2024 Elections

Democratic and Republican commentators clashed on CNN Wednesday when they were debating people who spread 2020 election conspiracies joining Donald Trump's administration in the White House.

Republican political consultant Shermichael Singleton dismissed concerns that those who participated in the fake-electors plot could be dangerous to the American government.

Far-right podcast host Steve Bannon warned of a "ticking time bomb" in the U.S. Senate that could sink President-elect Donald Trump's nominations.

On his Wednesday War Room podcast, Bannon blasted Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) as the major roadblock to the nominations of former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (R-HI), former Fox News host Pete Hegseth, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

CNN host Jim Acosta and Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) battled it out on the network on Wednesday.

Burchett, an ally to Donald Trump, appeared on the network. Acosta raised the issue of Matt Gaetz and questioned whether Trump had a mandate that encompassed controversial picks.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and other MAGA figures are fuming after Democrat Adam Gray overtook Rep. John Durate (R-CA) in a key race in the House of Representatives.

A batch of recently counted ballots in California's 13th congressional district gave Gray a lead over the incumbent Republican by just over 100 votes.

Former Republican Party Chairman Michael Steele addressed some of Donald Trump's cabinet picks and the demand to sign a loyalty agreement with him.

MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace pointed out Trump's demands that appointees of top government offices swear an oath to him — when they're supposed to swear an oath to the Constitution.

A senior advisor to Vice President Kamala Harris' presidential campaign suggested that she didn't appear on The Joe Rogan Experience because the popular host was using her as "leverage" to get President Donald Trump as a guest.

Four staffers from Harris' campaign appeared on the podcast Pod Save America on Tuesday. Stephanie Cutter, the campaign's senior advisor for strategy messaging, said that Harris wanted to appear on the show, but the timing didn't work out.

Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) has ordered a special election for Rep. Mike Waltz's (R-FL) House seat even though the lawmaker has not yet resigned.

Waltz confirmed to reporters Monday he would resign on Jan. 20 to become President-elect Donald Trump's national security advisor.

District Attorney Larry Krasner of Philadelphia has announced that he is officially dropping the case against Donald Trump appointee Elon Musk and his super PAC, America PAC.

The New York Times reported the filing but Puck News' Teddy Schleifer posted a screen capture of it on X, showing that the district attorney asked that the case be "Discontinued and Ended as to all parties without prejudice, with all parties bearing their own costs."

Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) revealed that former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (R-HI) doesn't yet have enough Republican votes to be confirmed as President-elect Donald Trump's director of national intelligence.

During a Monday interview with right-wing podcaster Charlie Kirk, Mullin said that Gabbard faced an uphill battle in the Senate because she was "compromised for a second" while traveling to meet Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

Donald Trump's opponents were reprimanded Monday for meeting his election victory with a seemingly quiet resignation.

Washington Post columnist Shadi Hamid wrote the anti-Trump "resistance" needs to awaken — and not roll over and accept what's coming.

The Republican Party may be in control of the House and Senate and President Donald Trump won the popular vote — but a columnist says the idea that he has been given a clear mandate is nonsense.

Writing for the Washington Post on Monday, Philip Bump said Trump is celebrating what he claims is overwhelming support for his plans, including an extensive overhaul of government. And he says winning the popular vote — albeit with a small number which can't be considered a "landslide," has given him a mandate.

Some of Donald Trump's most loyal supporters aren't forgetting how upset they are about two key nominees for his upcoming presidential administration.

Trump said on Friday that he had chosen Dr. Janette Nesheiwat, a physician and Fox News medical contributor, as his surgeon general. Raw Story reported the following day that some of the former and incoming president's biggest fans were not happy about it.
