With three years until the 2028 US presidential election’s final sprint, Vice President JD Vance remains the clear frontrunner to become the 48th President of the United States.

Per Oddschecker, the current betting odds for 48th President of the United States are as follows.

JD Vance +225

Gavin Newsom +350

Donald Trump Sr. +700

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez +1000

Pete Buttigieg +1200

Marco Rubio +1200

Kamala Harris +1600

Donald Trump Jr. +1600

In August 2025, Vice President JD Vance granted an exclusive interview with The Gateway Pundit to discuss the historic achievements of President Trump’s second term, the Trump administration’s daily battle against censorship, and its plans to fight crime across all levels of society.

Today, Vice President Vance enjoys a high favorability rating in the Republican Party and maintains a close relationship with the Trump family; on multiple occassions, President Trump has named Vice President Vance as his potential successor.

On the Democrat side, California’s term-limited governor Gavin Newsom leads the field in presidential betting odds.

Still, Real Clear Politics polling average places Newsom in a near three-way tie with “Cackling Kamala” Harris and “Mayor Pete” Buttigieg for president.

As of August, Governor Newsom’s press office has begun employing the unusual strategy of imitating President Trump’s social media vibrato dozens of times per week across digital platforms.

Voters have received no indication of whether Newsom may find his own voice, though he seems to greatly enjoy imitating President Trump’s gravitas.

Notably, President Trump himself enjoys more favorable betting odds to win the 2028 election than all but two candidates.

President Trump has stated that quips of “Trump 2028” are made mainly in jest. Still, his legacy could prevail under another candidate with President Trump’s backing.

For Democrats, far-left Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and corporate shill Pete Buttigieg enjoy relatively short odds to become the 48th President of the United States, despite demonstrating minimal capacity for critical thinking and problem-solving, respectively.

With equal betting odds to Ocasio-Cortez and Buttigieg, Secretary of State Marco Rubio has gained major popularity in the Republican Party during his historic tenure as Secretary of State, while simultaneously serving as National Security Advisor, USAID Administrator, and US Archivist.

Although Vice President Vance holds the advantage over Secretary Rubio in the presidential line of succession, “Vance-Rubio 2028” remains a very popular ideal ticket within the Republican Party.

For Democrats, even after passing on a run for California Governor in 2026, failed presidential candidate Kamala Harris has notably fallen to 4th place in her party’s betting odds—with odds more than twice as long as President Trump’s own.

Finally, Donald Trump Jr. holds the same odds as Kamala Harris to become the 48th President of the United States, despite repeatedly expressing his disinterest in the job. Trump Jr. maintains a very close friendship with Vice President Vance.

CBS News is at it again!

CBS on Sunday deceptively edited DHS Chief Kristi Noem’s comments on MS-13 gang member, wife beater and child predator, Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

A federal grand jury in Tennessee recently indicted Kilmar Abrego Garcia for “transporting undocumented migrants within the United States.”

He was charged with one count of conspiracy to transport aliens and one count of unlawful transportation of undocumented aliens.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia was ordered to be deported to the East African country of Uganda after a judge recently released him from a Tennessee prison.

However, a radical Obama-appointed judge blocked the US government from immediately deporting Abrego Garcia to Africa.

On Sunday, DHS Chief appeared on CBS’s Face the Nation to discuss the Trump Administration’s work to make the country safer by arresting and deporting dangerous criminal aliens like Abrego Garcia.

CBS cut off Kristi Noem as she was detailing Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s many crimes.

In the clip that aired, Noem said, “[And] the one thing that we will continue to do is make sure that [Abrego Garcia] does not walk free in the United States of America.”

In the unaired clip, Noem said, “This individual was a known human smuggler, MS-13 gang member, an individual who was a wife beater and someone who was so perverted that he solicited nude photos from minors and even his fellow human traffickers told him to knock it off. He was so sick in what he was doing and how he was treating small children. He needs to never be in the United States of America and our administration is making sure we’re doing all that we can to bring him to justice.”

In July, Paramount and CBS were forced to pay millions of dollars to President Trump and agreed to change their editorial policy in a settlement.

President Trump filed a $20 billion lawsuit against the network’s parent company, Paramount, for deceptively editing a ’60 Minutes’ interview with Kamala Harris.

Trump will be paid $16 million up front, according to Fox News.

Fake news 60 Minutes was caught editing Kamala’s answers to make her sound coherent and normal.

In fact it was so bad that ’60 Minutes’ spliced her nonsensical answer and replaced it with a completely separate sentence she said earlier in the interview.

Holy. Shit.

The post WATCH: CBS News Caught Deceptively Editing Kristi Noem’s Comments on MS-13 Gang Member Kilmar Abrego Garcia appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.

The Gateway Pundit first reported this weekend that Biden-appointed U.S. District Judge Sparkle Sooknanan blocked the deportation of more than 600 unaccompanied Guatemalan minors. 

The Trump administration had begun removal flights after advocacy groups sued, and the Biden judge quickly issued an emergency restraining order to stop them.

But there is a new and even more disturbing layer to the story. The government of Guatemala has now formally requested that these children be returned home. 

These minors are not “stateless,” nor are they abandoned. All have self-reported that their parents live in Guatemala, and the Guatemalan government is publicly asking for their reunification. 

Still, Democrats and their allies in the courts are refusing to let them go.

This is not a question of children being left without guardians. Guatemala has agreed to take responsibility. 

The reality is that these children were smuggled into the United States, often at the hands of cartels, and wound up stranded in federal custody. 

Now, instead of being sent back to their families, they are trapped in American shelters. 

Judge Sooknanan’s order blocks their deportation for at least two weeks, but advocacy groups are already seeking a class-action expansion that could tie up the issue for months or years.

It is hard to overstate how absurd this is. A sovereign government is requesting the return of its children. 

The United States had already arranged the flights to send them home. And yet, a Democrat-appointed judge is standing in the way, effectively forcing these minors to remain in limbo.

This problem is not limited to a few hundred children. Under the Biden administration, tens of thousands of minors have crossed the border unaccompanied, encouraged by lax enforcement and the dismantling of Trump-era policies like “Remain in Mexico.” 

Many of them have family in their home countries, but the U.S. system, overwhelmed and politicized, keeps them warehoused in taxpayer-funded custody instead of reuniting them with their parents. 

Worse, the Department of Health and Human Services has admitted it has lost contact with 85,000 minors placed with sponsors—a disaster of historic proportions.

Guatemala’s willingness to step in should have been welcomed as relief for a broken system. 

Instead, Biden’s judicial picks are making sure it doesn’t happen. 

Judge Sooknanan’s order, cheered by activist groups, forces hundreds of children to remain away from their families—all in the name of “due process” arguments that ignore the very real fact that these children already have homes to return to.

Shelters remain overcrowded, cartels profit from smuggling networks, and American taxpayers foot the bill for housing children who should never have been abandoned in the first place. 

More importantly, families in Guatemala are waiting for children who are being held against their will by the American court system.

The takeaway is simple: Democrats claim to champion “family reunification,” but their actions show otherwise. 

When a foreign government asks for its children back, when parents are ready to receive them, and when the U.S. has the planes fueled and waiting, Biden’s judges are still saying no.

Rep James Comer, the chairman of the House Oversight Committee was on “Sunday Morning Futures” with guest host Jackie De Angelis to discuss Joe Biden’s mental fitness while he was in office. The discussion also involved the weaponization of the Justice Department under the previous four years.

Earlier this year Comer launched an investigation into the Biden autopen scandal and health coverup.

Comer recently identified five Biden aides who were involved in the cover-up of Joe Biden’s mental decline and the autopen scandal.

So far several Biden aides have pleaded the Fifth Amendment and have refused to testify on Biden’s health scandal.

On Sunday, Comer said he will be calling in Biden spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre, Chief of Staff Jeff Zeints and Deputy Assistant Andrew Bates to testify on the autopen scandal.

“I want to get the latest on the investigation, Congressman, but also what we have heard so far, key figures taking the fifth. Key figures that day after day said that Biden was totally fit and ready to do the job now saying they really did not spend much time with him. The testimony does not add up with what we saw. Something is a wry here,” DeAngelis commented.

“We’re trying to get to the bottom of who was operating the autopen, and we have brought in a dozen people so far, and they are all pointing the finger at other people,” Comer said.

“The ones that I think may have a little more knowledge, they plead the 5th to avoid self-incrimination,” Comer said.

“It’s becoming very apparent that Joe Biden really wasn’t the one in command at the end of his Presidency and that’s important because you are talking about thousands of pardons and dozens of executive orders that were signed with that autopen,” Comer explained.

“Ten FBI whistleblowers, they warned of political weaponization, and they also say that they faced retaliation from the Biden administration,” DeAngelis said.

DeAngelis explained that the weaponization was not just against President Trump but affected numerous ordinary people who were just doing their jobs. Many lives were ruined as a result of the Biden DOJ weaponization of the previous four years.

“It also shows you that it’s not just the President who has faced this. It flows into all different levels and to everyday people that are just trying to serve and do their duties,” DeAngelis continued.

“The government is comprised of an overwhelming number of liberals and an overwhelming number of activists,” Comer said.

Rep Comer also explained that a lot of the people working inside the Federal government under Obama and Biden were more concerned about being activists instead of public servants.

“During the Obama and Biden years the government numbers swelled of liberal activists that came in,” Comer continued.

“They had an agenda. They weren’t necessarily public servants. The ones that rose to the top were activists and these activists tried to weaponize the Federal government in various forms,” Comer explained.

“Now we need accountability and I’m hopeful that Pam Bondi will take this evidence and her Department of Justice will start holding people accountable,” Comer continued.

California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) is holding Californians hostage by refusing to fully fund Proposition 36 – a measure that passed in a landslide in November 2024 that increases penalties for theft.

Proposition 36 passed in California in a landslide 71% to 21%.

California voters overwhelmingly voted to increase penalties for theft and drug trafficking after a record number of brick-and-mortar retailers closed down due to smash-and-grab robberies.

Governor Gavin Newsom (D) opposed Prop 36 because he said it’s “too harsh.”

Per LA Public Press, Prop 47 “scaled back punishments for certain nonviolent offenses for drugs and theft, which were reclassified from felonies to misdemeanors.”

Under Prop. 36, penalties will be increased, and sentences will be lengthened for drug possession and for the theft of items valued at less than $950.

Prop. 36 rolls back some of the soft-on-crime policies that California voters passed in 2014 with Prop. 47.

Newsom has only approved $100 million for prop 36 – far below the $400 million needed to fully pay for the new law.

Los Angeles District Attorney Nathan Hochman blasted Newsom for not funding prop 36.

“We will call [Newsom],” Los Angeles District Attorney Nathan Hochman said. “We will send him social media. We will DM him. I’ll say it right to the camera, Governor Newsom if you’re watching, get us this funding. If you want to save lives, get us this funding.”
