The GOP over the last decade, Reuters noted in March, has transformed into a "Republican electorate that is more isolationist, more skeptical of globalization, more suspicious of the electoral process and more likely to view Democrats as a threat than it was when former President [Donald] Trump launched his first run for the White House in 2015."University of Virginia Center for Politics analyst J. Miles Coleman said the stark changes "reflect an electorate that has become more populist, both feeding off of Trump's populism and influencing the broader party.

I trust the readers of the Editorial Board will correct me if I’m wrong when I say I don’t recall having paid any attention to Kristi Noem. The Republican governor of South Dakota pops into my field of vision now and then, recently as a leading candidate for Donald Trump’s vice presidential pick. Other than that, however, I haven’t been interested.I wasn’t interested even after The Guardian broke the story, on April 26, about the time she shot and killed her 14–month-old dog, an episode she recounts in her new book, No Going Back: The Truth on What’s Wrong with Politics and How We Move America Forward. While sensational and humiliating (for Noem), I didn’t think the story had legs. There might be something to say, but by the time I said it, something else would come along to comman

Although US Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) was ousted by his own GOP colleagues after a short stint as House Speaker last year, and ultimately replaced by US Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA), the California lawmaker was known among his party for doing one thing well: fundraising. The Daily Beast reports, "According to federal campaign finance records, Johnson still has yet to match his predecessor’s fundraising success, specifically when it comes to boosting the most vulnerable incumbent Republicans."GOP lawmakers told the news outlet that the speaker's fundraising numbers are especially important during a critical "election year like 2024."READ MORE:

Former President Donald Trump's ongoing hush money criminal trial on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records is connected to a payment that was made to adult film star Stormy Daniels to benefit his 2016 presidential campaign. Daniels testified on Tuesday revealing salacious details of her 2006 Lake Tahoe hotel night in hotel room with the former president, and she's expected to take the witness stand again on Thursday. MSNBC's Deadline: White House host Nicolle Wallace spoke with analyst and former US Senator Claire McCaskill (D-MO) about the implications of Daniels' testimony. READ MORE: Stormy Daniels confi

U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon late Tuesday afternoon issued an indefinite postponement of the court date in Special Counsel Jack Smith’s prosecution of Donald Trump on Espionage Act charges, in the indictment commonly referred to as the classified documents case.Claiming it would be “imprudent and inconsistent with the Court’s duty to fully and fairly consider the various pending pre-trial motions before the Court,” along with other matters, Judge Cannon, a Trump appointee, wrote: “the Court finds that the ends of justice served by this continuance…outweigh the best interest of the public and Defendants in a speedy trial.”Politico’s Kyle Cheney

On Tuesday, adult film star and director Stormy Daniels took the witness stand in former President Donald Trump's ongoing criminal trial in Manhattan. One columnist used her testimony as an example of how "bizarre" American politics has become.Even though Judge Juan Merchan took great care to keep Daniels from disclosing the salacious details of their encounter, Daniels and prosecutors still occasionally veered into risqué territory, particularly when Daniels recounted how Trump was wearing silk pajamas, asked her to spank him with a magazine and didn't wear a condom during their 2006 rendezvous. While Daniels maintained the encounter was consensual, she added that it was unpleasant, and tha

Last month, Republican nominee Donald Trump told a Pennsylvania rally crown that if President Joe Biden wins the November election, "our country is going to be destroyed." This declaration was one of many the ex-president has made to successfully stoke fear among his faithful MAGA supporters. In a Tuesday, May 7 op-ed published by The Atlantic, staff writer Peter Wehner emphasizes the fact that "Trump and his supporters have a deep investment in promoting fear," submitting that, for many of the former president's fans, "fear is not so much the cause of their support for the former president as a justification for it."READ MORE:

Last month Donald Trump falsely told reporters Justice Juan Merchan had blocked him from attending his youngest son’s high school graduation, refusing to give him the day off from his required attendance at his New York criminal court case.Justice Merchan had actually told Trump he would take the request under advisement, but Trump quickly ran to reporters painting the judge as heartless.On April 15 Trump said, “it looks like the judge will not let me go to the graduation of my son who’s worked very, very hard and he is a great student.”“It looks like the judge isn’t going to allow me to escape this scam. It’s a scam trial,” Trump alleged.The Associated Pres

Former President Donald Trump's federal classified documents trial is almost certainly not going to happen before the November election following the latest decision by U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon.Cannon — whom Trump appointed to her lifetime post in 2020 — recently issued a decision that she will be "temporarily staying" Trump's requirement to submit a Classified Information Procedures Act (CIPA) Section 5 notice, meaning the original deadline will be scuttled. Section 5 of CIPA pertains to what classified information that defendants in criminal proceedings plan to disclose in a trial ahead of time to both the government and the cou

Allies of South Dakota Republican Gov. Kristi Noem were hoping that her new book, "No Going Back: The Truth on What's Wrong With Politics and How We Move America Forward," would increase her chances of becoming presumptive 2024 GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump's running mate. But various controversies surrounding the book may have, according to reports, made Trump's campaign less likely to choose her.First, Noem drew widespread criticism — even on the right — for an anecdote in which she describ
