Last month I wrote about an ongoing debate over what had been dubbed the “vibecession.” The basic idea is that as inflation came down to more manageable levels people’s feelings about the economy (as measured in polls and consumer confidence indicators) didn’t seem to be improving much. It was as if consumer sentiment had become […]
Jonathan Chait has a lengthy piece at New York magazine arguing that it’s not the right that is about to reelect Donald Trump so much as it is the progressive left. Of course he doesn’t mean that leftists are suddenly going to switch parties and pull the lever for Trump. What he does mean is […]
You may not have realized it with all the other craziness swirling around Donald Trump’s name being on 2024 primary ballots in some states but there was an effort to keep his name off the ballot in Texas and many other states. The kicker is that the man behind the effort is a Republican. The […]
Does South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem want to be Donald Trump’s vice president if he is the Republican nominee and beats Joe Biden in November? It sure sounds like she’s making a pitch for the job. Governor Noem is in Iowa today campaigning for Donald Trump. She describes the former president as “the only person […]
This NBC News article is not an opinion piece so far as I can tell. Titled “5 twists that could upend Democrats’ best-laid plans for the 2024 election,” it’s intended to be a combination of prognostication and analysis, but the framing of the piece is clearly one-sided.

Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows appeared quite proud of her decision Thursday to remove former President Donald Trump from the 2024 ballot.

In October, President Joe Biden’s re-election campaign released an ad targeting working-class families in his home state of Pennsylvania. Titled “Never Left,” the nostalgic ad featuring childhood photos of a young Biden aired in the Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Scranton markets as part of a $25 million campaign, according to the Pennsylvania Capital-Star. “He grew up […]
On Thursday, Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows unilaterally declared Trump guilty of insurrection, and thereby ineligible to appear on the ballot in her state. Who is this woman who took it upon herself to be the judge, jury, and executioner? How is it possible that we’ve become a […]
Maine’s Democratic secretary of state on Thursday removed former President Donald Trump from the state’s presidential primary ballot. The decision by Shenna Bellows follows a ruling by the Colorado Supreme Court that booted Trump from the ballot there under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. That decision has been stayed until the U.S. Supreme Court […]
Former President Donald Trump will appear on the GOP primary ballot in Colorado, state officials announced on Thursday. The stunning reversal nullifies a state Supreme Court ruling from two weeks ago wherein justices voted 4-3 to keep the former president off the ballot over false claims he is an insurrectionist. The Colorado court’s decision was […]
