Good Morning DC,

Let’s get you caught up with the news of the day.

2024 ELECTION
Trump in New Hampshire surrounded himself with Vivek Ramaswamy and other members of “central casting.” He declared the primary as an unforgettable evening.
In a pointed message to Nikki, Trump stated, “She’s not gonna win.” Trump made a claim that Haley would be under investigation by Democrats within 15 minutes if she did. What for? “A little stuff that she doesn’t want to talk about,” stated Trump.
“You can’t in life let the people get away with bullshit,” said Trump about Haley taking a victory lap for her second place.
In reference to Nikki Haley, RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel stated last night on FOX News that she does not see a path to the GOP nomination for her.“I think she ran a great campaign. I think there is a message from the voters which is clear: We need to unite around our eventual nominee, which is going to be Donald Trump.”
Biden also made his response known.
“It is now clear that Donald Trump will be the Republican nominee. And my message to the country is the stakes could not be higher,” President Biden said in response to Trump winning in the Republican primary in New Hampshire.
“Our Democracy. Our personal freedoms — from the right to choose to the right to vote. Our economy — which has seen the strongest recovery in the world since COVID. All are at stake,” said Biden.
The Biden campaign is set to hold a press call this morning.
