2024 Elections

Former President Donald Trump complained Friday a Virginia judge's ruling that Republicans could not yank ballots away from local voters days before the presidential election was a "travesty."

Trump bemoaned on Truth Social the ruling from U.S. District Judge Patricia Tolliver Giles that Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin's executive order violated federal law by purging registered voters too close to the upcoming election.

Former President Donald Trump's refusal to meet routine deadlines foreshadows his willingness to embrace an alarming aspect of Project 2025 should he be reelected in November, a new analysis contends.

Trump's slow-walking of the presidential transition process to vet potential staffers and appointees suggests he means to force federal workers to do his bidding by dismantling key protections, Salon columnist Heather Digby Parton argued Friday.

Officials in a key swing state launched an investigation Friday after discovering 2,500 voter registrations they suspect of being fraudulent.

Many of the registration forms were found to have incorrect addresses, false identification information, false names or names that didn't match Social Security details, the elections officials in Pennsylvania's Lancaster County said.

A Friday decision by the top management of the Washington Post to not make a 2024 presidential endorsement resulted in a flood of complaints, criticism and outrage on the media company's website after controversial publisher William Lewis issued an official statement.

On the heels of the LA Times following a similar path and not endorsing either Vice President Kamala Harris or ex-president Donald Trump at the direction of billionaire owner Patrick Soon-Shiong who overruled his editorial board which led to a flood of resignations, Lewis announced a parallel move.

The mastermind behind former President Donald Trump's 2025 political platform has quietly outwitted her political rivals as she rose from beauty queen to powerbroker whilst quietly dodging the public eye — until now.

Former Trump aide Brooke Rollins on Friday became the subject of a lengthy Politico Magazine investigation revealing the unbridled power a onetime Cotton Bowl Queen could soon enjoy should the Republican presidential nominee win on Nov. 5.

Pershing Square Capital Management CEO Bill Ackman was roasted on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" on Friday for running interference for Donald Trump during an appearance on CNBC's "Squawkbox" earlier in the week.

A discussion with CNBC host Andrew Ross Sorkin on Donald Trump's standing with Wall Street executives quickly turned to the controversial Ackman who has become notorious for his extended diatribes on social media aimed at his critics who have called out his attempts to rationalize Trump's actions.

During his recent appearance on CNBC, the billionaire investor dismissed Trump's reported admiration for Adolf Hitler while also blaming Russia's invasion of neighboring Georgia during President George W. Bush's administration on President Joe Biden.

Addressing Ackman saying he didn't believe Gen. John Kelly's accusations leveled at Trump, MSNBC host Mika Brzezinski exclaimed, "I just want to understand how he, as successful as he is and intelligent seemingly as he is, could say that Donald Trump didn't say those things, and if he did, he didn't mean them, that Trump apologist route," before later adding, "How dare he?"

With co-host Joe Scarborough accusing Ackman of knowingly "spreading disinformation," Ross Sorkin admitted, "What, to me, is so concerning about this –– and I've said this to Bill before –– is that he has made his name as an activist investor trying to get at truth. He is often calling out CEOs for lying, that is part of his business. He has gone after companies for lying to the public; that is part and parcel of his franchise."

"So here we are with somebody in the context of former president Trump who lies with such regularity and it's not clear to me that any of these investors would be hiring –– would you go hire a CEO who lies?" he asked.

"You know the answer to that, nobody would hire this guy, "Scarborough interrupted. "Bill Ackman wouldn't hire this guy, you know that."

Ross Sorkin offered, "What I think is happening is I think someone like Bill Ackman on issues like Israel and other things believes, genuinely believes, that Vice President Harris is not as competent. I think this is the argument –– I'm not saying that's the case –– I'm saying they believe this."

"They don't believe that. They just cannot believe that, they can't be that ignorant," Scarborough shot back.

He was on the shortlist for a vice presidential spot, but in the end, it was Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN). Still, Gov. Josh Shapiro (D-PA) has become Kamala Harris' "secret weapon," said Politico.

The governor has become one of the biggest advocates, traveling through Pennsylvania, the Midwest, and the South.

In his column for NPR, media analyst David Folkenflik raised concerns that major media outlets are holding their fire on Donald Trump's trials and tribulations before the election out of fears of retaliation should he win re-election.

According to the journalist, recent actions by the LA Times, MSNBC and the Washington Post are worthy of scrutiny in light of a close election where a bombshell story and major endorsement could tip the scales towards one candidate or the other.
