    Trump Ousts Massie — But Supporters Immediately Float a Bigger Comeback

    Crowds erupted into chants of “2028” and “President!” Tuesday night as Rep. Thomas Massie delivered a defiant concession speech following his stunning Republican primary defeat — raising fresh questions about whether the longtime Kentucky libertarian could emerge as an outsider figure in the next presidential cycle.

    Massie, who represented Kentucky in Congress since 2012, lost his seat to Trump-backed challenger Ed Gallrein in what was widely described as the most expensive House primary race in U.S. history.

    The race became a high-profile test of President Donald Trump’s continued grip on the Republican Party, with Trump repeatedly urging supporters to back Gallrein while launching blistering attacks on Massie throughout the campaign.

    Trump at one point called Massie a “major sleazebag” and “the worst Republican congressman in history” as tensions between the two escalated over a series of high-profile disagreements.

    Massie had increasingly broken with the administration on issues ranging from the “Big Beautiful Bill” and military action to efforts surrounding the release of files related to Jeffrey Epstein.

    But Tuesday night’s concession speech quickly shifted from political obituary to something closer to a campaign rally.

    “Listen, I would’ve come out sooner, but I had to call my opponent and concede,” Massie joked to supporters. “And it took a while to find Ed Gallrein in Tel Aviv.”

    The crowd erupted in cheers.

    Massie later urged supporters to accept the outcome, telling them his defeat was “God’s will.”

    Then someone shouted: “We’re just getting started!”

    “I like that,” Massie replied with a smile.

    Moments later, the room broke into chants of “2028.”

    “What happens in 2028?” Massie asked with a grin.

    The crowd immediately answered with another chant:

    “President!”

    Laughing, Massie played along.

    “All right, you’ve made a compelling argument,” he said. “You spoke your piece, but I need a medical margarita first, and we’ll talk about it later.”

    Watch via C-SPAN:

    Whether the moment was simply a crowd of disappointed supporters refusing to say goodbye — or the earliest hint of a future national movement — remains unclear.

    Massie has never publicly indicated interest in a White House run, and his loss Tuesday marked a major political setback. Still, figures who cultivate anti-establishment appeal and challenge party leadership have repeatedly found influence beyond Congress.

    For now, Massie may be headed out of Washington. But if the reaction from supporters Tuesday night was any indication, some in his base appear convinced his political story may not be ending — only changing direction.

    Trump Makes Last-Minute Endorsement In Texas Senate Race

    President Trump finally announced who would receive his coveted endorsement as early voting in the Texas State battle kicks off.

    President Trump officially endorsed Ken Paxton on Tuesday, bucking establishment Republicans.

    Incumbent Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) appeared Monday to have given up any hope of receiving an endorsement from President Trump.

    “I think that ship has finally sailed,” Cornyn said after voting in Austin, Texas, according to the Austin American-Statesman’s John Moritz. 

    The incumbent senator noted, though, that he would welcome a campaign visit by the president in the fall if he wins the runoff over Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R).

    Trump on Monday endorsed more than two dozen Republican candidates in races across the country but notably did not pick a favorite in the runoff between Cornyn and Paxton. 

    However, Trump teased on Tuesday morning that he ultimately would make an endorsement, saying he’s known who he would throw his support behind for a while but kept it under wraps.

    Shortly after Cornyn and Paxton advanced to the runoff in March, Trump said he would endorse a candidate and asked that the candiate he did not back to drop out of the race. Despite Paxton’s hard-line support for the president, he vowed he would not to drop out. 

    Cornyn recently has touted his support for Trump. He wrote Monday on the social platform X that he has a 99.3 percent voting record with the president’s position and is “proud of what we have accomplished together.”

    His pinned post on his X account is also a photo of him and Trump on the campaign trail in 2024.

    The winner of the runoff will take on Democrat nominee James Talarico, who defeated Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) in the March primary.

    Thomas Massie Faces Trump Loyalty Test in Record-Shattering Kentucky Primary

    Rep. Thomas Massie is staring down the biggest political threat of his 14-year congressional career on Tuesday as President Donald Trump and his allies unleash a political war chest in an effort to take out one of the last major Republican holdouts willing to publicly challenge him.

    The showdown between Massie and Trump-backed retired Navy SEAL Ed Gallrein has turned into the most expensive House primary battle on record, with more than $32 million flooding into the race as both sides saturate northern Kentucky with attack ads, outside money, and even AI-generated deepfakes.

    What was once a simmering feud has morphed into an all-out MAGA civil war.

    Massie has spent years carving out a reputation as a libertarian-leaning conservative who often votes independently and sometimes infuriates Republican leadership. But his relationship with Trump deteriorated after repeated clashes over the administration’s handling of issues ranging from the release of government files connected to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein to U.S. involvement in Iran and Trump’s signature domestic package, the “One Big Beautiful Bill.”

    Trump eventually stopped hiding his frustration.

    The president blasted Massie as the “worst Republican Congressman in history” before personally recruiting Gallrein to challenge him and putting the full force of his political operation behind the effort.

    Now the question hanging over Kentucky is simple: Can even Thomas Massie survive a direct collision with Trump?

    The spending numbers alone look staggering.

    According to reporting from The New York Times, pro-Trump groups and organizations unhappy with Massie’s opposition to U.S. policy toward Iran spent heavily against the Kentucky congressman, including millions from groups tied to pro-Israel advocacy efforts. Meanwhile, Massie received support from outside groups and donors from across the political spectrum eager to keep one of Congress’s most unpredictable Republicans in office.

    Massie has leaned into that dynamic as the campaign entered its final days.

    “After months of beating around the bush, one reporter finally writes the true story of my race,” Massie said after reporting highlighted major outside spending against him.

    The race has also veered into bizarre territory.

    The New York Times reported that opposing groups unleashed deepfake advertisements depicting fake scenarios involving both candidates. One pro-Massie ad used AI-generated imagery portraying Gallrein abandoning Trump on a battlefield, while a pro-Gallrein advertisement depicted an AI-generated Massie socializing with progressive Democrats.

    Then came perhaps the campaign’s biggest eyebrow-raiser.

    Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth hit the campaign trail Monday to stump for Gallrein in a move that immediately drew criticism because Pentagon leaders traditionally avoid overt participation in partisan campaigns.

    Hegseth, appearing at a Kentucky rally, described Gallrein as “reinforcements” for Trump’s agenda.

    “I have to say up front, for the lawyers, that I’m here in my personal capacity as a private citizen,” Hegseth said.

    Pentagon officials insist the appearance complied with ethics rules and federal law. But critics pointed out that a sitting Defense secretary jumping into a heated primary battle represents a rare break from long-standing Pentagon norms designed to protect the military’s image.

    The Kentucky slugfest is also being watched for what it could reveal about Trump’s grip on the Republican Party.

    Just days ago, Trump-backed forces scored another major win when Louisiana Sen. Bill Cassidy — one of Trump’s longtime GOP critics — lost his renomination battle. (RELATED: Former Senator Laments Anti-Trump Congressman’s Primary Loss)

    Now Republican strategists are watching Kentucky, along with contests unfolding Tuesday in Georgia and Pennsylvania, for clues about whether Trump’s political muscle remains as powerful as ever.

    For years, Massie built his brand around being the Republican who refused to fall in line.

    Tuesday could determine whether that brand still works in Trump’s GOP.

    Former Senator Laments Anti-Trump Congressman’s Primary Loss

    Former Utah Sen. and one-time Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney is mourning the political demise of Sen. Bill Cassidy — calling the Louisiana Republican’s stunning primary loss “a loss for the country.”

    Cassidy became the first elected Republican senator in more than a decade to lose a renomination bid after getting knocked out of Louisiana’s GOP primary Saturday, ending a political career that had been dogged for years by one vote that many conservatives never forgot: his decision to convict President Donald Trump following the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.

    “The Senate to now lose an exceptionally brilliant and creative mind, an MD who chairs healthcare, and a person of character,” Romney wrote Sunday on X. “Bill Cassidy’s departure is a loss for the country.”

    But Trump had a very different reaction.

    The president wasted little time celebrating Cassidy’s downfall on Truth Social, taking a victory lap after years of public feuding with the Louisiana senator.

    “His disloyalty to the man who got him elected is now a part of a legend, and it’s nice to see that his political career is OVER!” Trump wrote.

    Cassidy’s defeat had long been viewed as a looming possibility in Republican circles. Trump-backed Rep. Julia Letlow and Louisiana Treasurer John Fleming finished ahead of Cassidy in Saturday’s contest and now advance to a June runoff after neither candidate secured a majority.

    Sen. John Kennedy suggested nobody should be shocked by the outcome.

    “Unless you’re your god’s perfect idiot, the result was predictable,” Kennedy said on Fox News. “Ground control to Major Tom. The polls have shown for well over a year that Sen. Cassidy was in trouble.”

    He added that Trump’s endorsement of Letlow “was sort of the icing on the cake.”

    Meanwhile, Sen. Lindsey Graham framed Cassidy’s loss as a warning shot to Republicans who break with Trump.

    “There’s no room in this party to destroy his agenda or to destroy him and his family as a Republican,” Graham said during an appearance on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

    “If you align with Democrats to drive him out of office, like Cassidy did, you’re going to lose.”

    Cassidy, however, used his concession speech to fire off what appeared to be a parting shot at Trump and the election challenges that followed 2020.

    “When you participate in democracy, sometimes it doesn’t turn out the way you want it to,” Cassidy told supporters. “You don’t pout, you don’t whine. You don’t claim the election was stolen. You don’t manufacture some excuse.”

    For Romney, Cassidy’s exit marks the fading influence of one of the GOP’s shrinking anti-Trump bloc.

    The relationship between Romney and Trump has been icy for nearly a decade. Romney sharply criticized Trump during the 2016 presidential race, briefly joined his orbit after the election during a highly publicized meeting over a possible Cabinet role, then became one of Trump’s fiercest Republican critics in the Senate.

    Romney ultimately became the only Republican senator to vote to convict Trump during both impeachment proceedings — first over Ukraine and later over Jan. 6 — putting him on a collision course with Trump and many Republican voters.

    Cassidy joined Romney in the second impeachment vote, one of seven Republican senators who voted to convict. Now, a few years later, Republican voters in Louisiana appeared to deliver their own verdict.

    Stephen Miller Reportedly Sidelined By Trump Admin.

    White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Stephen Miller — long viewed as one of the chief architects of President Donald Trump’s hardline immigration agenda — is reportedly losing influence inside the administration as other top officials gain the president’s ear.

    According to a new report from The Atlantic journalists Michael Scherer and Nick Miroff, Trump has privately expressed concern that Miller’s aggressive instincts sometimes go too far, marking a notable shift for one of the president’s most loyal and powerful longtime advisers.

    The report claims Trump “has also told others in recent weeks that he understands Miller sometimes goes too far.” The alleged change reportedly became more noticeable following unrest in Minneapolis and the death of protester Alex Pretti.

    Trump reportedly “recognized immediately after the second killing in Minneapolis, of the protester Alex Pretti, that the policy needed to shift.” Miller, however, took a far more confrontational tone, referring to Pretti as a “domestic terrorist” in the aftermath of the incident.

    For years, Miller has been one of the most influential figures in Trump’s orbit. The former Senate aide rose to prominence during Trump’s first campaign in 2016 and quickly became the driving force behind many of the administration’s toughest immigration policies, including travel bans, refugee restrictions, and mass deportation proposals.

    Unlike many Trump officials who cycled in and out of the administration, Miller built a uniquely durable relationship with the president. His fiery populist rhetoric and uncompromising stance on immigration made him a hero to many MAGA voters, while critics accused him of pushing excessively punitive policies.

    But according to The Atlantic, recent months have revealed growing divisions within the administration over how aggressively to pursue Trump’s immigration crackdown.

    The report states that Trump backed away from several Miller-backed initiatives after consulting with border czar Tom Homan and other officials. One major example involved a proposal to slash seasonal worker visas by 50%, a move that reportedly alarmed business interests and other administration figures.

    “The new secretary is listening to Tom Homan and Rodney Scott before he is ever listening to Stephen Miller,” one senior administration official told Scherer and Miroff.

    Another former official summed up Miller’s changing position bluntly: “The president knows who he is, period.”

    The Atlantic also reported that while there have been no known clashes between Homan and Miller, the two men have promoted very different strategies for carrying out Trump’s mass-deportation agenda.

    Miller has reportedly pushed for maximizing deportation numbers as quickly as possible, while Homan has favored a more targeted approach focused on illegal immigrants with criminal records.

    “There have been no accounts of clashes or tension between Homan and Miller, and the former has even praised the latter as ‘one of the most brilliant people I’ve met in my entire life,’” the report noted.

    Still, Homan’s influence appears to be growing.

    According to the report, the Department of Homeland Security has quietly reversed several changes Miller pushed earlier in Trump’s second term. One key example involved accelerated training for new ICE recruits.

    Miller had reportedly advocated for shortening ICE academy training to roughly eight weeks in an effort to rapidly expand deportation operations. Veteran officers reportedly warned that the abbreviated training created serious concerns, especially as dropout rates surged among recruits.

    “In recent weeks, ICE reverted to a four-and-a-half-month training program similar to its former academy course,” the report stated, citing three officials familiar with the matter.

    Despite the apparent shift, insiders told The Atlantic that Miller remains deeply embedded in Trump’s inner circle and is not expected to leave the administration anytime soon.

    “White House insiders said that Miller remains a top adviser to the president, that he has a singular relationship to Trump built over the past decade, and that his job is not in jeopardy,” Scherer and Miroff reported.

    The claims stand in stark contrast to earlier reporting that portrayed Miller as perhaps the single most influential policy figure in Trump’s second administration.

    A bombshell report published by The New York Times in March suggested Miller had effectively become the driving force behind major Justice Department priorities.

    “It was clear from the start that Mr. Miller, who is not a lawyer, would exercise control inside the department, current and former Trump aides said,” the Times reported at the time.

    Whether Miller’s reported decline in influence proves temporary or permanent remains unclear. But the emerging picture suggests that even some of Trump’s most trusted allies are now competing for influence as the administration navigates mounting political and public pressure over immigration enforcement and domestic unrest.

    Inside Stephen Miller’s Push To Preserve Political Power

    Few political advisers in modern American politics have maintained influence as persistently as Stephen Miller. Long known as the architect behind many of President Donald Trump’s most hardline immigration policies, Miller is once again at the center of intense political scrutiny.

    New reports published by The Daily Beast and widely circulated through media outlets including AOL News describe what insiders characterize as a carefully managed effort by Miller to preserve — and potentially expand — his political influence within the Trump movement.

    According to those reports, Miller has reportedly reduced his public profile while continuing to exercise substantial behind-the-scenes control over immigration strategy and White House operations. Critics describe the effort as a “shadow influence campaign,” while allies argue he remains one of the administration’s most effective policy strategists.

    The story has reignited broader questions about executive power, political loyalty networks, and the role of unelected advisers in shaping federal policy.

    The Reports Behind “Stephen Miller’s Secret Plot to Cling on to Power”

    The current controversy emerged after investigative reporting suggested Miller had intentionally stepped back from public visibility while maintaining substantial operational authority behind the scenes.

    According to reporting cited by The Daily Beast’s PunchUp investigations unit, several senior administration officials claimed Miller’s apparent “retreat” from media appearances was strategic rather than accidental.

    Claims Reported by Media Outlets

    The reports allege that:

    • Miller continues participating in high-level immigration discussions
    • He maintains influence over Department of Homeland Security operations
    • Public-facing responsibilities have shifted toward other officials
    • Internal strategy meetings reportedly still center around Miller’s priorities
    • Political allies remain embedded across federal agencies

    Importantly, many of these claims rely on anonymous sources familiar with internal discussions. No public evidence has emerged proving unlawful conduct or formal attempts to bypass constitutional processes.

    The Department of Homeland Security publicly denied suggestions of internal conflict, stating officials work collaboratively to implement administration priorities.

    The “Quiet Power” Strategy

    One of the most discussed aspects of the latest reporting is the idea that Miller intentionally reduced his public visibility.

    Political analysts say this approach reflects a broader strategy often used by influential White House advisers: remain operationally powerful while avoiding media backlash.

    Reported Strategic Changes

    Public RoleBehind-the-Scenes Activity
    Fewer TV appearancesContinued policy meetings
    Reduced public interviewsCoordination with immigration officials
    Lower social media profileInternal strategy influence
    Delegated public messagingMaintained advisory authority

    Critics argue the strategy allows controversial policy initiatives to continue without attracting the same level of public scrutiny.

    Supporters counter that Miller’s reduced visibility merely reflects an effort to focus on operational efficiency rather than cable news appearances.

    The Role of Tom Homan and DHS Leadership

    Several reports suggest Miller’s influence now overlaps significantly with other immigration hardliners, including Tom Homan.

    Some insiders described Miller and Homan as operating “in lockstep” on immigration strategy.

    The reports also referenced tensions surrounding leadership appointments within DHS and ICE.

    Key Issues Reportedly Under Debate

    • ICE leadership succession
    • Deportation targets
    • Enforcement visibility
    • Recruitment and training standards
    • Public communications strategy

    However, official government statements have rejected narratives of dysfunction or internal rivalry.

    Facts vs. Analysis

    To maintain clarity, it is important to separate verified reporting from interpretation.

    Verified Facts

    • Stephen Miller remains an influential Trump adviser
    • He has played a major role in immigration policy since 2016
    • Multiple outlets reported he reduced public appearances
    • Administration officials confirmed continued coordination between Miller and DHS leadership
    • Internal debates reportedly exist regarding immigration strategy

    Analysis and Interpretation

    • Claims of a “secret plot” are interpretive descriptions, not legal findings
    • Allegations about power consolidation rely heavily on anonymous sourcing
    • Assertions about long-term political ambitions remain speculative
    • No evidence has emerged suggesting unconstitutional activity

    This distinction matters because politically charged headlines often blur the line between factual reporting and analytical framing.

    Conclusion

    The debate surrounding Miller’s role reflects broader tensions inside modern American politics — especially over immigration, executive authority, and the growing role of influential advisers operating outside the public spotlight.

    Verified reporting confirms that Miller remains deeply involved in immigration policy discussions and maintains substantial influence within Trump-aligned political circles.

    As the political landscape continues to evolve heading into the final stretch of another highly contested election cycle, Miller’s growing influence is likely to remain under intense scrutiny from supporters, critics, and media organizations alike.

    For now, one thing remains clear: despite reducing his public profile, Stephen Miller remains one of the most consequential — and controversial — political strategists in Washington.

    Trump Conducts Surprise Straw Poll As 2028 Speculation Swirls

    President Donald Trump teased the possibility of a future Republican “dream team” this week, but despite renewed speculation surrounding Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the president has made clear he has not yet chosen a favorite to carry the MAGA mantle into 2028.

    Speaking to a group of law enforcement officials at the White House on Monday, Trump openly polled the crowd about who should succeed him once his second term ends.

    “I don’t know. Who’s it going to be? Is it going to be JD? Is there going to be somebody else? I don’t know,” Trump said before asking attendees directly, “Who likes JD Vance? Who likes Marco Rubio? All right. Sounds like a good ticket.”

    Applause in the room appeared louder for Vance, though Trump quickly clarified he was not offering an endorsement.

    “By the way, I do believe that’s a dream team. But these are minor details. That does not mean you have my endorsement under any circumstance,” Trump said. “But you know … I think it sounds like presidential candidate and vice presidential candidate.”

    The remarks immediately fueled speculation about the shape of the 2028 Republican primary field, which is increasingly viewed as likely to revolve around Vance and Rubio — two rising stars who have become central figures in Trump’s administration and broader MAGA movement.

    Trump himself has repeatedly suggested Vance is currently the favorite to inherit the movement, while also leaving the door open to Rubio playing a major role.

    Last August, Trump said Vance would “most likely” be the GOP nominee in 2028.

    “Well, I think most likely, in all fairness,” Trump said at the time. “He’s the vice president. I think Marco is also somebody that maybe would get together with JD in some form.”

    Still, Trump stopped short of a formal endorsement then as well.

    “I also think we have incredible people, some of the people on the stage right here, so it’s too early obviously to talk about it,” he added. “But certainly, [Vance] is doing a great job, and he would be probably favored at this point.”

    Rubio, for his part, publicly signaled support for Vance last year, telling Vanity Fair: “If JD Vance runs for president, he’s going to be our nominee, and I’ll be one of the first people to support him.”

    Yet speculation about Rubio’s own ambitions has only intensified as he has emerged as one of the administration’s most visible and influential officials, juggling a growing list of high-profile responsibilities within Trump’s orbit.

    At the same time, some political observers believe the eventual 2028 field may not unfold the way many Republicans currently expect.

    Political analyst Mark Halperin argued Friday that Vance and Rubio are unlikely to engage in a bruising primary battle against one another despite widespread media speculation.

    “We get to what I think is driving a lot of this, besides people loving Marco Rubio — and a lot people in my sources do — is Vance,” Halperin said during his online show.

    Halperin pointed to concerns among some Republicans about Vance’s public image and political style, arguing Rubio may have advantages in traditional campaign settings.

    “I will say that in the next two years, as people in the party and the media are comparing Rubio and Vance side by side, I don’t think Vance can win the performance competition,” Halperin said. “I think Rubio has improved enough and the perceptions are such that Vance is going to have a hard time.”

    Still, Halperin ultimately predicted that if Vance decides to run, Rubio would likely avoid challenging him directly.

    “These two guys are genuine friends,” Halperin said. “You cannot beat an incumbent vice president running for president unless you rip their face off. That’s just the way our politics work.”

    Halperin floated another possibility that has received relatively little attention so far: Vance and Rubio eventually joining forces on a single ticket.

    “If Vance runs, I think they’ll run together,” he said. “I think they’ll be a ticket, and they may even announce as a ticket from the beginning of the campaign.”

    He also suggested there remains a real possibility Vance could ultimately decline to run altogether, citing the intense scrutiny presidential campaigns place on candidates and their families.

    “So if Vance chooses not to run, and I think that’s a possibility, probably because of his kids, I think Rubio will be in an extremely strong position,” Halperin said.

    Watch:

    For now, however, Trump appears content to encourage speculation without settling the question himself.

    While Vance remains widely viewed as the early frontrunner thanks to his position as vice president and close alignment with Trump’s political movement, Rubio’s growing stature within the administration has made him impossible to ignore in conversations about the GOP’s post-Trump future.

    And despite the president’s playful “dream team” comments this week, Trump has repeatedly emphasized one thing above all else: the race to succeed him is still far from decided.

    Man Arrested After Theatening To Bomb White House and Kill Trump, Marco Rubio, Pam Bondi

    Federal agents hauled in a Florida man accused of unleashing a string of violent online threats against President Trump, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and former Attorney General Pam Bondi — including chilling posts about bombing the White House and using a gun against the commander in chief.

    Nathaniel Sanders II, 32, appeared in federal court Monday after prosecutors say he spent months posting alarming threats on social media targeting top officials, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida.

    The feds say Sanders repeatedly threatened to kill Trump, Rubio and Bondi in posts shared between January and April.

    One of the most disturbing messages allegedly posted to X read: “Imma bomb the (expletive) White House.”

    In another alleged video posted to Instagram, Sanders invoked first lady Melania Trump while talking about owning a firearm.

    “I don’t know what to do Melania, like, all I got is a gun. It’s the only thing I can use now is a gun,” Sanders allegedly said, according to the criminal complaint.

    Rubio was also allegedly targeted in a separate video.

    “Like when I get my hands on him, I’m gonna hurt him. Simple as that,” Sanders allegedly said.

    Federal prosecutors didn’t mince words about the seriousness of the threats.

    “Threats against public officials are not political speech,” U.S. Attorney Jason A. Reding Quiñones said in a statement.

    “They are serious federal crimes that endanger public safety and the rule of law. The complaint alleges that this defendant repeatedly threatened to assassinate the President of the United States and other senior officials,” he added.

    “Those allegations will now be tested in court. Our Office will continue working with the U.S. Secret Service and our law enforcement partners to investigate threats, protect public officials, and ensure that those who violate federal law are held accountable.”

    Sanders has been charged with threatening the president of the United States and transmitting threats in interstate commerce. If convicted, he faces up to 10 years in federal prison.

    The investigation involved the U.S. Secret Service, U.S. Capitol Police, U.S. Diplomatic Security Service and the Miami Beach Police Department.

    “Making threats against the President of the United States is a federal crime, and we treat it with the seriousness it deserves every time,” said Michael Townsend, special agent in charge of the Secret Service’s Miami Field Office.

    “It does not matter where the threat is made or what platform is used, our agents will identify you, investigate you, and work alongside our federal and local partners to bring charges when appropriate,” Townsend added. “We remain relentless in our mission to protect the President and to act swiftly against anyone who puts others at risk.”

    A Secret Service spokesperson told Fox News Digital that Sanders’ arrest stemmed from a “protective intelligence investigation” designed to identify dangerous threats before suspects can act on them.

    Trump Leads Early Odds for Nobel Peace Prize After ‘Snub’ — Bookmakers Say 2026 Could Be His Year

    President Donald Trump is already the man to beat for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize — at least according to one major European bookmaker.

    U.K.-based William Hill has installed Trump as the early favorite, giving him 3/1 odds to take home the prestigious award — despite the fact that the secretive Nobel Committee hasn’t even confirmed its list of nominees yet.

    The betting giant says Trump was “overlooked” in 2025 — when the prize instead went to Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado — but believes this year could be different.

    “Trump is the leading contender,” said spokesperson Lee Phelps, putting his chances at roughly 25%.

    That’s actually a dip from late last year, when oddsmakers were even more bullish on Trump’s chances — but he still tops the field.

    From ‘Snub’ to Front-Runner

    Trump allies were vocal last year after Machado took the prize for her fight for democracy in Venezuela.

    Many supporters argued Trump deserved recognition for his foreign policy moves during his second term — including efforts to broker peace in global conflicts.

    Adding fuel to that argument: Machado herself later honored Trump in a highly symbolic gesture, presenting him with her Nobel medal at the White House as a sign of gratitude for his role in Venezuela’s political shift.

    (While the Nobel Committee made clear the award itself can’t be transferred, the moment still sent a powerful message.)

    Trump Makes His Case

    Trump hasn’t exactly been shy about his ambitions.

    The president has repeatedly said he deserves the Nobel, pointing to what he claims are multiple ended conflicts and major breakthroughs on the world stage.

    “I should have gotten it four or five times,” he’s said in the past — a line that continues to resonate with his supporters.

    What Happens Next?

    As always, the Nobel process remains tightly under wraps. Hundreds of candidates are nominated each year by lawmakers, academics, and past winners — but the official shortlist is never made public.

    The winner of the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize will be announced in October.

    Until then, Trump sits in a familiar position: at the center of global attention — and, this time, at the top of the odds board.

    Trump-backed Candidates Win Big In Indiana

    President Donald Trump just sent a thunderous warning shot to the GOP establishment — and Indiana Republicans who crossed him are paying the price.

    In a stunning early midterm showing, Trump-backed primary challengers are on track to topple at least five of the seven Indiana state senators who defied the president last year on a controversial redistricting vote, according to ABC News.

    The races, usually ignored by national media and flooded with only modest cash, suddenly became political war zones after Trump vowed revenge against Republicans who sided with Democrats to block a congressional map overhaul designed to strengthen GOP power in Washington.

    And voters appear to have listened.

    The seven targeted incumbents were among 21 Republican state senators who broke ranks last year and voted against the mid-decade redistricting proposal — a move that infuriated Trump and his allies.

    Now, most of them are heading for the exits.

    One incumbent, state Sen. Greg Goode, narrowly survived against a Trump-endorsed challenger. Another, state Sen. Spencer Deery, remained locked in a razor-thin battle late Tuesday night against Trump-backed Paula Copenhaver.

    But nearly everywhere else, Trump’s handpicked candidates surged to victory.

    Even in a district where the anti-redistricting incumbent chose not to seek reelection, the Trump-endorsed candidate was projected to win — underscoring the president’s growing influence deep inside Republican state politics.

    Trump celebrated the victories Tuesday night with a flurry of triumphant social media posts highlighting the winning candidates alongside his own image — a clear signal that he sees the results as a major political flex heading into the 2026 midterms.

    The outcome is especially notable because these races became some of the most expensive state Senate primaries Indiana has seen in years. Trump-aligned groups and outside organizations poured millions into defeating the incumbents, overwhelming candidates who were unprepared for a nationalized political assault.

    The clashes also exposed lingering divisions inside the Republican Party.

    In one closely watched contest, former Vice President Mike Pence backed incumbent state Sen. Jim Buck, breaking publicly with Trump. But Pence’s support wasn’t enough. Trump-endorsed challenger Tracey Powell defeated Buck decisively Tuesday night.

    The Indiana results are likely to energize Trump allies nationwide, who see the victories as proof that Republican voters remain fiercely loyal to the president — and willing to punish GOP officials viewed as disloyal.

    For establishment Republicans hoping Trump’s grip on the party might weaken ahead of the midterms, Indiana delivered a very different message.
