Donald and Ivana Trump were seated at opposite ends of their long Sheraton table in Mrs. “He had planned to stay quiet about it, but every time he sees Team Emmer attacking Banks in the press, it makes it more and more likely that he wages war in a very public manner.

To her credit, Ivana still served the dinners her husband preferred, so on that warm night the guests ate beef with potatoes. Banks donated $1,000 to Cheney—in 2016, mind you, but heresy nonetheless in the most MAGA circles. That delay also delayed his ruling, Silvera wrote. (Banks has since on behalf of Cheney’s primary rival Harriet Hageman, something Emmer didn’t even do before the primary.) And then there is a tweet, from Oct.

I wouldn't join that club, because they don't take blacks and Jews. “I voted for him in the past, but the stakes are different now. “Chairman Emmer is focused on retaking the majority and firing Nancy Pelosi,” Emmer’s press secretary, Theresa Braid, told The Daily Beast in a statement. And Banks’ official statement, through his spokesman Carlson, was that “Rep. Banks is working hard to win back the majority so Republicans can get to work cutting inflation, kickstarting our economy, reducing crime and securing the border."I am married to the most wonderful husband.” Pleasantries aside, the race could turn ugly quick. And handicapping the race before the election could be a fool’s errand. “Number one, it’s good to have another woman in there.
