Two legends on one bus: President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump both won their Texas primaries on Tuesday, moving them closer to a rematch in the November presidential election.
President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump won their Texas primaries on Tuesday, propelling them closer to a rematch in the November presidential election.
Both men easily carried the state, the AP declared shortly after the last polls closed in Texas at 8 p.m. Central Time. Biden faced no viable challengers in the Democratic primary. And Trump defeated his last challenger, Nikki Haley. Haley suspended her campaign Wednesday morning after losing primaries across the country on Tuesday.
Trump’s victory in Texas was not always a foregone conclusion. After the 2022 midterms, Republicans blamed Trump for significant losses, and many prominent state leaders were hesitant to endorse the former president, who also faced mounting legal problems. A November 2022 poll showed Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis leading Trump.

A November 2022 poll showed Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis leading Trump.
But Trump actively sought early support from the Texas congressional delegation. Meanwhile, DeSantis failed to live up to expectations and enthusiasm over his candidacy dwindled. As Trump’s nomination appeared increasingly inevitable, state leaders rallied around him; Gov. Greg Abbott offered Trump an endorsement last November during a trip to the Texas-Mexico border.
Endorsements from U.S. Sens. Ted Cruz and John Cornyn followed in January. Once he dropped out, DeSantis backed Trump, too. That left Haley as Trump’s only viable opponent, and he polled ahead of her by more than 60 percentage points in January

Congratulations to Zendaya and Tom Holland as Zendaya announced that she’s pregnant through the scan result she posted as she reveals the baby’s gender. The two announced they would be holding a …. see more
Zendaya has appeared to debunk pregnancy rumors which went viral on social media.
The “Spider-Man: No Way Home” actor posted an Instagram Story on June 15, which said, “See now, this is why I stay off Twitter… Just making stuff up for no reason… weekly.”
It followed rumors that Zendaya was pregnant spreading on Twitter, where a TikTok falsely claiming she’d announced a pregnancy began to circulate. Users appeared to believe the hoax, despite it originally being posted as part of a viral TikTok prank called the “Krissed” trend, where people make false claims about celebrities to bait people into watching a clip of Kris Jenner dancing to “Lady Marmalade.”
On June 13, a user called Ryan Roberts posted a TikTok showing a picture of an ultrasound that looked like a screenshot from Instagram, with Zendaya’s Instagram handle above it.
On Zendaya’s Instagram profile, there is no picture that matches the screenshot in the TikTok.
The 12-second video then cut to a 2011 clip of Kris Jenner dancing and lipsyncing to the “Moulin Rouge” song, with an on-screen caption reading, “You just got Krissed.”
The word “krissed” was used as a synonym for pranked in the video caption, which went on to say, “Send this to your friends to absolutely #kris them.”
Similar videos have gone viral over the past week, and 11,000 TikToks have been posted on the platform with the hashtag “#krissed,” as part of the prank.
Commenters under the original TikTok largely recognized that the pregnancy claims weren’t true, with top comments saying, “I didn’t fall for this one,” and “Nope I was actually prepared this time.”
The TikTok user who posted the video did not immediately respond to Insider’s request for comment.
On Twitter, users appeared to believe the pregnancy was real
Shortly after the TikTok was posted, a rumor that Zendaya was pregnant began to spread on Twitter.
The topic “Zendaya pregnant,” was trending on the platform on June 15, with some people suggesting they were shocked or sad to hear the news, and top liked tweets under the hashtag, “#ZendayaPregnant” have hundreds of thousands of likes each on the platform.
Some users recognized that the rumors originated from the “Krissed” trend and were part of a prank, urging users not to believe the claims.
Zendaya’s personal life has frequently been the topic of speculation on social media
Zendaya and her boyfriend Tom Holland have tried to keep their relationship out of the public eye as much as possible. However, last year, Holland told People that he wanted to “take a break and focus on starting a family.”
He added: “I love kids. I can’t wait to be a dad — I can wait and I will, but I can’t wait!”
In February, Holland also shut down reports that he had purchased a home in London, England with Zendaya.
The two Marvel stars were first linked after starring in the “Spider-Man” Marvel Cinematic Universe trilogy together. Last year, dating rumors surfaced after they were photographed kissing in a car.
Holland later told GQ that he and Zendaya felt “robbed” of their privacy by the photograph.
“One of the downsides of our fame is that privacy isn’t really in our control anymore, and a moment that you think is between two people that love each other very much is now a moment that is shared with the entire world,” Holland said.
Representatives for Zendaya did not immediately respond to Insider’s request for comment
