President Donald Trump has been flirting with the possibility of serving a third term, and supporters like Steve Bannon are all for it. But even Bannon acknowledged that the U.S. Constitution stands in the way of MAGA's ambitions.

Politico reported Tuesday that Bannon is "exploring options" to try to deliver Trump a third term in office, despite the Constitution limiting a president to two terms.

Bannon told Politico, "I don't have right now a tremendous amount of support on this legally. But remember, I've faced longer odds on many other topics in my life." ...

Former President Trump derided losing Republican congressional candidate Mazi Melesa Pilip as a “very foolish woman” hours after she lost a closely watched Long Island special election to fill the seat once held by disgraced ex-Rep. George Santos. Trump blamed the trailblazing Ethiopian Israeli immigrant’s loss on her failure to come out strongly enough in favor of him during the campaign against Democrat Tom Suozzi. “This very foolish woman, Mazi Melesa Pilip, …didn’t endorse me and tried to ‘straddle the fence,’ when she would have easily WON,” Trump wrote on his social media site.

About quarter past 7 p.m., a news release rolled out the latest set of South Carolina endorsements for the former president after his 11-point victory in New Hampshire, signaling he was consolidating support for his third presidential campaign. “Welcome home to Trump Country, Nikki, where there has been an earthquake of political and grassroots support backing Pre......

In a move reflecting growing discontent with the way South Carolina elects its judges, the state Senate is blocking all judicial elections — including that of the next state Supreme Court Justice — short of the General Assembly passing a bill on judicial reform. Judicial elections are a key function of the South Carolina General Assembly and the House expected to fulfill that function Wednesday. The Senate does not share that expectation, and has instead demanded that the Legislature first effectively address judicial reform before any judicial elections take place. “A substantial number of Se......

LANSING, Mich. — Former Ambassador Pete Hoekstra was elected chairman of a faction of the Michigan Republican Party that is fighting in court to be recognized as the legitimate replacement to embattled chairwoman Kristina Karamo. The new chair, whose victory was clinched with a call from Mar-a-Lago, inherits a party torn by internal divisions and under financial stresses, including default on a roughly $500,000 loan, just 10 months ahead of the 2024 presidential election. Hoekstra's party filed suit Friday seeking a court order establishing the group as the legitimate state party after former ......
