Republican Rep. Nancy Mace (SC) found herself in a tense exchange with CNN host Brianna Keilar on Friday during discussions over Joe Biden's cognitive ability, her support of former President Donald Trump, and "post-birth" abortions.

Mace hit out at a Biden, saying there's "no way" people in the center will support the current president in his bid for re-election. She also levied an accusation that Biden isn't actually running the country.

CNN host Jim Acosta cut off a supporter of Donald Trump on Friday morning when the former Trump campaign adviser refused to answer questions about the ex-president's deluge of lies in Thursday night's presidential debate.

Sitting down with conservative Bryan Lanza, Acosta confronted him with Trump making claims about Jan. 6 and abortion that were flat-out untrue only to have Lanza complain that the press is covering for Biden's poor debate performance.

"Why does Trump keep saying that Democrats want to execute babies after birth?" Acosta pressed. "That's a lie. That's not true."

"I think what you have to have the conversation with the campaign to see whether it's a lie," Lanza parried. "I think the most important thing that I walked away from the abortion conversation last night was that President Trump was proud of nominating Supreme Court justices who did overturn Roe v Wade and returned it to the states, which is where the American public has wanted it for a significant amount of time."

"Now, sure CNN can sort of cover —and MSNBC can try to sort of focus on the lies..." he continued only to have Acosta to cut him off with, "Don't go after, don't talk about the press, come on. He lied over and over again."

As Lanza attempted to talk over the CNN anchor, Acosta continued, "No. Bryan, he said the January 6 defendants are quote 'so innocent.' Correct? These are people who are criminals."

"They stormed the Capitol. They broke the law that would've never happened had Donald Trump just accepted the results of the 2020 election. And you know that." Acosta lectured him.

"Sure, but what have the voters decided on that?" Lanza replied without answering the question. "The voters decided that is not their priority when they vote in this election."

"Republican voters decided that," Acosta corrected him.

"He's winning independent voters and he's winning the general election in swing states so all voters at this particular point made the decision that January 6 is not relevant to their lives," he attempted.

In a landmark case, the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that the so-called Chevron doctrine would be overturned.

It is a 40-year standard that the conservative court eliminated with a 6-2 decision, in which Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson recused herself.

The U.S. Supreme Court voted 6-3 to allow an Oregon city to target homeless people for sleeping on public property.

The ruling handed down Friday overturns a 2022 decision by 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, with the court's conservatives finding that the measures enacted by Grants Pass city officials do not violate the Constitution's Eighth Amendment banning cruel and unusual punishment, reported NBC News.

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro on Friday took a shot at CNN for not doing more to counter the slew of falsehoods spouted by former President Donald Trump in real time.

During an interview with CNN's John Berman, Shapiro was asked repeatedly if he still had confidence in President Joe Biden after his widely criticized debate performance on Thursday night.

Taking a break from talking about President Joe Biden's poor debate performance on Thursday night, the "Morning Joe" crew on MSNBC pressed former U.S. Attorney Joyce Vance on what is happening in Judge Aileen Cannon's courtroom and why the Donald Trump trial has yet to begin.

According to the former prosecutor, Cannon is engaged in needless stalling likely because she doesn't want to have her conduct scrutinized by the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals.

"She's got motions that have been fully briefed and argued in front of her. One of them is the prosecution's motion to change Donald Trump's conditions of pretrial release, so that he can't continue to spread this lie that he's been perpetuating, saying the FBI was trying to assassinate him when they executed the search warrant at Mar-a-Lago," Vance began. "Even Trump's own lawyer was forced to concede in court this week that that simply wasn't the case."

"Look, the judge has plenty of information in front of her," she later added. "The job that every federal judge has and every state court judge has is to make a decision; she seems to be incapable of doing that, perhaps because, at least in this matter, as soon as she does, the party that loses will take her decision to the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals for appellate review."

"She seems to be very shy about letting any more of her decisions go there," Vance suggested. "She's had two very bad outings in front of that court."

MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski challenged Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro to defend president Joe Biden's debate performance in a contentious morning-after interview.

The Democratic governor, who's been floated as a future presidential candidate himself, appeared Friday on "Morning Joe" to praise Biden's accomplishments as president and express support for his re-election, but Brzezinski pressed him to say the 81-year-old president was the best option to take on Donald Trump's threat to democracy.

Democrats are "freaking out" at the highest levels about president Joe Biden's debate performance, according to MSNBC's John Heilemann, and may have engaged in some difficult discussions about how to move forward without him as the party's nominee.

Voters have expressed concern about the 81-year-old president's age, and numerous Democrats expressed alarm at Biden's notable lack of vigor and inability to challenge Donald Trump's steady stream of falsehoods and low blows, and Heilemann revealed that party leadership are considering their options.
