A woman who testified in the E. Jean Carroll case that Trump had groped her on an airplane in 1979 said his comments about her at a press event today show he’s “unraveling.””I really think it’s obvious that Trump is getting to the point that there is so much against him that he is unraveling in front of us and it is terribly unfortunate,” Jessica Leeds said in a statement after a press event where he attacked her and other women who’ve accused him of sexual misconduct.Leeds testified last year that Trump started kissing her and grabbing her breast after…
LAS VEGAS — Montana Sen. Steve Daines came to Vegas with an ask: The chair of the Senate GOP campaign arm wants more money to turn the chamber red.“We’ve got a great map, the best map in a decade,” Daines told a crowd of hundreds at the Republican Jewish Coalition Summit, an annual gathering of Jewish community leaders, donors, and GOP politicians.“Kamala Harris can’t do much of anything well [but] they do know how to raise money,” said Daines. “We need your help to close the fundraising gap,” he added, asking for donations.Talking to reporters after his speech, Daines broke…
Good morning. It is Saturday, Sept. 7, and no, this God-awful heat wave in L.A. isn’t over yet. Here’s what’s happening in Opinion.For the first time in his life, Donald Trump will be on TV without being the center of attention. Most people will be watching the person standing next to him. The eagerly awaited (and nearly canceled) presidential debate between him, the twice-impeached ex-commander in chief, and Kamala Harris, the vice president, is the last single event we can count on to influence this deadlocked election before ballots start being counted Nov. 5.After nine years of MAGA pageantry, this…
The Republican Party argues that the cured ballots should be invalid because private voter information was transmitted to the King County Auditor by a third party. OLYMPIA, Wash. — The Washington State Republican Party is suing King County elections after over 2,000 challenged ballots were cured using a third-party website. The lawsuit follows a hand recount of the closest primary race in Washington state history that saw a Republican candidate lose out on a spot running for Commissioner of Public Lands in the general election. Democrat Dave Upthegrove and Republican Sue Kuehl Pederson were separated by just 51 votes at…
Photo: Bill Clark/CQ-Roll Call/Getty Images It’s the stuff of #Resistance dreams: Kamala Harris, the prosecutor, gets onstage in Philadelphia next Tuesday across from Donald Trump, the felon, and proceeds to brutally expose him as a racist and sexist con man who’s been lying to the American people ever since his famous escalator ride nine years ago. Only that’s not how she or her debate-prep team sees her main objective for the debate — at all. In mock-debate sessions in Pittsburgh, planning meetings in Washington, and briefing-book cram sessions between public events on the campaign trail, the vice-president and her aides have kept much of their…
The public furor continues over Donald Trump’s behavior during a visit to Arlington National Cemetery on Aug. 26, 2024.Since that visit to the U.S. military burial ground outside Washington, D.C., news reports and campaign photos have emerged showing the former president grinning widely and giving a “thumbs-up” gesture while standing behind the grave of an American serviceman killed during the 2021 U.S. evacuation from Afghanistan. Visible in those images, too, are the graves of two U.S. Army Green Berets.The Trump campaign later released video showing images of him in Arlington National Cemetery with audio criticizing the Biden administration for its…
House Republicans on Friday unveiled legislation to avoid a partial government shutdown at the end of the month and fund the government until March 28, when a new president and Congress would be able to decide agency spending and priorities for the 2025 fiscal year.However, Republicans added a contentious immigration issue to the short-term spending bill, requiring states to obtain proof of citizenship, such as a birth certificate or passport, when people register to vote. Inclusion of the citizenship requirement is a nonstarter in the Senate, complicating prospects for the spending bill’s passage.At least one Republican, conservative Rep. Matt Rosendale…
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are veering sharply in how they gear up for Tuesday’s presidential debate, setting up a showdown that reflects not just two separate visions for the country but two politicians who approach big moments very differently. The vice president is cloistered in a historic hotel in downtown Pittsburgh where she can focus on honing crisp two-minute answers, per the debate’s rules. She’s been working with aides since Thursday and chose a venue that allows the Democratic nominee the option of mingling with swing-state voters.Trump, the Republican nominee, publicly dismisses the value of studying…
With only six weeks before voting begins in Washington’s November election, state Republican Party Chair Jim Walsh acknowledged that time is tight for his party’s legal challenge against recount results in the state lands commissioner primary. On Thursday, the party filed a lawsuit against King County over the use of an online system to aid voters in fixing, or “curing,” signature problems on their ballots, allowing them to be counted. With the lawsuit, the party is trying to get about 2,000 ballots invalidated – more than enough to potentially overturn the primary results. The party filed the suit in Snohomish…
