Former Georgia Republican Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan said he would vote for President Joe Biden instead of former President Donald Trump in the 2024 election.

Duncan explained his decision in an op-ed he wrote for The Atlanta-Journal Constitution titled, “Geoff Duncan: Why I’m voting for Biden and other Republicans should, too.”

In his op-ed, he stated how it was “disappointing to watch an increasing number of Republicans fall in line behind former president Donald Trump,” including “some of his fiercest detractors.”

He mentioned detractors such as “U.S. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu and former U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr, who raised eyebrows during a recent interview by vowing to support the Republican ticket.”

“Yes, elections are a binary choice,” Duncan admitted. “Yes, serious questions linger about President Biden’s ability to serve until the age of 86. His progressive policies aren’t to conservatives’ liking.

2nd Update, 8:59 Pm: Approximately 10 hours after Max Azzarello set himself on fire across the street from Donald Trump’s criminal trial in Manhattan, the 37-year-old man has died.

Azzarello passed away about an hour ago from his burns and other wounds, law enforcement sources confirmed Friday night to Deadline.

The Florida resident’s “extreme act of protest” was a result of his theories of a not-so “secret kleptocracy” ruling America, as his website declared. Self-described “Independent researcher” Azzarello had been under care Burn Unit at Weill Cornell Medicine in NYC after self-immolationalizing just after 10:30 am Pt, the NYPD revealed on Friday afternoon.

Earlier, the horror of the incident today was captured live on CNN. The Warner Bros. Discovery-owned cable newser was broadcasting outside the courts where the former president’s hush money case was taking place when Azzarello poured an apparent liquid over himself and caught ablaze.

A man set himself on fire outside the courthouse where the jurors are being chosen for former president Donald Trump’s hush money criminal trial. CNN’s chief legal analyst Laura Coates and MSNBC national correspondent Yasmin Vossoughian both witnessed the self-immolation and spoke about the incident live on air.

“I just have to tell you, I have been a student of history for a long time. I cannot overstate the emotional response of watching a human being engulfed in flames and to watch his body be lifted on a gurney,” Coates said on air. “Here we are, knowing that we’re here to document history, but to know about what has just taken place — what an emotional and unbelievably disturbing moment here in Manhattan.”

An individual appears to have set himself on fire outside of the Manhattan courthouse the moment jury selection was finalized in the criminal hush money trial of former President Donald Trump.

The apparent self-immolation was carried live by several news networks, who initially believed a fire had broken out in the park, and quickly cut away after realizing someone was aflame. The incident took place in a park across the street from the court as news crews reported that the jury in Trump’s trial had been officially seated. The...

A man lighting himself on fire was captured on camera by CNN during the network’s live coverage of Donald Trump’s trial in New York City on Friday.

Though details are still emerging, the Associated Press reports that emergency crews rushed the individual away on a stretcher after extinguishing the blaze outside the court room where the jury had just been selected in Trump’s trial. It was a group effort to put out the fire, with multiple people seen rushing over to help contain it.

Jon Stewart’s weekly slot behind the Daily Show desk on Monday saw the host eviscerate Canadian mogul and Shark Tank judge Kevin O’Leary for comments he made indicating that Donald Trump and his company were unfairly targeted by New York state, which issued a punishing penalty against the former president in a civil fraud case.

Following the harsh judgment leveled by Judge Arthur Engoron in the case led by New York Attorney General Leticia James, Trump had been staring down a Monday deadline to raise enough cash to pay a $454 million bond. But on Monday, that figure was reduced at the eleventh hour by the state’s appellate court, and now Trump and his associates must fork over $175 million within 10 days of the ruling. Trump has said he will pay this amount, indicating in a Truth Social post that he has $500 million; if he does not pay the penalty,...

Jon Stewart unpacked Trump’s $454 million appeal bond on Monday night, calling out so-called experts framing his New York civil fraud case as a “victimless” crime.

Stewart then rolled a clip of CNN’s Laura Coates interviewing Shark Tank‘s Kevin O’Leary, who claimed...

Oscar winner Cate Blanchett is lending her voice to a Netflix nature docuseries highlighting species surviving amid the climate crisis.

Four-part Netflix series “Our Living World” hails from Freeborne Media and Wild Space productions, the Emmy-winning team behind “Our Great National Parks.” The series uses cinematic wildlife photography, macro close-ups, underwater tapestries, and digital effects to capture the tallest and oldest tree in the forest to the smallest egg in a salmon’s spawning pool and every organism in between. Cuttlefish, beavers, rhinos, crabs, dragonflies, flying foxes, and more are featured in nature action shots.

The official synopsis reads: “Spanning continents and oceans, fueled by wind and water and fire, this network allows the densest forests to impact the coldest glaciers, and the deepest oceans to feed the hottest deserts. But with Earth now changing at unprecedented speeds due to human activity, our living world’s network is malfunctioning – and it will take all creatures,...

The suspense this Super Tuesday may be in watching how all of the networks try to make the night suspenseful.

Some 16 states and one territory will vote: Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont and Virginia. A Democratic caucus also is being held in American Samoa, and Iowa Democrats also will reveal their results.

But with Joe Biden and Donald Trump on their way to a rematch in the 2024 presidential election, coverage Tuesday will focus on margins of victory, when each candidate will clinch their nomination and what’s next from now until Election Day. There also will be attention to down-ballot races, including California’s Senate primary to fill the seat long held by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-ca).

Cable news networks went all in on a Georgia proceeding today over whether Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis should be disqualified from the Donald Trump election interference case because she had a romantic relationship with special prosecutor Nathan Wade.

The wall-to-wall coverage saw Willis and Wade questioned on deeply personal details of their relationship, which attorneys for Trump and other defendants say is a conflict of interest.

Willis took the stand in the afternoon, and was defiant as she was questioned by attorney Ashleigh Merchant, who sought her financial records and other information about her relationship with Wade. Merchant is representing one of the co-defendants in the case.

“I object to you getting records,” Willis said to Merchant at one point. “You have been intrusive into people’s personal lives. You are confused. You think I am on trial. These people are on trial for trying to steal an...

A small contingent of journalists gathered near the Canadian border earlier this morning to watch as Dixville Notch, Nh, continued its tradition of casting the first ballots on an election day.

Nikki Haley cleaned Donald Trump’s clock in this hamlet — 6 votes to none.

Have you heard it’s cold in Des Moines? The subzero temperatures are making Monday’s caucuses in Iowa the coldest on record, a running theme of coverage throughout the day and into this evening. It’s not trivial, as the frigid weather may very well impact turnout.

As Iowa’s first votes of the 2024 presidential race come in, expect a lot of analysis, punditry and prediction, even if the results represent just a sliver of the primary electorate. The Hawkeye state’s primacy as the first-in-the-nation often obscures the peculiarities of the caucus system, unless there is some kind of glitch, which is what happened four years ago with the Democrats.

That said, networks see the caucuses as the kickoff of what is hoped a spike in viewer interest in the presidential contest, as was seen in 2020 and 2016. All of the broadcast networks are planning for ongoing coverage of...

On the latest episode of Real Time, Bill Maher remembered Norman Lear, who died earlier this month at age 101, as someone who “opened a lot of doors” in television.

The host is preparing to head into his 22nd year of doing the late-night talk show, which got him thinking. He explained how the sitcom genius’ death put things in perspective for him because “without somebody like that, I couldn’t do what I do.”

“I think he opened a lot of doors, but a lot of those doors are shut,” Maher added. “TV is not what it was in the ’70s.”

He proceeded to ask his guests, Laura Coates, a CNN anchor and senior legal analyst, and Walter Kirn, an American novelist and literary critic, if they thought people “could do anything like what he did back then because I don’t think you could?”

“Thinking about how he was...

On Real Time tonight Bill Maher paid tribute to the late, great Norman Lear, who passed away a week-and-a-half ago.

Maher emphasized, “I couldn’t do my show if it weren’t for what he did.”

The host went on to lament that, while Lear opened a lot of doors, “a lot of those doors have shut.”

He then said, “TV is not what it was in the ’70s.”

CNN’s Laura Coates, a guest on the show, replied, “Some of the most controversial shows…I don’t know that — as much as we’ve evolved as a society — we would have the ability to do those shows [now] without it ending up on the cutting room floor…Someone would be afraid that too many folks would clutch their pearls.”

Maher’s other guest, novelist Walter Kirn observed, “The great thing about that show is you never knew who the hero and the villain was.

Real Time With Bill Maher continues Friday, December 15 (10:00-11:00 p.m. Et/7:00-8:00 p.m. Pt).

Will Smith made a surprise appearance at the Enoch Pratt Free Library in Baltimore as part of Jada Pinkett Smith’s Worthy press tour, where he showed support for her and their marriage following the memoir revelation that the duo were separated in 2016.

Kevin McCarthy’s removal from his role as Speaker of the House Tuesday led to a bump in cable news viewership, with Fox News winning primetime with 2.68 million viewers.

McCarthy was ousted from his post with a vote of 216-210 in the chamber, a rebellion led by Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz. McCarthy is the first person in U.S. history to be removed from the House speakership.

Although the news broke of McCarthy’s removal during the 4 p.m. hour, viewership on cable news saw higher numbers for primetime. McCarthy additionally held a long press conference during the 8 p.m. hour on Tuesday, excerpts of which aired on all three cable news channels.

Fox News was the No. 1 most-watched cable news channel in primetime Tuesday. MSNBC came in second place with 2.14 million viewers,...

Cable news went into overdrive on a peculiar day in Washington, D.C., in which the House of Representatives voted to oust Kevin McCarthy as speaker and, in one of his first actions as speaker pro tempore, Rep. Patrick T. McHenry ordered speaker emerita Nancy Pelosi to vacate her private Capitol office.

“I’ve never seen anything like this before,” “CNN Tonight” anchor Laura Coates said late Tuesday night of the swirl of events in Congress.

CNN and MSNBC were among the news channels focusing heavily on the events unfolding in Congress on Tuesday, including McCarthy’s decision to not run for speaker again after the House ousted him from the top position by a historic vote of 216-210.

Rep. McHenry, a 10-term Republican from North Carolina who was appointed interim House speaker, ordered Pelosi to “immediately” vacate her private office in the Capitol by Wednesday.

Following the news of McHenry’s eviction notice,...

At least one of the big companies that distribute CNN via cable or satellite is unnerved by how closely the company’s new live-streaming service looks like its TV network.

Big satellite distributor DirecTV has let executives at Warner Bros. Discovery know via letter that its executives believe the similarities between the two products violate the carriage contract between the two companies, according to a person familiar with the matter. The new CNN streaming service, CNN Max, just launched last week and includes many of programs that run on linear CNN, including “CNN This Morning,” “The Lead With Jake Tapper” and “Anderson Cooper 360.”

The New York Times previously reported the contretemps between DirecTV and Warner Bros. Discovery.

“Wbd maintains strong and meaningful relationships with our affiliate partners. Our partners are aware of and understand our rationale with Max, which is to reach new audiences,” Warner Bros. Discovery said in a statement.

CNN’s new streaming product is set to look an awful lot like its familiar cable network.

CNN Max, which debuted Wednesday, has been touted as a way to get news giant’s content out to a increasing number of cord-cutters and consumers who no longer view cable as their primary way to get video entertainment and information. And parent company Warner Bros. Discovery, in the belief, perhaps, that a streaming subscription is just as good as one to a cable or satellite service, is making the bulk of its linear lineup available to the broadband crowd.

The weekday schedule of CNN Max features several new hours led by anchors such as Jim Acosta, Fredricka Whitfield, Rahel Solomon and Jim Scuitto. But a significant chunk of the service is built on CNN’s linear morning, late-afternoon and primetime schedule. When all is said and done, Max viewers will be able...

When Spike Lee was asked by TIFF to head to the festival, he was fully aware on what date he’d be there — that being Sept. 11.

So he did the right thing.

“It didn’t take me long to think about what I wanted to show,” said the Oscar-winning BlacKkKlansman filmmaker.

And in a proper reflection on the day when New York City’s World Trade Center towers were destroyed in a terrorist attack, Lee decided to show off to the crowd here at the Glenn Gould Theatre an episode of his 2021 HBO docuseries, NYC Epicenters 9/11 to 2021 ½, which dives into the similarities and differences between Sept. 11 and the Covid crisis in New York City two decades later.

The episode begins with a Port Authority video about the construction of the edifice in the late 1960s and a placard shortly thereafter reading that 60 people died during the building of the 1,360-plus-foot towers.

MSNBC host and former White House press secretary Jen Psaki is going to primetime.

Inside With Jen Psaki will now run on the cable news channel on Monday nights at 8 p.m. beginning Sep. 25, replacing an hour of All In With Chris Hayes.

Hayes will continue to host his show on Tuesday through Friday nights. Psaki will also continue to host Inside on Sundays at noon, and write her MSNBC political column.

MSNBC noted that, for the past year, All In has had a rotating slate of guest hosts on Monday nights as Hayes has worked on his podcast, an upcoming book, and live events. He will continue to expand his portfolio of content for the company. Psaki, it should be noted, was a frequent guest host for Hayes on Monday nights.

While hosts like Hayes and The Last Word’s Lawrence O’Donnell have been stalwarts of MSNBC’s primetime lineup (for 10 and 13 years,...

CNN anchor Laura Coates has moved to CAA for representation, a move that could signal a new era of influence for the talent-agency giant at the Warner Bros. Discovery-backed news outlet.

In a broad overhaul of CNN’s schedule, Coates was recently named to anchor a new 11 p.m. hour at CNN, “Laura Coates Live,” where she will follow Abby Philip, who will hold forth at 10. CAA also represents Erin Burnett, who anchors CNN’s 7 p.m. hour. All told, CAA will represent two of five of the anchors who appear during CNN’s schedule between 7 p.m. to midnight., which usually represent some of the network’s most-watched hours.

In years past, CNN’s primetime was dominated by rival agency UTA, which continues to have a strong roster at CNN. The agency represents Philip — who left CNN for UTA — as well as Anderson Cooper, Jake Tapper, Don Lemon and Alisyn Camerota.

Elsewhere, chief national affairs analyst Kasie Hunt will anchor Early Start following the departure of the show’s long-time host Christine Romans last month. CNN This Morning is also receiving a makeover following the recent controversy that saw Don Lemon fired after making sexist remarks. The morning show’s long-time co-host Kaitlan Collins also exited the program to host the network’s 9 pm hour, replacing Chris Cuomo, who was fired in 2021 amid an inquiry into whether he aided his brother, former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo. Phil Mattingly, CNN’s chief White House correspondent, will now co-host CNN This Morning alongside the show’s long-time anchor Poppy Harlow.

CNN has announced a sweeping overhaul of its TV lineup, giving weekend anchor and political correspondent Abby Phillip a 10 p.m. slot from New York, with legal analyst Laura Coates taking over at 11 from Washington.

CNN chief White House correspondent Phil Mattingly joins “CNN This Morning” along Poppy Harlow, while chief national affairs analyst Kasie Hunt will anchor “Early Start.” CNN also added a new 3 p.m. Et show anchored by chief investigative correspondent Pamela Brown.

Other changes: Laura Coates will anchor a new 11 p.m. Et show out of Washington, while Pamela Brown will anchor a 3 p.m. Et weekday show, The Bulletin with Pamela Brown.

On the weekends, Victor Blackwell, Chris Wallace and Christiane Amanpour will host new Saturday morning shows, while Manu Raju will take over the anchor chores on Inside Politics on Sunday morning.

Wallace, who has been hosting the interview show Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace? for HBO Max and CNN, will feature a “provocative panel of some of the country’s best reporters and influential commentators” to analyze the latest news and the 2024 presidential race. Amanpour’s show will focus on international developments.

One notable thing about the headlines coming out of CNN in recent weeks is something they don’t include: news about CNN itself.

Since the exit of former chief Chris Licht in June after a tenure marked by tumult and unwanted publicity, the gossip mill around the Warner Bros. Discovery-backed news outlet has ceased its once-dependable roar. There are no leaks about what happened at CNN’s morning editorial meeting, or chatter about how current leaders Amy Entelis, Virginia Moseley and Eric Sherling talk (or don’t) to the staff. There is even less hubbub about David Leavy, the longtime consigliere who was recently installed to oversee business affairs. and is a longtime consigliere to Warner Bros. Discovery honcho David Zaslav,

People familiar with the network say there is a sense of “relief” within its ranks. It won’t last for very long.

To be sure, CNN still has work to do.

Laura Coates has been promoted to chief legal analyst at CNN, the network announced Friday.

The host of SiriusXM’s “The Laura Coates Show” will continue guest anchoring across CNN programming, a duty that has previously seen the legal expert serving as an anchor for CNN’s prime time programs and hosting impactful specials, including a CNN Town Hall. She previously served as senior legal analyst for the news network.

Already a renowned constitutional expert, attorney, commentator, author, and former adjunct professor at the George Washington University School of Law, Coates has risen through CNN’s ranks by bringing her expertise to matters as high-profile as the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade, the Jan. 6 insurrection on the Capitol and its subsequent hearings, former president Donald Trump’s dual impeachments and more.

On the latter, she also hosted a special, “White House in Crisis: The Impeachment Inquiry.” Other...

CNN This Morning has tapped Lauren Mensch and Chris Russell as its new executive producers, an effort to bolster the network’s morning show after its debut in November.

They will succeed Eric Hall, who departed in January to helm the 11 Pm hour of CNN Tonight hosted by Laura Coates.

Mensch will serve as EP and showrunner, overseeing the execution of the 6-9 a.m. Et show and leading its editorial direction. Russell will executive produce during the dayside and evening hours, focused on editorial and infrastructure for the following morning. They will report to Ryan Kadro, senior vice president of content strategy.

Mensch most recently was the EP of CNN Newsroom with Alisyn Camerota and Victor Blackwell, in a tenure that included coverage of the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the January 6th insurrection. She also was executive producer on CNN-Sesame Street town halls focused on Covid and race relations,...

CNN hopes it’s finally hit upon a way to solve a long-vexing puzzle: What should it be airing at 9 p.m.? The solution requires the network to fit together many pieces.

Starting this week, the Warner Bros. Discovery-backed news outlet will fill the hour with a range of different special reports, all under the rubric of “CNN Primetime.” Future 9 p.m. hours could include one-on-one interviews with newsmakers; town halls that put government officials in direct contact with the people affected by policy decisions; and other programs that feature surprising “gets” and scoops. The programming gambit backs away from the tried-and-true practice of relying on a single anchor or opinion host in the time slot, home to Sean Hannity, Alex Wagner and Rachel Maddow, and banks instead on creative ways of analyzing the news cycle.

CNN announced earlier Monday that anchor Laura Coates would on Wednesday at 9 p.

CNN’s morning show isn’t peeling away from Don Lemon.

The anchor will return to “CNN This Morning” on Wednesday, despite delivering a set of controversial remarks last week, the latest maneuver in what has become a more difficult than expected effort by the Warner Bros Discovery-backed outlet to shake up its programming.

“I sat down with Don and had a frank and meaningful conversation. He has agreed to participate in formal training, as well as continuing to listen and learn. We take this situation very seriously,” CNN CEO Chris Licht said in a memo Monday night. “It is important to me that CNN balances accountability with fostering a culture in which people can own, learn and grow from their mistakes. To that end, Don will return to CNN This Morning on Wednesday.”

Lemon, who has become one of CNN’s best-known anchors after leading a late-evening program...

Don Lemon will be absent from “CNN This Morning” for a second consecutive broadcast as CNN continues to grapple with backlash to comments he made last week about the abilities of women over 40 — a crucial demographic for any morning-news program.

Three people familiar with the Warner Bros. Discovery-backed network say CNN staffers got word around 3 p.m. on Sunday that Lemon, who had been expected to return to his morning duties after taking a previously-scheduled day off on Friday, would not be on air Monday. Sara Sidner, an anchor who has been getting more screen time over the past year, is expected to fill in for him, sitting alongside co-anchor Poppy Harlow while the third member of CNN’s morning show team, Kaitlan Collins, will report from Poland. Some CNN staffers have begun to wonder, according to these people, whether the network may be considering a shake-up of the “CNN This Morning” team.

CNN may be getting ready to take a new swing at fixing its long-running 9 p.m. problem.

CNN is getting ready to launch a new show in that hour called “CNN Primetime,” which is described with a logline that says, “Join CNN’s top anchors for special events and unique conversations about the issues that matter the most.”

Both the show title and the programming descriptions are on display in interactive schedules that subscribers to cable and satellite services can call up to examine programming options. On Thursday, CNN is set to offer a “CNN Town Hall.” Another entry describes a one on one interview between a newsmaker and anchor Don Lemon. A person familiar with the matter says the details were inadvertently uploaded to cable systems and that only the town hall is a go for next week. A launch of “CNN Primetime” may not take place for some time,...

The premise of a good morning-news show is that it helps viewers wake up with their morning coffee. CNN’s new A.M. entry is quickly turning into a place where the coffee is being thrown.

Don Lemon, one of the three anchors of ‘CNN This Morning,” apologized Thursday afternoon for remarks made on the morning’s broadcast about when women are in their prime, during a segment about comments from new Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley regarding the age of some of her political rivals.

“She says people, you know, politicians or something are not in their prime,” Lemon said on the program “Nikki Haley isn’t in her prime, sorry. A woman is considered to be in their prime in 20s and 30s and maybe 40s.” The comment spurred co-anchor Poppy Harlow to try to get Lemon to modify his stance. “What are you talking about, wait — prime for what?...

CNN has found the next executive producer for its morning program CNN This Morning.

A source familiar with the plan tells The Hollywood Reporter it is anticipated that Chris Russell will join the morning show anchored by Don Lemon, Poppy Harlow and Kaitlan Collins as its new EP.

A CNN spokesperson tells THR that “no offer has been made or accepted at this time.”

Russell currently works as EP of Leland Vittert’s program at NewsNation, the cable news channel owned by Nexstar. He previously worked as a producer at CBS News, according to his LinkedIn page, including serving as supervising producer at CBS This Morning, the program that CNN CEO Chris Licht helped create in 2011.

Russell succeeds Eric Hall, who launched CNN This Morning as EP in November but is moving to the 11 p.m. hour, which is anchored by Laura Coates.

While Licht is reimagining CNN’s entire lineup,...
