President Joe Biden looked to recapture his mojo and reassured donors at a Saturday fundraiser in New Jersey hosted by Gov. Phil Murphy that he is fully up to the challenge of beating Donald Trump.“I didn’t have a great night, but I’m going to be fighting harder,” Biden told about 50 people who gathered in a tent at the back patio of Murphy’s Middletown house, overlooking the Navesink River.“Donald Trump is a genuine threat to the nation,” Biden emphasized, saying that his predecessor would undermine democracy if returned to the White House and his economic ideas would worsen inflation.The 81-year-old’s…
Anna Moneymaker/Getty Images Former President Donald Trump speaks during a rally at Greenbrier Farms on June 28, 2024, in Chesapeake, Virginia. CNN — Top advisers to Donald Trump are plotting an overhaul of the Republican Party platform that will dramatically slash its size and refocus the GOP around the former president’s agenda for a second term. A memo from Trump campaign managers Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles dated Thursday criticized past platforms as too long and too heavily influenced by special interests and outside groups. A “clear, concise and easily digestible” platform will be easier for voters to understand and…

More than half a century ago, an embattled Democratic president decided unexpectedly not to run for reelection. The month was March, the year was 1968, and the president was Lyndon B. Johnson.The fight to replace Johnson led to discord and violence. The Democratic National Convention in Chicago brought tumult inside the convention hall and bloody clashes between police and anti-Vietnam War demonstrators in the streets. The party nominated Johnson’s vice president, Hubert Humphrey, but Democrats left Chicago divided and demoralized. The result was the election of Republican Richard M. Nixon.No one is suggesting anything close to a rerun of those…

CNN moderator Dana Bash wanted to know how Donald Trump would fight climate change — the existence of which Trump has repeatedly questioned over decades in business and as president despite the voluminous scientific evidence to the contrary.But Trump had a few other things on his mind.“Well, let me just go back to what he said about the police, how close the police are to him,” Trump said in reference to President Biden — before talking about how many police groups had endorsed him; how the Trump administration passed an economic development package called opportunity zones; how his administration passed…

For 50 years, Americans counted on Roe v. Wade to protect not only the right to abortion, but the ability to receive lifesaving care for miscarriages and the chance to build families through fertility care. Roe was never perfect. For too many, it was a right in name only – a right that slipped increasingly out of reach as Republicans chipped away at abortion access in states across the country. Then, two years ago, anti-abortion Supreme Court justices handpicked by Donald Trump overturned Roe once and for all. Today, forty percent of women of reproductive age live in a state…
For the past year, at least, the so-called wisest Democrats in Washington have not simply been telling me that President Biden is a strong candidate for president, or even their best candidate — but also that he is the only candidate who can possibly beat Donald Trump, because he is the only one who has done it before.This was always a childlike rationale. Trump has only beaten one very flawed Democrat, and his party has lost every national election since, so it’s not like you have to be the love child of Lyndon Johnson and Margaret Thatcher to have a…
