DeSantis’ controversial election police unit sparks new outrage
Florida Republicans had reason to be pleased with the state’s elections in 2020. Not only did GOP candidate excel at multiple levels, but the elections were effectively controversy-free. The Sunshine State has traditionally billed itself as the gold standard in election administration, and 2020 was no exception. But Donald Trump’s conspiracy theories fueled tiresome hysteria…

I helped Kamala Harris prep for the 2020 VP debate — she can handle Trump
Debates are part performance and part policy. Tuesday’s debate will be no exception. In October 2020, a day before Sen.

Trump keeps generating potential defamation lawsuits by his accusers
Over the weekend, I shared what I believe to be the real reasons Donald Trump showed up to Friday’s oral argument in his appeal of E. Jean Carroll’s first civil verdict against him.

7 questions the debate moderators should ask Harris and Trump — but probably won’t
Presidential debates are supposed to be Socratic dialogues in which two thoughtful candidates spell out why they have better ideas on how to move the country forward. But let’s be real.

Questions about Trump’s age, fitness become literal front-page news
At his latest campaign rally in Wisconsin over the weekend, Donald Trump shared an odd anecdote about unnamed Democratic operatives trying to take advantage of senior citizens. “You had people that are in their 80s, ‘Uh would you sign here?’” the Republican said, referring to a controversy he didn’t identify. The former president went on…

How Kamala Harris can win over undecided voters at the debate
As we approach the debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump, one cannot overestimate the importance of how this might be the most determinative factor remaining in the race — especially among the voters who are likely to be the ultimate key decision-makers: a small group of no more than 10%…
