Georgia's primary election Tuesday secured for President Joe Biden enough delegates to win the Democratic nomination but showed signs of trouble ahead for former President Donald Trump, experts said.

Trump easily secured the state with 84.3 of the vote as of 10 p.m. but he was barely above 50 percent in the Atlanta-area Fulton and DeKalb counties, according to New York Times projections.

Donald Trump is losing the money race against President Joe Biden and it could cost him the 2024 presidential election, according to the former President's onetime Communications director.

Alyssa Farah Griffin, Trump's former White House communications director, took to the air waves Tuesday as Biden secured the Democratic nomination. She argued the 45th president has political momentum ahead of the Nov. 5 election but is trailing far behind Biden when it comes to fattening up his coffers.

Donald Trump's installation of loyalists at the Republican National Committee and the subsequent staffer purge served as a trial run for what the former president plans to do next, says GOP strategist and Republican Accountability Project leader Sarah Longwell.

Longwell appeared on MSNBC Tuesday night to discuss with host Chris Hayes Trump's plans for the civil service if reelected to the White House in 2025 one day after a reported RNC "bloodbath" saw 60 officials get the ax.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) took to X on Tuesday to boast of his meeting with the leader of Poland, a key U.S. NATO ally, President Andrzej Duda, and sparked almost immediate backlash.

"I was proud to host President Duda and the delegation from Poland in the Capitol to express Congress’ continued appreciation for the strong relationship between our two countries," wrote Johnson. "As host to 10,000 American troops and one of America’s key NATO allies, Poland is a strategic partner in promoting a free and prosperous future and in advocating for greater defense spending by our European partners. In an increasingly dangerous world with growing threats, America must remain united with our friends against those who threaten our security."

Former President Donald Trump's "weird" new filing in his New York City hush money case has a big problem at the heart of its argument, according to MSNBC legal analyst Lisa Rubin: it misrepresents rulings from the trial of convicted crypto fraudster Sam Bankman-Fried.

Trump Monday filed notice to New York City judge Juan Merchan — overseeing Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's falsifying business records case — that he plans to present a quasi advice-of-counsel defense, court records show.

The head of former President Donald Trump's Secret Service detail notified him that some members of the crowd at his Jan. 6 "Stop the Steal" rally were carrying prohibited items, his driver testified to Congress.

According to Politico, "The driver, who remains unidentified, drove Trump to and from his rally at the Ellipse on Jan. 6. After the rally, Trump’s supporters — riled up by his fervid speech — marched down the street, where Congress was attempting to certify the results of the 2020 election. The driver described Trump’s exchange that day with his lead Secret Service agent, Robert Engel, in testimony he gave in November 2022 to the House Jan. 6 select committee."

The judge presiding over former President Donald Trump's Georgia election racketeering case expects to issue his ruling on calls to disqualify Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis this week, he said in an interview.

"I gave myself a deadline because I knew everyone wanted an answer. And I’ll tell you that an order like this takes time to write,” Fulton County Judge Scott McAfee said in an interview with "The Shelley Wynter Show."

Lin Wood, the Georgia lawyer who peddled former President Donald Trump's false election fraud claims, has lost a defamation suit from three former colleagues he painted as "deep state" extortionists, court records and reports show.

Former partners Nicole Wade, Jonathan Grunberg, and Taylor Wilson came out on top in their Georgia federal civil court case in which they accused Wood of leaving them vulnerable to physical threats, according to a new ruling filed Tuesday and a Law360 report.

Dozens of House Republicans plan to skip an upcoming GOP retreat, saying the location — and some of the attendees — are less than desirable, according to a new report. Those reported grumblings signal tensions within the party are still high in the wake of former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy's ouster.

According to CNN, fewer than 100 Republicans have RSVP’d for the event this Wednesday and Thursday, which amount to less than half of the Republican conference.

Former President Donald Trump has filed a motion in his hush money case that one legal expert is calling "weird."

Trump's Monday filing in New York City criminal court — where he stands accused of falsifying business records to pay off Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 presidential election — shows he plans to present an advice-of-counsel defense, court records show.

Jon Stewart found the one moment in Sen. Katie Britt's repeatedly ridiculed rebuttal to President Joe Biden's State of the Union address he felt had not been ridiculed enough.

"Who smiles," asked Stewart on the Daily Show Monday, "when they say the line 'steeped in the blood of patriots'?"

A conservative YouTuber challenging Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-TX) — whom he accuses of being insufficiently far right — could soon face serious backlash from the MAGA base over newly surfaced insults he levied against former President Donald Trump's teenage son.

The Daily Beast reported Monday night that GOP challenger Brandon Herrera last month relentlessly mocked Trump's 17-year-old son Barron.

The MAGA firebrand who presents himself as a crusader against the federal government's "reckless spending" leads his peers in the House of Representatives when it comes to office expenses, according to a new analysis.

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) was reimbursed for nearly $43,800 in office expenses in 2023, according to a Legistorm report filed Tuesday.
