President Biden’s approval rating is nearing cataclysmic levels. The kind that led to Republicans picking up 63 seats in the U.S. House in 2010. The only saving grace for the left is that Election Day isn’t here — yet. Things certainly aren’t looking good, as Hot Air’s Allahpundit explains: Mark Penn, who used to be chief pollster for Hillary Clinton, was on Fox News a few days ago surveying the outlook for Democrats. He offered a new phrase: “Virtual impossibility.” As in, it’s a virtual impossibility that Biden can be reelected in 2024 if something doesn’t change dramatically.Biden’s approval with Independents is…

Former President Donald Trump has endorsed J.D. Vance in the Republican primary for Ohio’s open U.S. Senate seat. Trump was unmoved by last-ditch efforts from Vance’s opponents to prevent him from giving his blessing to the venture capitalist and bestselling author. As CNN reports: In a statement, Trump acknowledged the difficult decision he faced in choosing to wade into the crowded primary for the seat of retiring Republican Sen. Rob Portman. At least three other Trump-aligned candidates had been jockeying for his support.”I’ve studied this race closely and I think J.D. is the most likely to take out the weak, but dangerous, Democrat opponent…

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis enjoys a double-digit lead in the polls against his challengers. That doesn’t mean Democrats won’t try to unseat him. Whatever difficulties may come, progressives badly want to see DeSantis lose. Unfortunately, for Democrats, none of their attacks have resonated with the broader electorate. Florida Agricultural Commissioner Nikki Fried fared particularly poorly in the most recent poll in the race, down 23 points to the incumbent governor. According to the polls, Fried is having trouble in the Democratic Primary. The latest survey shows her eight points behind former Republican Gov. Charlie Crist. Does that explain her tweet denying rumors about a sex tape…

Twitter’s board of directors has adopted a shareholder agreement that could stop Elon Musk’s attempt to seize control of the company. The so-called “poison pill” would prevent Musk from outright buying the company. https://twitter.com/unusual_whales/status/1515003380237623299?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1515003821226967040%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es2_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dailywire.com%2Fnews%2Fbreaking-twitter-board-passes-poison-pill-to-stop-musk-takeover Per CNN: The move marks an effort by Twitter’s board to wrest back some control in the deal after Musk’s stunning acquisition offer. The poison pill — a corporate anti-takeover defense mechanism — won’t necessarily stop Musk’s bid in its tracks, but it could make buying the company more expensive or force Musk to the negotiating table with the board. Musk previously offered to buy Twitter…

Eight women are accusing a Trump-backed candidate in Nebraska’s gubernatorial election of groping between 2017 and this year. Business executive Charles Herbster received Trump’s endorsement in October 2021. The most recent polling had the CEO leading the crowded primary field by nine points. The endorsement created some controversy when term-limited Nebraska Governor Pete Ricketts said in response, “While I agree with President Trump on many things, I strongly disagree that Charles Herbster is qualified to be our next governor.” Before today’s revelation, Herbster had shown a natural ability to connect with voters in the Cornhusker State. Hoping to boost his prospects, Donald…

The two remaining abortion clinics in the Bluegrass State have shuttered their doors for the time being.…

Until recently, observers universally considered Benjamin a rising star in the Democratic Party. However, reports indicate that Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) was eager to cut him loose as soon as he became politically radioactive. As NBC New York reports: “I have accepted Brian Benjamin’s resignation effective immediately.
