Never mind the heckles and boos, Sen. Tim Scott insists Donald Trump is gaining popularity! Trump’s critical reception at the Libertarian Convention this weekend isn’t deterring the senator from rosily insisting that while you may have heard jeers, there was a “wave of red hats” in the crowd.
“I saw a wave of red hats at the Libertarian convention,” Scott told CNN’s Dana Bash on State of the Union Sunday. “Donald Trump’s popularity continues to increase.”

The unexpected death of political pundit Alice Stewart has drawn immediate response from her colleagues in the CNN newsroom and beyond.
Stewart was found dead outdoors in her Bellevue neighborhood in northern Virginia early Saturday morning. No foul play is suspected, and officers believe a medical emergency occurred with the 58-year-old.
She was a regular contributor to CNN and had a strong social media presence. Stewart also built a lengthy resume as a political communications head on several campaigns.
Some of the early reactions:

Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio) said he had been wrong to say, “Lord help us,” if we support Donald Trump in 2016.
Vance said this while discussing his opinion about Trump’s New York hush money trial with CNN host Dana Bash.
Vance was one of many Republicans who visited the hush money trial last week.
“I want to ask about what we saw this past week, and it’s gonna continue this week – the trial in New York – adult film actress Stormy Daniels testified about her allegation of the sexual encounter with Donald Trump,” Bash told the Ohio senator. “Now, after the Access Hollywood tape in 2016, you tweeted: ‘fellow Christians, everyone is watching us. When we apologize for this man, lord help us,'” she added.
Bash reminded him that Vance has “since deleted that tweet” about the former president.
“Do you still feel that way about Donald Trump’s sexual indiscretions?...

CNN will make its June 27 presidential debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump available for simulcast by other networks, a spokesperson said Friday.
ABC News, which is planning a Sept. 10 debate, has said that it will provide the feed to other networks.
The debates between the presidential contenders, which came together this week, promise to be a viewership juggernaut. But the ultimate reach of both events has been a lingering question, as it could have an impact on its total audience.
By making the debate available to rivals, CNN is giving up exclusivity, and perhaps the chance at a larger audience. But the debate overall may end up garnering a larger overall viewership if it is widely available across networks, albeit it will be with CNN talent.
Since 1988, the Commission on Presidential Debates has hosted the general election debates and they have aired across networks, cable outlets and streaming platforms.

One person who was not happy to hear President Joe Biden and Donald Trump agreed to debate each other? Independent presidential candidate and brain worm conqueror Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Shortly after news of the debates broke Wednesday, Kennedy took to X/Twitter to claim the two most recent presidents were “colluding to lock America into a head-to-head match-up that 80% say they do not want.”
“They are trying to exclude me from their debate because they are afraid I would win,” Kennedy said. “Keeping viable candidates off the debate stage undermines democracy.

Jake Tapper and Dana Bash will moderate the June 27 presidential debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump, the network said.
Both candidates said today that they had agreed to participate in the event, which will take place at CNN’s studios in Atlanta.
Tapper and Bash were to co-moderate a Republican primary debate this year in New Hampshire, but that was canceled after Nikki Haley and Donald Trump declined to participate, leaving just Ron DeSantis.
CNN has not yet said whether other networks will be offered a feed to simulcast the event. ABC News, which is hosting the second debate on Sept. 10, said that it would provide its coverage for other networks to broadcast and stream. Puck first reported the news on the choice of moderators, about a minute before the network announced it.

Former adult film star Stormy Daniels testified under oath that Donald Trump told her that she “reminded him of his daughter” Ivanka Trump.
On May 7, Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, stated during Trump’s hush money trial in the Manhattan Court that the former president said this to her during their bedroom encounter back in 2006, which the latter has denied ever happened.
“When I opened the bathroom door to come out, Mr. Trump had come into the bedroom,” she recalled. “The intention was pretty clear: someone stripped down to their underwear posing on the bed waiting for you.”
Trump had stared ahead during Daniels’ testimony. “My clothes and shoes were off; I think I still had my bra on,” the former film actress recalled. “We were in missionary position.”
She stated that Trump was not wearing a condom and that the encounter was long.

Peter Goldberg, who had led the department since 2017, will stay with the company as a partner and senior agent. Goldberg joined UTA in its acquisition of N.S. Bienstock, the agency that helped create the market for news and journalism talent under the leadership of the late Richard Leibner.

Updated: Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga) filed a motion Friday that could lead to a vote to oust House Speaker Mike Johnson, less than a half year into his tenure.
Greene’s action came just as the House passed a $1.2 trillion package to fund the government through September and forestall a shutdown. The bill only would have passed with Democratic votes, with a majority of Republicans against it.
“Ok, deep breath America, here we go again,” CNN anchor Dana Bash told viewers after Manu Raju and other reporters interviewed Greene on the steps of the Capitol afterward.
No vote on Greene’s motion to vacate is scheduled, as she did not seek a “privileged” resolution that would have triggered a two-legislative day timeframe for a floor vote. That is what happened in October, when Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-fl) led a successful effort to oust Kevin McCarthy as speaker. What...

In the pre-coverage of Joe Biden’s State of the Union address, the speech is being billed as the most important of his presidency, what with his dismal approval numbers and what is shaping up to be very difficult campaign for reelection.
Moreover, so much attention has been paid to the president’s age — at 81, he is the first octogenarian on a major party ticket — that any kind of slip up will be seized upon by his rivals.
Then again, Biden’s most memorable moment last year was an exchange with House Republicans over Social Security, showing that the president had command of the stage. That’s why it’ll be interesting to see if GOP members restrain themselves so as to not give the president the opportunity this year.

But with Joe Biden and Donald Trump on their way to a rematch in the 2024 presidential election, coverage Tuesday will focus on margins of victory, when each candidate will clinch their nomination and what’s next from now until Election Day.

The three major news networks all carried Donald Trump’s remarks reacting to the Supreme Court’s unanimous decision Monday that states cannot deny him access to the ballot.
In doing do, Trump was given a platform to blast prosecutors and judges in other cases, and to make unfounded claims that President Joe Biden has been engaging in a “weaponization” of the Justice Department.
“President Biden, number one, stop weaponization. Fight your fight yourself. Don’t use prosecutors and judges to go after your opponent so you can win an election,” Trump said in his remarks from Mar-a-Lago.
Trump used the occasion to also argue that he should be immune from prosecution in the January 6th federal conspiracy case, something the Supreme Court will consider next month. But he also suggested that Biden orchestrated his legal woes, even at the state level.
Fox News, CNN and MSNBC carried the remarks live.

She also said that she did not believe that Trump can beat Joe Biden.
“Nearly every day Trump drives people away, including with his comments just yesterday,” she said.
The latest vote total in the South Carolina primary shows Trump with 61% to Haley’s 39%.
Previously: Just minutes after networks projected him the winner of the South Carolina primary, Donald Trump took the stage at his celebration in Columbia, Sc.
His move — heading off Nikki Haley before she could speak to her supporters...

Last night on Long Island a relatively inoffensive, centrist establishment Democrat triumphed over the charismatic political newcomer in a swingy suburban district in a race that was dominated by a debate over immigration. Tom Suozzi’s victory in New York’s 3rd Congressional District over Republican Mazi Melesa Pilip is a balm for voters anxious about Joe Biden’s anemic approval ratings and his performance in head-to-heads polls against former President Donald Trump in a general election race poised to be a referendum on border policy.

Nancy Pelosi suggested that Russia may be funding pro-Palestinian protesters who have been interrupting Democratic campaign events, saying that some calling for a ceasefire are promoting “Putin’s message.”
Protesters disrupted Pelosi’s appearance in Seattle on Thursday to call for an end to Israel’s assault on Palestine. Vocal demonstrators have also been appearing regularly at President Joe Biden’s events. Pelosi said that she would like the FBI to investigate whether Russia is financing these groups.

Judge Judy Sheindlin endorsed former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley for president.
“She is principled, measured and has that illusive quality of real common sense,” the TV personality said. “I truly think she can restore America and believe she is the future of this great nation.”
Haley responded to this endorsement in a statement in which she called Sheindlin a practical woman worthy of the respect she receives from millions of Americans in her courtroom.
“I’m honored to have her support,” Haley stated.
Sheindlin previously endorsed the former mayor of New York City, Michael Bloomberg, in the 2020 Democratic primary.
On January 22, CNN reporter Dana Bash sat down with Sheindlin to discuss why she would rather support Haley than Joe Biden and Donald Trump.

A small contingent of journalists gathered near the Canadian border earlier this morning to watch as Dixville Notch, Nh, continued its tradition of casting the first ballots on an election day.
Nikki Haley cleaned Donald Trump’s clock in this hamlet — 6 votes to none.
As the day goes on, network correspondents are fanning out across the state at precincts to talk to actual voters, after months in which the first-in-the-nation primary was judged and assessed by polls. Commentary and analysis is focusing on whether
Haley and her top surrogate, New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu, blitzed the airwaves on Monday, while Trump held a final rally in Laconia, Nh, where he predicted that Haley would be out of the race after tonight. He was interrupted by climate protesters, who have been a frequent presence at events in recent days.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has dropped out of the 2024 presidential race, ending a faltering bid where he tried to cast himself as a Trump-like candidate in a race where so much of the Republican base ended up preferring the real thing.
In a videotaped message posted this afternoon, DeSantis said that he was suspending his campaign and endorsing Donald Trump.
“It is clear to me that a majority of Republican primary voters want to give Donald Trump another chance,” DeSantis said in the video, in which he thanked his staff and his wife and quoted Winston Churchill, kind of.
DeSantis’ exit leaves just Trump and former Un ambassador Nikki Haley in the race, with Tuesday’s New Hampshire primary likely to show whether the bid for the GOP nomination is all but over.
“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.”

Media-wise, the 2024 presidential election crosses the official starting line with debate season, and this cycle the contenders on the Republican side, including a multiple-indicted former Potus, are looking to beat Democrat Joe Biden and take over the White House. But first they have to take on one another.
For the candidates, debates are a way to score points against a rival, stand out from the field or define a campaign that’s heretofore been rudderless.

Have you heard it’s cold in Des Moines? The subzero temperatures are making Monday’s caucuses in Iowa the coldest on record, a running theme of coverage throughout the day and into this evening. It’s not trivial, as the frigid weather may very well impact turnout.
As Iowa’s first votes of the 2024 presidential race come in, expect a lot of analysis, punditry and prediction, even if the results represent just a sliver of the primary electorate. The Hawkeye state’s primacy as the first-in-the-nation often obscures the peculiarities of the caucus system, unless there is some kind of glitch, which is what happened four years ago with the Democrats.
That said, networks see the caucuses as the kickoff of what is hoped a spike in viewer interest in the presidential contest, as was seen in 2020 and 2016. All of the broadcast networks are planning for ongoing coverage of...

Update: So much of this debate was about repetitive sparring between two Donald Trump alternatives, and the one-on-one match up made the event seem longer than others this cycle.
The debate had its moments where issues and philosophies were at the forefront, but Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis were so determined to go after each other that they lost their places at certain points. At one point DeSantis identified her as the former “governor of California.” DeSantis debated Gavin Newsom in November.
There were moments when they did attack the front runner, Donald Trump, albeit with far less of the determination of Chris Christie, who exited the race earlier on Wednesday.
Haley said that Trump would have to “answer for” what happened on that date. DeSantis bashed Trump for his “word vomit” social media post in which he said he would terminate the Constitution.

Along with Donald Trump (who is doing a separate town hall), DeSantis and Haley were the only two candidates who qualified for tonight’s debate, with polling above 10%. Vivek Ramaswamy and former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie have been prominent in the headlines, but both failed to qualify.

Updated with debate field set: CNN said Tuesday that former President Donald Trump, former Un ambassador Nikki Haley and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis have qualified for their January 10 debate in Iowa.
But only Haley and DeSantis will be participating in the event, as Trump will be doing some counter-programming: a town hall on Fox News. The CNN debate and the Fox News town hall will begin at the same time, 9 p.m. Et.
CNN’s Dana Bash and Jake Tapper will moderate the debate; Fox News’ Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum will moderate the town hall.
On social media, Vivek Ramaswamy bashed CNN for its more stringent debate criteria, as participants had a 10% polling threshold to qualify. Ramaswamy and former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie did not make the cut for the Iowa debate despite qualifying for the four previous primary debates.

Now that Colorado and Maine have disqualified Donald Trump from their 2024 ballots, citing the 14th Amendment, the case will most likely go to the Supreme Court. But Rep. Jamie Raskin said Sunday that Justice Clarence Thomas “absolutely should recuse himself” from these upcoming rulings because of his wife’s involvement in Jan. 6 and the fake electors scheme.
The 14th Amendment states that anyone who “engaged in insurrection” or gave “aid and comfort” to insurrectionists is disqualified from holding future office. Raskin and seven fellow Democratic members of the House Judiciary Committee...

Dana Bash and Jake Tapper will moderate CNN’s Republican primary debate on January 10, five days before the Iowa caucuses.
The event, to take place at Drake University, was announced last week along with another debate to be held on Jan. 21, two days before the New Hampshire primary.
The debates are not sanctioned by the Republican National Committee, which last week released candidates from the obligation of only participating in events approved by the party.
To qualify for the Iowa debate, candidates must receive at least 10% in three separate national and/or Iowa polls of Republican caucusgoers that meet the network’s standards for reporting, CNN said. One of the three polls must be a CNN approved poll of likely Iowa caucusgoers. Given where the candidates are in the polls, the candidates most likely to qualify are Donald Trump, Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis. A recent Des Moines Register/NBC News...

Speaking for Joe Biden’s re-election campaign, Newsom sparred with Sean Hannity on Fox News’ Hannity, spoke with CNN’s Dana Bash and chatted with MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow. He answered questions about his own presidential ambitions, defended the state of California, praised the recent WGA-amptp agreement and even weighed in the Travis Kelce-Taylor Swift situation. “It was the XFL, the Jv team,” Newsom said of the seven candidates who participated in the event.
Some of the actual candidates who appeared onstage did venture into the spin room for lengthy periods, including Vivek Ramaswamy, Tim Scott, Mike Pence and Doug Burghum, but Newsom also did a pre-debate round of Spin Room interviews to a swarm of reporters and camera crews.

In an exclusive sit-down with Dana Bash, clips of which aired on CNN, the California governor responded to her question by saying he hasn’t been out on the picket line — as New York Gov. Kathy Hochul briefly was last month — but said he’s in “a different position.”
When she asked why, he continued: “[I’m] trying to be constructive on both sides, to utilize the formal authority I have as governor, the convening capacity I have as governor, the moral authority I can bring into the conversation to try to get everybody to the table.

“You can say right here that you will rule out voting for Donald Trump for president?” Dana Bash asked Pence during an interview that aired Sunday on CNN’s State of the Union.
“Dana, I tell ya, I don’t think we’ll have to make that decision,” Pence responded after a chuckle.

Cable news was again a study in contrasts on Thursday: Fox News carried a big portion of Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s testimony before a House committee, while CNN and MSNBC did not.
Kennedy’s candidacy — which seems to be embraced much more by the right than the left — also was highlighted with an interview later in the day on Fox News’ The Story with Martha MacCallum, while the political scion next week will sit for a town hall with Sean Hannity.
As a star witness before the House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government, Kennedy’s appearance was contentious from the start. After Republicans and Democrats sparred over his testimony and he gave his opening statement, Fox News anchors then gave him high marks for his debut before the panel.
“He dispensed with his written statement. He gave it passionately from the heart.

One notable thing about the headlines coming out of CNN in recent weeks is something they don’t include: news about CNN itself.
Since the exit of former chief Chris Licht in June after a tenure marked by tumult and unwanted publicity, the gossip mill around the Warner Bros. Discovery-backed news outlet has ceased its once-dependable roar. There are no leaks about what happened at CNN’s morning editorial meeting, or chatter about how current leaders Amy Entelis, Virginia Moseley and Eric Sherling talk (or don’t) to the staff. There is even less hubbub about David Leavy, the longtime consigliere who was recently installed to oversee business affairs. and is a longtime consigliere to Warner Bros. Discovery honcho David Zaslav,
People familiar with the network say there is a sense of “relief” within its ranks. It won’t last for very long.
