'They're all begging me': Trump auditions potential 2024 running mates with Mar-A-Lago loyalty tests

Donald Trump is auditioning potential 2024 running mates through both public comments and private meetings, and he's less bound by political rules than the last time he chose Mike Pence to be his vice president.

A dozen Trump advisers and close associates told Politico the twice-impeached one-term president is prioritizing unquestioned personal loyalty and the embrace of his election fraud lies, although he's giving some consideration to balancing the ticket with a woman or candidate of color.

Nikki Haley gets pilloried for her glaring error and 'hypocrisy' in calling for politicians' cognitive tests

Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley (R) is facing criticism for her latest suggestion which suggests a glaring double standard. Speaking to Christian Broadcasting Network's David Brody, Haley was asked about 78-year-old President Joe Biden's mental health.

DC insider hints at surprising 'underdog' choice to replace Trump after GOP senator doubts he'll run again

In his new book, "In Trump's Shadow: The Battle for 2024 and the Future of the GOP," Washington D.C. journalist David Drucker takes a hard look at where the Republican Party is going and suggests who might be the contenders -- and who are the pretenders -- to replace Donald Trump as the GOP standard-bearer should he not run in 2024.

In Daniel Gullotta's review of the book for the conservative Bulwark, he notes remarks made by Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) in an interview with Axios where he expressed skepticism over Trump running and whether he should run, saying, "I don't know that. President Trump is the first president, in the Republican side at least, to lose the House, the Senate, and the presidency in four years. Elections are about winning," and that Drucker agrees.

Trump is blackmailing the GOP — but they can get out of it: columnist

The Republican Party has slowly surrendered to Donald Trump, who has cooked up a new blackmail scheme against the party he controls, according to an NBC News columnist.

The GOP didn't even bother to submit a national platform ahead of the 2020 election, instead saying the party's only priority was Trump's re-election, and the twice-impeached one-term president has issued a new threat to ensure Republicans remained focused on undoing that humiliating loss, according to a column by political scientist Seth Masket posted on NBC News.

A discussion on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" on comments made by Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA), who said he didn't see Donald Trump successfully winning the 2024 presidential election, led to an agreement by host Joe Scarborough and marketing expert Donny Deutsch that the GOP could reclaim the White House that year -- as long as Trump wasn't the Republican Party candidate.

'Roadkill': Conservative sticks a fork in Mike Pence and Nikki Haley's presidential chances

In his column for the Daily Beast, conservative Matt Lewis wrote the epitaphs for former Vice President Mike Pence and South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley (R), saying they might as well leave the national scene because neither will ever be president unless there is a major sea change among Republican voters in the wake of Donald Trump.

Noting that Pence and Haley have been making prominent appearances in the past two weeks as they set the stage for jumping into the 2024 GOP presidential primary, Lewis said they're wavering on Donald Trump -- at one moment disavowing him, the next embracing Trumpism -- isn't fooling the hardcore GOP voters they would need to be successful.
