It applied to have its status reinstated, per the party’s Florida chair, but there is no indication that has happened. Until it does, Kennedy is not on the Florida ballot,” ABC News writer Will McDuffie stated. The Reform Party lost its ballot access in Florida last year because it failed to comply with an audit.

On their party convention on May 23, 2024, the Reform Party nominated the Kennedy Jr./Shanahan ticket for president and vice president respectively. The Reform Party filed paperwork for re-qualification in May 2024, which would place Kennedy and Shanahan on the ballot in Florida,” Wikipedia stated. Per Ballot Access News: On August 1, the Florida Secretary of State revoked the qualified status of the Reform Party, for failure to file campaign finance reports. The Reform Party is now no longer qualified in any state. However, the Reform Party is free to re-file for qualified status in Florida.

President Joe Biden was slammed on social media on Thursday after he claimed that the blame for the ongoing border crisis falls on conservatives, whom he says have failed to pass “the toughest border enforcement in history.” Biden posted on X on Thursday evening, blaming former President Donald Trump and Republicans for rejecting legislation that partly addressed the border crisis. The president’s focus on illegal immigration comes just months before the 2024 election, and voters have suggested that illegal immigration will be the biggest issue determining how they cast their ballots. “Donald Trump and his MAGA Republican allies don’t care about securing the border or fixing America’s broken immigration system,” the president wrote. “If they did, they would have supported the toughest border enforcement in history. Instead, they put partisan politics ahead of our national security.” Donald Trump and his MAGA Republican allies don’t care about securing the border or fixing America’s broken immigration system. If they did, they would have supported the toughest border enforcement in history. Instead, they put partisan politics ahead of our national security. — Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) May 24, 2024 Republicans and political commentators were quick to point out on social media that Biden terminated Trump’s strict border policies and diverted funds away from building a wall along the southern border. Fox News reporter Bill Melugin said the president could even take executive action immediately to reinstate the Trump-era emergency declaration and address the illegal immigration crisis. “One executive action Biden could take is to reinstate the national emergency declaration at the border that he terminated immediately upon taking office & declared to be ‘unwarranted,'” Melugin wrote. “3 yrs later, Biden himself has said border isn’t secure, & his DHS Secretary admits a ‘crisis.’” Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) slammed Biden for the post and called the president a liar, writing, “On the very first day of your regime, you reversed President Trump’s policies that DID secure our border. Americans see right through your lies, Joe.” Rep. Anthony D’Esposito (R-NY) said that Biden was attempting to “rewrite the story.” “You reversed @realDonaldTrump’s policies, creating this disaster. The toughest border enforcement in history is HR2 – the legislation @HouseGOP sent to the Senate over a year ago. Don’t rewrite the story,” the congressman wrote. “This is the #BidenBorderCrisis. You. Don’t. Care.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Author James Lindsay simply posted, “Ol’ Baloney Joe.” After reversing Trump’s policies three years ago, Biden has pushed for Congress to address the border crisis, claiming he doesn’t have the constitutional power to take the necessary action on illegal immigration. House Republicans rejected a bill that was introduced in the Senate in February, with Republican leadership saying that the legislation “fails in every policy area needed to secure our border and would actually incentivize more illegal immigration.” Sen. Steve Daines (R-MT) added that he would not “support a bill that doesn’t secure the border, provides taxpayer funded lawyers to illegal immigrants and gives billions to radical open borders groups. I’m a no.” The Senate bill was also opposed by Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, who called it the “stupid bill.” Biden has criticized his Republican opponent for coming out against the bill, arguing that Trump is only doing so for political reasons ahead of the election. “The illegal Aliens that are pouring into our Country are taking over our cities and attacking our police,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social Post earlier this year. “They are forming gangs, and they are tough. Close the Border, you do not need a ridiculous Border Bill that will allow 5000 people into our Country a day. Call it the ‘Stupid Bill’ and make sure it doesn’t get passed. It will make things MUCH WORSE. CLOSE THE SOUTHERN BORDER, NO BILL NECESSARY!!!”

CNN reporter Kristen Holmes was on the ground at former President Donald Trump’s rally in the Bronx on Thursday and said the size of the crowd was stunning, considering Trump’s event was in “one of the bluest counties in the entire country.” Trump, who is still facing trial in Manhattan over his alleged hush-money payments to porn actress Stormy Daniels, attracted a massive crowd for his campaign rally in the South Bronx. During the rally, Trump was joined on stage at one point by rappers “Sheff G” and “Sleepy Hallow,” who both endorsed him, and some Bronx residents expressed their surprise that a presidential candidate would hold a rally in their neighborhood. While describing the rally to CNN host Anderson Cooper, Holmes said Trump had attracted “a bigger crowd than I think Democrats would like to see, particularly given this is one of the bluest counties in the entire country.” Holmes added that Trump’s event in the Bronx didn’t just pull in people from miles away who travel to the former president’s campaign rallies. “One of the things that was interesting to me is that the Trump campaign said that they were going to micro-target to get people from the community to come to this rally. I wasn’t sure what to expect, I’ve gone to a lot of these rallies across the country, and there are often people who travel hundreds of miles to see Donald Trump and they’re not necessarily part of the community. However, one of the things that I found was that there were a lot of people here that were actually from the Bronx,” Holmes reported. Even CNN is admitting President Trump’s rally in the Bronx was a massive success: “Certainly a bigger crowd than I think Democrats would like to see, particularly given this is one of the bluest counties in the entire country!” ? pic.twitter.com/XScfuQmnVa — Trump War Room (@TrumpWarRoom) May 24, 2024 One of the Democrats who could be concerned about the thousands of people gathering to hear Trump speak in the Bronx is Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), who previously slammed Trump for holding a rally in her backyard. Ocasio-Cortez said earlier on Thursday that Trump is only holding a rally in the South Bronx “because he’s got court.” “The man practically has the legal version of an ankle bracelet around him and he can’t leave the Five Boroughs because he always has to be in court,” she added. “And so it is truly an embarrassment to him.” Ocasio-Cortez also posted on X that “God is good” in response to reports of rain potentially hindering Trump’s rally.
