Stealth Trump voters are not ashamed of voting for the president. They just don’t want a target on their backs. Just the News spoke with three such voters — "Jane," John," and "Richard," all of whose names have been changed to hide their identities. Jane is a Chinese-American woman from the suburbs of Indianapolis who says she has to face the liberal politics of soccer moms all the time. “I'm scared to death,” Jane told Just The News. As a single mom to a teenager, Jane doesn’t need any extra burdens. “I worry that I would become a target of...

PHOENIX — Numbers released by the Arizona Secretary of State today show that while the total number of registered voters in the state has barely increased, the Democratic Party is the recent winner. On the first report released since Arizona’s Democratic Presidential Preference Election, Democrats have increased their registration numbers by 15,307 to 32.5% of registered voters. The data implies that most of these gains came from voters not registered with a political party. Unaffiliated voters, also commonly referred to as Independents, lost 9,561 voters in the same period, bringing them to 31.8%. Republicans, meanwhile, increased 10,594.

In 2016, frustration with the nation’s elite fueled a middle-class revolt. Many voters seethed at the way the Washington establishment had bailed out bankers while leaving homeowners underwater. I realize that may sound strange coming from someone with my public profile. I’m rarely described as a fount of compassion—at home or in public. But there’s just no denying that people want the next president to help carry the nation’s pain. This will be a big boost for Joe Biden in November. As a working-class patriot who made good despite enduring a litany of personal tragedies, he has proved himself uniquely...

French has slandered his Christian brothers and sisters by writing that 'millions of Trump-supporting white Evangelicals no longer care about character.' David French remains very disappointed that many of his fellow evangelicals support President Donald Trump. He has used the Wuhan virus pandemic to reiterate and expand his arguments against the president’s character and competence (spoiler: He still thinks Trump is too wicked and incompetent for Christians to vote for him).But he ignores that evangelical support for Trump, warts and all, is justified by principles French has urged on us — namely, that ours is not a Christian nation...

Cardi B was a vocal supporter of Bernie Sanders and his bid for the presidency. Now that he’s out of the race, the rapper is calling out her young fans who talked a good game about voting for the Vermont senator, but never actually made it to the polls. “I see a lot of young people on the internet always lying!” Cardi, 27, said. “Y’all young motherf–kers, I’m getting sick of y’all. I’m about to start hanging out with my grandma’s friends, because they vote. Y’all don’t vote, and that s–t is getting me tight.” She continued to call out...

Sen. Bernie Sanders’s coalition isn’t that big, at least not right now — he won about a quarter of Democratic primary voters in Iowa and New Hampshire, plus about a third of the first-alignment vote in Nevada,1 and about a quarter to a third of Democratic voters say they support him in most state and national polls. But Sanders’s backers are worth understanding because of what they’ve accomplished: making a democratic socialist who is not officially a Democrat the front-runner to lead the Democratic Party, over the objections of virtually all of the party’s establishment and many of its voters....

The website for an election app used by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s party made it possible to view full names, addresses, identity card numbers and more. A software flaw exposed the personal data of every eligible voter in Israel — including full names, addresses and identity card numbers for 6.5 million people — raising concerns about identity theft and electoral manipulation, three weeks before the country’s national election.The security lapse was tied to a mobile app used by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his Likud party to communicate with voters, offering news and information about the March 2 election. Until...

Newly-installed San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin has dropped charges against a man whom police officers shot several times last month after he allegedly struck one of them with a glass vodka bottle, ran away, then attacked again. Rank-and-file officers are reportedly furious, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. Boudin, as Breitbart News and others have reported, is the son of two activists in the Weather Underground, which the FBI calls a domestic terrorist organization, who were getaway drivers in a 1981 armored car heist that led to the deaths of two police officers and a guard, the UK Guardian...

New Mexico Republicans will embark on an aggressive strategy to win over Hispanic and Native American voters in 2020 as the party experiences its most diverse primary races in recent history, state chairman Steve Pearce announced. Pearce said the state party will appoint Hispanic and Native American outreach coordinators in all of the state’s 33 counties. He is also urging all candidates to travel to Democratic strongholds instead of just focusing on the GOP’s traditional base. “I am excited about minority candidates saying more broadly for the first time, ‘I am Republican, and I’m going to run as a Republican,'”...

A nonpartisan group in Washington, D.C., says targeted mailings that encourage voter registration are going out to 1 in 8 residents of New Mexico. The Voter Participation Center says it will attempt to reach more than 248,000 people in the state by mail in January as part of a national campaign to reach populations that are statistically underrepresented in elections. The effort seeks to narrow the gap between those eligible to vote and those who are registered to vote — a gap that is especially pronounced among Latinos, said center founder and President Page Gardner. New Mexico has the highest...

We often hear about President Trump’s appeal within his party. His team keeps a very close eye on the numbers and the President often Tweets them out, ranging from 92%-95% in recent months. His party loves him. But it will take more than his own party to win reelection. According to campaign manager Brad Parscale, numbers coming out of his recent Sunrise, Florida rally tell us he’s well on his way to securing unlikely (at least in the eyes of mainstream media) voters. His huge rally, which drew over 31,000 people this week, had a large number of Democrats and...

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) leads in the Democrat primary among LGBT voters, a YouGov and Out magazine poll revealed. YouGov and Out magazine collaborated to examine the Democrat primary preferences of LGBT voters, surveying 816 likely voters November 11-18. Respondents overwhelmingly chose Warren as their candidate of choice. She bested Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), who came in second place, by double digits. The Massachusetts senator garnered 31 percent support, followed by Sanders with 18 percent support, former Vice President Joe Biden (D) with 16 percent support, and Mayor Pete Buttigieg (D) with 14 percent support. Buttigieg’s fourth-place status is significant,...

With polls showing voters turning against impeachment, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif) told fellow Democrats “that fact alone makes it even more imperative that we complete the job of removing Trump from office. We must reject the weak and dangerous suggestion to just let the voters decide whether to vote against letting him continue in office. I mean, do I have to remind you that we trusted voters to choose wisely in 2016. Well, we saw how that turned out.” The speaker urged that “we ‘trail blaze’ a new process for selecting a president. In parliamentary systems like they have...

As Democrats continue with their impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump, one thing is increasingly clear: the Democratic Party is worried about their ability to beat Trump in 2020. Voters go to the polls in the Iowa Caucus in less than 12 weeks and the Democratic field is still fairly packed.  The Trump campaign is focused on reminding the American people of promises the President made during the 2016 election cycle and kept once in office. He has successfully delivered on tax cuts, unemployment rates have hit a record low – especially for Hispanics and African Americans – and the...

President Donald Trump was right to take on China but his mercurial nature may hinder the ability of Washington to cut a comprehensive trade and technology deal with Beijing down the road, The New York Times’ Tom Friedman told CNBC on Thursday. (Please see link for full article)

A fresh batch of polling from the New York Times and Siena College demonstrates that against Joe Biden, Trump is only a modest underdog at this point, battling within the margin of error among likely voters in a slew of battlegrounds. Against Bernie Sanders, Trump is a slight favorite. And in a potential battle with Elizabeth Warren, Trump is tied or leading in all six tossup states tested. Some on the Left are eyeing these numbers and getting nervous:

When talking to supporters both before and after the rally, impeachment seemed to be furthest from their mind. October 18, 2019 By Madeline Osburn DALLAS, Texas — It’s only fitting that the first sentence out of President Trump’s mouth at his Dallas, Texas rally on Thursday night was about the luxury fashion brand Louis Vuitton.“I am thrilled to be here, deep in the heart of Texas, where we just opened a beautiful, new Louis Vuitton plant,” Trump said from the American Airlines Center podium.Wealthy, beautiful women with designer purses is in fact what many Texans think of when they think...
