More newspapers are joining the Washington Post and the Los Angeles Times in not making an endorsement in this year's presidential election.

David Mastio, a conservative columnist at the Kansas City Star, announced on Twitter that he was "sad to report that USA TODAY is joining the Los Angeles Times and the Washington Post in not endorsing in the presidential race this year."

Nearly two years ago when Donald Trump announced his third run for the presidency, his daughter and longtime adviser Ivanka Trump said that she would remain on the sidelines.

She's kept her word and barely made an appearance. She joined her dad at the GOP convention in July, and again at a Madison Square Garden rally this month. She also testified at her father's New York fraud trial, though that was not a campaign event.

Vice President Kamala Harris will deliver her "Closing Argument" speech Tuesday evening at the Ellipse—the same Washington, D.C. park where Donald Trump held his "Save America" rally telling supporters to march to the Capitol on January 6, 2021, ahead of the insurrection.

Before her 7:30 PM ET event, the Vice President will be giving five interviews, according to campaign spokesperson Ian Sams: "Battleground TV interviews in Detroit, Milwaukee, Philadelphia, and Pittsburgh + Spanish radio in Pennsylvania to reach Latinos, including Puerto Ricans."

Former President Donald Trump called a last-minute press conference at his Mar-a-Lago home but was over an hour late to the event.

Trump revealed the event following a firestorm of criticism over racist and vulgar language used at his Madison Square Garden rally on Sunday.

Republican strategist Karl Rove criticized former President Donald Trump for complaining about being called a fascist just days before the November election.

During a Tuesday appearance on Fox News, Rove said Vice President Kamala Harris had been wrong to focus on retired Gen. John Kelly's insistence that Trump was a fascist.

The Republican-stacked Supreme Court of Arizona has shot down an attempt by Democratic Secretary of State Adrian Fontes to ensure an easier voting process in Pinal County, reported Votebeat Arizona on Tuesday.

In its ruling, "the court determined it is too late to force the county to follow the rule, which Secretary of State Adrian Fontes created in December 2023. It requires Arizona counties that assign voters to a specific polling place make it possible for voters to cast the correct ballot, even if they go to a site other than the one to which they’ve been assigned."

Former President Donald Trump refused Tuesday to denounce a campaign event comedian's comment that Puerto Rico is a "floating island of garbage," according to a new report.

Trump denied any responsibility for the racist and vulgar remarks Tony Hinchcliffe made at the former president's rally at Madison Square Garden on Sunday, ABC News reported.

Former President Donald Trump is wildly spreading fake rumors and hoaxes on his Truth Social platform as fast as he sees them, according to a new analysis from The New York Times.

A review of thousands of posts, or "Truths" as they are called on the site, reveals that "often multiple times a day, the former president is concocting or promoting dark, paranoid material and pushing it out to his millions of followers," the Times reported.

Former President Donald Trump's recent forays into contemplating Arnold Palmer's genitals and racist joke promotion represent dueling anxieties about manhood and his campaign's chances of victory, according to an expert on masculinity.

Jackson Katz — a scholar and activist who focuses on masculinity, politics and violence — spoke with Salon about male voters that Trump courted at a Madison Square Garden rally that featured Puerto Rico "garbage" jokes and the suggestion that Vice President Kamala Harris has pimps.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough flagged a remarkably racist remark made by a comedian at at Donald Trump's rally at Madison Square Garden that he said has seemingly flown under the radar.

Comedian Tony Hinchcliffe referred to Puerto Rico as "a floating island of garbage" and made insulting remarks about Black, Jewish , and Latino people, but the "Morning Joe" host was surprised one particular comment hadn't drawn as much scrutiny as others that prompted the Trump campaign to distance themselves from the comic.

J. Michael Luttig, a retired federal appellate judge widely considered to be the founder of the conservative legal movement that gave rise to the current far-right Supreme Court, is voting for Vice President Kamala Harris — the first time in 70 years he hasn't backed a Republican presidential candidate.

Luttig, who has grown increasingly outspoken against former President Trump in recent years over his incitement of insurrection on January 6 and who argued he wasn't even eligible to run for president again under the Insurrection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, already made this endorsement in August — but broke down his decision further in an op-ed published in The New York Times on Tuesday.

Although tech website The Verge isn't typically known for its political views, its editor-in-chief has nonetheless decided to write an endorsement for Vice President Kamala Harris.

The Verge's Nillay Patel highlights a number of reasons why Trump will not be a good president should he get a second term in office, and he uses his own knowledge of the tech industry to argue that Trump is uniquely unqualified to handle what he deems "collective action problems."
