Ron DeSantis has a chance in Iowa, what might happen at the next GOP debate, Trump not getting booted from state ballots, President Joe Biden mixing up Taylor Swift, Beyonce, and Britney Spears in a failed joke attempt during the turkey pardoning today, Donna Brazile mispronouncing Vivek Ramaswamy’s name and saying he needs to “go home,” the cries of racism when Kamala Harris' name was mispronounced by some on the right, the latest chapter in the Candace Owens vs. Ben Shapiro saga, Megyn calling out a store clerk demanding an email address instead of just printing a receipt, and more.
