Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley received over 156,000 votes in the Pennsylvania GOP primary election despite dropping out of the race in March, suggesting a significant protest vote among Republicans.
Haley won 16.5% of Pennsylvania’s primary vote on April 23.
She secured twice the number of votes by which Joe Biden beat Donald Trump in 2020.
Both parties are focusing on Pennsylvania since its 19 electoral votes make it a critical battleground state.
Tens of thousands of Republicans refused to vote for Trump even though he is the likely GOP nominee.
He won the primary race in the critical swing state with 83.5% of the vote, amounting to more than 786,000 votes.
Biden gained 90% of the Democratic vote in this primary election.
If the former South Carolina governor’s GOP supporters decide not to back the former president in November, it could swing Pennsylvania in Biden’s favor. This week, the Biden campaign increased outreach...

During a hearing this week, most of the justices on the U.S. Supreme Court appeared skeptical about offering blanket immunity to a former president, which would keep them from being prosecuted for criminal acts.
On Sunday, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell reiterated that former President Donald Trump should be “held accountable” when asked about the court hearing.
On Meet the Press, host Kristin Welker asked McConnell: “Just to be clear, you said former presidents are not immune from being held accountable. Do you stand by those comments?
“That was my view, but I don’t make those decisions,” McConnell responded.
“But do you stand by those comments?” Welker pressed. “Yeah, that’s my view. But my view is my view. The court is going to decide this,” McConnell said.

In March, Trump launched a Maga-based Bible that included lyrics to “God Bless the U.S.A.” by Lee Greenwood, the United States Constitution, the Declaration of Independence and other notable American documents. Trump’s Maga Bible was widely mocked by both sides online, including a segment on Saturday Night Live.
In his sermon at the Central Church of North Carolina, evangelical Pastor Loran Livingston shared his thoughts on Trump’s new product. A Livingston video was shared with TikTok and X, where it went viral for his heated words.
“No, no. It’s disgusting! It’s blasphemous! It’s a ploy! Are you kidding me? Some of you are so encouraged by that. Let me tell you something. The gospel is not an American gospel. It is the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ!”
This evangelical is over Trump.

Donald Trump’s reaction to last night’s White House Correspondents Dinner shows the much-indicted ex-potus still sucks at being the butt of a joke.
Hours after President Joe Biden and Saturday Night Live’s Colin Jost unleashed an arsenal of zingers against Trump from the head table of the 2024 Whcd, the presumptive GOP nominee took to his Truth Social to hit back.
Sure, Trump bucked the consensus and declared the Weekend Update co-host “bombed” and the current occupant of the Oval Office “was an absolute disaster.” But Trump’s 1:05 a.m. Et posting was much more succinct than usual and a whole lamer than past rebuttals, and received a sad number of likes – as you can see below:

Arachnophobia has been labeled a 90s classic in the eyes of horror fans. Not only does it have a perfect execution of spine-chilling horror, but it also manages to balance it with excellent comedy. Considering just how iconic the film was, many were concerned when it was announced that the film would be getting a remake.
A stil from Arachnophobia
However, since James Wan will be heading the project, their worries have been put at ease. The director has an impressive track record with horror, having been behind projects like The Conjuring series, The Nun films, Annabelle, and Saw.
Reminiscing back to the original movie, Jeff Daniels, who played the role of Dr. Ross Jennings, talked about his experience working on the original film.

Clearly, this has nothing to do with him, but that hasn’t stopped all the mean kids from taunting him. There is strong speculation on social media that Barron Trump is being bullied over his father Donald Trump’s hush money trial. Keep reading below for everything you need to know.
Barron Trump – Bullied Over Hush Money Trial
As many of Donald’s fans and critics alike are probably aware of by now, the former president has been accused of paying off an adult film star to stay quiet about their alleged affair.
Their relationship supposedly happened back in 2005, but Donald apparently paid her off right before the 2016 election.
And while there’s no doubt that this entire ordeal has to be very embarrassing for both Donald and his wife Melania Trump, it’s their son Barron who is suffering the most out of this.

The annual White House Correspondents Dinner may be dubbed the inside-the-beltway “Nerd Prom” in some circles. Still, this year’s soirée, which took place on Saturday night at the Washington Hilton, was the hottest ticket in the nation’s capital — maybe the entire nation — as President Joe Biden and the First Lady sat alongside the Hollywood elite and senior government officials mingled with actors, rappers and rockers.
They were all gathered to toast free speech and watch the president and Saturday Night Live Colin Jost roast Donald Trump, the state of the media, and in a common theme of the night, the commander-in-chief’s age.
Before the event began, hundreds of protesters had gathered outside the Hilton in the Adams Morgan neighborhood of Washington to confront attendees and encourage journalists to boycott the event.

Colin Jost, the featured entertainer at this year’s White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner, went all in on Donald Trump and his legal troubles, got in a few zingers about Joe Biden’s age and finished his gig by telling a long story of how the president is a “decent” man.
Some of Jost’s jokes didn’t land in the room, but he did well when he framed the 2024 election race.
“Let me see if I can summarize where this race stands at this moment,” Jost said. “The Republican candidate for president owe s half a billion in fines for bank fraud and is currently spending his days farting himself awake during a porn star hush money trial and the race is tied?!”
“The race is tied. Nothing makes sense anymore. The candidate who is a New York City playboy took abortion rights away, and the guy who is...

Joe Biden got in a few zingers at his rival Donald Trump, but he devoted a large part of his remarks to the serious threat to democracy.
“Donald has had a few tough days lately. You might call it stormy weather,” Biden quipped, referencing Trump’s current hush money trial.
The president also riffed on reports that Trump dozed off during his trial, calling him “sleepy Don.”
“Trump’s speech was so embarrassing, the statue of Robert E. Lee surrendered again,” he said.
The president, though, devoted a large chunk to his speech to warning of the threat to the democracy and the press’s role in a free society.

Confusion and anxiety reigned at a CBS-Politico joint party today ahead of the annual White House Correspondents’ Dinner, with staffers shocked at news that Bob Bakish, CEO of parent Paramount Global, is set to exit abruptly as early as Monday morning.
There have been rumblings about Bakish for days as the company enters the final stretch of exclusive merger negotiations with David Ellison’s Skydance. But his imminent departure triggered a wave of anxious speculation tonight in Washington, D.C. Ellison has always been mostly interested in the movie studio and historic lot. Although it seems Skydance does plan to keep the company intact, at least for a time, network folks aren’t betting on it and felt uncertain about the future of CBS, and about who might be running Paramount Global in a few short days — a troika of top execs, a new chief executive?

You had to hold on ’til the end.
“Saturday Night Live” comedian Colin Jost delivered a mixed bag of Trump zingers, media jokes and Biden age wisecracks in front of a demanding crowd Saturday at the annual White House Correspondents Dinner, but it took him until the last of his remarks to fully charm the assemblage of journalists and politicos who came to hear him roast the President and the Washington press corps.
Jost finished his remarks by telling President Joe Biden about his 95-year-old grandfather, a longtime fireman in Staten Island, N.Y, who voted Democrat in the 2020 presidential election even though that borough of New York City is known to favor Republicans.
“He voted for you, and the reason that he voted for you is because you’re a decent man,” Jost told Biden. “My grandpa voted for decency and decency is why we’re all here tonight.

President Joe Biden mocked Donald Trump for suggesting Americans inject themselves with bleach during the Covid-19 pandemic.
“And remember when he was trying to deal with [Covid-19]?” Biden asked during the 2024 North America’s Building Trades Unions conference. “He said just inject a little bleach in your veins. He missed—it all went to his hair.”
“Look, I shouldn’t have said that,” he added. “I probably shouldn’t have said that. You guys are a bad influence on me.”
But the mockery didn’t end there. “Don’t inject bleach,” the president stated in X’s post after the speech. “And don’t vote for the guy who told you to inject bleach.”

There are a number of TV series’ moments that are inscribed in cinematic history because they foretold some of the important events, which happened later, with some of them being likely to become true, while some others were totally unexpected.
Here are 5 TV series that predicted the future a little too accurately.
1. Star Trek (1966-1969) - Moon Landing
The original Star Trek is notorious for its predictions, the most remarkable of which is clearly the depiction of humanity's first landing on the moon. The 1967 episode titled Tomorrow Is Yesterday features a NASA broadcast reviewing the preparations for the game-changing moon landing. Two years later, the USA indeed became the first nation to set foot on the moon with the successful flight of Apollo 11.
2. Friends (1994 - 2004) - Facebook

President Joe Biden revealed his willingness to debate with Donald Trump in a recent interview with radio host Howard Stern.
Although he did not provide a specific timeline for the potential debate, it marks the first time in this election cycle that Biden indicated his openness to such an event. When asked about debating his 2024 opponent, Biden responded, “I am somewhere… I’m happy to debate him.”
Following this remark on Stern’s Sirius/Xm show, Trump’s campaign manager, Chris Lacivita, responded on social media, “Ok, let’s set it up!”
While Trump chose not to participate in any of the four Republican National Committee-sanctioned primary election debates in 2024 and withdrew from one of the three debates with Biden in 2020, he has advocated for Biden’s involvement in the three general debates scheduled for this autumn.
However, the Biden campaign has raised concerns regarding the organization of these debates...

South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem admitted to killing her dog in a new memoir. By confessing, she may also have killed her chance at national office.
Backlash has been fierce to the revelations in her new book, No Going Back: The Truth on What’s Wrong with Politics and How We Move America Forward. Noem is among those rumored to be in contention for Donald Trump’s Vice President pick in the 2024 election.
After obtaining a copy of the book ahead of its publication next month, the UK’s Guardian reported that Noem wrote about the time she shot dead Cricket, a 14-month-old dog she intended to train for hunting pheasant.
Noem said she took the action after the dog ruined a hunt, killed another family’s chickens, and moved to bite her.
Noem said Cricket had an “aggressive personality” and was “untrainable,” per the Guardian’s report. Noem wrote...

Reality star Kim Kardashian joined Vice President Kamala Harris at the White House on Thursday for a roundtable discussion focused on the pardons issued by President Joe Biden. This marks another step in Kardashian’s involvement in national criminal justice policy.
The conversation took place a day after Biden granted pardons to 11 individuals and commuted the sentences of five others who had been convicted of non-violent drug offenses.
Among the participants in the forum were Jason Hernandez, Bobby Darrell Lowery, Jesse Mosley and Beverly Holcy—individuals who had received pardons the previous day. They shared their experiences within the justice system and highlighted the positive endeavors they pursued in their communities after their release, such as starting businesses or non-profit organizations.
At the event, Harris stated, “I’m a big believer in the power of redemption. Is it not the sign of a civil society that we allow people a...

“I think the biggest challenge is probably just having coming up with original content every single night, and it’s weird because late-night can feel like it’s the same.” she said. “The day can feel repetitive because the formula of the day stays the same.

Donald Trump’s criminal hush money trial kicked off this week with witness testimony from media honcho David Pecker, who said that the former president was well aware of the catch-and-kill scheme and even thanked Pecker for his help in hiding two potentially “damaging” stories. The former American Media Inc. Chairman and CEO set the stage for the rest of the trial, giving a chronological overview of how he was brought into a meeting with Trump and his former fixer Michael Cohen at Trump Tower in August 2015, two months after...

Last Week Tonight With John Oliver turns 10 on April 27, just before the news satire show hits 300 episodes. Those are two major milestones, and at this rate, we’ll see even more. HBO has already renewed Last Week Tonight for two more seasons after the one currently airing on Sunday nights. The show is also a big hit on YouTube, where HBO shares each episode’s main segment and other clips from the show — albeit later in the week than they used to.

It seems like she just can’t win, no matter what she says or what she does or what she doesn’t say or do. There’s heavy speculation on social media that suggests Melania Trump might be damaging Donald Trump’s chances of winning his court case in his criminal hush money trial. That’s because she’s refusing to support him. Keep reading below for everything you need to know.
Melania Trump – Accused Of Damaging Donald Trump’s Court Case
If there’s one thing that Donald Trump needs to prove to the world right now, it’s that he is a dedicated husband and father and of course, a family man.

Documentary Bad Faith looks at the history of a group trying to affect and corrupt politics under the guise of religion
Bad Faith, a new documentary on the rise of Christian nationalism in the United States, opens with an obvious, ominous scene – the storming of the Capitol on 6 January 2021 – though trained on details drowned out by the deluge of horror and easily recognizable images of chaos. That Paula White, Donald Trump’s faith adviser, led the Save America rally in a prayer to overturn the results for “a free and fair election”. That mixed among Trump flags, American flags and militia symbols were numerous banners with Christian crosses; on the steps of the Capitol, a “Jesus Saves” sign blares mere feet from “Lock Them Up!”
The movement to overturn the 2020 election for Donald Trump was, as the documentary underscores, inextricable from a certain strain of belief in America as a fundamentally Christian nation,...

Aaron Sorkin wrote the screenplay for The Social Network based on the 2009 book The Accidental Billionaires. Sorkin won the Best Adapted Screenplay Oscar that year for the script that explored the founding of Facebook. The acclaimed writer is set to write a sequel for that project, and Mark Zuckerberg wouldn’t be too happy about it. Sorkin blamed Facebook for the January 6 attack and vowed to write all about it in The Social Network 2 during a recent podcast appearance.

Former President Donald Trump’s hush money trial reached the end of its second week as the prosecution’s first witness, former National Enquirer publisher David Pecker, returned to the stand on Friday.
Defense attorneys sought to challenge Pecker’s narrative of Trump’s alleged involvement in suppressing “embarrassing” stories in the 2016 campaign.
Throughout the week, Pecker testified that Trump and his then-lawyer, Michael Cohen, had requested him to serve as their “eyes and ears” and uncover whatever salacious stories could harm Trump’s candidacy. Pecker also said that he was asked to publish negative stories about Trump’s opponents. In cross-examination, Trump’s attorney, Emil Bove, aimed to undermine Pecker’s credibility and highlighted instances in which he had mixed up dates and suggested that the passage of time could affect his memory.
Pecker admitted that he had killed over 30 stories about women who claimed Arnold Schwarzenegger had harassed...

Steven Spielberg has made no secret of his support for Joe Biden’s reelection, and now the Oscar winner is rolling up his sleeves for the team.
Spielberg is involved strategically in the incumbent’s campaign and even the specifics of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago in August, Deadline has confirmed.
“Steven wants to be as helpful as possible to the president,” a well-placed source says. “He believes this is one of the most important elections in the nation’s history.”
The filmmaker is unlikely to helm a short movie at the DNC about Biden this year the way he helped do for John Kerry in 2004, and again at the 2008 convention when Barack Obama was nominated. However, Spielberg has been working with key advisors on how to “convey the president’s successes and his vision for the country” to viewers and delegates, I’m told.

Updated: After David Pecker finished his fourth day of testimony, the next prosecution witness in Donald Trump’s hush money trial Friday was Rhona Graff, Trump’s longtime assistant.
Graff was a Trump Organization employee who, while there, kept contacts for both Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal in the company’s computer system. She testified today that she had a “vague recollection” of once seeing Daniels in an office reception area of Trump Tower, and “assumed” it was because Trump was considering her as a contestant on his Celebrity Apprentice reality TV show.
“He thought that she would be an interesting addition,” she testified, citing “office chatter” as the basis for her opinion. Graff said she was aware that Daniels was an adult film performer.
Graff worked for Trump for 34 years, rising from his executive assistant beginning in 1987 to senior vice president until her departure in 2021. She testified under subpoena on Friday,...

Although Ubisoft’s Far Cry 7 may still be quite far from release, there are enough rumors out there to keep the discussions alive and the community, waiting. Internally called Project Blackbird, Far Cry 7 is reportedly taking its time in Ubisoft Montreal’s development oven, and is expected sometime in 2025.
Far Cry 7
One of the leaks about Far Cry 7, which surfaced earlier last year, suggests that the game will be called ‘Far Cry: Rise.’ Besides, the rumor mill also has other details about the game’s setting, location, and more.
Far Cry 7 is rumored to touch on topics of power and privilege
It was earlier leaked that the game will be set in a fictitious tropical island called Kimsan. The island is reportedly located in the “Yellow Sea next to Korea”. It is also believed that the island has been captured by North Korean Insurgents, led by the antagonist named Choi Sang-Pil.

Joe Biden visited Howard Stern’s SiriusXM show today, the latest interview that the president has given to a non-traditional media outlet.
Biden sat down with Stern at his midtown Manhattan studio for a live interview.
The hourlong interview did yield some news. When Stern said that he wanted Biden to debate Donald Trump, Biden said, “I am, somewhere, I don’t know when but I am happy to debate him.”

At least one televised presidential debate might happen this election year after all.
President Joe Biden told radio host Howard Stern on Friday he’d be “happy to” debate former president Donald Trump.
“I am somewhere,” Biden replied when asked if he would debate Trump during this election cycle. “I don’t know when. I’m happy to debate him.”
The comments represent a shift from Biden and his communications team’s previous hedging statements about the issue, which have led many to assume there simply wasn’t going to be a debate in the run-up to the November general election.
Trump’s campaign adviser Chris Lacivita quickly replied on X, “Ok, let’s set it up!”

It’s been Donald Trump’s terrible, horrible, no good, very bad week.
The past and potentially future leader of the free world spent most of it in a dingy Manhattan courtroom, no longer the master of his domain. It’s a place where he dutifully sits down when the judge tells him to sit, where he’s unable to say whatever he wants, where he’s not allowed to use his phone. And worst of all, where there’s no red button for him to push when he wants a Diet Coke. And according to him, it was bitterly cold — “freezing,” in fact, sounding like your elderly uncle at Thanksgiving. Forget a legal defense; someone needs to give him a sweater.

Over three days of testimony this week, Donald Trump’s hush money trial in Manhattan has spawned subplots inside and outside the courtroom.
With a decision on one contempt motion pending, Judge Juan Merchan has scheduled a hearing on Thursday for prosecutors to argue that Trump has committed more violations of the judge’s gag order against disparaging or intimidating witnesses, jurors and other trial participants.
At the first contempt hearing on Tuesday, prosecutors sought fines for ten Trump online posts blasting witnesses Stormy Daniels and Michael Cohen and calling prospective jurors “liberal activists.” Assistant Manhattan District Attorney Chris Conroy said that next week’s hearing will cover four more alleged gag-order violations.
The last was at a construction site in Midtown Manhattan on Thursday where Trump visited with workers before heading to court. There, Trump talked about the prosecution’s first witness, David Pecker, the former CEO of National Enquirer publisher American Media,...

Barron Trump – Left Furious With His Parents Donald And Melania
It was reported earlier in the week that the judge in Donald Trump’s hush money case has barred him from traveling to Florida to attend Barron’s high school graduation. And of course, the former president is absolutely devastated over the matter.
If there’s one person who seems to be pleased with the decision, it’s Barron’s mother, Melania. That’s because she would rather attend the graduation on her own.

Welcome to ElectionLine’s A View From Abroad series, in which we speak with media figures who don’t live in America but keep a close eye on its politics. Every few weeks, these smart observers will provide a unique perspective on what promises to be a fraught and unpredictable campaign for the White House. This week, our interview is with Richard Madan, the award-winning Washington D.C. correspondent for Canada’s CBC News.
When Richard Madan and his crew get out of Washington D.C. to talk to American voters, they sometimes stick a tiny Canadian flag on the viewfinder of their camera. It’s a signal to contributors that they come in peace and Canadian pleasantries — and, by and large, it’s effective.
“When you go into these unfriendly crowds, the second I say we’re Canadian television, any animosity instantly disappears. Generally speaking, Americans have positive views of Canadians,...

She just wants everyone to stay in their lane. There’s strong speculation on social media that suggests Michelle Obama doesn’t want to be compared to Melania Trump, let alone see her name in the same sentence as Donald Trump’s wife.
This all comes after one critic suggested the Obamas might be bigger style icons than the Trumps. And while the compliment is certainly flattering, Michelle Obama really doesn’t care too much about Melania, her style, or her opinions about fashion for that matter. Keep reading below for everything you need to know.

Rita Palma, a campaign consultant for Robert F. Kennedy Jr., stated that her top priority is to prevent Joe Biden from winning this year’s presidential election.
“Things, I guess, will change overtime because you do only pick one candidate at the end of the day,” Palma stated during a meeting with Republicans in New York.
“But the Kennedy voter and the [Donald Trump] voter – the enemy – our mutual enemy – is Biden,” she added. “Since Biden is counting on us with [Kennedy] in the mix, my – my thought is for the Republicans.”
“See Bobby – right now – he’s pulling from both sides,” she continued. “Right now, he’s actually pulling a bit more from Biden, which explains why the DNC [Democratic National Committee] is kind of ganging up on him. They have a special committee to go after independent candidates.”
