While still regarded as the most competitive GOP alternative to former President Trump, DeSantis has seen his numbers slip in some polls while other candidates, like businessman Vivek Ramaswamy and former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R), have appeared to close the gap. |

Republican presidential candidate Chris Christie called former President Trump a "certified loser, verified coward," following a Friday report that the 2024 GOP front-runner plans to skip next week's first primary debate. "Surprise, surprise…the guy who is out on bail from four jurisdictions and can't defend his reprehensible conduct, is running scared and hiding from the debate stage," the former New Jersey governor wrote Friday in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter. "Trump — certified loser, verified coward." |

The Biden campaign on Friday seized on reports that Donald Trump will skip the first GOP primary debate in Wisconsin, arguing the state is a symbol of the former president's "failed leadership."

Former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales on Friday said former President Trump "should serve time" if he is convicted on federal charges related to his efforts to overturn the 2020 election. "If in fact he's convicted of the crimes charged by Jack Smith and the Department of Justice …yeah, I think he should serve time, quite frankly," Gonzales, who served in former President George W. Bush's administration, said in an interview with former White House press secretary and MSBNC host Jen Psaki. |

Former White House lawyer Ty Cobb on Friday said while former President Trump's expected surrender in Georgia next week likely won't rattle him, "he won't enjoy it." Asked how the reputation of the jail in Fulton County, Ga., may affect Trump psychologically, Cobb suggested the impact would be miniscule. "I do think it will have some, you know, some impact on him… He won't enjoy it," he told CNN anchor Erin Burnett. "But, you know, to the extent that it, it'll rattle him… I don't see that happening." |

OPINION | The rapid rollout of generative artificial intelligence tools such as Open AI's ChatGPT and Google's Bard has caused an uproar among leaders in government, industry and academia, which are now clamoring for ways to control the development and use of this emerging technology. The AI landscape is constantly evolving. Although that should not stop policymakers from intervening in the field, their approach to regulation and oversight needs to balance competing goals and be responsive to a rapidly changing geopolitical and technological landscape. |
