NEW: Brad Parscale is back again in Trump's orbit. The former 2020 campaign manager hated by the ex-president is building his post-White House digital operation. businessinsider.com/brad-parscale-… by @tomlobianco ($) in @businessinsider
The man behind Donald Trump's post-presidential communication operation is someone he hates and says stole his money: Brad Parscale.
It's the latest slap-dash ironic twist to come amid the Trump's chaotic departure from the most powerful job on Earth. Parscale got demoted last summer as leader of the '20 reelection effort amid sagging poll numbers & bad publicity surrounding his extravagant spending habits.

GOP Sen. Patrick Toomey's son poured money into GameStop during the stock's most volatile stretch — then sold out a day later as his father warned of a 'bubble' market businessinsider.com/pat-toomey-son… by @JakeLahut & @davelevinthal ($) @businessinsider
A high ranking Republican senator's son made a pair of GameStop stock trades as his father cautioned against any further regulation stemming from the Reddit-driven "short squeeze" fiasco, according to US Senate financial disclosure forms reviewed by Insider.
Sen. Pat Toomey's college-aged son purchased up to $15,000 worth of GameStop stock on January 27, then sold it the next day for an amount between $1,001 and $15,000, the disclosures show.

NEW: Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida is making an early play for the title of President Joe Biden's top GOP foe. by @TinaSfon & @rbravender ($) in @Politicsinsider businessinsider.com/ron-desantis-2…
First item in his plan of attack? Going after Biden's pandemic strategy, an offensive DeSantis started even before the Democrat had taken the oath of office. He's called Biden's plan a big mistake.
GOP insiders expect DeSantis, an Iraq War veteran, to use his bully pulpit in Florida to try to combat Biden policies that conservatives view as overreaching — much the same way GOP governors sparred with the White House during the Obama administration.

NEW: Republicans know they are leaderless without Donald Trump in the White House, and their public comments are starting to show it. by @eliza_relman @leonardkl @elvina_nawaguna & @davelevinthal ($) @Politicsinsider businessinsider.com/trump-gop-repu…
Insider interviewed a dozen GOP senators in recent days to ask them point blank whether they'd count Trump as the person currently in charge of the Republican Party, or if they'd bestow that title on someone else.
Their answers suggest it's indeed a wide-open race that won't be settled anytime soon.

Some Republican elected officials said that the former president now living in his private South Florida club holds the title until another member of the GOP comes along and claims it.

Kamala Harris is the president-in-waiting. Here's how the VP is balancing building her own brand against serving as a loyal soldier on Team Biden. businessinsider.com/kamala-harris-… by @rbravender & @TinaSfon ($) @businessinsider
Kamala Harris is the president-in-waiting.

It's the awkward reality that has always come with being second-in-command. The vice president's principal job function is to be ready to step in if she's needed.
At the same time, Harris can't appear over-eager to get the top job, and Democrats bristle at questions about whether she's interested in a future White House run or whether Biden — the oldest president in US history at age 78 — intends to try for a second term in 2024.
