News HOWARD KURTZ: Former Never Trumper JD Vance is VP pick to shape MAGA’s future
My Spidey sense told me all along that Donald Trump wanted to pick JD Vance as his running mate. He saw the freshman senator as a populist conservative in his own mold, an eloquent voice who could help cement Trumpism as the future of the Republican Party. Plus, he had a powerful advocate in Donald…

News HOWARD KURTZ: Trump survives shooting, but politically charged blame game never fades
The assassination attempt against Donald Trump in Pennsylvania was a chilling and frightening moment in the history of a country that has seen too many such shootings. We are all grateful, of course, that the former president was not wounded more seriously and for the Secret Service agents who protected him. I am especially grateful…

News HOWARD KURTZ: George Clooney says Biden is unfit and politicians privately agree
George Clooney has bailed on Joe Biden. That’s right, the superstar actor who just helped the president raise zillions of dollars, wants him out of the race. You may not care what an entertainer who’s not in the business of politics has to say, but his reasoning is what matters here: “It’s devastating to say…

News HOWARD KURTZ: Biden denounces media, political elites during call to ‘Morning Joe’
President Biden’s ABC interview, given a huge buildup by the campaign itself, was a flop that changed no one’s mind about his ability to serve another four years. Biden was raspy and low energy with George Stephanopoulos, lost his train of thought or interrupted himself a couple of times, insisted he wasn’t frail, dismissed polls…

News HOWARD KURTZ: Dems launch blame game for Biden’s poor debate performance
It was just a bad night. You can’t judge a presidency by 90 minutes. It’s the inner circle’s fault for screwing up the debate prep. It’s the media’s fault for obsessing on the age issue. It’s the CNN moderators who failed to push back on Donald Trump’s falsehoods. It’s the Democratic Party’s fault for being…

News HOWARD KURTZ: Will Trump really pick Rubio, Vance or Burgum as his VP?
For months, the media-industrial complex has churned out useless speculation about the veepstakes, much of it generated by the wannabe candidates themselves. Out of nowhere, these stories would appear: Tom Cotton, an unusually strong candidate! Ben Carson! Byron Donalds! Glenn Youngkin! People who you knew, whatever their qualifications, didn’t really have a shot at becoming…

News HOWARD KURTZ: Media deem Trump the nominee, despite Haley tying him to Putin
Nikki Haley is campaigning hard, making the television rounds and ramping up her rhetoric against Donald Trump. She is fighting on her home turf – South Carolina, the state that knows her best – and yet the media are acting in many ways as if the campaign is over. That’s largely because the state’s former…

News HOWARD KURTZ: Trump’s NATO comments trigger fierce media, European opposition
Donald Trump has made some news that is reverberating around the world. It wasn’t him saying – after that incredible Super Bowl comeback by Kansas City – that he signed a law boosting earnings for musicians so Taylor Swift shouldn’t endorse Joe Biden (also “I like her boyfriend, Travis”). It wasn’t “we will throw off…
