President Trump's suggestion that we need to pivot from battling with COVID-19 to resurrecting the economy has been met with criticisms from Democrats. "We've done a pretty good job flattening the curve," Trump said. "We met all the states' requests for equipment to ensure that our hospitals wouldn't be overwhelmed. We even built some new hospitals in the New York City hot spot. We're well on our way to winning on this front. Now, I think we need to get to work on rescuing the people flattened by the temporary economic shutdown. People who have been blocked from earning an...

Washington (CNN) Vice President Mike Pence said he would be "happy" to see President Donald Trump's first national security adviser Michael Flynn back in the administration years after Trump fired him for lying about his contacts with Russia. **SNIP** During a pre-taped interview with Axios published Sunday, Pence was asked about bringing Flynn back into the Trump administration. The President said in April that he would consider bringing back Flynn. "I think Gen. Michael Flynn is an American patriot, he served this country with great distinction," Pence said in an excerpt of the interview. "And for my part, I'd be...

Former Vice President Joe Biden will not be the Democratic nominee in 2020, despite recent endorsements from Hillary Clinton, President Obama, Bernie Sanders, and other Democrats. The closer we get to the convention, the less unified Democrats will be regarding the prospect of Biden running against, or even debating, President Trump. Biden already loses to President Trump in Florida, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and other swing states according to the latest CNBC poll. Furthermore, Biden’s gaffes and continual lapses in memory, in addition to possible cognitive issues already have Democrats clamoring for an alternative. Biden’s success in the Democratic primary has more...

A "good friend" of former FBI Director James Comey said the bureau's current chief "should be careful" about criticizing its old leadership. Benjamin Wittes, who is the editor-in-chief of Lawfare, reacted late Tuesday to an FBI statement defending Director Christopher Wray as he faces pressure from Republicans to answer for what they view as a lack of transparency about the Russia investigation. "Chris Wray should be careful before issuing statements like this about 'prior leadership' to check the dates on the FISA applications that the IG examined in his most recent interim report," Wittes tweeted. Wittes was referring to recent...

President Trump’s reelection campaign recently took aim at Hillary Clinton and her recent endorsement of Joe Biden’s White House bid. While taking to Twitter Tuesday, the Trump campaign posted a 2015 video of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton sending a message to sexual assault survivors. This came as more developments have continued to unfold in recent days regarding Reade’s sexual assault allegations while he was serving in the U.S. Senate. Clinton joined Biden for a virtual Town Hall event on Tuesday, but neither of the Democrat leaders spoke about Reade’s claims.

An anti-Trump Democratic-aligned political action committee advised by retired Army Gen. Stanley McChrystal is planning to deploy an information warfare tool that received initial funding from DARPA, the Pentagon’s secretive research arm -- transforming technology originally envisioned as a way to fight ISIS propaganda into a campaign platform to benefit Joe Biden. The Washington Post first reported that the initiative, called Defeat Disinfo, will utilize "artificial intelligence and network analysis to map discussion of the president’s claims on social media," and then attempt to "intervene" by "identifying the most popular counter-narratives and boosting them through a network of more than...

Who might be in consideration to become the new nominee — and who would be selected as the vice presidential running mate? Several likely combinations come to mind, starting in many minds with New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, but one particular, truly out-of-the-box combination stops the discussion in its tracks: Hillary Clinton as the nominee and Barack Obama as her running mate.Now, before everyone rolls their eyes, let that sink in for a moment and do some fairly simple calculations about voters and swing states in your heads. No matter how you add it, subtract it or divide it, that math would spell trouble for...

Hillary Clinton recently shared a picture of herself wearing a face mask on Twitter. The black mask featured the word “vote” on it, but that was easily blacked out. Then other Twitter users got busy with Photoshop.

Joe Biden has finally announced his running mate: Hillary Clinton. He made the selection while several laser dots were carefully trained on his vital organs.

The Democrats are desperate. Cool ole' Uncle Joe who seemed to be the one "up for the task" is turning into a real Creepy Uncle nobody wants to sit next to at a family gathering. Even his boss, you know the name, endorsed him only when Biden remained the last man standing. Joe has lots of well-known issues that may hinder his chances for the Oval Office — starting with his obvious mental decline to the corruption allegations against the Biden family that may have made billions of dollars while Biden served as the vice president. The newest accusations against...

President Trump's reelection campaign isn't shying away from hitting Joe Biden over his handling of allegations that he sexually assaulted and harassed a former Senate aide in 1993. The incumbent's campaign team, in particular, seized on accusations of hypocrisy over how the presumptive 2020 Democratic presidential nominee and other prominent members of the party supported the women who made sexual misconduct claims against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh and their reaction to Biden's accuser, Tara Reade. “The double standard exhibited by Biden, prominent liberal women’s groups, and Democrat elected officials — some of whom want to be Biden’s running mate...

Hillary Clinton continues to waver in the wings should Joe Biden fall. Don’t look now, but Joe is failing. Not only has his campaign been rocked by sexual assault allegations from one-time staffer Tara Reade, but the public is beginning to give up on the former vice president. A new Emerson College poll showed 57 percent of likely voters think President Trump will win reelection in November. Remember, Establishment Democrats put forward Uncle Joe because he was the “safe” candidate, bound to defeat Trump. Oops. That’s not the only problem that crops up in the Emerson Poll. It also shows...

Hillary Clinton’s endorsement Tuesday of former Vice President Joe Biden in the November presidential election is just the latest sign of Democratic unity that will be needed to send President Trump into political retirement. Biden has also picked up the endorsements of many other prominent Democrats, including candidates who ran against him for the presidential nomination this year, former President Barack Obama, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California, and even Rep Alexandria Ocasio- Cortez of New York – one of the most progressive members of Congress. Democratic unity this year is quite a contrast with the disunity of 2016. Clinton...

Hillary Clinton’s endorsement of Joe Biden’s presidential campaign on Tuesday afternoon was not entirely well received. As Fox News reported, Tara Reade had harsh words for the two-time presidential hopeful and self-proclaimed feminist champion. Reade accuses Biden of sexually assaulting her while she worked as a staffer in his Senate office, and her case continues to build with evidentiary support and corroboration from others. "I voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016. I voted for her in the primary. I'm a lifelong Democrat. But yet, what I see now is someone enabling a sexual predator and it was my former boss,...

ormer Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Tuesday that the coronavirus pandemic “would be a terrible crisis to waste” by not creating “universal health care.” Clinton, the Democratic Party nominee in the 2016 presidential election, was speaking to former Vice President Joe Biden in a virtual women’s “town hall” meeting, during which she endorsed him for president. Biden nodded in agreement as Clinton spoke about exploiting the coronavirus pandemic to bring about the left’s dream of “universal health care”: This is a high-stakes time, because of the pandemic. But this is also a really high-stakes election. And every form of...
