Grover Cleveland is the historical standard among American presidents who lose or leave office then seek to regain it. The reason is simple: he achieved his goal. Cleveland, however, is hardly the only commander-in-chief who tried to win back what was lost. The difference is that the historical record for ex-presidents trying for a comeback is pretty terrible.And there are some Democrats who, toward the end of Cleveland’s second term in the late 1880s, wished Uncle Jumbo had stayed retired from politics — a cautionary tale for former President Donald Trump and his Republicans.In the waning days of the Trump Administration, many Americans learned that the then-president wanted to c

The 2024 presidential election is expected to be another extremely close contest, with the winner of the Electoral College likely eking out a victory with just tens of thousands of votes across a handful of swing states. But control of the White House could come down to who wins Nebraska's 2nd Congressional District.Bloomberg reported that both Democrats and Republicans are campaigning hard in Douglas County — which includes the Omaha area — in the 2024 cycle. The 2nd district is known as a "blue dot" in a typically deep-red state that has reliably voted for Republican presidential candidates in

Reacting to recent comments from Donald Trump that he may not accept the results of the 2024 presidential election if he loses to President Joe Biden, former RNC chair Michael Steele went on an extensive tirade on Saturday morning accusing the former president of weakness.Steele, who now co-hosts MSNBC's "The Weekend," jumped on comments the former president made in an interview with Time, where he admitted when it comes to the election results, "... if we don’t win, you know, it depends. It always depends on the fairness of an election.”That led Steele to tell the MSNBC panel, "Here's the proble

South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem (R) is almost certainly out of consideration in the 2024 veepstakes due to the story of her shooting her 14 month-old puppy, Cricket.Rolling Stone journalist Asawin Suebsaeng recently reported that former President Donald Trump is reportedly "disgusted" by the story from Noem's memoir, according to unnamed sources close to the ex-president. Those sources say that Trump has repeatedly discussed Noem's story of shooting her family dog during closed-door meetings and private phone calls."Trump, sources recount, has pointedly asked questions regarding her decisi

During a recent segment on Jesse Watters Primetime, Fox News host Rachel Campos-Duffy cracked a joke at the expense of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's (D-California) husband, Paul, in reference to an incident where he was hospitalized after a home invasion.The Daily Beast reported that Campos-Duffy made the remark while discussing President Joe Biden awarding the Presidential Medal of Freedom — the United States' highest non-military honor — to the former speaker at a recent White House ceremony. Other recipients included Team USA Gymnastics Olympic gold medalist Simone B

An analysis published Friday by the renowned economist Gabriel Zucman shows that in 2018, U.S. billionaires paid a lower effective tax rate than working-class Americans for the first time in the nation's history, a data point that sparked a new flurry of calls for bold levies on the ultra-rich.Published in The New York Times with the headline "It's Time to Tax the Billionaires," Zucman's analysis notes that billionaires pay so little in taxes relative to their vast fortunes because they "live off their wealth"—mostly in the form of stock holdings—rather than wages and salaries.Stock gains aren't currently taxed in the U.S. until the underlying asset is sold, leaving

In his bid for a third term, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) is hoping to cross the finish line by making overtures to voters he hasn't previously engaged with: Democrats. His 2024 Democratic opponent isn't impressed by the gesture.On Saturday, the Wall Street Journal reported that Cruz is hoping to attract more suburban-dwelling Democratic voters to win reelection. In more recent campaign appearances, Texas' junior U.S. senator has been actively rebranding himself as a bipartisan dealmaker not afraid to reach across the aisle to deliver for constituents on issues like immigration. One campaign ad Cruz is running this cycle features "Democrats for Cruz

Donald Trump, savvy political operator, has realized that repeatedly falling asleep during his current criminal trial does not inspire voter confidence, so he’s instead fallen back on his most reliable crisis management technique — lying. He posted Thursday on his jack-legged social media site:“Contrary to the FAKE NEWS MEDIA, I don’t fall asleep during the Crooked D.A.’s Witch Hunt, especially not today. I simply close my beautiful blue eyes, sometimes, listen intensely, and take it ALL in!!This is the man who might win another term in the White House. He thinks he’s Sinatra.Maggie Haberman at the Times reported on the first day of Trump’s trial that he “appears to be

A California man has been arrested and charged with transmitting interstate threats to injure an elected official after comments he allegedly made about Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis.According to the Guardian, a federal grand jury in Atlanta indicted 66-year-old Marc Schultz of Chula Vista, California in late April over what it characterized as death threats in two separate livestreams posted to YouTube. In one of the streams, Schultz is accused of saying that the Georgia prosecutor leading the criminal investigation of former President Donald Trump "would be killed like a dog." Guardian reporters Hugo Lowell and Richard Luscombe noted that the nature of the alleged threat "closely

U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon still hasn't set a trial date in former President Donald Trump's classified documents case in the Southern District of Florida. And a date could be even further off after new allegations leveled by a member of Trump's defense team.The Daily Beast reported that Stanley Woodward — an attorney for Trump "body man" Walt Nauta — is alleging "vindictive prosecution" by Department of Justice special counsel Jack Smith. This stems from an incident in which prosecutor Jay Bratt, who is working under Smith, reportedly inferred that Woodward's representation of Nauta could complicate a possible judicial appointment in Washington, D.C. courts.
