‘Anytime, Anywhere, Anyplace’: Trump issues debate challenge to Biden

By Naveen Athrappully | Epoch Times Former President Donald Trump challenged President Joe Biden to debate him on key issues facing the nation. “It is important, for the good of our country, that Joe Biden and I debate issues that are so vital to America, and the American people. Therefore, I am calling for debates, anytime, anywhere, anyplace!" “The debates can be run by the corrupt DNC, or their subsidiary, the Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD). I look forward to receiving a response. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” President Trump said in a March 7 Truth Social post. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE EPOCH TIMES

Musk says he won’t donate to Biden or Trump

By DOMINICK MASTRANGELO | The Hill Billionaire tech and media mogul Elon Musk said he will not be giving money to either President Biden or former President Trump this year as the two prepare to face off in the fall. “Just to be super clear, I am not donating money to either candidate for US President,” Musk wrote Wednesday on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter that he purchased in 2022. The New York Times reported Tuesday that Musk met with Trump and a few wealthy Republican donors in Florida as the former president’s campaign looks to “to shore up his finances” ahead of a rematch with Biden.

Holdout Republicans fall in line behind Trump after Super Tuesday sweep

By Cami Mondeaux| Colorado Springs Gazette Republicans who had held off on throwing their support behind former President Donald Trump are now getting off the sidelines after his performance on Super Tuesday all but guaranteed he will be the party's presidential nominee. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) endorsed Trump on Wednesday, making him the highest-ranking Senate Republican to back the former president. The endorsement comes despite the pair not having spoken since Trump left office and even after McConnell partially blamed the former president for the Jan. 6 riot. “It is abundantly clear that former President Trump has earned the requisite support of Republican voters to be our nominee for President of the United States,” McConnell said...

‘They call it Super Tuesday for a reason,’ Trump says as he celebrates victory

By BRIAN PORTER | The Rocky Mountain Voice Super Tuesday was just that, President Donald Trump said March 5 following Republican Party primary elections in 16 different states – 15 of which he won. “They call it Super Tuesday for a reason,” he said. “There’s never been anything so conclusive. This was an amazing night, an amazing day; it has been an incredible period of time.” A handful of opponents were whittled down to one by Super Tuesday, and by Wednesday morning his only remaining opponent, Nikki Haley, suspended her campaign. In a post on Truth social, Trump called for Haley’s supporters to unify under him and “join the greatest movement in the history of our nation.” In Colorado, he won the Republican primary by 30 percentage points, taking victories in 57 of 64 coun...

‘Now that it’s over, it’s over,’ McConnell says in support of Trump following Haley exit

By BURGESS EVERETT | Politico Mitch McConnell is endorsing Donald Trump for president, a move that the Senate GOP leadermadeafter Trump's only main rival dropped out of the GOP primary. Despite their nonexistent relationships over the past three years, McConnell has always maintained he would support the eventual Republican nominee — and Nikki Haley's Wednesday suspension of her campaign unlocked McConnell's formal endorsement. His decision to formally back Trump amounts to a detente, however involuntary, after a rocky three years between the two men. It also illustrates that the two men may still need each other politically: McConnell is trying to take back the Senate majority for Republicans at the end of the year, while Trump is trying to win many of the same battleground ...

Trump now faces ‘time of choosing’, Haley says as she suspends campaign

By BRIAN PORTER | The Rocky Mountain Voice Nikki Haley has suspended her campaign for President, but perhaps not her advocacy for traditional Republican conservative values. Channeling Ronald Reagan, she termed this “a time of choosing” for former President Donald Trump, now presumed to be the Republican nominee for President for the third consecutive time. “It is now up to Donald Trump to earn the votes of those in our party and beyond it who did not support him,” Haley said from Charleston, S.C. “I hope he does that. At its best, politics is about bringing people into your cause, not turning them away. Our conservative cause badly needs more people.” The goal of the campaign was to help Americans have their voices heard, Haley said, and “I have done that; I have no regrets.” ...

Bush-era ‘architect’ Karl Rove says Trump Team ‘ought to be concerned’ with party unification

By SARAH FORTINSKY | The Hill Republican strategist Karl Rove said former President Trump’s campaign “ought to be concerned” about unifying the Republican party, pointing to robust support for Republican candidate Nikki Haley’s candidacy on Super Tuesday. Rove called Super Tuesday a “strong night for Donald Trump” in an interview on Fox News, and described the former president’s campaign estimation that he would win a sufficient number of delegates to clinch the GOP nomination by later this month as “probably accurate.” “Having said that, the high command of Team Trump ought to be concerned about unifying the Republican Party,” added Rove, a former top aide to former President George W. Bush. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE HILL...

Super Tuesday: Nikki Haley to suspend Presidential campaign as Trump goes 15-1 on big night

By Maegan Vazquez, Amy B Wang and Dylan Wells | Washington Post Nikki Haley, a former U.N. ambassador and governor of South Carolina, will suspend her presidential campaign, according to several people familiar with her plans, leaving Donald Trump with no major opponents left on his path to becoming the 2024 Republican nominee. The only woman in the Republican race and Trump’s final remaining major GOP rival, Haley campaigned on her foreign policy experience and general-election appeal, casting her candidacy as a generational change that could bring more voters into the Republican fold. She was the first candidate to announce a challenge to Trump and outlasted a large field of rivals who were viewed as more viable opponents to become the final candidate standing between him and the n...

Elon Musk criticizes program that flew 320,000 ‘unvetted’ illegal immigrants into America

By Shannon Thaler | New York Post Elon Musk ripped President Joe Biden’s administration for secretly flying 320,000 “unvetted” migrants into the US, signaling that “the groundwork is being laid for something far worse than 9/11.” Musk issued the grave warning on X Tuesday, noting that it’s “just a matter of time” that the US faces another terrorist attack of that magnitude. “This administration is both importing voters and creating a national security threat from unvetted illegal immigrants,” Musk added in the post. “This is why groups on the far left fight so hard to stop voter ID requirements, under the absurd guise of protecting the right to vote,” the billionaire Tesla CEO said in a subsequent post that doubled down on his stance.
