Some notable MAGA lawmakers showed up at the courtroom where Donald Trump’s hush-money trial will be hearing from the former president’s ex-ally turned foe Michael Cohen on Monday.

While multiple members of Trump’s family—including his wife, Melania—have been conspicuously absent from the trial, Sens. J.D. Vance (R-OH) and Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) appeared in the Manhattan courtroom. Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY) was also seen joining the pack.

Vance, who is currently thought to be on the shortlist of Trump’s potential running mates, arrived in court after he spent part of the weekend going on TV and defending the GOP presumptive nominee against claims that he might be antisemitic.

I’m a little bit intrigued by Vance’s journey from president of the junior anti-Trump league, to most shameless of lickspittles, but showing up in the courtroom that Trump’s own current rent-a-wife hasn’t deigned to grace with her presence is maybe taking it all too far, assuming that’s even possible any more.

Odds that Trump dies during the first year of his second presidency: 5.5%

Second year: 6.1%

Third year: 6.8%

Fourth year: 7.4%

Cumulative: 22.9%
