Summary

Today’s Headlines: On the Coup Beat, Mitch McConnell endorses Donald Trump following Nikki Haley's withdrawal from the Republican primary. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court gears up to decide whether Trump is immune from criminal prosecution due to his actions as former president, sparking debates on the limits of executive power. In other news, the Republican National Committee grapples with the idea of covering Trump's legal bills, while Elon Musk's refusal to donate to Trump's campaign adds a twist to the fundraising saga.
