“Republicans are waking up to the reality that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. could sink their standard-bearer just as easily as he could hurt President Joe Biden, after a pair of new polls showed the presence of third-party candidates on the ballot might not necessarily benefit former President Donald Trump,” Politico reports.
“Even Trump is acknowledging his potential problem.”
Said Trump: “They say he hurts Biden.
Donald Trump violated his gag order by calling the jurors in his “hush money” criminal trial “Democrats” in a new interview, Los Angeles Magazine reports.

The centerpiece was the announcement of $7 billion in grants through the Environmental Protection Agency’s “solar for all” program, funded by last year’s $369 billion Inflation Reduction Act, and which Biden said will benefit hundreds of thousands of mostly low-income families who currently spend up to 30 percent of their income on energy.
“These awards across the country [are to] states, territories, tribal governments, municipalities and nonprofits to develop programs to enable low income and disadvantaged communities to benefit from residential solar power.
