Fox News host Laura Ingraham appeared to take a thinly-veiled shot at former President Donald Trump Wednesday night. Ingraham delivered a message to prospective Republican presidential candidates, warning anyone who puts their own grievances and ego above the success of the conservative movement.

Trump has essentially made this a condition of his endorsement. He also backed many first-time candidates, including public figures such as former news anchor Kari Lake, former TV doctor Mehmet Oz, and former football star Herschel Walker. Walker…

Outside of Florida, it failed to materialize. (RELATED: DeSantis and…

While Republicans are doing their best to show a unified front hours before the midterms, former President Donald Trump criticized Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis Saturday night. DeSantis is widely considered the only Republican who could potentially keep Trump from becoming the party’s presidential nominee in 2024.
