South Carolina Senator Tim Scott has endorsed Donald Trump’s bid for the White House, delivering a significant win for the former president — and a blow to the heart of Nikki Haley’s campaign.

Scott, a mild-mannered lawmaker from Haley’s home state of who dropped his own bid for the Republican nomination in November, took to a stage in New Hampshire on Friday night and proclaimed his support for the former president, who stood behind him.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis picked up a key endorsement on Monday from Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds—a much-needed boost that could help him in the Iowa caucuses.  

“I just felt like I couldn’t sit on the sidelines any longer,” Reynolds said during an NBC News interview. “We have too much at stake. I truly believe that he is the right person to get this country back on track.” 

Later, the two appeared at a campaign rally in Des Moines, where she praised DeSantis as someone who would put the country ahead of himself.

Former President Donald Trump has picked up another big-name endorsement in his bid to win back the White House from President Biden next year.

Republican South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem threw the weight of her growing national recognition behind Trump, saying he has her "full and complete endorsement for President of the United States of America."

"I will do everything I can to help him win and save this country," Noem said. "Ladies and gentlemen, the 45th and the 47th President of the United States, Donald J. Trump."

Kevin McCarthy is risking Donald Trump’s wrath by not officially endorsing his third White House bid, but the speaker is also fulfilling an important mission: sparing the House GOP a civil war over 2024.

While scores of McCarthy’s members have already backed Trump, plenty of other Republicans are steering clear of the polarizing former president in the GOP primary. That camp includes virtually every swing-seat lawmaker, many of whom fear that embracing Trump could spell their electoral doom next fall — as well as allies of Trump’s rivals, from Ron DeSantis to Doug Burgum.

The performer Lady Gaga, whose birth name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, has had an alliance with President Joe Biden that predates his presidency.

On Oct. 31, 2020, Lady Gaga tweeted a video in which she endorsed Biden for president, and she performed the national anthem at Biden’s inauguration on Jan. 20, 2021.

But now viral posts on Twitter and Instagram have used altered images and a fabricated Truth Social post to falsely claim that Lady Gaga is endorsing Donald Trump for president in 2024. 

Florida’s largest police union announced its endorsement of Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) for the 2024 presidency as he vies against former President Donald Trump.

The Florida Police Benevolent Association announced the presidential endorsement on Monday, saying the choice between the two candidates “could not be clearer.”

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis values being in control. Presidential candidate-in-waiting DeSantis is losing it.

As he trekked to the nation’s capital to demonstrate strength with the Washington establishment on Tuesday — and before he even set foot in the district — several members of his state’s congressional delegation announced support instead for former President Donald Trump’s White House comeback bid.

Remember when the actor Matt Damon pontificated about how “fortune favors the brave” people who invest with Crypto.com? Or when the director Spike Lee applauded the digital rebellion championed by Coin Cloud? Since the spectacular collapse of the cryptocurrency exchange FTX, Mr. Damon, Mr. Lee and most other crypto-touting celebrities have largely gone silent — and for good reason.

We should have seen it coming.

Someone called “Bankman-Fried” is probably not the best guy to trust with your money.

Especially given he’s just 30 years old, looks like a Fyre Festival committee member, slobs around in the tax-free Bahamas in his shorts and sandals, and until a few days ago, reigned supreme in a financial world dubbed a delusional “rat poison” by the world’s greatest businessman, Warren Buffett.

Celebrity Brand Endorsement, What Else? George Clooney made an estimated $40 million endorsing Nespresso, while Beyoncé signed a multi-year contract with Pepsi worth $50 million, making the $26 million deal that Taylor Swift signed with Coca-Cola in 2013 look … a little flat.

And as Harry Styles and Gucci bring vibrant colour to a new collection, Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappé will be facing off in the World Cup Final, the Argentine kitted out in Adidas and the Frenchman wearing Nike.
