2024 Elections

Republican vice presidential nominee J.D. Vance vowed Wednesday to deport Haitians who were in the U.S. legally.

During a rally in Raleigh, North Carolina, a reporter asked about Vance's recent attacks on Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio, who were granted Temporary Protected Status, or TPS.

A former speechwriter for President George W. Bush penned a column for The Atlantic that detailed a surprising flop from the campaign of former President Donald Trump.

Writing Wednesday, David Frum said, "Rarely, if ever, has a presidential campaign collapsed from seeming assurance into utter chaos as Trump-Vance has."

Former President Donald Trump called on Republicans to shut down the federal government unless a funding bill included a measure that would add an additional barrier to voter registration.

"If Republicans don't get the SAVE Act, and every ounce of it, they should not agree to a Continuing Resolution in any way, shape, or form," the Republican nominee wrote on his Truth Social platform Wednesday.

Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank's new book is set to be released next week and it focuses on the massive dysfunction that has taken over Republican-led House of Representatives under Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA).

In an excerpt published in The Post, Milbank recalls Johnson's bizarre comments that he was hearing voices directly from God about how he would become Speaker of the House. The conversation was being streamed online.

The immigration chart Republicans credit with saving former President Donald Trump's life was subjected to a thorough fact check in the House of Representatives.

The chart in question was being displayed by Trump at the rally in Pennsylvania back in July that saw an assassin nearly miss shooting the president in the head, and many analysts have said that shots may have fatally struck the former president were it not for the chart's presence.

Pollster Quinnipiac has released a new set of polls taken in the key Rust Belt swing states of Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin, and they contain some bad news for the former president.

According to Quinnipiac, Harris holds a six-point lead over Trump in Pennsylvania, a five-point led over Trump in Michigan, and a statistically insignificant one-point lead in Wisconsin.

The New York Times has done a deep dive into the medical beliefs of anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist and newly minted Trump ally Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., and has found many medical officials are raising major red flags about his potential appointment to a public health position.

Among other things, notes the Times, Kennedy in the past has suggested that "H.I.V. is not the true cause of AIDS, that 5G networks are being used for mass surveillance and that Black Americans in particular should avoid being vaccinated."

A panel of young undecided voters Wednesday told the New York Times they're fed up with former President Donald Trump's campaign and his surprisingly "weak" new demeanor.

The group of 14 shared their views on Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris after the presidential debate and about one month after checking in with the Times in August, according to the report.

Sen. J.D. Vance faced backlash Wednesday after a Wall Street Journal investigation revealed former President Donald Trump's running mate knew there was no reason to believe Haitian immigrants were eating pets in Springfield, Ohio — but shared the story anyway.

Springfield city manager Bryan Heck told the Journal that he told a Vance staffer "point blank" the claims were baseless on Sept. 9 — the same day the Ohio Republican posted the claim on X, where it remained as of Wednesday morning — and sparked a backlash from critics.

Republicans in Georgia who helped former President Donald Trump push lies about the 2020 election being "stolen" have been planning to do so again, according to newly unearthed emails.

The Guardian reports that the emails reveal a "behind-the-scenes network of county election officials throughout Georgia" who are "coordinating on policy and messaging to both call the results of November’s election into question before a single vote is cast, and push rules and procedures favored by the election denial movement."

The New York Times has garnered criticism over the year for its reporting on Donald Trump and the 2024 election. On Wednesday, that criticism led to in-person protests outside the building.

Readers left online complaints and cancelled subscriptions before direct protests began. Their demand, according to one civil rights lawyer, is to stop "sane-washing" Trump.
