Trump's endorsement of vaccines aligns with most Republicans' views -- but it may be an uphill battle to convince the holdouts
CNN
Former President Donald Trump has recently been vocal about the benefits of vaccination against Covid-19 -- a position that's in line with the overwhelming majority of Americans who've chosen to get vaccinated, including the bulk of his own party.
But those statements may not be enough to persuade the largely Republican-leaning group of holdouts who haven't yet gotten a shot, some research suggests.
During an event in Dallas last Sunday, Trump confirmed that he had been vaccinated and had gotten a booster shot, attracting boos from some audience members. In an interview released Tuesday, Trump stated his opposition to vaccine mandates but again touted the shot's efficacy. "The vaccine worked," he told The Daily Wire's Candace Owens. "But some people aren't taking it. The ones that get very sick and go to the hospital are the ones that don't take the vaccine."

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.
