Kemi Badenoch may eventually win the Tory leadership contest; she may even be an effective opposition to Kier Starmer. However, I doubt if she can last long enough to lead the Tories to the next general election.

Mark my words, JD Vance, the republican VP nominee, will run for US President in 2028.

In the words of Barrack Obama, the Tories got a "shellacking" tonight,!

"When the president does it, that means it's not illegal." Richard Nixon, 1977. Today SCOTUS said what Nixon said 😇

Unfortunately, our choices are between an old man and a liar. Biden should have declined to run for a second term, like LBJ did.

The trial and conviction of a former president is novel, but should not be unheard of since in the words of Theodore Roosevelt "No man is above the law and no man is below it: nor do we ask any man's permission when we ask him to obey it" .

Today SCOTUS ruled that states have no authority to remove Donald Trump from the 2024 presidential ballot. Only the people, via Congress, can disqualify a presidential candidate. Good decision!

Mitch McConnell is set to retire as senate minority leader at the end of this term and not seek reelection in 2026. I wonder if he is just getting out of Trump's way....

@walel Happy new year 🙏🏿

Scotus oral arguments are an interesting listen......“What kind of world are we living in … if a president orders his SEAL team to murder a political rival and then resigns or is not impeached — that is not a crime?"

[Olu A Adesida @oluadesida]

@walel We hope so bro.

@SashaAnnSimons @WBEZ @WBEZreset You're doing an awesome job. Keep it up!

It sure does look like Joe Biden is setting up for Gavin Newsome to run for the 2024 presidential elections

Kevin McCarthy quitting the US House of Reps sounds like revenge to me

Hello December!

The Desantis vs Newsome debate...a dress rehearsal or a publicity stunt?

Daniel Cameron lost his bid to unseat Andy Bashear, Governor of Kentucky yesterday. He's young, he may still have a political future.

@AdeElegbede so far Jim Jordan, Steve Scalise and some are pushing for Donald Trump :-(

It's a year of many firsts, as Kevin McCarthy is ousted as Speaker of the House.
