President Joe Biden, though absent from the New Hampshire primary ballot, could still earn votes if enough voters write him in. President Joe Biden will not be on the ballot in New Hampshire, the first primary election of the 2024 cycle, but Democrats from the state say there is a path forward -- though a challenging one -- for the president to clinch their contest. Individual Democrats from the Granite State, without the help of their national or state parties, are organizing write-in efforts to get those around the state to still cast votes for the Democratic incumbent. But they're doing so begrudgingly. After months of refusing to come into compliance with Democratic National Committee calendar guidelines, Biden's campaign wrote in a letter to New Hampshire Democrats earlier this week informing them that the president would not be filing in their primary, marking another blow to the state's standing within the early nominating process. In this Dec. 9, 2019, file photo,...

Newly elected Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., played a key but somewhat under-the-radar role in trying to reverse President Joe Biden's 2020 victory. Newly elected House Speaker Mike Johnson is drawing fresh scrutiny for having played a key -- if somewhat lower-profile -- role in trying to overturn President Joe Biden's 2020 election victory. House Republicans unanimously chose him this week despite his record as an election denier, something some GOP lawmakers previously had said would be disqualifying. Back in 2020, Johnson, a Louisiana Republican, had argued Biden's win was bogus because some states officials had changed voting procedures during the coronavirus pandemic without legislatures' approval. He appeared to pressure 125 House Republicans to join him in filing a brief to the Supreme Court supporting a Texas lawsuit to overturn Biden's wins in Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. He told them Donald Trump was watching. He touted his conversation...

Johnson is a deeply evangelical Christian and has proudly shared his religious beliefs throughout his political career. Newly elected House Speaker Mike Johnson is in his fourth term in Congress, yet many might just be learning about his strongly-held religious views and their influence on his politics. The Louisiana Republican and constitutional lawyer is a deeply evangelical Christian who has proudly spoken about his religious beliefs throughout his political career. But his new role as speaker and being second-in-line in presidential succession has cast new light on how those beliefs may color his positions on high-profile culture war issues such as abortion and gay rights. Johnson -- a supporter of former President Donald Trump and a 2020 election denier -- told a Baptist newspaper when he was running for Congress in 2016, "I'm a committed Christian and my faith informs everything I do." In an interview that aired Thursday night on Fox News, Johnson told host Sean Han...

As the 2024 primary season rapidly approaches, powerful Republican donors have been gathering across the country. As the 2024 primary season rapidly approaches, influential Republican donors have been gathering across the country, putting their heads together to determine how to move forward as front-runner Donald Trump continues to hold a huge polling lead over the rest of the candidates. But several anti-Trump donors and those familiar with the GOP fundraising world told ABC News they are feeling as fractured as ever between their personal favorites to take on the former president. And some of these same donors are also becoming increasingly alarmed that the 2024 field is showing no signs of consolidation behind an alternative to Trump. "Nothing seems to work," said Francis Rooney, a former representative from Florida, U.S. ambassador in the Bush administration and fundraiser for past presidential candidates Mitt Romney and Jeb Bush. Rooney is an outspoken Trump critic ...

Newly elected House Speaker Mike Johnson had a "productive meeting" with President Joe Biden on Thursday, Johnson told reporters afterward. Newly elected House Speaker Mike Johnson had a "productive meeting" with President Joe Biden on Thursday, Johnson told reporters afterward. Johnson, a Louisiana lawmaker elevated to his role just one day ago, headed to the White House for a briefing "on the need for [Biden's] national security supplemental request," a White House official said, referring to a sweeping, approximately $105 billion package the president sent to Congress last seeking some $60 billion in Military assistance for Ukraine and $14 billion for Israel amid their respective wars. Johnson was joined at the meeting by House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, who called it "candid" but added that "no decisions have been made." The new speaker previously voted against Ukraine aid alongside some other House Republicans who argue...
