I’m excited to join this program tonight, representing @NBCNews - and looking forward to breaking down the campaign and how it was covered from my perspective on the Trump beat.
The 2024 presidential election will be one of the most consequential in modern history. Explore the campaigns, the media coverage, and what this election means for the US and the world. 🗓️November 14 at 5:30 pm ▶️Streamed live: events.columbia.edu/cal/event/even… With panelists: - Sewell…
Trump publicly stayed out of the race for Senate GOP leader- but in the room where it happened- his support for John Thune was implied in a way that raised some eyebrows.
SCOOP: Did Trump secretly back Thune for Majority Leader? That’s what @SteveDaines told Republicans before yesterday’s vote w/ @GarrettHaake @frankthorp @NBCNews nbcnews.com/politics/2024-…
“Protect the President” from his own pick for AG is a fascinating construction here, as Senate Republicans who have largely super glued themselves to Trump now may be looking for ways to not confirm his most controversial cabinet selection yet
Sen. Cornyn (R-Texas) wants to see the Gaetz ethics report. He sits on Senate Judiciary “I can’t understand any situation under which we would deny ourselves access to full and complete information. Part of this is not only to determine fitness for the nominee, it’s also to…
President-elect Trump returned to the White House to meet with President Biden, signaling the peaceful transfer of power. It comes as Trump’s latest picks for his admin. turn heads – especially Attorney General, Matt Gaetz. @PeterAlexander and @GarrettHaake report from DC.
Republican Senators gobsmacked by Gaetz AG selection - but they've also toed the line for Trump as he's complained about "weaponized DOJ," "Lawfare" and a "deep state" out to get him. Are they really going to oppose the avatar of that anti-DOJ movement now? I wouldn't bet on it.
.@ChuckGrassley was so exasperated by Gaetz questions that he stopped talking to reporters & stood there stomefaced for 30 seconds
Newly minted Senate GOP leader @SenJohnThune addressing the Capitol Hill press corps for the first time. He vows to work closely with the new administration.
NEWS: For the first time in 18 years, Senate Republicans have a new leader. JOHN THUNE will be the Senate Majority Leader. Vote total: 29-24
NEWS: Rick Scott is out of the running to replace Mitch McConnell as leader, sources tell @NBCNews Scott received 13 votes out of 53. Republicans have now moved on to round 2, and the race is between John Thune and John Cornyn.
SMU’s only loss is against an undefeated BYU team that is considered the 6th best team in the country. Yet, the Mustangs are #14. AND that loss was before Kevin Jennings was named the starter. The math isn’t mathing.
Despite the hype, it sounds like Musk & Ramaswamy are basically going to be consultants for OMB. They: “will provide advice and guidance from outside of Government, and will partner with the White House and Office of Management & Budget…”
President-elect Trump is beginning to make announcements about senior-level Cabinet officials. Trump selected John Ratcliffe for CIA Director and - in a history-making pick – is expected to choose Sen. Marco Rubio for secretary of state. @GarrettHaake has the details.
Trump filling out his cabinet with several key national security selections overnight. Latest reporting here:
Sen. Marco Rubio will be selected as President-elect Donald Trump’s Secretary of State, multiple sources told @NBCNews @GarrettHaake reports.
President-elect Donald Trump has begun naming allies to fill key cabinet roles in his upcoming administration. @GarrettHaake looks at the latest Trump transition selections and what the appointments mean for the direction of his second term.
President-elect Trump announces Tom Homan as his administration's border czar ahead of his meeting with President Biden later this week. @GarrettHaake reports.
I didn’t watch a single minute of the Cowboys shellacking by the Eagles and my mental health is better for it. What an embarrassment.
Cowboys have just set a (dubious) record. They have now trailed by 20+ points in their last 5 home games. First time in NFL history.
Overnight Trump makes his first Cabinet pick: @RepStefanik will be his UN Ambassador. Trump also announcing former ICE official @RealTomHoman will be his "Border Czar" - a key role in an administration that will be aggressively focused on the border & deportations.
As Democrats look for answers to the what-went-wrong questions of the last week, as well as leadership going forward, interesting thread here from the newly-re-elected Chris Murphy of CT.
10/ Those are hard things for the left. A firm break with neoliberalism. Listen to poor and rural people, men in crisis. Don't decide for them. Pick fights. Embrace populism. Build a big tent. Be less judgmental. But we are beyond small fixes.
The electoral map is complete. Donald Trump sweeps every battleground state to win the presidency with 312 electoral votes, @NBCNews projects. Kamala Harris finishes with 226.
