Folks,
It's one of those days where weeks happen, and one of those weeks where years have happened. And yet the news keeps coming and The National Pulse still keeps pumping out the most verified and reliable information in the game. For your continued support I once again say THANK YOU.
Eagle-eyed readers may have noticed our trialing of a new "IN BRIEF" section before the stories in full on the site today. This, coupled with some other changes in how we produce content for social media platforms, are part of our plan to grow in tandem with your busy lives and precious time. I hope you find it useful.

Now let me let you in on a little secret about this Elise Stefanik stuff, since it pertains to what everyone's already heard too much about this week: Michael Waltz.
Again, like I said yesterday, I am not a "hater" of Mr. Waltz. But it appears he is struggling to keep a lot of friends in MAGA-world, firstly due to his neocon roots, secondly due to the Signal-gate error and subsequent lies, and now due to the fact that his old Congressional seat in Florida's 6th district is now polling within the margin of error – EEK!
Which means House Republicans – who currently have a majority of just 5 seats with 4 seats vacant – desperately need to keep Rep. Stefanik in situ. Hence President Trump's decision to rescind her United Nations nomination today.
It's not all Waltz's fault, I'm told by my sources. But he's scarcely done the district any favors as its former representative this week, and he's not exactly able to head down there to convince his former voters to back his endorsed candidate.
Which brings me onto the next problem: I'm told that Randy Fine himself isn't doing very well with voters. The data backs that up. Amongst those who have already made up their minds or cast early ballots, Democrat Josh Weil leads.
Democrats smell blood in the water, with elections set to take place on Tuesday, April 1st in both Rep. Matt Gaetz's old seat (FL-1) and Waltz's (FL-6). The RNC is deploying its "big guns" in the form of former Trump campaign chief Chris LaCivita and his team, but frankly, that doesn't give The National Pulse much hope.
It was Donald Trump with the help of Susie Wiles, not Chris LaCivita, who truly ran the victory of 2024. If Republicans are reduced to a ONE seat majority (consider folks like Rep. Massie, who love to rebel), you've barely got a functioning legislative branch for President Trump, starting from whenever Governor Abbott in Texas can hold off in Texas's 18th.
Maybe he can hold out until November. But still... yikes!
