“I think President Biden and Republicans and Democrats in Washington have an obligation to meet the requirements of the Constitution of the United States to uphold the full faith and credit of the United States,” former Vice President Pence tells me tonight in New Hampshire.


Daniel Cameron will win Kentucky GOP governor primary, CNN projects, and face Democrat Andy Beshear in the fall. @ericbradner reports: cnn.com/2023/05/16/pol…


.@RonDeSantisFL is on the cusp of declaring his presidential bid. His expectations are in check from a few months ago, but one aide says: “Trump tried to kill him in the cradle and it didn’t work.” Our new story with @scontorno: cnn.com/2023/05/15/pol…


It’s time for Inside Politics. Always good to be around the @abbydphillip table. So much to discuss this week.

DeSantis heads to Iowa and says Republicans must "reject the culture of losing." Plus the latest on the border, the debt ceiling, and what the future holds for George Santos. @abbydphillip with @lbarronlopez @jeffzeleny @KSoltisAnderson @pkcapitol #InsidePolitics 11aE

Rep. George Santos is now in custody as the Justice Department unseals a 13-count indictment, including: seven counts of wire fraud, three counts of money laundering, one count of theft of public funds and two counts of making materially false statements to Congress.


With President Biden’s campaign ads already on the air in Michigan, we spent a few days talking to voters. Can Trump exhaustion lead to Biden enthusiasm — again? Our story: cnn.com/2023/05/05/pol…


And it’s official, President Biden announces his re-election bid, saying: “Let’s finish the job.”

Every generation has a moment where they have had to stand up for democracy. To stand up for their fundamental freedoms. I believe this is ours. That’s why I’m running for reelection as President of the United States. Join us. Let’s finish the job. JoeBiden.com

Shocking news from Fox: Tucker Carlson is out at the network.

Hundreds of people are crowding into the Boston Park Plaza to see Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announce his bid for the Democratic presidential nomination. No signs of Kennedy family, who have rejected his anti-vaccine movement and his campaign, but many people are holding these signs.

“Fox has admitted to telling lies about Dominion that caused enormous damage to my company, our employees, and the customers that we serve," John Poulos, the CEO of Dominion Voting Systems, said at a press conference Tuesday afternoon. "Nothing can ever make up for that."


Fox News and Dominion Voting Systems reach a last-minute settlement today in their historic defamation case, likely closing the door to the public learning more about the election lies the network promoted about the 2020 presidential race.

NPR’s Rachel Martin aired a 7-minute segment on Morning Edition today about my book TESTIMONY, which is out TODAY. amazon.com/Testimony-Insi… You can listen here: npr.org/2023/04/18/117…


Mr. DeSantis goes to Washington -- a place he often rails against -- in hopes of shoring up his support against Trump. A smart new story from my colleague @scontorno: cnn.com/2023/04/18/pol…


“Two years was long enough. Four years is barely tolerable. It is time for America to have a change of leadership,” @SenatorTimScott says tonight in Iowa, focusing on President Biden, not former President Trump, as he delivers the first speech of his presidential exploratory bid.

Congratulations! They are incredibly lucky to have you, newsman.

Some professional news: I have joined media start-up @TheMessenger as a national political reporter, covering the 2024 presidential campaign and federal and state races across the country. We launch in May and I can’t wait to get started. New email: dmerica@themessenger.com



President Biden often envisions what he could accomplish with a second term, but he has expressed no urgency to formally launch a campaign to win another four years in office. @Kevinliptakcnn, @mj_lee and I explore Biden's plans for 2024: cnn.com/2023/04/07/pol…


Chicago voters elect Progressive Democrat Brandon Johnson as their next mayor, CNN projects, defeating moderate Paul Vallas in a campaign that highlighted race, crime, schools and more. Our man in the Windy City @ericbradner has more: cnn.com/2023/04/04/pol…


Meanwhile in Wisconsin tonight … my colleague @ericbradner reports on the most important election of 2023 with far-reaching implications for 2024 and beyond. cnn.com/2023/04/04/pol…

Exactly as I predicted, no Melania.


Less than a minute into his speech tonight from Palm Beach, former President Donald Trump renews false claims about the 2020 election and zeroes in on Hunter Biden.
