She’s nervous. But she’s got three kids at home, and in this economy, it’s a job, and she needs it. She didn’t know just how dangerous it would be, though. And now, as the big day gets closer and closer, she’s just hoping to survive it. She was prepared for...

After months of following the many twists and turns of this presidential election, we’ve all been zooming in on some very particular voters who will ultimately decide who wins in November. It’s the undecided, moderate and independent voters in seven swing states who are going to be the difference between...

Believe it or not, Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump will meet next week in Philadelphia — for the first time. That’s right — Harris, who entered the U.S. Senate at the same time that Trump entered the White House, who had breakout moments during her cross-examination...

On Monday afternoon, former President Donald Trump’s former campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway, was on Fox Business discussing the state of Trump’s campaign with former Trump adviser Larry Kudlow. Conway was pointed in criticizing Trump’s attacks on Vice President Kamala Harris, which have centered on everything from her intelligence to her...

It’s likely many people turned on their television sets or scrolled through social media on Tuesday morning and said, “Who?” Tim Walz, the second-term governor of Minnesota who burst onto the scene over the past few weeks while campaigning for Vice President Kamala Harris, has officially become her running mate....

“Weird.” It’s the new Democratic talking point being used to describe former President Donald Trump and his newly minted running mate, Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance. It was first used by Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz in the wake of newly surfaced Vance videos in which he calls Democrats “childless cat ladies”...

After what was, by all accounts, a resoundingly successful Republican National Convention, the party appears to be over for former President Donald Trump and the GOP. The weeks leading up to the RNC were good for Republicans. Very good. President Biden had suffered through an agonizing and, some would say,...

In many ways, the selection of Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance as former President Donald Trump’s running mate is odd and seemingly impolitic. After all, Vance is another white guy from a state Trump won twice and is sure to win again — hardly a value-add. He’s brash and often unlikeable....

Common sense. We all know what it means, but common as it is, definitions and ideas of it have changed over centuries. Aristotle connected common sense directly to the senses, and the ways in which we use different tastes, colors, feelings, smells and sounds to collectively perceive and categorize things....

This last week of June 2024 will go down in history as one of the most consequential in American politics. June 27, in particular will go down as one of the most consequential debates in American elections — perhaps even more so than Nixon/Kennedy, or Lincoln/Douglas. That’s because the CNN...

The presidential election is less than five months away, and the Democratic National Convention that will officially nominate sitting President Biden is exactly two months away. You’d think by now, and with these events fast-approaching, we’d have finally moved through the stages of grief to acceptance that Joe Biden, for...

It’s nearly two years since the conservative Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, the decision that had protected access to abortion for nearly 50 years, sparking a seismic series of events in American political history. And if overturning Roe was indeed an earthquake, the aftershocks have been never-ending, although a...

In June 2015, Donald Trump announced he was running for president and made several eye-opening promises. Among them, that he’d be “the greatest jobs president that God ever created.” (He left the White House in 2020 with the worst jobs record since Herbert Hoover.) Another, that he’d build a border...

According to the most recent polls, former President Donald Trump is leading President Biden, despite facing several criminal indictments and regularly reminding many of his detractors why they’d voted him out — chaos follows him everywhere. Trump’s lead is in fact growing, and importantly he’s beating Biden in five key...

The day was Aug. 18, 1988. New Orleans. President Ronald Reagan’s vice president, George H.W. Bush took the stage at the Republican National Convention to accept the nomination for president. He’d been lagging in the polls behind Massachusetts Gov. Mike Dukakis, and Jack Kemp suggested an idea that could save...

Denial is a river in Egypt, as the saying goes. Well, it’s also making itself quite at home at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. President Biden is trailing former President Donald Trump in five swing states, all of which Biden won in 2020, according to a new set of polls. While these...

Donald Trump has a woman problem. That sounds like an obvious statement about the thrice married former president who is currently defending himself against charges he paid off a porn star he slept with just months after his wife gave birth to their son. But Stormy Daniels — said porn...

There’s a grand and important tradition of anti-war protest in America. And, when peaceful, these can be a useful and impactful mechanism to advocate for change. Sadly, what’s happening on our college campuses right now is making a mockery of that grand tradition and civil right. Over the past few...

Imagine your party’s presumptive nominee for president is about to stand trial for paying off a porn star he allegedly slept with just months after his wife gave birth to their son. The allegations alone are seedy enough. Then throw in witnesses like the unfortunately named former National Enquirer publisher...

In 1985, President Ronald Reagan addressed the Conservative Political Action Conference. It had been a very good five years for Republicans, starting with his election in 1980 and, for the first time in 28 years, a Republican Senate. He began by thanking the various groups in the room: the American...

As you might have noticed, the political class is in a bit of a frenzy, trying to intuit exactly whom Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s quixotic campaign for president will hurt the most — President Biden or former President Donald Trump. I suppose it’s good news for the independent candidate and...

On the night of Dec. 5, 2020, Jocelyn Benson and her 4-year-old son had just finished decorating their Detroit house for Christmas. Just as he was sitting down to watch “How the Grinch Stole Christmas,” Jocelyn heard a growing ruckus outside. The noises got louder and louder and eventually Benson...

“Here’s the good news. I’m very rich.” That was 2015 Donald Trump, who spent much of that year bragging about his immense wealth as he mounted a then unlikely run for president. “I’m the most successful person ever to run for the presidency, by far,” he said then. “Ross Perot...

Welp, it’s official. President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump — both of whom are unpopular and underwater in terms of favorability among Americans — are going to be our two major party choices for president. Congrats, America? On Tuesday night both Biden and Trump clinched enough delegates to...

Nearly 10 years ago, Donald Trump rode down a gaudy, golden escalator from his high perch atop Trump Tower down to the masses to announce his run for president. That moment would dramatically change the trajectory of the Republican Party in America — for the worse, and maybe irreparably. That...
