Vice President Kamala Harris has run a cowardly campaign focused on deceiving and misleading voters. She should not be rewarded for it with the presidency. Harris’s campaign has been cowardly from the moment it was launched late in the election cycle. Harris’s campaign began earnestly on July 21, when President Joe Biden announced he was […]

Win or lose on Tuesday, Sen. J.D. Vance’s (R-OH) willingness to engage in contentious in-depth policy discussions, and the skill with which he has explained the conservative position, has been a public service.

The 2024 presidential race is focusing on the working-class voters, but the government's Current Population Survey data shows that the definition of this group is complex and often contradictory, and that the economic status and policy preferences of the working class often elude our intuition.

Former President Obama once famously said when Rep. James E. Clyburn (D-S.C.) speaks, the entire Congress listens. The South Carolina Democrat is one of the most powerful voices in Congress, and in many ways, he is credited for Vice President Harris’s ascension.
