Olympics Open, Vance Booed, Trump Hosts GOP Governors

The opening ceremony of the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milano Cortina was marked by both celebration and controversy, with the appearance of U.S. Vice President JD Vance drawing boos from the crowd at Milan's San Siro Stadium, according to multiple sources. The event, which officially kicked off the games, featured performances by Mariah Carey, Laura Pausini, Andrea Bocelli, and Sabrina Impacciatore, and showcased athletes from 92 national Olympic committees.

The Parade of Nations, a highlight of the ceremony, saw the U.S. delegation enter the stadium to cheers. However, the mood shifted when the screen focused on Vance and his wife, Usha Vance, who were waving American flags. Their appearance was met with jeers and boos, audible despite the loud music, as reported by the NY Times. The ceremony also took place at venues in Predazzo, Livigno, and Cortina d'Ampezzo.

Meanwhile, in other political news, former President Trump is hosting a meeting of Republican governors at the White House this month, excluding Democratic governors. According to the NY Times, this is a departure from the usual bipartisan approach of the National Governors Association winter gathering. Trump reportedly blocked invitations for Democratic Governors Wes Moore of Maryland and Jared Polis of Colorado, stating he only wanted Republican governors for the meeting. A separate, bipartisan dinner for governors and their spouses is still planned as part of the N.G.A. activities.

In related news, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is launching an investigation into ABC's "The View" regarding the agency's crackdown on equal time for political candidates, Fox News reported. The FCC announced last month that it would require broadcast networks to adhere to the "statutory equal opportunities requirement," citing the Communications Act of 1934.

In other news, Country music singer Brantley Gilbert was tapped to perform at Turning Point USAs "All-American Halftime Show" on Sunday to counter against Bad Bunnys spectacle at Super Bowl LX, according to Fox News. Gilbert will be one of four singers at the Turning Point USA event, which also includes Kid Rock, Lee Brice, and Gabby Barrett.
