Twice-failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is among those who recognized the significance of former President Donald Trump’s decisive victory in New Hampshire Tuesday evening, previewing a general election race between Trump and President Joe Biden. “After the Republican primary in New Hampshire, the choice for November is becoming clearer than ever,” Clinton began, asserting that democracy will somehow strengthen with Biden at the helm. “Will you choose expanding freedom and strengthening democracy with Biden, or more abortion bans and election denialism with Trump?” she asked. “I say: Four more years of progress”: After the Republican primary in New Hampshire, the...

Presidential hopeful Nikki Haley is projecting a path beyond New Hampshire before results are even in, with her campaign releasing a memo clarifying that she is not going anywhere. “It’s officially a two-person race. It’s Nikki Haley vs. Donald Trump,” a memo released by Haley’s campaign on New Hampshire’s primary day reads, boasting of the millions of dollars the campaign has raised. “The political class and media want to give Donald Trump a coronation,” it continues. “They say the race is over.”

A pair of Arizona election officials pleaded not guilty Thursday to charges of interfering in the certification of the 2022 midterm results in their county. The Cochise County supervisors, Peggy Judd and Tom Crosby, questioned whether machines used for tabulating ballots in the midterms were properly certified for elections, despite state and federal officials’ approval. The board certified the results three days after the deadline. Judd and Crosby pleaded not guilty on charges of interference with an election officer and conspiracy during the brief arraignment hearing Thursday, The Associated Press reported. The officials were informed of additional court dates, including...

There’s growing public concern over President Joe Biden’s cognitive abilities. It is in the interest of the president — as well as the Democratic Party and the country — to address those concerns by submitting to a cognitive test that would include independent medical professionals. And he should do it soon. So far, both the president and First Lady Jill Biden have dismissed calls for him to submit to a cognitive test. But the public is growing worried. As reported in The Hill, a recent NBC News poll found that 68 percent are concerned the president “does not possess the...

Governor DeSantis said the Republican Party “needs to shake a culture of losing that has developed in recent years,” because in “in times like these, there is no substitute for victory.” “As I look ahead to 2024, I believe if the Democrats are able to sweep the offices again… they will pack the U.S. Supreme Court, abolish the Electoral College and make Washington, D.C. a state and eliminate voter ID in every jurisdiction,” he said. DeSantis said his reelection win in 2022 showed that voters supported his leadership during the pandemic. Leadership “is about delivering results,” he said, adding that...

Listen to this article 0:00 / 4:18 1X BeyondWords Now that the U.S. Senate run-off in Georgia between Herschel Walker and Sen. Raphael Warnock is behind us, the final results of the 2022 midterm elections are in. This is an opportune moment to examine what happened at the polls and what we can expect from the U.S. Senate and U.S. House of Representatives in the 118th Congress starting in January 2023. With incumbent Raphael Warnock’s victory, Democrats will return to Washington with a 51 to 49 majority in the U.S. Senate. Although Senate Democrats only managed a net pick-up of...

Arizona officials certified the state’s vote canvass on Monday, officially declaring winners in the high-profile gubernatorial and Senate races, among other contests, as GOP figures vow to fight the election results in court. The once low-profile certification process turned into a fierce battle between election officials, Republican candidates and some county boards as the GOP seized on printer malfunctions in the state’s most populous county, in part leading Arizona to become an epicenter for voter disenfranchisement allegations. Election officials have acknowledged mishaps but insist no voter was disenfranchised. Some GOP figures and their supporters claimed officials were lying, unsuccessfully calling...

Anthony Fauci says he’s not breathing a sigh of relief that Republicans — who vowed to investigate him if they retook the Senate — didn’t win the majority in the upper chamber, because he has “no problem at all” testifying before Congress. “I have nothing to hide at all, despite the accusations that I’m hiding something,” Fauci, the nation’s leading infectious diseases expert and President Biden’s chief medical adviser, told ITK at a gala in Washington over the weekend. “I have nothing that I could not explain clearly to the country and justify,” Fauci said. Sen. Rand Paul said earlier...

Is there a source for accurate information on the remaining House races? Its a week after Election day.... how the hell aren't these votes counted, fabricated, whatever it is they are doing? What seats does the GOP expect to win?

The mood was boisterous Wednesday on the set of ABC’s hit talk show “The View,” as the show’s hosts celebrated a number of political losses handed to former President Trump in the midterm elections. “I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention, the single biggest loser of the night was one Donald J. Trump,” said Alyssa Farah Griffin, Trump’s former communications director and now the lone conservative on the panel. “He dragged down the Republican candidates in a huge way. He insisted on putting up candidates based on their fealty to him, not their qualifications.”

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said that the latest results from Tuesday’s midterm elections show that former President Trump’s political instincts are “about” himself and not for his party. Christie made the remarks during an appearance on ABC’s “Good Morning America” after co-anchor George Stephanopoulos asked if he agreed with an assessment about Trump being the biggest loser in the election. In response, Christie said that the GOP lost races in key battleground states due to the party’s choices of “inferior candidates.” Trump has come under criticism for backing candidates that some Republicans thought could be weak in a...

With more Californians participating in elections through vote by mail, the results for several high-profile races in the Los Angeles area might not be called until days or weeks after Election Day, according to a report. That includes the tightening race between Democratic Rep. Karen Bass, a longtime elected official in southeast LA, and billionaire developer Rick Caruso competing to become mayor of the second-largest city in the nation. According to the Los Angeles Times, "Final results may take days or weeks in certain high-profile races, including a handful of nail-biter congressional contests around the state and a number of...

The corporate media spent years denying the results of the 2016 presidential election and are already laying the groundwork to question and deny the 2022 mid-term election results. The election deniers at the far-left Politico, an outlet that pushed the Russia Collusion Hoax like few others, have already published a list of “6 security threats to watch for on Election Day.” The list includes everything from “hacking” to “misinformation.”

So, you got a positive result on your home test for Covid-19. What do you do next? In addition to everything else on your plate — isolating and notifying close contacts, taking time off work and rescheduling appointments — it’s good practice to report your test results. And while home tests have made it easier and faster to screen yourself and get treatment, it is not always easy to report an illness. This confusion has meant that many cases are left out of official counts. If you test positive at a clinic or another community testing site, those results must...

During a portion of an interview with MSNBC released on Friday, California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) stated that the San Francisco school board recall results weren’t a surprise because the recalled board members weren’t focused on what they needed to be, but that “we can overread this from a national prism.” And “one should be cautious, in terms of overreading.”

A lab in Australia's most populated state told about 400 people that they had tested negative for COVID-19 when in fact they had tested positive for the virus. The SydPath laboratory in New South Wales mistakenly told 400 people infected with the coronavirus that they had tested negative, St. Vincent's Hospital in Sydney, Australia said on Sunday.

Georgia gubernatorial candidate and former Sen. David Perdue (R) said on Wednesday that he would not have certified Georgia's 2020 presidential election results. "Not with the information that was available at the time and not with the information that has come out now. They had plenty of time to investigate this. And I wouldn’t have signed it until those things had been investigated and that’s all we were asking for," Perdue told Axios. He added if he had been governor at the time, he would have called for a special session of the state legislature to "protect and fix what...

President Biden admitted Wednesday that Democrats need to “produce results” — a stunning confession following Tuesday’s election upsets. The intense day at the polls saw Democrats lose the gubernatorial race in Virginia — a state Biden won by 10 points in 2020. Meanwhile, his party only narrowly won in heavily Democratic New Jersey on Wednesday. Republicans, who are looking to retake the House in 2022, championed their victories this week as the “red wave.” When pressed about the crushing outcomes, Biden appeared to admit his party had failed to deliver results.

The New Jersey governor’s race is still up in the air thanks to vote-counting debacles plaguing several counties — including in a key area where dozens of machines were shut down before ballots were counted. A mistake by a poll worker led machines in 56 voting districts in Essex County, the state’s second-most populated region, to be turned off before their ballots were tallied, local election officials said. The flub has helped throw a wrench into calling the stunningly tight race between Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy and GOP foe Jack Ciattarelli.
