MONTREAL — Kamala Harris was just starting her freshman year at a high school in Quebec when, as one of her classmates recalled, “all hell broke loose.” After years of deepening conflict over the French-speaking majority’s treatment, a political party advocating political separation from Canada had recently taken power. Tens of thousands of English-speaking families fled as stringent new language ...
COACHELLA, Calif. — Former president Donald Trump suggested that a heckler would later get “the hell knocked out of her” during an insult-laced speech here Saturday that portrayed a dark image of the country and demonized undocumented immigrants. As Trump called the Nov. 5 election a “chance to send a message,” he stopped his remarks and turned to the crowd. ...
Polls are coming fast and furious now, with just over three weeks remaining before the November election. The Wall Street Journal released a set on Friday morning, evaluating how voters in swing states viewed the candidacies of Vice President Kamala Harris and former president Donald Trump. As with most other such polls, views were divided. The Journal poll also offered ...
Donald Trump is leaning into a nativist, anti-immigrant message in the final stage of his third presidential campaign, advancing a closing argument centered on fearmongering, falsehoods and stereotypes about migrants as polls show his edge on economic issues fading. In recent days, the former president has suggested that “bad genes” are to blame for people in the country illegally who ...
Donald Trump’s campaign requested military aircraft for Trump to fly in during the final weeks of the campaign, expanded flight restrictions over his residences and rallies, ballistic glass pre-positioned in seven battleground states for the campaign’s use and an array of military vehicles to transport Trump, according to emails reviewed by The Washington Post and people familiar with the matter. ...
There’s a throughline between two New York Times stories released Friday that needs to be drawn. In one, reporters detail how Elon Musk is using his fortune and social media platform (X, once known as Twitter) to benefit former president Donald Trump’s campaign. In the other, the paper details how Trump’s running mate, Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio), refused to acknowledge ...
Democratic strategists beat back potentially catastrophic third-party threats this year with a campaign to force attorney Robert F. Kennedy Jr. from the race and prevent a presidential bid by the moderate group No Labels. But advisers to Vice President Kamala Harris still say the final outcome in key swing states could hinge on the remaining independent and third-party contenders, who ...
When considering how the presidential election is likely to turn out, there is no more important question than who will be motivated to cast a ballot. All of the talk of Vice President Kamala Harris’s and former president Donald Trump’s efforts at persuading undecided voters is interesting but not terribly relevant. Instead, given the likelihood of the presidency being determined ...
Sen. JD Vance, the running mate of former president Donald Trump, repeatedly declined to acknowledge in a new interview that Trump lost the 2020 election, an issue that has dogged the Ohio Republican in the closing weeks of the presidential race. In the interview with the New York Times, Vance was given five opportunities to acknowledge that Trump did not ...
For about as long as he’s been part of the 2024 presidential race, Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) appeared to be a weight around Donald Trump’s ankles — possibly even the most unpopular running mate in modern history. Vance’s 2022 Senate campaign in Ohio was far from resounding, and his early performances on the 2024 campaign trail seemed to confirm that ...
