In the face of historic and unprecedented irregularities in the counting of votes in swing states including Michigan and Pennsylvania, Republican lawyers are suing to ensure the integrity of this election. The Trump campaign and state-level Republican Party organizations have filed lawsuits in Michigan and Georgia, as well as new lawsuits in Pennsylvania, where the U.S. Supreme Court has requested Democrats respond to a motion by the Trump campaign to intervene in an earlier suit over Pennsylvania’s decision to keep accepting new mail-in ballots for days after Election Day, in violation of state law. In addition, private, non-partisan groups such...

‘60 Minutes’ and Lesley Stahl falsely reported it is 'unverified' that the Obama-Biden administration spied on Trump’s campaign in 2016. Last week, President Trump’s team released 38 minutes of unedited video capturing his contentious sit-down with Lesley Stahl of “60 Minutes.” Sunday evening, CBS broadcast clips of the interview and amazingly let air proof of Trump’s charge that the media is fake news: “60 Minutes” and Stahl falsely reported that it is “unverified” that the Obama-Biden administration spied on Trump’s campaign in 2016. Trump and not Stahl raised this scandal, as the unedited video showed, after he reversed roles with...

Donald Trump’s campaign announced on Saturday that it has over 2.2 million volunteers working to return him to the White House in November. “The @realDonaldTrump campaign is officially the largest grassroots movement in presidential history surpassing the @BarackObama campaign,” Trump campaign Political Director Chris Carr posted on Twitter. “Trump Victory has 2,275,878 volunteers and counting thanks to the BOLDNESS of this President!” he wrote.

President Donald Trump is considering spending as much as $100 million of his own money in a final campaign push to beat Democratic nominee Joe Biden in November’s election, according to a new report. People familiar with the discussions told Bloomberg that the Republican president has talked about the idea with multiple people but hasn’t committed to it at this time. Trump contributed $66 million to his 2016 campaign, but it is unprecedented for an incumbent president to use his own funds in attempting to win a second term in office. The report comes as Biden and the Democratic National...

Tuesday, August 18, 2020: Join the RSBN crew for live coverage as President Donald J. Trump holds a campaign event at Joe Foss Hangar in Yuma, AZ

Arizona is a battleground state, and President Donald Trump is targeting it in earnest, even more so than his opponent, Joe Biden. This is the third time Trump has visited the Grand Canyon state in 2020. He’s set to brave the 111-degree heat on Tuesday in Yuma, Arizona, where he’s scheduled to visit the border wall construction efforts in the region... In August, Trump then gave (Arizona Governor) Ducey a promotion, appointing him as Co-Chair of the bipartisan Council of Governors that discusses issues affecting states and the federal government. Now Trump is aiming to return to the Desert Southwest...

President Trump and his reelection campaign aren’t waiting for their designated moment in the 2020 electoral spotlight. The Trump team this week is barnstorming critical swing states, knocking on doors and launching a digital ad blitz amid the Democratic National Convention that it says will expose rival Joe Biden's “abject failure” as an elected official and his campaign’s hard-left turn. In an act of political showmanship, Trump will start with a visit to Wisconsin on Monday – the same day that the Democrats’ nominating convention begins in Milwaukee – by holding a rally in nearby Oshkosh. Biden, however, is set...

The Trump campaign for reelection wasted no time reacting to Team Biden's announcement that Sen. Kamala Harris had been chosen to join the former vice president in his bid for the White House. In a statement posted to Twitter by campaign Director of Communications Tim Murtaugh, the team expressed little surprise that Biden had tapped Harris as his potential VP. The statement, written by senior campaign adviser Katrina Pierson, excoriated Harris for her record of supporting far-left policies, advocating for ludicrous tax hikes, and backing down from her accusations of racism against Biden. "Not long ago, Kamala Harris called Joe...

Brad Parscale, who was recently demoted as the campaign manager of President Trump, called the media a "criminal network" and "America's biggest enemy" in a Friday tweet, drawing criticism from journalists on social media. “The media is a criminal network that has very few honest people,” Parscale tweeted to his more than 735,000 followers. “They have zero intention to tell the truth. I have seen so many live in fear of a negative story. I am happy I get to continue to fight with @realDonaldTrump against America’s biggest enemy, the media!” The media is a criminal network that has very...

You could say it's all Donald Trump's fault. His bad qualities -- his carelessness about facts, his obstinance about admitting error, his contempt for others' views -- have turned out to be contagious, to the point that you could argue they're more damaging to his opponents than to him. This started early on, during the 2016 campaign. "I will look at it at the time," Trump replied when asked during the final fall debate whether he would concede if he lost. "That's horrifying," Hillary Clinton replied, quite reasonably. But maybe not so horrifying. Clinton, Obama administration intelligence, law enforcement appointees...

A British court decision unmasks new evidence of FBI abuses in the Russia collusion probe. It was in London that the whole Russia collusion caper began four years ago, so it seems only fitting that as the discredited probe enters its final phase that damning new evidence of the FBI’s failures would emerge back in England. This week when a British judge ruled against the former FBI human source Christopher Steele, the decision delivered more than an order for the former spy’s company to pay damages to two Russian businessmen maligned by his dossier. It also introduced new incontrovertible evidence...

Former Vice President Joe Biden’s recent decision to duck a fourth presidential debate tells you everything you need to know about the presumptive Democrat nominee’s rapidly depleting stamina: the man is already too tired to run a full campaign against President Trump.  When the Trump Campaign offered Biden a chance to participate in a fourth debate this fall — to take place a few weeks ahead of the others in order to give both candidates a chance to reach early voters before they cast their ballots in this historic election — the former vice president and his team decided to...

The president’s reelection campaign has set a fundraising record. On Wednesday, the campaign announced they had raised more than $266 million in the second quarter of 2020 in a joint effort with the Republican National Committee (RNC). Approximately $131 million from this total came from the month of June alone, which is the most raised in one month since 2016. The campaign raised $155 million in the last quarter, which is an increase of 71 percent from the first to the second quarter. The new record setting number comes as good news to the Trump campaign who has been out...

The Trump re-election campaign, Republican National Committee, and other parties, including 13th District Congressman John Joyce have filed a lawsuit against the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and all 67 county election boards, including Franklin County, over mail-in voting.

President Trump’s allies are urging him to change his tone and key figures in the campaign’s orbit are pointing fingers over who is to blame for the president’s spiraling poll numbers with just over four months to go until Election Day. There is frustration in Trump World over the president's lack of discipline and his confrontational tone during a time of high anxiety over the coronavirus and civil unrest around the death of George Floyd while in police custody. Some Trump allies are worried that campaign manager Brad Parscale is in over his head. And there is sniping between pro-Trump...

<p>The old 2020 election was supposed to be about many familiar issues. It is not anymore.</p> <p>Up until now, the candidates themselves would supposedly be the story in November. The Left had cited Trump's tweets and erratic firings as windows into his dark soul.</p>

President Trump kicked off his re-election campaign on Saturday with a packed arena in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The president let loose on Joe Biden, the left-wing mob, and some of the more recent lies spouted by the liberal media.   "When the chips are down, Biden will always cave to the radical left. He'll always bow to the angry mob, and he will never protect you or your family," the president said. "Joe Biden will always let you down." The president called Biden a "shameless hypocrite" who "has delivered fawning eulogies ... of three leading supporters of segregation, including a former member...

President Barack Obama’s Treasury Department regularly surveilled retired Army Lt. Gen. Michael T. Flynn’s financial records and transactions beginning in December 2015 and well into 2017, before, during and after when he served at the White House as President Donald Trump’s National Security Director, a former senior Treasury Department official, and veteran of the intelligence community, told the Star Newspapers. “I started seeing things that were not correct, so I did my own little investigation, because I wanted to make sure what I was seeing was correct” she said. “You never want to draw attention to something if there is...

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is fully exposed in a really bad optics nightmare as her ice cream and expensive refrigerator videos are blended in with footage from around the country that show people suffering. This is probably the most brutal takedown of the Democratic House Speaker, but she did this to herself by holding up relief for small businesses and taking home videos in front of refrigerators that normal people don't even get to look at in person.
