"The View" began talking about the retirement of Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) — and the audience broke into cheers and applause.

"The other big news out of D.C. yesterday was that the longest serving party leader in Senate history, Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, announced it's time for him to go," Whoopi Goldberg said.

Conservative podcast host Steve Bannon took a shot at Donald Trump's legal team, including Alina Habba, after the former president failed to come up with more than $400 million to pay a cash bond in his New York fraud case.

Bannon reacted Thursday after lawyers for Trump asked to stay Justice Arthur Engoron's decision ordering the billionaire to pay a $454.2 million judgment in a fraud case brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James.

CNN polling expert Harry Enten said on Thursday that there's a good reason for Republicans to run away from the Alabama State Supreme Court's ruling that frozen embryos are fully developed children.

Breaking down a new poll on the subject of reproductive rights, Enten explained that the court's declaration that clinics that dispose of frozen embryos could potentially face wrongful death lawsuits was wildly unpopular with voters.

Republicans seemed to be caught off guard by Hunter Biden's preparation and discipline during a grueling, closed-door deposition.

President Joe Biden's son appeared Wednesday before the Oversight and Judiciary committees to discuss his foreign business dealings, which have become the focus of an impeachment inquiry, but Washington Post reporter Jackie Alemany told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" that Republicans failed to rattle him, as they perhaps intended.

The U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear arguments in Donald Trump's broad claim of presidential immunity, and that decision put his federal election subversion case "on life support" – even if the justices ultimately rule against him.

The court will hear arguments April 22, with a ruling expected in late June, and that timeline could forestall his trials in the Mar-a-Lago classified documents trial in Florida and the Jan. 6 case in Washington, D.C., although MSNBC legal analyst Andrew Weissmann told "Morning Joe" he doesn't believe Trump will win his appeal but he doesn't think that will ultimately matter.

Former President Donald Trump will appeal his $450 million disgorgement judgement in the New York civil fraud case, but biographer Tim O'Brien believes he has little chance of success and that he has no one to blame but himself.

"He's arrived in this place because he and his lawyers decided fairly early on to try to beat up the judge in this case," he said during an appearance on MSNBC Wednesday night. "And the judge came down with a very hard penalty; and Trump's in a corner."
