Pregnant Republican forced to evacuate Florida office after imminent death threats following her painful revelation

Daily Mail​2 days ago

Florida Republican Kat Cammack shared Wednesday that her district office had to be evacuated due to death threats she received following a Wall Street Journal story published earlier this week detailed her experiences with an ectopic pregnancy last year.
Cammack, 37, is currently pregnant and expecting her first child in mid-August.
In a post on X, formerly Twitter, the congresswoman spoke of 'imminent death threats against me, my unborn child, my family and my staff' based on her revealing her story about a 'nonviable pregnancy with no heartbeat.'
'Since then, we've received thousands of hate-filled messages and dozens of credible threats from pro-abortion activists, which law enforcement is actively investigating,' she added, noting the uptick of violent threats against elected officials.
In a statement sent to the Daily Mail by Cammack's office she also noted:
'This is the unacceptable reality we're facing: sharing a personal health story in an effort to improve healthcare for women and their children can lead to threats, harassment, and evacuation orders'.
'This should be a wake-up call. Women deserve better. And so does the national healthcare dialogue, Cammack added.
The threats come just over a week after a Minnesota lawmaker and her husband were assassinated at their home by a gunman.
Cammack also clarified that she did not vote for Florida's heartbeat law since she serves as a U.S. congresswoman, not a state legislature.
Florida's heartbeat law, passed in 2023, bans abortion once a fetal heartbeat can be detected — typically around six weeks of pregnancy.
'Let me be clear: I will not be intimidated. I won't back down in the fight for women and families. Ensuring women have the resources and care they deserve is critical. We need real conversations about maternal healthcare in America—conversations based on truth, not fear,' Cammack said.
Today, we had to evacuate our offices due to imminent death threats against me, my unborn child, my family, and my staff. These threats erupted after the Wall Street Journal reported on my life-threatening ectopic pregnancy—a nonviable pregnancy with no heartbeat.
Since then,… pic.twitter.com/gsaBO70s9P

The Wall Street Journal reported that Cammack was about five weeks pregnant when she required a methotrexate injection to treat an ectopic pregnancy — a condition in which the embryo cannot survive.
Cammack is a co-chair of the House Pro-Life Caucus, and opposes abortion, but backs exemptions in the case of rape, incest and when the life of the mother is in danger.
Cammack's team said some of the threats came in as comments on a series of photos she and her husband Matt Harrison took to celebrate her pregnancy.

Trump news at a glance: fate of president's ‘big, beautiful bill' in doubt amid Senate vote

US senators on Saturday were scrambling to open debate on Donald Trump's 'big, beautiful' budget bill, which is key to the president's second-term agenda. The bill cannot advance to the House until a debate is held and a final vote on the legislation passes the Senate. But Republicans have been divided by the controversial bill, with some rejecting the proposal to cut welfare programmes in order to cover tax breaks, and others demanding deeper cuts. After the procedural vote to move to a floor debate on the measure opened on Saturday evening, several Republican had voted against it, putting pressure on the remaining holdouts to toe the party line. Meanwhile, the tech billionaire Elon Musk has again voiced criticism of bill, describing it as 'utterly insane and destructive'. Here are the key stories at a glance: A vote in the US Senate, on whether or not to open debate on Donald Trump's package of tax breaks, spending cuts and bolstered deportation funds, formally titled 'the One Big Beautiful Bill Act', stalled for hours on Saturday, as Republicans inclined to vote against the measure were pressured to support it. Soon after the vote opened at 7.30pm local time in Washington, three Republican senators joined all 47 Democrats to vote against the bill, meaning the remaining 50 Republican senators all needed to vote in favor to give vice-president JD Vance the chance to cast the tie-breaking vote and clear the procedural hurdle.

Kamala's comeback bid sparks Democrat donor meltdown amid fears she'll sink party in California

' potential comeback bid for California 's gubernatorial race is falling flat as the state's liberal donors say they are still 'traumatized' from her loss to Donald Trump. The former Democratic nominee for president has been considering a run for California Governor, with several declared candidates promising to drop out of the race if she enters. Harris would instantly become the frontrunner in the race, but Democratic donors say they are less than enthusiastic about the former vice president's resurgence. Insiders told Politico that donors are still suffering a hangover from Harris' landslide loss to Donald Trump in November, after she burned through hundreds of millions of dollars only to ultimately lose every swing state. 'Kamala just reminds you we are in this complete s*** storm,' one donor told the outlet. 'With Biden, we got bamboozled… I think she did the best she could in that situation, but obviously she knew about the cognitive decline too. 'I've written so many checks because I knew the Trump administration would be horrible, but we're living in a nightmare because of the Democrats. I'm furious at them, truly.' Harris has not publicly said she will enter the race, but sources told The Hill this week that she is 'leaning toward' entering the Democratic primary, saying the chance to get back in the spotlight has given her 'a glimmer in her eyes.' But while Harris is said to be excited by the prospect of re-entering public office, many of the donors who supported her last run for the White House say they are less enthused. 'There was more enthusiasm at first,' Mather Martin, a San Francisco-based fundraiser who has worked for past Harris campaigns, told Politico. 'I think it waned a bit.' One California donor who contributed six-figures to Harris' run against Donald Trump said they fear a comeback campaign would only remind Democrats of how 'traumatizing' her loss to Trump was. Harris reportedly held several meetings in the Bay Area this month to feel out a possible run for governor, and believes she would have an advantage in the field as she remains a big name in a Democratic Party that has not found a new leader following Trump's landslide in November. She was reportedly considering another run for the presidency in 2028, but is leaning toward California Governor. One insider told The Hill: 'She has a lot of people in her ear telling her that it makes the most sense and she can do the most good.' One key sticking point looming over any potential run appears to be the reported cognitive decline of former President Joe Biden, raising questions over whether Harris was privy to his struggles in office. One of Harris' would-be opponents in the race, former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, used this as ammunition in a recent X post last month. 'Voters deserve to know the truth, what did Kamala Harris and Xavier Becerra know, when did they know it, and most importantly, why didn't either of them speak out?' he wrote - also referencing former California Attorney General Xavier Becerra, who was also a member of the Biden administration as secretary of Health and Human Services. 'This cover up directly led to a second Donald Trump term.' As one Democrat donor put it to Politico, fundraisers 'realize it's just going to bring up the whole pathetic last presidential, which no one wants to hear about again. And then it's the whole 'Did you know Joe Biden?' thing.' They concluded: 'She still would probably lead, but honestly, no one is incredibly pumped.'

Trump's Big Beautiful Bill on the brink as JD Vance is rushed to Capitol to whip rebel senators

Three Republican holdouts are standing in the way of President Donald Trump 's historic Big Beautiful Bill - prompting the administration to deploy JD Vance to the Capitol to win over voters. The Senate is locked in a tense vote tonight over Trump's landmark legislation after the administration cut several deals and made amendments to the mammoth package in an effort to get it greenlit. As the vote, which was expected to last just 15 minutes, drags into a third hour, Vice President JD Vance has arrived at the Capitol and could be required to cast the tie-breaking vote. Trump needs the votes of conservative Republicans Rick Scott of Florida, Mike Lee of Utah, and Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming to get the numbers he needs to proceed. The tense deliberation sparked an outburst from Trump, targeting Republican Senator Thom Tillis after he formally railed against his party to vote 'No.' Trump wrote on Truth Social: 'He loves China made windmills that will cost a fortune, ruin the landscape, and produce the most expensive Energy on Earth. 'I can't believe that the Great People of North Carolina, a State that I love and won all three times ... allow one of their Senators to GRANDSTAND in order to get some publicity for himself.' Ron Johnson of Wisconsin and Rand Paul of Kentucky have also already voted against it. Former First Buddy Elon Musk savaged the amendments earlier on Saturday, warning: 'The latest Senate draft bill will destroy millions of jobs in America and cause immense strategic harm to our country.' 02:20 Trump goes apocalyptic at No voter Thom Tillis Trump slammed Republican Senator Thom Tillis of North Carolina in a furious Truth Social post on Saturday night after he voted down his Big Beautiful Bill. 'Looks like Senator Thom Tillis, as usual, wants to tell the Nation that he's giving them a 68% Tax Increase, as opposed to the Biggest Tax Cut in American History,' he wrote. 'He loves China made windmills that will cost a fortune, ruin the landscape, and produce the most expensive Energy on Earth. 'I can't believe that the Great People of North Carolina, a State that I love and won all three times, and a State that I just brought back with money, blood, sweat, and tears, from the recent tragic floods, when Sleepy Joe Biden let them DROWN, right up until the end of that Administration, without doing anything. 'I was given an A+ Rating for the job we did in bringing it back, and Tillis, despite being a Republican, was MISSING IN ACTION. 'North Carolina will not allow one of their Senators to GRANDSTAND in order to get some publicity for himself, for a possible, but very difficult Re-Election. 'America wants Reduced Taxes, including NO TAX ON TIPS, NO TAX ON OVERTIME, AND NO TAX ON SOCIAL SECURITY, Interest Deductions on Cars, Border Security, a Strong Military, and a Bill which is GREAT for our Farmers, Manufacturers and, Employment, in general. 'Thom Tillis is making a BIG MISTAKE for America, and the Wonderful People of North Carolina!' 02:18 Who has already voted No and who are the hold outs? Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, Rand Paul of Kentucky and Thom Tillis of North Carolina have all voted against progressing Trump's Big Beautiful Bill to be debated. Tillis earlier said: 'I did my homework on behalf of North Carolinians, and I cannot support this bill in its current form. 'It would result in tens of billions of dollars in lost funding for North Carolina, including our hospitals and rural communities. This will force the state to make painful decisions like eliminating Medicaid coverage for hundreds of thousands in the expansion population, and even reducing critical services for those in the traditional Medicaid population. 'We can and must do better than this.' Meanwhile, Senators Mike Lee of Utah, Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming and Rick Scott of Florida are still holding out on delivering their final decision. They are believed to vote as a bloc. Trump can only afford to lose three votes, meaning if the trio of holdout senators vote against the bill, it will be - at least temporarily - over. If the trio vote in favor, Vance will be the deciding vote.
