The question of how controversial conservative gadfly Scott Jennings landed his high-paying gig on CNN may have been answered by one of his former students.

Jennings, who is reportedly being eyed by White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles to replace the equally controversial Karoline Leavitt, has become a flashpoint for the network due to his abrasive and condescending appearances, which have led some female guests to balk at appearing with him.

A much-anticipated but minimally viewed reality show starring a member of President Donald Trump's cabinet was subjected to a scathing review on CNN Thursday morning.

Any hope that Vice President JD Vance may have harbored about replacing President Donald Trump in the Oval Office suffered a devastating setback on Thursday morning.

A Georgia Democrat's snarky quips about President Donald Trump's human "binkie" Natalie Harp are providing Democrats a blueprint to potentially reclaim the House, the Senate, and even the White House, CNN political analysts argued Thursday.
