Earlier this week she took to X to make it clear there would be "no peace" between the two of them and that "she can't become a Senator without us."

'I don't feel safe': Trump's co-author says he's fleeing the country if ex-president wins

Tony Schwartz, the co-author for former President Donald Trump's "The Art of the Deal," doesn't plan on staying in America if the former president is put back in office, he said on MSNBC's "The Beat" Wednesday.

This comes as Trump increasingly starts comparing himself and his own legal problems to those of Alexei Navalny, the Russian opposition leader who died this month in a Siberian labor camp — which Schwartz warned anchor Ari Melber is a red flag for what his plans are for the future.

Most voters say Biden, Trump both mentally unfit for 2nd term, poll finds

American voters are broadly skeptical that President Joe Biden is mentally fit to serve a second term, and most do not think his potential general election rival Donald Trump is mentally fit either, according to a Quinnipiac University poll published Wednesday.
