Trump's border czar Tom Homan and incoming head of the FBI signal that they will have no issues in stomping on states rights and gutting the FBI and using it to go after their perceived political enemies.

This week on Look Forward, Jay and Brad return to discuss Donald Trump’s "unconventional" campaign strategies for the 2024 election, including cosplaying as a McDonald’s employee, which is creating buzz among voters just not HIS voters, while Elon Musk faces both political controversy and legal scrutiny. The collaboration between Musk’s super PAC and Trump’s network has stirred Republican infighting, as some GOP insiders criticize the lack of coordination in handling Trump's ground game (aka door knocking) in the swing states. Meanwhile, Musk is under fire for potential election law violations tied to monetary giveaways aimed at increasing voter turnout, so he says. In other news, JD Vance’s absence from the Senate during his VP bid with Trump has sparked backlash over neglecting his Ohio constituents. Trump also celebrated Arnold Palmer’s legacy during a rally in Pennsylvania to connect with rural voters by speaking about the famous golfer's genitalia. As the 2024 election heats up, record-breaking early voter turnout in North Carolina and Pennsylvania underscores the critical role of battleground states that could shape the outcome. This video dives into these key stories shaping the political landscape.
