Several Republican lawmakers seized on gender and diversity, equity and inclusion efforts at the Secret Service as among the reasons for security lapses during the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump.

Alyssa Farah Griffin, a former Trump administration spokeswoman who broke from her old boss in 2020, will be the conservative voice on the daytime talk show “The View.”.

ABC’s decision to suspend Whoopi Goldberg from “The View” for two weeks for her remarks about the Holocaust has opened the network up to criticism that its response derailed a teachable moment for the nation.

Conservative firebrand Meghan McCain says she decided to leave ‘The View’ the day after she returned from maternity leave last winter when colleague Joy Behar said ‘I did not miss you’ during a political argument.

Vice President Kamala Harris will visit ‘The View’ studio on Friday for her sixth appearance on the daytime chat show — but her first as vice president.

Few things Meghan McCain has done on “The View” can be classified as low-key, until her exit on Friday.

Conservative firebrand Meghan McCain says that she's quitting ABC's daytime talk show ‘The View’ after four years.

More damaging for the palace was the interview Prince Andrew, Harry’s uncle, did with the BBC in 2019. “It’s just such a mess,” said Penny Junor, who has written several books about the royals, including a biography of Harry.

Republicans held key Senate seats that Democrats hoped to flip, and the GOP may ultimately shrink the Democrats' House majority. And in a warning sign for Democrats, Trump demonstrated an uptick of support in some Black and Latino communities. One of Biden’s principal arguments in a crowded Democratic presidential primary campaign was that he could expand Democrats' coalition to include more older voters, independents, and even moderate Republicans. To be sure, Biden performed better than Hillary Clinton four years earlier in states like Iowa, Ohio, and Texas. In Texas, Hinojosa said Trump could hold appeal with Latinos that doesn't translate into long-term party loyalty.

Franklin, File)PHOENIX – Cindy McCain endorsed Democrat Joe Biden for president Tuesday in a rebuke of President Donald Trump by the widow of the GOP's 2008 nominee. John McCain said in 2016 that he couldn’t support Trump or Democrat Hillary Clinton in 2016, citing Trump's demeaning comments about women. “He won the nomination fair and square.”A Navy pilot, John McCain was shot down over North Vietnam in 1967.

Cindy McCain is going to bat for Joe Biden, lending her voice to a video set to air during Tuesday nights Democratic National Convention programming focused on Bidens close friendship with her late husband, Republican Sen. John McCain of Arizona. Cindy McCain is not expected to offer an explicit endorsement, but her involvement in the video is her biggest public show of support yet for Bidens candidacy. Both Cindy McCain and her daughter Meghan have been outspoken critics of President Donald Trump, and the family is longtime friends with the Bidens. Trump targeted John McCain personally in 2015, saying the former prisoner of war wasn't a hero because he was captured. But while Meghan suggested in April shed be voting for Biden, Cindy has pointedly stayed out of the presidential race.
