Trump-Supporters Are Changing Their Minds on Who They Want to Run In 2024

/0 Comments/in , /by

There’s is no denying it: Former President Trump has a following. . .

However, a change is brewing among Republicans as the midterm elections didn’t bring a red wave as they had hoped, blaming Trump’s involvement in key candidate races.

According to a new YouGov poll, the majority of Republicans want Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla) to be the GOP’s 2024 presidential nominee.

42 percent of voters would rather see DeSantis on the ballot compared to 35 percent who would prefer Trump.

“More Republicans and Republican-leaning Independents now say they’d prefer DeSantis (42%) as their 2024 presidential nominee over Trump than say they’d prefer Trump to DeSantis (35%)… that’s a reversal from nearly a month ago, when — according to a Yahoo News/YouGov poll of U.S. adults — just 35% preferred DeSantis and 45% said they preferred Trump,” the survey stated.

Trump Files Lawsuit to Avoid Jan. 6 Committee Subpoena

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump is suing the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol in an attempt to block a subpoena requiring him to testify.

The suit contends that, while former presidents have voluntarily agreed to provide testimony or documents in response to congressional subpoenas in the past, “no president or former president has ever been compelled to do so.”

“Long-held precedent and practice maintain that separation of powers prohibits Congress from compelling a President to testify before it,” Trump attorney David A. Warrington said in a statement announcing Trump’s intentions.

He said Trump had “engaged with the Committee in a good faith effort to resolve these concerns consistent with Executive Branch prerogatives and separation of powers,” but said the panel “insists on pursuing a political path, leaving President Trump with no choice but to involve the third branch, the judicial branch, in this dispute between the executive and legislative branches.”

The suit likely dooms the prospect of Trump ever having to testify, given that the committee is expected to disband at the end of the legislative session in January. The committee did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the suit. (Read more from “Trump Files Lawsuit to Avoid Jan. 6 Committee Subpoena” HERE)

Trump: DeSantis a ‘Fine Guy,’ but He Could ‘Hurt Himself Very Badly’ by Running in 2024

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President Trump said if he formally announces a 2024 White House bid and is re-elected, he would return to the nation’s capital with experience and a new perspective, without having to rely on Washington insiders, and would build on his “unbeatable” America First record.

The former president sat for a wide-ranging interview on Trump Force One, a Boeing 757, Monday night with Fox News Digital and four other reporters after teasing during a rally in Dayton, Ohio that he plans make a “major” announcement from Mar-a-Lago on Nov.15, likely regarding the launch of his possible third presidential campaign. . .

Before that though, Trump is calling for a GOP leadership change in Congress, specifically pointing to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. He also warned potential Republican presidential candidates, like Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, against running against him in 2024, saying it would not “be good for the party.”

Reflecting on his administration from 2017 to 2021 and people he tapped to serve in top cabinet posts, Trump said, “I never did this before.”

“Part of the problem was that I wasn’t a Washington person,” Trump said. “You have to rely on people — I had a lot of great people, but I had to rely on people who were RINOs.” (Read more from “Trump: DeSantis a ‘Fine Guy,’ but He Could ‘Hurt Himself Very Badly’ by Running in 2024” HERE)

Dems Accused of Scheming to Claim Election Victory No Matter the Votes

/0 Comments/in /by

Democrats, reacting to President Trump’s claims of a stolen 2020 presidential election, launched into a campaign against “election deniers” that they still pursue, despite the fact members of their own party are outspoken “election deniers” after any election won by a Republican.

Of course, after the fact, we learned that in the 2020 race the FBI lobbied Big Tech to suppress damaging information about the Biden family’s business dealings, and Mark Zuckerberg handed out, through foundations, $400 million plus, and the evidence shows either one of those factors likely changed the election winner from President Trump to Joe Biden. . .

Now THEY will, charges John Daniel Davidson, senior editor at The Federalist.

In a column at that publication, he pointed out that Democrats and corporate media on their side “have been pushing hard the message that we won’t know the results of key races for days, maybe weeks.”

“It’s not just about counting absentee ballots, it’s about getting the rigging in place, either to claim victory or deny the legitimacy of the vote. Whatever Democrats say they fear Republican ‘election deniers’ might do, they themselves are preparing to do the same or worse,” he wrote.

/0 Comments/in , /by

Several Republican operatives are reportedly on edge amid speculation that former President Donald Trump will make his 2024 presidential bid official Monday evening.

Confidants close to Trump believe he is chomping at the bit and could expedite his timetable for debuting his comeback bid to Monday night’s rally in Ohio where he will be stumping for Republican Senate hopeful J.D. Vance and others, according to Axios reporter Jonathan Swan. . .

Trump has repeatedly teased his 2024 ambitions during rallies, including Sunday night in Miami in which he proclaimed he will “probably have to do it again.” Prior reporting indicated that Trump had been eyeing a campaign launch after the midterm elections and that the date in mind was Nov. 14.

Trump Mocks Nancy Pelosi Following Attack on Her Husband Paul

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump repeatedly taunted House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) while mocking Democrats’ midterm prospects at a rally Sunday in Florida.

The 45th president made the comments at his Sunday campaign event in Miami, Fla., where he stumped for Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) ahead of Tuesday’s midterm elections. His remarks come just two days after Paul Pelosi, the House speaker’s elderly husband, was released from the hospital following a violent, late-night assault in the Pelosi’s San Francisco, California, home. . .

Trump told the crowd that once Republicans retook the House of Representatives in this week’s midterms, GOP lawmakers were “going to end Crazy Nancy Pelosi’s political career once and for all.”

The comment immediately sparked chants of “lock her up” from the crowd, causing the former president to respond: “We have a feisty crowd today.” . . .

“Crazy Nancy Pelosi, by the way how is she doing lately?” he said. “How’s she doing?” (Read more from “Trump Mocks Nancy Pelosi Following Attack on Her Husband Paul” HERE)

Trump Urges Rallygoers to “Crush the Communists at the Ballot Box”

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump is racing to the finish line in support of Republican candidates for key races ahead of this week’s midterm election. On a rare afternoon stop, he rallied before a heavily-populated Latino crowd that started with sunshine and ended with a typical Florida downpour. A rain that didn’t seem to wash away any enthusiasm.

“This is the best rally we’ve ever had,” Trump shouted from the stage as rain flew in sideways during the Miami event to support Republican Senator Marco Rubio, Governor Ron DeSantis and a slew of GOP candidates on hand hoping the former president’s Hail Mary works.

Trump hit all of his usual talking points during the rally like: the 2020 election, which he says was still a sham; the border wall; the Russia-Ukraine war; gas prices; inflation; the price of Thanksgiving turkeys; Nancy Pelosi; Joe Biden; Hillary Clinton; COVID; China; illegal immigration; impeachments; and most notably, Democrats, who he said are “radicals” and hard left-leaning “socialists” who are after guns, free speech rights, power and votes.

“Democrats want to turn America into communist Cuba or socialist Venezuela,” Trump said about 25 minutes into his speech. “In the Republican Party. We are determined that America will never be a socialist country and America. Sure as hell, we can’t let this happen to be a communist country.” (Read more from “Trump Urges Rallygoers to “Crush the Communists at the Ballot Box” HERE)

Supreme Court Blocks Congress From Getting Trump’s Tax Returns

/0 Comments/in , /by

The U.S. Supreme Court on Nov. 1 blocked Congress from obtaining former President Donald Trump’s tax returns.

Chief Justice John Roberts, a George W. Bush appointee, stayed an appeals court order that had ruled a congressional panel could gain access to the documents.

Trump filed an emergency application on Monday to the Supreme Court, asking it to halt the order.

Roberts’ stay is temporary, pending further developments in the case.

Rep. Richard Neal (D-Mass.), chairman of the House Committee on Ways and Means, has for years been trying to obtain Trump’s returns, asserting that they are necessary as the panel considers possibly updating how audits of presidents are done.

Elon Musk Reveals if Trump Will Be Allowed Back on Twitter

/0 Comments/in , /by

Elon Musk took to Twitter on Monday and addressed the question that’s on everybody’s mind: Will he permit Donald Trump back on the social media site?

“If I had a dollar for every time someone asked me if Trump is coming back on this platform, Twitter would be minting money!” the new Twitter boss tweeted Monday.

Musk last week completed his $44 billion acquisition of Twitter. Upon taking control of the company, he began cleaning house by firing its top executives.

In the weeks and months leading up to his purchase of Twitter, Musk, who calls himself a “free speech absolutist,” pledged to reinstate Trump’s account.

Ilhan Omar: Trump, Republicans Mentioning My Name Causes Uptick of Death Threats – ‘They Have to Be Held Accountable’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Representative Ilhan Omar (D-MN) said Friday on MSNBC’s “Alex Wagner Tonight” that when former President Donald Trump or other Republicans mention her name, she receives a direct uptick in death threats.

During a discussion on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) husband, Paul Pelosi, being attacked in his San Francisco Home early Friday morning, Wagner said, “Marjorie Taylor Greene, she has previously said that speaker Pelosi is a traitor to our country. She is guilty of treason. She gives aid and comfort to our enemies.”

Omar said, “We should not live in fear just because we have decided to serve our country, our constituents, and want the ability to shape the way in which our country is governed. What the Republicans have put out in those statements that you read to me – I just want the audience to realize that it is dangerous. It is delusional, and it is disturbing. This level of deflection that the Republicans are doing really moves us away from actual, honest accountability in this conversation.” (Read more from “Ilhan Omar: Trump, Republicans Mentioning My Name Causes Uptick of Death Threats – ‘They Have to Be Held Accountable’” HERE)
