    Uncommitted delegates representing more than 800,000 Americans across the country who cast protest votes against then-candidate President Biden for his military support of Israel are looking to Vice President Harris this week at the Democratic National Convention to articulate her Israel and Gaza policy and vocalize a commitment to preventing major loss of Palestinian life with American-funded weapons. Pro-Palestinian protests began in Chicago on Sunday night ahead of the DNC's official kickoff on Monday with more than 1,000 demonstrators marching through the city streets. More than 40,000 protestors are expected outside of the convention on Monday where Biden will take...

    MILWAUKEE — President Biden once told Black voters that if they supported Donald Trump, then they “ain’t Black.” Rep. John James turned that joke on its head this week from the stage at the Republican National Convention: “I heard a little earlier today, ‘If you don’t vote for Donald Trump, you ain’t Black,’” the lawmaker from Michigan said as he flashed a smile to the crowd.Mr. James is one of a historic number of Black Americans making the argument at the convention that Mr. Trump has broken Democrats’ decadeslong lock on the Black vote.From the stage Monday, the first night...

    Fearing a floor revolt against his nomination, Joe Biden’s aides are telephoning individual delegates to next month’s Democratic convention to gauge their loyalty to the president, according to three delegates who received a call this week. After a round of introductory questions confirming each delegate was still planning on going to Chicago and asking if they had served as delegate before, the Biden aide making the calls got to the point, the Democratic activists recalled to me in separate interviews. One of the delegates said the line of questioning turned with an inquiry along the lines of, “Do you understand...

    Former Democratic National Committee chair Donna Brazile said Sunday that all eyes will be on Democratic delegates before the party’s convention as President Biden faces rising concerns over his age. Brazile said the returned electoral ballots from the party’s delegates will show Biden if there are serious concerns about his candidacy. “Those delegates who have by and large been supportive of the president, pledged to the president, they will submit their ballots hopefully within one week,” she said in an ABC “This Week” interview. “We will probably ascertain better than any pollster, better than any pundit, better than any strategist,...

    TALLAHASSEE, Florida — Gov. Ron DeSantis sure seems to be acting like a candidate again — and he’s picking new fights with the most powerful Republican in America.During a lengthy call last week with more than 200 pledged delegates to his former presidential campaign, DeSantis shot down any speculation that he’d be Donald Trump’s vice president, warned the former president against using “identity politics” in choosing a running mate and blamed Trump’s campaign team for relentlessly attacking him before the governor dropped out of the presidential race in January.DeSantis held the call the same week he traveled to Indiana and...

    Donald Trump has won the Nevada caucuses and all its 26 delegates in the winner-take-all contest. This race has been over for weeks. It’s why Trump declared victory after winning the New Hampshire Primary because he’s running virtually unopposed. The only other person on the ballot is Ryan Binkley. All we needed was the vote totals for the caucus, which was held between 5 and 7:30 pm local time and eight and 10:30 pm EST.

    Reports are that the Ron DeSantis campaign is telling donors he has a shot at winning delegates in next month’s caucuses in the U.S. Virgin Islands. However, what the campaign’s plan is to do that remains unclear at this writing. Spokesman Andrew Romeo didn’t respond to a couple of our inquiries regarding how Team DeSantis intends to tackle the Feb. 8 plebiscite. Meanwhile, VI Republicans say there has been no communication between the DeSantis operation and local officials, in contrast to the Trump and Haley operations, which have plans for VI events the day after the New Hampshire Primary (an...

    Senior officials at the Democratic National Committee are sounding the alarm that the committee is falling short of its own diversity goals. And they're warning that if current trends aren’t changed, the delegates heading to next summer’s convention will be too white when they gather next summer to officially renominate resident Joe Biden. “I keep looking at these diversity goals in big states like New York, like California. And, for some reason, whether it’s the African American community, Black community, the LGBTQ+ community, or Hispanic community, [the] numbers continue to decrease,” Donna Brazile told her colleagues at a recent committee...

    Former President Trump dominates his rivals so heavily that he’s on track to win all of California’s delegates for next year’s Republican convention — a haul that would give him a major chunk of the votes needed to secure his third presidential nomination. The finding from a new UC Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies poll co-sponsored by the Los Angeles Times highlights a turnabout from earlier this year. In February, Trump faced a serious challenge from Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis among California Republicans. The potential for Trump to win all of the state’s delegates also reflects his campaign’s work to...

DeSantis now trails former President Donald Trump by over 2,000 forecasted delegates, according to polling data tracker, ‘Race to the White House.’The Governor of Florida has watched his delegate vote forecast plunge by 901 since the start of the year, setting yet another historic low for his campaign. Trump has collected the vast majority of DeSantis’s losses, and is now predicted to take a whopping 2220 votes. Only 1,234 delegate votes are needed to be declared the...

    Florida man Ron DeSantis is at an all-time low in GOP delegate number predictions, dropping more than 400 since declaring his candidacy, according to ‘Race to the WH,’ which tracks the latest GOP polling data. DeSantis was predicted to receive around 1,413 delegates as late as February 25 this year, leading former President Donald Trump by almost 400. Since then, support for DeSantis has dropped precipitously, with the Governor now forecasted to receive only 405 delegate votes, down from 834 on May 25 – the day after his “historic screw-up” presidential campaign launch on Twitter spaces. Former President Donald Trump,...

    Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ team is already plotting out a strategy to run against Donald Trump for the long haul. The plan focuses less on making a quick splash in places like Iowa or New Hampshire and more on outlasting the former president in a battle for Republican convention delegates. Even though it’s early and DeSantis isn’t officially a candidate yet, in talks behind the scenes, an expanded map is viewed as one of the keys to victory, three sources close to the governor said. “There have been multiple conversations about delegates and how they are picked in various states...
