President Donald Trump suggested Saturday that he would brush off Georgia’s requests for federal help if Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA) wins reelection, then conceded he probably shouldn’t have said so.

Rallying in Georgia, Trump touted Rep. Mike Collins, the GOP Senate nominee he endorsed in June, and gubernatorial nominee Rick Jackson. He promised the state would “boom like never, ever before” with the pair in office.

“You know there’s a big difference when a president likes the people representing a state. Like, Collins could call me any time he wants,” Trump said....

President Donald Trump fumed over the crowd former President Barack Obama drew in Michigan on Saturday, complaining at a Georgia rally that the media never gives his own crowds their due.

Obama campaigned with Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed and gubernatorial nominee Jocelyn Benson at a Detroit rally earlier in the day, the first day of in-person early voting in the state.

“Now he’s making a speech for Mohamed, today, in a massive crowd! A massive crowd has shown up? Where are they? They never talk about my crowd,” Trump said, using a name he has repeatedly applied to El-Sayed, whose middle name is Mohamed....

“In the history of our country, this is a defining moral moment,” U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-Georgia) told a crowd outside Cargo Coffee in downtown Madison Friday, as he stood on stage with Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley, the Democratic candidate for governor of Wisconsin.

Warnock has been traveling across the country to support Democratic candidates as his party tries to flip control of the U.S. House of Representative and Senate. He made a detour to Wisconsin, he told the Examiner, because he believes Crowley is a “good man” and because the stakes are high in Wisconsin, like they are in Georgia, due to both states’ history of Republican gerrymandering. “The next governor will preside over the next reapportionment,” he said, “and I think it’s important to have somebody like David Crowley in office.”

“We are seeing gerrymandering supercharged in the South and all across our country with this latest Callais decision,” he said, referring to a Supreme Court ruling legal experts have called a severe blow to the Voting Rights Act. ...

A Democratic lawmaker sounded the alarm Friday over at least 18 rural Alaska polling places that were advertised online but hadn’t opened, all in villages the New York Times described as “key to Democratic hopes.”

“There is no legal excuse for the failure to open these sites,” state Sen. Bill Wielechowski wrote in a letter to Alaska election officials and Republican Lt. Gov. Nancy Dahlstrom, whose office runs elections.

According to Wielechowski, the people tapped to staff those sites never got their voting supplies, and some had no idea the job was theirs....

President Donald Trump left countless onlookers taken aback Saturday after speaking with reporters ahead of his rally in Georgia — and, according to some critics, having a difficult time doing so.

“Speaking to reporters before traveling to Georgia for a rally, Trump could barely speak, but what he said was nutso,” wrote independent journalist Aaron Rupar in a social media post on X to his more than 1.1 million followers.

Trump spoke with reporters Saturday moments after casting his early ballot in Palm Beach, Florida, and at times became combative as reporters pressed him on topics such as government corruption, golfing and the midterms....

Elon Musk acknowledged that SpaceX changed how Ukraine's military can use Starlink and followed it with a stark warning about the war.

In a lengthy post on X Saturday, the billionaire accused Ukrainian forces of violating Starlink's terms of service by using the satellite internet system "for offensive drone strikes to kill people" before announcing, "That loophole was closed last week."

Musk then made clear how much rides on the service. "Were Starlink to be turned off, the Ukrainian front line would collapse immediately," he wrote. "This is NOT a threat, it is simply a statement of fact."...

MS NOW host Jonathan Capehart was in the middle of criticizing Vice President JD Vance’s answer to a grieving military widower on Sunday when his co-host cut in with a correction. He took the remark back on the spot.

The panel on “The Weekend” was discussing Vance’s appearance at a CBS News town hall on Saturday. Joey Amor asked him there about the death of his wife, Master Sgt. Nicole Amor. She was one of six U.S. service members killed March 1 in an Iranian strike in Kuwait.

“There was a failure in the leadership,” Amor told Vance. “And I want to know how this administration is going to start holding those leaders accountable.”...

CNN's justice correspondent singled out President Donald Trump's response to a new criminal probe targeting one of his longtime political allies.

CNN senior justice correspondent Evan Perez called the president's remarks "striking" on Thursday's episode of "The Lead with Jake Tapper," after Trump appeared to throw his weight behind the Justice Department's criminal investigation into Republican operative Corey Lewandowski.

"In fact, they've shut down investigations into people inside the administration," Perez said. "This is a remarkable one. And the president's comments there are striking."...

President Donald Trump's latest Iowa rally took a bizarre turn when a single sentence dissolved into a sound that left critics reeling.

Trump was addressing supporters in Iowa on Thursday and warning them about the battle for control of the Senate when his words suddenly gave way.

"If you don't want communists controlling the U.S. Senate, which is between JAIIIIIIT," he said, widening his eyes and stretching the last word into something closer to a yelp than a word, according to a clip posted to X by journalist Aaron Rupar....
