Republican senators Lindsey Graham, Chuck Grassley, and Mike Lee are among those who voted for Democrat nominees.

During a Monday White House event, Biden told reporters he would inform the American public “real soon” about his reelection plans.“I told you I’m planning on running. I’ll let you know real soon,” Biden said. His remarks came amid speculation that Biden could announce his reelection effort as soon as this week.
In a scathing statement, Trump attacked Biden for his track record on the economy and foreign policy, among other things.

A short time later, CNN announced that CNN This Morning co-host Don Lemon was fired as well. During CBS Evening News's coverage of both developments, anchor Norah O'Donnell resorted to labeling Fox News as a conservative network, while seeing no need to use the liberal label for CNN.
While it's accurate to label Fox a conservative network in terms of its opinion-side programming, it wasn't honest or fair reporting to refuse to label CNN a liberal network

National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) chairman Sen. Steve Daines (R-MT) on Monday endorsed former President Donald Trump for president in 2024, a major additional pickup for the former president amid several major endorsements he has racked up lately.

“I was shocked. I’m surprised. He’s a very good person a very good man and very talented and he had very high ratings,” Trump said during an interview on Newsmax that aired late Monday. “He’s been terrific especially over the last year or so he’s been terrific to me.”
Fox sent shockwaves through the media and political ecosystem on Monday morning
With his shock exit from Fox News on Monday, Tucker Carlson becomes the hottest free agent in cable news.
The 53-year-old has dramatically left Fox following a series of recent controversies - and only learned he was out hours before network's announcement. But the anchor, who reportedly earned upwards of $10 million per year as host of Tucker Carlson Tonight, is unlikely to be off screens for long.
A long line of cable news outlets and media organizations, including Newsmax and NewsNation, are already eyeing up Carlson, hoping to recruit America's best-known political commentator.
Popular conservative pundit Dan Bongino reacted with shock upon learning that Fox News parted ways with top-rated host Tucker Carlson.
“I’m stunned. I don’t even know what to say right now,” Bongino, who himself recently split with Fox News, said as his podcast, “The Dan Bongino Show,” was airing live on Monday.Moments earlier, Bongino said he had “actual goosebumps” after learning the news and receiving multiple text messages from people following Carlson’s departure.

There’s all kinds of drama popping in regard to the “parting of the ways” between Tucker Carlson and Fox. Not to mention CNN and Don Lemon, with Lemon already screaming and throwing them under the bus, and CNN saying he isn’t telling the truth about what happened. I can’t imagine between CNN and Lemon who people would trust less — it would be a tough call.Anyway, as all that’s going on, Joe Biden is continuing to deteriorate.

Newsmax is pleased about Tucker Carlson's departure from Fox News, saying his exit will drive more of Fox's viewers to the cable news channel and other conservative media outlets.
"For a while, Fox News has been moving to become establishment media, and Tucker Carlson's removal is a big milestone in that effort," Newsmax Media CEO Christopher Ruddy told Newsweek. "Millions of viewers who liked the old Fox News have made the switch to Newsmax, and this will only fuel that trend."

Don Lemon was terminated from his anchor role at CNN, he announced Monday.
The news comes after Variety published a story earlier this month on allegations that he mistreated his female colleagues over the course of his career there.

The pro-legal weed Hochul administration is quietly trying to fire up support for a complete ban on the sale of tobacco products in New York, The Post has learned.
The state Health Department commissioned a new survey aimed at gauging support for an all-out prohibition — despite Gov. Hochul’s failure to secure support from state legislators to include a ban on menthol cigarettes and other flavored tobacco products in the yet-to-be-approved state budget.

I love my electric car. I really do. I love how I never have to buy gas. I love how it glides quietly up the street. I love that it has so much pickup that I can easily blow past gas-powered muscle cars if I want to. I love having stickers that allow me to drive solo in the HOV lanes. I love that routine maintenance consists of little more than rotating the tires. But after three years, I am thinking seriously of trading it in for the gas-powered hybrid plug-in version. Why? Because as much as I love my
Presidential primaries get very dirty, and that’s to be expected.
But here in April 2023, the GOP one has already descended into a disgusting spiral of lies and insanity — because of the increasingly disordered and amateurish Donald Trump campaign. Trump has a clear lane in the primary.
He has a record of accomplishment as president; he led the country to prosperity that has since sharply declined; he exposes the politicization and corruption of our government agencies when he’s personally targeted by leftist activist district attorneys like Alvin Bragg and when he is the subject of a baseless search for documents at his home.

Everybody is up in arms about Tucker Carlson’s and Fox News’ split.
Lots of rumors regarding why it happened are floating around, and as with all breaking news stories you should wait for a bit before you trust anything anybody says. “Inside sources” or outright speculations are unreliable. Was it Dominion? Was it Tucker wanting to defend himself? Was it something else?
I don’t know and only a small circle of people so far do. And even they will probably have diverging views.
What interests me is how Tucker is a very different kind of media voice and one who can’t easily fit at any cable news station.
Washington — Susan Rice, one of President Biden's most trusted aides and his top domestic policy official, will be leaving the administration next month in what will mark one of the most high-profile departures from his administration, the White House announced Monday.

Rice served as national security adviser and United Nations ambassador under former President Barack Obama. In a statement, Mr. Biden praised Rice's tenure, highlighting her pivotal role in advancing his agenda.
