Lara Trump blames X glitches on foreign entities and the ‘deep state’

By Katelyn Caralle, Senior U.S. Political Reporter

Lara Trump is blaming X glitches during her father-in-law’s event Monday on Iranian hackers and a coordinated attack from the ‘deep state.’

The co-chair of the Republican National Committee and wife of Eric Trump accused haters of being given a ‘free pass.’

It comes after a shaky start to the former president’s X event with Elon Musk on Monday even, which started 40 minutes late and was riddled with glitches – similar to the campaign kickoff event the billionaire CEO held for Florida Gov Ron DeSantis last year when he launched his presidential bid.

Speaking with Fox News host Sean Hannity late Monday evening, Lara Trump said:

I think it’s pretty obvious at this point, there are a lot of people out there and there’s a massive effort, of course, to keep Donald Trump out of the White House. These people are terrified. This is the deep state. This is the swamp in Washington, D.C.

These are the people who are our adversaries in many cases, they know that the jig is up, the game is over when Donald J. Trump returns to the White House and they are petrified of it.

They’ve had a free pass for three and a half years that the people who want to do nefarious activities to us here in America, to our allies around the world, they’ve gotten a free pass and a free ride and they would like another four years of that with Kamala Harris at the helm.

 

Elon Musk invites Kamala Harris on X for an interview

After his marathon two-hour X Spaces chat with Donald Trump on Monday night, Elon Musk extended a similar invitation to Kamala Harris.

The Democratic nominee has been criticized for not doing interviews since she took over from joe Biden as the party’s 2024 standard bearer.

Musk said:

Happy to host Kamala on an 𝕏 Spaces too.

Before his invitation Harris’ campaign said in a statement:

Trump’s entire campaign is in service of people like Elon Musk and himself – self-obsessed rich guys who will sell out the middle class and who cannot run a livestream in the year 2024.

 

Trump touts 1 billion X accounts tuned in or talked about his discussion with Elon Musk

By Katelyn Caralle, Senior U.S. Political Reporter

Donald Trump is trying to get the heat off his glitchy X event with Elon Musk.

Instead, the former president is touting the number of people who tuned in for the conversation Monday night – and slamming legacy media for refusing to report on it favorably.

Trump referenced Musk’s post claiming 1 billion accounts either tuned in or discussed the chat he had with Trump.

On his Truth Social account on Tuesday morning, Trump wrote:

An all-time record, but the media refuses to write about it because they are FAKE NEWS!

 

Day 23: Kamala Harris still hasn’t done an interview or press conference since entering the 2024 race

By Katelyn Caralle, Senior U.S. Political Reporter

Vice President Kamala Harris has still not done an interview since becoming the Democratic presidential candidate.

It’s been 23 since Harris took over as the presumed nominee, but she has not taken a single question from press in that time.

The VP has barnstormed early primary states and held campaign events across the country, but many are concerned how she will perform off-script following weeks of heightened enthusiasm for the 2024 Democratic ticket.

 

Biden heads to New Orleans to announce new funds for cancer research

By Emily Goodin, senior White House correspondent

President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden will visit New Orleans on Tuesday to promote their ‘moonshot’ initiative to reduce cancer deaths.

It’s a cause close to their hearts. Their son Beau died of brain cancer in 2015.

The Bidens will announce $150 million in awards from the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health. Those funds will support eight teams of researchers around the country working on ways to help surgeons more successfully remove tumors for people facing cancer.

Before he leaves office in January, Biden hopes to move the U.S. closer to the goal he set in 2022 to cut cancer deaths by 50% over the next 25 years, and to improve the lives of caregivers and those suffering from cancer.

Cancer is the second-highest killer of people in the U.S. after heart disease.
