2024 Elections

A Fox News host who threatened his wife with marital "D-Day" if she did not vote for former President Donald Trump faced swift backlash from viewers who swiftly roasted the controversial conservative pundit.

Jesse Watters on Wednesday night shocked even his own co-hosts with his reaction to Vice President Kamala Harris ads informing conservative women they do not have to disclose for whom they voted — and that the information cannot be accessed by the public.

During an appearance on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," former George W. Bush speechwriter Elise Jordan expressed disgust with Donald Trump for featuring a speaker at his Green Bay rally who has a history of sending unwanted sexual texts and explicit photos to women.

Speaking with co-host Mika Brzezinski and panelist Molly Jong-Fast about the former president's boast that he is a "protector of women," before adding ominously "whether the women like it or not," on Wednesday night, Jordan noted that former Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre also spoke.

Former ethics czar Richard Painter and 15 other current and former Republicans signed onto a "Friend of the Court" letter to the U.S. Supreme Court asking them to butt out of state election rules.

According to the lawyers, the Supreme Court would be side-stepping the Tenth Amendment if it makes decisions about state laws.

Billionaire Elon Musk, a supporter of Donald Trump, reportedly did not attend a court hearing involving his $1 million daily giveaway to registered voters.

Reuters reported that Musk was at risk of being held in contempt of court after he refused to attend the hearing.

A "powerful" endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris from a fiscally conservative publication has stunned the host and guest of MSNBC's "Morning Joe."

New York Times financial columnist Andrew Ross Sorkin and anchor Mika Brzezinski both expressed surprise Thursday morning that the Economist editorial board chose not to endorse former President Donald Trump.

Former President Donald Trump's return to the White House in 2025 could doom American citizens to an early death for a surprising reason revealed by a Washington Post contributor Thursday.

Health columnist and emergency physician Dr. Leana S. Wen expressed concern that Trump would task anti-vaccine advocate Robert F. Kennedy with choosing health agency chiefs who could face a major viral threat hovering on the horizon.

According to a report from the New York Times, a combination of polling from sketchy organizations along with reports on overseas betting markets favoring the GOP ticket are being used to keep up the spirits of Donald Trump's supporters with the election just days away.

With election watchers frantically attempting to get a handle on what will transpire next Tuesday, the Times' Ken Bensinger and Kaleigh Rogers report that Trump voters may be being lulled into a false sense of security by social media reports that tout pollsters that don't divulge their methodology.

Billionaire Elon Musk was expected in court in Philadelphia on Thursday, after a judge ordered him to attend a hearing in a lawsuit seeking to halt his $1 million giveaways to registered US voters in swing states.

Philadelphia's chief prosecutor Larry Krasner lodged the suit on Monday, calling Musk's project "an illegal lottery scheme", with the judge in the case ruling Wednesday that the billionaire is required to appear in court.

On Thursday morning, newly-anointed "Morning Joe" co-host Jonathan Lemire relayed to a national TV audience concerns from the editorial board of Nevada's largest paper that Donald Trump is mentally unfit to lead the country.

On Wednesday, the Las Vegas Sun went where the Jeff Bezos-owned Washington Post wouldn't go and alerted their readers that the former president is "not healthy enough to become the oldest president ever inaugurated after canceling numerous public appearances due to exhaustion and struggling to complete sentences when he does show up."

The entire panel on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" lit into Donald Trump on Thursday morning over new comments he made about controlling women's lives –– and then tied him to the death of a pregnant woman in Texas.

During Trump's rally in Green Bay, Wisconsin on Wednesday night, he followed up on his previous boast that he is a "protector" of women, and told the crowd of MAGA diehards, "I want to protect the people, I want to protect the women of our country, I want to protect the women, " before adding, "Well, I’m going to do it whether the women like it or not.”

According to political analyst Mark Leibovich, Donald Trump's campaign may not have time to recover from the stumbles of the past week with less than a week before voters head to the polls.

Appearing on MSNBC's "Way Too Early," the Atlantic columnist was asked by host Jonathan Lemire what direction voters appear to be going and Leibovich noted the former president's much-maligned Madison Square Garden rally was a setback from which he has little to no time to recover from.

"Well, I mean, I think Trump's closing argument has been really muddled, as you kind of would expect," he told the host. "He is a muddled messenger at this point."

"The Madison Square Garden event the other day has really hobbled him at the end," he then added. "It's not the kind of thing –– I don't care how glib they are about it –– that you want to be talking about in the final days. It is an ugly message."

"You can say the Access Hollywood thing in 2016 he survived, but this was uglier. It was a sanctioned, current political event that is fresh in everyone's mind," he added.

North Carolina is one of seven key battlegrounds that will likely decide the US presidential election, but western parts of the state are still reeling from the devastation of Hurricane Helene.

Life there is definitely far from back to normal, but residents are determined to cast their votes for Kamala Harris or Donald Trump.

Public health experts reacted with alarm Wednesday to reports that former President Donald Trump promised anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. control over federal agencies including the Department of Health and Human Services and Department of Agriculture should the Republican nominee defeat Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris in next week's election.

Speaking at last week's bigotry-laden campaign rally at Madison Square Garden in New York, Trump said that if he wins, he'll let Kennedy—who in August suspended his Independent presidential campaign and endorsed the GOP nominee—"go wild on health."
