A journalist and women's rights activist hit back against Gov. Sarah Huckabee's Sanders — who attacked Vice President Kamala Harris this week, saying Harris has nothing keeping her "humble" because she doesn't have biological children — and revealed her theory as to what's driving the GOP's "offensive" attacks.

Gretchen Carlson, an author and advocate for women's rights known for her role in the #MeToo movement following her high-profile sexual harassment lawsuit against Fox News chairman Roger Ailes, told CNN anchor Anderson Cooper that the parents of stepchildren are the real people who deserve a so-called "humble award."

A New York Times columnist remarked Wednesday evening that former President Donald Trump and his running mate have no plans to give up their "fear-driven" arguments, as they've found "longer-term utility in keeping this narrative going" — and they align with Trump's "nativist aspirations."

Charles Blow noted it's been over a week since Trump amplified at the debate the baseless and racist conspiracy theory that Haitian immigrants are abducting and eating pets in Springfield, Ohio.

An MSNBC panel left with more questions than answers after former first lady Melania Trump posted a video Wednesday that hit back at those criticizing her nude modeling.

Speaking about it, the panel weighed in that their confusion wasn't over Melania Trum's nudity so much as the Republican's opposition to anything similar.

Former President Donald Trump has put House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) in an impossible position with his demand to either pass an already-dead government funding bill laden with provisions to make it harder to vote or let the government shut down.

That's according to CNN congressional correspondent Manu Raju, who spoke with CNN anchor Jake Tapper on Wednesday.

Former President Donald Trump said it was "a great honor" after the International Brotherhood of Teamsters declined to endorse a presidential candidate for the 2024 election.

While visiting a Bitcoin bar in New York City on Wednesday, Trump was asked about the trade union's decision not to issue an endorsement.

Former first lady Melania Trump spurred confusion Wednesday when she declared her outrage that the press would not stop asking about the nude photos taken of her as a professional model — which she compared to the works of Paul Cézanne and Michelangelo.

Mrs. Trump explained her decision to pose naked in a promotional video (which included a photo array of famous nude portraits) for her soon-to-be released memoirs, and despite her professed frustration with the media's interest.

Trump-backed election officials in Georgia are rewriting the rules of how to certify elections in a way that would let Stop the Steal activists obstruct the results — and now, Georgia's Republican Secretary of State is getting involved to try to put a stop to it, New York Times reporter Nick Corasaniti told MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace on Wednesday.

Brad Raffensperger, a dedicated conservative, has frequently clashed with former President Donald Trump over his conspiracy theories about the 2020 election being stolen. Trump's phone call demanding Raffensperger "find" extra votes for him is also a focus of multiple criminal cases against the former president.

Election workers are less worried former President Donald Trump will prosecute them if he wins the November election and more worried they'll be physically attacked if he loses, according to a new report.

The New York Times interviewed more than two dozen election officials and democracy experts nationwide and discovered they're not impressed with Trump's threats or his tactics.

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."

The Federal Reserve's decision Wednesday to slash interest rates spurred an outpouring of jokes about how former President Donald Trump would respond.

Experts say the Fed's move to slash rates by half a percentage point suggests inflation is easing — and comedians on X predict Trump will be outraged to lose one of his most powerful lines of attack against Vice President Kamala Harris.

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.
