Description
A key Democratic lawmaker and potential 2028 contender’s jab at a close aide to President Donald Trump has ignited a personal feud that could reverberate into a critical battleground midterm race.
Georgia Sen. Jon Ossoff, who is up for reelection in November, invoked the little-known, close aide to Trump, Natalie Harp, during remarks Sunday in Atlanta as he railed broadly over whether the president actually wants to serve as commander-in-chief.
Asked about the Democratic senator’s remarks, Trump on Monday compared Ossoff to Pee-wee Herman and told CNN’s Kristen Holmes in the Oval Office that he would “much rather do other things.”
"Regime Change" author Maggie Haberman says Harp is "completely devoted to Trump" and he has told people around him that "she'll never leave me." Also, CNN's Abby Phillip and her NewsNight panel debate the war of words between Ossoff and the Trump administration.
