The 2028 race for the White House will give new political clout to a long-overlooked constituency: Native American voters. Driving the news: New Mexico now holds an influential early spot as one of the first states to vote in the Democratic primary — on Feb. 15, 2028. That's put Native Americans, who make up about 12% of the state, in position to wield more influence in the presidential race than ever before. In recent Democratic primaries, New Mexico typically has voted late in the season, in June. States that held the earliest primaries had much smaller Native populations. Now potential presidential campaigns are scrambling to adjust to the 2028 lineup, calling Native leaders to learn about Indigenous power players and the dynamics of tribal governments, Democratic operatives tell Axios. Zoom in: Any presidential candidate who wants to win New Mexico is "going to have to listen to tribes," warned Deb Haaland, the former U.S. interior secretary who made history in 2021 when she beca

President Trump stood by his support for a united Ireland on Sunday after his remarks during a two-day visit sparked a backlash from unionist and British politicians and praise from Irish nationalists. Why it matters: Trump broke with a longstanding U.S. presidential convention of not taking sides on whether Northern Ireland should ultimately be British or Irish. The U.S. helped broker the 1998 Good Friday Agreement, built around consent and parity between British unionism and Irish nationalism. Former President Clinton, whose administration played a central role in the peace process, explicitly said the U.S. was "neither in favor of a united Ireland nor opposed to the idea." Driving the news: Trump said in Dublin, sitting beside Irish Taoiseach Micheál Martin on Saturday, that he'd "love to see" Ireland unified and that it is "going to happen eventually," so it "may as well happen now." He described uniting Northern Ireland with the Republic of Ireland as "fantastic," adding: "The

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said Sunday that Congress won't lead the charge on regulating AI safety. Why it matters: Calls for AI companies to adopt safety protocols reached a fever pitch this week, prompting the four biggest AI labs to endorse slowing their models' development. Driving the news: Johnson was urged this week to cancel the House recess and bring representatives back to D.C. to pass a law on AI safeguards. During a Sunday appearance on CNN's "State of the Union," Johnson said Congress intervening isn't the answer and that AI companies can halt their work at any time. We have to "resist Congress jumping in and imposing some sort of emergency moratorium. It's got to be done right, safely, wisely. What they're saying: Johnson said it is too risky to national security to stop all AI development "because China will overlap us" and proposed a meeting between President Trump, members of Congress, and the top AI officials who call the shots at their respective compa
