2024 Elections

Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) left the presidential race on Sunday night, reported MSNBC, citing a Fox report.

"One thing I would recommend to every American if you ever want to love your country more, run for president," Scott told Trey Gowdy. "Traveling this country and meeting people [was] one of the most fantastic experiences of my entire life. I love America more today than I did on May 22. When I go back to Iowa, it will not be as a presidential candidate. I am suspending my campaign. I think the voters were the most remarkable people on the planet have been really clear. They are telling me not now. I don't think they're saying no, but I do think they're saying not now. So, I'm going to respect the voters, and I'm going to hold on and work really hard and look forward to the other opportunities."

A conservative commentator touted it as a "bombshell" report this week after he captured Robert F. Kennedy Jr. walking around a plane barefoot, TMZ posted Sunday.

Kennedy, an anti-vaccine activist, appears unconcerned about germs that permeate the plane bathroom floors and spread onto the cabin surfaces.

In a debate between Democratic and Republican strategists on CNN, the Dems speculated that Donald Trump can't cut it in Republican primary debates, and that's why he's not participating.

During the 2016 presidential election, Trump participated in every debate, even when it was clear he could win the Republican nomination. This time around, he hasn't appeared in any.

Pundits have spent the past several weeks trying to understand polls showing Americans think Joe Biden is "too old" to be president when Donald Trump isn't far off from the age.

As part of a CNN panel on Sunday, two Democrats and a Republican chatted with Jim Acosta about a recent interview with former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), who is still blaming Democrats for being kicked out of the seat.

Special counsel Jack Smith accused former President Donald Trump's legal team of misleading him in a ruse to have cameras broadcast his election subversion trial.

In a filing on Sunday, Smith called out Trump after he "reversed course" on whether cameras should be in the courtroom. But just days earlier, Trump had told Smith that he did not oppose the government's motion against courtroom cameras.

Former President Donald Trump on Sunday unloaded on New York Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron ahead of the testimony of Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump.

Using his Truth Social platform, Trump called himself a "victim of a corrupt legal system that is being used by those surrounding Crooked Joe Biden."

In a deep dive into a growing rift between conservative tech billionaires and the Republican party's 2024 presidential nomination aspirants, the Washington Post is reporting that top candidates Donald Trump and Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) have alienated the wealthy donors due to their extremist antics.

According to the report, key Silicon Valley tech executives don't care about social issues and are desperately looking for someone who will do their bidding when it comes to deregulation.

However, when it comes to Trump and DeSantis, their obsession with red meat cultural issues favored by their fans has alienated key donors.

The Post is reporting, "Although the tech elite often have criticized the left and 'wokeness,' some now say the GOP has overemphasized divisive social issues such as transgender rights and abortion at the expense of the tech titans’ primary political goal: radical deregulation."

Case in point, the report notes, is billionaire David Sacks who moderated the DeSantis campaign launch along with Elon Musk back when "X" was still called Twitter.

Since that time, along with X's fortunes, that relationship has gone downhill.

"The right-wing venture capitalist David Sacks was a major DeSantis backer, hosting the launch of DeSantis’s presidential campaign on X, formerly Twitter, in the spring," the Post is reporting. "But in recent months, Sacks has soured on DeSantis, according to two people familiar with his thinking, and has thrown fundraisers for rivals Vivek Ramaswamy and Robert F. Kennedy Jr, then running as a Democrat."

According to one insider, Sacks has parted ways with DeSantis because of the direction his struggling campaign has taken.

“Most Silicon Valley people are politically but not socially conservative,” asserted a Sacks associate. “All DeSantis needed to be was normal. Now he’s gone nuts on this woke thing.”

As for Trump, an associate of billionaire Peter Thiel explained his departure from the former president's camp, "The problem was Trump was very undisciplined, and his own character traits sabotaged the policy changes. Instead of just executing relentlessly, he would cause turmoil and chaos, and that would interfere with his agenda.”

MSNBC host Jen Psaki warned Democrats that "hand wringing" about President Joe Biden's weaknesses was missing the more significant problem that Donald Trump would "unravel the rule of law" in his next presidency.

During the opening of her program on Sunday, Psaki recalled recent reports about how Trump would punish his foes if he wins a second term.

Fox News host Brian Kilmeade was mocked by network contributor Leslie Marshall after he claimed Donald Trump can't remember who is president because he still thinks Barack Obama is in charge of the country.

During a Sunday Fox News discussion about President Joe Biden's age, Marshall pointed to a double standard.

Fox News host Maria Bartiromo on Sunday urged House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan (R-OH) to move forward quickly with an impeachment of President Joe Biden before he is re-elected.

"Tell us what your expectations are in terms of this investigation, and will it lead to an impeachment of Joe Biden?" Bartiromo asked Jordan during a Sunday interview.

Alina Habba, general counsel for Donald Trump, complained on Sunday after a judge placed a limited gag order on her and her client.

In an interview on Fox News, host Maria Bartiromo falsely claimed Attorney General Letitia James could talk about the fraud case against Trump, but "President Trump is not allowed to say anything." In fact, Trump and Habba have been ordered not to attack Justice Arthur Engoron's clerk.

Fox News host Rachel Campos-Duffy took at shot at Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump for spending time at a UFC fight instead of trying to convince GOP voters who didn't turn out for Tuesday's election.

During a Sunday discussion on Fox & Friends, co-host Will Cain said he had attended a UFC fight with Trump and called the atmosphere "electric."

Reacting to new polling that shows Donald Trump surging with voters in a potential 2024 presidential match-up with President Joe Biden, the former leader of the Republican National Committee called him a "clear and present danger" to the country.

In an interview with the Guardian's David Smith, Michael Steele joined with noted historian Allan Lichtman in explaining the damage the former president will inflict on the country should he be returned to the Oval Office based upon his recent comments.
