A movie about future Americans being so stupid they water their plants with sports drinks trended on political X Friday because of the Republican National Convention.

Americans who search the 2006 film "Idiocracy" will be treated to a plethora of memes comparing RNC guest speaker Hulk Hogan to Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho, the fictional U.S. president/wrestler portrayed by former NFL Los Angeles Rams player Terry Crews.

New Mexico’s senior senator is calling on President Joe Biden to “pass the torch” to give Democrats a better chance of defeating former President Donald Trump in November.

Heinrich is the third Democratic United States senator to publicly call on Biden to step down, following Sens. Jon Tester of Montana and Peter Welch of Vermont. A handful of House Democrats are also beseeching Biden to get out of the race, including four more on Friday.

Former President Donald Trump's rambling address at the Republican National Convention on Thursday evening bewildered many voters who say that they are still undecided about whom to support in the 2024 presidential election.

In interviews with The New York Times, undecided voters said that Trump's RNC address did little to sway their opinion of him, even as they still cannot commit to voting for the Democratic presidential ticket.

Donald Trump Jr. can't even dress like his dad correctly, Vivek Ramaswamy needs to step away from his Donald Duck motif and not even a $15,000 watch could save Rep. Michael Waltz from his own tailoring.

That's according to a new analysis of the Republican National Convention.

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) laid blame for the apparent assassination attempt against Donald Trump on Homeland Security secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.

Questions have been raised about security protocols at the July 13 rally in Bethel, Pennsylvania, where 20-year-old Thomas Crooks fired gunshots at the former president before a sniper shot the gunman dead. Hawley sent a letter Friday to Mayorkas seeking answers.

OLATHE, Kansas — The Rev. Bobby Love of Second Baptist Church endorsed a campaign Thursday to awaken Americans to the threat of white Christian nationalism and press for wider appreciation of how democracy could be damaged by a movement intent on undermining inclusive communities.

“Together we must reject the notion of placing one race above the other,” Love said. “We must reject the notion of intolerance. We must reject the notion of violence under the banner of Christianity.”

The head of Pennsylvania’s state House GOP caucus called for an investigation of security measures at the rally where a gunman shot at former President Donald Trump, wounding him, killing a spectator and seriously injuring two others.

House Minority Leader Bryan Cutler (R-Lancaster) on Friday introduced a resolution to establish a select committee to review planning and coordination between federal, state and local law enforcement before and during the event Saturday in Butler, Pa.

Top Democrats, including former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), are reportedly urging President Joe Biden, in private conversations, to end his reelection campaign. The two Democratic leaders fear that, according to extensive polling data and research, he will be unable to defeat GOP nominee Donald Trump in November.

But if Biden drops out of the race, the burning question becomes: Who will replace him as the nominee? Some Democratic strategists believe that Vice President Kamala Harris is their best shot, and liberal New York Times columnist Paul Krugman has described Harris as the most logical choice.

Although there are questions swirling about President Joe Biden's reelection campaign, ex-George W. Bush speechwriter David Frum believes that it was former President Donald Trump who exposed his significant weaknesses during Thursday night's rambling address at the Republican National Convention.

Writing in The Atlantic, Frum made the case that the Democratic Party has not done enough to proudly tout and market its successes over the last four years, which have seen a rapid economic recovery from the pandemic, massive job creation and a rapid cooling of inflation.

A onetime adviser to former President Donald Trump scrambled to excuse the convicted felon and Republican nominee's 92-minute speech which one critic called "flabby and windy and flat."

That was the analysis CNN political commentator Paul Begala delivered Friday morning that Trump's 2016 campaign adviser Jason Osborne found himself struggling to rebut.

For the past week, the theory circulating was that Donald Trump's brush with near assassination had left him a "changed man" more focused on unity than retribution

But, when he delivered his speech to the Republican National Convention Thursday, he pivoted from prepared remarks to the same themes voiced at multiple previous allies, former Gov. Chris Christie (R-NJ) told The View.

The Republican National Convention may have worked to limit far-right conspiracy theories from appearing in its televised speeches, but in the hallways and side events at the RNC they were rife.

The "big lie" about the 2020 election being stolen was a hot topic among delegates, with attendees speculating another "stolen" election was on its way.
