Benny Johnson, today, put out major speculation that Hillary is running. At this point it's all conjecture and we'll see when we see. But let me caution you, IF Hillary does infact make an announcement that she's running for President then it's all over and she will win and this is why. As we all know, Hillary ran and lost a highly contentious election in 16. She won the popular vote but lost the electoral college. Hillary was highly embarrassed to have lost to a rube like Trump and all those deplorables. Hillary will NOT put herself through that again....

LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — Two people were arrested after police say they ran on the field during the Super Bowl at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on Sunday. With approximately five minutes remaining in the third quarter of the Super Bowl, the two individuals took the field at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. “Oh, we’ve got people on the field,” said announcer Tony Romo.

A Chinese marathon runner who chain-smoked his entire way through a 26.2 miles race has been disqualified, despite achieving a competitive time. Uncle Chen, nicknamed the 'Smoking Brother', managed to complete the Xiamen Marathon in three hours and 33 minutes on January 7 this year. But despite crossing the finish line only five minutes slower than his 3:28 finish two years ago, the 52-year-old was disqualified for 'smoking on the track'. He placed 574th out of more than 1,500 runners.

Second first lady for prezBiden won’t debate. Can’t. Our codger-in-chief can’t even read the prewritten script in front of him fast enough to pronounce the words. So, forget him — which most of us already have. ..... Plans are to grab Michelle for the Democratic presidency choice. Making the music is Barack the orchestra leader.Michelle says she’s “terrified” Trump will win. No casual burp. Was programmed. She’s sent a survey to Dem biggies asking their feelings about her candidacy. Obama’s quietly angling for Joe to go. He’s weaseled up to this for a few weeks. Mouths aren’t talking. But mouths...

Sen. Joe Manchin announced Thursday that he wil not vie for re-election next year, making Republicans the favorites to pick up another seat in the upper chamber of Congress. Manchin (D-WV), a perennial thorn in the side of the Biden administration, would have likely faced a fierce battle against popular Republican Gov. Jim Justice had he decided to run. “I’ve made one of the toughest decisions of my life and decided that I will not be running for reelection to the United States Senate,” Manchin declared in a video posted to X. The 76-year-old senator was an increasingly isolated Democrat...

Former President Trump says he’d consider Tucker Carlson as a potential running mate in 2024. “I like Tucker a lot; I guess I would,” Trump said during an appearance on “The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show” this week. “I think I’d say I would, because he’s got great common sense.” “You know, when they say that you guys are conservative, or I’m conservative — it’s not that we’re conservative, we have common sense. We want to have safe borders. We want to have a wall, because walls work,” he said.

Former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that she was not ruling out running for president. Anchor Jake Tapper said, “Donald Trump is likely to be the next Republican presidential nominee, and he has a decent shot being elected the next president. It could happen. What would a second Donald Trump term look like?”

Republican presidential candidate and former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said Sunday he has no interest in running against Sen. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) following the New Jersey lawmaker’s indictment on federal bribery charges. When asked on NBC’s “Meet The Press” if he would run against Menendez, who is up for reelection in 2024, Christie said: “No, I have no interest in being in the United States Senate.”

Earlier this month, the New York Times published a bombshell article headlined “Consistent Signs of Erosion in Black and Hispanic Support for Biden.” The piece chronicles the ongoing political migration among minorities, especially Hispanics, from Democrats to Republicans. It highlights twelve “high-quality” 2024 election polls that show Biden holds a mere 50% to 40% lead among Hispanic voters. That’s down significantly from the 65% of Hispanics who voted for him in 2020. This polling destroys the media narrative that Republicans are a racist party. It debunks Democrats’ Great Replacement theory, which posits that America’s increasing number of minorities and immigrants...

A Tecumseh, Ont., native who brought awareness to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic by running a marathon while wearing a hospital gown is now dealing with the effects of long COVID. Evan Ubene, who's set to graduate with a master's in chemical engineering at McMaster University in Hamilton, says last year he was also trying to highlight the need for proper personal protective equipment for health-care professionals. Wearing the hospital gown ended up breaking a Guinness World Record at the Toronto Waterfront Marathon.

North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum said on Monday he would not serve as former President Trump’s running mate if the former president were to win the party’s nomination in 2024. “No, I would not,” Burgum, who is also running for president, said in an interview on “CNN This Morning,” when asked whether he would serve as Trump’s vice president. “Happy to do lots of other things. I [had a] fabulous 30 years in the private sector, a lot of opportunities there,” the North Dakota governor continued. Burgum also shot down the suggestion of accepting a cabinet position.

MSNBC host Jen Psaki said Monday on “Joe Scarborough Presents” that former President Donald Trump is running for president again to “prevent himself from going to jail.” Scarborough said, “There is such a disconnect here. He lost in 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022. They are still losing in 2023. You look at Wisconsin, I really think that the two greatest political earthquakes over the past couple years have been Kansas and Wisconsin. The Supreme Court race there, it was supposed to be neck and neck and it’s not like conservatives weren’t saying this is the most important race in...

Ron DeSantis is set to unveil the endorsements of more than three-dozen Iowa state legislators ahead of his trip to the state on Saturday — giving him a boost in a state that traditionally hosts the Republican Party’s first presidential nominating contest. DeSantis has spent the last few weeks reaching out to Iowa Republicans, according to a person familiar with the calls. The governor did not explicitly ask for their support during those conversations, which were instead focused on legislative matters taking place in Florida and Iowa. The endorsements, however, provide a political jolt for DeSantis as he readies for...

A Phoenix woman was found dead along a hiking trail — and police believe foul play may have been involved and have released a video of a person of interest spotted running near the scene. Lauren Heike, 29, was found on Saturday at around 10:30 a.m. along the trail on 6500 East Libby Street near her home, nearly 24 hours after she went out, police said. Phoenix officers originally received a call about an injured person spotted on the trail, but it was confirmed to be Heike’s body, which appeared to have suffered “trauma.” Phoenix Homicide Lt. James Hester told...

Just before 3 p.m. local time, a damaged grey vehicle with tinted windows and no hubcaps pulled up alongside the 28-year-old woman, who has remained anonymous in all reports.

The woman’s neighbor, Laura Slavney, saw the events unfold...

Thursday on “CNN This Morning,” co-host Kaitlan Collins asked Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D-MI), “what is the argument for you not running for president?” Collins said, “On another note, you’ve been asked a lot in almost basically every interview you’ve done recently about a 2024 run and running for president. You said you’re not interested in it. I guess my question is if you’re a supporter of yours, and you’re someone who doesn’t live in Michigan but is national and wants to see you run, what is the argument for you not running for president?

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that former President Donald Trump running for the White House in 2024 would be “bad news for the country.” Anchor George Stephanopoulos asked, “In the face of all this news, we see that Donald Trump is planning to announce for president again on Tuesday, is that good news for Democrats?” Pelosi said, “I think it’s bad news for the country, let’s put it that way. Because this is a person who has undermined the integrity of our elections, has not honored his oath of office, who has encouraged people,...

In a phone call with Ukraine's president this month, US President Joe Biden pledged continued solidarity with Ukraine as it battles Russia's military invasion and illegal annexation of Ukrainian territory. But that level of support could be in jeopardy if the GOP gains control of the House of Representatives in this year's midterm elections. The warning signs have been building for months. In April, 10 House Republicans voted against a bill allowing the Biden administration to more easily lend military equipment to Ukraine. The following month, 57 House Republicans voted "no" on a nearly $40 billion aid package for Ukraine....

It’s Climate Week in New York City — happening alongside the UN General Assembly — and it comes on the heels of a record-smashing hot summer in the northern hemisphere and ahead of what could be a dangerously under-heated winter in Europe. It’s a moment when China has seen its most severe heatwave on record, the war in Ukraine reinforced Western Europe’s over-dependence on natural gas and flooding in Pakistan was labeled a “climate catastrophe” requiring “massive support.” And all of this just months after the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) raised an alarm bell on the inadequacy...

Former President Trump on Thursday said he “can’t imagine being indicted” over his handling of classified documents or a scheme to put forward alternate electors after the 2020 election, but that if he were, it would not deter him from a possible White House run in 2024. “I can’t imagine being indicted. I’ve done nothing wrong,” Trump told conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt.
