The Democratic National Committee used Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance’s alma mater of Ohio State against him in a highly unconventional campaign ad on Saturday.The DNC flew a plane with a banner around Michigan’s football stadium as the team was gearing up to play against the University of Texas.The banner read “JD Vance 🧡 Ohio State + Project 2025.”Vance graduated from Ohio State with a Bachelor of Arts degree before going on to graduate from Yale’s law school.In July, during Vance’s Republican National Convention acceptance speech, Vance joked with the crowd as they began chanting O-H-I-O at the beginning…
Delaware’s most prominent elected official, President Joe Biden, may have upended the presidential race in July when he dropped his bid for a second term, but it’s the impending departures of two other prominent Democratic officeholders, Gov. John Carney and U.S. Sen. Tom Carper, that are having ripple effects throughout the ballot in Tuesday’s state primaries. Carney will leave statewide office next year after two terms as governor, two terms as lieutenant governor and three terms as the state’s lone representative to the U.S. House. His departure has set off contested primaries for both the Democratic and Republican nominations. The Democratic candidates are Lt. Gov. Bethany…
Lisa Rubin, an MSNBC legal correspondent and former litigator, wrote on Saturday in an opinion column that former President Donald Trump’s handling of the E. Jean Carroll cases align with what she calls the “twin pillars” of his messaging: “martyrdom and misogyny.”Trump, the GOP’s presidential nominee, attended an appeals hearing in Manhattan on Friday regarding the first of two civil cases brought by Carroll. In May 2023, a jury found Trump liable for sexual abuse and defamation, awarding Carroll $5 million. In a separate case concluded in January 2024, the former president was ordered to pay Carroll an additional $83.3…
CNN — On the last Saturday of July, with the presidential race in flux from an unthinkable month of turmoil, Donald Trump looked out at an overflowing St. Cloud, Minnesota, crowd and predicted he could accomplish what no Republican presidential candidate had managed in nearly half a century. “I’m telling you, if we have an honest election, we’re going to blow it out in Minnesota,” the former president said. But since that bold declaration, Trump hasn’t returned to the Gopher State. His running mate JD Vance, on stage with him that evening, hasn’t either. Nor have Minnesotans seen Trump campaign…
WASHINGTON — House Republicans unveiled on Friday their legislation to avoid a partial government shutdown at the end of the month and fund the government into late March, when a new president and Congress would make the final decision on agency spending and priorities for fiscal year 2025.Republicans are also adding a hot-button immigration issue to the measure by requiring states to obtain proof of citizenship, such as a birth certificate or passport, when someone registers to vote. Inclusion of the citizenship requirement is a nonstarter in the Senate, complicating prospects for the spending bill’s passage.Lawmakers are returning to Washington…

Elise Stefanik has filed an ethics complaint against New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan “for his illegal conflict of interest in the sham Manhattan trial against President Trump,” alleging the Harris campaign has a “newly active financial relationship” with a company led in part by his daughter.The filing with the New York State Commission on Judicial Conduct came on the same day that Merchan decided to postpone Trump’s sentencing in New York v. Trump until after the November presidential election. Trump was found guilty in an unprecedented criminal trial on all 34 counts of falsifying business records in the first…
