Fox News host Maria Bartiromo and Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) argued that former President Barack Obama was controlling Democratic officials through an earpiece.

During a Sunday interview on Fox News, Bartiromo wondered who was "running the country while Kamala Harris is out campaigning."

In the midst of a wide-ranging interview with Sen. Lindsey Graham, CNN "State of the Union" host Jake Tapper blindsided the South Carolina Republican with a clip of Donald Trump telling a CBS reporter he doesn't listen to Graham's advice.

Brought on to talk about the current presidential campaign pitting Trump against Vice President Kamala Harris, host Tapper first pointed out that Graham has lightly criticized the former president for centering his campaign on personal attacks on Harris instead of addressing policy differences.

Republican vice presidential nominee J.D. Vance suggested "childless cat ladies" were to blame for being offended after he attacked them in a recent interview.

In an interview with NBC that aired on Sunday, host Kristen Welker asked Vance if he regretted lashing out at "childless cat ladies" in an interview with Fox News.

On Sunday morning Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) called out CNN host Jake Tapper for ridiculing Vice President Kamala Harris and Democrats for saying the country would start a new chapter if she becomes president in November.

On CNN's "State of the Union," the host pointed to comments made at the convention and pointed to former president Barack Obama stating," America is ready for a new chapter" as he endorsed Harris

"I mean, she's the incumbent vice president," Tapper remarked. "Democrats have controlled the White House for 12 of the last 16 years. How can Democrats talk about a new chapter, turning the page, you guys are the ones writing the book?"

"Well, you know that that's not true, Jake, because you know politics like I do," Booker shot back. "Right now, we see the MAGA Republicans in Congress killing all kinds of pragmatic policies that we need to get done on the most contentious issues."

"We had a bipartisan deal settled on by Senator James Lankford (R-OK), a right-wing Republican and Sen. Chris Murphy, a blue state Democrat and what killed that deal, what killed that pragmatic progress wasn't the sensible Republicans, but really people who were kowtowing to Donald Trump. His influence is egregious and incredible."

Trump 2024 campaign advisor Corey Lewandowski said Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s endorsement of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump was an "amazing success" even though the former Democrat "feels very hurt" about the process.

Lewandowski was asked about Kennedy's endorsement during a Sunday interview on Fox & Friends.

Donald Trump's inability to lay off the personal attacks on Vice President Kamala Harris could end up being a central reason he might falter in his bid to be re-elected in November.

That is opinion of popular commentator Kara Swisher who took part in a panel on CNN with host Chris Wallace on Saturday.

While covering a wide range of topics, Wallace — formerly a longtime host on Fox News — asked his guest, "Kara, are Trump's personal attacks undercutting, at the same time, he's trying to make an argument about her on policy?"

"Yes, keep them coming, he looks like an idiot when he's doing them," Swisher replied. "Honestly, it's just he can't help himself and he doesn't know how to deal with her."

"It's really interesting to watch him trying to formulate an attack and it has to be personal," she continued. "And the other part is, I know this sounds crazy, but he talks about her looks a lot and everything with Trump is looks and it's creepy. And he's he thinks she's pretty and beautiful and he doesn't know what to do. "

During an appearance on HBO's "Real Time" on Friday night, longtime Democratic strategist James Carville offered some blunt advice to a Republican lawmaker on what the future holds for his party if Donald Trump remains a black cloud over the GOP.

During the "Real Time Overtime" segment posted to YouTube, the folksy and uncensored Carville spoke directly to Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX), an occasional Trump critic, and stated that he better hope the former president loses in a landslide in November because it will benefit the GOP.

"If I'm one of you, I want Trump to get beat bad," Carville began. "I'm talking about a '64, '72 wipeout."

Elaborating, he continued, "You know what happened after Republicans got wiped out in 1964? They won in '68. You know what happened after the Democrats got wiped out in '72? They won in '76."

"If Harris gets 280 Electoral College votes, your party is f----d, "He blurted while the Real Time crowd burst into laughter and applause as he added, "You want a wipeout."

An attempt by a Republican House member to downplay Donald Trump's attempt to subvert the 2020 presidential election that led to a riot at the Capitol led to a tongue-lashing from "Real Time" host Bill Maher on Friday night.

In the online-only "Overtime" segment featuring the host, Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) Democratic strategist James Carville, and CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins, the subject of Trump's possible refusal to accept a possible loss in November led to a talking about the 2020 insurrection.

After Crenshaw was asked by the host what Trump will do if he loses in November, Crenshaw conceded the former president did lose in 2020 before glibly offering, "I know the history of it and the history of it was he moved out of the White House. It was a peaceful transition of power and there was an inauguration."

Sitting in on a panel of conservatives who have abandoned the Republican Party due to the dominance of Donald Trump, one former GOP campaign adviser suggested the only way to save her former party is to destroy it and rebuild it again from the ashes.

Appearing on MSNBC's "The Weekend," Tara Setmayer explained that she can't even attend conservative events anymore due to the overt hostility she faces because she does not support Trump's takeover of the Republican Party.

Speaking with the hosts, she claimed the GOP as it is currently run is no longer salvageable.

Pointing out the stunning number of former Trump officials who have gone public and said, "If you care about truth, democracy, and decency, if you care about these things that are institutions, you cannot vote for this man," Setmayer claimed the very fact Republicans are still lining up behind the former president is untenable.

"I'm sorry, the party needs to burn to the ground and start anew," she claimed. "If something comes out of the ashes, I will be the first one there, someone right at the center to help build it up, because we need the difference in opinions on policy."

"This is not an election about policy," she continued. "It is an election about character. It is an election about how you want this country to look, and who you want to lead it. For women, it is an election that is literally life or death for us."

Executives at the property management software company RealPage claimed they had the "greater good" in mind when they offered corporate landlords a price-fixing algorithm service, said the U.S. Department of Justice as it filed a lawsuit Friday against the firm—but the scheme allegedly drove rental costs up in communities across the country, contributing to the housing crisis.

The antitrust lawsuit, filed with attorneys general from states including California and Colorado, accused RealPage of using confidential data about its clients to algorithmically determine the highest price renters would pay, using its AI software.
