President Trump endorsed Steve Hilton in the California gubernatorial election. “I have known and respected Steve Hilton, who is running for Governor of California, for many years. He is a truly fine man, one who has watched as this once great State has gone to H***. Gavin Newscum and the Democrats have done an absolutely horrendous job,” Trump said. “People are fleeing, crime is increasing, and Taxes are the highest of any State in the Country, maybe the World. Steve can turn it around, before it is too late, and, as President, I will help him to do so! With Federal help, and a Great Governor, like Steve Hilton, California can be better than ever before! Steve Hilton has my COMPLETE & TOTAL ENDORSEMENT. He will be a GREAT Governor and, importantly, WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN!!!” he continued. Full post below: Fox News has more: Hilton, a Republican, is running in a crowded jungle primary that includes candidates from both sides of the political aisle. The top two candidates in the June 2, 2026, primary will advance to the general election. Some of the Democratic candidates seeking the governorship include Biden-era Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becera, Rep. Eric Swalwell and former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa. Trump’s full-throated endorsement of Hilton may hurt Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco, who is one of the other Republicans running for the role. Hilton and Bianco had been the top two contenders in some public opinion polls, giving Republicans hope that no Democrat would finish in the primary’s top two positions. That scenario may be less likely now, as Hilton’s support is likely to rise and Bianco’s drop in light of the president’s endorsement. “Trump kills any GOP hopes of an R vs R runoff in the California governor’s race,” California Target Book Research Director Rob Pyers commented. “(unless he dual-endorses and we get a Chad Bianco Truth post shortly),” Pyers added. (unless he dual-endorses and we get a Chad Bianco Truth post shortly) — Rob Pyers (@rpyers) April 6, 2026 “Trump’s endorsement of Steve Hilton likely frees up tens of millions of dollars for Democratic groups who would have otherwise had to spend heavily to elevate one of the two leading GOP gubernatorial candidates to avoid a Democratic lockout,” Pyers said. “While the odds were slim, California’s base GOP vote generally falls between 35-40% despite its 25% registration share (45% Dem, 23% Independent), leaving 60-65% available for the standing room only Democratic field and giving Rs an outside shot had support remained evenly divided between Bianco and Hilton,” he continued.

A party nod had looked unlikely given the large margin needed for an endorsement and the several low-polling candidates poised to peel off votes from party activists. But Trump’s involvement could change that calculation. Still, in a state where Democrats vastly outnumber Republicans and Trump is widely loathed, Hilton had sought to avoid nationalizing the election. “The media obsession and the California Democrats’ obsession with Trump doesn’t do our state any favors. We have to focus on California issues, and that’s what I’m doing,” Hilton said late last week. He said he did “not at all” see an electoral risk in Trump wading in before the primary. He and Bianco have both been lacing into each other in an effort to consolidate the Republican vote — including during a Saturday night debate moderated by Trump’s former Kennedy Center head and special envoy Richard Grenell.

Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) said in an interview on Sunday that he’s considering launching a bid for the 2028 Democratic presidential nomination. “Obviously, like any other elected official, especially ones that won red states in 2024, we have to look at it,” Gallego told NBC News. Gallego attended the Hispanic American Construction Industry Association’s annual dinner in Chicago, which had a mostly Latino audience. Around 900 people attended the dinner, NBC News noted. “Let’s be clear about one thing, and let’s not let anybody forget, especially in this environment right now: Latinos are patriots,” Gallego said at the event, according to the outlet. “We have loved this country, even if this country does not fully love us,” he added. Sen. Ruben Gallego considers a 2028 presidential run: 'We have to look at it' https://t.co/1FSj6pUSIV pic.twitter.com/j58gREiIOO — Meet the Press (@MeetThePress) April 6, 2026 NBC News shared further: Just one year into his Senate tenure after a bitter 2024 campaign against Republican Kari Lake, Gallego, 46, a father of three, said there are several considerations he must still make as he weighs a potential presidential bid. Chief among them was getting approval from his family and determining whether he could take on a national campaign and still be a present father. “I have three kids — for now. We’re a young family. We might want to have more,” Gallego said. “I have to look at it to make sure that I’m actually going to be good at it.” He said he also has to consider that “if someone else can win this, then there’s no reason for me to be egotistical about this.” “Lastly, I feel like it has to be an extension of my service to the country,” Gallego continued. “Because it’s not easy. It’s not easy to be away from your family. It’s not easy having to sacrifice normal everyday stuff like not being able to be with your kids.” Gallego spoke of how his father, who is Mexican, was abusive and eventually left the family. His mother, who is Colombian, raised him and his sisters. He said it was important for him to not be an absent dad after growing up without a dad in the house. Gallego spent his early years on Chicago’s South Side, in the Gage Park neighborhood, then moved to the village of Evergreen Park when he was in 7th grade. “No matter who runs, even if it’s not me, the candidate that wins in 2028 is going to have to get the Latino vote back to at least 62%. That is the ‘Pass Go’ line, collect $200 on the Monopoly board. We didn’t hit that in 2024 and that’s why we find ourselves in this situation,” the Democratic senator said in the interview. According to POLITICO correspondent Adam Wren, Gallego will be “among the group of potential 2028 Democratic presidential candidates who will sit with Rev. Al Sharpton at the National Action Network’s 35th Anniversary Convention on Thursday.” Scoop in @playbookdc: @RubenGallego will be among the group of potential 2028 Democratic presidential candidates who will sit with Rev.

His ability to capture a voting bloc inside of a red state carried by President Trump in the last election has sparked some discussion about Gallego contending for the 2028 Democratic presidential nomination. A major focus for the senator remains the inclusion of Latin American voters as an ideal base for party success amid increased immigration and deportation operations. “If you talk to working-class Latinos, we’re very, unfortunately, we have too much experience with immigration. We know there needs to be an immigration force that deports bad people. We want bad people out. We want bad people stopped from getting in illegally,” Gallego said during the NBC interview. “We do need to reform it. We need to right-size it. We need to pen it in to make sure that it’s not being abusive. But this idea that there’s not going to be an immigration enforcement mechanism in this country is ridiculous, because that’s never going to happen,” he added. Amid the ongoing war in Iran, Gallego said he disagrees with backing Israel’s offensive strike campaign and their attacks on Lebanon but supports giving them resources for defense.

This is tragic. A mother, a 10-month-old baby, and a 16-year-old were killed on Easter Sunday while doing an Easter Egg hunt in a wooded forest. The incident occurred in Germany in the town of Satrupholm. Here was the scene: Easter egg hunt tragedy leaves young mother, her baby and teenager dead https://t.co/MSMobOZhwe pic.twitter.com/5OrIbKNAUJ — New York Post (@nypost) April 6, 2026 Fox News had the full details on the tragic incident and what led to their tragic deaths: Three people were killed, including a 10-month-old girl, after high winds toppled a tree in Germany during an Easter egg hunt on Sunday morning, according to authorities. Around 50 people from a nearby residential facility for new mothers, pregnant women and children were attending the egg hunt in a wooded area near the town of Satrupholm at about 11 a.m. when a 100-foot tree fell on top of them, police said in a statement. Four people became pinned under the tree, police said. First responders arrived at the scene and first began treating a 21-year-old woman and a 16-year-old girl, but both died at the scene. The woman’s 10-month-old daughter also later died at the hospital. An 18-year-old woman sustained serious injuries and was rushed to the hospital in a helicopter. The residential facility is part of the state-funded child welfare system, supporting pregnant women and new mothers who need help, according to its website.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio is a great orator when it comes to sharing the gospel.

Despite being out of Congress for several months after resigning, former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has continued to share her discontent with President Trump. MTG in a post on X criticized President Trump for threatening Iran in a profanity-laced post on Truth Social. As the WLT Report previously covered, Trump stated in a post directed towards Iran, “Open the F*ckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards.” He concluded by writing, “Praise be Allah.” MTG, in response, called out Trump for his post and claimed it was distasteful to write it on Easter. The Hill reported more on MTG’s response: Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) on Sunday slammed President Trump’s message to Iran earlier in the day, saying he is “insane” and “not a Christian.” Early Sunday morning, Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform, “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran.” “There will be nothing like it!!! Open the F—in’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell – JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah.” Less than two hours later, Greene posted a screenshot of his post to the social platform X and wrote, “On Easter morning, this is what President Trump posted.” “Everyone in his administration that claims to be a Christian needs to fall on their knees and beg forgiveness from God and stop worshipping the President and intervene in Trump’s madness,” she continued. “I know all of you and him and he has gone insane, and all of you are complicit.” Trump Briefed On U.S. F-15 Jet Shot Down By Iran, First Known Instance Since Beginning Of War Trump has threatened the Iranian government against continuing to restrict shipping through the Strait of Hormuz amid ongoing U.S. and Israeli strikes on the Middle Eastern country. On Saturday morning, he wrote on Truth Social that Iran had 48 hours to open the passageway “before all Hell will reign down on them.” Iran’s restrictions on shipping in the strait, through which roughly one-fifth of the world’s oil passes, have led to global energy prices rising — including at the gas pump in the U.S. Take a look: On Easter morning, this is what President Trump posted.

Everyone in his administration that claims to be a Christian needs to fall on their knees and beg forgiveness from God and stop worshipping the President and intervene in Trump’s madness. I know all of you and him and he has gone insane, and all of you are complicit. I’m not defending Iran but let’s be honest about all of this. The Strait is closed because the US and Israel started the unprovoked war against Iran based on the same nuclear lies they’ve been telling for decades, that any moment Iran would develop a nuclear weapon. You know who has nuclear weapons? Israel. They are more than capable of defending themselves without the US having to fight their wars, kill innocent people and children, and pay for it. Trump threatening to bomb power plants and bridges hurts the Iranian people, the very people Trump claimed he was freeing. On Easter, of all days, we as Christians should be reminded that the son of God died and rose from the grave so that we can be forgiven once and for all of our sins. Jesus commanded us to love one another and forgive one another. Even our enemies. Our President is not a Christian and his words and actions should not be supported by Christians. Christians in the administration should be pursuing peace. Urging the President to make peace. Not escalating war that is hurting people. This NOT what we promised the American people when they overwhelmingly voted in 2024, I know, I was there more than most. This is not making America great again, this is evil. Do you agree with MTG? What’s your view?
