Donald Trump announced he would be making a special address this Tuesday at 9pm EST from Mar-a-Lago. He is expected to announce his bid for the 2024 GOP presidential ticket.

Donald Trump on Thursday claimed that he meddled in the 2018 election to be governor of Florida, saying that he ordered the counting of ballots be stopped to ensure DeSantis won.

Donald Trump's attorneys called the Justice Department's investigation into the documents seized at Mar-a-Lago as 'criminal' today while urging a court to uphold the appointment of the special master.

District Court Judge Mark Pittman, an appointee of former President Donald Trump based in Fort Worth, said the program usurped Congress' power to make laws.

Donald Trump took credit for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' rising career and blasted Fox, The Wall Street Journal and The New York Post for blaming the GOP's subpar performance on him.

Trump-backed candidates running in some of the most consequential races either outright lost or are still struggling - and fellow Republicans reportedly hold him responsible.

The former vice president held a conversation less than a week after the January 6 riots when he certified the election results declaring Joe Biden the winner, much to Trump's chagrin.

WHITON: There are many reasons for Trump to step aside, but the most glaring is the lackluster performance of Republicans in Tuesday's midterm elections.

Reports on Wednesday suggested the former president was furious at the results, with a predicted 'Red Wave' of success for the GOP failing to materialise at the polls.

Some of Trump's most prolific supporters who he publicly and loudly backed crashed and burned, leading to a post mortem about the former president's role going forward.

The headlines come in as the fallout continues from what many see as the GOP's failure to take turn historic unpopularity for President Joe Biden and the Democrats to a 'Red Wave.'

Republicans on Wednesday were trying to come to terms with the failure of their predicted 'red wave', with many accusing Donald Trump of harming the party by promoting bad candidates.

Donald Trump's mansion resides in Palm Beach County, which has a mandatory evacuation, but his adviser said he won't be leaving. The storm has already hit the Bahamas, causing flooding.

RICHARD LITTLEJOHN: The 44-year-old DeSantis crushed his Democrat opponent to secure a second term and may well have derailed Donald Trump's plan to win back the White House.

In a Truth social post on Wednesday afternoon, Trump ignored the embarrassing defeats of Don Bolduc and Mehmet Oz and dismissed the growing disdain for him.

MCCAIN: The 'red wave' was a mirage. We can now see two clear pathways ahead. One leads to success and the other to failure for the GOP.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis' landslide win on Tuesday night elevated talk of a 2024 presidential bid and put him on a collision course with Donald Trump.

DeSantis stormed to victory yesterday, defeating Democrat Charlie Crist by a whopping 19 points in yesterday's midterm and flipping the blue stronghold of Miami Dade county.

The GOP kingmaker endorsed around 300 candidates, hoping a strong showing could spark another bid for the White House and weaken Joe Biden.

Almost all the votes have been counted (89 per cent) and while Lauren Boebert is on 49.1 per cent, Adam Frisch is on 50.9 per cent.
