“We're going to elect Charles W Herbster--a good man, a very good man. He's going to be elected as your governor.”

Trump at rally endorsing Charles Herbster, candidate for Nebraska governor, despite 8 women accusing Herbster of groping.

Via @NE_Examiner: nebraskaexaminer.com/2022/04/14/gop…
Trump in Nebraska: "Disinformation. Remember the party of disinformation--and we have to say it because almost everything they say is false."
Trump defending Herbster & campaigning for him in the face of a multitude of accusations, mirroring his defense of Roy Moore. Tonight in Nebraska: “He’s been badly maligned, and it’s a shame…I defend people when I know they’re good.”

8 women have accused Herbster of groping.
Trump: "We've endorsed Dr. Oz. We've endorsed J.P., right—J.D. Mandel. And he's doing great. They're all doing good. They're all doing good. And let's see what happens."

(He's endorsed J.D. Vance in Ohio)
Trump in Nebraska:

"Who likes Trumpism without Trump?"
Trump going on a long riff about Nebraska's Republican senator:

“He’s an embarrassment to the people of Nebraska…this little Ben Sasse, he’s a light weight…I said, ‘You’re a nasty guy, you know that right.’”
Trump says he's not endorsing for or against GOP incumbent in #NE02 but then goes off:

“Another one who I think is bad news is your guy Don Bacon…I hope you vote against that guy…I think Bacon’s a bad guy...Good luck, Steve [*Bacon’s challenger*], whoever you are!”
Trump welcomed Charles Herbster onto stage & says he's been there for Trump since 2015.

Trump follows: "The primary is on May 10, and I think Charles is going to do very well."
And Billy Long has made an appearance at Trump's Nebraska rally as he continues to vie for 45's endorsement in his competitive Missouri Senate race run.

“Billy Long. He’s a great guy. He’s a character too."
Pennsylvania's retiring GOP Senator Pat Toomey finds himself into Trump's rally remarks.

"He did nothing at all except fight me on taxing China."
After 104 minutes, Trump wraps in Nebraska.

He'll rally in Pennsylvania alongside Mehmet Oz on Friday.

New tonight from the DNC —>

The Democratic Party is set to upend their traditional early voting state lineup for the 2024 Democratic presidential nomination. All state parties may apply to be among 5 “early states.”

No favor will be given to the likes of Iowa, NH, SC or NV.
Key dates:

States have until May 6 to declare intent to apply & June 3 to file their applications for early status.
One state prepared to go all in: Nevada.

Just spoke with Mo Brooks-->

NBC: Did [Trump] directly say that there should be a new special election for the presidency?
Brooks: In one of the convos he mentioned having a subsequent election for the presidency.
NBC: This was after this Labor Day?
Brooks: After Sept 1, 2021.
Transcript of Mo Brooks asserting that Trump, in late 2021, was pushing to be reinstalled in the WH with a new, subsequent presidential election: Image
NBC: Did it take you aback? The former president dropping his endorsement of you?

Brooks: Well in normal circumstances it would, but in Trump world, you come to expect the unexpected.

Hillyard: Did you get the chance to talk with him before he made the decision?

Brooks: No... Image

Hello from CPAC ~ Ron DeSantis, Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley will be among those taking the stage on day 1 of 4. Russian invasion is what all woke up to, today. To what extent does it become a focus…

Sounds from CPAC, below: Image
Arizona's U.S. Rep. Andy Biggs:

“When you say you’re going to fund our woke military, then what we want is--we want to make sure there are clean, transparent, free, fair and open elections in the United States of America.” ImageImage
Ohio's @MaxMillerOH, Candidate for Congress:

“When [Trump] returns to the White House, he’s going to need each and every one of us here.” Image

New Audio out of Arizona, where GOP AG Brnovich has launched investigation into 2020 election—>

AG’s Investigator to fmr Maricopa Cnty official Adrian Fontes:

“I volunteered for some reason—I’ll never understand it—to be the election integrity investigator at the AG office.”
Listen to Audio of Brnovich's Investigator Interviewing Fontes-->

Investigator: "So obviously, you know about the audit."
Fontes: "That was almost air quotes."
Investigator: It was."
Investigator: Nobody's talking about a stolen election at all.
Fontes: But then why are you here? //
Investigator: Well you have to think about it this way. Like when I worked at the police dept & somebody comes and makes a complaint, we investigate.

TODAY: Just a week after the Climate Summit in Glasgow, the U.S. govt is holding its largest ever sale for offshore oil drilling rights in the Gulf — 80 million acres, or 100k sq miles.

Our look from the Gulf, with @oorheeles —>
Today, oil companies will place bids on the rights to drill on new Gulf waters despite the Biden Admin’s exec order earlier this year placing a moratorium on future leases. A federal judge ruled against the order this summer, leading to today’s mega auction of 80 million acres:
Louisiana’s @ltgrusselhonore, founder of GreenARMY, on offshore oil drilling:

“It has happened for decades. We've treated the Gulf like a cesspool: Go out, get the oil & leave the mess…Multiple administrations have failed to hold companies accountable.” Image

As Trump warns Pence to walk his line, it's worth just going back to 2016 & the fact Pence knew what he'd have to defend.

While under consideration for VP slot, I asked him about Trump's attacks on his friend Ted Cruz.

Pence responded: "Rubbing is racing."
The day after the RNC, as Trump rehashed his conspiracy theory that Rafael Cruz was an associate of Lee Harvey Oswald, Pence stood to Trump's left as his running mate said:

“Ted never denied it was his father." Image
At same 2016 presser, Trump openly chuckled:

"The party has come together...you got to understand I ran as an outsider. I didn't want anybody. Now I have guys like Mike Pence. This isn't supposed to happen. If I don't win, I'm going to blame Mike, right?"
