(CNN) — Former President Donald Trump refused to unconditionally accept the results of the upcoming 2024 presidential election in an interview Wednesday with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. “If everything’s honest, I’ll gladly accept the results. I don’t change on that,” Trump said in the interview. “If it’s not, you have to fight for the right of the country.” Trump also repeated false claims that he won the state of Wisconsin during the 2020 election. “If you go back and look at all of the things that had been found out, it showed that I won the election in Wisconsin ..read more

(CNN) — South Dakota GOP Sen. Mike Rounds said Gov. Kristi Noem’s revelation in her book that she shot a dog on her family farm could hurt her with voters if former President Donald Trump chooses her as his running mate. “I don’t see how it helps,” Rounds said. “I’ve had dogs,” he said. “I just think that when a family decides to put down dogs, it’s a very personal and private decision to be made. Not something to be made lightly. It should be very personal and private.” Noem, a South Dakota Republican, did not keep it private, detailing the shooting of the 14-month-old dog ..read more

Jacksonville, Florida (CNN) — Vice President Kamala Harris will travel to Florida on Wednesday just hours after a controversial ban on most abortions after six weeks of pregnancy goes into effect in the state, as the Biden campaign ratchets up its strategy of blaming former President Donald Trump for abortion restrictions being adopted across the country. Harris, who has been leading the charge for the Biden White House and campaign on the issue of reproductive rights, is set to speak at a campaign event in Jacksonville and will be introduced by a maternal-fetal medici ..read more

(CNN) — Former President Donald Trump’s campaign managers on Tuesday criticized the Commission on Presidential Debates after the commission told Fox News it would stick to its original debate schedule despite calls from the Trump campaign to move the dates earlier and add more debates. Trump campaign managers Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles said in a statement they were extending an invitation to “every television network in America that wishes to host a debate,” and called on President Joe Biden’s campaign to coordinate with them to set up a debate “as soon as pos ..read more

Wilmington, Delaware (CNN) — Inside President Joe Biden’s reelection headquarters here, a sign boasts of some of the campaign’s most significant metrics: Pennsylvania, 24; Michigan, 30; Wisconsin 44. These are not poll numbers, but rather the latest – and growing – tally of campaign offices already open in three battleground states. It’s a rare bright spot in Biden’s rematch with former President Donald Trump and the most tangible example of how the campaign is using its fundraising muscle to build an entirely different operation from four years ago. “Our job at this point ..read more

Washington (CNN) — House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer was eager to take the reins of a high-stakes investigation into President Joe Biden and his family, seen as central to the House Republican agenda – a coveted perch that brought the added benefit of elevating his national profile. But after 15 months of coming up short in proving some of his biggest claims against the president, Comer recently approached one of his Republican colleagues and made a blunt admission: He was ready to be “done with” the impeachment inquiry into Biden, according to t ..read more

Tampa, Florida (CNN) — President Joe Biden is heading to Florida on Tuesday where his team is seeking to leverage a restrictive abortion law to put the state in play for Democrats, seeing reproductive rights as a galvanizing issue for voters. Democrats have seized on abortion ahead of November, hoping it could spur moderate voters – particularly women – to turn out in droves against former President Donald Trump by tying the abortion bans directly to him. Biden’s campaign often cites Democratic successes in the 2022 midterms and off-year elections since Roe v. Wade was over ..read more

(CNN) — Former Republican Rep. Liz Cheney said Monday if the Supreme Court does not resolve the issue of presidential immunity “quickly and decisively,” it will have a “profoundly negative impact” on the country. In a New York Times Op-Ed, Cheney argues that, “If delay prevents this Trump case from being tried this year, the public may never hear critical and historic evidence developed before the grand jury, and our system may never hold the man most responsible for Jan. 6 to account.” Her message comes before the high court is set to hear arguments later this month in the bloc ..read more

(CNN) — President Joe Biden will receive the formal endorsement of more than a dozen members of the extended Kennedy family on Thursday, according to the Biden campaign, aiming to harness the legacy of a storied Democratic family while implicitly underscoring their near-universal rejection of a third-party challenge mounted by one of their own, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The broader Kennedy family has mostly shunned RFK Jr.’s campaign, calling it “dangerous,” even as the candidate himself looks to capitalize on his last name and family history. But Thursday’s even ..read more
