Trump

Axios - Of the 42 people who served in former President Trump's Cabinet, just over half — 24 — of them explicitly support his re-election bid, The Washington Post reports.

  • Three former Cabinet members — John Bolton, Mark Esper and former Vice President Pence — have explicitly said they won't vote for Trump.
  • 15 others have declined to state their positions.

Those supporting Trump's run include Mike Pompeo, Steven Mnuchin and two of his harshest former critics, Nikki Haley and Bill Barr.

Daily Beast -  Donald Trump unveiled his newest plan of attack against Kamala Harris on Monday night: misspelling her first name. “People vote with their STOMACH, and food is now at an all time high because of Kamabla/Biden INCOMPETENCE,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post Monday. “With them in charge, IT WILL ONLY GET WORSE!”

What appeared to be a typo was confirmed as an intentional misspelling of Harris’ first name in a follow-up post an hour later.  “Kamabla has stated, over and over again, that she wants to DEFUND THE POLICE AND, WITHOUT QUESTION, BAN FRACKING,” Trump wrote. “‘NO MORE FOSSIL FUEL.’ This will quadruple the cost of energy in America! DEPRESSION ANYONE!”

Geoff Bennett, PBS:  On the campaign trail this weekend, Donald Trump again vowed to shut down the Education Department if he's reelected. He also endorsed a recent Louisiana law mandating the display of the Ten Commandments in public schools.But those are just two of the multiple changes to public education that Mr. Trump is proposing, including when it comes to vaccinations.Laura Barron-Lopez has more — Laura.

Laura Barron-Lopez:  Thanks, Geoff.  Former President Trump has increasingly employed anti-vaccine rhetoric at his rallies, and this weekend was no different. Here he is at an event organized by the conservative Christian Faith and Freedom Coalition Saturday.   

Donald Trump, Former President of the United States (R) and Current U.S. Presidential Candidate: And on day one, I will sign a new executive order to cut federal funding for any school pushing Critical Race Theory, and I will not give one penny to any school that has a vaccine mandate or a mask mandate.
