Trumps aides seemed to think I might understand their candidate because I was shaped by the same New York era. I grew up in Brooklyn in the 1980s and 1990s at the nexus of these two Black Americas, where ordinary folks and celebrities meet. When I was in my early twenties, I worked at Dooney & Bourke in Trump Tower, selling leather handbags to tourists. I knew Tyson as a global icon, but also as the local bigshot who ran in the same circles as my childhood friends older siblings.

And so a couple of weeks after I pitched the campaign an interview, I was in Wildwood, New Jersey talking to Taylor and his old Giants teammate Ottis OJ Anderson at a Trump rally. Taylors case for Trump was one Id heard from voters many, many times before.

Hes going to speak his mind, he told me. He doesnt care how it comes out.

He added, crucially: Hes a mans man.

Taylor, like all of the names I had been put in touch with, had a business relationship with Trump at some point as well as a social one. He recalled meeting Trump when he tried to poach him as part of a failed football venture that briefly competed with the NFL. He put a million dollars in my account and said, listen, he wants me to play and weve been friends ever since, he said.

At the time of that rally, Trump was still on trial in a Manhattan court over hush money payments to an adult film actress ahead of his first election; he faces three more pending criminal trials in state and federal courts. It was a problem his friends could relate to.

Taylor, who was plagued by off-field issues throughout his Hall-of-Fame playing career, pleaded guilty in 2011 to patronizing a 16-year-old prostitute. (He said he believed she was 19). Trump stood by Tyson in the 1990s while he was jailed on a rape charge that he denied (he also was hosting his fights, which required the boxer to be out of jail). In 2016, the then-chairman of the Republican National Committee, Reince Priebus reportedly intervened to keep King off the 2016 convention stage because of his prior manslaughter conviction.

The party could not associate itself with someone convicted of a felony, the New York Times noted at the time, which might as well have been a thousand years ago.

Strawberry came out the other side of drug addiction and jail to become an evangelical preacher. When I spoke to him, he mentioned that he and other sports stars know what its like to face the burning gaze of the public, something he connected to support for Trump.

People are hoping that he comes back, a lot of athletes, Strawberry said. A lot of times people are afraid to say theyre afraid of public opinion, and Ive had public opinion my whole lifethey were saying I couldnt survive, I couldnt make it. And guess what? Im still here.

Trumps gains with nonwhite voters in the polls have mostly come from younger Americans. When I mentioned to Trump during our interview that the people that Id been directed to talk to all seemed to be associated with a certain bygone period, he immediately thought to add another name to the list.

Did you give her Herschel? he asked his staff.

He was referring to Herschel Walker, the former football star who lost his Senate race last cycle while facing political attacks over allegations of past domestic abuse and previously unacknowledged children. A born-again Christian, Walker told voters at the time that he had moved past a dark period of mental illness and was reformed.

A few days later, I received a call from Walker, who adores Trump. He recalled how they became close in the 1980s, when he was also involved in Trumps football endeavors. Walker volunteered to take a young Don Jr. to Disney World with his own family while his team was at training camp in Orlando. The ease with which a white New York businessman befriended a Black kid who came from this little town with absolutely nothing, made a strong impression.

I know the man has got a great heart, he said.

Walker rejected the premise that Trump had a problem with Black voters he said he was sick of being asked to defend him as a Black man, as if supporting Trump required an extraordinary explanation. His advice to the campaign was to start showing up more often in Black neighborhoods and to treat voters the same as they would white voters.

What I told Don is I think you need to go see more Black people in the cities and talk to them, he said. I said, you know, they love you.

AMIEL: Hi. This is Amiel (ph).

PATRICK: And Patrick (ph) in Los Angeles, Calif.

AMIEL: We just finished 545 miles of cycling...

ASMA KHALID, HOST:

What?

AMIEL: ...From San Francisco...

DEIRDRE WALSH, BYLINE: Oh, my God.

AMIEL: ...To LA to raise money to help end AIDS.

PATRICK: It is...

KHALID: 12:06 p.m. Eastern Time on Friday, June 14, Flag Day.

AMIEL: By the time you hear this, we will have hung up our bikes and put on our dancing shoes.

AMIEL AND PATRICK: Happy Pride, y'all.

(SOUNDBITE OF THE BIG TOP ORCHESTRA'S "TEETER BOARD: FOLIES BERGERE (MARCH AND TWO-STEP)")

WALSH: Oh, my God. How do you have energy to dance?

KHALID: I was just going to say, I feel like my legs would be limp.

(LAUGHTER)

KHALID: Hey, there, it's the NPR POLITICS PODCAST. I'm Asma Khalid. I cover the White House.

FRANCO ORDOEZ, BYLINE: I'm Franco Ordoez. I cover the campaign.

WALSH: And I'm Deirdre Walsh. I cover Congress.

KHALID: And we begin our Friday roundup today with the news of Donald Trump's visit to Capitol Hill this week. It was his first trip there since the January 6 riot. And Deirdre, I want to begin with you because you cover Congress. Tell us a bit about what this visit was for. What was the purpose of it?

WALSH: Well, top Congressional Republicans said they invited Trump to talk about planning their agenda for 2025. Obviously, Republican leaders are hoping to retake control of the Senate, grow their majority in the House, and elect Trump and have this full control, if you will, of two branches of government to enact their agenda.

It didn't end up being a lot of policy talk. I think it was more of a political rallying event to put out this message that the Republican Party is unified around former President Trump, and they're headed into the elections, and they're all on the same page.

I think the image that sort of captures where the Republican Party is today is this picture of Mitch McConnell shaking hands with former President Trump. Remember, after the attack on the Capitol on January 6, McConnell basically said Trump was practically and morally responsible for the attack. He doesn't talk to him. He hasn't talked to him in almost four years. He did endorse him back in March, but he largely deflects questions about Trump regularly on Capitol Hill. But it is a image that speaks to where the Republican Party is today. It is Donald Trump's party.

ORDOEZ: I mean, let's just remember that, you know, since the primaries, Trump has been calling for Republicans to rally around him, and obviously, they were very reluctant to do that. So, you know, this meeting, this visit, was kind of vindication for Trump or a culmination of those efforts for months and months and months of saying that the party needs to unite and not only unite, but get behind him. And it was very clear yesterday that the party was behind him when you saw them in the room and you saw the strong applause, the huge smiles.

Many of the people in the room were very top likely VP candidates. And you have Mitch McConnell, who was, you know, the, you know, reluctant bride per se, saying, you know, look, he said he was going to support who the Republican voters support, and that's Donald Trump, and now you have the two of them coming together. And, I mean, this is what Trump's wanted for a long time, and now he's getting it.

KHALID: So what was Trump's message to his party yesterday?

WALSH: A lot of it was about party unity. I mean, he talked about how they're all on the same page, and they're moving forward to win in November.

(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)

DONALD TRUMP: There's tremendous unity in the Republican Party. We want to see borders. We want to see a strong military. We want to see money not wasted all over the world.

KHALID: And so it sounds like Republicans have this vision that Donald Trump will potentially retake the White House in November but also that Republicans will retake control of the Senate so that they can enact this broader agenda. How does the map look in terms of Republicans being able to retake control of the Senate?

WALSH: I mean, Republicans have a lot of opportunities. Remember, they only need to pick up a seat, and they can retake control of the Senate majority. So I think they're hoping to pick up Montana. They're looking at Ohio. Republicans think they can knock off Sherrod Brown, the Democrat there. And Nevada's another state where Republicans hope to knock off a Democrat. So the map is looking favorable for Republicans.

They also have an opportunity in Maryland, which is a blue state, but a very popular former Republican governor, Larry Hogan, is running in an open seat there. And Trump essentially endorsed him after this visit with Hill Republicans yesterday, which I don't necessarily think Larry Hogan welcomed.

KHALID: Yeah, I was going to ask you, Franco, what is Trump's role in trying to help Republicans retake control of the Senate?

ORDOEZ: I think he is trying to express the same kind of uniting message with Senate Republicans, with Republicans on Congress, that he wants them to return back to him. You know, Trump is Trump, and a lot of his goals are self-centered. And I think you can see that in this as well. If he helps Republicans get elected, that's why politicians give money to Senate Republicans, to House Republican races - is so that they can get help back. And I think that's what Trump is doing in this case, as well.

But obviously, Hogan and Trump have had such hard - you know, a hard relationship, a difficult relationship. I found it fascinating that Trump was saying this. And also, very interestingly and probably not surprisingly, Hogan, on the other hand, was still saying, I said before, I'm not going to support Trump, and I'm not going to do it this time either.

WALSH: And there were Republicans coming out of these meetings with Trump who were essentially saying that critics of Trump or critics of what happened on January 6 aren't really welcome in the party anymore. I mean, that is a marked departure from where this party was right after January 6. That was a moment where there were a lot of Republicans, including McConnell, openly criticizing Trump, but that window closed very quickly, and now the party is really fully behind him.

KHALID: All right, we will keep an eye on all of that. Deirdre, we're going to let you go, but please don't go too far away 'cause we're going to bring you back for Can't Let It Go.

WALSH: I'll be back.

KHALID: Let's take a quick break, and then we'll talk about a key demographic in this year's presidential election. That is older voters.

And we're back. And we're joined now by our colleague, Don Gonyea. Hey there, Don.

DON GONYEA, BYLINE: Hi there.

KHALID: And Don, I'm so grateful that you're with us because you just got back from a trip to Florida where you were reporting on older voters. And, you know, on this show, we've talked a lot about younger voters, also, of course, a key voting coalition in any presidential election cycle. Don, I want to be clear, we know definitionally what we mean when we talk about older voters. So what do you mean? What's the age demographic?

GONYEA: We were looking mostly at people 50-plus for this particular reporting trip.

ORDOEZ: I mean, this was a huge group for Trump, you know, particularly, like, the 65-plus group. I mean, Trump, according to some polls, won this group by seven percentage points in 2016. Biden did kind of narrow that gap. Four years later in 2020, Trump still won it. So it is really fascinating to watch kind of this evolution because there are a number of polls that show that Biden is now ahead.

And it has been an opportunity that they're seeing, as they've been herding with younger voters, this older generation has excited them. And that's why you're seeing, actually, this week, a big push from the Biden campaign. The first lady, Jill Biden, is traveling the country playing pickleball, going to bingo games, you know, sending a message and telling senior voters that they are important to the campaign.

KHALID: Older voters tend to turn out frequently in presidential elections. They have a big voter turnout, so I'm curious what you were hearing.

GONYEA: When I was talking to voters mostly in and around Pinellas County - which is St. Petersburg, Clearwater, over there on the Gulf side of the state - older voters were engaged. You never get an, oh, I'm not paying that much attention, or, oh, I'm not sure what I'm going to do. I mean, I did talk to people who are undecided. But again, they are very engaged.

They do talk about the things you would expect, protecting social security and Medicare. They talk about the economy. They also talk about what kind of world they feel like we're leaving for their kids and their grandkids. That's very much top of mind. I also heard people talk about character, and they were also pointing to former President Trump in that regard.

And I talked to a lot of people, especially older women, who raised reproductive rights and abortion as really important issues. This is a woman we met at a Democratic meeting in Pinellas County. Her name is Sandra Garish (ph). We asked what issues are important to her, and this is what she said.

SANDRA GARISH: The attack on women's rights is really frightening. So I'm a mother of three, and they're all in Pinellas County, and it's scary to have women's rights taken away.

GONYEA: And Florida has recently enacted six-week abortion ban that has been signed by the governor, and Garish said that alone is terrifying. She hearkens back to those early battles over abortion rights when she was very young, and she's kind of shocked that here we are in the middle of this fight again.

KHALID: Don, I'm curious what other issues you heard about from some of these older voters. What were their top priorities?

GONYEA: I talked to a gentleman named Louis Berwick. He is 81 years old. He was in the town of Dunedin, which is also in Pinellas County. You know, he retired from Worcester, Mass., so he brought some of those Massachusetts sensibilities down with him. He cited social security and protecting it. Again, no surprise there. But then he went in to Donald Trump's character. Give a listen to Mr. Berwick.

LOUIS BERWICK: It concerns me greatly because Trump seems to create a situation where bigoted people have a tendency to feel - I'm represented by Trump. Wow. And they can get away with being bigoted again. So it's kind of scary to me.

GONYEA: And then he went on to say that he's worried about how this is going to play down the road in generations to come.

BERWICK: If people who have that mentality are in control, it's going to be a disaster for my grandchildren and so forth. I mean, I'm 81. I don't know how many years I've got left, but I'm still hoping that I have at least 10 or - 10 years more or more.

KHALID: It's striking, Don, to hear the reference to grandchildren because I can't tell you the amount of times I heard Republicans talk about their fears with their grandchildren during the 2016 election.

GONYEA: That's right. And again, now, these were two voters who are clearly going to be supporting Joe Biden that we bumped into in Pinellas County. And again, Pinellas County is one of those boomerang counties. It supported Barack Obama. Then it supported, in 2016, Donald Trump. Then it supported Joe Biden last time. We don't know what it's going to do this time. We're just assuming it will be close.

But I met a gentleman named Angel Cruz (ph). He's 67 years old. He's a retired truck driver. He was playing with his grandkids in a park in the town of Largo. He is something you don't bump into a lot. He describes himself as a Republican, but he voted for Joe Biden in 2020. He says he's undecided this year but definitely leaning toward supporting Trump, and he says it is all about the economy.

ANGEL CRUZ: Everything is all expensive right now. The people, even with our - if they retire with a check with social security, they cannot afford to buy everything, you know. Before, it was not like this, you know? And it seems like everything's going up but nothing help out in the - on the payment, you know? Like, in the Social Security payment and all that.

GONYEA: You can hear the frustration in his voice. You can also hear his grandkids playing...

KHALID: Yeah.

GONYEA: ...Behind him there. But again, that is a Joe Biden 2020 vote that sure feels like it's going to be a Donald Trump vote in 2024.

KHALID: Franco, I want to ask you about what the Trump campaign is doing to court these kinds of voters because you said earlier that Trump had a greater percentage of their support in the past - certainly if we look at the 2016 election cycle. But the Biden campaign is actively trying to court senior voters. They're trying to chip away. And what is the Trump campaign doing?

ORDOEZ: I mean, the Trump message is, you know, speaking to those concerns that Angel just brought up about the economy and the feelings about the economy. Now, of course, we've talked endlessly about the data points that show the economy is doing okay, that it's doing well, particularly with unemployment levels. But the reality is still, a lot of people at least feel that the economy is hurting. They see their grocery bills rising, gas staying high. You know, people who may be on a fixed salary, fixed income - you know, those increased bills hurt a little more, have a little bit of a different impact.

You know, the Trump campaign is making a very clear point that Trump is the better person for the economy and the economic issues. He has also talked about prescription drugs and efforts like those. You know, Biden has as well. But I think the large message from Trump is economic and who is better for the economy and your investments.

KHALID: I want to ask you about the candidates' ages. Today is Donald Trump's birthday. He's turning 78. Joe Biden is 81 years old. Does that factor into how older voters are thinking about their choices?

GONYEA: The people I talked to this past week in and around Pinellas County - some of them said, oh, gee, wish we had some young blood in there, but nobody saw it as disqualifying. And nobody was ready to say, boy, Joe Biden should just hang it up. Donald Trump - just a couple of years behind him. What are these guys doing?

Again, maybe a little bit of frustration and a readiness to look to the next generation. But again, these people see this as their choices, and for the most part, people see it as a pretty clear choice, and they're going to make their decisions.

KHALID: All right. Don, thanks so much for joining us and bringing us all your fabulous reporting. Really appreciate it.

GONYEA: Thank you. Always a pleasure.

KHALID: All right. Let's take a quick break, and when we get back, it's time for Can't Let It Go.

And we're back. And Deirdre Walsh is back with us. Hey there.

WALSH: Hey, guys.

KHALID: So it is time now to end the week like we do always with Can't Let It Go. That is the part of the show where we talk about the things that we just cannot stop thinking about, politics or otherwise. And I think I'm going to kick it off today.

ORDOEZ: Do it.

WALSH: All right. So what I cannot let go of - and maybe you all knew this, but I feel ashamed to say I didn't know this 'cause I was a huge basketball player in my youth. And I realized this week I heard all these tributes to Jerry West, who was this Hall of Fame basketball player who passed away this week. And I did not know that it was purportedly his logo that is on, like, every basketball...

WALSH: I didn't know that either.

KHALID: ...Like, for the NBA logo. Apparently, the NBA has never actually admitted that this was him. But, you know, now there's all these debates about, like, how you can use someone's likeness with...

ORDOEZ: Yeah, yeah.

KHALID: ...Their permission or not.

ORDOEZ: Yeah, yeah.

KHALID: And so I just thought, you know, here we all were, giving tributes to Jerry West all the time, every time we pay ball, and we didn't even know 'cause I had no idea. I thought it was just a stencil of, like, a random character.

ORDOEZ: I mean, I think for a long time, people figured it was Jerry West. Jerry West even said he knew it was him, though it wasn't, like, officially declared, as you point out. But, I mean, I think a lot of people felt it was a tribute to him without, you know, acknowledging it directly.

KHALID: That kind of stinks, though, that he was, like, never actually acknowledged officially during his lifetime.

ORDOEZ: You know, I kind of agree. I do think that, you know, like, when Jerry West would talk about it or when he - the few times that he did, he said he didn't really like the attention, that he had gotten enough attention. He had a very, very humble kind of response to it, you know, kind of the response of an earlier era. You wouldn't expect necessarily to hear that today.

WALSH: I also didn't realize how much of his career spanned all these different events - the Olympics...

ORDOEZ: Yeah.

WALSH: ...His career in the NBA and then afterwards. It's just like, he's one of those figures that...

ORDOEZ: Huge.

WALSH: ...Obviously towers over the league.

ORDOEZ: Huge.

KHALID: All right, so here's to you, Jerry West. All right. What about you, Franco?

ORDOEZ: What I can't let it go - and I really think that a lot of people are not going to let it go. And I want credit for this when Pixar decides to turn this into a movie. But this story of the three-legged lion and his brother who crossed this crocodile-filled...

KHALID: Wait. There's a three-legged lion? Like, it's a real thing?

WALSH: I have not heard about this.

KHALID: I have not heard this, Franco. Tell us more.

WALSH: Is there video?

ORDOEZ: There is video from a drone. So I'm not writing a script here. I'm telling a true story...

Podcast: Trump on the Hill, older voters in Florida : The NPR Politics Podcast - NPR

WHEN DONALD TRUMP left office in January 2021 his political career seemed over. It was not just Democrats who thought so. We are very, very close to being able to ignore Trump most nights, wrote Tucker Carlson privately when he was still the host of Fox Newss most popular evening show. I truly cant wait. Mr Carlson did not get his wish. Our statistical forecast, which we launch this week, gives Mr Trump a two-in-three chance of winning in November. This is the same model, plus some refinements, that made Joe Biden a strong favourite to become president in 2020. Tested on election data from previous elections (with no knowledge of the outcome), the model gave Barack Obama about the same chance of winning in 2012 at this point in the race as it gives Mr Trump now. Like most pundits, it thought Hillary Clinton likelier to win in 2016a reminder that models, though they offer a rigorous way to think about the world, are not crystal balls.

A second Trump term: from unthinkable to probable - The Economist

Donald Trump has responded to a video showing President Joe Biden in an awkward forehead-touching moment with Pope Francis at a summit in Italy.

The ex-president alleged that Biden "freaked out" the pontiff by touching foreheads during their meet-and-greet session.

Donald Trump recently criticized Joe Biden Biden, urging him to take a cognitive test, and has pledged to end Biden's policies concerning cryptocurrency.

Trump came after Biden again, following the latter's viral video of him and Pope Francis at the Group of Seven Summit in Italy.

In the clip, Biden can be seen bowing to greet the pope, who was being driven in a wheelchair for a meet-and-greet session with world leaders.

The duo also had a short conversation and were seen smiling widely throughout the time it lasted. At one point, their foreheads briefly touched, though it is unclear if this was intentional.

Trump seemed to find the gesture quite out of place and suggested that POTUS made the pope very uncomfortable by being that close to him.

"Look at the PopeHe's freaking out! This can't be normal, can it?" Trump exclaimed in a post on his Truth Social platform, adding a picture of Biden and the Pope when their foreheads touched briefly.

The remark from Trump is the latest in a line of sharp criticisms between the billionaire mogul and Biden in an effort to undermine each other's campaigns.

He had previously criticized Biden's mental acuity at the Turning Point Action convention in Detroit on Saturday night.

While giving a speech during the campaign event, the billionaire mogul mockingly urged his successor to take a cognitive test designed to detect early signs of memory loss and other mild cognitive impairments.

"He doesn't even know what the word 'inflation' means," Trump said, per Newsweek, taking a swipe at Biden. "I think he should take a cognitive test like I did."

Trump took the test back in 2018 and was reportedly tasked with remembering a list of spoken words, listening to a list of random numbers and repeating them backward, and many more verbal tasks.

At the same moment that Trump asked Biden to take a cognitive test, he forgot the name of the doctor who gave him his, referring to him as Ronny Johnson instead of Ronny Jackson.

"Doc Ronny Johnson. Does everyone know Ronny Johnson, congressman from Texas? He was the White House doctor, and he said I was the healthiest president, he feels, in history, so I liked him very much indeed immediately," Trump said.

Unsurprisingly, his gaffe was quickly noted by critics, who slammed him for targeting Biden's mental acuity while he himself couldn't remember the doctor's name.

Biden-Harris HQ posted on X, "Trump: I think Biden should take a cognitive test. My doctor Ronny Johnson. Ronny Johnson, do you know him? (His name is Ronny Jackson)."

A social media user wrote, "Idiot is calling for Biden to take a cognitive test as he gets the name of his doctor wrong. You just can't make up this sh-t."

Last week, Trump and Biden's separate press conferences almost clashed as TV stations scrambled to make a decision on which one they would air.

Biden was in Italy for the G7 summit and was about to go live with Ukraine president Volodymyr Zelensky, just about the same time Trump was supposed to give a speech after meeting with GOP leaders.

The brewing clash in schedule made several stations adopt a split screen for both events, waiting on which one would go live first.

When Trump concluded his meeting, he addressed the crowd for less than five minutes but declined to answer questions from the media.

Taking note of what had happened, Biden's campaign team took to social media to mock Trump for his short "press conference."

The team wrote, "A feeble Trump ends his 'press conference' after less than 5 minutes and refuses to answer a single question."

After initially taking a negative stance on crypto during his presidency, Trump has reversed his position in recent months.

Late last month, he criticized Biden for his harsh stance on crypto, claiming that POTUS "wants it to die a slow and painful death" and that such a situation would never happen if he were the president.

More recently, he doubled down on his remark during a special address on his birthday, promising to end Biden's "war on crypto" if elected.

The former president said, "We will ensure that the future of crypto and the future of Bitcoin will be made in America; we're going to keep it right here, and a lot of it is going to be done right here in Florida."

Trump has also introduced crypto as a means of receiving campaign funds, allowing MAGA supporters to use cryptos associated with the Coinbase platform.

Donald Trump Trolls Joe Biden Over Head-Touching Moment With Pope Francis: 'This Can't Be Normal' - Yahoo! Voices

Former President Donald J. Trump, courting Black voters at a church on the west side of Detroit on Saturday, sought to harness animus toward migrants crossing the border, sanitized his track record on race and sold himself as the best president for Black Americans since Abraham Lincoln.

As he spoke to roughly 200 people, Mr. Trump largely ignored his history of racist statements and his decades of calls for tougher policing that have fueled his three presidential campaigns.

Instead, during short remarks before a panel with Black residents of Detroit at the citys 180 Church, Mr. Trump tried to cast Mr. Biden as anti-Black, focusing intently on the presidents role in shepherding the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, a sweeping bill that criminal justice experts have said laid the groundwork for mass incarceration that disproportionately hurt Americas Black communities.

Mr. Trump, at one point, seemed determined to ensure that Mr. Bidens role in the crime bill would be the events main takeaway. He falsely accused Mr. Biden of coining the term super predators and then insisted that those in the audience should not forget Mr. Bidens role, as a U.S. senator, in championing the bill and helping pass it.

He was the one with the super predators, Mr. Trump said of Mr. Biden. So just please remember that if youre going to vote Democrat because you shouldnt vote Democrat.
