Democrats understood from the moment Harris took over the ticket that she was the one thing standing between us and a second Trump presidency. Quibbles about this or that vanished.

Harris only needs thousands of votes in a handful of key states. The bad news is that there are no big stages ahead to easily reach those voters if Trump refuses to debate her.

What Tim Walz and JD Vance say and how they conduct themselves in Tuesday evening's debate could help propel the ticket they're on—or pose a speed bump in the presidential race.

Donald Trump's allies keep saying they want him to stay on message (immigration, inflation, economy) yet the craziness continues, and a significant share of the electorate is laughing all the way to the ballot box.

Barbara Bush would have known what to do. It’s time her son did his duty.

What would Barbara Bush do? If she were still with us, the former First Lady would be jumping up and down to urge her son, George W.

The vile misogyny of Donald Trump and JD Vance was on grotesque public display on the final day of the election campaign. Make them pay in the voting booth.

We saw it coming. America's fascination with celebrity and wealth kept Donald Trump in the public eye even after he lost his bid for reelection.

America has voted for a lunatic, boundary-breaking authoritarian–nastier, more ruthless and better organized than before.

It‘s Musk who’s hanging at Mar-a-Lago as Trump makes important calls to leaders and plots his cabinet picks. But don’t count out Vance creating his own power base.
