Former President Trump on Sunday compared himself to former President Nixon, touting the support he has in Congress and within his party as he weathered impeachment proceedings and now faces ongoing legal battles. “I’ll never forget: When that happened, we had such great support. Nixon had no support. You know, he just didn’t have support. He was very, very tough with people. I get along with people. I mean, I have great Jim Jordan, and all these congressmen are great. They’re really incredible people,” Trump said in an interview with Mark Levin, aired on Fox News. “Nixon didn’t get along...

What can the allied governments do to help the Ukrainians right now over the next year? Do we begin – is it too early to talk about reconstruction projects? At least the western half of the country. What’s our best move now? Yellen said, “Let me make clear, the United States and the allies, our support for Ukraine will be lasting and is unconditional. We stand with Ukraine and...

Half of American respondents in a new poll on Thursday said the U.S. should continue to support Ukraine for “as long as it takes” to win the war against Russia, which has now dragged on for a year. Fifty percent of respondents in a poll from Fox News said America should continue to back Ukraine through the end of the war, while another 46 percent said there should be a “limited timeframe” on U.S. support.

CLAIM: President Joe Biden claimed during the State of the Union address Americans are united in support for Ukraine. Biden told the Ukrainian ambassador to the U.S., who was a guest at the speech, “America is united in our support for your country. We will stand with you as long as it takes.” VERDICT: FALSE. Recent polls show the country is now almost evenly divided in supporting Ukraine in its war against Russia.

But in an interview with conservative radio talk show host Hugh Hewitt on Thursday, Hogan reluctantly conceded that he would support whoever the GOP’s choice for president is in 2024. “Yeah, I just don’t think [Trump will] be the nominee, but I’ll...

A growing portion of Americans think that the U.S. is giving too much support to Ukraine, as the Biden administration and other western allies have taken steps in recent weeks to escalate their backing of the country in its war against Russia. About a quarter of Americans, 26 percent, think the U.S. support of Ukraine is too strong, according to a new Pew Research Center poll. It is a percentage of people that has steadily grown since the Russian invasion of Ukraine last year and has jumped 6 points since September. The U.S. has sent billions of dollars to Ukraine...

Monday on FNC’s “Hannity,” Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) argued that former President Donald Trump was still his choice for the 2024 Republican presidential primary despite a potentially crowded field, including possible candidates from his home state of South Carolina. According to Graham, some of Trump’s marquee policy achievements could only have been accomplished by Trump. “It seems like the Trump agenda is the agenda for the entire Republican Party, so that — how will other candidates distinguish themselves against Donald Trump if they agree with his policies?” host Sean Hannity asked. “I really don’t know, but I do know this:...

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said Friday morning that the United States will support Ukraine “for as long as it takes” a day after the U.S. announced another multibillion-dollar assistance package for the country. The U.S. announced late Thursday evening that it has approved another military aid package to Ukraine for $2.5 billion dollars, bringing up total U.S. military assistance to Ukraine since the beginning of 2021 to $27.5 billion. The U.S. announcement called it “significant” and “unprecedented.” So far, the U.S. has allocated more than $100 billion in aid since the conflict began in February 2022.

He was with me from the beginning”: McCarthy mentioned that Trump made multiple calls to other members in support. “Somebody wrote the doubt of whether he was there, and he was all in. He would call me, and he would call others. And he really was. I was just...

Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) said Thursday on Fox Business Network’s “Kudlow” that Republican support of giant omnibus spending bills “should never happen” again. Anchor Larry Kudlow said, “Senator Lee, just the last point here. I think Sen. Rand Paul put his finger on it. He was on our show a couple of nights ago. He said the GOP has lost any power of the purse, and he said the GOP has emasculated itself. This is not a good episode for the Republican Party, is it?” Lee said, “No, not at all.”

During an interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper released on Friday, Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (I-AZ) stated that she supported President Joe Biden in 2020 because she “felt at the time he was the best candidate running for President.” But declined to say if she’ll support Biden in 2024 and said that she’ll “make my decision based on who I think is right for our country, who is the best person for the job.” Tapper asked, “Looking forward to 2024, will you support Joe Biden for President if he runs?”

Former Trump administration economic adviser and Fox Business host Larry Kudlow said Wednesday on his show “Kudlow” that his former boss was losing supporters. Kudlow said, “I want to clear the air. I want to get this out of here. I don’t understand what our former boss is doing. I love the guy, but I do not understand Kanye West hanging out with white nationalists, hanging out with antisemitic people, talking about ending the Constitution or postponing the Constitution. I don’t get it. I don’t know why he’s saying it. And if he says it, why hasn’t he given, you...

A bipartisan group of U.S. lawmakers has pledged support for an affordable housing bill that could lead to the development of 500,000 starter homes in struggling communities over the next decade. The Neighborhood Homes Investment Act, introduced in both the House and Senate, would offer a tax incentive to developers to minimize their risk when building or rehabilitating existing housing. In some areas of the U.S., the cost of rehabilitating or building a home could exceed the eventual sale price. This bill would fill the “value gap,” up to 35 percent of eligible development costs for new homes. The bill...

Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin on Monday said the U.S. will continue to support Ukraine “for as long as it takes,” underscoring the Biden administration’s commitment to keep funding the nation in its war against Ukraine despite concerns a new Republican majority in the House may plug up spending.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenksyy on Tuesday urged U.S. lawmakers to continue their "unwavering" support for Kyiv even if Republicans gain majority control in the House of Representatives. As Americans head to the polls Tuesday for the midterm elections, officials around the globe are watching to see if and how the balance of power will shift between Democrats and Republicans. Kyiv has relied heavily on U.S. support throughout the eight-month war following Russia’s invasion in February, but concern has mounted in the war-torn nation that Washington's support may weaken if Republicans gain control in Congress.

“Now 40% of Hispanics and 21% of Blacks are backing the Republican” party, reports the far-left USA Today. “The issue of inflation – and the feeling that the White House hasn’t done enough to address it – is helping Republicans score significant inroads among Hispanic and Black voters, both demographic groups that Democrats have long relied on for support,” USA Today adds. For context, back in 2020, former President Trump earned 12 percent of the black vote and 32 percent of the Hispanic vote.

The leaders of nine NATO nations from Central and Eastern Europe issued a joint statement on Sunday in support of Ukraine's path to membership in the alliance.
