Gov. Andy Beshear (D-KY) says “it’s time” to abolish the Electoral College, arguing “in Kentucky, we will never see a candidate for president or vice president unless they're from here.” “Why? Because people just expect that it'll go one way or the other,” Beshear says. “It's the idea that someone would get elected not just knowing about seven states, but having to earn votes all over the United States.”

When asked about the recent settlement that prevents the IRS from auditing any Trump family tax records, Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) says President Trump “obviously had claims that he brought against the government as a result of” the Biden administration. “I think when it comes to any agreements that the president has made with the IRS, from my vantage point, you know, I think looking back at what the Biden administration did,” he says. “They certainly weaponized the government and were targeting the president.”
