"I can't think of any other modern example of a presidential candidate hawking an array of goods for their private benefit," Fischer said. The website for the Bibles says it has no link to Trump's campaign. It instead uses Trump's name, likeness and image under paid license from a company called CIC Ventures LLC. Lessig noted that Trump's business moves do not appear to be violating campaign ethics or financial rules. A Trump campaign spokesman did not immediately respond to CNBC's request for comment.

Kari Lake filed a public records lawsuit against Maricopa County, Ariz., over the election, per AP. Lake, who ran for governor, has flagged several voting issues as ones that disenfranchised voters. Maricopa, the most populous county in the state, is set to certify its election results on Monday. Lake, a former television journalist, was edged out by Arizona Democratic Secretary of State Katie Hobbs in the general election 50.3%-49.7%. But Lake, who has refused to acknowledge Biden's 2020 win in Arizona, has so far declined to concede to Hobbs.

Republican Kari Lake said she'd serve as Arizona's governor for "eight years" if elected to office. Lake's name has circulated among Republicans as a potential running mate for Trump should he run in 2024. "I'm going to serve eight years as governor of Arizona," Lake said in response to Karl's inquiry about whether she'd serve out a full term in office. When Karl pressed Lake further about what she'd do if Trump asked her to be his No. Earlier this month, Hobbs campaign manager Nicole DeMont in a statement explained why the Democratic gubernatorial nominee would not be sharing a stage with Lake.

Tim Michels, the Republican nominee in Wisconsin’s race for governor, can’t keep his messaging straight on abortion rights — a top issue in the state and nationally. But in recent days, he has done just that — offering support for policies less hard-line than the 1849 law, while continuing to insist his position hadn't changed. The remark stands in stark contrast to comments Michels made during the primary, too, when he called the law an “exact mirror" of his own personal position on abortion rights. While Michels’ latest comment appears to further soften his position on abortion, the governor doesn’t actually have the power to arrest or charge anyone under the 1849 or any other law. In September, just days after pledging to not soften his position, Michels said he would support an abortion ban that includes exceptions for pregnancies resulting from rape or incest.
