Former Republican strategist turned Lincoln Project co-founder Rick Wilson laid out his thoughts on the Democratic National Convention in Chicago on a new podcast — and he had effusive praise for the whole affair, feeling confident that Democrats have at last internalized the messages he and his fellow strategists have repeated for years.

The key takeaway, he said: This is "not your father's Democratic Party."

Rep. Mike Waltz (R-FL) was furious that Democrats claimed the mantle of patriotism during this week's convention.

Delegates wore red-white-and-blue attire and attendees waved flags and chanted "U-S-A" as speakers touted their patriotism and service to the nation, but the Florida Republican insisted to CNN's Dana Bash that was all for show and that Donald Trump's party loved their country more.

Democratic political operative David Axelrod on Friday argued that former President Donald Trump was deeply rattled by what he saw from Vice President Kamala Harris at this week's Democratic National Convention.

Appearing on CNN, Axelrod said that Harris had surprised him by being a much stronger political candidate than she had been back in 2020, when the massive anti-police brutality protests that erupted in the wake of George Floyd's killing made her reluctant to talk about her background as a prosecutor.

A Republican operative was on the receiving end of a detailed rebuttal on CNN Friday after he launched into a rant aimed at Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris.

Appearing on CNN with host Jim Acosta and regular commentator, Democratic Party strategist Maria Cardona, Lance Trover, who served as a spokesperson for Republican Gov. Doug Burgum's short presidential campaign, criticized Harris of continued failures at the southern border while acting as President Joe Biden's "Border Czar" — a title she has never held but which has nonetheless become a far-right talking point

Former Fox News and Newsmax host Eric Bolling on Friday had a full-blown freak out about the state of the 2024 presidential race.

In a video flagged by former federal and state prosecutor Ron Filipkowski, Bolling offered a candid opinion of the current election, which he warned was slipping from former President Donald Trump's grasp. Filipkowski referred to the statement as an "epic rant."
