US Christian right celebrates after prophecy of Trump win comes to passAt a Republican watch party early Tuesday evening in the Milwaukee suburbs, Dimitra Anderson, a 64-year-old bellydancer, clutched her boa constrictor – a pet that travels with her everywhere – and issued a confident proclamation: “I’m ecstatic because I believe he’s going to win in a tidal wave.” ‘Red’ US states pass progressive laws while ‘blue’ states vote for conservative measures The night was young, no swing states had been called yet, but Anderson, who describes herself as a born-...0 Комментарии 0 Поделились

Why Kamala Harris lost: A flawed candidate or doomed campaign?Nearly a month ago, Kamala Harris appeared on ABC's The View in what was expected to be a friendly interview aimed at pitching herself to Americans who wanted to know more about her. But the sit-down was quickly overshadowed by her response to a question on what she would have done differently from incumbent president, Joe Biden: "Not a thing comes to mind." Harris's answer - which became a Republican attack ad on loop - underscored the political headwinds that her jumpstart campaign...0 Комментарии 0 Поделились

Democrats should blame the media for Harris' lossThe media could have prevented this by being honest. They were not up to the challenge. As much as it makes me feel old to say it, I have been watching Joe Biden's career in politics for over 30 years. Once, in an incident that is, unbelievably, almost 20 years old, I had a front-row seat to the Joe Biden show. The year was 2007, and I was working for former Kansas Senator (and later Governor) Sam Brownback during his abortive run for the 2008 Republican nomination. I was in the Des...0 Комментарии 0 Поделились

One striking pattern hidden in the election resultsKamala Harris lost the presidential election and Democrats lost control of the Senate. But when you zoom in on the details of that result, there’s a striking pattern: Democratic Senate candidates are outperforming Harris. Or, put another way, Republican Senate candidates are doing worse than Trump. In recent years, the outcome of a state’s US Senate race has increasingly matched the outcome of its simultaneous presidential race. Ticket-splitting has decreased in our era of...0 Комментарии 0 Поделились

Winners and losers from the presidential electionThe 2024 presidential election is in the books after a tumultuous campaign culminated in a stunning political comeback for former President Trump. Trump will take office again in January, a little more than four years since the Capitol Riot of Jan. 6, 2021 was widely assumed to have ended his political career. He will become the first president since Grover Cleveland in the late 19th century to serve nonconsecutive terms. Vice President Harris called Trump to concede on Wednesday and...0 Комментарии 0 Поделились

Raskin Didn’t Say He ‘Won’t Be Certifying the Election’In the days leading up to Election Day, a supposed quote from Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland began spreading on social media, sometimes under the label of “breaking,” as in breaking news. No source was cited for the quote, and Raskin, in a Nov. 5 post on X, said it was “fabricated.” The bogus quote read: “Let folks cast their votes for Trump if that’s their choice. But mark my words, we won’t be certifying the election. He might win, but we’ll ensure...0 Комментарии 0 Поделились

Judge in Trump’s ‘hush money’ trial considers tossing felony conviction after election winThe Manhattan judge who oversaw Donald Trump’s hush-money criminal trial will now consider whether to toss the president-elect’s historic felony conviction before he re-returns to the White House. Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan had already delayed sentencing by more than four months to come after the election — and has given himself until Tuesday to decide if the conviction should still stand, CNN said. He will face intense pressure from the president-elect’s legal team who...0 Комментарии 0 Поделились

Trump Dodged the Law. Here’s Who to Blame.We have just witnessed the greatest failure of federal law enforcement in American history. The reasons for Donald Trump’s reelection are numerous and will be hotly debated in the weeks ahead. But the story of his comeback cannot be told without seriously grappling with how he managed to outrun four criminal cases, including — most notably — the Justice Department’s prosecution over Trump’s alleged effort to overturn the 2020 election. At the root of it all are the considerable and...0 Комментарии 0 Поделились

Obama Reacts to Trump's Shellacking of Kamala HarrisIf there is one true thing, we had a preview of the 2024 results when Barack Obama and Joe Biden were caught having a frank discussion about the state of the election at Ethel Kennedy’s funeral in late October. By then, it was too late to turn anything around for Kamala Harris, though the same could be said for any struggling campaign. The two men were obviously talking about the vice president, with Obama stating that she wasn’t as strong as him. It took hours, but Obama finally...0 Комментарии 0 Поделились
