DES MOINES, Iowa— Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is planning to raise money for former President Donald Trump in the coming weeks, putting into action the commitment he made at a meeting with Trump last month to help his former rival for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, according to two people familiar with the matter. The people spoke on the condition of anonymity because the details have not been finalized and plans could still shift in the weeks ahead. Still, DeSantis is making calls to donors while his finance team works quickly to put together a schedule that would include stops in Florida and Texas, the people said.

It's good to see DeSantis actively supporting President Trump now. But after how he attacked Trump so viciously for so many months, it's going to take a lot more than this to make me believe that he can be trusted again. I'm sick of politicians playing politician games. And this just sort of wreaks of a politician trying to resurrect his political career after committing political suicide.

Please lighten up, # 1. Politicians have to put daylight between themselves and their opponents, and Trump himself is no stranger to delivering "vicious" attacks (just ask Scott Walker). DeSantis has been a good soldier ever since he lost in Iowa. Enough, already. Don't kick away our most promising young talent in pursuit of some purist fantasy.

I'm glad DeSantis is raising funds for President Trump, and I'd like to believe he's trustworthy after the acrimony towards President Trump. I'd like to be as forgiving as some, but we've wasted decades with rinos in office and can ill-afford another, especially after they've given the demonrats everything they've wanted on purpose or by buffoonery for decades. DeSantis has a VERY long way to go before I'll have any confidence in him NOT being a rino. Oh yeah, one more thing. This article makes everything sound so hunky-dory. Republicans formerly at each others throats now working in harmony. Don't forget this is an AP article, and about 99.9% of the time they're lying about something. I suspect the AP would be more than happy to help a rino. Just something else to think about.

I understand your wary attitude, #1, we have been fooled so many times that it’s just prudent to have a wait and see point of view. We can at the same time be thankful the good Governor will be out there helping raisr money and rouse MAGA!!! He is the nation’s best conservative Governor in the minds of many. Ron DeSantis will draw some good crowds on the campaign trail!

Residents in the Bronx expressed support for former President Donald Trump ahead of his rally on Thursday evening, pointing out that “people need to see” that their president cares about them. In an interview with Newsmax, several expressed that people in the city were “struggling” which led to people “getting desperate” and an increase in crime rates. “We were just going to buy Windex to clean the windshield,” one man told the outlet. “Everything is expensive. Everybody is hurting.

Sen. Rick Scott has jumped into the Senate GOP leader race in a bid to replace the old-school, neoconservative Mitch McConnell with a more Trumpist brand of leader. 'I believe now is a moment we need dramatic change,' Scott wrote in a Dear Colleague letter, arguing voters want them to use the leadership election to 'upend the status quo in Washington.' He will be running against GOP Whip John Thune and former Whip John Cornyn. Former President Donald Trump, a longtime McConnell antagonist, has not thrown his weight around in the race yet.

Californians pay more at the gas pump than residents of any other state in the United States despite Gov. Gavin Newsom’s (D-CA) so-called “plan” to crack down on windfall oil profits. “Is Gavin Newsom trying to help Donald Trump?” Is Wall Street Journal’s Allysia Finley question, citing his plan to raise fuel prices in Nevada and Arizona just before the November presidential election. Nevada and Arizona’s gas prices heavily reflect those in California due to them being significantly reliant (90 and 50 percent) on California for their fuel supply. According to recent reports, the California Energy Commission is looking to implement a new tax on refinery gross margins which would result

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre may have thought she could get away with a victory lap for President Biden on Wednesday when she heralded the latest illegal student loan "cancellation" attempt by the Biden administration — a transparent ploy to win the support of young voters ahead of November's election — but her attempts to justify the massive reallocation of debt from those who willfully took out loans to American taxpayers did not go over well. (X Video) No matter how you slice it, President Biden's unconstitutional student loan reallocation is fundamentally unfair — and rather ironically flies in the face of Democrats' obsession with equity.

Washington— The Senate on Wednesday confirmed the 200th federal judge of President Joe Biden’s tenure, about a month earlier than when Donald Trump hit that mark in his term, though Trump still holds the edge when it comes to the most impactful confirmations — those to the Supreme Court and the country’s 13 appellate courts. The march to 200 culminated with the confirmation of Angela Martinez as a district court judge in Arizona. The milestone reflects the importance that Biden, a former chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., placed on judicial confirmations after Trump put his enormous stamp on the federal judiciary

(The Center Square) – Illinois legislators are working to change the term "offender" to "justice impacted individual" in state law, a move Republicans say disrespects victims of violent crime. House Bill 4409 would add Illinois Department of Corrections representation to the Adult Redeploy Illinois oversight board, but it also changes the word "offender" to "justice-impacted individuals." Republicans on the Senate floor said the name change could cost taxpayers thousands of dollars. (Snip) Republicans said the focus shouldn’t be on what they called the "poor offender," but rather the victims of violent crimes.

The Pentagon said Tuesday that it believes none of the hundreds of tons of aid delivered over several days via a military-built pier in Gaza has made it to Palestinians. The pier, erected by the U.S. Army to ease the humanitarian crisis amid the Israel-Hamas war, was secured to the Gaza shoreline Thursday, and trucks began dropping off pallets of food ashore on Friday. But the United Nations reported difficulties moving the aid once it reached the shore, including an apparent ambush that reportedly turned deadly. Pentagon spokesman Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder told reporters Tuesday that more than 569 metric tons of aid had been delivered to Gaza via the pier,

TEL AVIV, Israel — Norway, Ireland and Spain said Wednesday they would recognize a Palestinian state, a historic but largely symbolic move that further deepens Israel’s isolation more than seven months into its grinding war against Hamas in Gaza. Israel denounced the decisions and recalled its ambassadors to the three countries. Palestinian officials welcomed the announcements as an affirmation of their decades-long quest for statehood in east Jerusalem, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip — territories Israel seized in the 1967 Mideast war and still controls. While some 140 countries — more than two-thirds of the United Nations — recognize a Palestinian state, Wednesday’s cascade

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Biden administration is canceling student loans for another 160,000 borrowers through a combination of existing programs. The Education Department announced the latest round of cancellation on Wednesday, saying it will erase $7.7 billion in federal student loans. With the latest action, the administration said it has canceled $167 billion in student debt for nearly 5 million Americans through several programs. “From day one of my administration, I promised to fight to ensure higher education is a ticket to the middle class, not a barrier to opportunity,” President Joe Biden said in a statement. “I will never stop working to cancel student debt
