Americans Can’t Trust Mike Rogers To Give The FBI The Reckoning It Needs

Mike Rogers has spent his entire political career funding and defending the very agencies being weaponized to target Americans.

McConnell reveals what he really thinks of Trump, 'MAGA movement' in new biography



Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) appears willing to kneecap his party before stepping down as Republican leader at year's end.

The 82-year-old, who figures he has a shot at re-election in 2026, reportedly lashed out against the increasingly diverse, populist, and anti-war GOP in an upcoming biography, claiming the "MAGA movement is completely wrong."

In an excerpt from the biography obtained by CNN, McConnell told the Associated Press' Michael Tackett, "I think Trump was the biggest factor in changing the Republican Party from what Ronald Reagan viewed and he wouldn't recognize today."

'We are all on the same team now.'

The book, which reportedly draws on an "oral history" that McConnell has been recording for the past 30 years, is apparently replete with anti-Trump barbs that Democrats will likely liberate from context and utilize in the final stretch before Election Day.

McConnell told CNN in a statement that despite the anti-Trump venom that lines the pages of the book, things between him and Trump are now copacetic.

"Whatever I may have said about President Trump pales in comparison to what JD Vance, Lindsey Graham, and others have said about him, but we are all on the same team now," said McConnell.

Prior to endorsing Trump in June, the nominal Republican clearly had plenty to get off his chest.

"Unfortunately, about half the Republicans in the country believe whatever [Trump] says," McConnell complained sometime before the end of Trump's first term. "I think I'm pretty safe in saying it's not just the Democrats who are counting the days until he leaves on January 20, but the Republicans as well."

In addition to suggesting that Trump should have been impeached, McConnell called the 45th president a "sleazeball" and a "narcissist" and accused him of being "stupid as well as being ill-tempered."

According to McConnell, President Donald Trump — who recently overtook Kamala Harris in four national polls and beat the odds in 2016 — has "done a lot of damage to our party's image and our ability to compete."

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) recently accused McConnell of adversely impacting his compatriots' ability to compete, telling BlazeTV host Mark Levin, "McConnell runs the largest Republican super PAC in the country and has $400 million, but that super PAC is used to reward the Republican senators who obey him and to punish those who dare to stand up to him."

Cruz, referring to the Senate Leadership Fund, which is run by McConnell's former chief of staff, noted that he had not received a penny from the fund. The McConnell-aligned fundraising group also starved Florida Sen. Rick Scott of funding this cycle.

'The Senate Republican leader is supposed to help Republicans, not undermine them.'

Extra to complaining about Trump, McConnell criticized Florida Sen. Rick Scott, who unsuccessfully challenged him in 2022.

“I don't think Rick makes a very good victim," said the nominal Republican. "I think he did a poor job of running the [Senate campaign] committee. His plan was used by the Democrats against our candidates as late as the last weekend [before the election]. He promoted the fiction that we were in the middle of a big sweep when there was no tangible evidence of it. And I think his campaign against me was some kind of ill-fated effort to turn the attention away from him and on to somebody else."

Scott said earlier this year that McConnell effectively neutralizes Republican voters' representation in the U.S. Senate, lording over one part of a two-person dictatorship.

"In the Senate, there's two dictatorships," said Scott. "There's a McConnell dictatorship on the Republican side, and then there's the [Chuck] Schumer dictatorship."

McConnell's biography reportedly also highlights the trouble he had with Trump calling his wife, former Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao, the senator's "China loving wife, Coco Chow," and details how he wept during the Jan. 6, 2021, protests.

Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) responded to McConnell's quotes, calling his attacks on Trump and Scott "indefensible."

"Those running for Senate GOP leadership posts need to weigh in on this & commit never to sabotage Republican candidates & colleagues — particularly those who are less than two weeks away from a close election," tweeted Lee. "We must have clarity from the candidates running to replace McConnell on where they stand on these attacks. They must be clear on how they plan to lead the conference, and on the role of its members."

Lee added that "the Senate Republican leader is supposed to help Republicans, not undermine them. Sadly, we've had too much of the latter."

Responding to McConnell's indication that he plans on "arguing more with [Republicans] probably than the Democrats" in the months to come, Blaze News senior editor for politics Christopher Bedford wrote, "McConnell has been at odds with Republican voters for years. He doesn't care, and it's becoming increasingly obvious."

Trump drags Liz Cheney as she stumps for Kamala Harris: 'Stupid warhawk'



Former Jan. 6 committee member Liz Cheney suggested in August 2020 that Kamala Harris was "a radical liberal who wants to raise your taxes, take away your guns and your health insurance, explode the size of our federal government and give it control over every aspect of our lives. She would recreate America in the image of what we've seen on the streets of Portland and Seattle. We won't give her the chance."

On Thursday, Cheney urged voters in Wisconsin to give Harris a chance.

Addressing a crowd in Ripon, Cheney said that she and Harris are "bound together by the one thing that matters to us as Americans more than any other. And that's our duty to our Constitution."

Cheney, apparently willing to now overlook Harris' difficulties with various amendments in the Constitution, suggested further that the border czar would "defend the rule of law," "unite this nation," and "inspire all of our children."

When asked about Cheney's endorsement of the vice president, President Donald Trump did not hold back, telling a reporter, "Liz Cheney lost for Congress. She was terrible. ... Liz Cheney is a stupid war hawk. All she wants to do is shoot missiles at people."

Trump suggested further that the endorsement is not the flex the Harris campaign figures it for, stating, "I think they hurt each other. I think they're so bad, both of them."

Cheney lost by a landslide in the Republican primary on Aug. 16, 2022. Trump-backed Rep. Harriet Hageman (R-Wyo.) secured 66.3% of the vote. Cheney went home with less than 29% of the vote.

While Cheney's work on House Democrats' Jan. 6 committee helped her alienate voters, it became clear over time that she was only nominally conservative.

Conservative Review assigned Cheney a Liberty Score of only 51%. After all, she voted: to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act and require the federal government and all states to recognize the validity of homosexual "marriages"; to extend chain migration to adult dependents of employment visa holders; in support of gun control; to fund the Biden-Harris administration's vaccine mandates; to sign women up for the draft; to squash debate on American involvement in a foreign war; and to give up on the border wall.

Trump continued bashing Cheney on Truth Social Thursday, writing, "Liz Cheney lost her Congressional Seat by the largest margin in the history of Congress for a sitting Representative. The people of Wyoming are really smart! She is a low IQ War Hawk that, as a member of the J6 Unselect Committee of Political Hacks and Thugs, ILLEGALLY DESTROYED & DELETED all documents, information, and evidence."

The Republican similarly trashed the former congresswoman's father, former Vice President Dick Cheney, noting that he was "a leader of our ridiculous journey into the Middle East, where Trillions of Dollars were spent, millions of people were killed - and for what? NOTHING!"

Former Vice President Dick Cheney, who championed the invasion of Iraq at the cost of thousands of U.S. service lives and trillions of dollars, endorsed Harris last month, stating, "In our nation's 248-year history, there has never been an individual who is a greater threat to our republic than Donald Trump."

'Liz Cheney was willing to kill thousands of your children.'

"Well, today, these two fools, because the Republican Party no longer wants them, endorsed the most Liberal Senator in the U.S. Senate, further Left than even Pocahontas or Crazy Bernie Sanders — Lyin' Kamala Harris," wrote Trump. "What a pathetic couple that is, both suffering gravely from Trump Derangement Syndrome. Good Luck to them both!"

The president's remarks resembled in substance those shared by his running mate early last month.

Cheney revealed during a "fireside chat" in early September at Duke University's Sanford School of Public Policy that she would be voting for Harris "because of the danger that Donald Trump poses."

Blaze News previously reported that when confronted that same week with Cheney's remarks, Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) said, "This is a person whose entire career has been about sending other people's children off to fight and die for her military conflicts and her ridiculous ideas that somehow, we were going to turn Afghanistan — a country that doesn't even have running water in a lot of places — into a thriving liberal democracy."

"And for that, Liz Cheney was willing to kill thousands of your children," added Vance.

"I think it's the best thing in the world that she's supporting Kamala Harris," continued Trump's running mate. "Kamala Harris and Liz Cheney make very, very interesting partners. They get rich when America's sons and daughters go off to die. They get rich when America loses wars instead of winning wars. And they get rich when America gets weaker in the world."

On Thursday, Kamala Harris said of Cheney's endorsement, "Liz Cheney stands in the finest traditions of its leaders."

"The president of the United States must not look at our country through the narrow lens of ideology or petty partisanship or self-interest," continued the vice president. "In the face of those who would endanger our magnificent experiment, people of every party must stand together."

JD Vance celebrates Liz Cheney's endorsement of Harris, says they're well-paired: 'They get rich when America gets weaker'



Former Jan. 6 committee member Liz Cheney has endorsed Kamala Harris for president despite having previously warned that Harris was a "radical liberal" who would take away Americans' guns and health insurance and give the government "control over every aspect of our lives."

During an interview Wednesday with Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk at the Generation Church in Mesa, Arizona, Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) suggested that the Democratic Party is where the likes of Cheney now belong — that her endorsement is "the best thing in the world."

Cheney partook in a "fireside chat" this week at Duke University's Sanford School of Public Policy, discussing the forthcoming election as well as the 2022 congressional primary election in which Rep. Harriet Hageman (R-Wyo.) netted more than double the number of votes Cheney received.

Echoing the New York Times' David French, Cheney stated, "As a conservative, as someone who believes in and cares about the Constitution, I have thought deeply about this, and because of the danger that Donald Trump poses, not only am I not voting for Donald Trump, but I am voting for Kamala Harris."

'This is a person whose entire career has been about sending other people's children off to fight and die for her military conflicts.'

This endorsement comes two years after Republican primary voters in Wyoming overwhelmingly rejected Cheney and just days after scores of nominally Republican staffers who served under President George W. Bush, the late Sen. John McCain (Ariz.), and failed presidential candidate Sen. Mitt Romney (Utah) similarly threw in their lots with Harris.

It also represents a major about-face for Cheney, who in November 2020 suggested that Harris sounded "just like Karl Marx."

A month earlier, Cheney wrote, "Kamala Harris is a radical liberal who wants to raise your taxes, take away your guns and your health insurance, explode the size of our federal government and give it control over every aspect of our lives. She would recreate America in the image of what we've seen on the streets of Portland and Seattle. We won't give her the chance."

Cheney told Fox News in August 2020:

It's very clear, [Kamala Harris] is a radical liberal. She's somebody that has said we ought to spend $32 trillion on Medicare for all. If you look at her record as well in California, she did in fact essentially ban gun sales with executive action and she threatened during the primaries to do the same thing if she's elected.

Cheney noted further that the economic policies favored by Harris would make "matters worse" for Americans.

'Kamala Harris and Liz Cheney make very, very interesting partners.'

Charlie Kirk informed Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) of Cheney's endorsement Wednesday, noting, "It's so interesting that every failed warmonger in the established D.C. ... 'machine' is behind Kamala Harris; that the peacemakers are behind Trump and Vance. Blessed are the peacemakers is what the Scriptures say."

Vance responded, "A very good thing that I could say about the next presidency of Donald Trump is that he's going to make sure that people like Liz Cheney are laughed out of the Oval Office instead of rewarded."

"This is a person whose entire career has been about sending other people's children off to fight and die for her military conflicts and her ridiculous ideas that somehow, we were going to turn Afghanistan — a country that doesn't even have running water in a lot of places — into a thriving liberal democracy," said Vance. "And for that, Liz Cheney was willing to kill thousands of your children."

"I think it's the best thing in the world that she's supporting Kamala Harris," continued Trump's running mate. "Kamala Harris and Liz Cheney make very, very interesting partners. They get rich when America's sons and daughters go off to die. They get rich when America loses wars instead of winning wars. And they get rich when America gets weaker in the world."

Vance suggested that whereas Cheney and Harris are keen on continued interventionism and foreign entanglements, "We want American strength, American security, and most importantly, peace."

The Harris campaign welcomed Cheney's endorsement in a statement obtained by NBC News.

"She is a patriot who loves this country and puts our democracy and our Constitution first," said Harris campaign chair Jen O’Malley Dillon.

"Vice President Harris will be a president for all Americans, regardless of political party. For any American who is looking to reject the chaos and division of Donald Trump, turn the page, and pursue a new way forward that protects our freedoms and defends the American values we all believe in, there is a place for you in the Harris-Walz coalition, and we will continue working to earn your support," added Dillon.

McCain, Romney, and Bush staffers who backed Biden to avoid 'disaster' now siding with Kamala Harris



Having ostensibly grown tired of relative international stability, of waiting for a new American military adventure, of unleashed domestic energy, and of rolled-back regulations, scores of Republican staffers who served under President George W. Bush, the late Sen. John McCain (Ariz.), and failed presidential candidate Sen. Mitt Romney (Utah) threw their support behind Joe Biden in 2020.

They suggested that the country lost its "moral compass" under President Donald Trump, citing the continued existence of the previously uncriticized, Obama-era detention facilities for undocumented minors, as well as Trump's occasional "vulgarity." The former staffers determined that the U.S. needed "an adult back in the room."

On Monday — the three-year anniversary of the Biden-Harris administration's botched withdrawal from Afghanistan and the Abbey Gate bombing that claimed the lives of 13 American service members — the same nominal Republicans doubled down, throwing in their lot with Vice President Kamala Harris.

The small army of relative unknowns' corresponding endorsement letter, first obtained by USA Today, stated, "Four years ago, President George W. Bush, the late Sen. John McCain, and then-Gov. Mitt Romney alumni came together to warn fellow Republicans that re-electing President Trump would be a disaster for our nation. In those declarations we stated the plain truth, each predicting that another four years of a Trump presidency would irreparably damage our beloved democracy."

The letter reveals its author(s) and the signers may be further left than their former Republican affiliation might suggest.

The letter noted further that the signers' previous soothsaying did not account for the subsequent Jan. 6 protests or claims of a stolen election.

"We reunite today, joined by new George H.W. Bush alumni, to reinforce our 2020 statements and, for the first time, jointly declare that we're voting for Vice President Kamala Harris and Gov. Tim Walz this November," continued the letter.

The letter acknowledges that the signatories have some "ideological disagreements with Vice President Harris and Gov. Walz," but does not specify how they are in any way ideologically distinct.

It is unclear, therefore, whether the signatories are worried about Harris and Walz's support for radical gender ideology and the corresponding medicalization of confused children; Harris' stated desire to once again enshrine the right to kill the unborn nationally; or their preferred candidate's support for granting 11 million illegal aliens amnesty.

In its regurgitation of a false Democratic talking point about Project 2025, the letter reveals its author(s) and the signers may actually be fellow travelers.

"At home, another four years of Donald Trump's chaotic leadership, this time focused on advancing the dangerous goals of Project 2025, will hurt real, everyday people and weaken our sacred institutions," says the letter.

The Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 is the product of a collaboration between hundreds of conservative groups, policy wonks, and scholars, all keen to "take down the Deep State and return the government to the people."

Blaze News previously reported that Project 2025 has made numerous policy recommendations that recent polling indicates are popular with Americans, such as increase oversight of the Department of Justice and FBI; unfetter American energy production to drive down prices and boost the economy; oust obstructionist partisans in the federal bureaucracy; secure the border and oust illegals aliens; and ban men from participating in women's sports.

Although the project's recommendations appear to resonate with potential voters, President Trump has disavowed it.

After suggesting mainstream conservative views are "dangerous," the letter asserts that Harris and Walz "will strive for consensus, not chaos," and "make our country and our children proud."

The letter has 238 signatures from former staffers who majoritively held positions of little consequence — particularly those who worked on the McCain and Romney presidential campaigns. There are, however, slightly bigger names among the signatories.

'Nobody knows who these people are.'

Among them: Reed Galen, an original co-founder of the Lincoln Project, the anti-Trump group that staged a fake white supremacist rally in 2021 to smear then-candidate Glenn Youngkin ahead of the Virginia gubernatorial election and whose co-founder John Weaver reportedly had a habit of sexually harassing young men online.

Galen runs the Home Front Substack, where he speaks glowingly about Democratic personalities and criticizes Trump and the Republicans who would dare support him.

Micah Spangler, who Politico previously indicated led the effort among Romney acolytes in 2020, is also now backing Harris. Just months before the border crisis would unfold under his preferred candidate, Spangler stressed that the country "desperately" needed someone like Biden in office.

"We need an adult in the room," said Spangler.

Olivia Troye, a former adviser to Vice President Mike Pence, is another signatory. Troye recently spoke at the Democratic National Convention, joining former Illinois Rep. Adam Kinzinger in begging Republicans not to vote Republican in November. Troye said, "You aren't voting for a Democrat; you're voting for democracy."

George H.W. Bush chief of staff Jean Becker, George W. Bush senior energy under secretary David Garman, former McCain legislative director Joe Donoghue, McCain 2008 campaign press secretary Jennifer Lux, and various special assistants and interns also signed the letter.

The Trump campaign isn't taking the letter seriously, largely because the signatories lack star power.

Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung told the Washington Examiner Monday, "It's hilarious because nobody knows who these people are."

"They would rather see the country burn down than to see President Trump successfully return to the White House to make America great again," added Cheung.

Levin: Making America great again. Reagan and Trump's similar rise to the presidency



Donald Trump and Ronald Reagan have more in common than you might think.

According to Mark Levin, Reagan was the “greatest vote-getter in Republican history” despite coordinated attacks on his candidacy.

“The same propaganda or wrong analysis or intentional effort to undermine Trump was used against Reagan,” he explains.

While Reagan and Trump have incredibly different personalities, their roads to the White House were both unlikely and quite similar.

In a 2016 article from New York Magazine, Frank Rich writes, “Reagan and Trump’s opposing styles belie their similarities of substance. Both have marketed the same brand of outrage to the same angry segments of the electorate.”

Levin disagrees with Rich’s “cheap shots,” but agrees with the overall idea.

“The same jeering press attracted some of the same battlefront allies (Roger Stone, Paul Manafort, Phyllis Schlafly), offended the same elites (including two generations of Bushes), outmaneuvered similar political adversaries, and espoused the same conservative populism,” Rich continued.

And Levin believes Trump can do it again.

“He already served for four years. We the American people are quite familiar with him, and we are quite familiar with the people who are trying to undermine him,” Levin says.

Hold up: Did RINO Texas politicians ACTUALLY impeach an elected attorney general with ZERO evidence?



According to Glenn Beck, something is very wrong in Texas.

The Texas state legislature is holding an impeachment trial for Attorney General Ken Paxton, but Glenn believes it might not be a legitimate trial but rather a RINO Republican hit job.

Texas Scorecard managing editor Brandon Waltens has been keeping tabs — and tells Glenn just what he knows.

“There is an impeachment going on of probably the strongest attorney general in the nation,” Glenn says, before asking Waltens how Texas got to this point.

Waltens explains that Ken Paxton was accused of abusing his office to help a friend by employees at the Office of the Attorney General, who then went to the FBI and reported him.

Over Memorial Day weekend, Texas lawmakers voted to impeach Paxton “based on testimony that wasn’t sworn testimony,” Waltens says. “Ken Paxton wasn’t made aware of their investigation until it came out, 48 hours before the vote.”

Waltens notes that the “House members were unable to look at the actual testimony; they had to rely on the word of the House as investigators.”

Paxton was not even allowed to respond in his own defense.

While those who have been pushing the impeachment have claimed the testimony and evidence would be groundbreaking, the trial started last week, and it’s anything but.

“The testimony has really, really been weak,” Waltens says.

According to the third whistleblower, “the concern began when Paxton advocated for the AG’s office to open an investigation into Nate Paul, alleged mistreatment by the FBI and Texas DPS during a raid.”

The whistleblower came to the “opinion” that Paul, who is Paxton’s friend, was a criminal who was not to be associated with.

Paxton believed the FBI was untrustworthy, which Glenn jokes is “far-fetched,” and hired outside counsel to help explore and adjudicate Paul’s claims.

Those who have been called to testify have discussed how “insane” it would be to investigate the FBI, which Waltens finds interesting, as a recent poll reports that 78% of Texans do not trust the FBI.

“It looks like someone else, some outside force is involved here,” Waltens says.

Ron DeSantis' response to being called a RINO is a total MIC DROP



A RINO is someone who is a Republican in name only, not in their actions.

Will Witt of The Florida Standard sat down with Florida governor and presidential candidate Ron DeSantis to ask him for a response to Trump supporters calling him a Republican in name only.

“I have the boldest record of any elected Republican in the country,” DeSantis confidently tells Witt.

“How many establishment Republicans would send troops to the southern border? How many establishment Republicans would ban transgender surgeries for minors? How many establishment Republicans would eliminate critical race theory from our K-12 schools? How many establishment Republicans would have been willing to fund transportation for illegal aliens to go to Martha’s Vineyard? How many establishment Republicans would have done the constitutional carry for the Second Amendment or the heartbeat bill?”

Mic drop.

DeSantis goes on to tell Witt that “we have a strand in our party that views supporting Trump as whether you are a RINO or not. And so you could be the most conservative person since sliced bread. Unless you’re kissing his rear end, they will somehow call you a RINO.”

He adds that “if all we are is listless vessels” that follow “whatever happens to come down the pike on Truth Social every morning, that’s not going to be a durable movement.”

However, Trump supporters did not like that sentiment, likening calling them “listless vessels” to Hillary Clinton calling Trump supporters “deplorables.”

Pat Gray notes that this disdain for DeSantis has been explained in a recent poll.

CBS News took a survey of 2,061 Americans, which ended up showing that Trump supporters have more trust in Donald Trump than in their family, friends, or religious leaders.

“Team Trump did post a press release asking DeSantis to apologize for his comments,” Keith Malinak responds, “and I think they posted that on Truth Social, if I’m not mistaken. So, the irony is kind of thick.”

Matt Gaetz defends himself when criticized for going to 'Barbie' movie event



Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida defended his decision to attend a "Barbie" movie event even though Hari Nef, a man who identifies as a woman, plays one of the Barbie characters in the film.

According to Politico, Gaetz and several other lawmakers were spotted at the event held at the British Embassy on Monday.

"Glad to see @mattgaetz enjoying the Barbie premiere. The movie where 'Doctor Barbie' is played by a Trans actor. Wonder why we can't win culture wars? Republicans love being included with the rich and famous too much," Mindy Lafevers tweeted.

"If you let the trans stop you from seeing Margo Robbie……the terrorists win….." Gaetz responded.

— (@)

But others were also bothered by Gaetz's attendance at the event.

"This is why Republicans lose. These people make excuses, pretend to care about the issues we do, then mock us by doing things like this thinking their seats are safe. We’re out here boycotting while he’s going to premiers w/ men in woman face & mocking us," someone wrote in response to Gaetz's tweet. At the end of the tweet, the author added the hashtag "#RINO," an acronym that stands for "Republican in name only."

"I don't ever wanna hear your hot takes on culture wars ever again since you just proved you’re not serious about fighting them," someone else declared in response to Gaetz's tweet.

Gaetz's wife, Ginger, has recommended that people opt not to go see the "Barbie" movie.

"Thinking about watching the Barbie movie? I'd recommend sticking to getting outfit inspiration and skipping the theater," Ginger Gaetz wrote. "Here's why: The Barbie I grew up with was a representation of limitless possibilities, embracing diverse careers and feminine empowerment. The 2023 Barbie movie, unfortunately, neglects to address any notion of faith or family, and tries to normalize the idea that men and women can't collaborate positively (yuck)." One of her complaints was "Disappointingly low T from Ken."

Trump lambastes Florida governor as 'RINO GLOBALIST'



Former President Donald Trump blasted Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis as a "RINO GLOBALIST" in a post on Truth Social.

"The real Ron is a RINO GLOBALIST, who closed quickly down Florida and even its beaches. Loved the Vaccines and wasted big money on 'Testing.' How quickly people forget!" Trump wrote on Wednesday, using an acronym that stands for "Republican in name only."

Trump also shared posts from other Truth Social users who had criticized DeSantis.

"DeSantis has never been America first, he is faking it trying to build his conservative credentials until he is elected president. Jeb Bush, Karl roves, Paul Ryan they are hiding in the background pushing him. Governor is as far as he goes," someone declared in one of the posts that Trump shared.

DeSantis, a Republican governor who secured reelection last year, is widely viewed as a potential 2024 presidential contender, though he has not announced plans to run — if the governor does throw his hat into the ring, he would need to defeat Trump in order to secure the GOP presidential nomination — Trump announced in November that he is seeking another term in the White House.

Trump has said that DeSantis would not have become the 2018 GOP gubernatorial nominee or won election without his support — Trump said that when he hears that DeSantis may run, he views that prospect as "very disloyal."

Trump has repeatedly referred to DeSantis as "Ron DeSanctimonious."

He said that he voted for DeSantis during the 2022 governor's race.

Former U.S. ambassador to the U.N. Nikki Haley, who served during a portion of Trump's White House tenure, is reportedly planning to announce a presidential bid later this month.

"Nikki has to follow her heart, not her honor. She should definitely run!" Trump said in a post on Wednesday. Trump's post included a 2021 clip of Haley saying that she would support Trump if he were to run in 2024 and that she would not run if he ran.

"I would not run if President Trump ran," she said when asked if a Trump presidential run would preclude her from running. During her comments in 2021, Haley went on to say that the issue is one they would discuss if that choice needed to be made, though that portion of her comment was not included in the clip Trump shared in his post.

\u201cI asked @NikkiHaley if she would support Donald Trump if he runs again in 2024.\n\n\u201cYes,\u201d she told me.\n\n\u201cI would not run if President Trump ran, and I would talk to him about it,\u201d she added. \u201cThat\u2019s something that we will have a conversation about, at some point.\u201d\n\nStory upcoming\u201d
