A shocking new poll found that former President Donald Trump has dramatically increased what had been a relatively small lead in national surveys over President Joe Biden. In a survey by SSRS for CNN, Trump outperformed Biden by a startling 6 points (49–43 percent), well outside the margin of error, with 8% of respondents remaining undecided. Previously, Trump had led Biden by much smaller margins or was virtually tied with him, according to RealClearPolitics’ average of polling. But all that changed in April — ironically, the same month that Trump’s first criminal trial began in Manhattan on 34 felony counts

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan is sounding off on the investigations against former President Donald Trump. During an interview on “Sunday Morning Futures” with host Maria Bartiromo, the Ohio Republican characterized the legal cases against Trump as a “conspiracy” to impact the 2020 presidential election. “Alvin Bragg [is saying] President Trump was involved in a conspiracy to obstruct the 2016 election. And Jack Smith is saying President Trump was involved in a conspiracy to interfere with the 2020 election. It seems to me the truth really is, Alvin Bragg and Jack Smith are in a conspiracy to impact the

Former President Donald Trump announced that he would head to the battleground state of Wisconsin next week. “Trump will head to Waukesha on May 1. The event will take place at Waukesha County Expo Center, located at 1000 Northview Road. Doors will open at 11 a.m. Trump’s remarks are set to begin at 2 p.m.,” Spectrum News reported. “Trump’s last visit to Wisconsin was on April 2 in Green Bay, Wis. Before that, the former president’s last visit to the Badger State was in Aug. 2022,” the outlet added. This comes after a new poll found that Trump has dramatically

Even as former President Donald Trump has attacked Bill Barr, that has not stopped his onetime attorney general from supporting the likely GOP presidential nominee. On Friday, CNN anchor Kaitlin Collins attempted to take the former attorney general to task for his support of his former boss, but Barr was not swayed. “So it’s not about me. I think that, that I’ve said this all along. If faced with a choice between two people, neither of which I think should be president, I feel it’s my duty to pick the person who I think would do the least damage to

When a Democrat president seeks reelection, one of the entities they rely on is the mainstream media, which tends to promote the progressive candidate against their Republican opponent. Chief among these news organizations that tend to favor Democrats is The New York Times. And it is an ominous sign for President Joe Biden that he appears to have ruffled the feathers of the newspaper, which is among the most popular in the nation. A piece published by The Times has shredded the president for his lack of interviews and press conferences. “For anyone who understands the role of the free

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is pushing back on the Biden administration’s rule change involving transgender primary school students, vowing that he won’t comply with any part of it. The Biden administration last week introduced new regulations for transgender students under the umbrella of Title IX. These regulations aim to prohibit schools from mandating that students use bathrooms corresponding to their assigned gender at birth. The new rule makes it “crystal clear that everyone can access schools that are safe, welcoming and that respect their rights,” Education Secretary Miguel Cardona said, without explaining how the rule change makes it “safe” and

Top aides to President Biden devised a plan last fall in secrecy to replace White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre by enlisting outside allies to help facilitate her departure, according to sources familiar with the matter who spoke to the New York Post. Jean-Pierre, who made history in May 2022 by becoming the first Black and first openly gay person to hold the position, had developed a frustrating habit of reciting pre-prepared answers directly from a binder during her regular briefings with reporters. Her superiors perceived this as a less-than-convincing presentation for 81-year-old Biden as he prepared for his re-election

The attorney who initially represented former Mark Meadows aide Cassidy Hutchinson before the Jan. 6 Select Committee has submitted a motion to the U.S. District Court in the Northern District of Georgia, requesting a default judgment in his lawsuit against the government. In December, Stefan Passantino filed a lawsuit against the government, alleging that the House Democrat-led Jan. 6 investigation infringed upon his rights to due process and damaged his reputation by uncritically echoing Hutchinson’s assertions regarding his legal representation of her, Just the News reported Friday. The government missed the deadline to respond to the complaint by April 15.

Donald Trump has finally spoken up about the independent presidential candidacy of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who was once rumored to be on the former president’s shortlist for running mates. Trump took to his Truth Social platform on Friday night to rail at RFK Jr., saying that casting a ballot for him would be a “wasted protest vote” and that he’d “even take Biden over Junior.” Politico noted: “The wild card independent, a thorn in the side of the Democratic Party for siphoning voters from President Joe Biden, has become a source of increasing anxiety for the GOP as he threatens

The Pennsylvania Republican Party, with help from the national organization, has dramatically closed the voter registration gap with Democrats following the 2020 election cycle, according to figures published this week. Penn-Star Capital correspondent Nick Field wrote this week that the state GOP has made significant gains in voter registrations. “Since I first started tracking voter registrations [sic] trends in Pennsylvania, Republicans have generally eaten into Democrats’ historic advantage. This is the first time I can recall, however, that the GOP posted gains in all 67 counties throughout the Commonwealth,” he wrote. “Furthermore, the comparison to the last Presidential cycle is particularly stark. Back

The U.S. Supreme Court has declined to hear a challenge to Texas’ voting rules, which allow seniors to automatically vote by mail but not younger people. The court pointed out that some states, such as Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, and Tennessee, have similar regulations that allow elderly voters to request an absentee ballot for any reason, while younger voters can only do so in specific circumstances. Otherwise, they must vote in person, and many only after producing a valid ID. The court’s choice not to entertain the appeal from three Texas voters mirrors its prior dismissal of a

The U.S. Supreme Court last week ruled in favor of former President Donald Trump’s campaign despite ongoing attempts to remove him from the ballot in multiple states ahead of the 2024 election. “The Court denied a writ of certiorari petition from John Castro, a registered Republican candidate for president in 2024, who sought to have Trump removed from the ballot in Arizona,” Newsweek reported. “Castro, John A. V. Fontes, AZ Sec. Of State, et al. The petition for a writ of certiorari before judgment is denied,” the high court said in its ruling, which rejected a review of an earlier

President Joe Biden and his White House got some disastrous news for his reelection chances as he prepares to face the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, former President Donald Trump. The new Bloomberg/Morning Consult swing state poll showed that the former president is dominating in swing states. The poll showed him ahead by seven points in Arizona (49 percent-42 percent), six points in Georgia (49 percent – 43 percent), eight points in Nevada (51 percent – 43 percent), ten points in North Carolina (51 percent – 41 percent), four points in Wisconsin (48 percent – 44 percent) and one point in Pennsylvania

Fox News host Mark Levin is warning Republicans to pay close attention to what is happening in the Trump trials and at the Supreme Court. He spoke to fellow Fox News host Sean Hannity about it as they were talking about the campus protests against Israel at many colleges in the United States: “Let’s start with the Hitler youth on our college and university campuses,” he said. “Joe Biden has gaslit this entire thing with his comments about Israel, his attacks on Bibi Netanyahu, his attacks on Israel trying to defend itself against Gaza and all the rest, Joe Biden

One of Fox News’ liberal contributors sounded off at a conservative co-host after she appeared to try and make an excuse for President Joe Biden’s many gaffes. During a tense segment on Fox News Channel’s “Outnumbered” on Wednesday, emotions ran high as liberal radio host Leslie Marshall passionately reacted to Fox News’ Charles Payne’s remarks about her intellect as the panel addressed Biden’s increasing verbal slips and memory lapses, a subject that often sparks heated debates across the political spectrum. Payne, the ‘outnumbered’ male guest who is also a Fox Business Network host, noted that Biden, during a small campaign

Former President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign manager and top political adviser, Kellyanne Conway, gave her former boss some very good news during a Fox Business segment on Friday with another former administration official, economist Larry Kudlow. The host cited polling data showing the presumptive GOP nominee within striking distance of overtaking President Joe Biden in blue New York, which Conway said boded very well for the 45th president. “What is going on is that Trump is actually expanding his coalition, core constituency, looks, feels different, larger and more diverse than in the past, 2016 and 2020. Why, Larry?” she began.

President Joe Biden has set a historical precedent though it’s not one he or his administration and campaign should be proud of. According to Gallup, Biden’s approval rating is the lowest — 38.7 percent — at this point during a president’s first term in the country’s history since the polling firm began conducting its survey, the Washington Times reported. “None of the other nine presidents elected to their first term since Dwight Eisenhower had a lower 13th-quarter average than Biden,” Gallup said, referring to the period between Jan. 20 and April 19. “From a broader historical perspective, Biden’s most recent quarterly

Donald Trump immediately trolled his likely 2024 opponent, President Joe Biden, after the latter declared on “The Howard Stern Show” on Friday that he would debate the former president. “[L]et’s do the Debate at the Courthouse tonight – on National Television, I’ll wait around!” Trump posted on Truth Social during his lunch break. Before Friday, Biden and his campaign were noncommital about debating Trump, even though the former extended an invitation in March, pledging to debate “anytime, anywhere, anyplace.” “Crooked Joe Biden just announced that he’s willing to debate! Everyone knows he doesn’t really mean it, but in case he does, I

House Oversight Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) has issued another subpoena to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, seeking records from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). This latest subpoena follows the GOP-led House’s impeachment of Mayorkas last month and marks the third demand sent to the DHS chief in recent months. In December, Jordan issued a subpoena requesting documents related to “violent” illegal aliens, followed by another in February concerning border security in Texas. The Ohio Republican has also been seeking information on the illegal immigrant suspected of killing University of Georgia nursing student Laken Riley, the Daily Wire

A leading CNN legal analyst has predicted that six alternate jurors will be necessary as the trial progresses in former President Donald Trump’s ‘hush money’ case. During a segment on the network with host Anderson Cooper, Elie Honig remarked that the court would likely require a minimum of six alternates to account for potential scenarios such as illness or jurors becoming “spooked” or “freaked out” to the point where they cannot continue. On the same day, the court seated 12 jurors and one alternate, with plans to select five more alternates the following day, reports said. Honig noted that Judge

CNN legal analyst Elie Honig delivered some bad news for special counsel Jack Smith in light of a ruling by U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon in his classified documents case against former President Donald Trump. Smith’s remarks came during a segment on the network this month, prompted by a three-page order issued by Cannon, who has faced growing scrutiny from the left over her handling of the case. In her order, Cannon rebuked Smith in response to a recent filing while also rejecting Trump’s plea to dismiss the case on the basis of protection under the Presidential Records Act. The
