Donald Trump has named U.S. Sen. J.D. Vance as his running mate, but a former senator thinks he's far from the "unifying" force that the ex-president called for after his near-death experience this weekend.

Speaking to MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace, former Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) denounced political violence, but said that Trump's experience and post-assassination response made it seem as if he was ready to unify the country.

Former President Donald Trump took a huge "gamble" by selecting Ohio senator and former venture capitalist J.D. Vance as his running mate in the 2024 election, a White House communications official during the Trump administration told CNN's Anderson Cooper on Monday.

Vance, said Alyssa Farah Griffin, is an effective communicator — but has an army of skeletons in his closet, ranging from extreme political positions to a history of attacks on Trump himself.

Speaker Mike Johnson's mad dash from the Republican National Committee stage Monday triggered an "absolutely bonkers" musical review that had social media rolling in the proverbial aisles.

The void, created by Johnson's sudden flight from a broken teleprompter, was filled by 6 Wire, a corporate cover band based in Nashville, and a rendition of "I Want You To Want Me" that appeared to last more than 10 minutes.

Former President Donald Trump's campaign is suing Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, arguing that their plan to let certain state agency workers register more voters is illegal.

According to the lawsuit filed on Monday and flagged by 12News, Whitmer and Benson do not have authority, under a 1995 law passed by the Michigan legislature, to designate the Michigan Department of Veterans Affairs and Small Business Administration to register voters, as these were not agencies included on that law as available for the governor to designate.

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre blasted right-wing claims that women were not qualified for Secret Service work following the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump.

At Monday's White House briefing, Jean-Pierre was asked about right-wing figures who blamed the shooting on diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies.

Hordes of MAGA Americans appear furious with former President Donald Trump for choosing Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) as his running mate.

The Make America Great Again super PAC made this discovery Monday just moments after they released a video congratulating the Ohio senator on joining Trump on his third presidential ballot.

While U.S. Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) may be willing to stand beside Donald Trump now, he's certainly had strong feelings about the ex-president in the past.

Over the past several years, Vance has pivoted from being an outspoken critic of the MAGA leader to a vice presidential running mate.

God, angels and Jesus Christ himself were standing guard over former President Donald Trump in Pennsylvania Saturday and the proofs are a twisted flag, a bloody ear and the many torments the convicted felon has faced, his followers say.

Republican lawmakers, pundits and followers have flocked to declare a miracle saved Trump from Thomas Matthew Crooks' AK-15 even as they blamed Democrats' political speech and hinted the Federal Bureau of Investigations was somehow complicit.

North Carolina’s lieutenant governor and Republican nominee for governor Mark Robinson, who quoted Hitler on Facebook, has been given a speaking slot at the Republican National Convention this week.

In 2014, he quoted Hitler on Facebook, saying, "Pride in one's own race - and that does not imply contempt for other races - is also a normal and healthy sentiment." He "defended the post in a speech last July, saying quoting the Nazi leader doesn’t equate to supporting him," Mediaite noted.

U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon in a 93-page opinion has dismissed the Espionage Act/classified documents case against ex-president Donald Trump, claiming Special Counsel Jack Smith’s appointment by Attorney General Merrick Garland “violates the Appointments Clause of the United States Constitution.” Legal experts, calling her ruling “wrong,” say U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas is to blame.

Donald Trump was indicted by a grand jury on 37 felony charges, 31 of them under the Espionage Act, in the case related to his alleged unlawful removal, retention, and refusal to return hundreds of documents, many classified, some top secret, and some so secret they include the nation’s nuclear secrets.
