CNN — The stakes for Democrats in their extraordinary public schism over whether President Joe Biden should withdraw from the 2024 presidential race extend far beyond the White House. A decisive loss at the top of the ticket could cost Democrats control of the US Senate for the remainder of this decade and cement Republican dominance of the Supreme Court for a generation. So far, Democratic anxiety about the presidential race’s impact on the Senate has been muted because public polling has almost invariably shown their candidates still leading in the key states where Biden has fallen behind former President…

Wade. What You Need To Know Republicans may remove a vow to ban abortion from their party platform for the first time in 40 years at the behest of former President Donald Trump Trump’s campaign wants the group drafting this year’s platform to produce a shorter document without statements favored by many conservatives…
GOP voters will make a choice between two of the most dissimilar legislators currently serving Arizona in the Republican primary for the state Senate seat representing Legislative District 7 when they choose between Sen. Wendy Rogers, of Flagstaff and Rep. David Cook, of Globe. Legislative District 7 covers portions of Gila, Pinal, Coconino and Navajo counties. While Rogers, who has served Legislative District 7 since 2021, built a national profile on election denialism after former President Donald Trump lost the 2020 election, Cook is more moderate throwback to what Republican elected officials were like before Trump dominated the GOP.

President Joe Biden called in to MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” Monday as he looks to turn the tide on mounting criticism from members of his own party and do more “off-the-cuff,” unscripted engagements to quell concerns about his age. A defiant Biden pledged he wasn’t going anywhere and derided those Democrats calling for him to step down as part of the “elite.” Biden offered a confusing response to a question about his letter to Hill Democrats calling for unity, lambasting former President Donald Trump for being on the golf course after the debate. Trump has largely stayed under the radar while…
The Donald Trump presidential campaign is promising that their candidate will outline a vision for a “new golden age for America” at the Republican National Convention. That communique details the plan for the four-day event in Milwaukee from July 15 through July 18, described as “the ‘Make America Great Once Again’ Convention.” Principals with the campaign and the Republican National Committee are, as one would expect, trumpeting the event as one that will propel the former President back into the White House next January. “From the beginning of President Donald J. Trump’s campaign to Make America Great Again, we’ve received an outpouring of…

As NATO gathers for its 75th anniversary summit in Washington this week, President Biden is taking credit for the fact that European allies and Canada have increased defense spending by hundreds of billions of dollars and warning that, if elected, Donald Trump will “eviscerate NATO.”In fact, Trump, not Biden, is responsible for most of that spending increase. In 2006, allies pledged to spend at least 2 percent of their gross domestic product on defense, but when Trump took office a decade later, only three were meeting their commitment, and spending by non-U.S. members had dropped to an all-time low of…
NEW YORK (AP) — Donald Trump ‘s campaign says it outraised President Joe Biden in the year’s second quarter, with a reported haul of $331 million.That number bests the $264 million that Biden’s reelection campaign and the Democratic National Committee reported raising over the same period earlier Tuesday, eliminating Biden’s cash advantage and potentially undercutting Biden’s efforts to calm fears within his party after last week’s disastrous debate performance, which has prompted calls for him to step aside.Trump’s total includes $111.8 million that the campaign says it raised in June. That sum is less than the $127 million Biden reported…
COLUMBIA, S.C. (WCSC) – Since the overturn of Roe v. Wade two years ago, more than a dozen states have enacted bans on abortion from conception.There has not been enough support within South Carolina’s state legislature to impose as restrictive a measure as that, with the state instead implementing a ban from about six weeks into a pregnancy.The issue of abortion didn’t come up in a substantial way this year at the State House, for the first time in a long time.But the loss of the state’s only three female Republican senators, who played an integral role in blocking a…
