Biden roasts Trump ‘plague’ at White House Correspondents Dinner
Donald Trump’s preferred candidate JD Vance will be the next Republican nominee for the US Senate from Ohio as he registered a victory in the primary election there.
Mr Vance captured close to 32 per cent of the vote with 67 per cent of the results counted by 9.30pm ET on Tuesday, when the Associated Press called the race.
Mr Vance’s victory represents a show of the power the former president’s endorsement still holds within the GOP.
Meanwhile, Mr Trump has settled a long-running lawsuit brought by the DC attorney general over the financing of his 2017 inauguration, specifically focused on the Trump International Hotel on Pennsylvania Avenue.
In a statement, Mr Trump claimed to be settling the case “with absolutely no admission of liability or guilt” and couched the news in the context of violent crime, essentially saying he was giving the capital’s law enforcement agencies a break. The settlement reportedly totals some $750,000.
