Trump has been “heavily working the phones” to Republican senators for their support on behalf of Gaetz, according to a transition official. Trump announced Gaetz as his pick nearly a week ago. The official said Trump’s transition knows Gaetz is the toughest confirmation they will have to fight for by far. Sen. Kevin Cramer, R-ND, said he had received a phone call from Trump personally urging him to support Gaetz. This year, Trump announced his first pick to be White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles just two days after election day.

Mike Huckabee as the U.S. ambassador to Israel, a high-profile diplomatic posting in a tumultuous region. On the campaign trail, Trump, a close ally of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, has vowed to put an end to the conflict. “I am pleased to announce that the Highly Respected former Governor of Arkansas, Mike Huckabee, has been nominated to be The United States Ambassador to Israel,” Trump said in a statement. He loves Israel, and the people of Israel, and likewise, the people of Israel love him. Huckabee's daughter, the current Arkansas governor and a former Trump administration official, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, was also a top surrogate for Trump.

Trump is also wary of special elections to replace sitting lawmakers, especially in the Senate. has conveyed that he is not interested in entering the Trump administration, according to three sources familiar with the decision. Sessions, an adviser to Trump in 2016, was one of his earliest supporters when Trump elevated him from the Senate to run his Justice Department. The special election to replace him also turned into a centerpiece of Democratic organizing against Trump. Though the GOP won the special election narrowly, Republicans lost Price's congressional seat in the midterms and then watched Georgia turn blue in 2020.

President-elect Donald Trump on Thursday named co-campaign chair Susie Wiles as his White House first chief of staff, one of the most important non-elected posts in Washington. “Susie Wiles just helped me achieve one of the greatest political victories in American history, and was an integral part of both my 2016 and 2020 successful campaigns,” Trump said in a statement Thursday. After Trump’s resounding victory Tuesday over Vice President Kamala Harris, there was an overwhelming sense that Wiles was the frontrunner to be White House chief of staff. “I’m told you know something about Florida,” Trump told Wiles when they first spoke on the phone, NBC News reported in March. Response to Wiles’ hire as chief of staff was overwhelmingly positive from Republicans.

If chosen, Wiles would become the first female White House chief of staff in history. “The team of rivals concept did not apply here.”"Susie is as good as they get," a second Trump campaign official said. A third Trump campaign official said Wiles is already playing the de-facto chief of staff role and that staffers widely want her to get the job. “She would be everybody’s number one pick, but it’s his decision,” the first campaign official said. Other names actively under consideration for the White House chief of staff role include Brooke Rollins, a former top White House aide to Trump who now leads the Trump-aligned America First Policy Institute, and former House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy.

Vice President Kamala Harris has won Nebraska’s 2nd Congressional District, NBC News projects, earning an electoral vote from a red state. The historically competitive 2nd District, which includes Omaha and the surrounding suburban areas, has oscillated between Democratic and Republican representation (and presidential winners) in recent years. Nebraska is one of two states that allocates its electoral votes by congressional district. I’m voting for Harris.”Trump’s allies failed in their effort to change Nebraska’s electoral vote allocation back to a winner-take-all system. In a state that has leaned Republican going back decades, had lawmakers reverted to that model, Trump would have captured all five of the state’s electoral votes.

According to the same polls, boomer men supported Trump over Harris 57% to 39% while boomer women chose Harris 52% to 43%. On Monday, Trump, at a battleground on the eve of Election Day, invited Lara Trump and his daughter Tiffany to the stage. The Trump campaign has been pointing to partisan turnout numbers as evidence that he is building an advantage with early voting. Since 1980, nearly every presidential election has seen a split, which in recent decades has shown Democrats winning with women voters. This was the case in 2016, when Hillary Clinton led women by double digits, and in 2020, when President Joe Biden won women voters as well.

Regardless of who wins Tuesday’s election, a key fixture of America’s political landscape for nearly a decade is set to disappear: the Trump rally. “It’s coming to an end,” Trump said in a phone interview with NBC News on Sunday. For his millions of supporters, Trump rallies have been a gathering place with thousands of other like-minded Americans. Torabi is best known for his popular Twitter account, where his clips of Trump rallies frequently go viral. “So tomorrow I’m doing three rallies and on Monday I’m going to do four rallies in one day,” Trump said.

In the vast majority of independent surveys in New Mexico, Virginia and New Hampshire in recent weeks, Trump has trailed by more than 5 points. A second Trump campaign official who was granted anonymity to speak freely said that if it is going to a state, it’s because the campaign sees movement there. Since 2020, states like Arizona have shown rightward movement that potentially bodes well for Trump, Blair said. Trump doesn't have time to waste at this stage of the race, the second campaign official said. Both spoke at Trump's New York rally, and Gabbard joined Trump days earlier in North Carolina, a swing state.

The 2020 campaign may have also suffered from a lack of imagination about how big the turnout would be and what Democrats were doing in the courts to expand the vote, a Trump campaign adviser said. Other familiar names from 2020 election lawsuits have been spotted this year too. One is Karen DiSalvo, who after the 2020 election helped force an audit in Lycoming County, Pennsylvania. The RNC and Trump campaign have focused what they call their election integrity effort on 18 states including the key swing states. An RNC lawsuit in Michigan challenging voter registration procedures is one of the cases the firm has worked on.

Donald Trump pumps his fist as he is rushed offstage during a rally in Butler, Pa., on July 13. "Kamala has failed over the last four years and only President Donald J. Trump can fix the problems that are facing our nation," Trump campaign senior adviser Danielle Alvarez said in a statement of the closing argument. “Under Harris’ time in the White House, our nation’s strength has been squandered," a Trump campaign adviser said. But there's a tension between the focus Trump’s campaign has kept on those issues and his desire to wander into different territory. Only President Trump cut middle-class taxes, and only President Trump will do it again.”Brad Todd, a Republican strategist who isn’t working for Trump, said the spot "does a great job of channeling the overarching current that can push him over the line" by arguing that "America's on the wrong track and you can't keep the same people in charge."

Zients also made clear that President Joe Biden had directed the Secret Service to provide the highest level of protection for Trump, the source said. A subsequent letter from Wiles to acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe reviewed by NBC News confirmed several of the campaign’s requests. The Trump campaign also requested that special operations forces be assigned to protect Trump, according to two U.S. officials. A defense official told NBC News that the “department continues to provide enhanced support to the U.S. Secret Service” for the presidential and vice presidential candidates. Another source said Trump is receiving the same level of protection as Biden, so the campaign should not expect more.

But Putin is not the only foreign leader Trump is talking to. And it is hardly unusual for a presidential nominee to begin holding some talks with foreign leaders. After the first attempt to assassinate Trump, in July, foreign leaders quickly moved to offer him their well-wishes. Trump has hosted Netanyahu and his wife, Sara, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, former Japanese Prime Minister Taro Aso and former British Prime Minister David Cameron when he was the U.K.’s foreign secretary. Katulis was referring to the trove of classified documents Trump kept from his time in office that have become the subject of a criminal case, many of them about his communications with foreign leaders.

Woodward makes the claims in his forthcoming book, “War,” a dramatic account of the White House under President Joe Biden and Trump that details elements of their relationships with foreign leaders. The book details how Trump’s relationship with Putin has continued as he mounts another bid for the White House and amid the ongoing war in Ukraine. The aide, who loitered in a hallway outside while the two spoke, told Woodward that Trump and Putin have had “maybe as many as seven” phone calls since Trump left office in 2021. “But that’s not going to happen, ultimately, not going to happen until President Trump wins on November 5th and it’s clear that he’s coming in,” Miller said, according to the author. Trump has referred to Putin as "very savvy" and a "strong man" and praised Russia's invasion of Ukraine as "genius."

Former President Donald Trump is finally gearing up for an all-out sprint in his bid to reclaim the White House. For Trump, the frequent campaigning is not without challenges, with both candidates receiving unprecedented levels of security after the two attempts to assassinate Trump. Looking ahead to the final month before Election Day, the Trump campaign anticipates two to three rallies per week, a couple of smaller policy-focused events, retail stops at local stores and town halls hosted by campaign surrogates, a Trump campaign official familiar with the planning said. “Nobody in the game of politics works harder than President Trump especially in the fourth quarter,” Trump campaign national press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement to NBC News. “President Trump and Senator Vance will continue to outpace Harris and Walz in the media, and bring their winning message to make America wealthy, safe, and strong again to voters across the country.”

Vice President Kamala Harris is meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy during a trip to the U.S., while former President Donald Trump isn’t, highlighting the growing partisan division over a key foreign policy issue. “The president of Ukraine is in our country, and he’s making little nasty aspersions toward your favorite president, me,” Trump said Wednesday in North Carolina. “Every time Zelenskyy comes to the United States, he walks away with $100 billion,” Trump said Tuesday in Georgia. “I want the war to stop,” Trump when he was pressed during his only debate with Harris. A senior Trump administration official echoed Trump to say the circumstances of any future settlement deal grow more fraught by the day.

Cabinet secretaries came and went in a Trump administration marked by head-spinning turnover. McMaster and John Kelly, all of whom were generals before they took high-ranking positions in the Trump administration. Another post that would loom large in a Trump administration is that of secretary of homeland security. Advisers to Trump’s transition include his sons Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump. Trump’s transition team is assembling small teams of people who would help shepherd nominees through to Senate confirmation.

When Vice President Kamala Harris took the reins of the Democratic nomination in late July, something happened in North Carolina. Part of the Harris campaign strategy in North Carolina, according to a campaign official, includes attempting to bulk up turnout not just among Black voters but among women in and around the suburbs. For the week after Harris became the presumptive nominee, there was a 61.5% increase in voter registration among North Carolina women. Bonier takes all of this to point to a higher turnout of Democratic voters in North Carolina. “The way you win statewide in North Carolina,” he said, “is you win on the margins.”

Donald Trump is facing calls both from his allies and from within his own campaign to pull his endorsement from scandal-plagued North Carolina gubernatorial candidate Mark Robinson, according to four people familiar with the discussions. “North Carolina is a vital part of that plan. Additionally, Republican members of the North Carolina congressional delegation, including Sens. Ted Budd and Thom Tillis, and Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Whatley, who is from North Carolina, planned to privately urge Trump to pull his endorsement of Robinson, according to a person familiar with the conversations. Recent polling has had Trump in a statistical dead heat with Vice President Kamala Harris in the state, at roughly 48%.

Davis, whose group is running the ads, has echoed the charges from Trump and insisted that the federal government isn't doing enough to stop noncitizens from voting. In a statement, Davis accused politicians of courting illegal votes and attacked states he said were refusing to enforce the law against noncitizens’ voting. “Left-wing radicals in Congress are blocking the SAVE Act, which would protect our federal elections from noncitizens voting. “We are doing a public service by informing people that only citizens can vote in federal elections. Latino voters increasingly support greater immigration control, with recent polls finding a rise in the group agreeing with GOP calls for more border security.

He said their rhetoric is responsible for threats and violence against him, even though they routinely denounce political violence and did so on Sunday. In turning so fast to Biden and Harris, Trump skipped past appeals for sympathy and even a perfunctory call for calm or unity. The Secret Service fired at a suspect, who fled and was quickly apprehended by police. "I am thankful that former President Trump is safe." The area around Trump International Golf Club was secured after an apparent assassination attempt on Donald Trump in West Palm Beach, Fla., on Sunday.

Trump’s campaign said before the debate that he had already accepted debate invitations from Fox News and NBC News, and that Harris had not. Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, Trump said he would participate in debates with NBC News or Fox News. Fresh off the perceived win, pushing Harris into several debates seemed like a strategic goal for Trump, and Harris rebuffed a request for one on Fox News in early September. Harris has not accepted a second debate with Trump, but her campaign appeared more open on Wednesday. “But the most important indication here is that Harris failed to explain why she hasn’t already done the things she claims she cares about.

WASHINGTON — Allies of Donald Trump see Tuesday's debate as a pivotal moment for the Republican presidential nominee — a chance to shore up support and turn the corner from Kamala Harris' post-nomination "honeymoon." Trump allies are hopeful that the debate will cap a turnaround from the recent weeks of tumult and help him enter the fall on a competitive footing. “Everyone on Team Trump firmly believes that we’re better-positioned to win,” said a source close to Trump. Harris poses a different set of challenges for Trump on the debate stage. “The Democrats and the Harris campaign have done an amazing job at messaging and hitting at the right time.

Trump’s allies are also publicly making their pitch for him to refocus his attention on the race. “You’ve always got to be assessing the state of the race, and I would like to see more offense from the Trump campaign. On a swing of battleground states last week, Harris and her new running mate were greeted by a groundswell of supporters at each stop. "This was a TRUMP idea — She has no ideas, she can only steal from me," Trump wrote on Truth Social. In an appearance on Real America’s Voice last week, Trump’s political director, James Blair, made the case that it is a state-by-state race.
