Republican presidential candidate former Gov. Nikki Haley (R-SC) said Friday on CNN’s “Inside Politics” that “no president should ever be above the law” when asked about the Supreme Court hearing arguments on former President Donald Trump’s claims of presidential immunity. Anchor Dana Bash said, “I want to start with what’s happening with Donald Trump today. He’s back in Florida for one of the federal cases against him. Meanwhile, in another, the January 6, case, the Supreme Court announced this week that it would hear arguments in April about whether or not he will get his push for immunity. This means...

Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-Mich.) warned Tuesday that her colleague Rep. Rashida Tlaib’s (D-Mich.) anger at President Biden over his administration’s handling of the Israel-Hamas war could backfire if it helps elect former President Trump, who she said could be far worse for Palestinians. Dingell said it is important to listen to the Muslim and Arab American communities in Michigan, as voters in the state go to the primary polls on Tuesday. Tlaib has backed a push for Democratic voters to vote “uncommitted” in protest of Biden’s support for Israel, and refusal to back a ceasefire in the war. But Dingell...

Another House Democrat balked when asked whether President Biden should run for a second term in 2024. “I’m so sick of these ‘gotcha’ questions and everything else,” Rep. Debbie Dingell of Michigan shot back Thursday on NBC’s “Meet the Press Now” when asked by host Kristen Welker if she wanted to see the President run again. Pushed by Welker — who put the question to Dingell a second time — the response was lukewarm. “If he wants to run — let’s see what he’s going to do,” Dingell finally said.

Steven Rattner, the head of former President Obama’s auto industry task force, called President Biden’s visit to Michigan and a United Auto Workers (UAW) picket line “outrageous” in a Wednesday interview. “For him to be going on a picket line is outrageous,” said Rattner, a former journalist who later worked in private equity, said in an interview with NBC News. “There’s no precedent for it. The tradition of the president is to stay neutral in these things.”

Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-Mich) said President Biden should not intervene in negotiations between the United Auto Workers (UAW) union and automakers amid an ongoing strike. “First of all, I do not believe that the President should intervene or be at the negotiating table. I’ve said that from the beginning,” Dingell said, in an interview with “Face The Nation” moderator Margaret Brennan on Sunday.

Chris Christie appealed to Republican bigwigs in a private meeting in which he made his case that he would be the solution to their Trump problem, expressing his willingness to be deployed as a human torpedo to sink the 2024 GOP frontrunner in a 45-minute rant in New Hampshire, according to a new report on the former New Jersey governor who is ready to declare his candidacy.

And this is an opportunity for Republicans to remind voters just...

MSNBC host Tiffany Cross host has declared that “we want to see” authorities arrest President Donald Trump and “perp walk” him publicly. Cross casually veered away from impartial journalism and gave up the game while talking to talk show host Roland S. Martin and MSNBC legal analyst Glenn Kirschner.

Vice President Kamala Harris bungled a history lesson about the Juneteenth holiday Monday, telling kids that black people were enslaved in America for 400 years — overstating the actual time period by more than 150 years. “I think that we all know today is a day to celebrate the principle of freedom,” Harris told a group of about two dozen elementary school-aged children at the National Museum of African American History & Culture in Washington. “And think about it in terms of the context of history, knowing that black people in America were not free for 400 years of slavery.”...

The report released on Wednesday by the House Intelligence Committee begins with a powerful indictment: “The impeachment inquiry,” the first sentence says, “uncovered a monthslong effort by President Trump to use the powers of his office to solicit foreign interference on his behalf in the 2020 election.” Mentions of the “2020 election” and the president’s re-election campaign can be found scattered throughout the 300-page document.
