Comedian Roy Wood Jr. joined CNN’s after-hours coverage of Donald Trump’s acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention and put his co-panelists in stitches. Trump gave what CNN said was the longest acceptance speech for a major party candidate in the modern era, clocking in at one hour and 32 minutes. In his address, Trump recalled the assassination attempt on his life in which a gunman shot him in the ear. The former president also slammed President Joe Biden, “crazy Nancy Pelosi,” and “witch hunts,” while repeatedly going off script in a meandering slog of a speech.

First Lady Jill Biden showed her love for her husband after he said Sunday that he was dropping out of the 2024 presidential race, quote-tweeting the letter he shared announcing the decision with a simple heart emoji. The understated reaction drew wry commentary from some observers. “Would have done anything to be in the meeting where they brainstormed what emoji reaction Jill Biden should post in response to her husband dropping out of the presidential race,” journalist Sophie Vershbow remarked on X. A minute after Dr. Biden’s emoji was posted, the president’s granddaughter, Naomi Biden, posted a lengthier statement to X, saying that she was “nothing but proud today” of Biden, “who has served our country with every bit of his soul and with unmatched distinction.” Hailing her grandfather as likely “the most effective and impactful public servant in our nation’s history,” Naomi added, “Our world is better today in so many ways thanks to him. To the Americans who have always had his back, keep the faith. He will always have ours.”💕 https://t.co/VN2rZpyhVX— Dr. Jill Biden (@DrBiden) July 21, 2024

Georgia’s Court of Appeals ruled Tuesday that it will hear oral arguments for Donald Trump’s appeal to disqualify Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis from his election interference case after the presidential election has already taken place. In a new order, the court scheduled the proceedings for December 5. As a result, the case likely will not resume until well into 2025, if at all. If Trump is reelected to the White House, the case against him would be postponed until his term ends in 2029—or possibly longer. Earlier this month, the court ordered a stay in Trump’s election interference...

The past week has seen an outpouring of hate from the far right over the wife of Republican vice presidential nominee J.D. Vance. The unremarkable fact that Vance is married to Usha Vance, a woman of Indian heritage, has become a fixation for white nationalists online. Following Monday’s announcement of Vance as Trump’s running mate, white nationalist “groyper” Nick Fuentes seemed to enter a meltdown on his broadcast, saying, “What kind of man marries somebody that isn’t a Christian? What kind of man marries somebody named Usha? Clearly, he doesn’t value his racial identity, his heritage. Clearly, he doesn’t value...

The South Carolina pastor whose wife fatally shot herself just days after filing for divorce says that he went to the morgue to resurrect her in a desperate act he claims was inspired by Jesus. 

“Yeah, I tried raising her from the dead because you know what? If it had worked, we’d have a whole different story,” John-Paul Miller tells NewsNation’s Rich McHugh in an interview airing on Friday. “God forbid me not try it and I always wondered the rest of my life ‘would it have worked?’ Jesus did it. Elisha did it. I had to try.”
