Mercedes Schlapp, the host of the Conservative Political Action Conference, or CPAC, seemed stunned after her audience declined to boo former President Joe Biden.

During a conversation with border czar Tom Homan on Thursday, Schlapp asked the Trump official to "compare the Biden years."

CNN's Donie O'Sullivan talked to one attendee at the Conservative Political Action Conference, or CPAC, who slammed President Donald Trump over his war in Iran.

"I'm at CPAC in Dallas," O'Sullivan explained on Thursday. "It's the biggest conservative conference in the country. And lots of people here are talking about the war in Iran. Trump is not speaking at this event this year."

In an interview with MS NOW’s Rosa Flores, two women attending the Conservative Political Action Conference, or CPAC, claimed they first resisted Donald Trump’s war on Iran and have now come around to his point of view.

But they later added that Barron Trump should serve in the military if the president puts boots on the ground.

Donald Trump’s decision to skip an appearance at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) this year, combined with his plummeting approval numbers, appears to be having an attendance impact.

Reporting from Grapevine, Texas, at the Gaylord Texan Resort and Convention Center, MS NOW’s Rosa Flores found plenty of booths selling pro-MAGA merchandise — and few takers in the hallways.

President Donald Trump faced backlash after he said he didn't want "a stupid person being president."

While speaking at a Thursday Cabinet meeting, the president attacked California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) for admitting he had dyslexia in a recent interview.

During a discussion on the multiple crises that Donald Trump’s White House is facing, MS NOW’s Jonathan Lemire pointed out that there are questions about the president’s ability to understand that his war in Iran is not going as well as he appears to think it is.

With the panel pointing out the high cost of gas for Americans due to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, combined with chaos in US airports because the president is holding up legislation that pays TSA agents, Lemire suggested the president may be overwhelmed.

CNN's Audie Cornish clashed with a Republican congressman over his characterization of President Donald Trump's war in Iran.

Rep. Cory Mills (R-FL) appeared Thursday on "CNN This Morning," where Cornish asked him comment on a vow to oppose further funding for the Iran war by Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC), who had asked House GOP leadership four months ago to strip Mills of his committee assignments over domestic assault allegations.

CNN's Audie Cornish guffawed at a panelist's observation about the White House turning down an offer by Elon Musk's offer to help end the funding impasse for the Department of Homeland Security.

The DHS has been partially shut down for five weeks, resulting in hours-long waits at airports as unpaid Transportation Security Administration workers walk off the job or call in sick. But Republicans have been unwilling to make changes sought by Democrats to reform Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations following a pair of fatal shootings earlier this year in Minnesota.

The decision by the Republican congressional leadership to create and award Donald Trump the first-ever “America First Award” at a National Republican Congressional Committee fundraiser left the panel on “Morning Joe” both amused and baffled on Thursday morning.

The MS NOW segment began with a clip of House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) telling attendees, “We're going to honor him with a new award that we will present annually from this point forward. But he is the suitable and fitting recipient of the first-ever America First award. We can think of no better title for what that is. That's this beautiful golden statue here, appropriate for the new golden era in America.”
