During his short campaign, Trump has dominated headlines by dining with the rapper Ye, who has gone on antisemitic tirades in recent weeks, and the white nationalist Nick Fuentes. And on Tuesday night, Herschel Walker’s loss in a Georgia Senate runoff added an exclamation point to the argument that Trump hurt the GOP by picking a bad crop of candidates in swing states. They just think he’s the future, but Trump is the present.”Still, Trump hasn’t offered much in the way of a new vision for the country.

Cohen in September predicted that Attorney General Letitia James' $250 million civil lawsuit against the Trump Organization will "ultimately terminate" the company.

Attending a summit meeting in Bali when the missile hit Poland, Biden quickly arranged the meeting with the leaders of France, Germany, Canada and other allies. Most of the leaders in attendance have agreed to sign on, a Biden administration official said. “We, of course, are ready to stand with our NATO allies and partners,” Vedant Patel, a State Department spokesman, told reporters. NATO, and the mutual defense obligation that underlies it, was nearly a casualty of the Trump administration. They’re still looking for him.” Left unsaid was that as president, Trump skipped summit meetings with Asian leaders in 2018, sending Vice President Mike Pence in his place.

More Republicans say they would prefer DeSantis to be their 2024 nominee over Trump. After the GOP's lackluster midterm election results, Trump has received criticism from within the party. 42% of Republicans and Republican-leaners said they would prefer to see the Florida governor as the nominee, compared with 35% saying they would prefer the former president, according to a new YouGov America poll. The poll, conducted in the three days following the elections, is a reversal from the results of a Yahoo News/YouGov poll last month, when 45% said they'd prefer Trump and 35% said they'd prefer DeSantis. While DeSantis beat out Trump overall, scoring higher among "not very strong Republicans" and those that "lean towards" the GOP, Trump still edged him out among "strong Republicans," with 45% favoring him compared with 43% for DeSantis.

Ron to the Rescue will be launching before Thanksgiving, Thomas told Insider, and would begin producing ads and "start making some noise for the governor."

Donald Trump told a rally crowd he'd "very, very, very probably" run for president in 2024. It's his strongest signal yet he will go ahead with his long-teased 2024 presidential bid. At a rally in Iowa, Trump told supporters that he'd "very, very, very probably do it again" in 2024. (While both of those observations are true, Trump still won fewer votes than Biden, with 74.2 million votes to Biden's 81.3 million, amid record turnout from voters.) Some analysts believe that Trump will likely announce his candidacy after the midterms, and seek to capitalize on any Republican successes.

Steve Bannon was sentenced to four months behind bars and a $6,500 fine on Friday for his contempt of Congress conviction. Bannon left the Trump administration in 2017. Following Bannon’s indictment last fall, other Trump allies appeared to take the consequences of blowing off the Jan. 6 committee more seriously. It was yet another astounding act from a president unbridled by any sense of the responsibility the office carries. While these statements do not prove his guilt, they certainly place him in a circle of possible co-conspirators.

With the term “personal taxes,” however, Mr. Garten appears to be conflating income taxes with other federal taxes Mr. Trump has paid — Social Security, Medicare and taxes for his household employees. Fragments of Mr. Trump’s tax returns have leaked out before. Mr. Agalarov’s father, Aras, a billionaire who boasts of close ties to Mr. Putin, was Mr. Trump’s partner in the event. Mr. Trump’s avoidance of income taxes is one of the most striking discoveries in his tax returns, especially given the vast wash of income itemized elsewhere in those filings. When they got to line 56, the one for income taxes due, the amount was the same each year: $750.
