2024 Elections

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) is pointing fingers at President Joe Biden as Democrats look for someone to blame for Donald Trump winning the 2024 election.

Speaking to the New York Times Friday, Pelosi complained: “Had the president gotten out sooner, there may have been other candidates in the race.”

Republican U.S. Senator-elect Dave McCormick’s lawyers withdrew a request on Friday for a Philadelphia judge to intervene to prevent election officials from counting provisional ballots without adequate Republican observation, according to court records.

McCormick’s campaign filed the lawsuit Thursday after the Associated Press declared him the winner of the Senate race by a narrow margin over incumbent Democratic Sen. Bob Casey. Casey refused to concede, with his campaign saying that up to 100,000 provisional and overseas absentee ballots remained to be counted.

President-elect Donald Trump courted union voters during his successful 2024 presidential bid, and now Bloomberg reports that his incoming administration is poised to deliver a "body blow" to organized labor that has enjoyed a significant renaissance under President Joe Biden's administration.

While Biden's administration has helped multiple unions score big new contracts and organizing victories, as well as eliminating noncompete clauses that hold workers back, Trump's last National Labor Relations Board was far more hostile to organized labor and his next one could be even more so.

Donald Trump on Friday attacked California Governor Gavin Newsom for calling a special legislative session to safeguard the state's progressive policies from the incoming Republican administration.

The Democratic governor called for the session a day after the former president defeated Kamala Harris in the presidential race, and he said legislators were ready to "Trump-proof" state laws and approve more funding for the attorney general's office to challenge federal policies.

Appearing on CNN Friday afternoon, Senator-elect Jim Banks (R-IN) was pressed for how the incoming Donald Trump administration will round up 15 million immigrants, and then proceeded to blow off questions about the horrific impact it could potentially have on families and the economy.

Speaking with CNN host Dana Bash, Banks dismissed reports that a central motivating factor for Trump's win was concerns about the economy, and claimed the ex-president has a overwhelming "mandate" to rid the country of undocumented immigrants.

According to the Indiana conservative, he expects Trump will make a "quick car ride" to the Oval office after his inauguration and sign paperwork ordering the round-up.

"We are going to begin the process of deporting the over 15 million illegals that have come into this country under Joe Biden's watch," he boasted to which Bash pressed, "First of all, just to better understand what the actual policy is and how it will be executed will be, do you see all undocumented immigrants –– should they all be kicked out of the country?"

"Conservative estimate says there are at least 15 million illegals who have come into the country on Joe Biden's watch," he replied. "It's my hope that we deport every single one of them that we can and it starts with violent criminals who are in the United States who came here illegally who have committed violent crimes, and I think, once you do that, President Trump is committed to making that his first and top priority when it comes to mass deportation."

"And how does that work? That's a huge undertaking," the CNN host asked.

"No doubt about it. President Trump said yesterday that it could be costly, but the American people deserve it," he replied.

"If you just pick Indiana, for example, how do you want the federal government to go about finding people and physically getting them out of the country?" he was asked.

"I don't think it's that complicated," he blithely replied. "I spoke with a local sheriff in Indiana earlier today, local law enforcement is ready to go and do what it takes to help with a mass deportation effort but if you take away the incentives and put pressure on businesses who hire illegals in this country, most of those who are here illegally are going to go back on their own. And that's what Donald Trump and Republicans in the House and Senate are focused on."

Donald Trump has promised to give Robert F. Kennedy Jr. a major role overseeing public health, and an expert shuddered at what that could mean for Americans.

The president-elect has said he would allow Kennedy to “go wild” on health, food and medicine in some unspecified role in his second administration, and public health expert Dr. Paul Offit appeared Friday morning on CNN to discuss the dangers posed by the vaccine opponent's plans.

A refusal to answer a question about what to expect from Donald Trump now that he has been re-elected led "Morning Joe" co-host Joe Scarborough to admonish famed journalist Bob Woodward on Friday morning.

Woodward, who has a history of being criticized for sitting on bombshell stories and saving them for his books, was asked by the MSNBC host, "Right now you have people in and out of government trying to figure out, was that just Donald Trump on the campaign trail talking, or should he be taken at his word? His own supporters say, 'Oh, he doesn't mean any of that, he's just saying that to rev up the crowd.' Based on your knowledge, if you were Mark Milley or Liz Cheney or CBS News, would you be worried right now?"
