Senior officials from the White House and his campaign reportedly expressed their doubts in private about his continuation in the race. Despite the concerns, Biden’s campaign confirmed that the president is currently reflective, particularly during his isolation period after testing positive for Covid-19.

In the final stretch of President Donald Trump’s vice presidential selection process, former First Lady Melania Trump is reportedly championing North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum. According to Puck News, Melania has been vocal in her support for Burgum, 67, who has actively campaigned for Trump across several swing states. This endorsement is influenced by Melania’s close relationship with Burgum’s wife, Kathryn, who collaborated with her on a White House initiative. Meanwhile, Donald Trump Jr. is lobbying strongly for Ohio Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH), creating a competitive internal dynamic. A source remarked, “If it’s Melania over Don Jr., she wins,” though…

Congresswoman Maxine Waters (D-CA) found herself in an unexpected situation during a CNN interview last night.

The scene unfolded as CNN’s Abby Phillip asked sharp questions about the Democratic strategy in the upcoming election, contrasting the performance of President Biden with that of former President Donald Trump.

Since June’s debate, an increasing number of lawmakers have expressed doubts about Biden’s ability to compete in the upcoming race. Biden has been making efforts to dismiss any speculation of him bowing out.

With just a week until the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, where former President Donald Trump is expected to be renominated as the GOP presidential candidate, the party has officially adopted a new platform solidifying Trump’s influence. Today, the Republican National Committee (RNC) Platform Committee announced the approval of the 2024 Republican Party Platform, a robust agenda contrasting with the “record of weakness, failure, and dishonesty” of the current administration under Joe Biden.

The Supreme Court has delivered a significant setback to the Biden administration’s environmental initiatives by ruling against the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) efforts to enforce stricter air quality controls across several states. At the heart of the contention was the EPA’s “good neighbor” rule, aimed at managing ozone pollution that crosses state lines. The plan, originally designed to apply to 23 states, intended to establish stringent controls to mitigate the effects of ozone pollution—a move that has now hit a judicial roadblock. Justice Neil Gorsuch, representing the majority, penned a critical opinion that effectively pauses the EPA’s ambitious regulatory framework,…
The atmosphere is charged in Washington as Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) escalates the ongoing clash between congressional Republicans and the Justice Department. A stalwart in her party, Luna drew a hard line with Attorney General Merrick Garland, whose contentious history includes a failed Supreme Court nomination under the Obama administration. Luna ramped up her campaign by issuing an ultimatum to Garland, demanding compliance with a House Oversight Committee subpoena. Failure to comply, she warned on Wednesday, would trigger a vote on an “inherent contempt” measure, a powerful but seldom-used congressional tool. “We are here today because of the double…

Jamaal Bowman, the contentious New York congressman, often cites his background as a former school principal and his Ed.D. in education to bolster his policy positions. However, a new analysis by school choice leader Christopher Rufo reveals that his 2019 dissertation, “Community Schools: The Perceptions and Practices that Foster Broad-Based Collaboration amongst leaders with the Community School Ecosystem,” is fraught with basic errors, illogical conclusions, and several instances of plagiarism. (Bowman did not respond to requests for comment.) Bowman has frequently praised his dissertation on social media, viewing it as a cornerstone of his political philosophy. When recently asked about…

Prominent pollster Frank Luntz has sounded the alarm for Democrats, cautioning that Donald Trump could potentially win Minnesota, a state historically considered a Democratic stronghold. Despite facing significant legal challenges, Trump continues to defy conventional political expectations. “To me, it’s not that Donald Trump is winning so big in Iowa. That’s not the story. It’s that he’s making it close in Minnesota,” Luntz remarked. “Minnesota is a reliable Democratic state. It votes Democrat in every presidential campaign. In poll after poll, I see Trump within two or three points in Minnesota.” Minnesota, traditionally a bastion for Democratic candidates in presidential…

President Joe Biden appeared notably disjointed during his remarks at an event on Sunday, prompting visible astonishment from former President Barack Obama in a recently surfaced video clip from their high-profile Los Angeles fundraiser. The event, aimed at drumming up support for Biden’s 2024 reelection campaign, inadvertently showed a series of verbal missteps from Biden that have fueled critiques about his fitness for office. During his address, Biden made a confusing remark about the nation’s unemployment rates, initially claiming, “We have the highest unemployment” in 50 years, before quickly correcting himself to highlight a record low unemployment rate. The slip,…

Trump reiterated his advocacy for using tariffs as leverage in international negotiations, a strategy he extensively employed during his first term. He proposed an “all tariff policy,” suggesting it could potentially lead to the abolition of the income tax in the U.S. During the private gathering, Trump introduced the idea that increased tariff revenue could offset the need for income taxes. Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY) discussed fiscal proposals…
