Excitement in MAGA world is building over the race to be former President Trump's running mate as he hints a decision could come soon. Attendees on the final day of the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) on Saturday will hold a straw vote over who they most want to see as Trump's second banana. Several hopefuls, including Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.), have spoken at the conference. |

Former President Trump on Friday piled on the praise for Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) during a rally in South Carolina amid speculation Scott is among the front-runners to serve as Trump's running mate. Scott addressed the crowd ahead of Trump at a rally in Rock Hill on the eve of the South Carolina primary. During Trump's remarks, the former president went on an extended tangent to take note of Scott's fervent support. |

Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley gave her clearest answer yet to whether she would accept an invitation to join former President Trump's ticket, claiming Friday that "It's done." Haley, the former governor of South Carolina, said people could no longer argue she launched her bid just to be vice president. Her comments come as both candidates are vying for Palmetto State voters ahead of Saturday's GOP primary. |

Former President Trump rallied a packed, raucous crowd here on Friday afternoon as he sought to deliver a final blow in the battle for the GOP nomination. Around 6,000 people lined up hours in advance to see Trump in a Winthrop University sports arena on the eve of the South Carolina primary. Trump leads his sole remaining rival, Nikki Haley, by more than 30 points in the polling average maintained by The Hill and Decision Desk HQ. |

Former President Trump on Friday signaled he would engage in escalatory trade wars with foreign nations if reelected, a tactic he employed during his first term that economists have warned could worsen inflation. Trump, speaking at a rally in South Carolina on the eve of the primary there, told supporters that would enact the "Trump Reciprocal Trade Act" if he wins a second term. |

Former President Trump's lawyers asked a New York judge Friday to pause the verdict that would require him to pay columnist E. Jean Carroll more than $80 million for defamation, arguing his appeal would likely reduce or dismiss the case entirely. In a court filing, the lawyers asked Judge Lewis A. Kaplan to suspend enforcement of the fines until a month after Trump's post-trial motions — which are due by March 7 — are considered. |

The spigot of American assistance to Ukraine has run dry two years after Russian President Vladimir Putin launched a full-scale invasion across the border, a stark turn after a strong bipartisan response early in the war. Though the United States poured lethal assistance into the country in the weeks and months after the Kremlin's attack, late December marked the last time Washington provided Kyiv with any significant military aid. And it's been more than a year since new aid was last passed. |
|
| Rep. Jared Golden (D-Maine) said he would protect Speaker Mike Johnson's (R-La.) gavel as long as he backs legislation to provide more aid to Ukraine and ensures the government remains open. Golden promised to stave off a motion to vacate if Johnson moves to bring the modified $66.32 billion foreign aid package — which includes border provisions — to the House floor for a vote. |

Former National Rifle Association (NRA) head Wayne LaPierre was ordered to pay more than $4 million for mismanaging charitable funds to the organization he led for over three decades. The Manhattan jury found that LaPierre, along with other leaders of the prominent gun rights group, diverted millions of dollars for lavish personal trips and other questionable expenses, according to the Associated Press. |

OPINION | Barring some extraordinary event, Joe Biden and Donald Trump will be running against each other again this November. According to public surveys, a substantial share of the electorate simply does not believe that this will be the case. Could this dynamic be influencing early national head-to-head polling between Biden and Trump? More than 550 polls have been tracked since January 2023 in Decision Desk HQ/The Hill's polling average, and Trump currently leads Joe Biden by 2.2 points nationally. |
OPINION | Opening a medical bill to see the final cost of your care can be agonizing. As a mom with two young children, in the middle of peak flu, RSV, and stomach bug season, I am always anxious about the cost of caring for my family. It's terrifying not to know what expenses are coming your way for seemingly routine health care services, and the high cost of health care is compounded with a lack of transparency into how much the services we need cost. |

MIDLAND, Texas—Drilling for oil made Tim Dunn, a self-described activist Christian, into a billionaire. His second act has been pumping money to Texas Republicans intent on pushing their party to the right. |
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — A South Carolina man was found guilty Friday of killing a Black transgender woman in the nation's first federal trial over a hate crime based on gender identity. |
JERUSALEM — Even after four months of the most grueling and gruesome work of his life, the anesthesiologist wanted to stay at his post at Nasser Hospital last month when the Israeli tanks closed in. |
