Nikki Haley

A Florida contractor was sentenced to nearly a decade in prison and ordered to repay more than a dozen workers he forced into slavery.

Bladimir Moreno, a Bartow farm labor contractor, pleaded guilty Dec. 29 to conspiracy to commit forced labor and racketeering charges, after federal prosecutors said he recruited workers in Mexico, made them pay to work for Los Villatoros Harvesting and lied about their housing and pay once they arrived in Florida, reported the Miami Herald.

Democrats across America last year engaged in a controversial and oft-criticized strategy that involved prompting extreme MAGA candidates in Republican primaries in the hopes that they would be easier to defeat in general elections.

Many of these bets paid off, however, when candidates such as Doug Mastriano, Kari Lake, and J.R. Majewski all went down in defeat.

Former President Donald Trump understands something about Republicans and losing, according to one veteran GOP strategist -- and none of his challengers can match what he offers.

Nikki Haley officially entered the 2024 presidential race, and MSNBC's Joe Scarborough faulted her announcement for failing to sufficiently blame Trump for Republican Party losses, but campaign strategist Stuart Stevens said that wouldn't matter to GOP voters even if she had tarred him as a repeat loser.

Former President Donald Trump will not receive the 2024 Republican Party presidential nomination without a challenge.

Former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley has officially declared her candidacy for the presidency, despite having earlier pledged not to run in 2024 should Trump decide to throw his hat into the ring.

Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) is planning to launch a 2024 campaign for president, reported the Wall Street Journal on Monday.

"Mr. Scott, the only Black Republican in the Senate, is testing a message with GOP voters in key early states focused on unity and optimism as some Republicans say it is time to move on from the Trump era. Mr. Trump has announced a bid for president in the 2024 election," reported Eliza Collins. "Jennifer DeCasper, a Scott senior adviser, said he was 'excited to share his vision of hope and opportunity and hear the American people’s response.' What isn’t clear yet, some people close to Mr. Scott acknowledge, is whether the GOP base that enthusiastically embraced Mr. Trump is interested in that message."

Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley has yet to launch her bid to be the GOP's presidential nominee in 2024, but one former Republican Party campaign consultant is already writing an obituary not only for yet-to-begin campaign but for her political future.

In a brutal column tinged with regret for the New York Times, Stuart Stevens, who has worked on GOP campaigns for decades, said Haley's dalliance with Donald Trump has irreparably damaged her political prospects -- and she has only herself to blame.

Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley is reportedly planning to announce her bid for the 2024 Republican party nomination soon and, according to a report from Politico, she may find the party that has been reshaped by Donald Trump won't welcome her with open arms.

In fact, as Lauren Leader of All In Together wrote, despite her connection to the former president as his ambassador to the United Nations, her desire to be the Commander in Chief will likely be greeted with open hostility simply because she is a woman.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and several other Republicans who could potentially challenge former President Donald Trump for the 2024 Republican nomination have a possible liability in their past, reported Semafor on Tuesday: their past support for a controversial plan known as Fair Tax.

The proposal, kicked around in libertarian circles for decades, calls to abolish the IRS and replace all federal taxes with a 30 percent tax on retail sales and virtually all forms of private spending. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) promised his caucus' far-right flank that a bill to implement this proposal would get a committee vote as part of a deal to get him elected to the top job — but even he has made clear he doesn't support the idea. Even top GOP anti-tax lobbyist Grover Norquist has dismissed the proposal as "suicidal."

Donald Trump is trying to position himself as the anti-war candidate heading into the Republican primary campaign.

The former president has bashed President Joe Biden's handling of Afghanistan and Ukraine, where he vaguely insists he could achieve peace in 24 hours or less, and he has attacked would-be Republican rivals as "globalist" and "neo-conservative," reported Politico.

Republican Nikki Haley, former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations and ex-governor of South Carolina, is expected to formally announce her presidential run on Wednesday, February 15. This will make Haley the second candidate to officially enter the 2024 GOP presidential primary, although Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis appears to be gearing up to enter that primary as well.

According to Daily Beast reporters Jake Lahut and Zachary Petrizzo, former President Donald Trump and his allies are hoping to derail Haley’s campaign before it gains momentum. Trump was the first GOP candidate to officially announce his 2024 presidential run.

Conservative author Peter Wehner believes that the Republican Party will be better off in the long run with former President Donald Trump out of the picture -- but he thinks in the short term, Trump could decimate the GOP.

Writing in The Atlantic, Wehner outlines the "potentially catastrophic problem" the party could face if Trump is denied the nomination, as he could run a third-party candidacy that would doom Republicans' chances of reclaiming the White House.

Fox News contributor Mara Liasson refuted libertarian pundit Robby Soave after he claimed that letters to the Justice Department on behalf of Hunter Biden were endangering freedom of speech.

On Sunday's edition of the Media Buzz program, Soave complained about letters Biden's attorneys sent to the Justice Department to urge an investigation into the copying of his personal information. The letters named conservative media and personalities that disseminated information about a laptop allegedly belonging to Biden.
