Donald Trump is backing the Republican vying to replace Rep. Dan Newhouse, one of two remaining GOP lawmakers who voted to impeach the ex-president.
Donald Trump started Monday by staking his official incoherent position on abortion in a too-many-minutes-long speech packed with lies. Like ending Roe v. Wade was something that “all legal scholars—both sides—wanted, and, in fact, demanded.” And his assertion that Democrats “are the radical ones on this position because they support abortion up to and even beyond the ninth month.” CNN’s Jim Acosta quickly fact-checked both of those claims. “Democrats do not believe in execution after birth,”...
Donald Trump threatening violence against the country and even average citizens has become commonplace in America's political landscape. From “bedlam” to “bloodbath” to attacking the daughter of the judge presiding over his hush-money case, Trump's penchant for putting American citizens at risk has continued unabated since he stoked the violent attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. But after suffering few if any real consequences for endangering the safety of others, Trump went a step...
Donald Trump on Friday endorsed a primary challenger to Rep. Dan Newhouse of Washington, one of two remaining House Republicans who voted to impeach the former president over his role in the Jan. 6 riot. In a Truth Social post, Trump threw his support behind Jerrod Sessler, a former petty-officer in the Navy who has gone after Newhouse for his impeachment vote. "Jerrod Sessler is a fantastic candidate and will be a GREAT Congressman for Washington State’s 4th Congressional District," Trump...
On Monday, I wrote that we should “expect this week to include rejections of desperate defense attempts to further delay” Donald Trump’s hush money trial. With the former president already striking out three separate times at the state appeals court this week, he has exceeded my modest prediction — and it’s only Thursday. The serial rejections show that the New York state courts — so far — are not entertaining the presumptive GOP presidential nominee’s delay gambits. Jury selection in the first...
Donald Trump revealed exactly how terrified his campaign is of the Republican effort to end abortion nationwide when he supposedly backed the right of states to regulate abortion early Monday morning. “The states will determine by vote or legislation or perhaps both," Trump said in a rambling nearly 5-minute video, "whatever they decide must be the law of the land—in this case, the law of the state.” President Joe Biden immediately took the opportunity to slam Trump, saying he "just endorsed...
WASHINGTON — Major political donors will gather Saturday in Donald Trump's fiefdom of Palm Beach for a fundraising event that his campaign hopes will mark a new phase in a swaggering, high-stakes race for big money with Joe Biden. While spending huge sums of money on campaigning may not be something to brag about in some countries, it's often a source of pride for U.S. political candidates. And this year, raising big bucks is as important as ever, with the November 5 presidential election...
Former President Donald Trump's latest filing in the presidential immunity case that will be heard before the Supreme Court next week has shocked one legal expert for its "audacious" claims. Trump's attorneys Monday filed a 33-page response to special counsel Jack Smith's argument that the former president is not protected from prosecution by blanket immunity and therefore can be tried on election interference charges in Washington D.C. federal court. In this new filing, Trump's attorneys build...
There must be some nostalgia out there among those who support former President Donald Trump and remember when he appeared in public for the first time wearing his signature “Make America Great Again” red hat some nine years ago.
President Biden has nearly erased Donald J. Trump’s early polling advantage, amid signs that the Democratic base has begun to coalesce behind the president despite lingering doubts about the direction of the country, the economy and his age, according to a new survey by The New York Times and Siena College. Mr. Biden and Mr. Trump are now virtually tied, with Mr. Trump holding a 46 percent to 45 percent edge. That is an improvement for Mr. Biden from late February, when Mr. Trump had a sturdier...
Former President Donald Trump already understands the legal threat posed by the criminal hush money trial set to begin in Manhattan next week, said former January 6 investigator Temidayo Aganga-Williams on CNN Friday evening.The trial centers on the allegation that the former president effectively interfered in the 2016 election by using a secret hush payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels to conceal their former affair from voters. Trump's lawyers are reportedly resigned to the fact that...
The most recent report on Donald Trump's health is being questioned by an expert on aging who would like to provide the public with answers about the "projected life span and health" of President Joe Biden and the former president who is making a third run for the Oval Office.In a deep dive into the background of Trump's new doctor, Dr. Bruce A. Aronwald, a 64-year-old osteopathic physician, the Washington Post is reporting the New Jersey physician is a longtime member of the former president's...
