Donald Trump reportedly has a plan to undermine and challenge the 2024 presidential election, and it involves many of the same people who participated in the Jan. 6 insurrection attempt.

The New York Times reported on the plans on Saturday, even noting that the group spearheading Project 2025, the Heritage Foundation, is providing support for the GOP's efforts.

"The Republican Party and its conservative allies are engaged in an unprecedented legal campaign targeting the American voting system. Their wide-ranging and methodical effort is laying the groundwork to contest an election that they argue, falsely, is already being rigged against former President Donald J. Trump," the Times reported over the weekend. "The campaign involves a powerful network of Republican lawyers and activist groups, working loosely in concert with the Republican National Committee. Many of the key players were active in Mr. Trump’s attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 election."...

A day after crashing and burning on the debate stage, The New York Times Editorial Board called for President Joe Biden to do his duty to the country and tap out.

"The president appeared on Thursday night as the shadow of a great public servant," writes the prominent paper's board piece titled "To Serve His Country, President Biden Should Leave the Race" that was published on Friday evening. "He struggled to explain what he would accomplish in a second term. He struggled to respond to Mr. Trump’s provocations. He struggled to hold Mr. Trump accountable for his lies, his failures and his chilling plans. More than once, he struggled to make it to the end of a sentence."

The paper's board noted that Biden didn't have the stamina or the stuff to match his counterpart as the contest nears November 5. ...

A lot of polls show that Donald Trump has a good chance of winning the 2024 election, but one strategist doesn't see that actually happening.

Democratic political strategist Simon Rosenberg analyzed the state of the presidential race on Saturday, ultimately concluding that "Trump is not winning" the race against President Joe Biden. Rosenberg's analysis was published as part of his Hopium Chronicles.

Rosenberg, who has previously commented on Trump's scandals, argued that "Biden is doing much better in likely voter universes" in comparison to Trump....

As part of his conversation with MSNBC on Thursday, Donald Trump's biographer noted that it has become clear that the national Republican Party could suffer the same problem as the Trump campaign when it comes to donors.

Last month, it was reported that Trump's campaign was hemorrhaging the people he needed the most to get through the election.

Former Republican lawmaker David Jolly quipped that it seems the gold sneakers aren't selling that well for Trump after all. ...

Donald Trump went from being one of the unlikeliest of American presidents to having a firm grip on the Republican Party, its leadership, and its most extreme members despite his long history of failure at the ballot box in regards to his handpicked candidates.

The GOP will come to regret those failures when Trump loses in 2024, according to conservative columnist Reed Galen, in "what is likely to be a devastating electoral defeat."

"Trump’s erratic behavior, anti-democratic rhetoric, and threats against his opponents will contribute to his loss in November’s presidential election," writes Galen. "But it is America’s demographic makeup that will ultimately send Trump into permanent retirement. The old wisdom that 'demographics is destiny' – coined by the French philosopher Auguste Comte – may well be more relevant to the outcome than it has been to any previous presidential election."...

If only Trump could get a social media mulligan.

Former Donald Trump communications director Alyssa Farah Griffin, appearing on CNN's "Out Front," waded in on the salty Truth Social smackdown he beamed out after his GOP rival, former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley, graciously bowed out of the presidential contest, leaving him to be the presumptive nominee.

“Nikki Haley got TROUNCED last night, in record setting fashion, despite the fact that Democrats, for reasons unknown, are allowed to vote in Vermont, and various other Republican Primaries,” the 77-year-old pol posted on Truth Social just before Haley formally suspended her campaign. “Much of her money came from Radical Left Democrats, as did many of her voters, almost 50%, according to the polls. ...
