The Republican National Convention is trying to pass off a billionaire as an "everyday American," their Thursday schedule reads.

RealClear Politics reporter Philip Melanchthon Wegmann posted the Thursday schedule to the social media site X, where he singled out RNC speaker Diane Hendricks as worthy of note.

Donald Trump's granddaughter appeared at the Republican National Convention, where she claimed that all of the negative stories people have heard about him were wrong and that he was really a very humane and caring man.

On Thursday morning, "The View's" Whoopi Goldberg encouraged viewers not to "fall for it."

Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed Donald Trump's documents case this week, leading some to believe that the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals would swoop in and not only reinstate the case, but remove Cannon from overseeing it.

CNN legal reporter Tierney Sneed consulted with "a lawyer who literally wrote a book on the 11th Circuit criminal jurisprudence," and she she wrote on X the chances of removing Cannon from the case were slim.

Months after Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) threatened to fight Teamsters Union chief Sean O'Brien during a November Senate hearing, the two men have become more than good buddies.

Mullin told CNN Wednesday that a friendship blossomed after former President Donald Trump called months ago and asked the two men to "meet."

Eric Trump is now changing his story about the injury his father suffered in an assassination attempt.

Speaking to Forbes at the Republican National Convention Monday, Trump's son said, "Well, it's been a pretty somber mood, right? I mean, my father got shot at. Somebody took off half of his ear."

After the Saturday attack on Donald Trump, the U.S. Secret Service is releasing information about the ongoing threats against the ex-president.

Among the information uncovered by Bloomberg through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request is that there have been dozens of security breaches at Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort.

It has been four days since Donald Trump came inches from death after a failed assassination attempt, and the campaign still hasn't released any kind of medical report talking about the injuries.

While Washington is at work trying to uncover failures by the U.S. Secret Service on Saturday, the ex-president is walking around the Republican Convention with a giant pad of gauze and tape covering his ear.

Editor's note: An earlier version of this article failed to note that the 2024 Republican National Convention ratings were up slightly from 2020, despite being down markedly from 2016. It also attributed a claim to Biden's campaign that was actually made by Biden supporters.

Notorious critics of former President Donald Trump Lawrence O'Donnell and Rachel Maddow of MSNBC sniped at the Republican National Convention's first day ratings Tuesday, though their claims were misleading if not false.

The Democratic National Committee will no longer try to nominate President Joe Biden on an accelerated timeline.

Although the Democratic National Committee had decided to hold a virtual vote on July 21 to nominate Biden, many Democrats who are pushing for a new nominee protested and claimed that this move was an attempt to rush through the process without giving consideration to a potential new candidate.

President Joe Biden intends to announce a landmark Supreme Court reform package that includes "enforceable ethics reform."

Biden has previously opposed making sweeping changes to the High Court, but the Washington Post reported Tuesday that the proposal would suggest term limits.

Rep. Dan Goldman (D-N.Y.) blasted Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) for being another far-right MAGA loyalist added to a presidential ticket while purporting to be moderate.

Speaking on MSNBC Tuesday, Goldman said that Donald Trump's new running mate is "the baby of MAGA and QAnon."
