There’s that adage in sports: It’s a long season. Politically speaking, Trump and his team know this—the Democrats do not. The latter thinks one home run or touchdown is the game’s end. Nope. There are multiple innings or quarters in a national campaign. It’s a marathon, not a sprint—and Donald Trump’s come-from-behind legal victory last week proved that the Teflon Don moniker holds. In other words, last week was the Democrats’ 28-3 moment.  After multiple indictments and four...

Vice President Harris and former President Trump are preparing for one of the biggest moments in this year’s election campaign — their first, and perhaps only, TV debate. The clash will take place in Philadelphia on Tuesday, hosted by ABC News and moderated by David Muir and Linsey Davis. The debate could be pivotal in a race that remains extremely close.  In the polling averages maintained by The Hill and Decision Desk HQ (DDHQ), Harris is leading by almost four points...

Mike Johnson has spent the first 10 months of his speakership balancing the needs of the House Republican majority with the demands of his rebellious right flank. Now he faces one final legislative test before he asks GOP lawmakers to let him keep the gavel next year: A September spending fight. With a government shutdown deadline looming on Oct. 1, Johnson has two choices: Lean into conservative priorities and risk chaos weeks before the election, or work on a bipartisan basis to keep...

Genius is often described as the ability to see a new way forward, to advance a discipline in a manner that transcends old, stuffy definitions and ushers us into brave new worlds. On this score, Kamala Harris’ press pool is very deserving of just and proper recognition. This is why I believe that the Harris press pool members should receive a Pulitzer Prize for their unique approach this election cycle, in which the candidate is never asked any questions relevant to being president, but...

Shrinkflation is hitting American homebuyers hard, especially in the South, as a recent study found people are now paying more for smaller properties. An analysis conducted by USA Today/Homefront using data from Realtor.com found that the median American home is now 128 square feet smaller than five years ago, and yet it costs $125,000 more. Shrinkflation, by definition, is what happens when companies reduce a product's amount or volume per unit without changing its retail...

Republicans and Democrats released dueling documents on the deadly August 2021 US withdrawal from Afghanistan on Monday, with Republicans accusing President Joe Biden of demanding a US exit no matter the cost and claiming his administration prioritized optics over personnel security. The reports come as former President Donald Trump’s campaign seeks to make the decisions surrounding the exit a key issue in the final weeks before the presidential election. Republicans in...

Gang members and scammers using dead people’s names were applying to be sponsors for President Biden’s fraud-riddled immigration “parole” program that has welcomed hundreds of thousands of migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela, The Washington Times has learned. The program was also starved of staffing, leaving it unable to track down all the fraud, according to the government’s internal audit, which said the program was “well-intentioned” but became a means for...

Tuesday's debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump will provide another defining moment in an eventful and tight presidential campaign. With less than two months until Election Day, it's a high-stakes night for both candidates, where their words and debate style will be put to the test. The BBC's Courtney Subramanian looks at the strengths and weaknesses of each.

When Donald Trump takes the debate stage on Tuesday, he will doubtless again try to disavow Project 2025, the radically conservative blueprint spearheaded by the Heritage Foundation for the next Republican administration. We shouldn’t let him. Seventy-eight percent of the contributors to the effort were members of his last administration and many of them are likely appointees to his next team if he’s re-elected. As the old Washington saying goes, “personnel is policy.” The group of...
