由前总统唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)重塑的一个政党正在被再次重塑。
共和党官员和求职者并不热衷于承认这一点，但对他们中的大多数人来说，俄罗斯入侵乌克兰让他们公开同意总统乔·拜登(Joe Biden)的意见，而不是特朗普的意见。
乌克兰总统弗拉基米尔·泽伦斯基(Volodymyr Zelenskyy)在喧闹的两党招待会上表达了这一点在国会面前拜登还与参议院一致同意俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京是“战犯”
这场危机以意想不到的方式贯穿了共和党的初选。俄亥俄州参议员候选人万斯(J.D. Vance)是在5月3日的初选中寻求特朗普支持的人之一，他在上月首次在史蒂夫·班农的播客上表示，“我真的不在乎乌克兰会发生什么。”
在北卡罗来纳州，特朗普青睐的候选人、众议员特德·巴德(Ted Budd)正在接受一个竞争对手共和党人的严厉攻击广告，其中有一个片段，巴德称普京是“一个非常聪明的演员”。(广告中的一些引用被断章取义了，尽管这个问题只是因为特朗普称普京试图入侵乌克兰“相当聪明”才出现的。)
即使在共和党人对拜登提出尖锐批评的地方——抨击总统没有足够快地向乌克兰人提供足够多的致命援助——也有一些限制表明共和党正在发生变化。几乎没有主要的共和党人物呼吁也许最鹰派的行动泽伦斯基希望美国实施禁飞区。
一些最坚定的特朗普忠实者提出了重大的意见分歧。北卡罗来纳州共和党众议员麦迪逊·考索恩(Madison Cawthorn)周三抨击“左翼和我党内的新保守主义者，他们一有机会就叫嚣战争”——一周前，他称泽伦斯基为“暴徒”。

一些众议院进步人士指责拜登政府对待在美国寻求庇护的海地人的方式。
在一个信，纽约州众议员蒙代尔·琼斯和马萨诸塞州众议员艾安娜·普雷斯利。呼吁国土安全部停止将人驱逐到海地。拜登政府继续援引第42条，这是一项始于特朗普政府的政策，允许移民在没有机会听到他们的庇护申请的情况下被拒绝。
这两位议员引用了2021年7月海地总统约韦内尔·莫伊塞(Jovenel mose)遇刺以及8月份震撼该岛国的7.2级地震的后果，作为他们认为将移民遣返海地是危险的原因。国土安全部部长亚历杭德罗·马约尔卡斯此前声称，寻求庇护者返回是足够安全的。
立法者将正在进行的驱逐与旨在欢迎乌克兰难民的政策变化进行了对比。
“最近，在3月3日，移民和海关执法局暂停了飞往乌克兰的驱逐航班，以应对那里的‘持续人道主义危机’——这是一次合理而重要的执法自由裁量权的行使，”议员们写道。“完全有理由给予同样程度的同情，行使同样的酌处权，暂停将人驱逐到海地。”
自从拜登被驱逐出境以来，拜登政府已经驱逐了20，000多名移民到海地开创据拉丁美洲华盛顿办公室的倡导组织称。

名誉扫地的前纽约州州长安德鲁·科莫(Andrew Cuomo)重返政坛的想法开始变得切实可行。
据报道，在去年因多项性骚扰指控而辞职后，科莫现在正在考虑与接替他的民主党州长凯西·霍楚尔竞争前职位美国消费者新闻与商业频道的报道于周三发表。
科莫的助手一直在进行内部调查，看他在纽约初选中会如何表现。
科莫带着1600万美元的竞选资金进入2022年。但是，即使他的支持者鼓励他竞选公职，他自己党内的许多领导人并不支持这个想法。
纽约州民主党主席杰·雅各布斯告诉美国消费者新闻与商业频道，他认为“这将是一个严重的错误”
谈论州长库默出价是作为周二发布的审计显示科莫政府没有公开说明疫情期间近4100名疗养院居民死亡的原因。
今天的数字，由五点三十八分驱动
18.这是拉丁美洲人在加州投票年龄人口中占多数的地区数量，标志着自2010年重划周期以来增加了五个地区。这使得加州成为美国最大的拉丁裔新席位来源。更广泛地说，这凸显了拉丁裔选民在这一重划周期中日益增长的政治影响力，占2010年至2020年美国增长的51%以上。但正如FiveThirtyEight的纳撒尼尔·拉基奇(Nathaniel Rakich)所写的，就有色人种的代表性而言，这基本上是这一重新划分周期的收益范围。事实上，在许多地区，非白人选民的权力——尤其是黑人选民的权力——已经被削弱了。
Ukraine revealing GOP’s drift from Trump: The Note
The TAKE withRick Klein
A party remade by former President Donald Trump is in the process of being remade again.
Republican officeholders and office seekers aren't keen to admit it, but for most of them Russia's invasion of Ukraine has them publicly agreeing more on the substance with President Joe Biden than with Trump.
That comes through in the raucous bipartisan reception Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyygot in front of Congressand also in Biden's agreement with a unanimous Senate that Russian President Vladimir Putin is a "war criminal."
The crisis has been coursing through GOP primaries in unexpected ways. Ohio Senate candidate J.D. Vance -- among those pursuing Trump's endorsement in the May 3 primary -- labeled the invasion a "tragedy" after first saying on Steve Bannon's podcast last month that "I don't really care what happens to Ukraine one way or another."
In North Carolina, Trump's favored candidate, Rep. Ted Budd, is on the receiving end of a harsh attack ad from a rival Republican featuring a clip with Budd calling Putin "a very intelligent actor." (Some quotes in the ad are taken out of context, though the issue only came up because Trump called Putin "pretty smart" for trying to overrun Ukraine.)
Even where Republicans are offering sharp critiques of Biden -- blasting the president for not moving enough lethal aid quickly enough to Ukrainians -- there are limits that speak to how the GOP is changing. Virtually no major Republican figures are calling for perhapsthe most hawkish actionZelenskyy wants -- American enforcement of a no-fly zone.
It has fallen to some of the staunchest Trump loyalists to offer major differences of opinion. Rep. Madison Cawthorn, R-N.C., on Wednesday blasted "neocons both on the left and in my party who clamor for war at every chance they get" -- a week after calling Zelenskyy a "thug."
The RUNDOWN withAveri Harper
A couple of House progressives are taking the Biden administration to task for its treatment of Haitians who seek asylum in the United States.
In aletter,Reps. Mondaire Jones, D-N.Y., and Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass., have called on the Department of Homeland Security to halt deportations and expulsions of people to Haiti. The Biden administration has continued to invoke Title 42, a policy started under the Trump administration, which allows migrants to be turned away without a chance to have their asylum claims heard.
The pair of lawmakers cited the July 2021 assassination of Haitian President Jovenel Moïse and the aftermath of the 7.2 magnitude earthquake that rocked the island nation in August as reasons they believe returning migrants to Haiti is dangerous. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has previously claimed it is safe enough for asylum-seekers to return.
The lawmakers contrasted the ongoing expulsions to policy changes intended to welcome Ukrainian refugees.
"Recently, on March 3, Immigration and Customs Enforcement suspended deportation flights to Ukraine in response to the 'ongoing humanitarian crisis' there — a justified and important exercise of your enforcement discretion," wrote the lawmakers. "There is every reason to extend that same level of compassion and exercise that same discretion to suspend deportations to Haiti."
The Biden administration has deported or expelled more than 20,000 migrants to Haiti since Biden wasinaugurated, according to the advocacy group Washington Office on Latin America.
The TIP withHannah Demissie
The idea of disgraced former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo making a political comeback is starting to look like a real possibility.
After he resigned last year amid multiple allegations of sexual harassment, Cuomo is now considering a run for his former job against the very woman who replaced him, Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul, according toreporting by CNBC published Wednesday.
Aides of Cuomo have been conducting internal polling on how he would perform against Hochul in the New York primary.
Cuomo entered 2022 with a $16 million campaign war chest. But even though his supporters are encouraging him to run for office, many leaders in his own party do not support the idea.
New York Democratic Party Chair Jay Jacobs told CNBC he thinks "it would be a bad mistake."
Talk of aCuomobid comes as anaudit released Tuesdayshows the Cuomo administration did not publicly account for the deaths of nearly 4,100 nursing home residents during the pandemic.

18.That's the number of districts where Latinos constitute a majority of the voting-age population in California, which marks an increase of five districts since the 2010 redistricting cycle. This makes California by far the biggest source of new Latino seats in the country. More broadly, it underscores the growing political clout of Latino voters in this redistricting cycle, accounting for more than 51% of the country's growth from 2010 to 2020. But as FiveThirtyEight’s Nathaniel Rakich writes, that’s essentially the extent of this redistricting cycle's gains when it comes to the representation of people of color. In fact, there are many districts where nonwhite voters' power -- particularly Black voters' power -- has been eroded.
