Past Trump advisers say he’s fascist. Trump says he’s not. Whom to trust?

by October 23, 2024

One of Donald Trump’s most effective and most useful tactics in rebuffing criticism has been to insist that any critic is operating in bad faith. There are no valid complaints about Trump, he insists, and there are no reliable complainers. Saying something critical of the former president means that you are not loyal to the former president and therefore that your criticism is tainted by your anti-Trump bias. Question-begging as political defense.

In close race that could tip House, candidates fight for the center

by October 23, 2024

CLACKAMAS COUNTY, Ore. — In a close contest that could determine control of the House of Representatives, a Republican incumbent and her Democratic challenger appear to be competing for an unlikely title: most centrist.

In Oregon’s 5th Congressional District, Republican Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer and state Rep. Janelle Bynum, her Democratic opponent, are both running as moderates, touting their bipartisan records and policymaking chops, while trying to cast each other as ineffective and extreme.

Biden spurs controversy by saying ‘We’ve got to lock him up’ about Trump

by October 23, 2024

CONCORD, N.H. — President Joe Biden sparked controversy Tuesday with a new attack line against former president Donald Trump, telling Democrats, “We’ve got to lock him up,” before moderating to suggest he meant figurative rather than literal incarceration.

After listing several dangers posed by a potential second Trump presidency at a Democratic Party campaign office here, Biden said: “I know this sounds bizarre. It sounds like, if I said this five years ago, you’d lock me up. We’ve got to lock him up.”

by October 22, 2024

The Georgia Supreme Court has declined to reinstate an array of rules approved this year by a pro-Trump majority of the state’s election board that a lower court judge had tossed last week after calling them unconstitutional and void.

Trump attacks Harris with racist stereotype, eyes ‘extreme power’ as president

by October 22, 2024

DORAL, Fla. — Republican nominee Donald Trump used a racist stereotype to attack Vice President Kamala Harris and described his desire to exercise “extreme power” as president during an event Tuesday that was billed as a summit to highlight his support among Latinos.

“I was going to hit her really hard on the trail today, but now I don’t have to, because she’s off,” Trump said of Harris, who is spending the day in Washington between campaign travel on the other days of the week. “You know why? She’s lazy as hell, and she’s got that reputation.”

Early-voting data shows Republican reversal appears to be paying off

by October 22, 2024

Americans are voting ahead of Election Day in historic numbers this year. That includes Republicans, who appear to be responding favorably to a new message from former president Donald Trump: It’s okay to vote early.

North Carolina approached 1.3 million Tuesday, the sixth day of early voting. . And in Nevada, Republicans voting in person have outnumbered Democrats — a reversal from four years ago.
