2024 Elections

Former President Donald Trump's appearance at a major college football game in Alabama Saturday night didn't inspire as much excitement as it would have in the past, according to a new analysis.

Trump's reception at the Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa — where he was joined by rap-rocker Kid Rock and country singer Hank Williams Jr. were with him — surprised NOTUS reporter Ben T.N. Mause, he wrote Tuesday.

Former President Donald Trump gave a speech Tuesday where he again complained about the size of a crowd at one of his recent rallies even before mentioning the victims of Hurricane Helene or Iran's missile attack on Israel.

Trump began his speech in Waunakee, Wisconsin, by noting he had spoken in the state just days earlier.

A key campaign pledge from Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) would have disastrous consequences on the southwest Ohio community where Vance grew up and the state he represents, according to an analysis by The New York Times.

Vance and former President Donald Trump have repeatedly set their sights on repealing the Inflation Reduction Act, a landmark piece of legislation signed by President Joe Biden that reforms energy production and fixes some holes in health care coverage, investing in climate response while simultaneously bringing down the federal deficit.

Former Gov. Tommy Thompson (R-WI) announced mid-speech Tuesday that he had gotten a call from former President Donald Trump telling him to "get the hell off the stage."

During a rally in Waunakee, Thompson gave a fiery speech about how Trump could win the state.

The bombs had barely even begun to fall in Iran's escalatory missile strike on Israeli cities, when former President Donald Trump proclaimed that he could have prevented the whole thing by projecting a tough guy attitude in the White House.

"[ Iran] should not do it. It would be a big mistake if they do," Trump told NBC News Capitol Hill correspondent Garret Haake. "They have no respect for the administration. This would have never happened if I was president.”

New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) welcomed Thursday the support of former Republican President Donald Trump after he was indicted for allegedly taking bribes from foreign governments — then faced almost immediate criticism.

Following Adams' indictment, Trump blamed the charges on the mayor's criticism of undocumented immigrants in the city.

Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) has to impress an audience of one as much as he needs to win over voters in Tuesday's vice presidential debate, and a columnist suspects he'll imitate another "shouty" Yale Law School graduate who once faced a similar task.

The Ohio Republican will face off against Democratic rival Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) in the debate, and Daily Beast columnist Nell Scovell expects him to "go for the Trumpian emotional trifecta: playing the victim, spewing anger, and attacking women" – much like Supreme Court justice Brett Kavanaugh did during his confirmation hearings.

The New York Times has been flooded with angry letters from readers warning former President Donald Trump's rhetoric and behavior render him unfit to serve as commander in chief, a new editorial shows.

The Times published Tuesday a slew of letters to the editor in which readers condemn Trump's description of Vice President Kamala Harris as "mentally disabled" as both racist and unhinged.

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump complained about speaking to a relatively small crowd at a recent rally in Wisconsin.

Trump admitted being angry about the rally during an interview with Fox Nation host Kellyanane Conway this week.

Former President Donald Trump asserted that the current U.S. education system was "mostly transgender" instead of "reading, writing, arithmetic."

During an interview on Fox Nation with host Kellyanne Conway, Trump defended his plan to disband the U.S. Department of Education.

Former President Donald Trump claimed he was "not allowed" to talk about the COVID-19 vaccine and Operation Warp Speed because he was a Republican candidate.

During an interview with Fox Nation this week, Trump told host Kellyanne Conway that he had the "greatest economy in history" until the pandemic.

Donald Trump was blasted on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" on Tuesday morning for telling a blatant lie that carries the risk of Hurricane Helene victims not seeking the help that they desperately need.

On Monday, while doing a photo-op tour of communities devastated by Hurricane Helene, Trump insisted President Joe Biden was denying aid to Georgia because of the state's Republican leadership which, in turn, led Gov. Brian Kemp (R-GA) to tell reporters that the former president was dead wrong.

After showing clips of both Trump and Kemp, "Morning Joe" co-host Willie Geist was joined by Jonathan Lemire in calling out the former president for knowingly lying to score cheap political points.

"You know, Jonathan Lemire, this is particularly disgusting lie," Geist began. "When people there need help, suggesting that the White House and FEMA, because Democrats don't want Donald Trump to win, of course it all comes back to him, they're turning their backs on him.

"He's also suggested that the White House and this federal government is ignoring MAGA supporters in red counties," he added. "That's, of course, not true. Just not even in this moment of destruction and devastation and people needing clarity and help so badly, can't even put his ego and cheap insults aside in this moment."

"Rooting against the country is one of the themes from Donald Trump," Lemire interjected. "This is a particularly dangerous lie. If he is out there saying, 'Hey, the federal government is ignoring those impacted by the storm,' that may discourage those impacted by the storm from even seeking help. State and federal officials are saying, 'Look, we're here. reach out to us. we're trying to reach you and assist you in this time of need.' Donald Trump only thinking about himself."
