The White House has released a statement of administration policy in support of the Protect College Sports Act. Donald Trump has long supported a college sports bill. The bill is on the brink of a Senate floor vote but it faces hurdles and a time crunch.

ICYMI: Sure, a "3-3-3" improvement on Zeldin's 2022 vote % by region could lift Blakeman in bid against Hochul. But what are the hurdles to making that happen? @Newsday newsday.com/news/region-stat…

To the 100’s of reporters calling me through the night. Stop! My legal team and I were made aware by a report from NPR yesterday that the DOJ might be looking into me. So now my legal team is in contact with the DOJ to see what is going on. I will comment further when appropriate and clarify everything accordingly while being mindful and respectful of any process that might be underway. The bases of the accusation is preposterous and I look forward to supplying any information asked of me to any agency that inquires, till then media please do not inquire.
