  • Rand Paul: GO TRUMP GO

    X ^ | Feb 19 | Sen. Rand Paul
    @RandPaul A few people may have noticed that I resisted an enthusiastic endorsement of Donald Trump during the election. But now, I’m amazed by the Trump cabinet (many of whom I would have picked). I love his message to the Ukrainian warmongers, and along with his DOGE initiative shows I was wrong to withhold my endorsement. So today, admittedly a little tardy, I give Donald Trump my enthusiastic endorsement! (Too little too late some will say, but, you know, it is sincere, there is that.) Don’t expect this endorsement to be fawning. I still think tariffs are a terrible idea,...
  • Trump Endorsement Helps Mike Johnson Close Deal on Speakership Election

    Speaker Mike Johnson’s (R-LA) detractors are falling in line after President-elect Donald Trump put his thumb on the scale. Johnson ended the 118th Congress by bungling through a government funding battle – angering conservatives, moderates, and even Trump himself – and his chances at retaining the gavel into the next Congress appeared dire. Trump, with a single Truth Social post, appears to have saved Johnson. The once and future president left Johnson twisting in the wind for over a week after Johnson failed to deliver Trump’s ask of raising the debt ceiling through a government funding bill. With no word...
  • Oprah: 'I Was Paid Nothing, Ever' by Harris Campaign… So What Was That Million Dollars?

    Well, this is awkward. After Federal Election Commission filings showed that the Harris-Walz campaign paid a cool million to Oprah Winfrey's Harpo Productions company for the town hall where Oprah endorsed Harris, Oprah denied it. Caught on a backstreet by one of those TMZ video crews and asked if it was true that "they paid you a million dollars for the endorsement for Kamala," Oprah replied, "Not true. I was paid nothing, ever." “The campaign paid for the production costs of ‘Unite for America,’ a live-streaming event that took place Sept. 19 outside Detroit, Mich.,” a spokesperson for Harpo said,...
  • How Kamala Harris killed the celebrity endorsement: Parading A-listers instead of policies was always a recipe for disaster

    Kamala Harris’ candidacy is dead and so is the Hollywood celebrity endorsement. She officially killed that too. By turning her failed presidential effort into a three month long variety show with splashy performances, boldface speakers and a carefully rolled out succession of endorsements from La La Land’s most coddled citizens.

    A social media post claimed that the former Bulls star had given his support to the Republican candidate.Throughout his career, Michael Jordan has endorsed everything from cereal to luxury watches, not to mention, of course, his line of athletic shoes. However, the NBA legend recently had to clarify his stance on the impending presidential election. A day before people headed to the polls to cast their votes in one of the closest elections in decades, a post featuring Jordan began to go viral on social media. The message claimed that the former player had become "the latest to endorse...

    Actor Harrison Ford has revealed he will be backing Kamala Harris for the presidency with just days until the election. The 82-year-old star said in a dramatic black-and-white clip that he would be backing the incumbent Vice President and expressed concerns about Donald Trump. The Indiana Jones actor said: 'I've been voting for 64 years, never really wanted to talk about it very much, but when dozens of former members of the Trump administration are sounding alarms, saying "for god sake don't do this again", you have to pay attention.

    Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), a member of the progressive faction in the House referred to as the “Squad,” refused to back Vice President Kamala Harris during a Michigan United Auto Workers rally just days ahead of the election. With union workers forming a critical component of the Democratic base, Tlaib joined Reps. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) in rallying supporters in Detroit on Friday evening in a bid to shore up blue party support in the battleground state. Yet while Jayapal and Ocasio-Cortez urged workers to vote for Harris, Tlaib never mentioned her name. Tlaib has been a...

    R&B legend Smokey Robinson dissed women and minorities who are voting for former President Donald Trump in a video in which he endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris. “Wake up,” the singer proclaimed. “I really don’t understand how any person of color or any woman could find it in their hearts to vote for Donald Trump,” Robinson declared in a video posted to his social media on Thursday. “I’ve never felt the need to campaign publicly until now,” the “The Tears Of A Clown” singer said. “This is the most important election of my lifetime, and as far as I’m concerned,...

    Former Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY), one of the most prominent pro-Israel politicians in America, accepted the endorsement of several Arab American leaders for former President Donald Trump in New York City on Thursday. * * * But the Trump campaign appears to be pulling off one of the most remarkable political feats in recent memory: uniting pro-Israel conservatives with Arab and Muslim voters around a shared belief that only Trump can bring peace to the Middle East. They may believe that for different reasons. Jews and evangelical Christians, citing Trump’s outstanding record on Israel in his first term, believe that...

    Former Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY), one of the most prominent pro-Israel politicians in America, accepted the endorsement of several Arab American leaders for former President Donald Trump in New York City on Thursday. Zeldin, who is Jewish, accepted the endorsement on behalf of Trump himself, who is campaigning in the swing states ahead of Tuesday’s election. The scene was almost surreal: Zeldin, one of the most prominent Zionists on Capitol Hill, standing shoulder to shoulder with Arab and Muslim leaders who may have rather different views on Israel. But the Trump campaign appears to be pulling off one of the...

    A major Satmar group of ultra-Orthodox Hasidic Jews in New York officially endorsed former President Donald Trump on Monday for president, despite Democrat claims that he held a “Nazi” rally in Madison Square Garden on Sunday. Israel’s Arutz Sheva reported the endorsement on Monday, under the headline “[Kamala] Harris Is Bad for Jews”: Grand Rabbi Aharon Teitelbaum’s Satmar hasidic sect in New York has announced that it will officially support former US President Donald Trump’s candidacy for US president. The decision follows a set of discussions by the Satmar leadership, due to concerns that US Vice President Kamala Harris may...

    The Tampa Bay Times joined a growing number of news publications in announcing that they would not be endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris, according to the publication’s editorial board. In an opinion article, the outlet revealed that while the Times Editorial Board had made political recommendations for “17 Democrats and 13 Republicans across 30 partisan races,” along with candidates in “six non-partisan contests,” there was not a recommendation for a presidential candidate, adding that they “never planned to”:

At today’s rally, McGraw said that he was “not here just to stand up for Donald J. Trump. Lord knows, he doesn’t need me to stand up for him. He’s tough as an old army boot. He’s got lots of enemies, different groups that are scared, and between them, they have impeached him, indicted him, raided him, railroaded him, shot him and sued him....

    Former President Trump earned endorsements from "highly respected" Muslim leaders and Imams during a campaign rally in the battleground state of Michigan. Trump, speaking to a crowd in Novi, Michigan, on Saturday afternoon, called the group of Muslim leaders "highly respected," before bringing them onstage. "I’m thrilled to accept the endorsement of these highly respected leaders," Trump told the thundering crowd. The group of leaders cited Trump’s commitment to ending wars and ensuring global peace as a primary reason for their support, describing him as a leader who "promises peace, not war." "We, as Muslims, stand with President Trump because...

    Dr. Phil McGraw appeared at Donald Trump‘s Madison Square Garden rally, telling the crowd that the former president was “tough as an old Army boot” and pushing back on the idea that he is a bully. McGraw had interviewed Trump earlier this year for his network Merit Street Media, when the former daytime host said that he doesn’t endorse candidates but sided with the former president’s claims that his prosecutions were rigged. At today’s rally, McGraw said that he was “not here just to stand up for Donald J. Trump. Lord knows, he doesn’t need me to stand up for...

    One day after The Washington Post announced it would not endorse a presidential candidate in this year’s election or in the future, its billionaire owner remains silent as the newspaper’s staff are in turmoil. Jeff Bezos has so far declined to comment on the situation, even as his own paper’s journalists reported that it was Bezos who ultimately spiked the planned endorsement. A source with knowledge told CNN on Friday that an endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris had been drafted before it was squashed. In the last 24 hours, at least one editor has resigned, and high-profile Post staffers...

    The Washington Post has decided not to endorse a candidate for president this year. Ed has a post coming up discussing the matter, so I won't go into the reasoning or provide an analysis of what is behind that decision. Ed has been in this business longer than I have and is, frankly, better at that sort of thing. He is one of the best analysts I have ever met and a lot more dispassionate in his analyses. The Post, as far as I know, is the second major newspaper to bow out of the endorsement scramble this year after...

    Be like Taylor Swift. Cultivate friendships with people outside of your ideological circle — and keep them. Last week she wrote self-professed Swiftie Dave Portnoy a thank-you note for always having her back. And it was hand-delivered by her brother to the Barstool Sports honcho at her Miami concert. Nice gesture, right? Nope. As with anything in the Swift universe, it’s caused an earthquake: spawning think pieces, social media reactions and tons of coverage.
