Donald Trump's first few months in federal court as a defendant have shown the former president is employing the same strategy he typically brings to his civil cases: seeking delay. Trump made headlines with one motion suggesting his May trial in the Mar-a-Lago documents case should be bumped until mid-November 2024 — after the election. |

Nikki Haley is increasingly being viewed as the most viable alternative to former President Trump, as Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) continues to struggle to gain traction in the primary. The former United Nations ambassador received widespread praise for her performances in the GOP primary debates, has bumped up in primary polling and become an increasing target of Trump's. Another former GOP presidential candidate, former Rep. Will Hurd (Texas), also threw his support behind Haley this week. |

North Carolina is likely to emerge as a major battleground in 2024, with Democrats viewing the state as a potential flip opportunity in the presidential election. The state has regularly made for a relatively close contest for years, with several presidential, gubernatorial and senatorial candidates winning by no more than a few percentage points. Democrats have found more success historically with the governor's race, while Republicans have taken federal elections. |

Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) called for the ouster of National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan on Friday. Blackburn sent a letter to President Biden highlighting her reasons for why she thinks Sullivan can be removed from the role, saying he "has routinely misled the entire government about the status of security threats around the world." |

Arizona Republican Senate candidate Kari Lake said that world leaders are taking advantage of the U.S.'s "feeble" president amid fighting between militant group Hamas and Israel in a recent interview. "[S]ome of these world leaders are like sharks," Lake said in an interview on One America News Network (OAN). "They smell blood in the water. With Joe Biden, you can tell the man is feeble. He's not strong, he's not for America and they can take advantage of him, and they're taking advantage of America right now." |

Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.) argued on Saturday that the U.S. shouldn't take in refugees from Gaza amid fighting between militant group Hamas and Israel, and should instead focus on its own border. "We should NOT take in 1 million refugees from Gaza—a region prone to terrorism and anti-semitism," Biggs said on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. "Where is the focus on our own southern border?" |

Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) made a plea in support of Palestinian civilians in Gaza amid the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas. "I cannot believe I have to beg my country and colleagues to value every human life, no matter their faith or ethnicity," Tlaib wrote in a post on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, on Saturday. |

A judge presiding over Rudy Giuliani's damages trial penalized the lawyer Friday for his "continued and flagrant" disregard of court order. U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell said the decision means jurors will be told that Giuliani intentionally hid financial documents and other records in defiance of court orders. |

The United States announced they are sending a second carrier strike group to the Eastern Mediterranean to act as a deterrence amid concerns that foreign aggressors could engage in the war between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip. The USS Gerald Ford was the first group to head to the region, and now the USS Eisenhower will join them after Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin's announcement. |

OPINION | The hearts and minds of the American people are filled with heartbreak and righteous anger for our friends and allies, the people of Israel. The terrorist attacks on innocent children, women and men were disgusting. A music festival turned into a killing field. Babies beheaded, bodies paraded around like trophies, and women and children thrown into the back of trucks and kidnapped. The world has been brought face-to-face with pure evil. |
OPINION | Recent reports of Iran's involvement in planning Hamas's barbaric attack on Israel have confirmed our worst fears. Israel's 9/11, came on the Jewish Sabbath and ominously the day after the 50th anniversary of the 1973 Yom Kippur War, the last surprise attack on its territory. Despite the progress and the optimism of the Abraham Accords, today Israel finds itself at war and the world has changed dramatically overnight, exploding our perceptions about safety, security and America's place in the world. |
