Mike pence for president

Kari Lake, endorsed by former President Donald Trump , won Arizona's Republican gubernatorial primary on Thursday, dealing a blow to Vice President Mike Pence , who backed her opponent Karrin Taylor Robson. The primary in the battleground Sun Belt state became a proxy battle between Trump and Pence . Though Pence once served as Trump's second-in-command, their relations soured following the January 6, 2021, attack at the U.S. Capitol, when a mob of Trump supporters rioted in a failed attempt to force Congress to block the 2020 presidential election results based on unfounded claims of voter fraud. At the time, Trump urged Pence to join his efforts to overturn the presidential election results, but Pence refused to do so. The results and legitimacy of the election have become a divisive issue in the Republican Party—even though there is no substantial evidence that the election was stolen—as Trump attempts to hold his grip on power in the GOP. The issue became central to … [Read more...] about Trump beats Pence in Arizona as Kari Lake wins primary

Donald Trump 's former campaign manager recently said that he believes Florida Governor Ron DeSantis should hold off trying to become president until after 2024 while former Vice President Mike Pence would be considered a "strong" candidate should he choose to run. Paul Manafort, a key part of Trump's 2016 team who was jailed for tax and bank fraud charges , told Newsweek that while he considers both DeSantis and Pence potential future GOP candidates, neither of them would beat the former president should he choose to run in in 2024 as expected. "DeSantis is in no rush," Manafort said. "He's gonna get reelected, he's been doing a tremendous job as governor of Florida. His second term will end in 2026, and—if Trump is elected [in 2024]—he will have an open seat in 2028. "Pence has his own base he can build from and he's a strong candidate in many respects," Manafort added. "I don't know if he'd run against Trump. He would also be a prospective candidate for 2028. They're … [Read more...] about DeSantis “in no rush” but Pence “strong” for 2024—Trump’s ex-campaign chief

Former President Donald Trump will be holding a Save America Rally in Waukesha, Wisconsin at 7 p.m CDT. He will be speaking in support of Tim Michels, who is running for governor of the state. Michels received the former president’s endorsement in June, and he is running against Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch in the Republican gubernatorial primary, set to be held August 9. Kleefisch enjoys the support of former Vice President Mike Pence, causing this race to echo the recent gubernatorial primary in Arizona, where the former running mates also supported different candidates. As with several primary races this year, this one has been interpreted as part of a “ proxy war ” between Trump and the Republican establishment to shape the future of the party. As of Wednesday, Trump’s endorsement record sits at 172-10.

General Mark Milley once warned former President Donald Trump 's advisers that they could be tried for war crimes during a heated discussion about military activity against Iran, according to a new book. Trump appointed Milley to serve as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in December 2018, but multiple disagreements throughout his tenure quickly strained their relationship, according to an excerpt published in The New Yorker on Monday from the book, The Divider: Trump in the White House, 2017-2021 , by Susan B. Glasser and Peter Baker. The excerpt outlined the tense relationship between Trump and his generals , who often found themselves at odds with the ex-president over what they viewed as misuses of the military. These concerns included his plans to send the military in to stop protests in the summer of 2020 following the police murder of George Floyd , and concerns he would start unnecessary wars. After months of frustration, Milley eventually viewed his role … [Read more...] about General warned Trump’s actions could get admin tried as war criminals: Book

A major pharmaceutical company based in Indiana has spoken out against the state's near-total abortion ban, which was signed into law on Friday. Eli Lilly and Company, the pharmaceutical giant known for producing drugs like Prozac and Cymbalta, was founded in 1876 in Indianapolis, where its headquarters remain to this day. On Saturday, the company released a statement pushing back against the state's draconian new abortion laws, saying that it would be "forced" to pursue more growth and employment outside of its home state. "Lilly recognizes that abortion is a divisive and deeply personal issue with no clear consensus among the citizens of Indiana," the statement read. "Despite this lack of agreement, Indiana has opted to quickly adopt one of the most restrictive anti-abortion laws in the United States. We are concerned that this law will hinder Lilly's - and Indiana's ability to attract diverse scientific, engineering, and business talent from around the world." Eli Lilly … [Read more...] about Eli Lilly says Indiana abortion ban will spur it to hire outside home state

This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 6 MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes grew up in Milwaukee with a mom who was a public school teacher and a father who worked in a factory — both union members, an important credential in a state where the labor movement is still a force. At 35, Barnes is nearly half the age of the average U.S. senator, and would join a tiny group of Black senators — and be the first from Wisconsin — if he wins election to the chamber. That biography stands to turn Barnes into one of the most prominent Democrats in the U.S. this year as the party aims to defeat one of its top targets: Republican Sen. Ron Johnson. His ouster is such a priority that Barnes’ top Democratic rivals dropped out of the primary in recent weeks to rally around him, leaving Tuesday’s primary as mostly a formality ahead of what’s certain to be a brutal and expensive general election campaign. “I … [Read more...] about Dems look ahead to Barnes in fall race against Ron Johnson

When the initial votes in Arizona started rolling in Tuesday night and Kari Lake was trailing, she and her fellow MAGA allies resorted to a familiar election-night tactic: They cried foul. But overnight, Lake made up the ground she’d lost to Karrin Taylor Robson, her main rival for Arizona’s GOP nomination for governor. Now, on the cusp of winning the hotly contested primary, Lake and her allies found themselves squirming to explain how the election she was on track to win was still, somehow, as corrupt and fraudulent as they’d already claimed it was. “There is no path to victory for my opponent, and we won this race, period,” Lake proudly declared to a group of supporters, but that didn’t stop her from cautioning them that fraud was occurring. “But there’s a ton of problems with the system,” the candidate warned, before immediately predicting victory again. “We are going to win this when the votes are counted,” the candidate said. “We are not going to take our election … [Read more...] about Kari Lake Cried Foul at Election Results.
