Is This How Biden Blows It?
Last weekend, Philippe Reines walked over to Ron Klain’s house in Washington, D.C., to hand off his Donald Trump outfit: the suit, the shoes with the lifts, the shirt, the long red tie, the cufflinks. Just in case. When the former Hillary Clinton aide stored the outfit in a bag after playing Trump in debate prep four years ago, a part of him thought it might one day be in her presidential library.Klain ran Clinton’s debate prep, and he’s doing it again this year for Joe Biden. Klain has a rule against discussing the process, but he did tell me ... read more

How Trump’s Shot at WeChat Could Hit Americans Instead
When you arrive in the People’s Republic of China as a visitor, you know you’re being surveilled. The evidence is so bald and ubiquitous that it quickly melts into the background. During my last visit to China in late 2019, I entered through an airport festooned with closed-circuit cameras; in my hotel, after shaking off the winter’s bitter cold, I passed a prominent hallway placard from the municipal ministry of security mandating that all guests register with the police. I fell asleep looking at a similar notice on the hotel nightstand. I couldn’t see cameras in the bedroom walls or ... read more

Why Donald Trump Thinks He Can Flip Minnesota
There’s at least one person who thinks President Trump is likely to win Minnesota in November, even though polls show him well behind in the state. “There’s no way that I’m nine points down,” Trump told the enthusiastic crowd that packed an airplane hangar in the small Northern Minnesota town of Bemidji on Friday night. “This,” the President added, “is not the crowd of somebody that’s going to finish second in this state to Sleepy Joe,” his derisive nickname for Democrat Joe Biden. A few hours earlier, Biden, too, had appeared in northern Minnesota, touring a union hall ... read more

‘Fill That Seat!’ How Donald Trump Is Weaponizing His Supreme Court Pick on the Campaign Trail
For decades, presidential candidates have been coy about who they would put on the Supreme Court, sticking with the tradition of consulting with Senate on the choice. Not Donald Trump. It was one of Trump’s most successful political innovations in 2016: he promised to pick a future Supreme Court justice from a set list of conservative legal minds that he released to the public five months before the polls. The list reassured uneasy conservatives that Trump, with no political experience and having changed his political affiliation several times, wouldn’t be a wildcard on the courts and was serious ... read more

Biden’s False and Exaggerated Supreme Court Claims
In remarks following the death of Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden made several false and exaggerated claims while arguing that the Senate should wait until after the Nov. 3 election to let the next president choose her Supreme Court replacement. Biden falsely claimed that “there’s no court session between now and the end of this election.” The next Supreme Court session begins Oct. 5, nearly a full month before Election Day. Biden said, “I think the fastest justice ever confirmed was 47 days.” That’s false; since 1975, the shortest time from formal nomination to ... read more

Is it possible for Republicans to seat a Supreme Court justice in just six weeks?
United States Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg died on Sept. 18, thrusting the acrimonious struggle for control of the Supreme Court into public view. President Trump and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell have already vowed to nominate and confirm a replacement for the 87-year-old justice and women's rights icon. This contradicts the justification the Republican-controlled Senate used when they refused to consider the nomination of Merrick Garland, President Barack Obama's pick for the Court after the death of Antonin Scalia in February 2016. Garland, a moderate judge on the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, was ... read more
