Republican Rep. Julia Letlow of Louisiana officially launched her campaign to oust Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) just days after securing an endorsement from President Donald Trump.

Trump came out in support of Letlow on Saturday, calling her a “Big Star” who would embrace the MAGA agenda. Although Republican operatives like the National Republican Senatorial Committee customarily endorse the incumbent, Cassidy’s controversial votes may have cost him the support of the president.

‘I am confident I will win.’

“I’m honored to have President Trump’s endorsement and trust,” Letlow said in a post on X. “My mission is clear: to ensure the nation our children inherit is safer and stronger.”

“This United States Senate seat belongs to the people of Louisiana, because we deserve conservative leadership that will not waver.”

At least a half-dozen states applied to be in the early nominating window for 2028’s Democratic presidential campaign, kicking off a contentious battle for securing an influential perch inside the primary calendar.

The usual suspects — New Hampshire, Nevada, South Carolina and Michigan, who made up the early states in Democrats’ 2024 primary calendar, though not in the order set out by the Democratic National Committee — are all back, per their state parties. So is Iowa, hoping to reinsert itself into the process after it was bounced four years ago. Georgia also applied.

A prominent Democratic governor is no longer ducking the question about his national ambitions.

Andy Beshear, the two-term governor of Kentucky, is openly laying the groundwork for a potential 2028 presidential run. While Beshear stopped short of formally declaring, his comments, staffing moves, and message have left little doubt that he sees himself as a serious contender for his party’s next nomination.

Beshear, 48, has become a favorite topic of speculation inside Democratic circles thanks to a resume that stands out in a polarized political environment. A Southern Democrat who has won statewide three times in a state Donald Trump carried by roughly 30 points, Beshear represents a profile many national Democrats believe could broaden the party’s appeal.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom posted an AI-generated video depicting President Donald Trump, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, and White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller in handcuffs.

“It’s CUFFING Season,” reads the text that appears at the beginning of the video.

It shows Trump, Hegseth, and Miller sitting on a sidewalk with their hands behind their backs.

In the next scene, they are sitting in the back of a car with handcuffs on, and they raise their hands to their faces and begin to cry.

Finally, they are shown walking in front of a courthouse, still handcuffed.

Gavin Newsom Hands GOP a 2028 Gift With Statement on Healthcare for Illegals – RedState– redstate.com

One of the biggest whoppers Democrats told during the Schumer Shutdown was that they were not fighting for taxpayer-funded healthcare for illegals as part of the demands they wanted to be met to end the shutdown.

“Federal law prohibits the use of Medicare, Medicaid, the Children’s Health Insurance Program, and the Affordable Care Act to provide health insurance in any way, shape, or form to undocumented immigrants—period, full stop. Democrats aren’t trying to change that,” Democrat House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (NY-08) proclaimed at the time.

Though that is exactly what Jeffries and his fellow Democrats were trying to do, it was clear that the subject of taxpayer funding of illegal immigrant healthcare was a sore spot and for good reason, considering the likelihood that Jeffries knew the longer the shutdown dragged out, the more frustrated the American people would get with Democrats holding up funding for the military and SNAP recipients just to get some assurances on healthcare for illegals.

Ted Cruz Aiming for 2028 Presidential Run– legalinsurrection.com

Axios claims Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) will run for president in 2028 by professing his conservative views while attacking Tucker Carlson.

I have to admit that it’s a great way to showcase your traditional conservative views.

But it will likely put him against Vice President JD Vance:

Why it matters: By poking at Carlson’s isolationist foreign policy views, accusing him of antisemitism and more, Cruz is putting himself on a collision course with Vice President Vance, a Carlson ally widely seen as the 2028 GOP frontrunner.

  • The senator also is diving into issues that are tearing at President Trump’s MAGA movement, namely ideological differences over Israel.
  • “We have a responsibility to speak out even when it’s uncomfortable,” Cruz said in a statement to Axios. “When voices in our own movement push dangerous and misguided ideas, we can’t look the other way. I won’t hesitate to call out those who peddle destructive, vile rhetoric and threaten our principles and our future. Silence in the face of recklessness is not an option.”

The poll, conducted by Emerson College, shows that 46 percent of participants would support Vance, 45 percent would vote for Newsom, and 10 percent were undecided.

Neither of the lawmakers have formally announced a bid for president, but are currently seen as their parties’ likely frontrunners in the next presidential race.

The Western Journal asked readers again this week: If the 2028 Republican primary were held today, who would you support?

Vice President J.D. Vance continues to dominate the field, though his lead has narrowed again compared to last week’s poll.

Vance received 50.1 percent of the vote in this week’s straw poll, which was conducted Oct. 13 to 19 and drew 14,952 responses.

That marks a slight dip from the 53.5 percent total he recorded the week before, continuing a two-week decline following his high of 62.1 percent earlier this month.

President Donald Trump finished second once again, earning the support of 13.4 percent of the respondents while being term-limited.

Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) joined NBC’s Meet the Press on Sunday, where he offered a surprisingly upbeat endorsement of former Vice President Kamala Harris as a potential 2028 presidential contender, even though she lost decisively to Donald Trump in 2024.

Kelly was asked directly by host Kristen Welker whether Harris would be “a strong candidate in 2028.”

“Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. I mean, she was, she was the nominee last time. I think you would encourage her to run. I think she would be incredibly strong. I think you’re going to have, you know, a dozen, if not more, folks running, probably on either side,” Kelly said.

Elon Musk is quietly slowing down his effort to create a third party and is considering backing Vice President JD Vance in 2028, sources familiar with the billionaire’s plans told the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) in a Tuesday report.

After a public blow-up with President Donald Trump over the “Big, Beautiful, Bill,” Musk announced he was creating a third party called the “America Party.” Since, Musk has hardly mentioned the third party effort on X. Sources told the WSJ that Musk has told allies he has been focused on maintaining a relationship with Vance while he weighs going all in on the “America Party.”

Vance has never spoken with Musk about 2028, but the VP has encouraged him to support Trump and Republicans in the 2026 midterms, sources familiar with the situation told the Daily Caller.
