CNN — Former President Donald Trump’s campaign sent a letter Thursday to the Commission on Presidential Debates asking for this year’s general election debates to take place “much earlier” and calling for more of them to be added to the schedule. “While the Commission on Presidential Debates has already announced three presidential debates and a vice-presidential debate to occur later this year, we are in favor of these debates beginning much earlier,” Trump campaign managers Susie Wiles and Chris…
Senate Republicans voted to override nine of Gov. Tony Evers’ vetoes Tuesday, rekindling fierce debates over partisan issues with the 2024 election on the horizon. Among the bills that Evers had vetoed was one that would spell out how to spend $125 million to combat PFAS, a requirement to include people’s citizenship status on their voter IDs and a cap on the state’s wolf population. Republicans had signaled a day earlier that they could take up dozens of overrides, arguing that Evers was stopping important legislative changes from going through. They ultimately brought forward nine, each of which was passed…

— Republican elected officials from the state level all the way up to the U.S. Senate are refusing to say that they’ll accept or certify the result of the election this fall if Donald Trump doesn’t win. Multiple Republican members of Congress have asserted that only the House of Representatives should decide the presidential election this year (which would throw the election to Trump regardless of who the voters or Electoral College choose).— In multiple states, Republicans have passed laws allowing them to manipulate and change the location of polling places, criminalize voter registration drives, replace Democratic and nonpartisan election…

At the same time, Democratic President Joe Biden and Republican rival Donald Trump hope to project strength in low-stakes presidential primaries, while further down the ballot, two congressional candidates on opposite sides of the 2021 Capitol attack serve as a stark reminder that the nation remains deeply divided over the deadly insurrection. In all, three states are hosting statewide primary elections on Tuesday — Maryland, Nebraska and West Virginia — as Republicans and Democrats pick their…
Former President Trump has repeatedly promised an Iron Dome missile defense system to protect the United States if he returns to the presidency. Experts say it would be a far cry from what’s used in Israel. In his pledge, first made in December and repeated at least twice at campaign stops since, Trump said he would work to build “the greatest dome of them all” due to “a lot of hostile people out there.” But experts say a promise to build something like the Israeli defense system, but better and over the entire continental United States, would come with an…

CNN — “Just do it.” With three short words, more famous for selling sports gear than exposing conspiracies, star witness Michael Cohen on Monday depicted Donald Trump’s order of a hush money payoff to an adult film star to allegedly save his 2016 campaign. Prosecutors will seek to build on his testimony when he returns to the stand Tuesday to nail down their case that the ex-president broke the law by falsifying financial records to hide the pay-off in the culmination of a scheme to mislead voters. All that will be a curtain raiser for what is looming as a…
