Nikki Haley

Donald Trump's indictment in a Manhattan courtroom should have been a happy moment for potential challengers for the Republican Party 2024 presidential nomination, but instead it has knocked reporting on their fledgling campaigns out of the news and now they're in a panic.

According to a report from Politico, the wall-to-wall coverage of the former president's legal travails is "sucking all of the oxygen" out of the room, leading campaign consultants and conservatives who want Trump sidelined to believe the former president will ride his ability to dominate the headlines to a third GOP nomination.

So far, only three Republicans have officially entered the 2024 GOP presidential primary: former President Donald Trump, Nikki Haley (former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations) and former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson. But if Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis enters the race — which appears likely — the primary is expected to become mainly a battle between Trump and DeSantis.

The Florida governor has recently had a lot to say about the U.S. Federal Reserve. And according to Steve Benen — producer of "The Rachel Maddow Show" on MSNBC and editor of MaddowBlog on MSNBC's website — he has been pushing a bizarre Fed-related "conspiracy theory."

A front-runner facing felony charges along with three other criminal investigations and several lawsuits would be a deal-breaker for almost any candidate in normal times.

But if the indictment of former President Donald Trump on 34 felonies in connection with alleged hush money payments to Stormy Daniels is any indication, these aren’t normal times.

A new report from Variety claims that CNN morning host Don Lemon has a lengthy history of toxic behavior that includes what many former colleagues describe as misogynistic.

Lemon earlier this year got himself into trouble when he made a sexist remark about Republican presidential hopeful Nikki Haley appearing to be "past her prime" as a politician, despite the fact that she's significantly younger than both President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump.

With Donald Trump pulling away in the polls as the 2024 Republican Party candidate of choice among voters, Politico reports that sniping has begun between the also-ran GOP candidates who are trying to keep their hopes afloat and stay close in case he falters.

As Trump heads to Manhattan this week to be arraigned on charges contained in a sealed indictment handed to District Attorney Alvin Bragg by a grand jury, his rivals -- and potential rivals -- are attempting to get attention for the campaigns while he sucks up all the oxygen in the room.

In a panel discussion with legal analyst Jen Taub, reporter Brian Karem, former RNC staffer Kurt Bardella and Dr. Mary Trump, the group reacted to the news that former President Donald Trump was indicted by a Manhattan grand jury on Thursday.

Bardella explained that despite Trump's desperation to go after District Attorney Alvin Bragg, it was a majority of the grand jury who agreed that the evidence was such that it necessitated an indictment.

A new Quinnipiac poll is offering damning news to Donald Trump: The majority of Americans think he should not even be allowed to run for president if criminal charges are filed against him.

It was Hutchinson’s third trip to Iowa in 2023 and he’s hired a field organizer, indicating he’s likely to join the crowd of candidates seeking the 2024 Republican nomination. He said his events in March will help him solidify the final decisions heading into a potential presidential bid.

Hutchinson said he was looking at the visibility and finances of running a campaign in Iowa, but he said he’s not discouraged by the high-profile competition.

After speaking from the stage at Trump’s ominously timed 2024 campaign rally in Waco, Texas, Greene joined attorney and fellow MAGA zealot Christina Bobb on a Right Side Broadcasting livestream.

Here’s how it was reported by Mediate:

As former President Donald Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis — the latter of whom has not even formally declared his candidacy yet — increasingly duke it out for the 2024 presidential nomination, Republican candidates on the lower rungs are fighting to break through. And they are now gearing up to attack the two frontrunners themselves, POLITICO reported on Wednesday.

"Former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley and former Vice President Mike Pence have begun more aggressively criticizing positions held by Trump, and now DeSantis, on a range of foreign and domestic issues," reported Natalie Allison and Adam Wren. "They have been aided, their respective teams believe, by DeSantis’ decision to leave little daylight between himself and Trump on key topics, from the war in Ukraine to entitlement reform."
