Lara Trump stepping down as RNC Co-chair amid U.S. Senate bid speculation

By Simon Kent | Breitbart Republican National Committee (RNC) co-chair Lara Trump is stepping down from her party role as she considers replacing Florida Sen. Marco Rubio (R), whom her father-in-law, President-elect Trump, picked for secretary of state. “It is something I would seriously consider,” she told the Associated Press in an interview, referring to serving in the Senate.  “If I’m being completely transparent, I don’t know exactly what that would look like. And I certainly want to get all of the information possible if that is something that is real for me,” Trump added. READ THE FULL STORY AT BREITBART

Wegmann: Harris Calls DeSantis ‘Selfish,’ Biden Praises Him as ‘Very Gracious’

By Philip Wegmann, Commentary | Daily Signal Two hours before Hurricane Milton made landfall, President Joe Biden had only kind words for Ron DeSantis—even though his vice president, Kamala Harris, accused Florida’s Republican governor of being “utterly irresponsible.” At issue: a phone call. The day before, Biden even gave DeSantis his personal cellphone number, urging him “to contact me directly, if that’s necessary.” Harris, meanwhile, can’t get through to the governor. After NBC News broke the story that DeSantis was sending Harris to voicemail, she told reporters that the governor was being “selfish” and “playing political games.” Biden does not see it that way.

Biden undermines Harris claim Ron DeSantis is politicizing hurricane response: ‘Doing a great job’

By Alec Schemmel | Fox News President Joe Biden praised GOP Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for being "cooperative" and doing a "great job" in his response to Hurricanes Helene and Milton, despite Vice President Kamala Harris slamming DeSantis for "playing political games" instead of doing his job in response to the storms. NBC News reported Monday that DeSantis was denying phone calls from Harris' team. "People are in desperate need of support right now and playing political games with this moment, in these crisis situations, these are the height of emergency situations, it's just utterly irresponsible, and it is selfish," Harris told reporters Monday.  Meanwhile, on Tuesday, President Joe Biden's opinion about the GOP Florida governor's response to Hurricane Helene and ...

DeSantis blasts Kamala for Hurricane Milton comments: ‘She has no role in this process’

By Jeff Poor | Breitbart Monday, during an appearance on FNC’s “Hannity,” Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) excoriated Vice President Kamala Harris for injecting herself into his state’s storm preparation as Category 5 Hurricane Milton approaches the Sunshine State. DeSantis was reacting to comments from Harris, who called the Florida governor “selfish” to reporters. “[F]or Kamala Harris, to try to say that my sole focus on the people of Florida is somehow selfish is delusional,” he said. “She has no role in this. In fact she’s been vice president for three-and-a-half years, have dealt with a number of storms under this administration. She has never contributed anything to any of these efforts. So what I think is selfish – trying to blunder into this – know and here’s the thing – she ...

Adversaries turned allies tell RNC Trump is right for job, Biden right for “Weekend at Bernie’s”

By BRIAN PORTER | Rocky Mountain Voice Actions speak louder than words and on the second evening of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisc., a few of former President Donald J. Trump's rivals acted through their words. Ron DeSantis, Nikki Haley and Vivek Ramaswamy, who offered Mr. Trump the greatest challenge in the primary season, joined with his toughest competition from the 2016 primary, Sen. Ted Cruz, as an expression of the party coalescing around Trump. "Never before has an election mattered so much," Cruz said. Mr. Trump is the Republican Party's nominee for President. On Monday, he announced Sen. J.D. Vance of Ohio as his running mate on the Republican ticket. Ron DeSantis, the governor of Trump's home state of Florida, set a tone. "Joe Biden has fa...

By Paul Bedard | Colorado Springs Gazette With former President Donald Trump leading GOP primary opponents by a mile in 2024 election polls, some voters are already considering who he might pick as his running mate, and one name stands out in a list of 14 potential selections.
