MAGA factions 'fighting for control' as Trump 'smells like a lame duck': former RNC spox

Former Vice President Mike Pence's think tank, Advancing American Freedom (AAF) has lately been poaching officials from the conservative Heritage Foundation. However, Tim Miller — a former spokesman for the Republican National Committee — is predicting the fight will not be between Pence and extremist MAGA, but between two MAGA extremes.

AAF is providing a landing pad for former Heritage members in the wake of a mass departure over the role of right-wing influencers promoting antisemitic or racist views and other extremist ideas.

'Crude opportunist' Vance will turn on Trump to save presidential bid: analyst

Vice President JD Vance could be building up the nerve to turn on Donald Trump and save his 2028 presidential bid, a political analyst has claimed.

Vance has found himself crumbling in the polling, according to The Guardian's Simon Tisdall, who notes that the vice president has been backing Trump. But doing so has been a detriment to his own projections of being the next President of the United States, Tisdall claims, and Vance may soon hit his breaking point.
