Dean Phillips downplays No Labels bid: Going to ‘win as a Democrat’

By Julia Johnson, Washington Examiner | SOURCE: THE GAZETTE Rep. Dean Phillips (D-MN) downplayed a possible 2024 bid with the centrist organization No Labels on Monday, saying he plans to "win as a Democrat." When asked about the chances of joining the group's ticket if it was interested, Phillips said, "I'm a Democrat — I have been a lifelong Democrat." Phillips told host Brian Kilmeade, "I'm a Democrat. I'm going to run as a Democrat, and I'm going to win as a Democrat." Speculation ramped up last weekend over his joining a future No Labels ticket when he didn't rule the possibility out. Phillips defended the organization against charges it would act as a spoiler to elect former President Donald Trump. "If they put someone at the top of the ti...

Nancy Mace endorses Trump in slight to Nikki Haley

By Julia Johnson, Washington Examiner | SOURCE: THE GAZETTE Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) endorsed former President Donald Trump on Monday, another snub to former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley from a Republican ally in her home state. "Today, I’m endorsing Donald J. Trump for president," Mace said in a statement. "I don’t see eye to eye perfectly with any candidate. And until now, I’ve stayed out of it. But the time has come to unite behind our nominee." Trump endorsed Mace's primary challenger in 2022, while Haley offered her own endorsement to the South Carolina Republican, who won reelection. Mace has offered criticism of Trump in the past, drawing his ire. But in the last year, she appeared to show flashes of sympathy and support f...

Biden-Cheney: You read it here first | SONDERMANN

By Eric Sondermann | SOURCE: COLORADO POLITICS Desperate times call for desperate measures. For Democrats, a party I left more than a quarter-century ago in favor of unaffiliated status and independent mind, their current situation would seem to qualify. Arguably, the same would apply for a broader swath of Americans if we are to take seriously concerns as to what a second Trump presidency could bring. To the partisan lens first, Democrats need not be in a full-blown panic. But what is the alarm bell just one step shy of that? Here in late January, Democrats find themselves with a hollowed-out, underwhelming incumbent with approval ratings deeply underwater. On top of that, the issue set for huge numbers of voters works against them. READ FULL ARTICLE ON COLORADOPOLITICS....

SOURCE: KVDR FOX 31 NEWS WASHINGTON (AP) — Florida Gov.

11 States Urge U.S. Supreme Court to Protect Presidential Primary Ballot Integrity

SOURCE: THELOBBY-CO.COM A group of 11 states have filed a brief with the U.S. Supreme Court, urging the court to overrule Colorado in a case involving former President Donald Trump's removal from the state's Republican presidential primary ballot. The case raises concerns about the potential misuse of the U.S. Constitution by states to remove candidates from their primary ballots, a move that could have far-reaching consequences for the integrity of our electoral process. Missouri Republican Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft, who led the coalition, expressed deep concerns about the case, saying in a statement, "This has the potential to tear our nation apart if left unchecked." The group of state election officials submitted an amicus or "friend of the court" brief, emphasizing that...

How Obama repaid Biden in 2020 after anointing Clinton as his successor in 2016: Book

By Rachel Schilke, Washington Examiner | SOURCE: THE GAZETTE A new book exploring the future of the Democratic Party details how former President Barack Obama helped President Joe Biden secure the 2020 nomination after backing Hillary Clinton in 2016. Hunter Walker and Luppe B.
