2024 Elections

Donald Trump's Save America PAC, which has been paying the crushing legal bills the twice-indicted former president and close aides have racked up due to multiple investigations, might be in the throes of a cash crunch reports the New York Times' Maggie Haberman and Shane Goldmacher.

With the Washington Post reporting that the PAC is expected to report on Tuesday spending over $40 million in legal fees for the past quarter, the Times now notes that the PAC made a $60 million donation to an affiliated PAC and then sought to claw it back.

Fox News host Eric Shawn corrected Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) after she compared Donald Trump's legal woes to President Joe Biden and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

Blackburn argued during a Sunday interview that there were "two tiers of justice."

Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley confirmed on Sunday that she still wants to pardon former President Donald Trump despite a new obstruction of justice charge.

During an interview on Face the Nation, host Margaret Brennan asked Haley if she would pardon Trump after he was accused of trying to delete videotapes showing possible criminal acts at Mar-a-Lago.

NBC host Chuck Todd argued that Republican voters may not realize Donald Trump can't win the presidency until it's "too late."

While speaking to NBC host Willie Geist on Sunday, Todd was asked if anything could change Trump's lead in the Republican primaries.

The impact Donald Trump will have on Republicans who will appear on the 2024 general election ballot, where he likely will be the GOP's presidential nominee, is already playing out in one swing state that could see the governorship flip with the former president as a key factor.

In her column for the New York Times, editorial, board member Michelle Cottle pointed out the coming battle in New Hampshire where Republican Gov. Chris Sununu -- a highly vocal critic of Trump -- is not running for re-election and the top Republican to replace him has a history with Trump that will come back to haunt her.

Writing "... the governor’s race in the politically quirky Granite State has some superjuicy drama percolating — the kind that offers a vivid reminder of just how much trouble Donald Trump stands to cause for his party in 2024," Cottle explained that former Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R) has jumped in the race and she will be put in the position of having to addressing the Trump situation which could sink her chances if she doesn't toe the MAGA line.

According to the columnist, "Seven years later, Ms. Ayotte is looking to make a comeback. Unfortunately for her, so is Mr. Trump, who may be popular in deep red states but will be a source of agita for Ms. Ayotte and other Republicans in swing states who might have to share the ticket with him."

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' odds of beating out former President Donald Trump for the 2024 Republican Party presidential nomination is in full collapse — which has led to his much-derided "reset". And according to one report, the combative Florida governor did himself no favors this past week, and he likely made things worse.

As Newsweek's Andrew Stanton observed, the one thing DeSantis had going for him was a decent margin of approval among Black voters compared to Trump. He is doing damage with that potential voting bloc by doubling down on the controversial claim about the upside to slavery that even has Black GOP lawmakers taking shots at him.

Not only is businessman Vivek Ramaswamy facing an uphill battle to replace Donald Trump as the Republican Party's 2024 presidential nominee, he also has to overcome a smear campaign by the Christian Nationalist faction of the party which objects to his Hindu faith.

According to a report from Rolling Stone, the fast-talking Ramaswamy, who has risen to double-digit figures in recent polls and is catching up with Trump rival Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL), has found an audience that is intrigued by his presidential bid and that some Christian Nationalists like him -- they just wouldn't vote for him.

Reacting to the superseding indictment filed against Donald Trump this past week that contains three new charges tied to obstruction of justice and illegally sharing classified documents, the opinion editors of the conservative Wall Street Journal urged Republican lawmakers to stop making excuses for him and make sure he is not on the ticket in the 2024 election.

Citing overwhelming evidence that the former president had close aides — who have now been indicted themselves as co-conspirators — attempt to erase surveillance video sought by the FBI at his Mar-a-Lago resort, the editors declared that enough is enough and provided a laundry list of Trump transgressions that continue to cast a shadow over his third presidential run.

According to a bevy of legal experts who spoke with Salon, the superseding Department of Justice indictment Donald Trump was slammed with this past week, which contained three new charges related to stolen government documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate, makes the federal case against him infinitely stronger and increases the chances he'll end up in jail if doesn't make a deal with special counsel Jack Smith's office.

With the president currently facing 40 charges that will be heard in a Florida courtroom by Judge Aileen Cannon next year — and reports that more could be coming in Washington, D.C., over the Jan. 6 insurrection — one legal scholar suggested Trump may die in jail given his advanced age.

Speaking with Salon's Areeba Shah, James Sample.of Hofstra University's School of Law, claimed reports that the former president had close aides -- now charged as co-conspirators — attempt to destroy surveillance video at Mar-a-Lago will make the prosecution of the former president that much easier.

As he explained, "Attempting to delete the surveillance footage has not only obstruction of justice ramifications but will also be useful to prosecutors in demonstrating consciousness of guilt," before adding, "It is the consciousness of guilt that is particularly compelling. Innocent parties don't take steps to delete evidence of innocence."
