- President Trump shared a racist video on his Truth Social platform, prompting criticism from Sen. Tim Scott (R-South Carolina) and a frustrated 2024 Trump voter, who called the video "an embarrassment to our country" and stated that Trump "is not worthy of the presidency."
- The 2026 Super Bowl Half Time Show, featuring Puerto Rican reggaetón star Bad Bunny, drew 135 million viewers, vastly outperforming Turning Point USA's alternative halftime show, which had 6.1 million viewers, according to CBS News and the El Paso Times.
- Alex Shephard, a reporter for The New Republic, notes that the backlash against Trump's racist video and the success of Bad Bunny's performance signal a shift in the American public's rejection of MAGA's view of the world, with Shephard stating, "I think that one of the big shifts is that there was this idea in the last election — 'Let Trump be Trump' — sort of pushed by Susie Wiles in particular, currently the chief of staff," and adding that politicians are now more willing to call out Trump's offensive behavior.
