Democrats desperate to see President Biden reelected are calling for more coordinated force against Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
The independent's rollout this week of patent lawyer and investor Nicole Shanahan as his vice president prompted Biden allies and liberal groups to escalate efforts against him, fearing his newfound cash flow and ballot access could be disastrous in November. |

Former President Trump became the Republican Party's presumptive nominee earlier this month, making him one of only a handful of people to have been a major party's White House nominee three times. Here are the five people in U.S. history who previously earned that distinction: |

Former Trump Defense Secretary Mark Esper on Friday said he is not voting for his old boss but left the door open to voting for President Biden. "I'm not there yet," Esper said after being asked by comedian Bill Maher on his HBO show, "Real Time with Bill Maher," if he would vote for the current president. "I'm definitely not voting for [former President Trump], but I'm not there yet." |

Former Republican National Committee (RNC) chair Michael Steele called former President Trump a "visceral animal" after Trump shared a video depicting President Biden tied up in the back of a truck and a string of attacks against judges overseeing his court cases. Steele, a political analyst for MSNBC, said Saturday the concept of thinking before speaking "is way above Donald Trump's paygrade, or I think, intellectual capacity because he's a visceral animal politically and in business." |

Congressman Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) went after former President Trump's rhetoric, saying he is "glorifying violence" as the California Democrat expressed concerns for the safety of election workers ahead of November. Swalwell, a long-time Trump critic in the House, blasted Trump's rhetoric on the social media platform Truth Social and his constant attacks aimed towards judges and those involved in his civil and criminal cases. |

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) pushed back on rumors that she was asked to leave a slain NYPD officer's wake, saying that nobody told her to in the wake of being confronted by a mourner on Friday. "We always ask: 'Would the families like us there?' If the families say, 'No, this is the time for our personal family grieving, we don't want a politician there,' we don't go," Hochul said on Saturday during an Easter event, according to Politico. |

| The National Archives has sent the House Oversight Committee nearly 6,000 pages of emails as part of Republican's investigation into President Biden. The pair of letters addressed to Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) and obtained by Axios, is dated March 26 and is responding to a request from last September about "certain Presidential and Vice Presidential records from [the] Obama Administration." |

Former federal prosecutor Joyce Vance said she thinks a gag order issued in former President Trump's hush money will likely be expanded, following Trump's recent attacks on the New York judge and his daughter. "Judges typically don't protect themselves simply because they don't need the protection," Vance, a former U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Alabama, said Friday on MSNBC's "Alex Wagner Tonight. "Most good lawyers will insist that their clients behave. That they not, for instance, threaten the judge or a member of the judge's family, so this is a unique situation." |
|
| Maryland Gov. Wes Moore (D) vowed to "move as fast as possible" to reopen the shipping route through the Baltimore port currently stalled with the recent collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge. "We are going to move as fast as possible," Moore said during a press conference on Saturday. "We are going to ensure the safety of our first responders. And we will not compromise one for the other. We are going to do both at the same time." |

| OPINION | In the 1990s, extremists aiming to change Bosnia and Herzegovina's demographic map through "ethnic cleansing" terrorized civilians into leaving their homes. Horrified at witnessing violent forced displacement in real time and wanting to stop it, the then-UN High Commissioner for Refugees Sadako Ogata extolled a new principle she called "preventive protection" and used the term "right to remain." |

OPINION | The last stand of Hamas could lie in the Gazan city of Rafah, where the terror group's last four battalios remain. The only force stopping Israel from completing Hamas's destruction is President Biden. Israel faces a dilemma: will it heed Joe Biden's concerns about the military operation, or do the right thing and eliminate its nemesis? |

As deaths mount in Gaza, some question whether American-provided information is adding to the humanitarian crisis |
President Joe Biden is facing criticism from Donald Trump and religious conservatives for proclaiming March 31 — which corresponds with Easter Sunday this year — as "Transgender Day of Visibility." |
The Affordable Care Act, a law once derided and demonized by Republicans as a big government power grab, is becoming a politically untouchable part of the American safety net, with more than 45 million people now relying on its provisions for health coverage. |
