Miami Mayor Francis Suarez announced on Tuesday that he is suspending his campaign for the Republican presidential nomination, having failed to qualify for the first GOP nomination debate.
The World Economic Forum-linked Republican candidate is the first to drop out of the 2024 race, at least sticking to his own advice which he issued ahead of the debate, that those who do not qualify should exit.
“I have decided to suspend my campaign for President,” Suarez said in a statement, emphasizing his “commitment to making this a better nation for every American remains.”

Two budget amendments introduced by Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-Ga.) aim to push the two federal and two state prosecutions of former President Donald Trump until after the 2024 presidential election. Clyde says he plans to amend the Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies 2024 appropriations bill with language that would “…prohibit the use of federal funding for the prosecution of any major presidential candidate prior to the upcoming presidential election on November 5th, 2024.”
The Georgia Congressman called the four pending prosecutions of Trump “sham indictments”, adding they are “… intended to smear and take down President Trump, as well as hinder his ability to campaign effectively.” Clyde stated that, “One amendment would prevent taxpayer dollars from funding federal prosecutions, while a second would prohibit funding for state prosecutions.”
U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan has set a trial date for President Trump's sham J6 related prosecution for March 4, 2024.
This is ONE DAY before Super Tuesday.
We must DEFUND this blatant election interference.
The upcoming Fall appropriations process will include 12 ‘must pass’ budget bills necessary for funding the functions of the U.S. federal government. Some members of the House Republican Conference view the budget appropriations process as an opportunity to secure the passage of legislative agenda items that would otherwise not pass as stand alone legislation.
Last week the House Freedom Caucus announced their list of demands for House Speaker Kevin McCarthy to include in a government funding stop-gap measure when Congress resumes its legislative session after Labor Day. The legislative items include further reductions in federal spending levels, a House Republican border security bill that would fund border wall construction and place additional limits on asylum seekers, and a vague ask to address the weaponization of the DOJ.
The stop-gap funding bill, in the form of a Continuing Resolution, will be needed to fund the government as Congress is unlikely to pass the twelve appropriations bills to fund the government before the start of the new fiscal year on October 1st.

Neoconservative Bill Kristol’s Republican Accountability Project has launched a six-figure ad campaign against former President Donald Trump with a 60-second ad spot running on Rupert Murdoch’s Fox News in the Phoenix, Milwaukee, and Atlanta media markets. The ‘NeverTrump’ group has also purchased a ‘virtual’ billboard in New York City’s Times Square featuring the former President’s mugshot and a list of the charges filed against him in the four separate federal and state prosecutions.
Gunner Ramer, political director of Republican Accountability Project said the purpose of the ad campaign was to “…[remind] the American people that no one in this country is above the law—not even a former president.”
The 60-second ad spot features a voice-over stating: “When Donald Trump was president, he thought it didn’t matter how many laws and norms he broke … Many of us even started saying ‘nothing matters’ … But in America the rule of law still matters. And that’s why Donald Trump has been charged with 91 felonies in four separate cases … This is America, and no one is above the law.”
The anti-Trump ad campaign is just the latest political stunt by Kristol and his associate Sarah Longwell.
The National Pulse previously reported that the two have also launched an advocacy group to push for further U.S. involvement in support of Ukraine in their war with Russia. The organization, Republicans for Ukraine, will use an initial $2 million budget to target Republican voters and lawmakers with a pro-war message in an attempt to revive flagging Republican support for additional military aid for the Eastern European nation.

Republican presidential candidate and tech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy received a cease and desist letter from rapper Eminem, who is demanding that Ramaswamy stop performing his songs on the campaign trail.
Acting through his music’s license holder, BMI, Eminem informed Ramaswamy campaign lawyers that he is “…objecting to the Vivek Ramaswamy campaign’s use of [his] musical compositions (the “Eminem Works”) and requesting that BMI remove all Eminem Works from the Agreement.”
Ramaswamy, a 2024 candidate for the Republican presidential nomination, made a media splash when he performed Eminem’s hit song “Lose Yourself” during an event at the Iowa State Fair hosted by Governor Kim Reynolds.
Eminem, whose real name is Marshall Bruce Mathers III, is no stranger to legal controversies over his nearly 30-year career. In June of 2000 the rapper was slapped with weapons charges after pulling an unloaded gun on an employee of the rival music group, Insane Clown Posse. In July of 2000 he was sued by his now ex-wife Kimberly ‘Kim’ Anne Scott for defamation after he graphically described her attempted suicide in the song entitled “Kim.”
The United States Secret Service has twiceinvestigated Eminem for threatening Presidents George W. Bush and Donald Trump in his music. In 2016, the rapper released a free-style rap entitled “Campaign Speech” that was highly critical of Donald Trump and in 2020 he authorized the Biden campaign to use “Lose Yourself” – the same song performed by Ramaswamy in Iowa – in a campaign video.
Eminem was once known for railing against the establishment, and censoriousness. That, however, was twenty years and several hundred million dollars ago.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis may drop “out of the Presidential race in order to run, in Florida, against Rick Scott for Senate,” according to a new post from former President Trump. The “rumor” has been called “fake news” by DeSantis press secretary Bryan Griffin, who himself is accused of running a number of anonymous pro-DeSantis accounts on X (formerly Twitter).
Polling following the first Republican presidential debate held last week in Milwaukee, Wisconsin has shown little movement among the candidates, with former President Trump continuing to hold a commanding lead – despite declining to participate in the debate. At least one betting odds bookmaker, however, now believes tech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy – instead of DeSantis – is the favorite for second place in the Republican primary following his debate performance.
This is fake news. Clearly, Donald Trump and his army of consultants are panicked about @RonDeSantis' winning debate performance and the strong momentum that has followed. They know this is a two-man race, and we will carry this on to a win in this presidential primary. Instead… https://t.co/f4PNHEzHnE
Florida Senator Rick Scott may be vulnerable to a primary challenge from someone like Governor DeSantis. Some of his Republican colleagues in the Senate at least partially blame the Scott’s management of the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) and its finances for the Republican failure to retake the U.S. Senate during the 2022 mid-term elections. Scott also attempted a failed leadership coup against Republican Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell at the end of last year.
Former Congresswoman Debbie Mucarsel-Powell, a Florida Democrat, has announced her intention to challenge Scott for the U.S. Senate in the 2024 general election.
Rick Scott was first elected to the U.S. Senate in 2018, after serving for two terms as the Governor of Florida. According to Morning Consult, Scott holds a 72 percent approval rating among Florida Republicans – with 38 percent strongly approving of his job performance, and 34 percent saying they ‘somewhat approve.’

Beatrix von Storch, the Deputy Leader of the populist Alternative for Germany (AfD) Party, was attacked over the weekend when a young political opponent smeared dog excrement on her stomach in front of a large audience. The incident occurred after von Storch gave a lecture in the town of Daun in the Rheinland-Palatinate on Friday evening. The attacker pretended to want a photograph with the politician before he reached into his pocket with his bare hand and smeared the excrement on her. He was quickly apprehended by the German police and is now under investigation for insult and attempted bodily injury.
Addressing the incident on X (formerly Twitter) von Storch said, “We fight with arguments, those who hate the AfD fight with feces, we oppose their hate with persuasion and the love of our country. The love has always been stronger than the hate.”
Von Storch held another event on Saturday in Hesse, which almost ended disastrously after a man tried to smuggle three knives into the discussion but was caught by the event’s security.
This was the second time in recent weeks that an AfD politician was attacked following the vicious beating of the Romanian-born chairman of the party’s Augsburg branch, Andreas Jurca, who was called a “f***ing Nazi,” and suffered two black eyes, scratches, multiple bruises, and was unable to walk without crutches.
The political rhetoric against the AfD is becoming increasingly extreme as the party continues to surge in the national polls. The German establishment is considering a ban on the party as a result.

Pope Francis has called American Catholic Conservatives ‘backward,’ suggesting they have replaced faith with ideology and that the correct interpretation of Catholicism and Christian doctrine is to allow for change over time.
The pontiff made the remarks earlier this month during a private meeting with Portuguese members of his Jesuit religious order in Lisbon. The comments were released on Monday after being vetted by the Vatican’s secretariat of state.
He further suggested that the U.S. Catholic church has a “very strong, organized, reactionary attitude” after he himself has faced increased criticism for his overemphasis on political issues, including his support for the green agenda, vaccines, and left-wing economics.
“I want to remind these people that backwardness is useless, and they must understand that there’s a correct evolution in the understanding of questions of faith and morals,” he added.
The Pope has made increasingly bizarre comments in recent weeks. Last week, he urged a gathering of young Russian Catholics to follow in the path of the country’s expansionist monarchs such as Peter the Great – whom President Putin idolizes –and Catherine the Great, referring to them as having ruled over a “great, enlightened empire of great culture and great humanity.”

Ron DeSantis’ super PAC ‘Never Back Down‘ has poured over $12.3 million into a new advertisement campaign in a desperate attempt to reinvigorate the Florida Governor’s 2024 Republican presidential nominee campaign.
The vast majority of the funds was allocated to the state of Iowa, in which the Florida Governor trails former President Donald Trump by over 20 points. Around $11.4 million has been spent targeting media markets in the state, with the rest used for a national buy on the already DeSantis-sympathizing Fox News, according to AdImpact data.
The ads are due to start on September 6 and are expected to run through until Halloween.
Never Back Down’s total spend is up to $31 million, outspending Donald Trump’s super PAC, MAGA Inc, by nearly $10 million. Only Tim Scott’s TIM PAC has spent more at $37 million.
However, Never Back Down has announced its intention to increase ad spending to as much as $25 million in Iowa and New Hampshire, where DeSantis is polling fourth behind the 45th President, Vivek Ramaswamy, and Chris Christie. The campaign will include TV bookings, digital and direct advertisement – such as mailers and text messages – and will shift focus onto the Governor of Florida’s “personal qualities” and his wife, Jill “Casey” DeSantis.
Despite the staggering financial commitments the super PAC has made to DeSantis, rumors abounded last month that it may look to abandon the Florida Governor due to his crumbling numbers and support.

Donald Trump raised over $7.1 million since the release of his mugshot on Thursday, with over $20 million raised in the past three weeks. The latest haul comes amidst sales of mugshot merchandise, including the already infamous photo of the 45th President and the words ‘NEVER SURRENDER,’ including shirts, posters, bumper stickers, mugs, and even drinks coolers.
Trump’s presidential campaign raised $4.18 million last Friday alone, representing a record for the highest 24-hour fundraising effort in his campaign to date.
The merchandise, costing anywhere between $12 to $34, forms part of Trump’s dominance over small-dollar donations as his 2024 presidential campaign has been overwhelmingly reliant upon grassroots support.
Last month, the former President’s small-dollar donations made up a whopping 81.8 percent of all his campaign finances – far ahead of second-place Vivek Ramaswamy with 57.5 percent, and Ron DeSantis who counts less than 20 percent of his campaign funds as coming from small dollar donors.
By the end of the 2016 primaries, Ted Cruz, Trump’s top opponent at the time, had spent $163M. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is expected to spend at least $200M in his attempt to defeat the man who got him elected.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has fallen behind both Chris Christie and Vivek Ramaswamy in the early GOP battleground state of New Hampshire, dropping to just 9 percent of the vote as former President Donald Trump continues to dominate the field.
A poll by Echelon Insights, quizzing 800 likely Republican Primary Voters, puts Chris Christie in second at 14 percent. Previously little-known Ohio businessman Vivek Ramaswamy is also in double digits at 11 percent – putting him in third place. Senator Tim Scott (R-S.C.) is polling at 7 percent, just two points behind the Florida Governor.
Donald Trump stands at 34 percent in the Granite State.
Interestingly, New Hampshire voters listed “political corruption” as their number one issue, with the cost of living in second, jobs and the economy in third, immigration in fourth, and national security fifth.
The DeSantis campaign continues to slump in both state and national polling while bleedingcash – despite multipleattempts to reboot the campaign. Seemingly unable to gain traction in the polls or raise campaign cash, DeSantis have increasingly become reliant on support from the Never Back Down SuperPAC which The National Pulse has exposed for being a hive of Never Trumpers and actual Democrats. The Echelon Insights poll is just the latest to show DeSantis being overtaken by Ramaswamy.
