With Biden in Japan, Harris pushes White House message on debt ceiling

Vice President Harris on Thursday convened a call of elected officials, local leaders and administration allies to warn of the dangers of a potential default as she takes on an increased role in the White House’s messaging on the debt ceiling.

Harris led a virtual briefing on the debt ceiling fight, where she underscored the White House’s position that Congress should lift the debt ceiling and urged local leaders on the call to inform their constituents of the possible consequences of inaction.

“Our position is clear and simple: Congress must act to prevent a default,” Harris said on the briefing, which was open to members of the media.

“We just need you, the leaders on this call, to do what you always do and make sure your voices are heard,” Harris added. “Make sure members of Congress know a default would not be acceptable under any circumstances. Let’s organize, activate our communities, and remind folks of what’s at stake and get the word about why this issue is so important.”

Thursday’s virtual briefing took place while President Biden is in Japan for the Group of Seven Summit through Sunday. It was the latest sign that Harris is taking on a larger role as the White House pushes Congress to raise the debt ceiling and seeks to warn the public about the fallout if lawmakers do not act.

Eyes on 2024: Haley breaks from Trump on Jan. 6

Former U.N. Ambassador and South Carolina Republican Gov. Nikki Haley has walked a long and windy road when it comes to her one-time boss, former President Donald Trump. But this time, she’s again publicly breaking with him on a central issue to his candidacy — the riot at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

“It was not a beautiful day, it was a terrible day, and we don’t ever want that to happen again,” Haley said at an Iowa town hall Wednesday, per NBC News’ Ali Vitali.

“I don’t know enough about each individual [rioter] but that’s my rule: If you break the law, you pay the price.”

Tim Scott makes 2024 bid official

Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) has officially declared himself a candidate for the GOP nomination for president, making him the latest Republican to enter a crowded field that has so far been dominated by former President Trump.

Scott filed paperwork with the Federal Election Commission on Friday, ahead of an expected formal campaign launch Monday.

Kari Lake election challenge fizzles at second day of trial

Kari Lake, a former television-news anchor and failed Republican gubernatorial candidate in the 2022 Arizona elections, has been fighting in court to prove that the governor's race was stolen from her.

The witnesses she called to testify on her behalf, though, did little to strengthen that case at trial.

Rather than showing that Arizona did not verify signatures on 2022 mail-in ballots — the sole remaining claim in Lake's stolen-election case — multiple witnesses this week seemed to prove just the opposite. Lake's team has already rested its case, meaning they've presumably presented all available evidence of an allegedly stolen election.

As far as evidence goes, it wasn't much.

More than six months after losing the 2022 governor's race to Democrat Katie Hobbs, Lake still claims mail-in ballot signature verifiers “systematically failed to comply with the law" by allegedly not conducting signature verification, resulting in the wrong person occupying the governor’s office.

Around 1.3 million Arizonans voted by mail in the 2022 state general elections, and more than 2.5 million people voted in total. Lake lost by roughly 17,000 votes.

S.C. Sen. Tim Scott launches GOP presidential campaign with hopeful message

Sen. Tim Scott Monday launched his 2024 Republican presidential campaign with a message of hope that he hopes will cut through the negativity of the political realm.

The South Carolina conservative enters as a prohibitive underdog in a GOP race dominated for now by former President Donald Trump and his nearest rival, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.

But Scott hopes to parlay his optimistic message and political skills as the only Black GOP senator to make a credible run in the contest to take on President Biden.

He trumpets America as a “colorblind” society that should put bitter racial and partisan divisions behind it.

GOP senator: 'I don’t think Trump can win a general election'

Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) said he does not believe former President Donald Trump can win in a general election for president.

“I don’t think Trump can win a general election,” Cassidy said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union,” when asked about Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s claim that there are only three “credible” candidates for president in 2024 — himself, Trump and President Joe Biden — and only two (himself and Biden) who could win in November.

Cassidy pointed out that the statement was also a way to dismiss “formidable” GOP opponents, like South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott, who filed paperwork to run on Friday. “You just have to take this as a competitor trying to dis others,” Cassidy said. DeSantis has yet to officially enter the race, but the Republican governor is expected to launch his campaign this week.

Trump is currently the front-runner in the growing GOP field. But his victory is anything but certain, Cassidy said, pointing to a poor performance from Trump-endorsed candidates in the midterm elections last year — particularly in swing states like Georgia, Pennsylvania, Nevada and Arizona.

“If past [is] prologue, that means President Trump is going to have a hard time in those swing states, which means that he cannot win a general election,” Cassidy said.

Ron DeSantis debuts presidential bid in a glitch-ridden Twitter 'disaster'

It was supposed to be a historic moment for Twitter: Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis would smoothly kick off his presidential candidacy on the social media platform.

An uninterrupted conversation between DeSantis and Twitter CEO Elon Musk would be live-streamed on Twitter Spaces to mark the event.

But instead, the live audio event was beset with technical malfunctions. After some 20 minutes of crashing and echoing and chaos, it abruptly ended.

Many on Twitter had a one-word description for it: "disaster."

The start of broadcast was delayed for a few minutes and then it cut out twice. Tech investor David Sacks, who was supposed to introduce the event, could be heard saying: "The servers are melting."

At another point, as Sacks attempted to speak, an echo reverberated his words back to him. "It just keeps crashing, huh?" an unidentified speaker was heard saying, as Musk and his team scrambled to fix the problem.

A few minutes later, Musk promoted a new Spaces that seemed to be working, but much of the audience did not seem to make the leap. The first Spaces appeared to have more than 500,000 attendees at its peak, while the second seemed to hover around 150,000.

During the discussion, Sacks claimed the audience on the Spaces was one of the platform's largest, but Earnest Wilkins, a former Twitter employee who helped produced Spaces, said: "Lol this isn't in the top 150 spaces by size in the history of the product."

Ernest Wilkins - Lol this isn’t in the top 150 spaces by size in the history of the product. https://twitter.com/ErnestWilkins/st...08597405106177

The platform's high-profile malfunctioning was not exactly surprising to those who have been observing the social media site since Musk took it over.

Since acquiring Twitter in October, the company is a shell of its former self.

Its staff has been whittled down to just about 10% of what it was before Musk's acquisition, following mass layoffs and hundreds of others quitting. Outages have become far more common. Overall system bugginess has also become the norm for many users.

So it's perhaps not a stunning turn of events that Spaces buckled just as DeSantis was delivering his big news, despite all of Musk's enthusiasm about the event.

"Musk has cut back on the personnel needed to keep Twitter glitch free. It's fitting that his reckless management style would bite him just as so many are tuning in," said Nora Benavidez with Free Press, an advocacy group for digital rights.

One user on Twitter competitor Bluesky put it this way: "even though u knew it would turn out this way it is still amazing it turned out this way lol"

DeSantis’s $13.5m police program lures officers with violent records to Florida

Numerous police officers lured to new jobs in Florida with cash from Governor Ron DeSantis’s flagship law enforcement relocation program have histories of excessive violence or have been arrested for crimes including kidnapping and murder since signing up, a study of state documents has found.

DeSantis, who is expected to launch his campaign for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination this week, has spent more than $13.5m to date on the recruitment bonus program, which he touted in 2021 as an incentive to officers in other states frustrated by Covid-19 vaccination mandates.

“This will go a long way to ensuring we can have the best and the brightest filling our law enforcement ranks,” Florida’s Republican attorney general, Ashley Moody, said in April last year as DeSantis announced one-time $5,000 bonuses for new recruits.

However, among the almost 600 officers who moved to Florida and received the bonus – or were recruited in state – are a sizable number who either arrived with a range of complaints against them, or have since accrued criminal charges, the online media outlet Daily Dot has discovered.

They include a former trainee deputy with the Escambia county sheriff’s office charged with murdering her husband; an officer with the Miramar police department fired for domestic battery and kidnapping; and a former member of the New York police department (NYPD) who was hired by the Palm Beach police department having once been accused of an improper sexual proposition.

That officer, named by the Daily Dot as Daniel Meblin, was also part of a $160,000 settlement by the NYPD for violence at a 2020 protest against the deaths of Breonna Taylor and George Floyd in which officers were accused of beating Black males without provocation.

A Palm Beach police spokesperson told the Daily Dot that Meblin – who had complaints against him including abuse of authority and sexually propositioning a teenager – had disclosed his background during the hiring process, according to the NYPD watchdog 50-a.org.

He has been an “exemplary” officer since he was hired in October 2022, the same month he left the NYPD, the spokesperson said, while denying a request to allow Meblin to be interviewed.

Ken Paxton Impeached on 20 Charges Including Bribery, Obstruction of Justice, Dereliction of Duty

The Texas House of Representatives voted to impeach Attorney General Ken Paxton by a vote of 121 to 23 on 20 charges of disregard of official duty, misapplication of public resources, constitutional bribery, obstruction of justice, false statements in official records, conspiracy and attempted conspiracy, misappropriation of public resources, dereliction of duty, unfitness for office, and abuse of public trust.

Unlike in federal impeachments, Paxton will be removed from office pending his trial in the Texas Senate, where a two-thirds vote is required to convict him. State law gives Gov. Greg Abbott the authority to appoint Paxton’s replacement.

‘The DeSantis people are rookies’: Even Trump critics say he’s running circles around DeSantis

Donald Trump has always been an agent of chaos. But these days his campaign operation is a picture of order.

Despite the legal turmoil surrounding him, Trump has been methodically undercutting Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis — snatching up congressional endorsements, blasting attack ads and dominating news cycles. It’s a campaign operation characterized by an unusual level of organization and discipline — one that’s chipping away at his likely chief rival before he even jumps in the race.

“Trump came to New Hampshire the other day [and] rolled out 51 endorsements,” said Fergus Cullen, a former New Hampshire Republican Party chair and early member of the “Never Trump” movement. “There was nothing like that the first time or the second time.”

By comparison, he said, “the DeSantis people are rookies.”

Trump’s onslaught has been disorienting for the nascent DeSantis operation. The Florida governor, who’s expected to announce his candidacy in the coming weeks, plans to make the case that he will counter Trump’s circus with a sense of normalcy that positions him to do what many Republicans fear Trump cannot: Defeat President Joe Biden. But that argument is running head first into the tidy — and muscular — organization the former president is putting together.

In recent weeks, Trump’s team has worked to bank wins before DeSantis officially enters the race. They have rolled out policy videos focused on a second Trump term and made hires in early voting states. They have developed relationships with state party leaders, met with lawmakers at Mar-a-lago and worked the phones to steal endorsements from DeSantis in his home state. Trump is even doing a town hall event with CNN, a former cable news foe of the ex-president, in an effort to reach more mainstream audiences. Now DeSantis — a politician who places a high premium on control – will be forced to catch up.

“This is a campaign run by adults who have excelled at the ‘crib kill’ strategy,” said Michael Caputo, a friend and longtime adviser to Trump, on how the campaign is targeting DeSantis by nailing down endorsements before DeSantis gets into the race. “Trump hasn’t done it before. He absolutely eschewed the congressional endorsements in 2016 and his campaign turned their nose up at it. It’s a completely different world.”

The change in that dynamic, people close to the campaign say, is due in part to Trump’s own knowledge of how the presidential campaign process works. This is, after all, his third time running.

• Biden world confident in a Trump rematch but preps for a surprise

President Joe Biden and his campaign team continue to believe that they will square off against Donald Trump in a general election rematch of four years prior.

But after the Republican presidential primary field grew substantially last week, with a big-name governor and senator joining the race and other GOP heavyweights considering taking the plunge, they’re also not leaving anything to chance.

Biden’s nascent campaign and the Democratic National Committee have been preparing to launch broadsides against a slew of current and potential GOP contenders, driven by the fear that their job may be tougher if Trump’s name is not at the top of the Republican ticket.

Their efforts moved into higher gear this week with the entry of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis into the race. His glitch-filled launch on Twitter Spaces drew widespread mockery from Trump and other Republicans. The Biden campaign moved swiftly too, trolling DeSantis with a tweet to its own fundraising page (noting that “this link works”) and buying Google ads for searches like “DeSantis flop” and “DeSantis disaster.”

But the campaign and, in particular, the DNC also welcomed DeSantis to the fray with more substantive broadsides. They unleashed a series of attacks and opposition research dumps, highlighting a number of his positions which they perceive could be general election vulnerabilities, including his endorsement of a restrictive abortion ban, his support for book bans and his fight with Disney over LGTBQ legislation.

Democrats feel that allows them to continue the strategy that worked in last year’s midterms — painting nearly any GOP contender as out of step with most Americans.

“They’re all extreme. I grew up under the Ronald Reagan Republican party that wrapped itself in the American flag,” said DNC chair Jaime Harrison. “Well, part of America is freedom: the freedom to speak, the freedom of choice. And these guys are everything against freedom.”

This account of the emerging dynamics of the race was based on interviews with more than a dozen people working with or alongside the campaign, many of whom agreed to speak freely if granted anonymity.

The DNC carried out the lion’s share of the swipes on DeSantis, as Team Biden remains a skeleton staff having launched a month ago. But the DNC, its officials said, has already ramped up its campaign apparatus. It has begun fundraising in all 50 states and has deployed surrogates and staffers to trail DeSantis and other Republicans as they hold events.

They also have begun hammering away at the other Republicans in the race, including Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina, who jumped in just days before DeSantis, and former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, while preparing for the likely entry of former Vice President Mike Pence.

While not all Republicans can be directly tied to some of Trump’s record, or his role in inspiring the Jan. 6 riot, Biden aides still believe they can be lashed to the former president. DNC staffers have begun branding all Republican hopefuls as enablers of MAGA policies, making their support of Trump a throughline.

“It’s not a stretch to paint with a broad brush and make the other Republicans out to be ‘Trump Lite,’” said Basil Smikle, a veteran Democratic strategist and former head of the New York State Democratic Party. “Nearly all of them have supported him before. The White House can also make the large umbrella case that the GOP are threats to democracy itself and the protection of personal liberties.”

DNC aides are also casting a wide net, researching the background of other GOP candidates who may not even jump in the race, including Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin, a potentially formidable foe. Democrats believe that while a moderate Republican might prove a more serious general election opponent, others who may enter the race — like New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sunnunu and former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie — stand little chance of surviving a GOP primary electorate that has moved decisively to the right.

And Biden aides believe, no matter whom the Republicans nominate, that the GOP playbook against the president — with attacks on his age, his son Hunter Biden and socialism — will be the same as the one that failed in 2020.

Much more in the link.

DeSantis' Disney fight blows up major Florida real estate projects

Walt Disney’s scrapping of a $900 million development in Florida has derailed other major real-estate projects that are already underway, the Wall Street Journal reported Monday.

The company canceled plans for office space and the relocation of 2,000 workers from California earlier this month amid a brutal feud with Florida’s governor and Republican presidential hopeful Ron DeSantis.

The planned office park in Orlando had been a central part of an 11,000-acre planned community – and Disney's cancellation has put the whole development in jeopardy, the Journal reported.

Disney’s development would have taken up 60 acres of an 11,000-acre planned community called Lake Nona that's being built by Tavistock Development Co. Many of the other commercial and residential projects – as well as other housing developments in the Orlando area – had planned on the influx of Disney workers.

More than 2,100 apartments have been built since Disney announced it was moving – compared to only 750 in the three years before, according to the Journal. Construction of another 1,200 was planned.

“Its pullout could contribute to a glut of homes in the community,” the Journal reported.

The Lake Nona development also includes restaurants and a hotel, which had banked on Disney bringing in business.

Disney “would have been a transformational development project for Lake Nona,” said Lisa McNatt, a market analytics expert based in Orlando.

“It would have resulted in a strong uptick in higher-income jobs that could have benefited the Orlando area at large.”

The fight between Disney and DeSantis started when Disney criticized a Florida law that bars classroom discussions of sexual orientation and gender identity. Several lawsuits have been filed since, with Disney accusing DeSantis of retaliation.

Almost 2 in 3 GOP voters say Trump is strongest candidate: survey

Nearly two-thirds of all Republican and Republican-leaning voters say former President Trump would be the strongest GOP candidate to beat President Biden in the 2024 presidential election, according to a new survey.

DeSantis wants judge disqualified from Disney’s free speech suit

DeSantis′ attorney filed a motion in federal court in Tallahassee on Friday seeking to disqualify Chief U.S. District Judge Mark Walker from overseeing the lawsuit filed by Disney last month. The lawsuit alleges that DeSantis and his appointees violated the company’s right to free speech, as well as the contracts clause, by taking over the special governing district that previously had been controlled by Disney supporters after Disney opposed Florida legislation that critics have dubbed “Don’t Say Gay.”

DeSantis’ motion said Walker referenced the ongoing dispute between his administration and Disney during hearings in two unrelated lawsuits before him dealing with free speech issues and fear of retaliation for violating new laws championed by DeSantis and Republican lawmakers. One of those was a First Amendment lawsuit filed by Florida professors that challenged a new law establishing a survey about “intellectual freedom and viewpoint diversity” on state campuses.

Walker, who was nominated to the federal bench in 2012 by President Barack Obama and is now chief judge of the district, tossed out that lawsuit on the grounds that the professors didn’t have standing to challenge the law championed by DeSantis and Florida lawmakers.

In the first case, Walker said, “What’s in the record, for example — is there anything in the record that says we are now going to take away Disney’s special status because they’re woke?”

Disney lawsuit against DeSantis expanded after bill voiding land deals

Disney on Monday expanded its federal lawsuit against Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, accusing the Republican leader of doubling down on his “retribution campaign” against the company by signing legislation to void Disney’s development deals in Orlando.

Disney’s amended lawsuit also noted that Florida’s Republican-led Legislature passed legislation last week targeting Walt Disney World’s monorail system.

“Governor DeSantis and his allies have no apparent intent to moderate their retaliatory campaign any time soon,” Disney wrote in its additions to the civil complaint it filed in U.S. District Court in Tallahassee in April.

DeSantis’ office did not immediately respond to CNBC’s request for comment on the amended complaint.

Disney alleges that DeSantis began a war of retaliation against the company in 2022, after it publicly criticized the controversial Florida bill — dubbed “Don’t Say Gay” by critics — that limits discussion of sexual orientation and gender identity in classrooms.

The governor and his allies targeted Disney’s special tax district, formerly called the Reedy Creek Improvement District, which has allowed the entertainment giant to effectively self-govern its Orlando parks’ operations for decades. The drawn-out feud spilled into the courts after the district’s new board of supervisors, which had been hand-picked by DeSantis, voted to nullify development deals that Disney struck shortly before they replaced the old board.

The governor’s board members claimed the deals were unlawfully passed and undercut their power over the 25,000-acre area. But Disney says the contracts were crafted to help lock in its long-term development plans amid escalating tension with DeSantis and his allies.

On Friday, the final day of the state’s 2023 legislative session, DeSantis signed a bill that included language effectively targeting Disney’s development contracts. It precludes an independent special district “from complying with the terms of any development agreement” that is struck within three months before a law “modifying the manner of selecting members” of that special district’s governing body.

Republican state Sen. Blaise Ingoglia added that language to the bill days after warning Disney: “You are not going to win this fight. This Governor will.”

Democratic members of the Legislature have been quick to condemn the battle.

“The Governor’s inability to grasp basic economics, coupled with his punitive style, has created a bloated and protracted grudge match, which is being bankrolled by the taxpayers,” state Sen. Jason Pizzo, a Democrat, told CNBC. “As the state’s executive, heading the party which has historically yielded to free market principles and less regulation, this third legislative effort to injure a private company is antithetical to conservative governance.”

Pizzo lambasted DeSantis for using the state’s revenue on “battling iconic brands.”

“Regardless of how many times he shouts Florida is Free, these are the methods of a socialist tyrant, not a Republican wunderkind,” he said.

Democratic state Sen. Linda Stewart, a staunch critic of DeSantis’ actions against Disney, called the feud between DeSantis and Disney “insane” and laid blame on her Republican counterparts.

“Every day it seems like there’s another way that they want to try to make things more difficult for Disney, but all they’re doing is costing taxpayers money to hire lawyers to go defend what they are doing,”

That's probably the best thing that could happen.
