The reason that it is important to ask Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) whether he accepts that Donald Trump lost the 2020 presidential election is not to establish whether Vance accepts reality. At least, that’s not the primary reason. It is good to know, certainly, whether the guy who could be a 78-year-old heartbeat away from the presidency in four months ...
WAUKESHA, Wis. — Many Republicans who watched the vice-presidential debate on Tuesday night would say Donald Trump’s running mate, Ohio Sen. JD Vance, had the best of his opponent, Minnesota Gov.

Democrats in the 2024 race have focused extensively on reported comments — confirmed last year by Trump’s former chief of staff, ...
Vice President Kamala Harris is set to campaign Thursday in Wisconsin with Republican former congresswoman Liz Cheney as Harris looks to emphasize her cross-party support in the final weeks before the November election. Cheney, who endorsed Harris last month, will appear with the vice president in Ripon, Wis., which is known as the birthplace of the Republican Party, according to ...
We just got the most extensive new detail in years about former president Donald Trump’s plot to overturn the 2020 election, in the form of a much-anticipated filing from special counsel Jack Smith. The 165-page, partially redacted filing, which was unsealed by U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, lays out the evidence Smith’s team would like to present in the long-delayed ...
