Trump’s transition path gets boost from GOP Senate majority

By Mabinty Quarshie,Ramsey Touchberry,Samantha-Jo RothandChristian Datoc | Washington Examiner President-elect Donald Trump is moving quickly to strategize a path to fill out his Cabinet in the wake of his political comeback this week. Trump soundly defeated Vice President Kamala Harris, who conceded the race Wednesday, and is now huddling at Mar-a-Lago with donors, family members, and advisers. He is expected to continue meeting with this brain trust over the following weeks. With Republican senators easily flipping the upper chamber back into their hands, the former president is likely to have a smoother path to confirming his Cabinet selections for his second administration. The GOP currently has a 52-44 majority, with the margin likely to grow when final ra...

By Luke Rosiak | Daily Wire Nathan Wade, the Georgia lawyer tapped to prosecute former President Donald Trump by his onetime lover, Fulton County prosecutor Fani Willis, had extensive communications with the Biden-Harris White House, new records show.

Harris says she hopes ‘the former vice president would agree to’ another debate in latest gaffe

By Heather Hunter | Washington Examiner Vice President Kamala Harris called for another presidential debate on Sunday while talking to reporters on the tarmac at Joint Base Andrews, Maryland, but mistakenly noted that she hoped for “the former vice president to” agree to the debate. “Well, you’ve probably heard I would like another debate,” Harris said while walking up to reporters. She continued, “So, I’m hoping the former vice president will agree to that, but we have a lot more to discuss.” The White House transcript appears to have corrected her remarks, replacing “the vice president” with “the former president” to refer to her Republican rival, Donald Trump.

The New Yorker has an exhaustive piece on Zelensky penned by Joshua Yaffa, stating that the Ukrainian leader “speaks with the urgency of a leader who knows that he may be facing his last best chance for substantial foreign assistance” as President Biden’s presidential term is coming to an end. The Q&A in the piece is revealing, as Zelensky openly attacks Trump, asserting that he “doesn’t really know how to stop the war even if he might think he knows how....

Trump pleads not guilty to superseding indictment as Jan. 6 case back in DC court

By The Hill Former President Trump’s federal Jan. 6 case is back in a D.C. courtroom on Thursday. Trump is not there in person, but attorneys and prosecutors on special counsel Jack Smith’s team are arguing before U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan to determine how the case should proceed now that the Supreme Court ruled Trump has broad immunity from criminal prosecution. That high court decision in July sent Trump’s criminal prosecution back to the lower court to apply the standard. In Chutkan’s case, she she sparked a flurry of activity in August when she announced she would hold a conference to chart the course of the case.
