CNN
Former UN ambassador Nikki Haley excoriated President Joe Biden's handling of the withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan on Tuesday, becoming the latest potential 2024 contender to grace the stage at the Ronald Reagan Library as the GOP looks to chart its course after the defeat of former President Donald Trump.
Haley, who served as UN ambassador under Trump, barely mentioned him Tuesday night as she leaned into foreign affairs, charging that the US is engaged in "a clash of civilizations" and "the bad guys think the good guys lack the will to win."
She attacked Biden's leadership, saying, "America is in greater danger today than we were just three months ago" and that "Joe Biden thinks retreat is a sign of strength."

Janet Mills and her allies are counting on a gender gap to narrow Platner’s wide lead ahead of the June 9 primary to decide who will face incumbent Republican Sen. Susan Collins. They are betting that the unfiltered style that has brought Platner widespread attention as someone who could help Democrats reach young men will backfire with women.

As a shrinking number of Transportation Security Administration agents work to keep hourslong security lines moving despite not being paid, President Donald Trump stepped into the fray Saturday, announcing he will send Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers to airports by Monday if Congress doesn’t agree to a plan to end the partial government shutdown.
