2024 Elections

Sen. J.D. Vance's claims that his family received private health insurance because of Donald Trump is technically true — but only because the former president failed, according to experts interviewed by the Washington Post.

Vance's mother's ability to purchase private health insurance amid addiction recovery on the Affordable Care Act marketplace reflects the victory of another former president — Barack Obama — and Trump's inability to knock it down, experts told the Post Saturday.

Former President Donald Trump's reported success with a key voting bloc has political experts raising skeptical eyebrows, according to a new report.

The narrative that Trump has been garnering surging support among Black men under 50 doesn't hold up under closer examination of the polls, experts told Salon on Saturday.

The race for the U.S. presidency is a nail-biter, so two Kamala Harris supporters have taken matters into their own manicured hands and launched a line of nail polishes themed around viral moments from the Democratic campaign.

"We wanted something that was playful and fun, something that was approachable" for people who are not highly engaged in politics, said Amy Rosenthal, co-founder of "Colors for Kamala."

Millions of dollars have poured into bets on who will win the US election after a last-minute court ruling opened up gambling on the vote, upping the stakes on a too-close-to-call race that has already put voters on edge.

Contracts for a Harris victory were trading between 48 and 50 percent in favor of the Democrat on Friday on Interactive Brokers, a firm that has taken advantage of a legal opening created earlier this month in the country's long running regulatory battle over election markets.

Democratic candidate Kamala Harris will release a medical report Saturday confirming her fitness to be president, her campaign said, aiming to put pressure on rival Donald Trump to publish his own health records.

An adviser to 59-year-old Harris's campaign said the report would conclude: "She possesses the physical and mental resiliency required to successfully execute the duties of the presidency."

Former President Donald Trump's campaign bluster, despite a tight race against Vice President Kamala Harris, reveals a subtle strategy that his opponent is already using against him, according to a new report.

Trump's campaign is purposefully hitting a victory party tone while avoiding high-profile events such as national debates that would directly position Harris, 59, against the 78-year-old Republican presidential nominee, the Washington Post reported Saturday.

North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper (D) slapped back at Donald Trump after the former president accused him without evidence of blocking hurricane relief aid in his state.

Cooper took to X Friday afternoon to publicly respond to the former president's claim that he had colluded with the White House to stop relief funds and aid workers from reaching victims of Hurricane Helene.

Former President Donald Trump revealed Friday a new plan to help Americans affected by two recent and catastrophic hurricanes — and prepare for future ones.

Trump explained the nuances of his plan to help the nation in a 140-word Truth Social post.

Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) was caught blaming Democrats for something Donald Trump's own campaign is participating in, according to a new report.

In a New York Times interview, Vance was asked about the 2020 election result five times — and refused to say that Trump either won or lost.

The youth are not being brainwashed — they just don't appreciate lies, a New York Times columnist told a slew of Republicans on Friday.

Opinion writer Jamelle Bouie issued a stern fact check to Montana senatorial candidate Tim Sheehy, Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) and X CEO Elon Musk over recent claims that college students are "indoctrinated" to believe in liberal values.

Donald Trump's campaign asked for military aircraft and vehicles to transport the former president during the final weeks of the presidential race.

Campaign manager Susie Wiles sent emails over the past two weeks to Secret Service acting director Ronald L. Rowe Jr. expressing displeasure with the agency and complaining that security concerns for the GOP nominee had hindered his campaign schedule, and campaign officials and Rep. Michael Waltz (R-FL) asked the agency to provide military aircraft or additional protection for his private plane, reported the Washington Post.
