No one asked Nikki Haley to come out of hiding to give her thoughts on Biden’s disastrous Presidential debate and take a veiled shot at Trump, but here we are. .... Snip.... Haley stated during the GOP presidential primary that Trump is experiencing mental “decline.” For ‘evidence’ of this, she claimed Trump confused her with former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. She explained to the Journal that doctors could administer the tests and should be voluntarily shared by candidates for federal office. “Washington is full of older people, and voters need to know who is up to the challenge and who...

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) said he did not vote for President Trump in the Georgia presidential primary in late May. Kemp in an interview with CNN’s Kaitlan Collins on Wednesday said he didn’t vote for anyone in the state’s primary because the GOP’s presidential race had already been decided. “I voted, but I didn’t vote for anybody. I mean, the race was already over when the primary got here,” Kemp told Collins. “Well, it would be, for me, personally, politically, I mean it would be interesting if [I’d] voted for him, it would be interesting if I didn’t, it...

Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) says Joe Biden is a “good guy,” breaking with former President Trump’s repeated efforts to villainize the president as the corrupt mastermind behind schemes to steal elections and persecute political opponents. But McConnell, who has endorsed Trump, says there are plenty of compelling policy reasons to oust Biden from office, and has laid out a road map for Trump to use at Thursday’s debate and on the campaign trail to attack Biden’s record in office. “I know Joe Biden pretty well. He’s a good guy; I like him personally,” McConnell told an audience in...

Former National Security Advisor John Bolton said Thursday on CNN’s “Newsnight” that advocates for a second Trump term were “deceiving people” on his foreign policy. Host Abby Phillip asked, “Former President Trump said in an interview tonight he once again praised Kim Jong Un, the North Korean leader. And this comes right after Vladimir Putin and Kim just struck this week a defense deal. I wonder, what does the alliance between Kim and Putin look like if Trump is elected again? He seems to constantly want to butter up this dictator. Bolton said, “Well, the Putin-Kim meeting in Korea was...

Former President Donald Trump‘s visit with Republicans on Capitol Hill last week did nothing to win over outgoing Sen. Mitt Romney to his cause. Romney, 77, had initially planned to give the presumptive Republican nominee’s DC meeting with the Utahan’s Senate colleagues a miss — but changed his plans after his flight was canceled. “I didn’t go there to support former President Trump. I went there to listen to what he was planning on doing if he became president,” Romney told CNN Tuesday. “With President Trump, it’s a matter of personal character. I draw a line and say when someone...

Sen. Tim Scott appears determined to take himself out of the running to be Donald Trump’s vice-presidential pick. In an interview on CNN’s State of the Union with host Jon Karl, Scott said he stood by his decision to certify the 2020 presidential election, despite widespread evidence of voter fraud that tipped the election in Biden’s favor. Here is a transcript of the exchange: JON KARL: OK. Senator, the day before that violent mob attacked the Capitol, you put out a statement explaining your decision to certify Joe Biden’s election victory. Do you stand by that? You were not one...

Anti-America First Sens. Mitt Romney (R-UT), Susan Collins (R-ME), and Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) will reportedly not attend a meeting with former President Donald Trump on Thursday in Washington, DC, citing a scheduling conflict. Trump’s return to Washington is the first time he will visit Capitol Hill since leaving the presidency, vanquishing primary rivals and raising huge sums of money following intense court battles.

Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and other high ranking Republicans in meetings with the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, Politico Playbook reported...

Former House Speaker Paul Ryan, a member of the Fox Corporation Board of Directors, said Tuesday on FNC’s “Your World” that American voters have terrible choices for president in November. Host Neil Cavuto asked, “There is this historic, unprecedented situation that we’re going to have a former president who’s a convicted criminal and we’re going to have a son of a president who’s a convicted criminal. And I’m just wondering what you think of that?” Ryan said, “Yeah, I think in a country with 350 million people, this is the choice we have. I, like the majority of Americans, wish...

Some Senate Republicans are expressing concerns over former President Trump’s calls for political vengeance after the 2024 election, warning that retaliatory prosecutions will lead the country down a bad road. The Senate GOP’s top leaders — Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) and Whip John Thune (S.D.) — have shown no desire to embrace Trump’s calls to prosecute senior Biden administration officials or his longtime nemesis Hillary Clinton. And some GOP senators are pushing back against conservative colleagues who want to freeze Justice Department funding or defund special counsel Jack Smith’s criminal prosecutions of Trump. They don’t want to stumble into a...

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said Monday he thinks most Americans would not have to face the gun charges for which President Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, is currently on trial in Delaware. In remarks to HuffPost, Graham defended the president’s son against the gun charges but said he thinks the second indictment Hunter Biden faces, charging him with tax crimes, is more legitimate. “I think any average American who’s done their taxes like Hunter Biden would have probably faced prosecution,” Graham said about the tax case, which is slated to go to trial in California in September. “However, I don’t think...

Former Speaker Kevin McCarthy on Sunday said that “every American should accept the results” of the upcoming presidential election, as some Republicans repeatedly refuse to say whether they’ll accept the results, regardless of who wins. Speaking to CNN’s “Inside Politics,” McCarthy also blasted Democrats for challenging “every single Republican elected president since George Bush,” specifically blaming Maryland Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin for saying that “Trump should be impeached before he was even sworn in.” “This is a question that’s for the whole American public. We’ve gotta get beyond it,” McCarthy added.

BREAKING: Donald Trump's former National Security Advisor John Bolton urges Republicans to abandon him as their presidential candidate now that's he's officially a convicted felon. This is absolutely brutal for MAGA... "Well, I think it's gonna be a big mistake for the party, for the country to nominate Donald Trump," Bold said during an appearance on CNN. "Precisely because he may well win this election. I'm not going to vote for Biden either, but I think if there's any chance left to get somebody else to replace Trump, which is highly unlikely to be sure, this ought to signal it...

Supporters of former President Donald Trump, including a former Wisconsin Supreme Court justice, submitted more than 9,000 signatures on Tuesday in an effort to force a recall election of Wisconsin’s top elected Republican after their first attempt fell short.

The bipartisan Wisconsin Elections Commission must determine whether there are enough valid signatures to trigger a recall election. The panel rejected the first attempt for not having enough valid signatures....

The House GOP effort to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress is in limbo, with Republicans unsure whether they have the votes to pass the measure. Two committees last week easily passed resolutions to censure Garland, and Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) has since projected confidence, saying he expects the measure to pass “handily” once lawmakers return from their weeklong Memorial Day recess. But a source familiar with behind-the-scenes discussions said there are at least two Republican members who have privately said they will not vote for the measure.That’s a problem given the razor-thin House GOP majority, which...
