President Donald Trump's own base is starting to recognize something critics have long warned about, according to an economic analyst.

On Friday's episode of "Receipts Live," The Bulwark economics editor Catherine Rampell and its editor Jonathan V. Last pointed to new AP-NORC polling showing that 55 percent of Republicans believe Trump has prioritized his own business interests since returning to office.

About three-quarters of Americans overall said the same, and a similar share of Republicans said Trump has prioritized the business interests of his friends, family and those close to him, Rampell noted....

Veteran Democratic strategist James Carville thinks a Trump-allied governor's day of reckoning is closer than many expect after a stunning election move.

On Friday's episode of "Politics War Room," Carville and co-host Al Hunt fielded a listener question about Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry, a Republican who suspended the state's congressional primaries after the Supreme Court's ruling in Louisiana v. Callais. Asked whether Landry would ever be held accountable, Carville, a Louisiana native, said he was "beginning to think it might be sooner than most people think."

The question came from a listener in Prairieville, Louisiana, who said Landry declared a state of emergency, stopped the primary while voting was underway and then redrew the congressional map again....

President Donald Trump’s campaign rally in Dalton, Georgia, took a chaotic turn Friday when protesters interrupted his speech, prompting boos from the crowd and an unusual response from the president.

Trump was in Dalton to campaign for Rep. Mike Collins, the Republican nominee challenging Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA), as early voting got underway in Georgia. He stopped speaking as the disturbance unfolded roughly 20 minutes into his remarks, with his MAGA supporters behind him visibly reacting to the commotion.

“Well, you know, they’re paid protesters,” Trump declared, without offering evidence. He then joked that the protesters’ parents would punish them....

Former White House press secretary Joe Lockhart said President Donald Trump is “throwing her under the bus” after Trump publicly suggested Friday that his new press secretary, Katie Zacharia, reconsider the job she started Monday.

Minutes after Trump’s remarks, a senior White House official told Fox News that Zacharia is “transitioning out” of the role, which Fox News and TMZ described as a firing. CNN confirmed she had been fired.

Lockhart, who served as press secretary under President Bill Clinton, said there’s an unwritten rule of the job....

President Donald Trump made the startling admission Friday that he told his newly appointed White House press secretary, Katie Zacharia, to reconsider her job following her rocky debut as the president’s spokesperson.

“Katie is off to a start that the news has been so nasty, I’ve never seen anything like it,” Trump told reporters Friday at the White House. “I said to her, ‘Honestly, if I were you, I’d reconsider — you think about it, but I would reconsider.’”

A reporter could be heard shouting, “What do you want her to do?”...

A former Fox News Radio host accused the network of running a “professional hit job” to take out White House press secretary Katie Zacharia.

Todd Starnes made the charge Friday morning in a post on X that pointed to the network’s own interviews with Zacharia on Thursday night and Friday morning. Starnes worked for Fox News Radio until 2019, when the network declined to renew his contract, The Hill reported at the time.

“Has Katie figured out that Fox News was assigned the task of taking her out as press secretary? That was a professional hit job last night and this morning,” Starnes wrote....

President Donald Trump was once again denied the Nobel Peace Prize, but the winner made sure to mention him in her initial remarks.

And not in a flattering way, reported The Daily Beast.

The Norwegian Nobel Committee announced that Navanethem “Navi” Pillay, 85, a South African jurist and former U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights, won the 2026 prize. Trump, 80, had long sought the honor....

A Republican Senate hopeful absorbed a debate-stage takedown that political observers are calling one of the harshest they've ever seen.

Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA) faced off against Rep. Mike Collins (R-GA) Thursday night during their first debate in Georgia's closely watched Senate race, telling the Republican, "If John Lewis were marching today from Selma to Montgomery, Mike Collins would be grabbing a billy club."

Ossoff tied the line to a social media post from Collins. "This is a man who cheered on a group of young men who were mocking a Black woman on a college campus," Ossoff said. Collins kept his head down and appeared to be jotting notes during Ossoff's attacks, per video from independent journalist Aaron Rupar....

In a bid to navigate the “biggest single mistake” of President Donald Trump’s two terms in office, the president has sparked a new “complete catastrophe,” a panel of journalists argued Monday on MS NOW.

“This war with Iran is going to prove to be the biggest single mistake of Donald Trump's two terms in office,” said David Rohde, MS NOW senior national security reporter. “The Saudi Arabian government could fall there — it's a disaster for this country and it's extraordinary what's happening, just the stakes here every day.”

A cascade of attacks has erupted across the Middle East in recent days amid Trump’s deeply unpopular war against Iran, a conflict that has kept U.S. fuel prices elevated. However, Trump has increasingly blamed the Russo-Ukrainian war for elevated fuel prices....
