Sen. Josh Hawley's (R-MO) interview with Fox News host Laura Ingraham on Wednesday night left some observers taken aback.

Hawley joined Ingraham ahead of President Donald Trump's "Freedom 250" rally, where the two discussed immigration policy and a host of other issues. At one point, Hawley attempted to make a populist argument about liberals being disconnected from the problems of immigration, one that didn't land with some observers.

A political expert flagged one point where President Donald Trump has become "especially vulnerable" as the 2026 midterm elections approach.

Karl Rove, a former senior adviser and deputy chief of staff for President George W. Bush, argued in a new op-ed for The Wall Street Journal that Trump's deal with the Iranian regime could be his greatest weakness as the midterms approach. Rove argued that the deal was likely to disappoint Trump's supporters because it didn't achieve any of Trump's war goals, like preventing Iran from financing the Hezbollah terror group in Lebanon or developing a nuclear weapon.

The Wall Street Journal's conservative editorial board bashed President Donald Trump's latest legislative "mish-mosh" that came to a boil on Wednesday.

Trump abruptly canceled a bill-signing ceremony for the overwhelmingly popular 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act to force lawmakers to pass his SAVE America Act, a less popular piece of legislation that would fundamentally reshape how American elections are conducted. The move caught several Republicans by surprise, some of whom still showed up to the ceremony because they had not been notified of the cancellation.

President Donald Trump's abrupt decision to hold a popular piece of legislation hostage to force Republicans to pass his sweeping election reform legislation baffled one MS NOW analyst on Wednesday.

Earlier in the day, Trump canceled the signing ceremony for the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, which passed Congress with support from a supermajority of lawmakers. He did so in an attempt to pressure lawmakers to pass the SAVE Act, a bill that would fundamentally reshape how American elections are conducted. Simone Sanders Townsend, co-host of "The Weeknight," was baffled by the idea.

President Donald Trump's Department of Justice has committed a "cardinal sin" in a recently launched investigation and betrayed the department's fundamental mission in the process, according to one legal expert.

Harry Litman, a former federal prosecutor, argued in a new Substack essay that the Trump DOJ's investigation into Jennifer Siebel Newsom, who is married to California's Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom, betrays one of the most fundamental ethical standards in the legal practice. Litman noted that the agency was yet another example of the DOJ exercising its prosecutorial powers, which have also been described as "the most dangerous powers," to go after people the president doesn't like.

Republicans heading into November have a problem they can't say out loud: they're terrified of being seen anywhere near Donald Trump.

That was the blunt read on Wednesday from John Heilemann, national affairs analyst for NBC News and MS NOW, on Nicolle Wallace's show, "Deadline: White House," where he argued the only thing that halts a slide toward authoritarianism is the ballot box.

MS NOW's Ari Melber hit back at an outgoing Republican senator on Wednesday who has been recently vocally critical of President Donald Trump.

During a press gaggle on Wednesday, Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) was asked by a reporter about the Trump Department of Justice trying to prosecute people for allegedly damaging the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. Tillis slammed the move, arguing that it seemed to be inexplicable that the DOJ would seek to prosecute the alleged vandals when the president pardoned people who beat police officers during the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol.
