While Republicans celebrated this “red tsunami,” Democrats face the question: why did they lose the polls so decisively? The GOP’s success stems from a mix of strategic campaigning, widespread dissatisfaction with the Democratic approach to pressing issues, and backlash against what some…

Republicans have secured a majority in the U.S. Senate, yet the status of the House of Representatives remains unresolved as of Wednesday evening, with numerous critical races yet to be decided.

Republicans in North Carolina won three seats previously…

As Americans prepare to vote on November 5, 2024, the presidential race between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump remains close, with both candidates presenting vastly different visions for the country’s future.

In key battleground states, Trump appears to hold slight advantages in Arizona, Georgia, and North Carolina, suggesting these states may lean in his favor.

At a Las Vegas rally, Jennifer Lopez gave a fervent endorsement of Kamala Harris, taking a moment to denounce Donald Trump for his Madison Square Garden event, where speakers reportedly made racially charged comments.

The idea that the 2020 election was “stolen” has gained significant traction among many on the political right, even without supporting evidence and despite findings confirming the election’s fairness. Figures who attempt to debunk these theories often face backlash from Donald Trump and his allies. As Trump campaigns for another term, he’s setting up a framework to recycle claims of election interference post-November 5, reviving past allegations like large-scale voting by non-citizens, flaws in the voting process, and misunderstandings of election systems, often leveraging human errors to suggest fraud. A potential Trump win might channel these allegations towards down-ballot races,…

Vice President Kamala Harris made her final case for her presidential campaign on the Ellipse in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday, sharing an optimistic message focused on forward movement. With the White House as a backdrop, Harris created a contrast between her vision and that of former President Donald Trump, calling on voters to “turn the page” on his era and commit to prioritizing the country over partisan divisions. She described Trump as “unstable, obsessed with revenge, consumed with grievance, and seeking unchecked power,” accusing him of working to keep Americans divided and in fear. Harris also criticized Trump for his…

Speaking at a nearby park, Harris offered encouragement to a generation facing what it sees as existential challenges. “To all the young leaders, all the students…

The package includes advanced air defense missile systems, such as the National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile System (NASAMS) and radar technology, marking the first time these systems will be supplied to Taiwan. The deal, which is awaiting Congressional approval, was confirmed by the Pentagon on Friday.
