The Supreme Court ruled yesterday that states cannot remove former President Donald Trump from the ballot for his actions leading up to the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.

Miss you and love you forever," his daughter, Jennifer Candy-Sullivan, 44, captioned her Instagram post. Sullivan also spoke with us about her relationship with the "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles" star. "He was the best dad," Jennifer said. "He'd say, 'Don't worry what people think about you.
