As we have reported, Fani Willis is in the middle of an election race, running again for Fulton County District Attorney. She blew off a debate the other day, forcing her Democratic primary opponent to appear against an empty podium, perhaps a fitting description of her candidacy. You would think that with all the drama she has caused and the attendant scandal, that it might be hard to find anyone who would come out on her behalf. But some members of the clergy came out to endorse her on Monday, appearing with her at the Big Bethel AME Church in...

A procession of prominent Republicans who wanted to guide their party away from Donald Trump in 2024 have come around to him as the former president became the party’s presumptive nominee. And many have offered virtually the same justification in grudgingly offering support: He’s at least preferable to President Biden. “I think he’d be better than Joe Biden,” said Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp. “It’s as simple as that.” “I mean, the alternative is Biden,” said New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu. “The choice before the American people is crystal clear: It’s Donald Trump or Joe Biden,” said Senate Minority Whip John...

House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) slammed Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s (R-Ky.) endorsement of former President Trump, calling it a “sad, professional tragedy” given their history. Pelosi acknowledged that over the years, she and McConnell were able to find common ground on some issues. But, the former Speaker stated that it is “sad” for him to support Trump after the upper chamber was close to removing him from office for his alleged role in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol. “For him to know how bad the president’s predecessor was on all of this, and then come...

A number of Republican and MAGA figures have reacted angrily after The Houston Chronicle, one of the biggest newspapers in Texas, endorsed President Joe Biden. The Houston Chronicle's editorial board said they would be backing Biden in the Democratic primary and for re-election so he can "make life better" for the American people as well as prevent the "chaos, corruption and danger to the nation" that would accompany his presumed 2024 Republican challenger Donald Trump returning to the White House.

Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas), a member of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s (R-Ky.) leadership team, announced Tuesday that he is endorsing former President Trump after he won the New Hampshire GOP primary. “I have seen enough.

Christ Christie’s (R-NJ) endorsement on the eve of the New Hampshire primary. “At the end of the day, you don’t want all of those politicians’ endorsements,” Haley told the far-left NewsNation of Christie Friday. “That’s part of the problem.

Sununu is only 49 years old. He has plenty of time to run later if he wants to do so. He spent the summer and fall with the GOP candidates...

Ambassador and South Carolina governor, received a major endorsement from one of the biggest conservative activist groups in the country, Americans for Prosperity (AFP), on Tuesday.

Gov. Andy Beshear has won the Kentucky governor’s race, beating his Trump-endorsed challenger, Republican Attorney General Daniel Cameron, to secure a second term. *** The 45-year-old Beshear, son of former Kentucky governor Steve Beshear, is the first Democratic governor to win reelection in the commonwealth since 2011, when his father accomplished the same feat. *** In one of the nation’s most expensive political campaigns, where nearly $74 million was raised and spent, Beshear maintained a high level of popularity in his first term as governor despite being a Democrat in Kentucky’s increasingly Republican-leaning political climate. In his re-election pitch to...

Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds touted Ron DeSantis’ accomplishments as governor of Florida as she endorsed him Monday — and said she believes he will be able to win the 2024 general election, while Donald Trump cannot. “I believe he can’t win,” Reynolds said of Trump, “and I believe that Ron can.” “And that’s a big reason I got behind him,” Reynolds told NBC News in a joint interview with DeSantis.

The Republican governor previously said she was remaining “neutral” but didn’t rule out endorsing a candidate before the all-important first-in-the-nation caucuses.
