[1/3] Republican U.S. presidential candidate former Vice President Mike Pence addresses The Faith and Freedom Coalition's 2023 "Road to Majority" conference in Washington, U.S., June 23, 2023. The event, which former President Donald Trump will address on Saturday, coincides with the first anniversary of the Supreme Court's landmark Dobbs decision, which overturned the 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling that had legalized abortion. Apart from Pence, the other Republican candidates did not plunge deeply into policy specifics. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who is second in opinion polls to the front-runner Trump, referred to a six-week abortion ban that he signed in his state earlier this year. Trump has attempted to ally himself with opponents of abortion rights, while also dodging specific questions on legislation he would or would not support.

Trump, the clear frontrunner in the race for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination, was also endorsed by North Carolina Lt. Gov. As if to drive home that point, the same crowd that cheered Robinson also loudly booed another GOP presidential candidate, former New Jersey Gov. Reschenthaler, the House Republican chief deputy whip, is the second member of the chamber's GOP leadership to endorse Trump after House Republican Conference Chair Rep. Elise Stefanik of New York. Ron DeSantis, Trump's nearest Republican primary competitor, has so far amassed five congressional endorsements. Polls of the GOP primary field showed Trump widening his lead after his first indictment.

Christie cited DeSantis' battle with Disney as the GOP aiming "small," in the "Ruthless" podcast. Ron DeSantis this week over his bitter crusade against Walt Disney World as an example of the party wasting its time on "small" political issues. DeSantis also passed policies into law that coincide with the policies Christie cited, such as making school vouchers universally available in Florida. Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley urged Walt Disney World to consider relocating from Florida to South Carolina. Later in the podcast, when asked to provide a one-word thought about DeSantis, Christie chose "interesting."

Chris Christie said Tuesday that U.S. leaders "need to deal with Social Security" and vowed not to shy away from entitlement reform if he becomes the 2024 Republican presidential nominee. "We have to look at things like means testing for the very wealthy [who] don't need to get Social Security," Christie said on CNBC's "Squawk Box." "You have to revitalize the economy to bring more growth, and secondly you have to reduce spending," Christie said. And "we need to deal with Social Security," Christie said, noting that the program is scheduled to be unable to pay full benefits starting in 2034. Strong majorities of U.S. adults across the political spectrum consistently say they oppose cutting Medicare and Social Security benefits.

A person close to Cohen told CNBC that Cohen has yet to donate to either Christie's campaign or the allied super PAC called Tell It Like It Is. Cohen has no immediate plans to help Christie or get involved with the GOP primary at large, but his intentions could always change, this person added. Wall Street executive and former Trump communications director Anthony Scaramucci previously told Semafor he expected Cohen to support Christie. Colin Reed, a spokesman for the Christie super PAC, would not say who has donated to the group so far and only described the funding support as "overwhelming." The data also shows that Cohen later contributed $1 million toward Trump's inaugural celebration — at a time when Christie also publicly supported Trump.

CNN —Former President Donald Trump’s support appears to have softened following his indictment and arrest on federal charges, according to a new CNN poll conducted by SSRS. Most Americans approve of Trump’s indictment stemming from his alleged mishandling of classified documents after leaving office, even as 71% say politics played a role in that charging decision. Overall, 47% of Republicans and Republican-leaning registered voters say Trump is their first choice for the party’s nomination for president, down from 53% in a May CNN poll. A 54% majority of Republican and Republican-leaning voters say that Trump’s conduct doesn’t matter much to them as they consider his candidacy, because a president’s effectiveness matters more. Most Republican and Republican-leaning voters who support Trump for the nomination say he did nothing wrong in this case (58%) and just 3% that he acted illegally.

Several Republican 2024 presidential hopefuls criticized Donald Trump Sunday as the former president faces 37 federal counts for allegedly hoarding documents after he left the White House. "He's a petulant child when someone disagrees with him," Christie told CNN's "State of the Union" Sunday. Presidential hopeful and former Vice President Mike Pence said it is "premature" to say whether or not he would pardon Trump were he to be convicted. "All we know is what the president has been accused of in the indictment," Pence told NBC's "Meet the Press" Sunday. But Trump had a supporter on Sunday in Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy who has said the former president should be pardoned if convicted.

His ties to former Donald Trump helped foster relationships with companies, per the Times. One such company was sports betting site DraftKings, the Times reported. Christie asserts that his time working with the company did not overlap with his time working with Trump. Sports betting companies like DraftKings also paid Christie thousands to advise and lobby their interests. One unnamed source told the outlet that one company, Scientific Games, paid Christie $30,000 a month as a consultant in 2018.

Washington CNN —Republican presidential candidate Chris Christie said Sunday it was a “useless idea” to force 2024 GOP contenders to sign a pledge to back the party’s ultimate nominee in order to participate in primary debates. “It’s only in the era of Donald Trump that you need somebody to sign something on a pledge. Trump, as a candidate in 2015, did not rule out an independent run for president at a debate in Cleveland. He ultimately signed a pledge to support the party’s eventual nominee and to not run as a third-party candidate if he did not win the GOP nomination. The RNC announced earlier this month that the first presidential primary debate will take place on August 23 in Milwaukee.

We’re looking back at the strongest, smartest opinion takes of the week from CNN and other outlets. Photos included in the 38-count indictment of former President Donald Trump and his aide Walt Nauta show bankers boxes stacked in a bathroom and other parts of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club. Trump has always hung onto news clippings, documents and other mementos,” The New York Times reported. “Trump is chaotic and unpredictable in a way that could lead other Republicans to believe that there is a chance he won’t make it to the convention. As Zelizer noted, “Trump has denied wrongdoing, claiming he is being unfairly targeted.”But “given this unusual context, Republicans have legitimate reasons to think that there could be an upset.

On Thursday, Miami Mayor Francis Suarez announced that he is running alongside 12 other Republican candidates. Unlike the crowded 1976 Democratic primaries or the 2016 Republican primaries, which turned into a WWE-style battle royal of aspiring presidents, there is a clear frontrunner this time around: Trump. And despite his invincible self-image, Republicans know that Trump can lose — he was defeated in 2020 and Republicans under his banner did poorly in the 2018 and 2022 midterms. Like President Joe Biden, Trump is relatively old for a US president, having turned 77 on Wednesday. Republicans understand that while Trump remains the leading contender, there is a desire and a need for younger leaders to step up.

CNN —Miami GOP Mayor Francis Suarez has filed paperwork to run for president, according to new FEC filings, marking the long-shot candidate’s formal entry to the race. “Conservative mayor Francis Suarez chose a better path for Miami,” the video’s narrator says, highlighting his approach to crime and support for law enforcement. High-profile mayorPrior to his first election as mayor in 2017, Suarez served a Miami city commissioner for eight years. As mayor, Suarez has sought to bring a new era of technology, innovation and entrepreneurship to his city, including promoting industries such as cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence. In 2020, Trump lost Hispanic-majority Miami-Dade County – the state’s most populous county, which includes the city of Miami – by 7 points.

Former Vice President Mike Pence said Wednesday he could not defend the criminal allegations against Donald Trump, his former boss and current campaign rival, in a federal indictment charging the ex-president with mishandling classified documents. "This indictment contains serious charges, and I cannot defend what is alleged," Pence said on CNBC's "Squawk Box." Trump is charged with willfully retaining national defense information, conspiracy to obstruct justice, concealing documents and making false statements. Pence fell out with Trump after he refused to aid the former president's efforts to overturn his 2020 loss to President Joe Biden. Pence reiterated his call for new leadership and imbued his thoughts on Trump's indictment with campaign rhetoric.

In this account, the “deep state” has always had it in for Mr. Trump, targeting him for things that other officials, especially Democrats, get away with. “If you’re Donald Trump, they’re going to come get you for anything,” Byron Donalds, a Florida congressman, said on CNN on Tuesday. In contrast, it has taken the government more than a year to get the hundreds of classified documents Mr. Trump took from the White House. Even now, it would be foolish to assume that everything in Mr. Trump’s possession has been turned over. And what of Mrs. Clinton, against whom Mr. Trump still seems to believe he is running, seven years later?

Former US President Donald Trump arrives to deliver remarks at Trump National Golf Club Bedminster in Bedminster, New Jersey, on June 13, 2023. That sort of comment is further than where many of Trump's rivals for the GOP presidential nomination will go publicly. Still, even out in the open, there are indications that they believe this federal indictment is far more serious than the last one. But the Trump indictment took over, with participants expressing deep concern about backlash and the party's fracturing beyond repair. On one hand, if Trump's GOP rivals blast him, they risk further alienating his committed GOP supporters.

Trump has long accused it and the U.S. Justice Department of being out to get him. Trump's closest rival for the nomination, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, decried the "weaponization" of federal bureaucracy after Trump's indictment. Haley said Trump had acted recklessly, although she also said the FBI and Justice Department had "lost all credibility with the American people." None of the Republican president campaigns responded to requests for comment about their criticism of federal law enforcement and calls for an overhaul. A spokesman for the Justice Department, which oversees the FBI, declined to comment.

CNN —Republican Chris Christie is hoping the second time’s the charm when it comes to White House runs. He’s not alone among the major Republican contenders polling south of 5% on average – seven others also fit the description. It’s not unheard of for candidates polling below 5% (or even at 1%) at this point in the cycle to win their party’s nomination. lies with the two candidates polling above 5%: former President Donald Trump and Florida Gov. Upon officially declaring his bid, he jumped into the double digits in the Republican horserace and saw his unfavorable ratings decline.

The 37 federal charges against former President Donald Trump were unsealed on Friday. Trump announced the indictment on Truth Social and has been pushing his narrative since Thursday. While his team feels good about their response to the charges, that does not mean he's off the hook. While that puts him at a public relations advantage over special counsel Jack Smith, it doesn't mean he's clear of serious legal peril. And if Trump is convicted, the judge has a large say, within the guidelines, of whether he ever sees prison time.

Chris Christie, once a Donald Trump ally, called the facts of the federal indictment "devastating." Christie is one of two 2024 GOP rivals not to defend Trump following these new allegations. On Friday evening, Christie was one of two rivals not to defend Trump over the 37-count indictment against the former president. During the 2016 primaries, Christie dropped out and roughly two weeks later endorsed then-candidate Trump — the first GOP governor to do so — ahead of Super Tuesday. Christie is now running against Trump in the 2024 GOP primary.

Trump hits campaign trail as indictment roils 2024 race
  + stars: | 2023-06-10 | by ( Eric Bradner | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +6 min
CNN —Former President Donald Trump is set to return to the campaign trail Saturday, traveling to Georgia and North Carolina for speeches at a pair of state Republican conventions as news of his federal indictment roils the party’s 2024 presidential race. The pre-planned stops come the day after the Justice Department unsealed its indictment laying out the government’s case that Trump and aide Walt Nauta mishandled classified national security documents. The visits will give Trump a chance to respond to the charges in a campaign-style as he mounts battles on both the political and legal fronts. So far, Trump has cast his prosecution as a politically motivated effort to stop his bid for the presidency. In March, the Manhattan district attorney in New York indicted Trump on charges related to hush-money payments to a former adult star.

"In the end, they're not coming after me, they're coming after you -- and I'm just standing in their way," Trump will say, according to his prepared remarks. The indictment alleges Trump not only withheld classified documents but lied to federal agents and investigators about his involvement. "The weaponization of federal law enforcement represents a mortal threat to a free society," Florida Gov. He said the details of the Trump indictment is "devastating." Trump was also set to speak at the North Carolina Republican Party's annual convention on Saturday night.

DOJ will seek incarceration for Trump, a national security attorney and former US prosecutor say. McClanahan said evidence in the indictment was laid out to show "that this is a kingpin who knowingly broke the law, endangered national security, endangered nuclear weapon security, endangered other countries' national security." In this case, that looks likely to be US District Judge Aileen Cannon, who Trump appointed. It's more likely that, if convicted, he'd be sentenced to house arrest with an ankle monitor, McClanahan said. "Trump can share that information that is in his head whether he is incarcerated or not incarcerated," she said.
