The two candidates are statistically neck and neck in North Carolina, Utah, Arizona, Minnesota and Georgia. A North Carolina poll, released Tuesday and conducted by Meeting Street Insights, showed that 45 percent of those surveyed said they would vote for Trump and 45 percent for Biden. The same poll showed that 42 percent of voters have a favorable view of the former vice president, while 48 percent had an unfavorable view....
Navarro makes the claim in his new book Taking Back Trump’s America: Why We Lost the White House and How We’ll Win It Back, which will be published later this month. In the book Navarro recounts an attempt to fire Kushner from the campaign that also involved Home Depot co-founder and Republican donor Bernie Marcus. Trump, his son Donald Trump Jr. and Marcus supported replacing Kushner with Steve Bannon, a former White House adviser who had been a major figure in Trump’s 2016 campaign....
On the eve of the holiday, the former president vowed that the country’s founders “will never be purged from history or canceled from our hearts,” according to conservative news network Newsmax. “Tomorrow we will celebrate 245 years of glorious American Independence: It will not be canceled, by the way,” Trump told the crowd during the “Save America” rally on Saturday evening. He added: “We will teach young people across the country that George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson....
“We’ll do something, but not just yet,” Trump told the Washington Examiner on Friday as he dined in the Grill Room of the Trump International Golf Club in Florida. An aide to the former president quickly stepped in and ended the conversation. The short remark was his first to a reporter since President Joe Biden’s inauguration on Wednesday. Trump skipped the inauguration of his successor and flew to Joint Base Andrews in Maryland early on January 20, where he addressed a crowd of around 200 people for about 10 minutes....
Trump will first visit New Hampshire, a key early voting state in the presidential primaries, where he will speak at the annual meeting of the state’s Republican Party in Salem. The trip comes as Special Counsel Jack Smith continues his investigation into Trump’s handling of classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida. Smith, a career prosecutor, was appointed by Attorney General Merrick Garland to weigh whether charges should be brought....
Since then, Trump has been sharing several Instagram photos and stories, including one with the words “Guns don’t kill people, Alec Baldwin kills people”, emblazoned on it. The T-shirts are selling in blue, black and green for $27.99 each. Trump, 43, shared another Instagram story showing a photoshopped image of Baldwin wearing the same T-shirt. On Sunday, Trump shared a meme of Homer Simpson that said “Let’s all watch Alex Baldwin blame the gun....
According to the Reuters/Ipsos poll, 73 percent of Republicans approved of Trump’s foreign policy and 75 percent approved of how he is tackling Islamic State, the militant group that had established a now-defunct quasi-state across parts of Syria and Iraq. While those numbers are high, they are down 6 points and 8 points respectively from April after several Republican lawmakers publicly criticized Trump for his actions on Syria, including South Carolina GOP Senator Lindsey Graham, who regularly supports the president in the media....
Accusing Trump of weaponizing “racism and bigotry,” Green suggested that the president’s comparison of the impeachment process to “a lynching,” a deadly act that has seen thousands of African Americans targeted in racist mob killings, made the U.S. leader “no better” than the Nazis or members of the Ku Klux Klan. “I rise today with a heavy heart and tears welling in my eyes, I rise. I rise because how dare the president compare lynching to impeachment,” Green said in his impassioned speech from the House floor....
On November 15, the former president confirmed he would be running for a third time following his previous victory in 2016 and subsequent loss to Joe Biden in the 2020 election. While Trump was for years considered to be the most powerful force in the GOP, it remains to be seen if he can continue to fight the constant battles he looks set to face for two more years in his quest to return to the White House....
I could have made up an answer, just to avoid a potentially tense situation. But I answered honestly, “I’m an advocate for gay and lesbian families.” He looked confused so I gave him a little more information. “I talk and write about the experiences of children growing up with gay and lesbian parents.” I travel frequently for my job, so I’ve been in this situation before. In the best cases, answering this question opens the door to a discussion, regardless of whether the person supports the idea of gay parents raising children....
The stern words from the former Democratic leader who retired in 2017 come as multiple polls show nearly every Democratic 2020 candidate coming in ahead of Trump in a general election. “If anyone thinks Trump can’t be reelected, they better get another thing coming. He can be reelected,” said Reid, before adding, “hope to hell he isn’t.” Reid also took the time to admonish his former Republican colleagues in the Senate for what he called their fear of the president....
Amid a breakout season at Monaco, Mbappe is reportedly one of the most sought-after talents in European football. Having already rejected the opportunity to join Madrid’s youth team in 2013, the 18-year-old is believed to again be a target for the LaLiga heavyweights, who are coached by former France star Zinedine Zidane. But Pires has cautioned the exciting striker against leaving Ligue 1 at this stage of his burgeoning career....
Such overt virtue-signaling was silly to many, and was met with near universal eye-rolling. Still, “amen” is a useful word used by Christian and Jewish worshipers for centuries to end their prayers. It is derived from ancient Hebrew, meaning “so be it.” That three letters appear in sequence to reflect a word used to identify gender is less the work of the “patriarchy” than it is the work of religious patriarchs over the millennia....
Salah failed to shine when he moved to the Blues from Basel in 2014, spending time on loan at Fiorentina and Roma, before signing for the Giallorossi in 2016. Liverpool parted with a fee that could rise to €50 million to bring the 25-year-old to Merseyside in June. And he has repaid that outlay by netting an extraordinary 43 goals in all competitions, firing the Reds to the Champions League final in the process....
The president and first lady walked onto the field alongside the ROTC members from LSU and Clemson, the teams competing for college football’s top prize at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome on Monday. While walking with the ROTC, the Trumps stopped to wave at the USA-chanting crowd while ROTC members continued marching to designated spots. The president and Melania found their designated spots next to the ROTC members and held their right hands over their hearts for the national anthem in what’s considered to be friendly territory for them....
The president also criticized Raffensperger’s brother, saying he works for China. That is inaccurate. “I love the Great State of Georgia, but the people who run it, from the Governor, @BrianKempGA, to the Secretary of State, are a complete disaster and don’t have a clue, or worse. Nobody can be this stupid. Just allow us to find the crime, and turn the state Republican,” Trump wrote. “Now it turns out that Brad R’s brother works for China, and they definitely don’t want ‘Trump’....
Speaking to local TV station KY3, Sen. Hawley (R-MO) said Trump talked to him about the importance of keeping Sen. Blunt’s Missouri seat in the “Republican column” as the GOP seeks to overturn the Democratic Senate majority. He also said that he “absolutely” believed that Republicans would be able to hold on to the seat next year. “I have talked to the former president about this, he called me about it in fact,” Hawley told KY3....
But John Roberts, the chief White House correspondent at Fox News and the target of Trump’s criticism, pointed out that the network had, in fact, carried the speech in full on Tuesday morning. During Trump’s speech, Ibraheem Samirah, a Democratic member of the Virginia House of Delegates, stood up and chanted “Mr. President, you can’t send us back, Virginia is our home,” as he held a sign that read “Go back to your corrupted home....
Trump made the comment during an interview published Monday by The Atlantic with a group of historians working on a book about his presidency. During the interview, Trump defended the legacy of his sole term in office. His claims that the 2020 election was stolen continue to shape U.S. politics. The 45th president gave an interview to a panel of historians convened by Julian Zelizer, a Princeton professor and editor of the forthcoming The Presidency of Donald J....
