John Carter’s cognitive ability as “worse than Biden,” saying, “vote for me, a guy who’s not half dead.”Despite President Donald Trump endorsing Carter for re-election, Shlomi believes he would be a better ally in Congress for the president.

Gavin Newsom, who delights in using Trump-like trolling tactics, is widely viewed as the Democratic Party’s presidential front-runner.He is riding a wave of interviews and podcasts, boosted by a new memoir, and trying to make the case that as California governor he is not as liberal as his record might suggest.
