Heritage Action for America, a conservative grassroots group, has announced the successful registration of 50,000 new voters in Georgia and Arizona, key swing states. The organization believes this effort, aimed at mobilizing conservative voters, could significantly impact the 2024 presidential election and shift the balance of power in Congress.
Retired federal appeals court judge and prominent conservative legal scholar J. Michael Luttig has endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for president, citing former President Donald Trump’s candidacy as an existential threat to American democracy.

Despite the six conservative justices forming a supermajority, the Supreme Court’s 2023 term reveals a more nuanced picture than critics might suggest.

Conservative commentator Jonah Goldberg believes that Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) will fail in her attempt to oust House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA). He also predicts that former President Donald Trump is unlikely to support Greene’s motion, as Johnson is a key figure in the GOP conference. However, Lula Garcia Navarro of the New York Times suggests that Greene’s actions may be perceived as a threat by Trump if they cause excessive chaos in the House of Representatives.
US Representative Lauren Boebert (R-CO) has seen a significant decrease in fundraising from individual donors after switching to a more conservative congressional district. According to the Federal Election Commission (FEC), Boebert raised around $388,805 from individuals in the first quarter of 2024 compared to $2.7 million in 2023. Despite her lead in the primary race, Syracuse University political science professor Grant Davis Reeher said the drop in funding could raise concerns.
