    Former Navy SEAL Sniper Falls Short as Trump-Backed Barry Moore Cruises to Alabama Senate Nomination

    President Donald Trump’s political kingmaker status scored another win Tuesday night as Rep. Barry Moore steamrolled former Navy SEAL sniper Jared Hudson in Alabama’s Republican Senate runoff, delivering yet another victory for a candidate carrying the Trump seal of approval.

    Moore, a Freedom Caucus firebrand and one of Trump’s earliest supporters dating back to the 2016 campaign, defeated Hudson in the race to replace retiring Sen. Tommy Tuberville, who is leaving the Senate to run for governor. The win positions Moore as the overwhelming favorite heading into November in deep-red Alabama.

    “The greatest days of Alabama are ahead of us,” Moore told supporters during his victory speech, thanking Trump for his endorsement and calling him “the greatest president of my lifetime.”

    The race was widely viewed as another test of Trump’s influence over Republican primary voters — and once again, the president’s preferred candidate came out on top.

    Hudson, a decorated combat veteran and former Navy SEAL sniper, tried to position himself as a political outsider capable of shaking up Washington. The former sheriff’s deputy, firefighter, small-business owner, and anti-human trafficking advocate advanced to the runoff after narrowly edging out Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall in the primary.

    But despite endorsements from several conservative heavyweights and a late surge in some polling, Hudson couldn’t overcome Moore’s institutional backing or Trump’s endorsement.

    Moore also secured support from Vice President JD Vance and Senate Majority Leader John Thune, giving establishment Republicans and MAGA loyalists a rare point of agreement.

    The Alabama showdown is just the latest example of Trump’s continued dominance in GOP primaries ahead of the 2026 midterms.

    On the same night, Trump-backed Georgia Rep. Mike Collins won his state’s Republican Senate runoff and will now face Democrat Jon Ossoff in one of the nation’s marquee Senate races.

    Republican candidates endorsed by Trump have also scored major victories this cycle in several high-profile contests, including Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s defeat of longtime Sen. John Cornyn and Louisiana Rep. Julia Letlow’s successful Senate bid.

    Still, Trump’s endorsement record hasn’t been flawless.

    Georgia Republicans delivered one of the biggest surprises of the cycle Tuesday when billionaire businessman Rick Jackson defeated Trump-backed Lt. Gov. Burt Jones in the state’s gubernatorial runoff, handing the president one of his rare primary losses this year.

    Even with that setback, Alabama’s results underscore a reality that has become increasingly difficult for Republican hopefuls to ignore: when Trump picks a side, GOP voters usually follow.

    Moore will now advance to the general election, where he’ll face Democrat Everett Wess, who emerged victorious in the Democratic runoff Tuesday night. But in a state Trump carried comfortably and Republicans dominate statewide, Moore enters the fall campaign as the clear favorite to keep the seat in GOP hands.

    Trump’s Grip On Georgia Faces Another Test As GOP Runoffs Reach The Finish Line

    President Donald Trump’s political muscle is being put to the test once again in Georgia, where a pair of high-stakes Republican runoff elections on Tuesday will determine not only the GOP’s nominees, but also whether Trump’s endorsements still carry the decisive weight they’ve wielded across much of the MAGA era.

    In the state’s closely watched Senate runoff, Trump jumped into the race just 48 hours before voting ends, throwing his support behind Rep. Mike Collins over former University of Tennessee football coach Derek Dooley.

    “Mike Collins is a true Friend, Fighter, and WARRIOR, who has been with us from the very beginning, and has my Complete and Total Endorsement to be your next United States Senator,” Trump wrote Sunday on Truth Social.

    The endorsement escalates an already intense proxy battle between Trump and Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp, who backed Dooley and deployed his powerful political operation behind the former football coach.

    The race will determine which Republican takes on Democrat Sen. Jon Ossoff in one of the nation’s most competitive Senate contests. With Ossoff the only Democrat senator seeking reelection in a state Trump carried in 2024, Republicans view Georgia as one of their top pickup opportunities.

    Collins, a trucking company owner and current congressman, finished first in last month’s primary with nearly 41% of the vote but fell short of the 50% threshold needed to avoid a runoff. Dooley captured roughly 30% and has presented himself as a political outsider who can appeal beyond the GOP base.

    After Trump’s endorsement, Dooley responded diplomatically.

    “I have great respect for President Trump,” he wrote on X, adding that “the most important endorsement is that of the Georgia people.”

    Trump, meanwhile, contrasted the two candidates sharply.

    “I don’t know Derek Dooley, and neither does anyone else, but he seems like a nice person,” the president wrote before praising Collins as a “very successful Businessman” who is “always fighting tirelessly for our America First Agenda.”

    The clash highlights the lingering tension between Trump and Kemp, whose relationship fractured after the governor certified Georgia’s 2020 election results despite Trump’s objections.

    But the Senate race isn’t the only place Trump’s influence is being tested.

    In Georgia’s Republican gubernatorial runoff, Trump has repeatedly endorsed Lt. Gov. Burt Jones, calling him “my good friend and your next Governor.”

    Yet Jones faces a formidable challenge from billionaire businessman Rick Jackson, who has poured more than $100 million of his own fortune into the race.

    Adding another wrinkle, Trump’s son appeared to break from his father’s preferred candidate on the eve of the election.

    Donald Trump Jr. stopped short of endorsing Jackson but issued a lengthy statement praising the businessman as a “patriot” and highlighting his investments in domestic manufacturing and energy infrastructure.

    “Regardless of what happens in the Georgia Governor’s race tomorrow, we should celebrate the patriots building up MAGA and an America First economy like Rick Jackson has,” Trump Jr. wrote.

    He later clarified: “This is not an endorsement of Rick and I think Burt Jones is a great guy too. My only point is that no matter who wins tomorrow, it’s a victory for MAGA.”

    Jones has also received backing from Kemp, who argued Monday that Republicans must nominate candidates capable of winning in November.

    “My mission is to make sure that we have the best folks at the top of the ticket that can win in November,” Kemp said. “That’s why I’m supporting Burt Jones for governor.”

    Meanwhile, Jackson has assembled his own coalition of national conservatives. Sen. Ted Cruz endorsed him Friday and campaigned with him ahead of the runoff.

    “Rick has an extraordinary record, an extraordinary life story,” Cruz told Fox News. “I also think he’s positioned to win. The stakes are too high. We can’t afford to lose Georgia.”

    Cruz rejected suggestions that his support for Jackson represented a break with the president.

    “The president and I agree on the vast majority of races,” Cruz said. “What I try to do in every race is endorse the strongest conservative who can win.”

    The twin runoffs have become a measuring stick for the competing forces shaping the modern Republican Party: Trump’s personal endorsement power, Kemp’s entrenched state-level machine, and the growing influence of self-funded outsiders willing to spend enormous sums to bypass traditional political structures.

    GOP Senator Warns Trump Is Headed For A Midterm ‘Disaster’ After Brutal Primary Defeat

    A veteran Republican senator who was just driven from office by President Donald Trump’s political machine is now warning that the president may soon regret it.

    Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas), who lost his Republican Senate primary runoff to Trump-backed Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, is predicting that Republicans could face major trouble in the 2026 midterm elections — and that Trump himself will suffer the consequences.

    In an interview with The New York Times, Cornyn said he believes the president is setting himself up for what could become “the most miserable two years of his life” if Republicans lose ground in Congress next November.

    “I think November is going to be a disaster,” Cornyn told the newspaper. “He’s going to have the most miserable two years of his life in the last two years of his term.”

    The warning comes just weeks after Paxton delivered a crushing defeat to Cornyn in the Texas GOP runoff, ending the senator’s more than two-decade Senate career. Trump endorsed Paxton late in the race, helping push the controversial attorney general to victory over one of the most senior Republicans in Washington.

    Cornyn admitted he believed Trump might stay neutral in the contest.

    “I had really thought that we’d gone on so long with no endorsement that he was just going to stay out of it,” Cornyn told the Times. “But he couldn’t resist.”

    The outgoing senator also suggested Trump’s treatment of him revealed a broader problem inside today’s Republican Party.

    “If he would do that to me, he would do that to anybody,” Cornyn said. “There’s never going to be good enough for him, other than 100 percent, slavish adherence to whatever he wants.”

    Cornyn argued that such demands run counter to the constitutional role of senators, who are supposed to provide checks and balances rather than unquestioning loyalty to any president.

    The comments mark one of the sharpest public rebukes Trump has received from a longtime Republican ally. Despite occasional disagreements, Cornyn voted with Trump’s agenda at an exceptionally high rate during the president’s first term and was widely viewed as part of Senate Republican leadership’s institutional wing.

    Trump nevertheless sided with Paxton, whom he praised as a loyal supporter of both himself and the MAGA movement. Following the runoff, Trump wrote on Truth Social that Cornyn would remain his friend and that Republicans would soon see Paxton become “a fantastic, common sense Senator.”

    Cornyn was not impressed.

    “If that’s the way friends treat you, you wonder about his enemies,” he remarked.

    A Growing Republican Concern

    Cornyn’s warning reflects concerns that have quietly surfaced among some Republicans since Paxton’s victory.

    Several GOP senators and strategists argued before the runoff that replacing Cornyn with Paxton could complicate Republican efforts to hold the seat in November. Paxton carries years of political baggage, including impeachment proceedings in Texas and numerous ethics controversies that Democrats are expected to spotlight during the general election campaign.

    According to reporting from Semafor, some Republican senators privately worried that Trump’s endorsement would make the Texas race significantly more expensive and difficult to defend, forcing the GOP to divert resources from other key battlegrounds.

    TIME magazine similarly reported that establishment Republicans viewed Cornyn as a safer candidate and feared Trump’s intervention could create an opening for Democrats in a state that has remained reliably Republican for decades.

    ABC News noted that Cornyn’s loss joins a growing list of Republican officials whose conservative credentials proved insufficient after falling out of favor with Trump.

    Looking Ahead To 2026

    Cornyn’s prediction comes as both parties begin looking toward the 2026 midterms, when control of Congress will once again be on the line.

    Historically, the president’s party often loses seats during midterm elections, particularly during a second term. Should Republicans suffer significant losses in either chamber, Trump could find himself facing congressional investigations, legislative gridlock, and renewed political battles during the final two years of his presidency.

    For now, however, Trump’s grip on the Republican base remains strong enough to reshape the party even against the wishes of many of its elected leaders.

    Cornyn’s defeat may ultimately become one of the clearest examples yet of that reality.

    The question now is whether his warning about a coming Republican “disaster” proves prophetic — or whether Trump’s political dominance continues carrying the GOP through another election cycle.

    Former NBC Host Chuck Todd Suggests a Trump Family Member Could Emerge as GOP Nominee in 2028

    Former “Meet the Press” moderator Chuck Todd says he believes the possibility of another member of the Trump family seeking the White House in 2028 should not be dismissed.

    During a discussion posted Tuesday on social platform X, Todd examined odds from FanDuel’s prediction market regarding potential Republican presidential contenders and suggested that a Trump family member could ultimately emerge as a serious candidate.

    “I’d prefer a flyer on somebody with the last name of Trump,” Todd said.

    Todd specifically mentioned several members of the president’s family, including Ivanka Trump, Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, and Lara Trump, the former Republican National Committee co-chair who is married to Eric Trump and currently hosts a program on Fox News.

    “Any of those four, none of them are 0 percent chances in my head,” Todd added.

    Watch:

    While Vice President J.D. Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio are widely viewed as leading contenders for the Republican nomination once President Donald Trump leaves office, Todd’s comments reflect ongoing speculation about the Trump family’s continued influence within the GOP.

    Recent polling suggests Vance and Rubio remain the early frontrunners in a hypothetical 2028 Republican primary. An Emerson College survey found Vance narrowly leading Rubio, 36 percent to 35 percent, among Republican voters.

    President Trump himself recently fueled discussion about the party’s future during a podcast appearance, where he floated the idea of Vance and Rubio running together on a Republican ticket in 2028.

    “I don’t know how you beat them if they’re together,” Trump said. “That would be a great team.”

    Although Trump stopped short of endorsing either man as his preferred successor, his comments highlighted the growing attention being paid to the next generation of Republican leadership.

    At the same time, members of the Trump family continue to maintain high public profiles. Donald Trump Jr. remains one of the president’s most active political surrogates, while Lara Trump has expanded her media presence and remains popular among many grassroots conservatives. Ivanka Trump has largely stepped away from politics since her father left office in 2021 but continues to generate interest whenever her political future is discussed.

    The prospect of another Trump family member seeking national office remains speculative, and none of the individuals mentioned by Todd have formally indicated plans to run for president. However, the family’s enduring influence over the Republican Party has led political observers to continue viewing them as potential factors in the post-Trump era.

    Todd’s remarks come as Republicans increasingly look ahead to the 2028 election cycle, even as President Trump continues serving his second term and remains the dominant figure within the party.

    ‘Decoy’ Senate Candidate Under Investigation Over Alleged Voter Confusion Scheme Targeting Trump-backed Candidate

    A Senate candidate nicknamed “Decoy Dan” is under investigation by Alaska election officials amid allegations that he entered the race to confuse voters and siphon support from Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan, a key ally of President Donald Trump.

    Alaska Lt. Gov. Nancy Dahlstrom announced Monday that the state has opened a formal investigation into Daniel James Sullivan Jr., a Petersburg resident who recently launched a campaign for the U.S. Senate while sharing the same first and last name as the incumbent senator.

    The probe will determine whether Sullivan’s candidacy was filed in “good faith” or whether it was part of a deliberate effort to mislead voters ahead of Alaska’s Aug. 18 primary election.

    “The Division of Elections has a fundamental obligation to protect the integrity of Alaska’s elections and ensure voters are not deceived about the identity of the candidates on their ballot,” Dahlstrom said in a statement announcing the investigation.

    In a letter sent to Sullivan, Dahlstrom said state officials are examining what she described as “credible allegations” that the candidate entered the race to exploit voter confusion by sharing both the name and party affiliation of the sitting senator.

    “There are credible allegations that you declared your candidacy in coordination with another candidate and campaign out of intention to confuse and manipulate voters by capitalizing on the fact that you share a first and last name with the incumbent senator and have selected the same political party affiliation,” Dahlstrom wrote.

    The controversy erupted after Daniel J. Sullivan switched his candidate filing to Republican shortly before entering the race, placing him on the ballot alongside Sen. Dan S. Sullivan, the Republican incumbent seeking a third term in the Senate. Critics say the move intensified concerns that voters could mistakenly support the wrong candidate.

    The National Republican Senatorial Committee has also weighed in, urging Alaska election officials to reject the candidacy. In a letter to state election authorities, NRSC General Counsel Blake Murphy argued that the filing appears designed to “confuse voters and undermine confidence” in the election process.

    Sen. Sullivan’s campaign has accused Democrats of orchestrating the effort to benefit former Democrat Rep. Mary Peltola, who is mounting a high-profile challenge in one of the nation’s most closely watched Senate races. Republicans currently hold a narrow Senate majority, making the Alaska contest a key battleground in the fight for control of the chamber.

    “Everybody in Alaska knows I’m Dan Sullivan-R,” the senator said last week. “He’s purposely trying to trick my constituents.”

    Peltola’s campaign has flatly denied any involvement.

    “Our campaign has no involvement with either Sullivan campaign,” spokesman Harry Child told The Associated Press.

    The Alaska Democratic Party has likewise denied any connection to the candidate.

    For his part, Daniel J. Sullivan insists his campaign is legitimate and rejects claims that he is serving as a political decoy.

    “I have every right to run for whatever office I’m qualified for, and I’m qualified for this office,” Sullivan told the AP. “I think I’m doing what most Americans would think would be a patriotic thing to do when you’re unsatisfied with the status quo.”

    The challenger, a retired teacher and former U.S. Forest Service employee, said he has had “zero, none, zilch” contact with Peltola’s campaign or Democratic operatives and maintains that running for office was entirely his own decision.

    The unusual dispute has drawn national attention because of the stakes involved. Sen. Sullivan, who has represented Alaska in the Senate since 2015, has been endorsed by President Donald Trump and is viewed as a crucial Republican incumbent in the battle for Senate control. Trump previously praised Sullivan for supporting his agenda and backed his reelection efforts.

    Under Alaska’s election system, all candidates appear on the same primary ballot regardless of party, with the top four finishers advancing to the general election. While candidates will be identified by their middle initials on the ballot, Republicans argue that the presence of two Republican candidates named Dan Sullivan could still create significant voter confusion.

    State officials have not yet announced whether Daniel J. Sullivan will ultimately be allowed to remain on the ballot. The investigation remains ongoing.

    Trump-endorsed Feenstra Concedes To MAHA-backed Lahn In Primary Upset

    A Republican primary battle in Iowa just delivered a major surprise—and a setback for President Donald Trump’s endorsement power.

    According to Fox News, Rep. Randy Feenstra (R-Iowa), who received Trump’s endorsement just days before Election Day, conceded Tuesday night after losing the GOP gubernatorial primary to political newcomer Zach Lahn.

    Lahn, a farmer and businessman backed by allies of the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement, ran on an “Iowa First” platform and overcame what many considered long odds to defeat one of the state’s most recognizable Republican figures.

    The upset is likely to fuel debate inside conservative circles about the growing influence of MAHA-aligned activists and outsider candidates within the Republican coalition.

    Feenstra entered the race with significant advantages. The congressman represented Iowa’s 4th District, enjoyed a fundraising edge, had support from prominent Iowa Republicans—including former Gov. Terry Branstad—and secured a late endorsement from Trump, who praised him as “MAGA all the way” and gave him his “Complete and Total Endorsement.”

    But it wasn’t enough.

    With 99% of votes counted, Lahn held roughly a 1,600-vote lead over Feenstra, according to The Associated Press election tracker cited by Fox News.

    Despite the loss, Feenstra quickly rallied behind his opponent.

    “I just called Zach Lahn, and said, ‘Hey, you got to carry this torch. We got to keep this state red. You got to make sure you beat Rob Sand.’ And I’m all in to help him out,” Feenstra told supporters on election night, according to video shared by Iowa News Now reporter Skylar Tallal and cited by Fox News.

    Lahn’s campaign received backing from MAHA Action, a political organization aligned with the Make America Healthy Again movement. He was also endorsed by the political arm of Turning Point USA, the influential conservative organization founded by the late Charlie Kirk.

    On his campaign website, Lahn describes himself as a father, farmer, and businessman committed to putting Iowa interests first.

    The race opened after Republican Gov. Kim Reynolds announced she would not seek another term, creating Iowa’s first open gubernatorial contest in two decades.

    Lahn now advances to a potentially competitive general election matchup against Democratic State Auditor Rob Sand, Iowa’s only Democratic statewide officeholder. Sand, who advanced through the Democratic primary unopposed, has built his reputation around government accountability and anti-corruption efforts.

    Political handicappers have already signaled that the race could be one of the most closely watched gubernatorial contests in the country. Fox News noted that the Cook Political Report recently shifted the race from “Lean Republican” to “Toss Up,” while Inside Elections continues to rate it “Lean Republican.”

    Trump Endorses Congressman Missing From Washington For Nearly Three Months

    President Donald Trump on Monday threw his support behind Rep. Tom Kean Jr. (R-NJ), even as the two-term congressman remains largely absent from Washington and the campaign trail amid an ongoing health-related disappearance that has fueled speculation across New Jersey’s most competitive House district.

    Ahead of Tuesday’s Republican primary in New Jersey’s 7th Congressional District, Trump issued a glowing endorsement of Kean, who is running unopposed for renomination despite not casting a vote in Congress since March 5.

    On Truth Social, Trump praised Kean as a “Great Representative” and a key ally in advancing the administration’s agenda.

    “A Tremendous Advocate of our America First Agenda, Tom is working tirelessly to Keep our Border SECURE, Stop Migrant Crime, Grow our Economy, Cut Taxes and Regulations, Champion Small Business, Unleash American Energy DOMINANCE, Support our Brave Military and Veterans, and Protect our always under siege Second Amendment,” Trump wrote.

    In offering his backing, Trump added: “GET OUT AND VOTE FOR TOM — HE WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN!”

    The endorsement comes as Kean remains largely out of public view. The congressman has not appeared for votes in the House for nearly three months and has maintained only a limited public presence while recovering from what he has described as a serious but temporary medical condition.

    In late April, Kean acknowledged for the first time that he was dealing with a “personal medical issue,” though he declined to provide details about the illness.

    “My doctors continue to assure me that my recovery will be complete and that I will be back to the job I love very soon,” Kean said in a statement at the time. “I expect to return to a full schedule and be at 100 percent.”

    Questions about Kean’s absence have intensified in recent weeks as one of the nation’s most closely watched House races begins to take shape. While the congressman has remained out of the spotlight, his official congressional and campaign social media accounts have continued posting regularly, creating an unusual situation in which voters have heard from the congressman online but rarely seen him in person.

    Kean told the New Jersey Globe on May 21 that he expected to return to Washington and resume campaigning “in the next couple of weeks.”

    He also sought to reassure constituents about his long-term outlook.

    “My doctors are confident that I’m on the road to a full recovery,” Kean told the outlet. “I understand the need for public transparency, and I appreciate the support of my constituents.”

    Additional reassurance came from Kean’s father, former New Jersey Gov. Tom Kean Sr., who told CNN in mid-May that his son is recovering from a serious but temporary illness.

    Despite his continued absence, Kean’s campaign has remained active. Following Trump’s endorsement Monday, Kean thanked the president in a post on X and encouraged New Jersey Republicans to participate in the primary.

    The timing is significant because New Jersey’s 7th Congressional District is expected to be one of the most competitive House battlegrounds in the country this year.

    While Kean faces no Republican opposition, four Democrats — Rebecca Bennett, Michael Roth, Tina Shah, and Brian Varela — are competing for the chance to challenge him in November.

    National Democrats view the district as one of their best pickup opportunities as they seek to regain control of the House. Republicans, meanwhile, are counting on Kean to defend a seat that could prove critical to preserving the GOP’s narrow majority.

    Kean first won the district in 2022, defeating Democrat Tom Malinowski by just 2.8 percentage points. He secured reelection in 2024 by a somewhat wider 5.4-point margin against Democrat Sue Altman.

    The Cook Political Report currently rates the race a “Toss Up,” placing it among just 18 House contests nationwide with that designation. Fourteen of those highly competitive seats are currently held by Republicans, underscoring the stakes for both parties heading into November.

    For now, Trump’s endorsement provides Kean with a high-profile show of support at a moment when many voters are still waiting for the congressman to fully reemerge from the months-long absence that has become one of the most closely watched political stories in New Jersey.

    Thomas Massie Files 2028 Paperwork After Brutal Primary Defeat

    Rep. Thomas Massie may have lost his congressional seat, but the Kentucky Republican is already signaling he has no plans to disappear from politics anytime soon.

    Just days after suffering a bruising primary defeat to Trump-backed challenger Ed Gallrein, Massie revealed he has already filed paperwork that could keep the door open for another run in 2028.

    “I filed with FEC for the 2028 House race. This allows me to raise funds to continue my political operations supporting my position as a current office holder and as a potential candidate for federal office,” Massie wrote Monday in a post on X.

    “I haven’t made a final decision about which office to seek, if I run,” he added.

    The filing comes after Massie lost Kentucky’s 4th Congressional District Republican primary in what became one of the most closely watched and expensive House races in the country.

    President Donald Trump had aggressively targeted Massie during the campaign, repeatedly blasting the congressman and endorsing Gallrein, a retired Navy SEAL officer.

    The two men had increasingly clashed over a number of issues, including foreign policy and Massie’s push for the release of files related to deceased sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

    Massie had sounded far less interested in a political future just weeks earlier.

    Speaking at a University of Louisville College Republicans event in April, Massie declared: “If I lose on May 19, I am not doing any more government ever.”

    Now, the tone appears to have shifted.

    “I’m keeping every option open, and there’s still an undisclosed paid social media campaign to rewrite history and diminish the platform the Epstein class gave me when they spent tens of millions of dollars to buy the seat,” Massie said in a statement to Fox News Digital.

    “I won’t be going away silently.”

    Massie also made clear that he is not ruling out a larger stage.

    During an appearance on Meet the Press on Sunday, moderator Kristen Welker asked whether he was considering a 2028 presidential run.

    “I will not rule out anything. And right now I’m not gonna rule in anything,” Massie said.

    “I think I will stay engaged in some way or shape. Maybe it’s from the outside. I’ve been exposing what’s going on Washington D.C. for years,” he added.

    The comments come after supporters unexpectedly began chanting “2028” and “President!” during Massie’s concession speech last week, fueling speculation that some backers see the congressman as more than just a defeated House member.

    Whether that turns into a White House bid, another congressional run, or something else entirely remains unclear.

    But one thing appears increasingly certain: Massie may have lost his seat — but he is making it clear he does not view himself as finished.

    Marjorie Taylor Greene Worries Trump Will Try To Cancel 2028 Election

    Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene warned this week that she fears President Donald Trump could attempt to delay or cancel the 2028 presidential election if the United States remains involved in an ongoing war with Iran.

    Greene made the comments during an interview Thursday with Alex Jones, where she argued that remarks Trump previously made about elections during wartime have raised concerns for her.

    “I’m concerned,” Greene said. “And he said it jokingly. But at the same time, knowing President Trump, I looked at that, and I thought, I don’t know if he’s saying it joking.”

    Greene pointed to comments Trump made last year during a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky regarding Ukraine’s delayed elections amid its war with Russia.

    “So you say, during the war, you can’t have elections,” Trump said at the time. “So let me just see. Three and a half years from now — so you mean if we happen to be in a war with somebody, no more elections? Oh, that’s good.”

    Greene suggested that repeatedly raising the concept — even in a joking context — could normalize the idea in the minds of voters.

    “So, that type of behavior is someone planting an idea over and over,” Greene said. “Again, he constantly says it so that he can normalize the idea and test support and test people’s reactions. Saying it over and over normalizes the idea, and I think it’s incredibly dangerous.”

    She added that any effort to seek a third term or cancel elections would conflict with constitutional limits.

    “There cannot be a third term, no. That’s against our laws. That’s against the Constitution,” Greene said. “And if this country is at war, no, our election should not be canceled.”

    Greene’s comments mark another sharp break from one of Trump’s once-most-visible allies in Congress. For years, Greene was among the president’s strongest defenders on Capitol Hill, frequently aligning herself with his agenda and political messaging.

    But the relationship has deteriorated over the past year as Greene increasingly criticized Trump on several issues, including U.S. involvement in foreign conflicts, the administration’s handling of materials related to the Epstein investigation, and what she has described as a departure from the “America First” priorities that helped fuel Trump’s political rise. Reports have also indicated Trump declined to support Greene in a potential Senate campaign before she left Congress earlier this year.

    Her remarks also come as Trump has increasingly raised concerns about the political consequences of the 2026 midterm elections. Trump has argued publicly that if Democrats regain control of Congress, they would likely pursue new impeachment proceedings against him, reviving investigations and political battles that defined much of his first term.

    Trump has framed the possibility of a Democrat midterm victory as carrying major implications for his presidency, while allies have argued that maintaining Republican control of Congress will be critical to advancing his agenda and preventing renewed efforts to investigate or challenge his administration.

    Greene’s warning reflects a growing divide within some corners of the broader MAGA movement, particularly among figures who argue that foreign military involvement risks pulling Trump away from the domestic-focused “America First” platform that many supporters backed.

    Man Charged With Attempted Murder After Attack Outside California ‘Trump House’

    A California man is facing attempted murder charges after a brutal daytime attack outside a well-known San Diego “Trump House” left an elderly homeowner fighting for his life and a bystander injured, according to police.

    Authorities say 32-year-old Thomas Caleb Butler is accused of critically injuring the homeowner outside a residence on Buchanan Street in Escondido that has long drawn attention for its prominent displays of American flags and pro-Trump banners. The suspect, who lives nearby, is being held at the Vista Detention Facility in San Diego County.

    The attack unfolded around 2:15 p.m. Wednesday when Escondido police responded to reports of an assault near East Mission Avenue and Buchanan Street. Officers arrived to find an elderly man suffering from severe injuries in the driveway area, along with a good Samaritan who had intervened and was also hurt.

    Police say Butler fled the scene on foot but was located about a half-mile away shortly afterward and taken into custody.

    The victim, whose name has not been released, was hospitalized in critical condition. Public records indicate the home is owned by a 69-year-old man. The property—widely referred to online as the “Trump House”—has been a familiar local landmark for years due to its extensive political signage and flags, which neighbors have both complained about and discussed online.

    Video and photos from the scene show a heavy police presence, evidence markers along the street, and what appeared to be blood near the driveway between parked vehicles, including a pickup truck displaying American flags.

    While investigators have not publicly detailed a motive, the case is already fueling broader concern about escalating political hostility in public spaces. Online discussions about the property in past years have included both criticism of the displays and, in some cases, explicit hostility toward the homeowner.

    The incident comes amid a broader national backdrop of politically charged confrontations and violence. In recent weeks, conservative media and activist circles have pointed to the reported attack on Turning Point USA reporter Savannah Hernandez during a separate confrontation as part of a growing pattern of aggression directed at individuals associated with right-leaning political movements.

    Taken together, these episodes are likely to intensify debate over whether political rhetoric and public polarization are increasingly spilling over into real-world violence. Law enforcement officials have not indicated that Butler’s alleged attack was politically motivated, and the investigation remains ongoing.
