Top Trump Adviser to Quit After Stinging Election Defeat
The New Republic reports that National Economic Council director Kevin Hassett is expected to depart within weeks after Republicans lost the House and Senate in historic midterm losses, with Scott Bessent and David Zervos among candidates to replace him. The roundup also covers renewed calls to oust Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick over Nvidia, Delray Beach canceling its St. Patrick's Day parade and Pride celebration under Florida's anti-DEI law, protesters heckling Hakeem Jeffries in Denver, Chip Roy's floor rant blaming Republican self-interest for the losses, and Samuel Alito calling lower court blocks of Trump's policies "unjustified."
