The event marked the first stop of Kirk's "American Comeback" campus tour.

Vermont Sen. Peter Welch on Wednesday became the first Democratic senator to call on President Joe Biden to step aside as the party’s presidential nominee. “The stakes could not be higher. We cannot unsee President Biden’s disastrous debate performance. We cannot ignore or dismiss the valid questions raised since that night,” Welch said in a Washington Post op-ed that noted his “great respect” for the president. “I understand why President Biden wants to run. He saved us from Donald Trump once and wants to do it again,” Welch continued. “But he needs to reassess whether he is the best candidate...

More than 69 percent of Vermont’s population...

The Arizona Supreme Court late Tuesday threw out the bid by the head of the state Republican Party to void the results of the presidential race. In a unanimous ruling, the justices said that party Chairwoman Kelli Ward failed to present any evidence of misconduct or illegal votes in the tally that found Joe Biden outpolled President Trump in Arizona. Chief Justice Robert Brutinel, writing for the court, said Ward, who has the burden of proof when challenging an election, provided no evidence that the electors pledged to Trump got more votes than those pledged to Biden, “let alone (to)...

In 2018, Andrew Gillum was a rising star in the Democratic Party as its nominee to be governor of Florida. **SNIP** Nevertheless, Gillum referred to that photo in his conversation with Hall, which was previewed Thursday on ABC’s “Good Morning America.” “When that photo came out, I didn’t recognize the person on the floor,” Gillum told Hall in the ABC excerpt. “That was not anything more than a person being at their most vulnerable state, unconscious, having given no consent, and someone decided to use a moment where I was literally lying in my own vomit.” Gillum soon entered a...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., got emotional on Friday as she discussed how climate change affected her own personal outlook on life. “I speak to you not as an elected official or a public figure, but I speak to you as a human being," the freshman congresswoman told a climate summit in Copenhagen.
