St. Louis Post-Dispatch columnist Janet Y. Jackson is questioning how young people of color could consider joining Donald Trump's 2024 campaign.

Writing Sunday, the Black columnist explained that young voters never fully experienced the world that Trump wants to usher back into the United States. While some are out celebrating, Jackson explained she's injured her foot and is stuck at home instead of dancing.

Christina Bobb, an attorney for former President Donald Trump, doesn't want voters "thinking he's got all these legal problems."

During a Sunday interview on Newsmax, Bobb was asked if Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows should be punished after she declared Trump ineligible for the ballot because he participated in an insurrection on Jan. 6, 2021.

On her last show of the year, MSNBC host Jen Psaki called out Donald Trump supporters who are going into the new year — and the 2024 presidential election — attempting to downplay or “rewrite” what happened on Jan. 6 when mobs of Trump supporters stormed the Capitol and tried to overturn the 2020 presidential election results.

Sharing clips of lawmakers like Senators Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Mitch McConnell (R-KY) earlier taking to the Senate floor to express their disgust about the day lawmakers had to flee for their lives, the former White house press secretary compared them to recent comments by House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) and Vivek Ramaswamy, who recently called the insurrection an “inside job.”

Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) used a Fox News appearance to smear her former fiancé for alleged infidelity.

Fox News host Howard Kurtz broached the subject of Mace's recent break-up in an interview that aired on Sunday.

During an appearance on MSNBC on Sunday, former Rep. Joe Walsh (R-IL) expressed his extreme dismay with the state of the Republican Party that he has abandoned as he fretted that Donald Trump may once again be elected.

Speaking with host Charles Coleman Jr, the conservative commentator finally exploded with, "Wake the hell up, America!"

With copanelist, GOP strategist Rina Shah, explaining, the GOP needs to get "better people running" to halt the spread of MAGA Republicans and the former president. Walsh jumped in to say the GOP as he knew it will never come back.

"I love Rina, but it's too late," he began before snapping, "Wake the hell up, America!"

Emphasizing, "This is the Republican party," he continued. "I am a hardcore conservative but I opposed Trump. I could never, ever get elected as a Republican again. This is what this party is. It is not going to change, it must be defeated — end of story."

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) faced backlash on Sunday after she joked about the last day of 2023.

In a social media post, Greene simply shared the number "123123." Presumably, the post was a play on the date of 12/31/23.

Fox News contributors Juan Williams and Mollie Hemingway clashed on Sunday over efforts to remove Donald Trump from the presidential ballot in several states.

During a panel discussion on Fox News Sunday, Williams defended Colorado and Maine for moving to remove Trump's name from the ballot because he participated in an insurrection on Jan. 6.

Sarah Matthews, a former Trump deputy press secretary, explained that former officials in the Trump administration don't speak out about Jan. 6 because they fear death threats.

In a year-end interview, ABC's Jonathan Karl sat down with former Trump officials Alyssa Farah Griffin, Cassidy Hutchinson, and Sarah Matthews to ask about their cooperation with the Jan. 6 Committee.

Former President Donald Trump will be kicking off the new year with a "commit to caucus" campaign rally in Newton, Iowa on a historically significant date: January 6.

In an interview with the Daily Beast, Jasper County, Iowa Republican Party chairman Thad Nearmyer — a 52-year-old livestock farmer — said the date of the rally may very well be a nod to the deadly insurrection at the US Capitol that resulted in nine deaths and hundreds of injuries of US Capitol and DC Metropolitan police officers.

During an appearance on MSNBC on Sunday morning, former prosecutor Glenn Kirschner made a point of making Justice Neal Gorsuch the center of a discussion on whether the Supreme Court will rule that Donald Trump is eligible to be on the ballot in 2024 based upon what the 14th Amendment to the Constitution says about insurrection.

Speaking with host Michael Steele, Kirschner read from a previous ruling Gorsuch authored before he joined the nation's highest court.

"I think they [the Supreme Court] probably recognize that time is of the essence," he told the host. "This is something that has to be decided urgently as we move toward primary elections in the various states. I agree with Barb [McQuade] that the Supreme Court will inevitably take this up for review."

"Here's something fun to keep an eye out for, Michael," he added. "I think what we need to keep an eye out for is whether Justice Neil Gorsuch, agrees with Judge Neil Gorsuch with respect to how to resolve this issue. Frankly, my favorite part of the Supreme Court ruling in Colorado was when they quoted Judge Neil Gorsuch. About ten years ago he had to resolve this precise issue whether states can keep would-be candidates off their primary ballots because the candidate was disqualified under some provision of the constitution."

"Here's what Judge Neil Gorsuch wrote: A state's legitimate interest in protecting the integrity and practical functioning of the political process permits it, permits the state to exclude from the ballot candidates who are constitutionally prohibited from assuming office,'" Kirschner read before adding, "So, Judge Gorsuch is sort of 90 percent of the way there, already ruling that states have this authority. Let's see if Justice Gorsuch agrees with himself from ten years earlier."

Appearing on MSNBC, former U.S. Attorney Carol Lam stated she didn't see the Supreme Court interested in stepping into the fight between Donald Trump and his lawyers with special counsel Jack Smith over whether the former president has wide-ranging immunity from being charged with crimes.

Reacting to a filing made by Smith on Saturday outlining the types of crimes a blanket immunity ruling could cover, Lam told MSNBC host Paola Ramos that she thinks the nation's highest court will let the D.C. Court of Appeals have the final word.

"What I think the Supreme Court may be thinking is, we are going to let the appellate court consider the issue first, and they've set a very expedited briefing and argument schedule for this," she began. "They're going to hear this argument in mid-January. So, if the Supreme Court or the majority of the Supreme Court fundamentally agrees with whatever the D.C. Circuit says, they may just decide not to take the case up in the Supreme Court, and just let the District of Columbia Appeals Court opinion stand."

"That way the Supreme Court will not have to actually render the ultimate decision on this case; they can just decline to take the case up and then they can leave for another day, deciding this particular issue as to the scope of presidential immunity," she continued. "But I do think that Jack Smith has the better argument because he's raised a number of potential scenarios that would be very problematic if a president could do anything he wanted with respect to trying to stay in office and could not be prosecuted for those things."

"I think that would be a very problematic position for the Supreme Court or even the D.C. Circuit to agree with," she added.
