Billions have cast votes across scores of countries, including some of the largest, most powerful democracies on Earth.But America’s remains the world’s global election, the most forensically examined, the most consequential all over the world. America matters.“The US is still the most powerful actor in the international system,” Dr Michael Fullilove, executive director of the Lowy Institute, told the Guardian this week. “It is the richest company, with the biggest military, the biggest economy.“It is the only country that runs a truly global foreign policy, the only country that can project power anywhere on Earth.2:55US election 2024: four things to know about the count – video“It is the democratic, meritocratic superpower … it still attracts so many people around the world … the whole world is remarkably well-informed about the US election.”And Australia’s future is bound up in America’s electoral decision. As one of America’s closest allies – supporters might argue for “staunchest”, opponents might claim “uncritical” – Australia’s economic, security and multilateral landscape is tied to that of the US and the occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.2024 US presidential polls tracker: Trump v Harris latest national averagesRead moreHow could the election of a second Donald Trump presidency impact Australia? Or how might the quasi-continuity of Vice-President Kamala Harris ascending to the White House?Trump, necessarily, is the object of much of Australia’s focus. Harris, as Joe Biden’s vice-president, is the continuity candidate – promoting policy positions in line with the current administration – meaning a Trump victory would raise many more questions.The election too, will be keenly fought over a host of domestic issues which have no direct – though some peripheral – impact on Australia. This includes issues such as reproductive rights (the overturning of Roe v Wade by the supreme court and a mooted national abortion ban), migration (particularly on the country’s southern border), gun control and law and order – issues excluded in this piece.

Watching the crescendo of an increasingly vituperative election campaign, Fullilove said that politically “America is running a high temperature at the moment”.“My real hope for the election is that there is a clear result, that the loser accepts defeat, that the transfer of power is peaceful – that might sound like a low bar – but it is critical, for America and for the world.”Values and democracyResponding to the unpredictability of Trump’s first presidency, Australian politicians repeated the refrain that the Australian-US alliance runs deeper than a president or prime minister and that it is one founded on shared values and democratic principles.Trump has said he would not be a dictator, “except on day one”. He said he would seek retribution on his political opponents: “root out the communists, Marxists, fascists and the radical left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country that lie and steal and cheat on elections”.As commander-in-chief, he said he would consider using the military to attack domestic enemies: “It should be very easily handled by, if necessary, by the national guard, or if really necessary, by the military”.1:16'The enemy within' should be handled by the military, says Trump – videoTrump’s former chief of staff, Gen John Kelly, said this week Trump was a “fascist” who “certainly prefers the dictator approach to government”. Trump has repeatedly lied that he won the 2020 election and mused on “terminating” the constitution.He told a rally in July that if he was elected president again, “you won’t have to vote any more”.“In four years, you don’t have to vote again. We’ll have it fixed so good, you’re not going have to vote.”Harris has denounced Trump as a “fascist” who wants “unchecked power” and a military personally loyal to him.In her speech to the Democratic national convention, she cited the supreme court’s split decision in July stating Trump enjoyed broad immunity for official acts taken while in office.“Consider the power he [Trump] will have, especially after the United States supreme court ruled he will be immune from prosecution,” she said. “Imagine Donald Trump with no guardrails.”ClimateClimate change is “one of the greatest scams of all time”, Trump said last month. “We will drill, baby, drill,” he told the Republican national convention when accepting the party’s nomination. “We will do it at levels that nobody’s ever seen before.”He has said he would prohibit, by executive order, all offshore wind projects on the first day of his presidency, saying they kill whales.In his first term, Trump withdrew from the Paris agreement (the US rejoined under Biden). But his campaign has indicated a second Trump presidency might re-abandon the Paris agreement, as well as the United Nations framework convention on climate change (UNFCCC) which underpins it – 198 countries have committed to the UNFCCC: none has left it.The withdrawal of the US – the world’s second-largest greenhouse gas emitter and the country that has contributed the largest share of historical emissions – would increase political uncertainty around the transition to net zero and deter investment. It would weaken the influence of the so-called umbrella group – of which Australia is a member – and give succour to climate laggards, such as the petrostates, to further slow global reduction efforts.Some have argued that much of the impetus and funding for global emissions reductions is locked in and emissions reductions efforts are working on timescales far longer than a four-year presidential cycle.But Michael Mann, distinguished professor of meteorology at Pennsylvania State University, has argued “a second Trump term is game over for the climate”.Harris has called climate change an “existential threat”. As attorney general in California, she prosecuted oil companies for breaches of environmental laws. As vice-president, she was the tie-breaking vote in the Senate to pass the Inflation Reduction Act, which provided about US$370bn to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to 40% below 2005 levels by 2030.But during Harris’s vice-presidency, the US produced and exported the most crude oil of any country at any time in history, according to the US Energy Information Administration’s figures. Crude oil production averaged 12.9m barrels a day in 2023, breaking the previous global record of 12.3m, set in 2019.Trade and the economyTrump is a fierce economic nationalist, hostile to free trade and intensely focused on America’s trade deficit, which he regards as a sign of weakness. He has pledged to impose a 10% tariff on all imports to the US, with a 60% tariff on all Chinese imports and a 100% tariff on Chinese cars.When is the US election, what time do polls close and when will we know the results? An armchair guide for AustraliansRead moreEconomists argue the policy will lead to higher prices and lower growth. The nonpartisan Peterson Institute for International Economics estimated the proposed tariffs would lower the incomes of an average US household by US$1,700 a year: poor Americans would be more affected than the rich.In September Trump said: “Together, we will deliver low taxes, low regulations, low energy costs, low interest rates and low inflation so that everyone can afford groceries, a car and a home.” He has promised to reduce regulation and cut taxes but some economists argue that his tax cuts would benefit America’s wealthiest while hurting the poorest.Australia is not dependent on direct trade with the US but the majority of Australia’s trade is with China. If China’s economy, already weak, is damaged further by a trade war with the US, Australia will be exposed.Harris has criticised Trump’s tariff policies, arguing they would act as a “sales tax on Americans” and lead to higher prices and inflation. But the Biden administration has extended Trump-era tariffs and used tariffs to influence trade on industries it sees as strategic – particularly in relation to China. The administration extended tariffs on solar panels in 2022 and, in May this year, increased tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles to 100%.As a senator, Harris opposed the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a free trade agreement (involving Australia) negotiated by Barack Obama and from which Trump withdrew.Defence and AukusWhile Trump has been critical of Nato, he has not criticised Australia as a military ally or the Aukus deal, a tripartite agreement (between the US, UK, and Australia) for Australia to acquire up to eight nuclear-powered submarines between now and the mid-2050s, the first in the 2030s.Australia’s deputy prime minister, Richard Marles, said his government believed Trump would honour the agreement: “Every engagement we’ve had with the Trump camp in the normal process of speaking with people on both sides of politics in America, there is support for … Aukus,” he said.The key US Senate races that could determine who controls the chamberRead moreBut John Bolton, Trump’s former national security adviser – now a fierce critic of the former president – said of Aukus: “I think it could be in jeopardy.”Fullilove asked Trump’s vice-presidential candidate JD Vance this year for his position on the agreement. Vance replied he was “a fan of Aukus”.“I suspect that Aukus would be safe under Trump too,” Fullilove told the Guardian.“Australia is an example of an ally that is contributing to deterrence and contributing to the US industrial base. You could imagine Trump threatening to unpick it, but my conclusion is it is safe.”Aukus was signed by the Biden-Harris administration. The administration’s Indo-Pacific strategy commits to the deal but does not give a timeline: “Through the Aukus partnership, we will identify the optimal pathway to deliver nuclear-powered submarines to the Royal Australian Navy at the earliest achievable date.”skip past newsletter promotionSign up to Breaking News AustraliaFree newsletterGet the most important news as it breaksEnter your email address Sign upPrivacy Notice: Newsletters may contain info about charities, online ads, and content funded by outside parties.

The defence department confirmed Australia provided support for the US strikes “through access and overflight for US aircraft in northern Australia”.Israel-GazaTrump and Harris have declared their support for Israel and reiterated support for a two-state solution between Israel and Palestine.The US continues to supply Israel with billions of dollars of weapons and munitions as Israel carries out its bombardment of Gaza, Lebanon and, this week, strikes on Iran.The US is, by far, the largest supplier of arms to Israel: 69% of Israel’s imports of major conventional arms between 2019 and 2023 came from America, according to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute. The US has signed an agreement to provide Israel with $3.8bn in annual military aid under a 10-year-agreement.More than 1,200 Israelis died in the 7 October 2023 attacks by Hamas. More than 42,000 people have died in Gaza since, including more than 16,000 children.Trump has expressed his support for Israel’s invasion and bombardment of Gaza. He has also urged Israel to “finish up” the war because it is losing support.“You have to finish up your war … you’ve got to get it done,” he told the Israeli newspaper Israel Hayom. “We’ve got to get to peace. You can’t have this going on, and I will say Israel has to be very careful because you are losing a lot of the world. You are losing a lot of support.”Trump said of Harris: “She hates Israel. If she’s president, I believe that Israel will not exist within two years from now.”In his first term, Trump released a peace proposal he called a blueprint for a two-state solution: it would not have created an independent Palestinian state and was seen as strongly favouring Israel.“Israel has a right to defend itself,” Harris said in September’s presidential debate.She continued: “How it does so matters. Because it is also true far too many innocent Palestinians have been killed. Children. Mothers. What we know is that this war must end. It must end immediately, and the way it will end is we need a ceasefire deal and we need the hostages out.”Harris has consistently reiterated support for a two-state solution.The war in UkraineNearly three years on since Russia invaded Ukraine – and a decade since its initial assault on Crimea – the US remains the largest backer of Ukraine’s war effort. It is by far the single biggest contributor of money and materiel, outspending the next largest contributor, Germany, by five to one.Trump has made it abundantly clear he wants the war over – or, more precisely, he wants to stop paying for it.He told a rally: “I think [Ukrainian president Volodymyr] Zelenskyy is maybe the greatest salesman of any politician that’s ever lived. Every time he comes to our country he walks away with $US60bn.”3:15Kamala Harris makes 'closing argument' speech, calling for 'new generation of leadership' – videoInfluencing Republican allies in Congress, Trump stalled the last funding package from passing for months while Ukrainian forces – critically short of ammunition and artillery – struggled to hold back Russian advances. Trump’s manoeuvring was criticised as essentially backing Vladimir Putin’s irredentism.Trump has also repeatedly claimed if re-elected he would end the war in a day – “I’ll have that done in 24 hours” – without detailing how. It is presumed a deal to stop the conflict would involve the ceding of Ukrainian territory to Russia.Trump’s disposition towards Ukraine has broader implications for the collective security principle underpinning Nato. Trump has compared Nato to a protection racket and said he would not protect “delinquent” allies.The Guardian view on the US presidential election 2024: a Democratic government is the one we needRead more“In fact, I would encourage them [the Russians] to do whatever the hell they want. You gotta pay! You gotta pay your bills.”Trump has repeatedly upbraided European countries for failing to live up to their commitment to spend 2% of their GDP on defence.Harris has pledged to continue Biden’s support for Ukraine and for the Nato alliance. She said as vice-president “I helped mobilise a global response – more than 50 countries – to defend against Putin’s aggression.“And as president, I will stand strong with Ukraine and our Nato allies.”Harris, however, has wavered on Ukraine being admitted as a member to Nato, saying the question was among the “issues that we will deal with if and when it arrives at that point”.China“Trump and Kamala Harris are two bowls of poison for Beijing. Both see China as a competitor or even an adversary,” Prof Zhao Minghao, from the Institute of International Studies at Fudan University, told the Financial Times.Trump was hawkish towards China in his first term, confronting Beijing over what he argued were a suite of unfair practices and abuses such as intellectual property theft, currency manipulation and economic espionage. He pledged to “completely eliminate dependence on China in all critical areas” including electronics, steel, pharmaceuticals and rare earths. And he has flagged new laws to stop US companies from investing in China and a ban on federal contracts for any company that outsources to China.His first administration rejected Chinese territorial claims in the South China Sea, condemning Beijing’s “campaign of bullying” of other countries.Harris spoke on China in September, saying her government would work to ensure the US “is leading the world in the industries of the future and making sure America, not China, wins the competition for the 21st century”.“China is not moving slowly … if we are to compete, we can’t afford to, either.”She condemned Trump as having “constantly got played by China” and said his administration had shipped advanced semiconductors to China, allowing them to upgrade their military.“I will never hesitate to take swift and strong measures when China undermines the rules of the road at the expense of our workers, our communities, and our companies.”The PacificClimate change is an urgent existential threat for the islands of the Pacific. Trump does not mention the climate crisis in his platform, nor is it mentioned in Agenda47.The Heritage Foundation – the conservative thinktank behind the Trump-linked Project 2025 – has urged for partnership with the Pacific islands, but on American terms and in US interests. “The US must adopt a clear-eyed approach about putting American interests and objectives in the Pacific islands first,” it said.The Biden-Harris administration have held two Pacific islands-US summits which have been big on ambition – with commitments of more than $1bn to resilience regionalism and sustainable development – but seen as lacking, so far, in application and results.The 2022 US-Pacific partnership declared a shared vision for “a resilient Pacific region of peace, harmony, security, social inclusion, and prosperity”.Fullilove said while Harris sat within the mainstream traditions of US foreign policy, “it’s hard to get a really accurate fix on what she thinks about the world”.“At a broad level, she believes in American leadership, she believes in alliances, she prefers democracy to dictators, she more pro-trade than Trump. But beyond that, it’s very hard to know how she will approach Asia, the part of the world Australia is in, because she hasn’t been a prominent foreign policy voice in the Biden administration.”Read more of the Guardian’s 2024 US election coverage:

You can’t have this going on, and I will say Israel has to be very careful because you are losing a lot of the world. You are losing a lot of support.”Trump said of Harris: “She hates Israel. If she’s president, I believe that Israel will not exist within two years from now.”In his first term, Trump released a peace proposal he called a blueprint for a two-state solution: it would not have created an independent Palestinian state and was seen as strongly favouring Israel.“Israel has a right to defend itself,” Harris said in September’s presidential debate.She continued: “How it does so matters. Because it is also true far too many innocent Palestinians have been killed. Children. Mothers. What we know is that this war must end. It must end immediately, and the way it will end is we need a ceasefire deal and we need the hostages out.”Harris has consistently reiterated support for a two-state solution.The war in UkraineNearly three years on since Russia invaded Ukraine – and a decade since its initial assault on Crimea – the US remains the largest backer of Ukraine’s war effort. It is by far the single biggest contributor of money and materiel, outspending the next largest contributor, Germany, by five to one.Trump has made it abundantly clear he wants the war over – or, more precisely, he wants to stop paying for it.He told a rally: “I think [Ukrainian president Volodymyr] Zelenskyy is maybe the greatest salesman of any politician that’s ever lived. Every time he comes to our country he walks away with $US60bn.”3:15Kamala Harris makes 'closing argument' speech, calling for 'new generation of leadership' – videoInfluencing Republican allies in Congress, Trump stalled the last funding package from passing for months while Ukrainian forces – critically short of ammunition and artillery – struggled to hold back Russian advances. Trump’s manoeuvring was criticised as essentially backing Vladimir Putin’s irredentism.Trump has also repeatedly claimed if re-elected he would end the war in a day – “I’ll have that done in 24 hours” – without detailing how. It is presumed a deal to stop the conflict would involve the ceding of Ukrainian territory to Russia.Trump’s disposition towards Ukraine has broader implications for the collective security principle underpinning Nato. Trump has compared Nato to a protection racket and said he would not protect “delinquent” allies.The Guardian view on the US presidential election 2024: a Democratic government is the one we needRead more“In fact, I would encourage them [the Russians] to do whatever the hell they want. You gotta pay! You gotta pay your bills.”Trump has repeatedly upbraided European countries for failing to live up to their commitment to spend 2% of their GDP on defence.Harris has pledged to continue Biden’s support for Ukraine and for the Nato alliance. She said as vice-president “I helped mobilise a global response – more than 50 countries – to defend against Putin’s aggression.“And as president, I will stand strong with Ukraine and our Nato allies.”Harris, however, has wavered on Ukraine being admitted as a member to Nato, saying the question was among the “issues that we will deal with if and when it arrives at that point”.China“Trump and Kamala Harris are two bowls of poison for Beijing. Both see China as a competitor or even an adversary,” Prof Zhao Minghao, from the Institute of International Studies at Fudan University, told the Financial Times.Trump was hawkish towards China in his first term, confronting Beijing over what he argued were a suite of unfair practices and abuses such as intellectual property theft, currency manipulation and economic espionage. He pledged to “completely eliminate dependence on China in all critical areas” including electronics, steel, pharmaceuticals and rare earths. And he has flagged new laws to stop US companies from investing in China and a ban on federal contracts for any company that outsources to China.His first administration rejected Chinese territorial claims in the South China Sea, condemning Beijing’s “campaign of bullying” of other countries.Harris spoke on China in September, saying her government would work to ensure the US “is leading the world in the industries of the future and making sure America, not China, wins the competition for the 21st century”.“China is not moving slowly … if we are to compete, we can’t afford to, either.”She condemned Trump as having “constantly got played by China” and said his administration had shipped advanced semiconductors to China, allowing them to upgrade their military.“I will never hesitate to take swift and strong measures when China undermines the rules of the road at the expense of our workers, our communities, and our companies.”The PacificClimate change is an urgent existential threat for the islands of the Pacific. Trump does not mention the climate crisis in his platform, nor is it mentioned in Agenda47.The Heritage Foundation – the conservative thinktank behind the Trump-linked Project 2025 – has urged for partnership with the Pacific islands, but on American terms and in US interests. “The US must adopt a clear-eyed approach about putting American interests and objectives in the Pacific islands first,” it said.The Biden-Harris administration have held two Pacific islands-US summits which have been big on ambition – with commitments of more than $1bn to resilience regionalism and sustainable development – but seen as lacking, so far, in application and results.The 2022 US-Pacific partnership declared a shared vision for “a resilient Pacific region of peace, harmony, security, social inclusion, and prosperity”.Fullilove said while Harris sat within the mainstream traditions of US foreign policy, “it’s hard to get a really accurate fix on what she thinks about the world”.“At a broad level, she believes in American leadership, she believes in alliances, she prefers democracy to dictators, she more pro-trade than Trump. But beyond that, it’s very hard to know how she will approach Asia, the part of the world Australia is in, because she hasn’t been a prominent foreign policy voice in the Biden administration.”Read more of the Guardian’s 2024 US election coverage:

ATLANTA (AP) — Voting machines have been at the center of a web of conspiracy theories after the 2020 election, with false claims that they were manipulated to steal the presidency from Donald Trump.There was no evidence of widespread fraud or rigged voting machines in the election, and multiple reviews in the battleground states where the Republican president disputed his loss to Democrat Joe Biden confirmed the results as accurate. In 2023, Fox News agreed to pay Dominion Voting Systems, one of the largest voting machine companies, $787 million to avoid a trial in a defamation lawsuit.In the years since his loss, Trump and his allies have continued to sow doubts about voting equipment. State and local election officials have tried to push back by explaining the layers of protection that surround voting systems and the measures they have in place to conduct fair and accurate elections.
In November’s presidential election, nearly every ballot cast will have a paper record that can be used to obtain an accurate count even if there are errors or cyberattacks.
EXPLAINING THE U.S. ELECTIONHow does America vote? What’s the media’s role in the U.S. election? And more ins and outs of U.S. elections, explained. Elections, explained: Answers to all of your election questions.Guidebook: These are the 25 people, places, races, dates and things to know about Election Day.Latest news: Find our complete coverage of the 2024 Election.Stay informed: Keep up-to-date with all things politics with AP’s Ground Game newsletter. Sign up here.
What is a voting machine?Election officials rely on various pieces of technology. Every office does things a little bit differently. Officials rely on a voter registration system that is a database of registered voters and have an election management system that workers use to create, issue and track ballots. They also use an election-night reporting system that reports unofficial results. Many jurisdictions use electronic pollbooks to check in voters at polling locations.
All this depends on software and computers, a reliance that carries risks that officials work to identify and address. For example, election officials often will isolate critical systems from the internet and use storage devices, such as secured USB sticks, to transfer data. They limit access to sensitive equipment to only those who need it and have logs that track and monitor the devices.
When an internet connection is needed, election officials will often use private networks to limit the risk of malicious activity and take other steps to scan their systems for potential vulnerabilities and threats.Voters in much of the country fill out ballots by hand, and then that ballot will be scanned and counted electronically. A few places, mostly small towns in the Northeast, will count their ballots by hand.In some areas, voters use a computer to mark their ballots electronically and then get a printout of their choices that they insert into a scanner for counting. In other cases, the ballot is cast electronically, and a paper record is printed that summarizes the votes cast. That record is then available if a hand-count is needed.

Are voting machines connected to the internet?With a few exceptions, no. There are some jurisdictions in a few states that allow for ballot scanners in polling locations to transmit unofficial results, using a mobile private network, after voting has ended on Election Day and the memory cards containing the vote tallies have been removed.Election officials who allow this say it provides for faster reporting of unofficial election results on election night. They say the paper records of the ballots cast are used to authenticate the results during postelection reviews, and that those records would be crucial to a recount if one was needed.Computer security experts have said this is an unnecessary risk and should be prohibited.
Are voting machines secure?Election officials say they have worked extensively to shore up security around their voting equipment after an effort by Russia to scan state voter registration systems for vulnerabilities in 2016.There was no evidence then that any data was changed or deleted, but it led the federal government to declare the nation’s election systems as critical infrastructure. That allows the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency to provide free cybersecurity reviews and vulnerability testing to election offices nationwide.“Today, eight years later, because of all the incredible work by election officials to strengthen the security and resiliency of our election process, election infrastructure has never been more secure, and the election stakeholder community has never been stronger,” the agency’s director, Jen Easterly, told reporters in September.
Computer security experts have called for more to be done and for election officials to limit the use of certain technology, specifically machines that mark ballots for voters. A long-running court battle in Georgia has sought to compel the state to get rid of these machines in favor of hand-marked paper ballots.Experts have also raised particular concern about a series of security breaches that occurred after the 2020 election as Trump allies sought access to voting systems in Georgia and elsewhere as they tried to prove their unsubstantiated claims. The experts have warned that the public release of critical election software because of the breaches has raised “serious threats” and have called for a federal investigation.
How do election officials ensure accuracy?Election officials say there are safeguards in place to ensure that voting systems are not manipulated. That begins with physical security, such as locked rooms with limited access and the use of tamper-evident seals. In addition, voting equipment is tested before the election, a process that includes running test ballots through the equipment to ensure votes are being counted correctly. Postelection reviews are conducted to identify any mistakes or errors that may have occurred.Around 98% of all ballots cast in this year’s election will include a paper record, according to a report by the Brennan Center for Justice based on data collected by Verified Voting, a nonpartisan group that tracks voting equipment in the U.S. Officials say that’s important for ensuring that any error or cyberattack will not prevent officials from producing an accurate record of the vote.____Read more about how U.S. elections work at Explaining Election 2024, a series from The Associated Press aimed at helping make sense of the American democracy.

The Donald Trump supporter has, through his political group America PAC, been offering cash prizes to registered voters in swing states who sign a petition - something US officials suggest may break electoral law. Musk denies this.Philadelphia District Attorney Lawrence Krasner sued Musk this week over the $1m (£770,000) giveaways and said Musk "must be stopped, immediately, before the upcoming presidential election".At a hearing on Thursday, Judge Angelo Foglietta said the lawsuit will be put on hold while a federal court decides whether to take up the case. If the federal court chooses not to rule on the matter, the case will go back to the state court. In a post on X, the platform Musk owns, he said the ruling was "American Justice FTW (for the win)". It is unlikely the case will be resolved before Tuesday's election. "We will proceed to federal court and we will address the issues there and seek to have the matter remanded back to the state court," John Summers, a lawyer working with Mr Krasner, told reporters after the hearing."After all, this is a case that involves state law issues," he added.Philadelphia prosecutor sues Musk over voter lotteryIs Musk's giveaway legal?US election: Follow live coverageWho's ahead in the polls, Harris or Trump?Musk did not appear at a Philadelphia court for the hearing.The billionaire announced earlier this month that he would randomly award a $1m prize to people in battleground states - Pennsylvania, Georgia, Nevada, Arizona, Wisconsin, Michigan and North Carolina - every day until 5 November. These swing states suggest a particularly close contest between Trump and his Democratic rival for president, Kamala Harris.Yet another winner was announced on Thursday. Musk's America PAC said Dacey from Fremont, North Carolina had won a $1m check. To be eligible to win, the giveaway requires registered voters to release personal identifying information, like addresses and phone numbers. They are also required to sign a pledge that says they support the US Constitution.The lawsuit filed against Musk claimed he was "running an illegal lottery". “America PAC and Musk are lulling Philadelphia citizens... to give up their personal identifying information and make a political pledge in exchange for the chance to win $1 million,” Mr Krasner said in the lawsuit. "That is a lottery. And it is indisputably an unlawful lottery."The lawsuit also accuses the Tesla co-founder of violating consumer protection laws by using "deceptive, vague or misleading statements" that could create confusion.But Musk's lawyers have argued otherwise. "The complaint, in truth, has little to do with state-law claims of nuisance and consumer protection," Musk’s lawyers wrote in federal filings, according to a CNN report. "Rather, although disguised as state law claims, the complaint’s focus is to prevent defendants’ purported ‘interference’ with the forthcoming federal presidential election by any means."Just a day before Judge Foglietta's ruling, the district attorney's team asked for enhanced security for the hearing after Musk retweeted a post insulting Krasner that led to threats against him. "It immediately triggered an avalanche of posts from Musk’s followers. Many made antisemitic attacks on Krasner," Krasner's team wrote in a legal filing. Before the case was filed, Musk's PAC was also warned by the US justice department that its lottery-style giveaway might violate federal election law.The BBC has previously reached out to America PAC for comment.Under US law, it is illegal to pay people to register to vote. But legal experts have told the BBC that whether the giveaway violates federal law is a grey area. Musk could face a $10,000 fine and up to five years in prison if a court finds he broke the law. Musk himself, who has been aggressively campaigning for Trump, has insisted voters who want to be eligible for the prizes do not need to register as Republicans or go ahead with casting a vote.SIMPLE GUIDE: Everything you need to knowEXPLAINER: The seven states that will decide the electionECONOMY: Harris and Trump should listen to this mum of sevenKATTY KAY: What's really behind this men v women electionCONGRESS: Democrats bet big on Texas and target Ted CruzPOLLS: Who is winning the race for the White House?Elon MuskUS election 2024Donald TrumpUnited StatesWatchBarron Trump: Then and nowAged just 10 when his father first became president, he's now well over six feet tall, and goes to New York University.20 Jan 2025US & CanadaWatch: Trump's 'golden age' speech in 82 secondsThe US president spoke about his plans for the second Trump administration, as well as criticising the 'corrupt establishment'.20 Jan 2025US & Canada'I Donald John Trump'... 47th US president sworn inWatch the historic moment when the 45th president is returned to power as he takes the oath of office. 20 Jan 2025US & CanadaTech CEOs, celebs and presidents - who's inside Trump's inaugurationElon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg and Jeff Bezos were among those invited inside the Capitol for Donald Trump's swearing in.20 Jan 2025Thousands protest in Washington DC ahead of Trump inaugurationThousands of people joined in on demonstrations as the United States prepares to inaugurate its new president.18 Jan 2025US & CanadaBiden gives warnings on climate and oligarchy in farewell speechThe outgoing US president warned against power in the hands of the wealthy, the threat of the tech industry and climate change.16 Jan 2025US & CanadaWatch key moments from Rubio and Bondi's confirmation hearingsTrump's pick for US attorney general was pressed on claims of election fraud and pardons for January 6 rioters.15 Jan 2025Watch key moments from Pete Hegseth's confirmation hearingDonald Trump's defence secretary nominee was asked about his stance on women in combat and his alleged excessive drinking.14 Jan 2025US & CanadaWatch moment Kamala Harris certifies US election resultHarris, who Trump defeated in the 2024 election, presided over the event as required by the US Constitution.6 Jan 2025US & CanadaA look at Trump's new top team... in 85 secondsAmong the allies the president-elect has chosen to join his administration are contentious figures, including among fellow Republicans.16 Nov 2024US & CanadaTrump names vaccine sceptic RFK Jr for health secretaryThe president-elect has nominated RFK to lead the Department of Health and Human Services.14 Nov 2024US & CanadaFBI video shows moment man sets ballot box on fireThe suspect used an “improvised incendiary device” to start the fire in Portland, Oregon, ahead of the US election.14 Nov 2024Why is Kamala Harris still asking for campaign donations?A week after losing the election, Kamala Harris's team are still appealing for funds.14 Nov 2024US & CanadaWhat a Republican trifecta means for Trump's second termRepublicans have won control of both chambers of Congress, yielding Trump limited congressional oversight for at least 2 years.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Americans can start signing up Friday for health care coverage offered through the Affordable Care Act marketplace for 2025, days before a presidential election that could threaten eligibility and raise costs for millions of those in the program. The future of ‘Obamacare’ has emerged as a key issue in the closing days of the presidential campaign, with a top GOP leader promising this week to overhaul the program should Republican Donald Trump win the presidency. Billions of dollars in tax credits are also at stake. Established during the COVID-19 pandemic, the money has expanded eligibility for millions of Americans, made health insurance coverage more affordable for many and dramatically boosted enrollment. Nearly all of the 21 million people in the program have benefited from those subsidies, which expire next year, the U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra said in an interview with The Associated Press.
“Americans can actually look at health care not as a privilege, but now as a right,” said Becerra, who is going to the political swing state of Arizona on Friday to mark the beginning of open enrollment. “I don’t think anyone wants to have a right yanked away from them to have affordable health insurance coverage.”

But significant changes to the program are almost certain if Trump wins the White House and Republicans take control of Congress in Tuesday’s contentious elections. They are threatening to scale back “Obamacare,” a signature achievement of former President Barack Obama, a Democrat.
On Monday, a key Trump ally, House Speaker Mike Johnson, declared “No Obamacare” during a Pennsylvania campaign stop, promising “massive reform” under a Trump presidency with a Republican-controlled Congress. “Health care reform’s going to be a big part of the agenda,” Johnson said in a video first obtained by NBC News.
Johnson’s office later issued a statement saying that he had no plans to completely repeal the landmark legislation, but the comments still underscored how Johnson is working closely with Trump to potentially remake the federal government and its social programs if Republicans sweep into power.Trump has only said that he has “concepts of a plan” to change the Affordable Care Act, which he was unable to successfully scuttle altogether during his previous term in office. In recent months, Republicans have raised concerns about spending and fraud. Enrollment under the Biden administration surged, after years of declines during the Trump administration, dropping to a low of 11 million on Trump’s watch. But taxpayers have had to pour billions of dollars more into the Affordable Care Act to achieve that increase. That money has helped pay for subsidies to cut premiums by nearly half for many of those enrolled in the program. Congress would need to pass a new law to continue offering those subsidies, which could cost as much as $335 billion over the next decade. Some Republicans have already balked at that figure. Democrats have cautioned voters that Republicans will try to revive an attempt to kill the Affordable Care Act altogether, with the warnings growing more dire as Election Day nears.
In Wisconsin, Vice President Kamala Harris issued the warning again, telling reporters that Johnson’s remarks prove Republicans plan to gut the health care coverage. “ It has been a part of Donald Trump’s agenda for a very long time,” Harris said. “He has made dozens of attempts to get rid of the Affordable Care Act. And now we have further validation of that agenda from his supporter, the speaker of the House.” The Biden administration has expanded the program in other ways that Harris is likely to continue, but Trump is sure to pull back on. For example, the administration poured more money into hiring health insurance navigators who help enroll people into coverage. The White House also implemented a new rule that expands eligibility for the program to immigrants who were brought to the U.S. as children. About 100,000 of those immigrants, also called “Dreamers” are expected to sign up for the coverage for the first time during enrollment this year. Republican attorneys general in 15 states have sued to block their enrollment. Open enrollment for the coverage ends on Jan. 15, but to have coverage in the new year you must enroll by Dec. 15. —-AP reporters Lisa Mascaro and Stephen Groves contributed to this story.

'Above and beyond disgusting': Mount Pleasant parade display depicts Kamala Harris with hands bound

Wikipedia CommonsDowntown Mount Pleasant in Westmoreland County, Pa.
(Note: This story below contains disturbing content and images.)A community Halloween parade in Mount Pleasant Borough has drawn controversy after participants joined it with an elaborate display that appeared to depict Vice President and Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris with hands bound, accompanied by a vehicle with a roof-mounted rifle. Witnesses alternately described the woman as bound with chains or another restraint.Images of the display spread across social media Thursday, the morning after the Westmoreland County community’s parade. It appeared to feature an ATV bedecked with flags, a Trump sign, and a roof-mounted sniper rifle, apparently made from cardboard. The photos also displayed a woman walking behind the vehicle with her hands bound. At least two men wearing dark sunglasses, apparently impersonating security forces, accompanied the vehicle.Mayor Diane Bailey said she was ”shocked” by the display.“The borough had no part in that parade,” she said. “That has been handled by the fire department and organized by the fire department for as long as I can remember, and I’m old.“We were observers the same as the citizens who came out, and we were as shocked by it as anyone else would have been,” she said. “We had no idea that that particular float or whatever you want to call it was going to be in the parade.“It may have taken several seconds for people to realize what it was all about,” she added. “I didn't hear anyone cheering. I didn't hear anyone laughing, either. It was like 'Wow, I didn't expect that.'”

Bailey, who is a Democrat, said that she didn’t recognize anyone involved in the display: The parade attracts both onlookers and participants, many of whom join it on their own, from outside the borough itself, she said.Mount Pleasant Borough is a conservative community that voted for Donald Trump by a margin of roughly 60 to 39 in the 2020 election. But Bailey described it as “a small, quiet community” where people “work together, no matter what side of the [political divide] we are on.”Bailey said she’d been told that the participants continued along the parade route until the finish, but she deferred additional questions about it to the Mount Pleasant Volunteer Fire Department.“We’ve had conversations. I know they are also appalled by it,” she said.But Michelle McFall, who chairs the Westmoreland County Democratic Committee, said the fire department had much for which to answer.“I love our firefighters, but this is reckless and irresponsible,” she said. “It’s deeply concerning and a failure of leadership.”McFall said she’d been hearing about the parade from party volunteers and others all day. The reaction, she said, “Doesn’t sound like fear. People are angry that a community in the county they call home was used to launch such a hateful political display.“Our fight isn’t with each other, “ she added. “It’s at the ballot box.”Representatives of the fire department did not return calls Thursday. But in a statement released Thursday night, the department said its members want to "sincerely apologize for allowing the offensive participants" to participate in its annual parade. "We do not share in the values represented by those participants, and we understand how it may have hurt or offended members of our community. We’re proud to have sponsored this parade for over 70 years, and its goal has always been to support our community's children," the department said in its statement."We are committed to learning from this experience and ensuring that our future events celebrate the diversity and spirit of our community in a positive way."The department, in its statement, characterized the parade as "a first-come, first-serve event," at which its members previously provided "only safety [and] traffic control.""We will be reviewing our planning processes to prevent a situation like this from happening again," the department said, " ... as we work to make our events more welcoming for everyone."The Westmoreland chapter of the Republican Party directed calls to a spokesman from the Trump campaign.The Pittsburgh branch of the NAACP, in a statement Thursday, condemned the display as “a harmful symbol that evokes a painful history of violence, oppression, and racism that Black and Brown communities have long endured here in America.

“In allowing this display, the organizers have sent a troubling message that demeans and dehumanizes Black and Brown individuals. This kind of imagery reinforces a dangerous narrative, implicitly suggesting that Black individuals belong in chains,” said Daylon A. Davis, president of the branch.”Such a display has no place in our society today or any community that values inclusivity, respect, and human dignity,” he said in the statement. “All communities deserve better.”Davis also sought an apology from parade organizers and borough leaders for the display, noting the responsibility to ensure that public events “are safe and welcoming spaces for everyone, [r]egardless of political lines.“We also ask that they … make a public commitment to anti-racist values that affirm the dignity and equality of all people,” he said.“This is our hour to demonstrate that love and justice shall always conquer hatred and cruelty,” Davis added. “The ballot box is our pulpit, our march, our message. And we shall stand firm, with hands joined, moving forward together, with hearts unbowed and eyes fixed on that bright horizon of freedom.”Residents of the community also denounced the parade display.John Krol, 68, said he’s lived in Mount Pleasant most of his life. If the people involved are his neighbors, he said, it’s "above and beyond disgusting."He also said he was shocked that no one asked the float to not participate: "If you're a borough official, you better step in."Krol’s daughter-in-law, Cynthia Zelmore, said a friend sent her videos from the parade last night. She grew up just outside Mount Pleasant and recently worked at the local free library, but she moved to Pittsburgh a few years ago.“It's been a racially fraught town for years,” Zelmore said, but she added that she’d never seen a display that political at the parade, in which she previously participated. She said she wonders if the fire department knew about the float, or if the group tagged on anonymously.“At the end of the parade, they usually have a lineup for anybody who wants to come and march in costume,” she said. “I've done that before — I had family members do that before, and you just go through the town square in your costume and it's a great time.”State Rep. Eric Davanzo (R-West Newton) was in the parade himself but said he didn’t see the display, which he believed came later in the lineup.On Thursday, he said he wondered if he would be getting calls if the roles were reversed — with former President and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump in shackles and led behind a vehicle. He also questioned whether the woman in the display was intended to be Vice President Harris or Hillary Clinton, the former U.S. Secretary of State and U.S. Senator.The pictures he was shown were blurry, he said, and he couldn't tell if the person behind the 4X4 wore a mask.The U.S. Secret Service, which provides protection for both presidential candidates, declined to comment extensively on the matter Thursday: "We can say, however, that the Secret Service takes all threats related to our protectees seriously.”

This story has been revised to clarify the restraints used in the parade.

I suspect that what we see is unfortunately exactly what we get.Former President Donald Trump with Melania Trump, Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio, and his wife, Usha Chilukuri Vance, at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee on July 18.Carolyn Kaster / APBy Jill Filipovic, author of "OK Boomer, Let's Talk: How My Generation Got Left Behind"Who, exactly, is Melania Trump? Since the sphinx-eyed former model came onto the political scene alongside her husband, former President Donald Trump, she’s been something of an enigma: often seemingly apolitical and largely silent, with opaque motivations. She clearly doesn’t believe Trump’s politics were a deal-breaker — after all, she remains married to the guy. But she didn’t exactly seem enthusiastic about being in the political crosshairs, either. The former first lady’s very short memoir, with an all-black cover interrupted only by “MELANIA” printed in neat white block letters, promised to offer some insight “into the life of a remarkable woman who has navigated challenges with grace and determination.”In fact, no such insight is offered. It is a difficult book to remark on, because it contains nothing remarkable. This is a book you can judge by its cover. “Melania” isn’t just boring; it’s a void. This is a book you can judge by its cover. “Melania” isn’t just boring; it’s a void. Perhaps Melania is, too. Journalists have tried to profile her, interviewing friends and family members and even people she grew up with, trying to find anyone who can help them decode this cipher. But Melania may be more stick figure than hieroglyphic; there seems to be no complex code to crack. Melania is exactly who she seems to be: a beautiful woman who has spent a long time trying to be beautiful, who found a rich man to take care of her. She loves her son, Barron, and her parents (her mother recently passed away). She likes expensive clothes and other luxuries. She may not be an aggressively cruel person like her husband, but she doesn’t seem to be an ardently compassionate one, either. And that would be all fine and good had she stayed on the Upper East Side of Manhattan with her wealthy if boorish and allegedly philandering husband. But Trump’s foray in politics has dragged her in, too, and her decision to stand by his side (even if she didn’t go to the trial stemming from his alleged dalliance with porn star Stormy Daniels during their marriage) is at the very least a symbol of her acceptance of his vulgarities and goals. She did get some headlines — good and bad — for using her memoir to voice public support for abortion rights just weeks before an election in which abortion is one of her husband’s weaker issues. But this, too, seems less a statement of true independence and more one of cynical political game-playing — her husband needs to rope in more female voters, and many women are angry that he appointed Supreme Court justices who overturned Roe v. Wade. In this sense, perhaps Melania and Donald aren’t so different. Neither are politically sophisticated or particularly attentive to policy. Neither evince much in the way of compassion or even interest in other people. Trump is angry and vitriolic, while Melania is purse-lipped and stoic; he is emotionally incontinent, while she often appears to be in emotional rigor mortis; he is behaviorally uninhibited and says whatever he wants, while she is studiously reserved, perhaps because she has very little to say. But with both Trumps, what you see is what you get: There’s just not all that much there. The Vances — JD, who is running for vice president, and Usha, who would be the second lady — are far more fascinating. But they, too, may be more transparent than the public would hope.Journalist Irin Carmon has a compelling profile of Usha Vance in The Cut, and it sketches out a woman who on her face seems ill-suited for the role of political spouse to a MAGA maniac. Usha is the high-achieving daughter of highly educated immigrant parents, who married a man whom she academically outperformed and who was attracted to her intelligence; JD even reportedly considered taking her last name and being the primary caregiver for their kids. Now, he’s a different kind of guy, one who rails against childless cat ladies and, as Carmon writes, “refer[s] to his children as belonging to Usha” (“She’s got three kids,” he recently said on a New York Times podcast).Vance, Carmon writes, “often describes Usha as a ‘working mother’ without implying that he himself has anything to juggle. He has come a long way from the would-be stay-at-home dad who put his wife’s career first.”Usha Vance has clerked for conservative judges, including federal appeals Judge Brett Kavanaugh, now a Supreme Court justice, and Chief Justice John Roberts, but she doesn’t seem particularly conservative (or political) herself. JD Vance once compared Trump to Hitler and voiced his respect for ambitious women; now he’s Trump’s highest-level lackey and mocks professional women who delay or — for whatever reason — don’t end up giving birth. JD Vance once compared Trump to Hitler and voiced his respect for ambitious women; now he’s Trump’s highest-level lackey.After he graduated from law school, Vance did a little bit of time in the world of corporate law before moving into bigger-money venture capital. While there, he published a finger-wagging memoir about his working-class Appalachian roots, writing about rural America in a way that appealed to moneyed coastal conservatives who wanted to believe that the poor and miserable immiserated themselves. (While the book garnered plenty of bipartisan praise, leftists, it’s worth pointing out, were some of the harshest critics of “Hillbilly Elegy.”) When he decided to run for the Senate in Ohio, he was barely living in the state and had to quickly rebrand as a real working-class man — and one sympathetic to the MAGA movement. Usha hasn’t adopted many of the aesthetics of the MAGA female, but she has quit her job, joined her husband on the campaign and stood by her man even as he demeans the sort of smart, well-educated, ambitious female archetype she very recently embodied.The public wants the people in high office — and most people in the public eye, whether they are in politics or are celebrities of another kind — to have depth. We want them to be decipherable, but we want to believe they are special. When they seem insubstantial or fueled by some silly and transparent motivation, we may assume there’s something they’re obscuring. If they’re at the top of their game, then there must be something there, right?Maybe with these four — the Trumps and the Vances — that’s simply assuming too much. Perhaps they are exactly who they appear to be: The Trumps are superficial, intellectually shallow and money-obsessed; the Vances have principles that seemingly bend to their grand ambitions. All four of these people have had enough time to show the public who they are. I suspect that what we see is exactly what we get.Jill FilipovicJill Filipovic is a journalist and the author of "OK Boomer, Let's Talk: How My Generation Got Left Behind" and "The H-Spot: The Feminist Pursuit of Happiness."AboutContactHelpCareersMSNBC StoreAD ChoicesPrivacy PolicyDo Not Sell My Personal InformationCA NoticeTerms of Service (Updated JULY 7, 2023)MSNBC SitemapClosed CaptioningAdvertiseJoin the MSNBC Community© 2025 MSNBC Cable, L.L.C.NBC News LogoMSNBC LogoToday Logo

Former President Trump reportedly asked Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to wrap up the Israel-Hamas war by the time he gets inaugurated, if he is elected, according to the Times of Israel. The Israeli outlet was told about the exchange by an anonymous source familiar with the situation. Either Trump or Vice President Kamala Harris will be inaugurated on Jan. 20, depending on how voters cast their ballots on Nov. 5.The Times of Israel's source said that Trump initially gave the message to Netanyahu when the Israeli leader visited him at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, this past July. While Trump has expressed a desire to end the war, which has been ongoing since Oct. 7, 2023, the fact that the request had a timeline was previously unknown.

The Biden-Harris administration has been largely supportive of Israel, though the White House has spoken out against the Israel Defense Forces' (IDF) recent military operations. Earlier this month, President Biden demanded a ceasefire shortly before Israel invaded Lebanon.BATTLEGROUND STATE OFFICIALS SAY FOREIGN ENEMIES USING MISINFORMATION TO ‘UNDERMINE’ DEMOCRATIC PROCESS Smoke rises after an Israeli airstrike targeting Beirut's southern suburb of Shayah on Oct. 22. (Fadel Itani/AFP via Getty Images) During a CNN town hall last week, Harris dodged Anderson Cooper's question about whether she was more "pro-Israel" than her Republican opponent. "I believe that Donald Trump is dangerous," Harris said, not addressing the question. "I believe that when you have a president of the United States who has said to his generals who worked for him because he is Commander in Chief — these conversations, I assume, many of them took place in the Oval Office — if the president of the United States, the Commander in Chief, is saying to his generals, in essence, 'Why can't you be more like Hitler's generals?'

Could this closing message win over the undecided voters who will decide the race? We talked to Reed Galen, a former GOP strategist who’s working to pull remaining fence-sitters away from Trump for his group The Union, about why Michelle Obama’s message might reach undecided women and how it puts the media to shame.

The US presidential election has divided a nation, but scientists seem to be on the same page. Researchers inside and outside the United States overwhelmingly favour the Democratic candidate Kamala Harris, according to roughly 2,000 readers who responded to a Nature survey. What’s more, one-third of the researchers rooting for her say it might affect their plans for where they live or study if the Republican candidate Donald Trump wins on 5 November.

By Chris HayesThis is an adapted excerpt from the Oct. 30 episode of "All In with Chris Hayes."Tuesday’s election is shaping up to be one of the closest races anyone has seen in U.S. history. Polls nationally and in the key states show a dead heat between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris.People in what we used to call a reality-based community understand that this is a very tight race in a closely divided country and it could go either way, but the story on the right is ... not that. For a while now, the story on the right has been that Trump is cruising to victory and that he’s way ahead.According to conservative media, Trump is set to win next week's election by a landslide. Guests on Fox News are predicting the former president will win every swing state and host Greg Gutfeld already declared the election over, “Donald Trump’s got this.”For a while now, the story on the right has been that Trump is cruising to victory and that he’s way ahead. They say that the Harris campaign has collapsed and the only way they can win the election is by stealing it. Now, that’s just as untrue as it was four years ago but that hasn’t stopped Trump from telling the same lies on the campaign trail this year. Trump can very well win this election outright but, as he’s been telegraphing for four years, the plan is to cheat and sow doubt about the outcome in advance so, if things don’t go his way, he can claim the election has been stolen. Just like he did last time.In fact, on Tuesday, one of the ex-cons advising Trump, Steve Bannon, gave a press conference after getting out of jail and almost immediately said Trump’s main mistake on election night in 2020 was that he took too long to falsely declare victory. A mistake he said Trump shouldn’t make again this year.They are running the same “Stop the Steal” playbook as they did four years ago — you know, when they tried to overturn the 2020 election results, for which Trump and dozens of others are still facing prosecution. On Wednesday, a reporter asked the former president about his election night plans and if he anticipates being able to declare victory that night.Trump, while donning a reflective vest and climbing into his name-branded garbage truck, told the reporter, “I hope that we’re going to declare a victory,” and then raised suspicions about results taken from voting machines. It’s the same old song. But this time, the Republican central message is getting a big signal boost. Not just from Fox News, but also from the social media platform X and its owner, Elon Musk, the Trump-loving reactionary billionaire and the world’s biggest broker of disinformation. That’s just one place where Trump and his allies are now posting false claims about “cheating” at “large scale levels” in Pennsylvania early voting.It’s the same old song. But this time, the Republican central message is getting a big signal boost: Elon Musk. Now, it turns out there might be some voter fraud being committed — but not in Pennsylvania and not by Democrats. On Tuesday, Indiana state police said they had arrested Larry Savage, a Republican precinct committeeman and former congressional candidate. Police say he stole two ballots from a test of voting machines and then claimed the machines were flawed.According to court documents, the investigators also searched Savage’s phone and found a text that read: ”sis, they say anything about the ballots i took.” Investigators also say he posted on a social media page condemning the county’s election procedures, shortly before police found the stolen ballots in his truck.Meanwhile, as Republicans are setting the scene for another attempted theft of the election, Democrats are trying to do what they did in 2020 and 2022, which is to get people out to vote and win a close race.

Alito denies Cornel West bid for intervention in Pennsylvania ballot access dispute

What to know about election law
Breaking down election law as Americans vote in 2024
05:43
Washington — Justice Samuel Alito on Thursday rejected a request from progressive activist Cornel West to direct Pennsylvania election officials to post notices informing voters at polling locations statewide on Election Day that West is a presidential candidate and his name can be written in on ballots.West, a third-party candidate for the presidency, sought emergency relief from the nation's highest court Wednesday, less than a week before Election Day and as more than 1.5 million voters in Pennsylvania have already cast their ballots by mail.As the Nov. 5 election draws near, the Supreme Court has been asked to intervene in a growing number of disputes. Just this week, it rejected a bid by independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., to have his name removed from the Wisconsin and Michigan ballots, and allowed Virginia officials to resume a program to remove from its voter rolls roughly 1,600 people that the state suspects are noncitizens.West's request arose from his unsuccessful effort to have his name listed on the Pennsylvania general election ballot. His name is included on the ballots in the battleground states of Michigan, North Carolina and Wisconsin.After his nomination papers were rejected by the state, the activist filed a lawsuit in federal district court in September arguing that the state's application of its election code violates the Constitution. Both the district court and U.S. Court of Appeals for the 3rd Circuit ruled for the state, relying on a legal principle that cautions courts against changing election rules too close to an election to avoid confusing voters and election officials.
West then asked the Supreme Court to step in, arguing that Pennsylvania's election rules restrict access to the ballot for minor-party candidates in violation of his First Amendment rights.Allowing the Pennsylvania secretary of state's "unlawful conduct to preclude candidates access to the ballot in violation of their constitutional rights simply because election officials' delay pushes a dispute close to an election is anathema to the principles embodied by the First and Fourteenth Amendments," West's legal team said.They argued that the lower court's decisions were wrong, in part because the addition of a candidate to the ballot advances the nation's commitment to robust debate by "breaking the monopoly on existing political parties."

Sylvester Stallone introduced Trump onstage at a post-election event at Mar-a-Lago where he called him a "mythical character" and said he was "in awe" of the president-elect: “When George Washington defended his country, he had no idea that he was going to change the world,” Stallone said. “Guess what? We got the second George Washington.”

Dana White, CEO of the Ultimate Fighting Championship who appeared at the Republican National Convention to endorse Trump, spoke at Trump’s victory rally on Wednesday and thanked "the mighty and powerful" Rogan for his support.
Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy, a Trump supporter, said the Harris campaign's "pure arrogance and their moral superiority" drove voters away and that Democrats spent the campaign "acting like you're better than us, smarter than us, and, frankly, insulting our intelligence."
"The Daily Show" host Jon Stewart told viewers on election night that Harris supporters "have to continue to fight and continue to work day in and day out to create the better society for our children, for this world, for this country that we know is possible."
Jamie Lee Curtis encouraged Harris supporters to continue to "fight against tyranny, one day at a time" and said Trump's victory means a "sure return to a more restrictive, some fear draconian time."

Rapper Cardi B, who campaigned for Harris, said she felt "really sad" after Trump's win and, in an Instagram live, said to those who voted for Trump “I swear to god, I’m gonna f**k you up. Get away from me! I’m sick of you!”
Piers Morgan, who supported Trump during much of his first presidency and later said he regretted his strong adoration, early Wednesday congratulated Trump and said the win is “a testament to your resilience, mental strength & never-give-up mentality as your enemies tried to kill you, jail you & brand you the new Hitler.”
Adam McKay, director of political satire "Don't Look Up," expressed frustration said it was time to "abandon" the Democratic party: “Who would have guessed lying about Biden’s cognitive health for 2 yrs, refusing to do an open convention for a new nominee, never mentioning public healthcare & embracing fracking, the Cheneys & a yr long slaughter of children in Gaza wouldn’t be a winning strategy?”
Actor Zachary Levi, who supported Trump, said he was "incredibly grateful" to all Republican voters who "saw thru all the noise."
Billionaires who supported either presidential candidate have also spoken out about the results.

Volunteer fire department in Pennsylvania apologizes after depiction of Kamala Harris in parade

MT. PLEASANT, Pa. (KDKA) — Some participants in a Halloween parade outside Pittsburgh are being heavily criticized for their depiction of Vice President Harris in a float.Photos of the float in Wednesday night's parade in Mount Pleasant, in Westmoreland County, show a utility vehicle decorated with American flags and campaign signs for former President Donald Trump and people dressed as United States Secret Service agents with what appears to be a rifle mounted on top and with a person dressed as Harris chained up and walking behind the cart. KDKA-TV later learned it was a fake gun.

The photos have gone viral on social media and the response was overwhelmingly negative, with many calling the float racist and offensive. In a statement on Facebook on Thursday night, the Mount Pleasant Volunteer Fire Department apologized "for allowing the offensive participants" to be in the parade. "We do not share in the values represented by those participants, and we understand how it may have hurt or offended members of our community," the post said.
The department said it has "traditionally only provided safety & traffic control" during the parade, but didn't elaborate on how the float made it into the parade or who was involved."We will be reviewing our planning processes to prevent a situation like this from happening again. Thank you for your understanding and support as we work to make our events more welcoming for everyone," the post added. Daylon A. Davis, the president of the NAACP Pittsburgh branch, said in a statement that, "This appalling portrayal goes beyond the realm of Halloween satire or free expression; it is a harmful symbol that evokes a painful history of violence, oppression, and racism that Black and Brown communities have long endured here in America."We urge the event organizers and local leaders to implement clearer guidelines to prevent this type of hateful and hurtful display from occurring in the future. We also ask that they offer an apology and make a public commitment to anti-racist values that affirm the dignity and equality of all people."
Mount Pleasant Mayor Diane Bailey condemned the portrayal of Harris. (Be aware: Viewers may find that video offensive)"I was appalled, angered, upset," she said on Thursday. "This does not belong in this parade or in this town."The mayor said it's up to the fire department to make changes."They've never taken applications in the past," Mayor Bailey said. "They've never vetted anyone who wanted to come to the parade."Westmoreland County leaders, many of whom are Democrats, met in the courtyard of the Westmoreland County Courthouse to speak out against the float on Friday. "The disturbing display at the Mount Pleasant Halloween parade on Oct. 30 does not represent who we are in Westmoreland County," said Ted Kopas, a Westmoreland County Commissioner. KDKA-TV Investigative Producer Tory Wegerski contributed to this report.

The mailer attempts to tie Democratic congressional candidate Shomari Figures to Vice President Kamala Harris on the issue of transgender rights.supplied imageBy John Sharp | [email protected] head of the Alabama GOP and Democratic congressional candidate Shomari Figures are blasting each other this week over two controversial mailers, paid for by the state political party, circulating through the district in the final week of the campaign.One of the mailers is also drawing sharp criticism from representatives of the LGBTQ community for including a distorted image of Figures’ face placed over the distorted image of Vice President Kamala Harris’ face with a statement that reads, “Look Closer, Man or Woman? In Their World, It Doesn’t Matter. On the Transgender Agenda, Shomari Figures and Kamala Harris are the same.”“These mailers are nothing short of disgusting,” said Kaitlyn Burkett, co-administrator with Trans Pride of Mobile. “Focusing your attack on your opponent based on them possibly sticking up for a marginalized, disadvantaged community that deserves constitutional protections not political persecution, is appalling.”The second mailer questions Figures’ support of clemency initiatives leading to criminals reoffending includes a picture of a Black man with the message, “Supports releasing dangerous criminals onto Alabama streets like a revolving door. Now Alabama is in danger.”Figures called the mailer a “racial dog whistle.”A mailer circulating in the 2nd congressional district paid for by the Alabama Republican Party, that attacks Democratic candidate Shomari Figures on the issue of clemency.supplied imageFigures also blasted the Alabama GOP, saying the past 20 years of Republican leadership in the state has led to one of the lowest life expectancies in the U.S., and low rankings for worker wages, children’s literacy rates, and high violent crime rates while the rest of the nation is experiencing a decline.“Alabama Republicans have been bad for health, bad for workers, bad for education, and bad on crime,” Figures said. “They know they can’t win on these issues, so they put out race-baiting ads with pictures of a ‘scary Black man,’ and put out altered images of me and tell lies about my positions.”He added, “They don’t talk about local problems because they’ve only made them worse over the last 20 years they’ve been in control in Alabama,” Figures said. Crime and raceThe mailers first drew a rebuke on Sunday during a Figures campaign event in Montgomery, after Democratic Texas U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett called them “nonsense,” and representated a party without a substantive policy platform. Crockett said Republican congressional candidate Caroleene Dobson was nothing more than a “rubber stamp” for presidential candidate Donald Trump.The Dobson campaign referred comments about the mailers to the Alabama GOP.In a statement to AL.com on Tuesday, Alabama State GOP chairman John Wahl blasted Figures for his stance on clemency programs and for supporting the Democratic Party’s “radical views on transgender policies and the sexualization of our children.”A mailer circulating in the 2nd congressional district paid for by the Alabama Republican Party that attacks Democratic candidate Shomari Figures' position on clemency.supplied imageOn clemency, Wahl said it is “incredibly insulting” for Figures to label the message on the mailer as a “racial issue.” The clemency mailers include an image of Brosarick Trammell, who is Black, and who was released from prison in 2017 and arrested in 2023 for trafficking fentanyl and other offense, the mailer reads.Another mailer includes a picture of Trammell and Joseph Burgos, who is white and was released from prison in 2015 and convicted this year for trafficking opioids.“Crime affects people of all backgrounds, and every victim deserves justice, regardless of race,” Wahl said. “Many of these potentially dangerous criminals were released into minority communities that already struggle to get the help they need to control rising crime. Releasing dangerous criminals early is not a racial issue; it’s a commonsense issue, and people of all backgrounds deserve safe communities where they can raise their families in peace.”Wahl said Figures is “not the leader who will stand up for the Black community” on safety and said that the Alabama Republican Party “views every individual as a child of Almighty God, without regard of color of their skins.”Clemency stance Shomari Figures speaks ahead of a panel discussion during a campaign event on Sunday, Oct. 27, 2024, at Pilgrim Rest Missionary Baptist Church in Montgomery, Ala.John SharpFigures, in response, said the Alabama GOP should send out a mailer with Trump’s face on it.“Wait, the party running a criminal as its presidential nominee is concerned about criminals in society?” Figures said. “Go figure.”Figures, a White House liaison for the U.S. Department of Justice for President Barack Obama, said the clemency initiative targeted individuals who had been convicted of non-violent drug offenses under old sentencing laws that had since been changed by the Republican-led Congress.“Previous laws unfairly treated crack cocaine much more severely than powder cocaine,” Figures said. “This resulted in hundreds of thousands of people, primarily Black men, being sent to prison for insanely long prison terms for non-violent, low-level drug offenses, even when they didn’t have a long criminal history, or in many cases, no criminal history.”Figures noted that Trump, during his presidency, kept clemency going for past drug offenders.“I dare them to say that Donald Trump was just releasing criminals back into society,” Figures said, accusing the republicans and Dobson for being OK with “just locking up as many Black men in Alabama s possible for as long as possible.”Transgender rightsWahl also blasted Figures for supporting what he said were “out-of-touch policies” in support of transgender issues, including gender-affirming care. The issue animated the last debate between Figures and Dobson, with the Republican candidate linking him to support of “sex changes.”Dobson, during the Oct. 24 debate, claimed Figures owns the policies of the Justice Department, where Figures most recently served as deputy chief of staff and counselor to U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland, including the agency’s challenge of the Alabama law banning gender-affirming care for minors.“The Democratic Party is clearly pushing policies that allow biological men into girls’ bathrooms and locker roomers, permits transgender athletes in women’s sports, and even advocate for taxpayer-funded sex changes for inmates in prison,” Wahl said. “These out-of-touch policies highlight just how disconnected the Democratic Party has become from Alabama values and Alabama voters.”The Alabama Transgender Rights Action Coalition (ALTRAC), in a statement, said they “don’t see much point in getting a statement on something so deeply unserious” other than to agree with Crockett’s statement that if the GOP had “substantive policy, the Republicans in this race wouldn’t need to attack a minority group.”“We greatly appreciate Figures sticking to the issues that matter to the lives of everyday Alabamians and not getting caught up in the attempts by conservatives to throw transgender Alabamians into their manufactured culture war,” the statement reads.Chance Shaw, executive director of Rainbow Pride of Mobile – like Burkett – called the mailer “disgusting.”“The Alabama Republican Party refuses to stand on actual issues Alabamians care about and instead grandstands with fear-mongering rhetoric like this,” Shaw said.Alabama Congressional District 2 raceRep.

BOZEMAN, Mont. (AP) — After 18 years working to topple Montana Democratic U.S. Sen. Jon Tester, Republicans in Big Sky Country see potential victory and control of the Senate majority within their grasp in an increasingly acrimonious contest that’s shattering campaign spending records.Montana voters, meanwhile, are getting worn out — deluged by negative ads on their TVs, radios, phones and in their mailboxes. Tester won by a narrow, 3,500-vote margin in 2006 and has held on for three terms despite a dramatic political re-alignment across the U.S. Northern Plains. He’s confronting what analysts say is his most serious challenge yet in Republican Tim Sheehy, a former U.S. Navy SEAL and wealthy aerospace executive aligned with former President Donald Trump.The two sides have dueling ad campaigns with similar goals: Tear down the opponent.
A Sheehy ad talks about rampant corruption in Washington and calls Tester “one of the worst offenders.” A Tester ad labels Sheehy a “fake cowboy” and attacks him for lying about a bullet wound in his arm.At a weekend Tester rally in Bozeman, Montana — where Sheehy in August held an event with Trump that drew thousands of people — the crowd for the incumbent lawmaker numbered in the dozens.

Josh Olsen, an outdoor guide and Tester voter, worried that as Montana’s population expands, its electorate is becoming too partisan to back the grain farmer from the tiny town of Big Sandy who is counting on his cross-party appeal to give him another term.
“A hundred percent I’m worried about it,” said Olsen. “There’s more partisan people coming here...If they’re coming here and they’re Republicans, they’re voting for Sheehy.”Tester, 68, entered office as one of a half dozen Democratic senators in a five-state region stretching from Nebraska to Canada. He’s the last one still in office, and Republicans have spent years trying to chip away at his support, particularly in rural areas.
Montana is one of the least-densely populated states in the U.S., and only about a quarter of its residents live in cities of 50,000 or more.“Outside the cities of Montana, Republicans have made gains in most of the towns and rural counties,” said political analyst Jeremy Johnson at Carroll College. “That’s a challenge for Democrats.”‘Obscene’ amounts of moneyRepublicans have a two-seat deficit in the Senate. Democrats, desperate to retain their majority, are on track to outspend Republicans by almost $50 million in the Montana race, according to Federal Election Commission filings and data from the media tracking firm AdImpact. Total spending is expected to exceed $315 million, or about $487 for each of the state’s 648,000 active registered voters — a record for a congressional race on a per-voter basis, according to party officials.Former Montana Gov. Marc Racicot called the flood of money into the sparsely populated state “absolutely obscene.” It comes more than a decade after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down political spending restrictions on corporations and unions.“You can’t stand to even turn on TV,” Racicot said in an interview. “You’re just confronted constantly with this anger, grievance, sloganeering — everything that goes on in these campaigns — because there’s so much money involved. It’s an abomination.”
If Sheehy wins, a Republican-majority Senate can hamstring Democrats’ agenda should Vice President Kamala Harris win the White House. Similarly, a Tester victory could help Democrats counter a Trump administration’s actions.Much of the money traces back to shadowy political committees with wealthy donors. The non-partisan Campaign Legal Center has sued over alleged financial transparency violations by a pro-Tester group, Last Best Place PAC, that has amplified some of the most incendiary claims against Sheehy. Another complaint from the advocacy group charges that a straw donor was used to conceal more than $2.5 million in contributions to political committees, including one supporting Sheehy. The allegations are unlikely to be resolved before the election.
Trump on the ballotTrump won Montana overwhelmingly in 2016 and 2020. The 2024 election is the first where both Tester and Trump are on the ballot.Sheehy’s campaign themes largely mirror those of Trump and the national party. He rails against immigration, inflation and social issues such as transgender children in sports.Democrats hitched Tester’s campaign to abortion and women’s health care, hoping the backlash that surfaced even in Republican-leaning states after the Supreme Court’s 2022 decision to overturn Roe v. Wade will continue. Tester has distanced himself from Harris and other Democratic leaders. That political isolation reflects the GOP’s gains over the past two decades with rural voters who once backed Democrats.Tester’s campaign has outraised Sheehy’s by more than three-to-one, propelled by a massive influx of small out-of-state donations after Democrats raised alarms over the race. “Jon Tester has more money but dollars don’t vote,” Sheehy’s campaign said in a statement. “Montanans just want common sense: a secure border, safe streets, cheap gas, cops are good and criminals are bad, boys are boys and girls are girls.”
Lies and lobbyistsSheehy, who arrived in Montana a decade ago and compares himself to early European settlers, has sought to turn Tester’s Senate tenure into a liability.Republicans allege a pattern of campaign donations flowing to the Democrat from industries that needed his vote. Tester previously faced scrutiny over donations from bank executives affected by a 2018 regulatory roll back and Lockheed Martin employees who benefited from a 2021 defense bill. There’s no indication of wrongdoing or that the contributions swayed Tester.He ranks as the number one recipient of lobbyist cash among members of Congress, with $500,000 in donations this election cycle, and has raised $88 million overall.Tester said in an interview following the Bozeman rally that he doesn’t know who donates to him or if any lobbyists were there that night. “I’ve got policies to write, people to get on board,” he said. “If it makes sense for Montana, I’ll support it.”Sheehy has money pouring in from national groups, too. He’s received $109,000 from lobbyists and previously lobbied government officials himself, seeking business for the aerial firefighting company he founded with his brother.Sheehy has no prior political experience and has avoided in-depth interviews. He’s faced blowback over derogatory remarks he made to supporters about Native Americans and questions about the bullet wound in his arm, which he has said came from a firefight in Afghanistan.Sheehy told a Glacier National Park ranger in 2015 that the wound was self-inflicted. Park Ranger Kim Peach, now retired, earlier this month publicly accused Sheehy of lying when he says it was from combat.Peach repeated the accusation in a subsequent advertisement from a pro-Tester PAC and acknowledged the ad was recorded before he went public, despite initially telling The Associated Press that he was unconnected to Democratic groups.Republicans said Peach wasn’t credible.“He’s shifting his story left and right because he is a liar and a Democrat partisan,” said Mike Berg with the National Republican Senatorial Committee.Tester said Sheehy should release his medical records to clear up the dispute, adding: “Stolen valor is a huge problem.”

NBA superstar LeBron James endorsed Kamala Harris for president, posting on Instagram that the “choice is clear” in the election.
This afternoon, James posted a video of Donald Trump using extreme and violent rhetoric. The video also included a clip of comedian Tony Hinchcliffe from Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally earlier this week, making a racist joke about he and a Black friend carving “watermelons together.” The video ended with the message, “Hate Takes Us Back.”
James wrote, “What are we even talking about here?? When I think about my kids and my family and how they will grow up, the choice is clear to me. VOTE KAMALA HARRIS!!!” He has 159 million followers on Instagram.

James has previously spoken out against Trump, and he endorsed Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in the 2020 election. As he did this cycle, his endorsement came just days before the vote. “We need EVERYTHING to change,” James wrote.
James also endorsed Hillary Clinton in 2016 and Barack Obama in his presidential runs.
Watch on Deadline
Harris had launched an athletes group for her campaign in September, and Steve Kerr and Stephen Curry appeared at the Democratic National Convention. James, though, waited until now to endorse, leading to some speculation that he would sit on the sidelines given the polarized nature of the campaign.

For LeBron James, “the choice is clear” about who to vote for president. On Thursday, the Los Angeles Lakers player officially endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as he shared a video compilation of the hate and racism spread by former President Donald Trump and his campaign.
“What are we even talking about here?” James captioned alongside the clip, which included headlines of David Duke, the former Ku Klux Klan leader, supporting Trump, along with the former president’s racist rhetoric toward migrants and the Black community.
“When I think about my kids and my family and how they will grow up, the choice is clear to me,” wrote James, who ended the post with: “VOTE KAMALA HARRIS!!!”
View this post on Instagram A post shared by 👑 (@kingjames)
The video — shared to James’ 159 million Instagram followers and 53 million X followers — included clips of comedian Tony Hinchcliffe’s racist speech at Madison Square Garden about a Black friend “carving watermelons together.”
James has consistently endorsed Democratic presidential candidates dating back to Barack Obama’s presidential runs in 2008 and 2012. He also endorsed Hillary Clinton in 2016 and endorsed Joe Biden in the 2020 election, writing, “We need EVERYTHING to change,” at the time.
The basketball star joins other NBA icons, including Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr and guard Stephen Curry, who have endorsed Harris for president. Both Curry and Kerr spoke at the Democratic National Convention over the summer.
The dedicated Athletes for Harris cohort has several big names, among them Mel Blount, Marv Levy, Willie Roaf, Magic Johnson, Billie Jean King, Ali Krieger, Candace Parker, Thomas Booker, and Chris Paul.
“I have known Vice President Harris for over 25 years, and you can count on her to deliver on what she says she is going to do,” Magic Johnson wrote in a statement following her debate against Trump. “She’ll be a President for all people, no matter the race, language, sexual orientation, or party line. She showed all of us — and showed the world — that she was ready to be President, how smart she is, and her plan for the country in that debate.”

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — A Florida school board candidate who lost his race in a county south of Jacksonville will get a seat on the board anyway, after Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis tapped him to fill a vacancy.Derek Barrs will take an open seat on the Flagler County School Board in northeast Florida, succeeding a member who resigned in September, allowing DeSantis to appoint a replacement rather than the seat going on the ballot for voters to decide.Barrs is a consultant with infrastructure design firm HNTB and a retired chief of the Florida Highway Patrol who campaigned with a focus on school safety and student achievement. He won DeSantis’ endorsement in his bid for the board but lost his Aug. 20 race by 290 votes to Janie Ruddy, a former teacher in the district.DeSantis has done more to influence local education policies and politics than any Florida governor in recent memory. In the name of “parental rights”, DeSantis has banned instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity and limited what Florida schools can teach about racism and U.S. history, and he’s both endorsed a slate of his preferred candidates and targeted incumbent members he wants voted out.
“Derek is a candidate who is committed to fighting for schools to get back to the fundamentals,” DeSantis said in his endorsement of Barrs. “Derek has pledged to serve on the school board with a focus on student success, parental rights, and curriculum transparency.”

In an interview with The Associated Press, Barrs pushed back on the assertion that he might owe DeSantis his political allegiance on the board, saying he’s focused on building relationships across the community and improving outcomes for all students.
“I don’t owe anybody anything,” Barrs said, “other than working for our students every day and making sure that they have the best quality education possible in our school district.”
Under state law, the governor can appoint someone to fill a vacant state or county seat if there’s less than 28 months left in the term for that office.It’s not the first time a DeSantis-endorsed school board candidate has lost their race and been elevated into office anyway.In August, the governor tapped Daniel Foganholi for a slot on the State Board of Education after he lost his bid to keep his seat on the Broward County School Board by more than 30%. DeSantis had appointed Foganholi to the Fort Lauderdale-area school board two times, though Foganholi never won an election to the body.___Kate Payne is a corps member for The Associated Press/Report for America Statehouse News Initiative.

Start your day with TPM.

I’ve written a few times in recent weeks about the pretzels into which Donald Trump’s Republican allies are twisting his words as they try to defend and explain away his sinister remarks about deploying the military domestically to go after his “enemy.” The rhetoric has been a throughline of Trump’s campaign, as he and alumni of his first administration threaten to use the military as a goon squad to crack down on Americans if elected.
His Republican allies have defended the remarks in all sorts of creative and interesting ways, with many offering alternative ideas for who he might be talking about instead of his political rivals. Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin got imaginative recently when he suggested that Trump is actually talking about undocumented immigrants when he says “enemy from within.”
“What I want to just make very clear is that it’s my belief that what former President Trump is talking about are the people that are coming over the border, that in fact are committing crimes, that are bringing drugs, that are trafficking humans, and that are turning every state into a border state,” Youngkin said.
But in recent weeks Trump has doubled down on his remarks, and has made it clear repeatedly that he does, in fact, actually mean his political rivals: Democratic politicians. Specifically, Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff.
During his rally in Albuquerque, New Mexico this afternoon, he reiterated that he’s talking about Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), the person he blames for his impeachments. Today, he called him “total scum.”
“There’s no tougher job than being president and we get hit from the enemy inside, you know that right? We get hit by the Adam Schiffs of the world,” he said. “He’s scum, total scum. They made up Russia Russia Russia hoax, they made up all the impeachment hoaxes, they make it up. They’re bad people.”
Can’t be more explicit than that.

If Trump wins, there’s a very good chance he will have his DoJ arrest Democratic politicians and throw them in jail based on nothing. Schiff and Pelosi might go first, but they won’t be the last. If he loses, Republicans and MAGA supporters will continue to go after the same people, threatening or committing violent acts. We’re going to be stuck with them for a while unfortunately, the awfulness with be Trump’s legacy.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — A co-chair of Donald Trump’s transition team said Trump supporter Robert F. Kennedy Jr. wants access to federal health data so he can show vaccines are unsafe and lead to them being pulled from the market in a second Trump administration.Howard Lutnick echoed a number of Kennedy’s debunked anti-vaccine talking points in a CNN interview Wednesday, including falsehoods about the vaccine schedule and the disproven theory that vaccines cause autism. Trump has talked often about how Kennedy, who suspended his own presidential bid and endorsed him in August, will have a big role to play if the former president returns to the White House.While Lutnick said Kennedy would not be chosen as secretary of health and human services, he was not specific about what Kennedy’s role might be. Lutnick made the comments the same day that Kennedy told NewsNation that Trump asked him to “reorganize” agencies including the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the National Institutes of Health, the Food and Drug Administration and some agencies under the Department of Agriculture.
The comments by Lutnick raised immediate concerns among public health experts that giving influence to one of the most prominent anti-vaccine activists in the world could lead to what one said would be “severe health consequences” for Americans, especially children. They come just days before the Nov. 5 election and as Trump, a Republican, and Democrat Kamala Harris are vying to sway late-deciding voters to their side.

Lutnick, the CEO of the financial services company Cantor Fitzgerald, told CNN that Kennedy wants access to data “so he can say these things are unsafe” and that will stop the sales.
“He says, if you give me the data, all I want is the data and I’ll take on the data and show that it’s not safe. And then if you pull the product liability, the companies will yank these vaccines right off of the market. So that’s his point,” Lutnick said.
It was unclear what data Lutnick was referring to since extensive data and research on vaccine safety is publicly available.The World Health Organization has estimated that global immunization efforts have saved at least 154 million lives in the past 50 years. In recent days, Trump has said he would let Kennedy “go wild” on health, food and medicines. Kennedy has said repeatedly that he plans to exercise his influence over a wide range of policies if Trump wins and said Trump had promised him control over health agencies and told him he wanted him to reorganize them.Asked about Kennedy’s comments and his role in a Trump administration, Jason Miller, a senior adviser for the campaign said the only thing Trump and his campaign are focused on is winning on Nov. 5.“Everything after that is after that, and President Trump has made clear that Bobby Kennedy will play an important role,” Miller wrote.It would be “extremely dangerous” to put Kennedy in a position of power where he could make decisions or have the ability to change regulatory policy, said Joshua Sharfstein, vice dean for public health practice at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
“Removing vaccines from the market would lead to severe health consequences for America,” said Sharfstein, a former deputy commissioner of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. “We go about our daily lives in the United States not worrying about a lot of preventable diseases like measles because of the protection that the vaccines provide. But if there were to be a systematic effort to use the tools of the federal government to undermine vaccination, children won’t be safe. Full stop.”Even if Kennedy is given a lesser role where he provides input and comments but doesn’t have control over policy, it could still be damaging, according to people who have served in public health roles in government.“Advisers like Scott Atlas have demonstrated the significant influence they can wield without congressional oversight, raising fears of misinformation and harm,” Trump’s own surgeon general, Dr. Jerome Adams, wrote in an email, referring to Trump’s former COVID-19 pandemic advisor, a radiologist with no background in infectious disease, who advocated for the widely discredited herd immunity strategy.
Adams said he believed it was unlikely that Kennedy could be appointed to lead a major health agency because he has no medical expertise, it would likely be difficult for him to pass a background check for a top secret clearance and he’d likely lack support in Congress — though Trump circumvented the background check system during his first administration and stocked his Cabinet with acting officials who had not received congressional approval.Kennedy’s anti-vaccine organization has a lawsuit pending against news organizations including The Associated Press, accusing them of violating antitrust laws by taking action to identify misinformation, including about COVID-19 and COVID-19 vaccines. Kennedy is on leave from the group but is listed as one of its attorneys in the lawsuit.
Republican lawmakers have long enjoyed – and reciprocated – support from pharmaceutical companies, even vowing to dismantle a law signed by Democratic President Joe Biden that allows the government to negotiate the price of prescription drugs for Medicare enrollees. Republicans have argued the law will hurt the businesses and stifle innovation in the industry. But vaccine skepticism, growing across the country, has become deeper among conservatives.In addition to people’s health and well-being, the possibility that Kennedy’s influence would result in debunked ideas like a vaccine link to autism being again dredged up and wasting time, energy and money disheartened public health advocates. “Trump helped bring the vaccine to market, and he took the vaccine. ... I don’t know why he’s giving this person this mouthpiece,” said Amy Pisani, CEO of Vaccinate Your Family, noting Trump’s Operation Warp Speed helped bring the COVID-19 vaccine to market, though Kennedy has relentlessly attacked it.Vaccinate Your Family is a nonpartisan group co-founded by former first lady Rosalynn Carter and former Arkansas first lady Betty Bumpers that has worked on vaccine programs with both Republican and Democratic presidential administrations for the past 30 years.“I don’t want to go back 30 years to fighting the anti-vaccine movement again,” Pisani said. “To go back in time and waste millions and millions of taxpayer dollars on this witch hunt again is just untenable.”___Associated Press writer Amanda Seitz in Washington contributed to this report.

From The New York Times to The Atlantic, from CNN to The New York Review of Books, liberals and socialists alike have asked the same question: Is it happening here?Answers have run the gamut. Some insist that the similarities between contemporary American populism and fascism—their shared racism, reliance on the petit bourgeois, hypernationalism, and xenophobia—indicate that fascism, finally, has come to America. Others disagree, maintaining that the enabling structural conditions of classical European fascism—firsthand experience of total war, a powerful left, and a relatively weak state capable of being taken over—no longer exist, and that, whatever right-wing populism is, describing it as “fascist” occludes more than it illuminates.Fascism Comes to America: A Century of Obsession in Politics and Culture by Bruce Kuklick Buy on BookshopUniversity of Chicago Press, 264 pp., $35.00 Into this fray enters the intellectual historian Bruce Kuklick, whose Fascism Comes to America provides an entirely new perspective on a debate that’s become a bit exhausting. Unlike other pundits and thinkers, Kuklick is not interested in whether “fascism” as such has arrived in the United States. Rather, he’s concerned with how the term itself has been used in the last century of American discourse.“Fascism,” Kuklick’s exhaustive survey of U.S. politics and culture shows, has generally functioned as a so-called floating signifier. In the words of the anthropologist Claude Lévi-Strauss, who originated the phrase, a floating signifier is a term “void of meaning and thus apt to receive any meaning.” At one point or another, every political perspective in the United States has been identified as fascist. In the last two decades alone, Jonah Goldberg railed against “liberal fascism” as Chris Hedges dubbed the “Christian Right” “American fascists.” Dinesh D’Souza claimed that Hillary Clinton was fascist; Paul Krugman said the same about Trump. And even fringe ideologies weren’t safe: Sebastian Gorka linked socialism with fascism, while Nouriel Roubini made similar claims about libertarianism.The one consistent quality the term “fascism” has retained since the 1930s is its negative valence. Almost no one uses it positively; instead, to borrow Kuklick’s acid description, the term is the verbal equivalent of “throwing a tomato at a speaker at a public event.” “Fascism,” Kuklick shows, “does not so much isolate a thing as it does some stigmatizing.” Indeed, fascism’s power in American discourse comes from the fact that it has no stable meaning—it’s mostly an all-purpose curse word, a highfalutin “fuck this”—which means that the fascism debate, as currently constructed, can never end.
Fascism’s power in American discourse comes from the fact that it has no stable meaning—it’s mostly an all-purpose curse word, a highfalutin “fuck this”—which means that the fascism debate, as currently constructed, can never end.The term “fascism” first entered popular discourse in 1921, when Italian dictator Benito Mussolini christened his political party the National Fascist Party. Mussolini employed the word, which derives from the Italian fascio, meaning “bundle,” for two reasons. First, it signified his conviction that the Italian people were stronger when individuals acted as a coherent unit. Second, it referenced the Roman “fasces,” a bundle of rods ancient magistrates used to symbolize their strength and, if necessary, to flog wrongdoers. With this one word, Mussolini displayed both the promise and threat of his movement.Initially, some American intellectuals were intrigued by the romance of Italian fascism. One prominent example was Herbert Croly—a founder of The New Republic—who saw in fascism a potential means to rescue a Progressivism that by the 1920s was in steep decline. Croly insisted that Mussolini’s vibrant movement rhymed with American-style Progressivism: Both fascism and Progressivism emphasized “supraindividual obligations” to people and nation over parochial individualistic ones and fetishized pragmatic politics. Mussolini, in fact, even listed the pragmatist philosopher William James, a lodestone for Progressives, as a primary influence. To thinkers like Croly, these similarities suggested that fascists might have something to teach Americans.“Fascism” only became a dirty word in American discourse in the 1930s, as Mussolini’s Italy became increasingly associated with Adolf Hitler’s Germany. As they had admired Mussolini, some Americans initially admired Hitler for his seeming ability to reinvigorate German society through the establishment of programs like “Strength Through Joy,” which encouraged internal tourism. But by the mid-1930s the luster began to come off both Nazism and Italian fascism. In 1934, Hitler violently purged his own ranks in the infamous Night of the Long Knives. A year later, the German dictator passed the Nuremberg Laws while the Italian one invaded Ethiopia; a year after that, Germany seized the Rhineland, and Hitler and Mussolini united to form the Rome-Berlin Axis.These events led Americans to identify Mussolini with Hitler—and fascism with Nazism. Because Americans concluded that Mussolini was “in the thrall of Hitler,” by the end of the 1930s “the negative connotation of fascism had become irrevocably blurred: while the Italians hardly counted, Hitler was routinely and haphazardly identified as fascist.” Il Duce was left in der Führer’s dust.But even at this early stage in its history, fascism functioned as more than a neutral descriptor; it instead acted as a “foul noun of preference” that Americans “deployed … against anyone with whom they disagreed politically.” The most popular targets of opprobrium were President Franklin Delano Roosevelt and his New Deal. At various points in the 1930s, a number of notable figures derided FDR or the New Deal as “fascist,” including liberal philosopher John Dewey (who worried FDR was creating a “police state”), socialist politician Norman Thomas (who worried FDR was beginning to resemble Mussolini), former Republican President Herbert Hoover (who likewise worried FDR was too similar to European dictators), and populist Senator Huey Long (who worried FDR was too close to the business class). But the president was hardly the only one ridiculed in this fashion. As Kuklick highlights, until the U.S. entry into World War II, “everyone called anyone a fascist.”No incident displays the term’s malleability more than an informal 1937 survey undertaken by the social theorist Stuart Chase, who asked almost 100 people “what ‘fascism’ meant to them.” The respondents offered a range of diverse, even antithetical, definitions: A lawyer said “fascism” was “a coercive capitalistic state,” while a housewife identified it as the “same thing as communism”; an author answered that it was “an all-powerful police force,” while a farmer characterized it as “lawlessness”; a social worker described it as “government in the interest of the majority,” while a journalist insisted it was “undesired government of [the] masses by a self-seeking, fanatical minority.” Still, while the respondents provided diverse interpretations of fascism, most agreed that, whatever fascism was, they didn’t like it. Or as a schoolboy put it with youthful bravado, fascism was “something that’s got to be licked.”It took the U.S. entry into World War II to solidify how “fascism” was used. Once the United States joined the Allied effort after the 1941 Japanese attacks on Pearl Harbor and other U.S. possessions, political categories crystallized. Now, “America battled Germany, Italy, and Japan—countries all specified as fascist.” Though FDR still had his critics, they were less likely to designate the president a fascist. In short, the identification of the Axis as fascist and the wartime desire for unity combined to make haphazard allegations of fascism a thing of the past—at least for a time.
One might have expected “fascism” to perish in 1945 along with the Nazi regime with which it was associated. But, while the term was used far less after the war than it was during it, it nonetheless became a permanent part of the American lexicon. Why didn’t fascism die an ignoble death like once-popular but eventually discarded political identifications like Whig, Know-Nothing, and Dixiecrat?The reason, Kuklick argues, is that by the time the United States entered the war, American governance had begun to be defined by a novel approach to politics dubbed “welfare liberalism,” whose proponents positioned themselves against “fascism on the right and communism on the left.”Strange as it seems to us today, before the 1940s Americans rarely employed the European political spectrum, which pitted a reactionary “right” against a socialist “left,” to understand their own politics. Instead, most literate Americans believed that their country enjoyed “its own political divisions that sat apart from those of Europe.” Whenever Americans did make use of the European spectrum, it was usually to point to a radical “left” of which they wanted little part. In a sense, before the 1940s, the United States had an immoderate left but no “immoderate right.” Abhorrent tendencies in U.S. politics presently identified as on the far right, such as avowed white supremacy, resided comfortably in the mainstream, especially since the Democratic Party relied on its segregationist wing to pass and promote the New Deal.The welfare liberals changed this by strategically utilizing the European political spectrum to define themselves as the moderate center. To do so, they needed an extreme right wing, and they found one in fascism. By developing and promoting an American political spectrum that placed fascism on the extreme right and communism on the extreme left, liberals were able to present themselves and their platform—limited government intervention at home, support for “democracy” abroad—as the embodiment of a rational, “vital center.” Put another way, during and after World War II, fascism became a useful foil against which centrist liberals defined themselves and justified the creation of an expanded welfare state and U.S. empire that, for the first time in history, spanned much of the globe.From the late 1940s to the late 1960s, “fascism”—which surpassed Nazism and National Socialism in common usage—had a relatively stable meaning: It referred to the extreme right-wing of the recently adopted political spectrum. Nevertheless, one must be careful not to overstate the term’s import; for most of this period, it was communism, not fascism, that preoccupied the American mind. In fact, it was primarily German exiles like Albert Einstein, Theodor Adorno, and Herbert Marcuse who kept the term in circulation.Benito Mussolini at a rally in Rome in 1936.

Things changed—or rather returned to their pre–World War II state—during the Vietnam War. Anti-war baby boomers, who had not fought fascism firsthand, but who had grown up in its dark shadow, once again started to apply the term to politicians across the political spectrum, from Lyndon Baines Johnson to Richard Nixon. Fascism thus retained its exceedingly negative valence, but was, Kuklick shows, “untethered … from the right” and even “uncoupled from any perceptive characteristics.” If you really didn’t like someone or something, you called them fascist.This is not to say that those who used the term never had noble intentions, especially from the perspective of the left. In several instances, left-wing thinkers concluded that they needed to employ “fascism” to help Americans appreciate that sometimes the policies of their liberal capitalist society uncomfortably mirrored those of Nazi Germany. In particular, when Angela Davis used the term in her 1971 essay “Political Prisoners, Prisons, and Black Liberation” to inveigh against “the fascist content of the ruthless aggression in Indo-China” and “the fascist stronghold in the prisons,” she was trying to force people to confront painful and profound instances of violence, oppression, and injustice.But Davis’s form of use never predominated, and in general, for much of the 1960s onward, innumerable people deployed the term in innumerable ways. Everyone, from Ronald Reagan to Bill Clinton, from Barack Obama to George W. Bush, has at one point or another been deemed a “fascist.”Fascism, in other words, has not generally functioned as a term of analysis—as Kuklick demonstrates, it doesn’t have “much empirical content.” It is instead “a part of language that is more evaluative than factual.” For most of its American history, fascism has been an insult, a performative reflection of the user’s desire to make the object of their derision disreputable.Kuklick is therefore “skeptical” of the mounds of scholarly research that have utilized “fascist” to describe governments, movements, and people not linked to Mussolini’s Italy or Hitler’s Germany. Like much research into political topics, this work, he claims, “continues politics by other methods” and “displays standard sentiments as much as … disinterested information.”There are manifold homegrown American phenomena that shaped the past for the worse. We hardly need to import a term with a foreign valence to explain (and thus implicitly detach ourselves from) that history.Kuklick is especially critical of attempts to read fascism into the American past, which many scholars have done since the late 1960s. Finding fascism in U.S. history, he warns, “distances U.S. citizens from their own past” by insisting that “dangerous challenges … must have migrated from overseas.” There are manifold homegrown American phenomena that shaped the past for the worse—genocidal racism, rapacious militarism, and a violent obsession with incarcerating minorities were not fascist inventions—and we hardly need to import a term with a foreign valence to explain (and thus implicitly detach ourselves from) that history.
Why has “fascism” been able to serve such a protean function? According to Kuklick, it’s because fascism hasn’t been, and never was, a real threat in the United States. As he usefully reminds us, “living, breathing Nazis—the German-American Bundists and William Dudley Pelley’s Silver Legion of the 1930s; George Lincoln Rockwell’s American Nazi Party of the 1960s; or the neo-Nazis of the 21st century”—were all minuscule groups that never came close to wielding political power. The conditions that enabled fascism’s rise—a broad experience of total war and a powerful left on the verge of seizing power—were just never present here. It was precisely this lack of threat that allowed fascism to become a generalized term of vilification. If there were actual fascists running around, you wouldn’t go around calling everyone fascist.Another reason “fascism” has been so protean is that, unlike liberalism and conservatism, it’s not a living ideology—and never really was in the United States. No self-identified fascist is taken seriously in American society. There are no genuinely fascist op-ed columnists, no fascist TV commentators, no fascist celebrities, no fascist elected officials. You’re unlikely to find people reading actual fascists outside of European history courses. When a right-wing provocateur like Matt Walsh refers to himself as a “theocratic fascist,” he does so with a wink and nod, knowing that he’s using a term sure to rile up liberals and leftists. Fascism is a dead ideology, which ironically has allowed it to rise from the grave in easily manipulable zombified form.Beyond its versatility, there are several additional reasons why fascism has become such a powerful term in American discourse. First, as Angela Davis’s use of the word suggests, sometimes left-wing thinkers have determined that to impel Americans to confront difficult truths, only the word “fascist” will do. Using the term further enables individuals to indicate that they’re “one of the good guys.” When anti-war activists identified George W. Bush with Hitler in the 2000s, they were not so much making a careful historical analogy as signaling their hatred of Republican warmongers and, in most cases, their allegiance to the Democratic Party.Moreover, in eras like our own, in which rampant polarization co-exists with a political structure in which most citizens have no influence, it’s only natural for people to construct struggles that give their lives political meaning. Identifying “fascists” allows Americans living today to imagine themselves as part of a consequential world-historical fight between good and evil. It’s an ahistorical framing that gives meaning through romantic nostalgia and provides psychic succor to all of us who have no influence in the corridors of power.The contemporary fascism debate is thus about much more than fascism—it’s about people’s sense of self in a moment of anti-popular politics. And it is for this reason that the debate, which on its surface is as academic as a discussion could possibly be, has engendered so much rancor: When you attack someone’s identification of fascism, you’re attacking more than a political diagnosis; you’re attacking their very identity.
Nonetheless, something did change with the rise of Donald Trump, whose success reopened the floodgates of fascism talk. Not since the 1930s and 1940s have the literati obsessed so much over fascism, and not since the 1950s and 1960s has the term been so associated with the political right.At first glance, it’s not obvious why so many more critics identified Trump as fascist instead of, say, George W. Bush. Bush, after all, established government bodies like Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the most Gestapo-like organization in the country, and the Department of Homeland Security, whose name uncomfortably echoes the German Heimatschutz, a term associated with the far right. Moreover, Bush’s policies—undermining FEMA, invading Afghanistan and Iraq—inarguably resulted in the death and displacement of far more people than Trump’s.Some might say that the actions taken by Republicans in the years since 2016 are more dangerous than those they took in the 2000s, that the Trump GOP’s claims of voter fraud and its attempts to limit voter participation threaten democracy in a way Bush’s GOP never did. I find this hard to credit, given that Bush’s many accomplishments—stealing an election, starting pointless wars, violating sundry civil liberties—are objectively more damaging (and more Nazi-like) than anything that Trump and his GOP tried to implement.Others might argue that the rise of far-right groups like the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers, and especially their participation in the “insurrection” of January 6, 2021, suggest that there’s an unprecedented threat to U.S. democracy that only the word “fascism” can describe. But organizations like these have existed for decades and undertaken numerous spectacular acts—the Oklahoma City bombing of 1995 comes immediately to mind, as do the murders of doctors providing abortions—and the term “fascist” was not usually applied to them.A similar argument is sometimes made about the rise of far-right governments around the world in places like Hungary, Poland, Russia, and Turkey. But, again, these types of autocratic governments have long been a feature of international politics and were not generally identified as “fascist.”It therefore seems that one must look elsewhere to explain the explosion of fascism talk since 2016.To my mind, the major reason fascism talk has lately reached a crescendo is that, for the first time in almost a century, liberalism finds itself in crisis. The utopian promises made in the 1990s and 2000s, when liberals averred that we were at “the end of history,” have not come true. The economy has collapsed multiple times. Inequality has increased. U.S. attempts to promote “democracy” abroad have failed as Eastern Europe, once the site of liberalism’s greatest triumph, has lurched to the right. Bernie Sanders has reinvigorated Americans’ interest in social democracy. And the loutish Trump’s victory indicated that many Americans are tired of adhering to liberal norms of engagement and exchange. Liberalism is weaker than it has been since the Great Depression.For most of the twentieth century’s second half, liberalism was kept vigorous and popular because it was able to define itself against a communist enemy, which, liberals affirmed, was the primary obstacle standing in the way of a better world. But communism has been defeated, and 30 years later everything looks and feels pretty much the same, only worse. Liberals therefore need a credible enemy whose viciousness might attract Americans to the centrist cause and, in the process, help them overlook liberals’ manifold and manifest failures. Simply put, fighting fascism provides liberals with an opportunity to reinvigorate their project in a moment of crisis. This is why fascism talk exploded under Trump and not under Bush; under the latter, liberal dreams had not yet curdled.
But this still doesn’t answer the normative question: Should we on the left use the term “fascism”?To many, it might not matter that “fascism” has no coherent analytical meaning—what matters is that it’s a politically useful way, first, to force people to appreciate that U.S.-style liberal democratic capitalism doesn’t prevent oppression of the kind that occurred in Nazi Germany, and, second, to mobilize people against right-wing extremism.I’m not persuaded by the first argument. I have yet to see compelling evidence that indicates invoking fascism leads Americans to confront racialized state violence. Leftists have been using fascism as a term of abuse for decades, and it doesn’t appear to have had much effect on how the population understands society.I am also skeptical of the claim that using the term “fascism” is an important means to mobilize people against the far right. It seems to me that there are likely more meaningful ways to rally one’s side against reaction that are centered less on abstract concepts and more on promising, and giving, people money and benefits, as the recent success of John Fetterman’s populist campaign suggests. Unfortunately, there’s no extant data that can definitively settle the question: According to polls conducted by the firm Citizen Data, in the 2022 midterm elections voters who split their ticket “in five battleground states … were strongly motivated to respond to threats to democracy.” Was the fascism framework an important part of the effort to make voters anxious about democracy’s survival? We just don’t know, though the message “we need to defend democracy” by no means depends on identifying fascism, and we could discard the latter without losing much.As we move further into the twenty-first century, it’s worth asking whether using a twentieth-century term that inevitably invokes images of brown-shirted thugs beating down doors and black-shirted psychopaths running death camps will help us solve the problems we face. Neither climate change, nor inequality, nor structural racism, nor the general hopelessness that has permeated American society will be defeated in ways that resemble the Allies’ defeat of fascism.It may therefore be time to retire the term. Not only is its political utility doubtful, but Kuklick has demonstrated that there is no fascist object “out there” to discover. There is thus no way to end the fascist debate. Agreement or consensus is unlikely to be reached. It’s time to let go. Daniel BessnerDaniel Bessner is an Associate Professor in the Henry M.

The reality, however, is that Trump himself has a long record—singular among American presidents of the modern era—of inciting and threatening violence against his fellow citizens, journalists, and anyone he deems his opposition. At a campaign event on October 31, Trump said of former U.S. Representative Liz Cheney, “She’s a radical war hawk. Let’s put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her, okay? Let’s see how she feels about it ... when the guns are trained on her face.”Below is a partial list of his violent comments, from the 2016 presidential campaign until today.November 2015Play Quote“Maybe he should have been roughed up, because it was absolutely disgusting what he was doing.”November 22, 2015, in response to a Fox News host asking about a heckler at Trump’s rally in Alabama the day beforeFebruary 2016Play Quote“If you see somebody getting ready to throw a tomato, knock the crap out of them, would you?

Mark Cuban sparks fury on The View for controversial comments about women around TrumpComes after Joe Biden called Trump supporters 'garbage' Follow DailyMail.com's politics live blog for all the latest news and updatesBy KATELYN CARALLE, SENIOR U.S. POLITICAL REPORTER IN WASHINGTON, D.C. Published: 14:21 EST, 31 October 2024 | Updated: 02:51 EST, 1 November 2024 e-mail 301 shares 1.3k View comments
Mark Cuban stunned The View hosts by claiming that Donald Trump does not surround himself with 'intelligent women' - and sparked a furious backlash from the former president's inner circle.Trump's supporters tore into the billionaire businessman for his shocking comments on the ABC show just two days after President Joe Biden referred to MAGA fans as 'garbage'.'Donald Trump – you never see him around strong, intelligent women, ever. It's just that simple,' the prominent Kamala Harris supporter said from inside one of his private jets. 'It's just that simple. They're intimidating to him. He doesn't like to be challenged by them.' Host Joy Behar disagreed with Cuban, saying even Stormy Daniels 'was smart', and others were quick to hit out at the Shark Tank co-host.Trump's campaign immediately seized on the remarks as evidence to back its claim that Democrats, including Kamala Harris, despise voters who support the former president. Women are speaking out after businessman Mark Cuban said there are no strong or intelligence women in Donald Trump's circle
Read More Trump leads fury at Biden calling his supporters 'garbage' 'I've got to say, I have known you and respected you and loved you for a really long time,' prominent sports anchor Sage Steele replied to Cuban with a video posted to X. 'What you just said is disrespectful and it crosses the line.' Trump's national press secretary Karoline Leavitt said the comments were 'extremely insulting to the thousands of women who work for President Trump, and the tens of millions of women who are proudly voting for him.''Joe Biden called Trump supporters garbage, and now, Kamala's top surrogate Mark Cuban insinuated female Trump supporters are 'weak and dumb,' she said.'Kamala Harris must immediately condemn Mark Cuban's disrespectful insult to women.' Cuban, who co-owns the Dallas Mavericks NBA team and is worth $6 billion, is one of Kamala Harris most prominent supporters and has been active on the campaign trail for her. Kellyanne Conway, who was Trump's senior counselor from 2017 to 2020, told Fox News Cuban's comments show how 'desperate and concerned' Democrats are about the 2024 election.'They are not certain they are supporting a strong intelligent woman for president,' she said, listing some of the women and mothers who worked at the top ranks of Trump's White House.'It doesn't matter to me what desperate people say,' Conway continued. 'What I care about is defending the tens of millions of strong intelligent women who are going to vote for Donald Trump next Tuesday and already have.'Whether it is Joe Biden calling us garbage or extremists, Hillary with deplorable, irredeemable, and now Mark Cuban questioning how women around Donald Trump would not be strong or intelligent.'They are losing this election based on their elitism and the direct insults to the American people.'Steele's response was among the most damning, as the sportscaster tore into the man she said she once 'respected.''How about Tulsi Gabbard? Let me ask you about Tulsi, your friend Tulsi, right?' she said. 'At the end of the day, if she had not left the Democratic Party, I bet that you would think that she's strong and intelligent. But because she crossed the line, she's not?''More importantly, personally, we know each other,' she went on, striking a more personal note.She added: 'How about your own daughters? What if some day they decide to think differently thank you with their politics? Are they not strong and unintelligent? What is that? You talk about not being divisive and look at what you're doing. Shocking, because I thought I knew who you were. And this is just stupid.' Sportscaster Sage Steele slammed Cuban for his 'disrespectful' comments towards women. 'How about your own daughters? What if some day they decide to think differently thank you with their politics? Are they not strong and unintelligent?' she questioned It's no secret that Cuban is supporting Vice President Kamala Harris and is an active surrogate for her on the campaign trail. Pictured: Cuban speaks at a Harris rally in La Crosse, Wisconsin on October 17, 2024The renowned investor and TV personality has two daughters – Alexis, 21, and Alyssa, 17. He also has a son, Jake. All three he shares with wife Tiffany Stewart.Some women posted images of themselves with the former president in protest of Cuban's remarks on Thursday. This included Trump 2024 senior advisor Susie Wiles.'I'm told [Mark Cuban] needs help identifying the strong and intelligent women surrounding Pres. Trump. Well, here we are!' Wiles wrote on X. 'I've been proud to lead this campaign.'She also cited other leaders within the Republican Party that support Trump, including his own daughter-in-law Lara Trump who serves as the co-chair of the Republican National Committee.PoliticsJoe BidenDonald TrumpThe View

What’s at Stake in the 2024 Election - The New York Times
Skip to contentSkip to site indexPoliticsToday’s Paper
What’s at Stake in the 2024 Election A 14-day series highlighting our best coverage of the most important issues in this election. Limits of Power Maggie Haberman Senior Political Correspondent We’ve spent two years examining the implications of a second Donald Trump presidency. He wants to radically reshape the federal government and consolidate executive power. He tried to do much of this in his first term but was largely stymied. Now, he’s intent on hiring people less likely to say no. Read the story Donald Trump’s Plan for a Radical Reshaping of American Government
Pace of Change
Erica L. Green White House Correspondent Kamala Harris is not offering sweeping change, even as voters express dissatisfaction about the direction of the country. She’s an institutionalist who wants to preserve democratic ideals, and an incrementalist who believes progress takes time. That means her pragmatic approach could be frustrating to some supporters. Read the story A Harris Win Would Be Historic, but Her Changes Would Come ‘Step-by-Step’ Immigration
Jonathan Swan Political Correspondent Donald Trump’s first-term crackdown on immigration looks mild compared with his new plan. He wants to mobilize law enforcement and the military for what he’s dubbed the largest deportation operation in U.S. history: He’d round up millions of undocumented people and hold them in camps to await expulsion. Read the story Sweeping Raids and Mass Deportations: Inside Trump’s Immigration Plans Rule of Law Emily Bazelon New York Times Magazine Donald Trump says he would use the power of the presidency to order F.B.I. investigations and criminal prosecutions of his political foes. He was largely thwarted in this in his first term. But the Supreme Court has made it easier for him to succeed if he gets a second chance. Read the story Why Legal Experts Are Worried About a Second Trump Presidency Abortion Rights Kate Zernike Domestic Correspondent Donald Trump has boasted that he was able to kill Roe v. Wade, allowing states to ban abortion. He has said he would not sign a national ban if Congress passed one. But his allies in the anti-abortion movement have plans that would let him effectively impose such a ban without Congressional action. Read the story How a Trump Win Could Further Transform Abortion Law Kamala Harris’s Rise Astead Herndon Host of “The Run-Up” Harris’s ascent reflects a changing Democratic Party, one that has reorganized in the Trump era around reproductive rights, racial representation and protecting democracy. She’s kept a distance from the left wing, and united Democrats in a crisis — seeking to recreate the anti-Trump coalition that won victories in 2020 and 2022. Listen to the story The Daily: The Story of Kamala Harris Taxation Andrew Duehren Tax Policy Reporter Donald Trump wants to cut taxes in novel and potentially very expensive ways if he returns to the White House. He would instead impose broad tariffs on imports to fund the government. Taken together, his plans could remake the nation’s tax system, placing a greater burden on low-income Americans.
Read the story Trump Promises New Tax Cuts. Other Republicans Are Wary. Deploying Troops on U.S. Soil Charlie Savage Domestic Correspondent Donald Trump says he’d deploy the U.S. military on domestic soil, including to suppress protests he deems riots, patrol Democratic-run cities he deems crime dens and hunt for undocumented immigrants. The strongman tactics would carry profound implications for individual rights and constraints on federal power. Read the story How Trump Would Use Soldiers Against Riots, Crime and Migrants Climate Lisa Friedman Climate Policy Reporter During his presidency, Donald Trump dissolved more than 100 environmental regulations. If elected again, he would kill any federal effort to study and fight climate change, encourage oil and gas companies to “Drill, Baby, Drill” and restrict the government agency that protects air and water. Read the story A Pivotal Choice: Trump vs. Harris on Climate Change Imagining a Harris Presidency
Robert Draper Domestic Correspondent Kamala Harris is shattering precedents, but it is easier to see her as president in light of her story as a daughter of motivated immigrants and as a longtime prosecutor. She favors facts over ideology. Her guardedness, as an often prejudged woman of color, makes her aware of inequities in policy. Read the story Harris’s Run Comes After a Series of Career Risks Tariffs and Trade Ana Swanson Domestic Correspondent Donald Trump has proposed sweeping tariffs on imports that would raise trade barriers to a level unseen in generations. Those tariffs would protect some U.S. factories but raise costs for American households. They would also probably incite trade wars and shake the alliances the U.S. has worked to construct since World War II. Read the story Trump’s Tariffs Would Rock Global Businesses and Shake Alliances America’s Place in the World David E. Sanger White House and National Security Correspondent Donald Trump claimed his presidency marked an “America First” approach to the world. But to friends, foes and aides, it was chaotic: He tweeted out policy before it could be analyzed, and allies were often punished more harshly than adversaries. And in his current campaign, he has reversed positions he took as president. Read the story Trump’s ‘America First’ Foreign Policy Was a Breakdown in American Policymaking. Trump’s Criminal Trials Alan Feuer Criminal Justice Reporter Donald Trump has a uniquely personal stake in the outcome of this election. If he wins, he may be able to wriggle out of many, if not all, of his four criminal cases. If he loses, he could end up in jail and lose his liberty, too. Read the story With Criminal Cases Looming, Trump Has a Personal Stake in the Election Still More Scandals Peter Baker Chief White House Correspondent Donald Trump has been enveloped in more scandals than any other president. A new term could bring more allegations and retribution. But now he’d have immunity granted by the Supreme Court, a firmer grip on the Justice Department and little fear of impeachment after two failed efforts to remove him. Read the story For Trump, a Lifetime of Scandals Heads Toward a Moment of Judgment

Copy may not be in its final form.AMY GOODMAN: This is Democracy Now!, democracynow.org, The War and Peace Report. I’m Amy Goodman, with Nermeen Shaikh.
NERMEEN SHAIKH: We turn now to the race for the White House. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump continues to escalate his rhetoric on the campaign trail ahead of Election Day.
DONALD TRUMP: And my people told me about four weeks ago — I was saying, “No, I want to protect the people. I want to protect the women of our country. I want to protect the women.” “Sir, please don’t say that.” “Why?” They said, “We think it’s — we think it’s very inappropriate for you to say.” I said, “Why? I’m president. I want to protect the women of our country.” They said — they said, “Sir, I just think it’s inappropriate for you to say.” I pay these guys a lot of money. Can you believe it? I said, “Well, I’m going to do it, whether the women like it or not.” I’ve got to protect them. I’m going to protect them from migrants coming in. I’m going to protect them from foreign countries that want to hit us with missiles and lots of other things.
AMY GOODMAN: That was Donald Trump speaking in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris shared Trump’s comments on X and wrote, quote, “Donald Trump thinks he should get to make decisions about what you do with your body. Whether you like it or not.” Harris also spoke about Trump’s record as president at a campaign rally in Madison, Wisconsin.
VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS: He hand-selected three members of the United States Supreme Court with the intention — with the intention that they would undo the protections of Roe v. Wade. They did as he intended. And now in America, one in three women lives in a state with a Trump abortion ban, many with no exceptions even for rape and incest, which is immoral. Immoral. And look, Donald Trump is not done. He would ban abortion nationwide.
NERMEEN SHAIKH: Constitutional amendments to expand or protect abortion access are on the ballot in 10 states, including the battleground states of Arizona, Nevada and Florida. This week, a group of 82 U.S. Nobel Prize winners signed an open letter endorsing Harris, arguing a Trump presidency would, quote, “jeopardize any advancements in our standards of living, slow the progress of science and technology and impede our responses to climate change.” Also this week, more than a thousand religious leaders endorsed Harris.
AMY GOODMAN: We’re joined now by one of those religious leaders. In Raleigh, North Carolina, Bishop William Barber is the national co-chair of the Poor People’s Campaign, president and senior lecturer at Repairers of the Breach, founding director of the Center for Public Theology and Public Policy at Yale Divinity School.
Welcome back to Democracy Now! Thank you so much, Bishop Barber, for joining us. I know that your mom’s health is challenged right now, so thank you again.
BISHOP WILLIAM BARBER II: Thank you.
AMY GOODMAN: I’m wondering if you can start off by talking about your decision in the last few days to endorse Vice President Harris as president of the United States, and talk about the reasons for it, what you think she’s addressed and what you think she hasn’t addressed and needs to.
BISHOP WILLIAM BARBER II: Well, you know, Amy, I’m an — first of all, thank you for having me on, and thank you for your prayers.
I’m an independent. And I’m endorsing in my personal private capacity the law allows, not with any of the organizations that were mentioned. Those were just for defining purposes.
But as a moral leader and a biblicist, the Scriptures are very clear, when there are moments you have to be focused and you cannot in any way be misunderstood. When I look at, for instance, in the Bible, in the Book of Proverbs, Hebrew Bible, Book of Proverbs, verse, chapter 6, and you look at what it says, six things that God hates, even seven. And you read those seven things, and you see a candidate committing them almost every day, that include a lying tongue, a proud look, running to mischief and sowing division among the people. When you go to the Gospels of Jesus, Jesus was clear about nations. He said that every nation will be judged by how we treat the least of these — the poor, the hungry, the sick, the imprisoned and, interestingly, the immigrants. The immigrants. And when you see a campaign that’s not violating that sometimes, but all the time, you have to make a clear moral stand. I’ve been out here for a long time. But when you see a fascist-leaning, lying, constitutional-breaking, rule of law-denying, misogynist, racist, mean spirit, women health-taking and health-stealing, union-busting candidacy, there can be no middle ground, not in this moment. And that’s why I’ve decided and that many other moral leaders, Jews, Muslims and Christians, have decided, as well.
When we look at the campaign, actually, we see Harris trying to unify. No person, even myself — we all have our personal flaws. None of us are perfect. But when we see clearly Harris trying to unify, Trump making more division, when we see Harris trying to say, “I’m going to raise the minimum wage to a living wage,” and Trump saying, “The minimum wage is already too high,” promising more tax cuts to the greedy, saying that $7.25 is too high, when you see Harris saying, “I want to expand healthcare,” and you hear Trump saying he wants to undermine healthcare, and when you see Harris saying, “I want to expand voting rights and voter protections,” but you hear Trump talking about undermining voter rights, undermining the 15th Amendment, and then hear him talking about undermining the 14th Amendment, giving equal protection under the law for all persons that are in this country, those are very dangerous steps, which we have to challenge and which we have to be clear and which we have to have no middle ground.
NERMEEN SHAIKH: And, Bishop Barber, we’re speaking to you in North Carolina. Could you talk about the significance of the state in this election and the fact that in 2016, as well as in 2020, Trump won the state?
BISHOP WILLIAM BARBER II: He did. But one of the things that we’ve pointed out in all of these so-called battleground states, and even in the South, that many of these states are not red or blue as much as they are untapped and unorganized. Trump won by 74,000 votes in the last election. But there were over 1 million poor and low-wage voters that did not vote. In Michigan, he won by some — in 2016, I think, 10,000. Over a million poor and low-wage voters didn’t vote. In Pennsylvania, he won by 40,000. Over 1.3 million poor and low-wage voters didn’t work.
In 2008, Obama won North Carolina, and he only won 33 counties in North Carolina. He lost on Election Day, but he won through same-day registration and early voting, which our movement helped to fight for and put in place. And since that time, extremist Republicans have fought and tried to undermine same-day registration and early voting. We fought them in court and beat them. They were successful in getting a — what we believe is an unconstitutional voter ID on the laws, and we’re still fighting that now.
But this state, if in fact a candidate fully reaches poor and low-wage voters and also campaigns in the east, beyond Raleigh, over in Rocky Mount and Greenville and Pasquotank County and Wilmington, it is a state in which you can build a kind of coalition for more progressive candidates to win. We’ve said that clearly to the campaign. And early on, we challenged them, when we saw them going to Charlotte and Winston-Salem and Greensboro and not going to the east. We said, “You have to go out east. You have to go in what’s called the Black Belt, the Farm Belt, the place, interestingly, where many Black and white people are joined together, particularly around issues of healthcare and issues of living wages. Thirty-nine percent of the North Carolinian workforce doesn’t make a living wage of $15 an hour. So, you have to speak directly to them and let them know, if in fact you win, this is what’s going to happen in their lives.
So we believe, in fact, North Carolina is very much in this race. You’ve had a candidate for governor in the Republican arena who has really imploded and shown that the people that he was so vitriolic against, actually, he himself was doing many of the things he was claiming is wrong. But even before that, his policies were just wrong. He was running for governor. He wanted to put women in jail if they had an abortion. He was not promoting voting rights. He was supporting voter suppression. He was not supporting a living wage. He was not supporting fully funding public education. So, even before the more personal things, his policies were bad.
But we’ve got work to do. We’ve got a lot of work to do. But North Carolina is always in the mix. It’s a strange thing. North Carolina is the only state in the last, say, 30 years or so that elected a Democrat for president, Jimmy Carter and Obama. And it’s the only Southern state that has consistently elected a Democrat for governor and a Democrat for AG, even when we had the fiasco of an extreme Republican takeover in 2012 due to voter suppression.
AMY GOODMAN: Well, Bishop William Barber, we’ll see what happens in the next few days, if in fact it is decided then, both at the local, state and federal level.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Following is a list of United States presidential candidates by number of votes received. Elections have tended to have more participation in each successive election, due to the increasing population of the United States, and, in some instances, expansion of the right to vote to larger segments of society. Prior to the election of 1824, most states did not have a popular vote. In the election of 1824, only 18 of the 24 states held a popular vote, but by the election of 1828, 22 of the 24 states held a popular vote. Minor candidates are excluded if they received fewer than 100,000 votes or less than 0.1% of the vote in their election year.

^ a b c d The election of 1860 was a complex realigning election in which the breakdown of the previous two-party alignment culminated in four parties each competing for influence in different parts of the country. The result of the election, with the victory of an ardent opponent of slavery, spurred the secession of eleven states and brought about the American Civil War.
^ a b c d This is not the final result; a very small percentage of votes are still being counted.
^ a b No candidate won the Electoral College; the election was decided by Congress, which chose John Quincy Adams.

Lifetime electoral votes[edit]
The following list indicates lifetime electoral votes received across multiple elections in which the candidate was the nominee of a political party or was otherwise on a presidential ballot. Note that the counting for Electoral College votes for this purpose is complicated by the fact that in the earliest elections, the Electoral College did not distinguish between votes for president and vice-president, with the candidate receiving the second-highest number of such votes becoming the vice-president. As with the popular vote, the total number of Electoral College votes available has increased over time, as additional states have been admitted to the union. For a complete list of electoral votes received in individual elections, see the list of people who received an electoral vote in the United States Electoral College.

Joe Raedle/Getty ImagesDylan Scott is a senior correspondent and editor for Vox’s Future Perfect, covering global health. He has reported on health policy for more than 10 years, writing for Governing magazine, Talking Points Memo, and STAT before joining Vox in 2017.If you’re confused, it’s not an accident.Republicans are trying to have it both ways on health care during the 2024 campaign. They boast that they want to deregulate insurance and massively cut government spending, yet they also claim that they would never do anything to endanger people’s coverage.That two-step keeps getting them into trouble. House Speaker Mike Johnson was recently caught on a tape promising to take “a blow torch to the regulatory state.” Donald Trump, Johnson said, would want to “go big” in his second term because he can’t run for a third one, the speaker told a group of Republican voters in Pennsylvania. And health care, Johnson said, would be “a big part” of the GOP’s agenda.One attendee directly asked Johnson: No Obamacare? “No Obamacare,” Johnson said.“The ACA is so deeply ingrained, we need massive reform to make this work. We’ve got a lot of ideas,” the House speaker added. He wasn’t more specific than that.Kamala Harris’s campaign quickly flagged Johnson’s comments, and Republicans backtracked. The Donald Trump campaign said that was “not President Trump’s policy position” and Trump tried to distance himself further in a social media post.Johnson insisted he had not actually promised to repeal Obamacare by emphasizing his comment that the 2010 law was “ingrained” while ignoring his subsequent promise of “massive reform.” Trump himself has alluded to having only “concepts of a plan” for American health care. That has left other Republicans to fill in the gaps and the party’s specific proposals remain poorly defined. But if there are a lot of details still to be filled in, the theme of the GOP’s health care agenda is clear: cuts. Cutting regulations. Cutting spending.Johnson’s comments were not an isolated incident. Just last month, Trump’s vice presidential nominee, JD Vance, hinted at “a deregulatory agenda so that people can pick a health care plan that fits them.” If you actually parse his words about health insurance risk pools, it would be a return to a world where people could be charged more for coverage if they have preexisting medical conditions, the world before Obamacare.It was the same promise Johnson was making. That is the reality: Should they win control of the White House and Congress this election, Republicans will attempt to cut people’s health care.Republicans still want to make big health care cutsWhen Obamacare repeal died in 2017, it might have been tempting to think that a chapter had come to a close. Instead, the fight over the future of US health care had entered a new era.Make no mistake: Republican leaders still want to slash health care spending and unwind health insurance regulations. And Trump, whatever he might say, has proven before to be malleable to conventional conservative health policy. His people continue to put health care in the crosshairs, sometimes in ways that may not be as obvious. Elon Musk, who sometimes appears to be campaigning to be shadow president of the United States, has pledged to cut $2 trillion from the federal government’s $6.8 trillion budget. He has acknowledged that the cuts would result in “temporary” hardship, but insisted they would be to the long-term benefit of the country.About $1 in every $5 in the federal budget goes to health care. Barring a severe cut to the US military (unlikely), such a plan would require massive cuts to the health care programs. Trump has often said he will protect Medicare, which covers seniors, but he has in the past endorsed enormous cuts to Medicaid, the program for low-income people that insures 73 million Americans, as part of the 2017 ACA repeal-and-replace bills. The main Republican bill to repeal and replace the ACA that nearly passed in 2017 was in fact as much about making massive Medicaid cuts by capping the program’s funding as it was about loosening health insurance regulations or repealing the individual mandate.Republicans could try to pass another Obamacare repeal bill with a comprehensive Medicaid overhaul. Or they could chip away at health care in incremental ways, as we saw during the first Trump term after the Obamacare repeal bill failed. Trump cut funding for enrollment outreach for the ACA markets while rolling back rules for noncomprehensive plans, which resulted in catastrophic results for some patients who didn’t know what they were signing up for. Over Trump’s four years in office, the number of people covered by the ACA fell by more than 1 million, to 11.4 million. Since Joe Biden became president, and Democrats expanded the law’s insurance subsidies as part of the Inflation Reduction Act, the number of people covered by marketplace plans has nearly doubled to 21.4 million.If Trump takes office again, a repeat of that previous sabotage seems likely even if a bigger repeal effort fails to materialize. Republicans could cut outreach funding again. They could make subtler tweaks to the health insurance rules, such as increasing the premiums that older people can be charged compared to younger people or giving insurers more leniency in restricting benefits, networks, and other aspects of a person’s health coverage. They could make more targeted cuts to Medicaid or permit states to set up Medicaid work requirements again, as they did in the first Trump term only to be obstructed by the courts.Why Republicans can’t be honest about their health care planThe failure of Obamacare repeal is the reason Republicans keep insisting that their health care agenda is not what it plainly is whenever they accidentally reveal their intentions too clearly.It’s easy to forget now, but Obamacare was a winning issue for Republicans at first. They stormed to historic congressional wins in the 2010 midterms by rallying voters against the new health care law. They then took dozens of votes to repeal all or parts of it while Barack Obama still held the veto pen. For most of its first decade, the ACA was deeply unpopular.Then Trump won the presidency and the Republicans had to deliver on their promises to repeal and replace the law. GOP leaders did get the new president on board with a pretty conservative plan: It would have left the skeleton of the ACA, but pared back its rules and financial aid, while making those huge cuts to Medicaid.Then something changed. As the repeal plan started to move through Congress, and projections of millions of Americans losing health insurance dominated news coverage, the politics of health care flipped. The law had quietly grown to cover a sizable chunk of people — more than 25 million — and, as importantly, it had started to change Americans’ minds about the government’s role in providing health care. “Preexisting conditions” became a loaded term, and when people understood that the GOP wanted to unwind the ACA’s health insurance rules, they loudly objected. Medicaid also flexed a political salience not seen before, with disability advocates in particular fearful of what cuts to that program would mean for them and drawing widespread coverage for their protests. Senate Republicans from states that expanded Medicaid through the health care law were ultimately responsible for stopping the repeal effort.By the 2018 midterms, Democrats were hammering Republicans over health care and scoring surprising electoral wins. Today, the ACA is as popular as it’s ever been and US voters say they trust Democrats more on health care than the GOP.This series of events has left Republicans in a bind. The relative success of the ACA has expanded the welfare state and influenced Americans’ perceptions of the role of government in ways that are antithetical to conservative economic thinking. They want to claw back some of those progressive wins. But they also have to be mindful of the changed politics of health care. Once in a while, particularly in “safe” conservative spaces, they slip up, admit they want to unwind the ACA, and then have to backtrack. Mike Johnson’s only mistake was being candid.Update, October 31, 3:45 pm ET: This story was originally published earlier on October 31 and has been updated to include Trump’s social media post about the ACA.See More: 2024 ElectionsDonald TrumpHealthHealth CareKamala HarrisPolicyPoliticsPublic HealthMost PopularThe Trump administration told a judge Elon Musk does not head DOGE.

Even when it’s not Halloween, a certain breed of religious traditionalist longs for the days when men donned capes and cloaks decorated with symbolic sashes and ribbons, got knighted, laid holy swords in caskets lined with red velvet, and pledged oaths to monarchs and popes. Conservative lobbyist and court-packer Leonard Leo belongs to the Sovereign Military Order of the Knights of Malta, a Catholic lay order that dates to the Crusades. The Opus Dei organization, best known for its super-kinky corporal-mortification rules, sent a priest wearing a spiked garter under his cassock to convert a swath of Republicans in Washington — a project that has proved quite successful.
It turns out the last time Donald Trump was president, Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito, author of the Dobbs decision setting women’s health care back a few centuries, added a knighthood to his own résumé, pledging an oath to the Sacred Military Constantinian Order of Saint George. The knighthood, bestowed in 2017, wasn’t widely reported at the time, but the order’s website was updated in July with Alito’s investiture on the front page.
Alito has long had vaguely medieval-cosplay tendencies. The New York Times reported recently on how, last month, he listed Princess Gloria von Thurn und Taxis in his delayed financial disclosure for giving him concert tickets worth $900. (According to the Times, the princess wants to get to know Justice Thomas better, too.) Princess Gloria was a wild child, dubbed “Princess TNT” by Vanity Fair back in her hard-partying days with Mick Jagger. In her 60s now, she has morphed to the right and become a Catholic crusader. When she’s not appearing at transatlantic anti-abortion events and other venues frequented by hard-right crusaders and their aristocratic admirers, she lives in a 500-room 12th-century palace that her pal Steve Bannon reportedly wanted to use for his gladiator school.
The Constantinian Order was founded in the 16th century but claims its origins to the conversion of the Roman emperor Constantine and the beginning of the Christianization of pagan Rome. It is recognized by the Vatican, but the knighthoods are administered privately by the Bourbon–Two Sicilies family, descendants of the kings who ruled Southern Italy in the 18th and 19th centuries. (Princess TNT’s son, Albert, is a knight in another branch of the order.)
Alito, who referenced a 17th-century witch-hunter’s legal reasoning in his Dobbs decision, accepted the Knight Grand Cross of Merit, the highest rank available to non-nobles in the order, at a mass in St. Matthews Cathedral in Washington, D.C., in 2017. He pledged the requisite oath: “We declare and promise to Almighty God, to Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord, with the assistance of the Holy Spirit, the maternal protection of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and the powerful intercession of Saint George the Martyr, to observe as true soldiers of Christ everything that is asked and recommended of us.” He then added a Savoy-blue wool cape (made by the pope’s tailor and retailing for a starting price of 940 euros) and a large blingy jeweled cross insignia (retail 322 euros) to his wardrobe of black vestments.
The order’s grand prefect, Her Royal Highness Princess Béatrice of Bourbon–Two Sicilies, attended the ceremony. Béatrice is divorced from a Napoléon, and their son happens to be pretender to the imperial throne of France.
Members of the Constantinian Order’s American delegation were also at the investiture. They are Trumpy. The U.S. delegate is John Viola, then-president of the National Italian American Foundation. Viola is the son of billionaire Vincent (“Vinnie”) Viola, a Constantinian knight and the owner of the 2024 Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers. The elder Viola was Trump’s initial nominee for secretary of the Army, but he withdrew rather than submit to Pentagon rules about his business practices (he also was discovered to have punched a concessions worker in the face at a horse auction).
Other American members of the order include Michael La Civita, vice-president of the Catholic Media Association and brother of Trump’s campaign manager Chris LaCivita, and Anita McBride, Laura Bush’s former chief of staff, who was invested as a dame of the Constantinian Order at the same ceremony where Alito got his cape.
Prince Carlo of Bourbon–Two Sicilies, grand master of the Constantinian Order, is a founding patron of the Dignitatis Humanae Institute, a Vatican-connected think tank that Bannon tried to turn into an “Academy for the Judeo-Christian West” in a former Carthusian monastery outside Rome.
Bourbon–Two Sicilies followers in Southern Italy have formed a “neo-Bourbon” movement, advocating for the family to regain power over its ancestral kingdom. These modern-day monarchists advocate the return of Naples and Sicily to the Kingdom of Two Sicilies, the monarchy overthrown when Italy was unified in the 1800s.
On this side of the Atlantic, American neo-Bourbonists advocate for this cause on a badly edited blog, Il Regno (“the kingdom”). “For those of us who are traditionally minded, the Bourbons of Naples are anything but a footnote in history, they are a symbol of authority, sovereignty and justice,” one of them wrote on Il Regno in 2019. “They represent a possible future in the face of the present crises that threatens [sic] the remnants of our moribund civilization. A return to traditional religious and aristocratic principles, embodied by There [sic] Sicilian Majesties, will be our foundation to confront globalism and the unholy secular worldview currently plaguing our society with wanton materialism and widespread apathy.”
The Bourbon–Two Sicilies are not exactly leaders in the fight against wanton materialism. They hobnob with celebrities and hereditary aristocrats at all the fleshpots of Europe and flash their lifestyle on Instagram posts from Monaco, Paris, Rome, and St. Tropez.
The family has also been embroiled in a variety of tabloid-attracting scandals involving cash, art, and weapons. They have been photographed with Trump and with Syria’s Bashar al-Assad. They have been defending themselves in court in the Bailiwick of Jersey, a British tax-shelter island, over moneys and art allegedly stashed offshore. Prince Carlo knighted the president of the island of Mauritius around the time the Jersey court publicly accused the family of trying to transfer the trust dispute to the Mauritius courts. Another tropical recipient of Bourbon–Two Sicilies knighthood is Roosevelt Skerrit, the longtime prime minister of Dominica, who has denied accusations of corruption involving passport selling and slush funds.
The list of Constantinian knights and dames includes cardinals and bishops, rightist politicians like Brexiteer Ann Widdecombe and Italian Alberto Lembo, and dozens of obscure European aristocrats such as Princess Philomena, Countess of Paris; Jean-Christophe, Prince Napoléon; Jean, Count of Paris (head of the House of Orléans); Princess Marie-Therese von Hohenberg, great-granddaughter of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary; and Prince Laurent of Belgium.
Prince Carlo’s wife, Camilla, president of Influencer Awards Monaco, among other philanthropic and society positions, was embroiled in a long-running inheritance feud with her family. Her father, Camillo Crociani, was president of the Italian weapons-manufacturing giant Finmeccanica but fled an arrest warrant to Mexico in the 1970s under investigation in a Lockheed bribery case. He managed to maintain control of a different weapons company, which Camilla and her mother inherited and recently sold for $200 million to the now-renamed weapons company her father once ran.
During this family feud, Camilla of Bourbon–Two Sicilies and her mother were accused of moving seven pieces from the family’s art collection to a storage facility in Miami. The artwork was shipped in November 2017 — a few weeks after Alito was knighted. A Jersey court later held them in contempt for concealing assets. While in Miami, the Bourbon–Two Sicilies family paid a visit to then-President Trump at Mar-a-Lago.
In 2020, Camilla “narrowly avoided” jail in Jersey after a court ruled she had hidden a $66 million Gauguin and fined her $2 million euros. In September, she put a Van Gogh up for auction in Hong Kong at a price that shattered previous records for western art in Asia.
Bourbon–Two Sicilies supporters are monarchists with a history of links to the American right going back to the Confederacy. Some of their supporters even fought for the South in the Civil War, finding common cause with the slavers whose way of life the North was destroying. The alliance is so strong that some neo-Bourbons fly the Confederate flag, sharing with the American South the grievance of having lost to the northern powers. One of the movement leaders wears a Confederate-flag pin on his lapel alongside the Bourbon–Two Sicilies flag.
The Constantinian Order and its knights are tied politically to this neo-Bourbon monarchist movement in Southern Italy, according to historian Enrico Dal Lago, because it is headed by the current heir to the throne of the Kingdom of Two Sicilies. “The Bourbonist movement is doing some extreme revisionism about what happened at the time of Italian unification,” Dal Lago said. “It claims Italy was unified against not just the will of the Naples kings but of the Catholic Church, and that unification robbed the pope and the southern kings.”
The Constantinian order and its religio-politics have an “enormous influence” on people of Southern Italian ancestry living in the United States, Dal Lago said. Alito’s father was from Calabria, and his grandparents were from Basilicata, two regions with a strong legacy of pro-Bourbonism. Dal Lago speculated that the familial connection “was probably an unofficial reason for him being selected” for the knighthood.
Some legal experts think the knighthood may violate the U.S. Constitution’s emoluments clause, which forbids federal officeholders from accepting foreign gifts, money, or titles without congressional approval. “A Supreme Court justice should not accept a knighthood, let alone from a far-right, monarchical, foreign religious-military order,” said Alex Aronson, executive director of Court Accountability. “The fact that Samuel Alito accepted such a knighthood, which very well might violate the Constitution’s foreign emoluments clause, is further evidence of his contempt for the American people and our Constitution.”
Justice Alito did not respond to emails or calls for comment.

The former president has refused to offer a personal apology. Advertisement
“New Mexico, look, don’t make me waste a whole damn half a day here, OK?” Trump told the crowd on Thursday.“First of all, Hispanics love Trump, they do. True. I like them. They’re smart. They’re a lot smarter than the person running for president on the Democrat side,” he said, once again taking a shot at Vice President Kamala Harris’ abilities.“So I’m here for one simple reason,” Trump said. “I like you very much, and it’s good for my credentials with the Hispanic or Latino community.”Advertisement
He continued on, saying, “You know on the East Coast, they like being called Hispanics, you know this? On the West Coast, they like being called Latinos.” Trump said he got in an argument with an adviser over which term to use in Albuquerque, saying he wanted to use Hispanic. He then took a couple of informal polls of the crowd, asking them to cheer for the term they preferred best (Hispanic) and asking them whether they have cast a ballot yet (a mix).Go Ad-Free — And Protect The Free PressThe next four years will change America forever.

Trump’s campaign issued a statement in response to the Puerto Rico controversy to say that the “island of garbage” remark “does not reflect the views of President Trump or the campaign.” Trump himself has claimed not to know the comedian, Tony Hinchcliffe, even though he was opening for the former president at “the world’s most famous arena.”But the comment sparked a tidal wave of criticism from Democrats, Republicans and celebrities with Puerto Rican heritage — some of whom took the opportunity to endorse Harris.RelatedDonald Trump2024 electionsNew Mexicolatino votersHarris Makes Closing Arguments, Trump Calls Racism-Filled Rally A 'Lovefest': Latest Updates'I Wanna Smack Him': Ex-GOP Governor Slams 1 Recent Trump CommentNew Law Makes Dueling Trump, Harris Presidential Transitions PossibleTrump’s Madison Square Garden Rally Was Even Worse Than You Think Go to HomepageLEAVE A COMMENTSuggest a correction|Submit a tipAdvertisement

Trump’s Dark Vision for America
A look at some of what the former President says he’ll do if he returns to power.

While no sensible person would take Donald Trump at his word about anything, political messaging matters because of the light it sheds on the values and vision of the messenger. In Trump’s case, the public positions staked out by his campaign and supporters constitute a catalog of freewheeling ill intent unmatched in modern American political history. Here are some examples:
Mass Deportation
Trump’s Agenda 47 platform, as posted on his website, pledges the President to “carry out the largest deportation operation in American history,” a promise he reiterated during his GOP nomination acceptance speech. This would include “DREAMers,” asylum seekers, and the millions of undocumented workers who perform jobs essential to the U.S. economy. On “Day One” of his presidency, Trump says he would sign an Executive Order ending birthright citizenship for the children of “illegals.”
Political Purges
Another Agenda 47 campaign plank states Trump’s intention to “deport pro-Hamas radicals and make our college campuses safe and patriotic again.” This is essentially a pledge to revoke the First Amendment rights of people deemed supportive of Hamas—that is, anyone who criticizes Israel’s massacre of more than 40,000 Palestinians, most of whom have been women and children.
Big Brother in the Classroom
As set forth in Agenda 47, “any school pushing critical race theory, transgender insanity, and other inappropriate racial, sexual, or political content on our children” will be immediately terminated from receiving federal funding. Who gets to decide what’s “inappropriate”? You guessed it: not you.
Big Brother Everywhere
Project 2025, the Heritage Foundation’s 920-page blueprint for the next Republican presidency, prepared with extensive input from Trump associates, calls for the deletion of all references to sexual orientation, gender identity, gender equality, gender awareness, abortion, reproductive health, reproductive rights—and a good many more terms—from “every federal rule, agency regulation, contract, grant, regulation, and piece of legislation that exists.”
MAGA-nify Higher Education
If re-elected, Agenda 47 says Trump will purge “all Marxist diversity, equity, and inclusion bureaucrats” from the nation’s colleges and universities and direct the Department of Justice to “pursue federal civil rights cases against schools that continue to engage in racial discrimination”—by which he means efforts to promote diversity. He also will “fire the radical Left accreditors that have allowed our colleges to become dominated by Marxist Maniacs and lunatics.”
Wreck the Economy
Record-low unemployment, rising wages, and inflation on the wane are what “Bidenomics” has brought about. If re-elected, Trump would take a wrecking ball to all of that. He has pledged to impose a 60 percent or higher tariff on all Chinese imports and a hike of at least 10 percent on imports from all other countries. That could raise the average household’s tax expenses by an estimated $2,600 - $3,900 per year.
Bring Back Whooping Cough, Diphtheria, Chicken Pox, Polio, and More for Our Nation’s Children
At a March campaign rally in Virginia, Trump vowed to “not give one penny” of federal funding to “any school that has a vaccine mandate.” The crowd cheered.
Reverse Efforts to Address Climate Change
Trump would bring a crashing halt to the Biden-Harris Administration initiatives to reduce carbon output, conserve energy, and mitigate the impacts of global warming. He’s also pledged to “cancel the electric vehicle mandate,” which, in fact, does not exist. If you like what’s been happening around the world lately—the extreme heat, hurricanes, floods, wildfires—Trump is your guy.
End Medication Abortion
Project 2025 urges the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to “reverse its approval of chemical abortion drugs,” namely mifepristone and misoprostol, now used in more than half of all abortions in the United States. This could be done without Congressional or court approval by enforcing an 1873 federal law that prohibits the mailing and interstate transport of abortion drugs. Trump has said he is open to such changes.
End All Reproductive Choice Worldwide
Project 2025 calls for a ban on abortion and contraception, emergency or otherwise. It would curtail fertility-related health care like in vitro fertilization (which Trump says he does not support, if you can believe that). And it would remove references to “abortion,” “reproductive health,” and “sexual and reproductive rights” from all U.S. Agency for International Development publications and policies.
Make LGBTQ+ People Disappear
Sound like an overstatement? It really isn’t. Trump’s Agenda 47 says he’ll “ask Congress to pass a bill establishing that the only genders recognized by the United States government are male and female—and they are determined at birth.” People who do not fit into these two gender categories would literally cease to exist, as far as the government is concerned.
Outlaw Gender-Affirming Health Care
Per Agenda 47, Trump will also seek federal legislation “prohibiting child sexual mutilation”—that is, chemical or surgical gender-affirming health care performed with parental approval. Hospitals and health care providers who offer such care would be barred from receiving Medicaid and Medicare payments. Meanwhile, “any teacher or school official [who] suggests to a child that they could be trapped in the wrong body . . . will be faced with severe consequences.”
Do Nothing About Gun Violence—Except Make It Worse
Not even getting shot by a sniper with an AR-15-style rifle has made Trump rethink his refusal to combat the nation’s epidemic of gun violence. He proudly informed a National Rifle Association gathering in February that, despite “great pressure” on him to act during his four years in office, “We did nothing.” If re-elected, Trump has pledged to roll back Biden’s modest gun control measures, including a policy that revokes federal licenses from firearms dealers who violate gun laws.
Order Mass Executions
Project 2025 urges the next administration to “do everything possible to obtain finality” for prisoners on federal death row, as well as expand the use of the death penalty “involving violence and sexual abuse of children.” Trump, in his Agenda 47, says he’ll “ensure that anyone caught trafficking children across our border receives the death penalty immediately.” He’s also said he’ll impose the death penalty on “everyone who sells drugs.”
Eliminate the Department of Education—and Teachers Unions
Trump’s Agenda 47 would eliminate this vital federal agency, which does everything from setting standards for K-12 schools to administering Pell Grants to college students in financial need. Project 2025, meanwhile, seeks to revoke the National Education Association’s Congressional charter, which allows for teachers unions, calling it a “demonstrably radical special interest group that overwhelmingly supports left-of-center policies and policymakers.”
Create a Government of Hardcore Trump Loyalists
Trump has vowed to reinstate the Executive Order he issued shortly before losing the 2020 election to strip civil service protections from 40,000 federal employees to make way for MAGA militants. These are now being recruited by the Heritage Foundation’s Presidential Administration Academy, so they can “start implementing the President’s agenda on Day One.”
End Representative Democracy
While addressing a group of religious conservatives in late July, Trump exclaimed: “Christians, get out and vote! Just this time. You won’t have to do it anymore. Four more years, you know what? It’ll be fixed. It’ll be fine. You won’t have to vote anymore, my beautiful Christians . . . . In four years, you don’t have to vote again. We’ll have it fixed so good, you’re not gonna have to vote.”
So we all better vote this fall, while we still have the opportunity.
