Presidential race
New campaign finance reports for the 2024 Republican presidential candidates reveal the growing chasm between former President Donald Trump and everyone else seeking the nomination. Trump continues to lead the GOP field by millions more in fundraising and available cash in comparison to his competitors, new filings show. Other prominent Republicans in the race — including his one-time running mate, former Vice President Mike Pence — are trailing far behind the field as they struggle for attention and money from voters and donors alike. The reports also show Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott are burning through political donations just as the battle for the GOP presidential nomination is heating up with additional campaign stops and another presidential debate next month.

House speaker
Republican Rep. Jim Jordan told CNN he will go to the House floor today for a speaker vote at 12 p.m. ET, though it remains questionable whether he has enough votes locked down to secure the gavel. If Jordan can corral enough support to become speaker this afternoon, it would put an end to a chaotic and unprecedented two weeks in the House following Kevin McCarthy's ouster. He faces an uphill battle after at least four GOP lawmakers on Monday already said they remain opposed to his bid. The fight to fill the role is time sensitive because without a speaker, lawmakers are unable to pass legislation despite international crises and a looming government shutdown.
