One of Donald Trump's rivals for the 2024 Republican nomination has backed the former president over charges for illegally retaining classified documents, while another called on him to drop out of the race. Vivek Ramaswamy, who announced his candidacy for president in February, slammed the federal charges against Trump that are expected to be filed next week in federal court in Miami, saying it demonstrated 'two tiers of justice'. 'I never thought we'd see the day when the U.S. President deputizes the DOJ to arrest his lead rival in the middle of an election,' Ramaswamy said in a statement after the news broke if the impending legal challenge.

Limp, low-T males like Asa Hutchinson are a big problem in this country, in the Republican Party. Trump, Ron DiSantis and Vivek Ramaswamy are the only GOP candidates who seem concerned with the corruption and bias at the Department of Justice.

I know it WON'T happen, but what every GOP Presidential Contender except for President Trump should do is drop out of the race and endorse President Trump for the GOP Nomination and the Presidency. Heck, it isn't time to just DRAIN the swamp, its time to flush it clean with a couple of super-tankers full of Clorox bleach as well.

Ramaswamy, De Santis and all the others - - are egomaniacal, unpatriotic wimps. If they had any real integrity - - any real love of country - - any normal-sized egos - - they would drop out of the race - - and wholeheartedly support President Trump - - who alone is responsible for any political success which any of them have had. Their whole "when I'm president - - this will not happen" shtik makes me nauseous. They're all self-centered weasels - - and PFOOEY on all of them!

#6, As this article clearly states, DeSantis strongly condemned the indictment in terms similar to Ramaswamy’s condemnation. DM had a story about that earlier. As far as I know no other candidate other than these two have weighed in.

Sorry for the second post - - but - - both Ramaswamy and De Santis chimed in with "when I'm president" weasel words. They condemned Biden - - but they did NOT support President Trump for re-election. That's ingratitude, egomania, and lack of patriotism at the highest level. And once again - - I say PFOOEY!

The candidate who has not entered yet would a legitimate T party Trump supporter from a state that Trump didn't carry who would promise to carry the MAGA banner, who has some indication of draining the swamp and has a successful history as an executive in the private sector. Not to run as a Trump alternative, but to run as the what if he can't continue alternative? DeSantis, and his globalist Ukranian ties and hence Soros and Bush connections is a non starter.

Good for Ramaswamy. Hutchinson has no business being anywhere near Washington. Two questions for any candidate (Democrat or Republic) running for President: 1. Do you support the prosecution of Donald Trump? 2. Do you support the prosecution of the J6 prisoners? If they answer yes to either, do not vote for them. Both are injustices that need to end. These issues show the rampant corruption in our country more than anything else.

The Supreme Court is getting ready to hand down a decision any day now on President Joe Biden's proposed student loan forgiveness plan – and progressives are scrambling to find a way to still wipe clean that debt. Meanwhile, the group that launched one of the lawsuits that landed the resident's plan at the Supreme Court says that they will sue any workarounds the Biden administration tries to jam through. Job Creators Network President and CEO Alfredo Ortiz told DailyMail.com that the Department of Education (DOE) is actively working on workarounds to still get at least $10,000 taken off of the debts of most borrowers with outstanding student loans.

Former President Trump’s Republican primary competitors scrambled to respond to the freshly unsealed federal indictment threatening him with up to 400 years in prison — with reactions ranging from full-throated defense to outright condemnation. Former Vice President Mike Pence spoke warmly of his ex-boss Saturday as he addressed a friendly crowd of Republicans at North Carolina’s state GOP convention, saying he “couldn’t have been more proud to stand shoulder to shoulder every single day with President Donald Trump” during their single term in office. Pence condemned the Department of Justice for its “politicization,” calling Trump’s indictment “a sad day for America.”

Former President Donald Trump will slam “Democrat Communists” who “want to jail their opponents” at the Georgia Republican Party state convention, his first public appearance since being indicted on federal charges,” according to prepared remarks. Trump, the leading Republican presidential candidate, on Thursday announced that the Justice Department had indicted him in relation to the classified documents case, and the 49-page document was unsealed on Friday. In the speech, Trump is set to touch on the indictment, asserting there are “two standards of justice in the country.” The remarks read in part:

Former President Donald Trump is slated to speak at the Georgia Republican Party state convention in Columbus Saturday afternoon, his first public appearance since being indicted on 38 federal counts. He announced the indictment on Thursday, contending he is “an innocent man” before President Joe Biden’s Justice Department unsealed the 49-page document Friday afternoon. It marks the second indictment against the 45th president since April, when left-wing Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office announced a grand jury returned an indictment on charges it pursued in a case alleging Trump falsified business records.

Let’s face it, stories of the current resident of the Oval Office looking confused and out of sorts are nothing new. In fact, we saw it just Thursday during the public portion of his meeting with UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, where Biden mumbled incoherently at various points as he forgot Winston Churchill’s name and incorrectly referred to Sunak as “Mr. President.” And the day after he suffered a massive fall during an Air Force commencement ceremony, Biden had to be directed everywhere he went during a D.C. Marine Barracks parade while at times moving very slowly, and then on Monday, he shook hands with thin air (again)

The very day that the Oversight Committee of the U.S. House of Representatives canceled a Contempt of Congress vote against FBI Director Christopher Wray after the latter agreed to turn over a witness file containing bribery allegations against President Joe Biden stemming back to his days as vice president of the United States, Donald Trump—former president and current poll leader among prospective 2024 GOP presidential candidates—informed the public that he has been indicted for mishandling presidential documents. This extraordinary coincidence illustrates an important, baneful trend in American life: the use of criminal prosecutions and civil lawsuits as a political weapon.

Atlanta— Former President Donald Trump will make his first public appearances since his federal indictment, speaking on Saturday to friendly Republican audiences in Georgia and North Carolina as he seeks to rally supporters to his defense. Trump, who remains the front-runner for the 2024 GOP nomination despite his mounting legal woes, is expected to use his scheduled speeches at state party conventions in the two states to deliver a full-throated rebuke of the charges and amplify his assertions that he is the victim of a politically motivated “witch hunt” by Democratic President Joe Biden’s Justice Department.
