Harris also moved into what Trump considers his terrain ... Читать дальше...

If Ruben Gallego is going to give Democrats their fourth straight U.S. Senate victory in Arizona, he’s probably going to need support from an unlikely group: Donald Trump voters. Gallego and his GOP rival, former television news anchor Kari Lake, are both targeting undecided Republicans in a contest that will test the strength of Trump’s coattails. Ticket-splitting voters are increasingly rare in an era of partisan loyalty. In this year's election, they could be central in determining which party controls the Senate. Читать дальше...

A bench trial, meaning there is a judge but no jury, is set to begin Tuesday. The Republican majority on the State Election Board voted to approve the rules last month. Democrats filed a legal challenge and argue the rules could be used “to upend the statutorily required process for certifying election results in Georgia.” Republicans endorsed... Читать дальше...

The vice presidential debate between Republican JD Vance and Democrat Tim Walz will bring together undercards who have spent two months going after each other and the top of each ticket. Tuesday's matchup might not carry the same stakes as the Sept. 10 debate between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris.

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is escalating his personal attacks on his Democratic rival, Kamala Harris, by repeating an insult that she was “mentally impaired."
