2024 Elections

During an appearance on MSNBC on Sunday afternoon, noted political scientist Larry Sabato expressed extreme alarm at Donald Trump antics over the past few weeks and said there is a legitimate concern about the former president's sanity.

Speaking with host Alex Witt, the founder of the Center for Politics at the University of Virginia said the polls are still exceedingly tight for the election that is slightly over two weeks away.

Adding that voters need to take a serious "measure" of both nominees before heading to the polls, he suddenly changed direction and expressed concerns about the former president making his third bid for the Oval Office.

"We all know what the standard issues are in this campaign, but another one has been added by Donald Trump, which may dominate the remaining 16 days," he told the host, "Which is, how sane is he? How sane is he? Is he really unhinged?"

He added, "He certainly does appear that way in many of his presentations. He's always done weird things, but in the past couple of weeks, he has not only gone around the bend, he's gone off the tracks."

"And so there's a new issue, and it is bubbling up, and it might actually have an effect," he advised.

Trump surrogate Hogan Gidley defended former President Donald Trump after he praised the golfer Arnold Palmer's genitals.

During a Sunday panel on Newsmax, liberal pundit Ellis Henican confronted Gidley after he said that the American people did not care about the various court cases against Trump.

Less than three weeks until Election Day, Donald Trump and his running mate, Senator JD Vance (R-OH), are amplifying one campaign strategy steeped in a long conservative tradition, according to journalist and "White Rural Rage: The Threat to American Democracy" author Paul Waldman.

In a Sunday, October 20 op-ed published by MSNBC, Waldman notes that, usually, "Democrats dominate in cities, while Republicans rule in rural areas." And while Vice President Kamala Harris, and her running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, "are working to attract rural voters and promoting policy initiatives to improve life for rural Americans," Trump and Vance are doing just the opposite.

A complaint by a GOP operative that Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign has taken an ugly turn landed with a thud on CNN's "State of the Union" on Sunday morning.

During the panel discussion hosted by Jake Tapper, former Trump 2020 campaign communications official Erin Perrine attempted to turn the conversation away from the former president's rally speech about golfer Arnold Palmer's private parts by stating the "joy" has gone out of his opponent's campaign.

That led CNN regular Bakari Sellers to laugh and exclaim, "No, no, no."

According to Perrine, "There was such platitudes about all the joy she was bringing, but now it's an aggressively negative message from her now against Donald Trump because here's the thing: Democrats know and as much as every day there is some level of self-fulfilling process prophecy. Donald Trump makes a comment, people get outraged, people talk about the outrage on panels and then they turn around...."

"The joy is gone, "Sellers interrupted before setting her up with, "I'm agreeing with you."

"The joy is gone because we had 20,000 people in Atlanta with Usher Raymond and the joy was absolutely not in the building," he sarcastically continued before asking, "What are you talking about?"

Fox News host Howard Kurtz argued with former President Donald Trump over "debunked" claims that Haitians were eating the pets of residents in Springfield, Ohio.

During an interview that aired on Sunday, Kurtz asked Trump why he would not admit that the assertion about Haitians was not true.

Fox News host Maria Bartiromo and Eric Trump sought to clean up former President Donald Trump's threat to use the U.S. military against "radical left lunatics" and "the enemy from within."

During a Sunday segment with Eric Trump on Fox News, Bartiromo complained that the media had focused on the former president's comments about "the enemy from within" after she interviewed him a week earlier.

At the conclusion of a combative interview with House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), CNN's Jake Tapper ended the 15-minute segment with a not-too-subtle potshot at the senior Republican official.

The "State of the Union" host was repeatedly rebuffed by Johnson when he asked about Donald Trump's antics, including his speech in Pennsylvania where the Republican nominee for the presidency started off a Pennsylvania rally by rambling on for ten minutes about golfer Arnold Palmer's penis.

The exchange led the normally unflappable Johnson to snap at the CNN host and talk over him while asking to change the subject.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) threw an angry on-air fit Sunday after retired Gen. Mark Milley called former President Donald Trump "fascist to the core."

During an interview on Meet the Press, host Kristen Welker quoted the retired four-star general from a recent Bob Woodward book.

Former New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu, a surrogate for Donald Trump, insisted that presidential "character" should not be a "top priority" for voters.

During an interview on Sunday, ABC host Martha Raddatz reminded Sununu that he had initially endorsed former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley for president.

An attempt by CNN's Jake Tapper to get a reaction from House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) on Donald Trump's vulgar storytelling at a Pennsylvania rally on Saturday was first met with bluster and then anger on Sunday morning.

Johnson was booked for "State of the Union" long before Trump spent over ten minutes regaling his rally crowd with a story about golfer Arnold Palmer's genitalia.

Confronted with Trump's vulgar story, Johnson instead spent his time attacking Vice President Kamala Harris until Tapper brought him back by asking about the appropriateness of Trump talking about the golfer's penis.

Two hecklers complained to Fox News after they were escorted from Vice President Kamala Harris' rally in Wisconsin on Thursday.

Luke Polaske and Grant Beth told Fox News on Sunday that they attended the rally at the La Crosse Recreational Eagle Center because God told them to. The two men were asked to leave the rally after they interrupted Harris by yelling "Christ is king" and "Jesus is Lord" in response to her position on abortion rights.

Reacting to a clip of Donald Trump regaling a Pennsylvania crowd with a story about legendary golfer Arnold Palmer's genitalia to kick off a rally on Saturday, a fuming Michael Steele expressed his disgust with not only the former president but also the rally attendees who were eating up his vulgar tale.

On MSNBC's "The Weekend" the entire panel looked on in dismay as the clip ran and it was co-host and former RNC chair Michael Steele who put into words what they all seemed to be thinking.

Momentarily at a loss for words, he finally admitted, "I'm actually stunned that this is what our country is doing right now."

He then continued, "You have the Republican nominee for the presidency of the United States standing on stage at a rally, not talking about the economy, not talking about creating jobs for the next generation, not talking about providing health care or even dealing with the intractable issues around climate. No – talking about a man's genitalia."

"But this is the part that is the most disturbing," he elaborated. "The people behind him who are laughing and yucking it up and thinking that is good political discourse and that is what the next president of the United States should spend his time talking about."

"They weren't offended, they were amused," he accused. "And that's the rub with Donald Trump. It's all about the amusements, all about the entertainment and yucking it up and dumbing you down enough to be stupid enough to buy into these narratives about other people, about our country, and about another man's genitalia."
