    Former Trump Staffer Demands Susie Wiles Resign After GOP Midterm Disaster

      A former Trump administration staffer is calling for White House chief of staff Susie Wiles to step down following Republicans’ devastating midterm election losses, arguing that the president’s longtime political adviser has failed to translate her campaign success into effective White House leadership.

      Caroline Sunshine, who previously served in the Trump administration, delivered the blistering assessment Wednesday during an appearance on Fox News’s Jesse Watters Primetime, declaring that Wiles should resign before President Donald Trump is forced to make the decision himself.

      “I’m gonna say publicly what a lot of people are saying privately: Susie Wiles needs to resign,” Sunshine told host Jesse Watters, according to The Hill.

      “She needs to offer her resignation to the president before he has to ask for it. Her campaign skills have not translated into governing,” Sunshine continued.

      The remarks come as Republicans grapple with the fallout from Tuesday’s elections, which saw Democrats capture control of both chambers of Congress and deliver a significant blow to Trump’s political agenda.

      Sunshine acknowledged Wiles’s pivotal role in Trump’s successful 2024 presidential campaign but argued that the same accountability should apply following the party’s latest setbacks.

      “Susie was behind the historic win in 2024, and she deserved credit for it and got the top job for it,” Sunshine said.

      She argued that Wiles must now accept responsibility for a historic defeat that has jeopardized Republican control of the Senate and raised serious questions about the party’s prospects heading into the 2028 presidential election.

      Sunshine specifically pointed to the unexpectedly competitive Senate race in Mississippi, where Republican incumbent Cindy Hyde-Smith faced a strong challenge from Democrat Scott Colom.

      The race remained uncalled in the reporting cited by The Hill, with Colom holding a narrow lead.

      Sunshine warned that retaining the same White House leadership could lead to further Republican defeats.

      “I think if she loves and respects the president and his legacy, she’ll do the right thing and step aside because on the current trajectory, we can’t win in 2028 if we keep going down this current lane,” she said.

      The former administration official also blamed failures in political strategy, communications and staffing for the election results.

      “And a lot of this was staff failure, a lot of this was strategy and messaging failure,” Sunshine said. “It’s the chief of staff’s job to manage the staff.”

      Sunshine’s criticism extended beyond her appearance with Watters.

      During a separate Fox News election broadcast, she described the Republican losses as preventable and called for additional members of Trump’s political team to resign.

      “Tonight was not a failure for the president,” Sunshine argued, characterizing the results as a warning from Trump’s supporters about the administration’s direction.

      She maintained that the White House needed new personnel willing to respond to the concerns expressed by Republican voters, according to Media Matters’ transcript of the broadcast.

      The public demand for Wiles’s resignation follows weeks of speculation about her future in the administration.

      In October, Politico reported that Trump had privately consulted political allies about Wiles’s performance and discussed potential replacements.

      Among the names reportedly considered were Deputy White House Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, New York Yankees President Randy Levine, special envoy Steve Witkoff, federal housing official Bill Pulte and former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.

      Separate reporting from The Washington Post described growing competition among senior administration figures amid expectations that Wiles could depart following the elections.

      Trump, however, has repeatedly rejected suggestions that his chief of staff is on her way out.

      Responding to the Politico report last month, the president dismissed the speculation as false and declared that Wiles had his “COMPLETE confidence.”

      In a subsequent interview with CNN, Trump went even further, saying there was “zero chance” he was considering replacing her.

      “Susie is here and she’s gonna be here for a long time,” Trump told CNN’s Kristen Holmes.

      The president has consistently praised Wiles, who became the first woman to serve as White House chief of staff after helping guide his return to the presidency in 2024.

      Not everyone in Trump’s orbit has embraced the speculation about her departure.

      Semafor reported in October that numerous administration officials and advisers doubted Trump would remove Wiles, with some suggesting the rumors were being fueled by individuals seeking to improve their own standing within the White House.

      Still, the election results have intensified scrutiny of the president’s senior advisers.

      The Financial Times reported Wednesday that Republicans were increasingly turning on one another following the losses, with disputes emerging over the administration’s handling of the Iran war, economic concerns and the party’s broader political strategy.

      Sunshine’s remarks add to that growing debate over who should be held accountable for the Republican setbacks.

      For Trump, the controversy presents a difficult political decision: stand behind one of his most trusted advisers or consider a leadership shake-up as his administration prepares to confront a Democratic-controlled Congress.

      Despite the mounting criticism, Trump has not publicly indicated that he intends to remove Wiles.

      Five ‘Ultra MAGA’ Congressional Candidates Who May Suprise The Mainstream Media Next Month

        Washington – 3rd Congressional District – Joe Kent

        Joe Kent won a contested Republican Primary against pro-impeachment Jaimie Herrera Beutler earlier this year, much to the dismay of her fellow “Impeach” voters. Now, Kent is in a fight to keep the seat in Republican hands. Axios Seattle reported that after Herrerra Buelter’s “primary loss in August, the non-partisan Cook Political Report reclassified the race from “likely Republican” to “leans Republican.”

        “Kent is a staunch pro-lifer” and “has previously said he supports the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade and would like to see a nationwide abortion ban.” “I believe life begins at conception,” he told Portland’s KGW news station in July. Joe Kent is also a staunch gun rights defender and has made known “his belief that the Second Amendment does not allow for restricting gun ownership rights in any way and he would oppose new restrictions.”

        Axios Seattle also noted that Kent has criticized “the recently enacted Inflation Reduction Act as (an example) of government overspending that (has ) fueled inflation. He also has blamed Biden for high gas prices.”

        OPB reported this week that

        “Political prognosticators believe the race skews in Kent’s favor. Trump won the district in 2020 by 4 percentage points. He endorsed Kent, who edged out Herrera Beutler despite a crowded primary. The Cook Political Report considers the race to “lean Republican.” Still, that is a downgrade from its earlier “solid Republican” rating before Herrera Beutler fell short.”

        Michigan – 3rd Congressional District – John Gibbs

        Another certified RINO-Hunter, Gibbs beat out the now-to-be one-term anti-Trump freshman Peter Meijer who was one of the Republicans who voted to impeach 45 last year. Gibbs has solid conservative credentials from his service in the Trump Administration as Assistant Secretary of Housing and Urban Development for Community Planning and Development. His background of truly living the American dream and going from growing up lower class to graduating from Harvard helps appeal to a wider demographic than just the Republican base voter.

        The Cook Political Report ranks the seat as having a partisan voter index (PVI) of EVEN and an overall rating of “Toss-Up.”

        New York – 14th Congressional District – Tina Forte

        New Yorker Tina Forte is running to unseat Democrat (Socialist) Darling Alexandra Ocasio – Cortez. According to Forte’s website, “Tina has been a vocal activist, fighting for families, and calling out hypocritical politicians. She has raised awareness for veterans issues, fought against draconian lockdowns and mandates, demanded schools open for students, and always supported our law enforcement.” Forte is a “small business owner, wife, mother, and grandmother.”

        Forte has a tough uphill climb in the general election, but even some of the Democrats in AOC’s district don’t like her as it appeared that some of them protested a town hall of hers last week. Still: “An AOC spokesperson dismissed the protesters,” and told The New York Post “late Thursday that “the disruptors at last night’s town hall are part of a far-right wing group that regularly protests at vaccine clinics, against LGBTQ rights, etc. They were not constituents.”

        Ohio – 13th Congressional District – Madison Gesiotto Gilbert

        When he chose to run for Ohio’s Senate seat, OH-13’s current representative Tim Ryan vacated a seat that he has narrowly won the past few cycles. A lawyer, commentator, and former Team Trump spokeswoman, Gesiotto Gilbert is a complete package.

        The left is genuinely scared about Gilbert’s candidacy. They literally attacked her over her pro-life views as she was going into labor with her firstborn son last month.

        Gilbert is also a similar kind of candidate to Christina Hagan – who ran for the seat twice in an attempt to unseat Ryan. Now with Ryan out of the picture, Republicans are working hard to finally win the seat. Ohio is also a pretty pro-Trump state, so Gilbert’s time spent as a Trump campaign surrogate is serving her well with the Republican base in that state and district.

        New Hampshire – 1st Congressional District – Karoline Leavitt

        The Gen Z former Trump White House staffer made history last month when she won her primary for New Hampshire’s First Congressional District seat, setting her up for a November showdown with incumbent Democrat Congressman Chis Pappas. Leavitt worked in the Trump White House and was endorsed by a number of Trump’s closest allies early in her campaign – including her old boss and former White House Press Secretary Kaleigh McEnany and Elise Stefanik – House Republican Conference Chairwoman for whom Leavitt worked as Communications Director after leaving the White House.

        The Cook Political Report ranks the seat as having a partisan voter index (PVI) of EVEN and an overall rating of “Toss-Up.”

        Supreme Court Gives Trump Green Light To Resume Third-Country Deportations

        President Donald Trump’s deportation campaign just got a green light from the Supreme Court — with a bigger legal showdown still ahead.

        The justices on Tuesday, September 29, allowed the administration to resume its contested third-country removal policy, pausing a Massachusetts federal court judgment that had blocked it. The apparent 6–3 split left Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson opposing the stay.

        The policy allows immigration officials to send people with final removal orders to countries other than those specified in their orders, often nations other than their homelands. The Court also agreed to hear the case in December, setting up a full review of the administration’s authority.

        DHS Celebrates The Ruling

        DHS General Counsel James Percival welcomed the decision, saying the department’s third-country removal policy was back in effect and calling it the administration’s second Supreme Court victory in less than a week.

        “A bad day for criminal illegals and open borders activists alike,” Percival wrote on X, according to The Daily Wire.

        The administration argues that third-country removals provide a way to deport people whose home countries will not accept them, including individuals convicted of serious crimes.

        In its September 24 emergency application, Solicitor General D. John Sauer described the policy as “an essential tool to remove certain aliens, including some of the worst criminal aliens.”

        A Dispute Over Notice And Safety

        The fight centers on what protections migrants must receive before being sent to another country.

        U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy in Boston found that the administration’s procedures did not provide adequate notice or a meaningful chance to raise fears of torture or persecution at the proposed destination, NPR reported.

        The administration contends that credible assurances from a receiving country that it will not persecute or torture deportees can permit prompt removal. Its court filing says that, without those assurances, the policy provides notice and an opportunity to raise fears of mistreatment.

        Government lawyers also said the lower-court ruling had forced officials to cancel a flight carrying 70 people with criminal convictions to three countries, triggering additional diplomatic negotiations. Those assertions were part of the administration’s request for emergency relief.

        Attorneys challenging the policy argue that removing people without meaningful notice can expose them to serious harm. Their court papers described allegations of arbitrary detention, beatings, sexual assault and people being sent onward to countries from which they had already received protection, according to NPR.

        December Brings The Larger Showdown

        Tuesday’s order gives Trump an immediate enforcement victory, but the policy’s ultimate legality remains unresolved.

        The justices will consider whether the district court had jurisdiction, whether it could grant relief covering the entire class of migrants, and whether the government’s policy violates federal immigration law, constitutional due process or protections against torture.

        For now, the lower-court judgment remains paused while the Supreme Court proceeds toward a final decision.

        Legal Theorists Try To Attack Trump. Their Argument May Be Dead On Arrival.

        A novel legal theory from two conservative legal scholars published in the University of Pennsylvania Law Review that a section of the 14th Amendment makes Donald Trump ineligible to run for president may be getting a court hearing in Florida.

        As Ballot Access news editor emeritus Richard Winger notes:

        On August 24, a Florida voter, Lawrence Caplan, filed a federal lawsuit seeking to bar former President Donald Trump from being placed on 2024 ballots as a presidential candidate. Caplan v Trump, s.d., 0:23cv-61618.

        Caplan, who appears to be representing himself in the case, writes:

        Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which provides for the disqualification of an individual who commits insurrection against our government has remained on the books for some one hundred and fifty plus years without ever facing question as to its legitimacy. While one can certainly argue that it has not been thoroughly tested, that fact is only because we have not faced an insurrection against our federal government such as the one while we faced on January 6, 2021. It should also be noted that President Trump has since made statements to the effect that should he be elected, he would advocate the total elimination of the US Constitution and the creation of a new charter more in line with his personal values.

        Winger believes Caplan’s suit is “misguided:”

        The Fourteenth Amendment “insurrection clause” bars individuals from being sworn in to certain offices, but it does not bar them from seeking the office. When the Fourteenth Amendment was passed, there was no mechanism to prevent any voter from voting for any candidate.

        Caplan appears to be taking the law review article’s authors, William Baude and Michael Stokes Paulson, at their word:

        “No official should shrink from these duties. It would be wrong — indeed, arguably itself a breach of one’s constitutional oath of office — to abandon one’s responsibilities of faithful interpretation, application, and enforcement of Section Three,” Bode and Paulsen write.

        Alternatively, ordinary citizens could file challenges on the same grounds with state election officials themselves.

        And other such suits may emerge over the coming weeks. I’m not convinced any federal judge will be willing to read Section 3 like Baude and Paulson say it should be. It’s not because the Section’s words aren’t clear – they are.

        My concerns are akin to those of Cato’s Walter Olsen, who writes:

        …no one should assume that just because Baude and Paulsen have made a powerful intellectual case for their originalist reading, that the Supreme Court will declare itself convinced and disqualify Trump. Justice Antonin Scalia memorably described himself as a “faint‐​hearted originalist,” which captures something important about the thinking of almost every Justice—if overruling a wrongly decided old case threatens to disrupt settled expectations to the point of spreading chaos and grief through society, most of them will refrain. Stare decisis, and a general preference for continuity in law, still matters.

        Exactly. While some judges may nurse images of themselves as bold crusaders for justice, most jurists aren’t eager to upset established practice and precedent on a whim. Though, to be fair to the times when such upsets have occurred – Brown v. Board of Education, for example, or Griswold v. Connecticut – have been warranted, necessary, and beneficial.

        Does that apply in the Caplan case? A court will decide. But as I’ve long said about Trump, the only court he cares about is public opinion. If voters reject him, that will carry more weight and sanction than any court could ever deliver.

          Fox News Hosts Turn On Trump After Recent Tirade Targeting Former Press Sec.

          The Fox News team is defending former White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany after she became the subject of Trump’s

          “Kayleigh ‘Milktoast’ McEnany just gave out the wrong poll numbers on FoxNews,” Trump wrote in a Tuesday post on Truth Social, “I am 34 points up on DeSanctimonious, not 25 up. While 25 is great, it’s not 34”

          “She knew the number was corrected upwards by the group that did the poll,” he claimed. “The RINOS & Globalists can have her. FoxNews should only use REAL Stars!!!”

          Shortly before Trump’s post, McEnany — a co-host of Fox News’ Outnumbered — had appeared on Fox News’ Jesse Watters Primetime, where she said that Trump’s 2024 Republican primary rival Ron DeSantis appeared to be closing in on the former president in Iowa.

          “The DeSantis team would say, you know, ‘We just had polling come out that shows we closed the gap by 9 points since we announced in Iowa.’ Still, Trump’s hugely ahead, but they say they’re closing the gap. That’s their argument,” said McEnany, who served as Trump’s press secretary between April 2020 and January 2021.

          “If you look at the polling now, it was Trump 34 in Iowa, it’s now Trump 25,” she continued. “That’s double digits.”

          On Wednesday, Brian Kilmeade didn’t hold back from criticizing Trump’s decision to lash out at his former press secretary.

          “Three shots at common weaknesses of the president,” Kilmeade said while discussing “some subtle shots at Trump,” he saw the Florida Governor make during a Tuesday stump speech in Iowa.

          “They see you make things up. They say he’s he flies off the handle. For example, attacking Kayleigh McEnany is insane. She was one of the best press secretaries ever. Dana Perino, as Ari Fleischer watching to say she was fantastic, but she’s an analyst now. She doesn’t work for any campaign.”

          A number of Fox News officials also knocked Trump for his attack on McEnany.

          “This is pathetic. I don’t care who you are. This is unacceptable and unhinged,” reacted Blaze TV host Chad Prather. “[McEnany] took bullets for this man. We have a guy in the White House destroying the country and you go after her?!?!? It’s becoming an absolute joke.”

          Trump Reveals Details Of When Barron Learned Of Assassination Attempt

            The details are coming out…

            Former President Trump said his youngest son, Barron, was playing tennis when he learned in July that his father had been shot at a rally in Pennsylvania.

            Trump recounted the experience in a sit-down interview with Fox News’s “The Ingraham Angle” this weekend, when he returned to the site of the assassination attempt this summer. The interview will air in full Monday evening and a preview was released earlier in the day.

            “Barron was playing tennis with his friends, and somebody walked over and – ran over – and said, ‘Your father’s been shot. He’s been shot,’” Trump said in the interview preview.

            “Barron, and Barron really likes his father a lot,” Trump continued.

            “And he came in: ‘Mom, Mom, Mom, what happened?’ So, and then they saw me get up, and then they saw the fist pump,” Trump said, referring to the viral image taken just moments after he was shot of him raising his fist in the air.

            Trump returned to Butler, Pa. this weekend for the first time since the assassination attempt nearly three months ago.

            Trump, on Saturday, was joined at his return rally by several high-profile guests, including his running mate, Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio), Republican National Committee Co-Chair Lara Trump and tech billionaire Elon Musk.

            Prominent Police Union Endorses DeSantis Over Trump

              The largest police union in Florida is turning its back on Donald Trump…

              The Florida Police Benevolent Association publicly endorsed Florida Governor Ron DeSantis on Monday after supporting former President Donald Trump in 2020.

              “In major cities and communities across America, many Americans are grappling with increased crime rates that not only jeopardize public safety, but also threaten the quality of life in their communities,” President John Kazanjian said. “The ideological experiment of defunding the police and scapegoating law enforcement for America’s social problems has failed.”

              Kazanjian called DeSantis the “one candidate for president who has a proven track record in enhancing public safety and investing in the essential men and women who help maintain public safety every day.

              “For the over 30,000 men and women in the Florida Police Benevolent Association, the choice for us could not be clearer,” he said.

              “Governor DeSantis has made Florida a destination for all Americans to live safely and freely,” the release states. “He is one of the most effective Governors in the nation and he will take his proven track record to the White House, where he will continue to have the backs of law enforcement officers and make public safety a top priority.”

                During a recent interview Independent presidential contender Cornel West expressed doubts President Joe Biden makes it to the general election next year.

                Recently, Biden has been clobbered by numerous polls showing his popularity slipping amongst key voting blocs as Trump surges ahead in battleground states.

                “I’m not even sure whether I’ll be running against Biden,” the independent presidential candidate told Politico. “Biden — I think he’s going to have an LBJ moment [and] pull back.”

                “I’m just saying that I’m open to those possibilities, given the fluidity of the situation,” the renowned academic said. “He’s running out of gas.”

                West noted that while the Republican ticket appears more solid, he added that it’s also possible former President Trump leaves the race “if the weight becomes too heavy with the indictments and court processes.”

                West described Trump as a “pied piper” and a “fascist,” and Biden as a “milquetoast neoliberal.” He said both could lead the country down dark paths, Trump to a civil war and Biden to World War III.

                “I’m more concerned about Trump domestically,” West said. “I’m more concerned about Biden in terms of foreign policy.”

                Report: Denmark Calls On US Envoy Over Alleged Covert Greenland Interference Operations

                Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen summoned the top U.S. diplomat in Denmark over intelligence reports that Americans had conducted covert influence operations in Greenland. 

                Danish public broadcaster DR reported that at least three people with ties to the Trump administration were conducting the operations. The broadcaster cited unnamed security and government sources.

                “We are aware that foreign actors continue to show an interest in Greenland and its position in the Kingdom of Denmark. It is therefore not surprising if we experience outside attempts to influence the future of the Kingdom in the time ahead,” Rasmussen said in a statement sent to Fox News. 

                “Any attempt to interfere in the internal affairs of the Kingdom will of course be unacceptable. In that light, I have asked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to summon the U.S. chargé d’affaires for a meeting at the ministry.”

                Rasmussen also emphasized that the ties between Denmark and Greenland are “close” and “based on mutual trust.”

                Earlier in his second term, President Donald Trump repeatedly spoke about seeking U.S. jurisdiction over Greenland, which is part of the Danish kingdom. In response to Trump’s remarks, both Denmark and Greenland have said that the island was not for sale.

                “For purposes of National Security and Freedom throughout the World, the United States of America feels that the ownership and control of Greenland is an absolute necessity,” Trump said in the Truth Social post.

                In late 2019, Trump said that buying Greenland, which is owned by Denmark, was “strategically” interesting, triggering an angry response from Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen.

                “Denmark essentially owns it. We’re very good allies with Denmark. We protect Denmark like we protect large portions of the world,” Trump said at the time.

                “Strategically, it’s interesting, and we’d be interested, but we’ll talk to them a little bit. It’s not number one on the burner,” he added.

                The U.S. does not currently have an ambassador to Denmark, leaving American diplomat Mark Stroh to serve as the chargé d’affaires. Stroh was summoned to the Foreign Ministry.

                One of the people suspected in the alleged influence operation reportedly compiled a list of U.S.-friendly Greenlanders, collected names of Trump opponents and allegedly encouraged locals to highlight cases portraying the Danish government negatively in U.S. media, according to reports. Additionally, two others are suspected of trying to create relationships with politicians, businesses and locals.

                DR cited eight sources who believe the goal was to weaken ties between Denmark and Greenland.

                The Danish Security and Intelligence Service allegedly told the outlet that it believes “particularly in the current situation, Greenland is a target for influence campaigns of various kinds.”

                In May, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said “you cannot spy against an ally” in response to reports that the U.S. was gathering intelligence on Greenland.
