Harris Widens National Lead

Is the end in sight? If Trump loses to Vice President Kamala Harris in November—which is a real possibility, if recent polls are accurate—he does not plan to run again in 2028, he said in an interview that aired Sunday. “No, I don’t,” Trump told Sharyl Attkisson, host of Full Measure, when she asked if he thinks he would run again in four years if he loses the next election.

If you were fortunate enough to skip watching Donald's rally in Wilmington, N. C., last night, you made a wise decision. Trump held rallies all through his four years in office because the narcissist is constantly in need of adoration. A common theme lately, though, is clips showing Trump's die-hard fans exiting the venues while their hero is still talking.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) called on Mark Robinson, the Republican nominee for governor in North Carolina, to "sue the hell out of CNN" after the outlet reported on comments he wrote on a pornographic website.
