2024 Elections

Just minutes after news broke that a federal grand jury had indicted Donald Trump on counts related to his actions to overturn the 2020 election, the former president did what he does as well as anyone.

He asked for money.

Conservative columnist and Fox News legal analyst Andrew McCarthy bucked widespread GOP thought Tuesday – and wrote that Donald Trump has no chance of winning in 2024.

"I persist in the conviction that Trump doesn't have a prayer of being elected president again," he wrote in the National Review.

DeSantis, who is seeking the 2024 GOP presidential nomination, slammed both Rep. Byron Donalds (R-Fla.) and Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.), who also is running for president, for their criticism of the standards, which were approved earlier this month by the Florida Board of Education and concluded that Black people benefited from slavery because they learned skills.

DeSantis accused Donalds and Scott of siding with Vice President Kamala Harris in her denunciation of the guidelines. Harris, the first African -American and Asian-American to hold the post, called them “revisionist history” that attempted to downplay “some of the worst examples of depriving people of humanity in our world,” including rape and torture.

Speaking in a logistics warehouse in Rochester, N.H., the Florida governor decried decades of U.S. economic policy, including offshoring manufacturing to countries such as China, bailouts to failing industries including banking, COVID lockdowns, which he said ushered in a “Faucian dystopia,” and federal stimulus spending that he claimed primed inflation.

“We cannot allow no longer (sic) the failed ruling class in this nation to dictate our nation’s policies,” DeSantis said.

Despite a commanding lead over his Republican presidential rivals, Donald Trump is leaving nothing to chance, as the former president’s campaign is working to change the rules to make it harder for second-place finishers to gather delegates, effectively clearing the path to secure the 2024 nomination.

Trump’s campaign team scored a major victory in California on Saturday when the state’s Republican executive committee voted in favor of distributing convention delegates based on the statewide vote as opposed to by congressional districts, which would have made it easier for a second-place finisher to remain competitive in a state with 169 delegates at stake, Salon reported.

Now that Donald Trump is building a commanding lead over the Republican primary field, his daughter and son-in-law are reportedly rethinking their exit from politics.

Trumpworld sources say Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner have been living at their cottage on the grounds of Bedminster, and they've made their presence felt among campaign staffers after announcing in November they were staying out of the ex-president's re-election campaign to focus on family and business, reported Vanity Fair.

A Republican operative who worked in the Trump administration said that Ron DeSantis’ crumbling campaign has created an opening for a new No. 2 in the Republican presidential race.

But Alyssa Farah Griffin, who served as Donald Trump’s White House director of strategic communications and now co-hosts "The View," said during an appearance on CNN’s “The Source with Kaitlan Collins” that any candidate serious about making a run at the nomination will have to take a more aggressive stance against her former boss.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. hails from a Democratic dynasty and is running for the Democratic nomination against President Joe Biden, but it's been clear for months the party's voters overwhelmingly reject him and that much of his support come from Republicans hoping he'll play spoiler.

New evidence emerged for that this week, as Politico reported that a super PAC supporting Kennedy got more than half its money from a Donald Trump-backing billionaire.
