In 2020, Joe Biden won the national popular vote for president by 4.5 percentage points, a seemingly safe margin that should have easily put him in the White House. But under the hood, the presidential race was extremely close. In fact, if just 42,000 votes in three battleground states — Arizona, Georgia and Wisconsin — had gone differently, Biden would ...
GLENDALE, Ariz. — Speaking here Friday to the largest crowd of her nascent presidential campaign, Vice President Kamala Harris responded to protesters by calling for a cease-fire in Gaza and the freeing of hostages there — a contrast with her response to a similar interruption earlier this week. “Now is the time and the president and I are working around-the-clock ...
Former president Donald Trump insisted again Friday that he took a dangerous helicopter ride with former San Francisco mayor Willie Brown, telling the New York Times that he would release flight records. Trump, who did not release the records, told reporters at a news conference Thursday that he had ridden in a helicopter with Brown, who dated Vice President Kamala ...
The superficial, oversimplified reason Democrats decided to turn the page on President Joe Biden in the 2024 election was that he was too old. The more specific reason may have been that this problem — manifested in his stilted, often incoherent speaking and a light schedule — rendered him largely incapable of driving a consistent message about Donald Trump. That ...
Democrats have, until recently, spent much of the 2024 election fretting. And high on the list of reasons was the presence of third-party candidates like Robert F. Kennedy Jr. who they feared would pull more votes from their side. Today, Vice President Kamala Harris hasn’t just risen in the polls; she has shifted that third-party dynamic. She now does better ...
Jesse Watters is onto it. Onto the whole thing. He’s figured it out. The Fox News host knows that the media — that is, the media outside of his own right-wing channel — is hopelessly in the tank for Vice President Kamala Harris. And he has the evidence to prove it, as he revealed Wednesday afternoon on the show “The ...
Prosecutors with special counsel Jack Smith on Thursday asked for a three-week delay in former president Donald Trump’s 2020 election obstruction case, saying the Justice Department needed more time to analyze the Supreme Court’s ruling last month that presidents have broad immunity from prosecution after leaving office. U.S. District Judge Tanya S. Chutkan had set a Friday deadline for both ...
Donald Trump suggested in a news conference Thursday that he is open to curbing access to abortion pills through federal regulations, declining to rule out a sweeping move that some antiabortion allies have advocated. Trump has previously praised a Supreme Court ruling that maintained access to the key abortion drug mifepristone, saying, “I agree with their decision to have done ...
The very first fight Donald Trump picked with the media after being inaugurated as president was about crowd size. On Jan. 21, 2017, the day after his inauguration, Trump visited CIA headquarters as a sort of olive branch after having disparaged the intelligence community’s determination that Russia had worked to aid his election. While there, Trump claimed that “a million, ...
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, the Democrats’ recently selected vice-presidential nominee, owns no businesses, individual stocks, a home or other real estate — a modest financial position that may put him on par with other former high school teachers but creates a striking contrast with the Republican nominee for vice president, Sen. JD Vance (Ohio). The financial disclosure form Walz filed ...
