Former South Carolina Republican Governor and 2024 GOP presidential hopeful Nikki Haley was called out by CNN host Jake Tapper after she tried to blame President Joe Biden for the chaos currently enveloping House Republicans as they grapple with the election of a new leader following the ouster of now-former Speaker Kevin McCarthy.

Tapper pointed out that the GOP has been unable to unite behind a single candidate, citing a statement from one Republican who said the disorder is making them "look like a bunch of idiots."


Haley was about to attribute the "chaos within" the House GOP to Biden's leadership when Tapper cut her off with the following words:

"You can’t blame that on Biden. You can’t blame this on Biden.”

A miffed Haley responded:

“Well, you have to let me finish... You can’t fix Democrat chaos with Republican chaos” and said that Republicans “need to get it together. They need to get in a room and figure out who this is going to be and come out unified."
“That’s what Republicans need to do. This is not a good look. This is not good for our country."
"We saw what happened to Israel when they were distracted.”

You can see their exchange in the video below.

Many felt Haley's quickness to blame Biden hurt her credibility and criticized her for it.



McCarthy's ouster makes him the first Speaker of the House of Representatives to ever be removed from the role during a legislative session.

Though many within the House GOP have expressed their support for Ohio Representative Jim Jordan's bid for the speakership, he continues to confront significant opposition. CBS News reports that sources familiar with the deliberations, including six key House Republicans, indicate that at least 10 to 20 Republican members oppose his nomination.

While Jordan's supporters maintain optimism that he can secure the necessary 217 votes when the House is set to hold the vote on Tuesday, his backing remains somewhat tenuous.

Some critical members cite their concerns over how Louisiana Representative Steve Scalise was treated during his own speaker bid. And while the pro-McCarthy camp has also expressed its misgivings, many have questioned Jordan's ability to lead the House amid multiple challenges, including averting a potential government shutdown next month.

Susan Collins Dragged After GOP PAC Boosts Her Campaign In The Wrong Portland

On July 4, 1786, the city of Portland, Maine, was officially founded with its newly-minted name. Almost 60 years later in 1845, Maineiac Francis Pettygrove won a coin toss against Asa Lovejoy and named their soon-to-be incorporated city in Oregon Portland after the largest city in his home state of Maine.

Since then, Portland, Oregon, has swelled to a city of approximately 675,000 people while its namesake boasts a population of just 70,000. In 2026, when people hear Portland, they think of Oregon instead of the original city in Maine.

CNN Just Visited A Struggling MAGA Store—And It Spells Bad News For Trump

CNN correspondent Elle Reeve returned to Whitey Taylor's Trump Town USA in Boones Mill, Virginia, for the first time since visiting in 2023, and her segment shows that business for the Donald Trump-themed shop has collapsed as more MAGA followers break away from the president.

Reeve, in a segment for Anderson Cooper 360, reported that "things aren't what they used to be" for the store. She spoke with Taylor, who revealed that the store, which used to make $12,000 to $15,000 in sales per day now only makes between $1,500 - $2,000 per day. On occasion, Taylor will hit $3,000 in sales if he's lucky.

JD Vance Blasted After Sharing His Absolutely Mind-Numbing Definition Of 'Socialism'

According to Merriam-Webster, socialism broadly refers to economic and political systems centered on collective or government ownership and control of the means of production.

Not exactly a concept requiring a Ph.D. to explain. One would think Vice President JD Vance, a Yale Law School graduate whose party practically uses the word as punctuation, could manage a working definition.
