Kirk: To secure the White House in 2024, we must win low-propensity voters

By CHARLIE KIRK | The Daily Caller As the media world and D.C. insiders become increasingly transfixed by the fallout from President Joe Biden’s disastrous debate performance, it becomes more important than ever that the conservative movement remains steadfastly focused on the most important things — namely, registering voters and chasing their ballots. This is the hard work that wins elections in our modern era and that has quite literally flipped conventional election logic on its head. To that end, there is a term you are going to hear more and more this summer and fall as the key factor in former President Donald Trump’s hopes of retaking the White House: “Low-propensity voter.” READ THE FULL COMMENTARY AT THE DAILY CALLER Editor's note: Opinions expressed in co...

Trump throws down challenge for ‘no holds barred’ debate with Biden

By Elaine Mallon | Washington Examiner On Independence Day, former President Donald Trump took to Truth Social to challenge President Joe Biden to a second presidential debate.  Biden’s performance in the Atlanta debate has called into question the president’s cognitive ability, with one reporter asking White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre if he suffered from Alzheimer’s.  Biden and his campaign team have acknowledged that he had a rough showing in the debate.

Independence Day: Some cite Reagan, Trump, but Gardner goes way back to Adams in Twitter greetings

By BRIAN PORTER | Rocky Mountain Voice While Coloradans were enjoying parades, rodeos and cookouts in celebration Thursday of Independence Day, elected Republican officials past, present and possibly future turned to Twitter. For those not binge-watching Yellowstone re-runs, Twitter was filled with their personal thoughts and quotations, as could be expected, by Presidents Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump, and unexpectedly by novelist William Faulkner. The occasion drew former U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner to get more creative, citing the country's co-drafter of the Declaration of Independence, the first vice president, first occupant of the White House and the country's only Federalist president: John Adams. Gardner encouraged Coloradans and Americans to, as Adams had said in 1776, "Ce...

York: Biden’s big Dirty Harry ‘make my day’ bluff was called by Trump

By Byron York | Washington Examiner BIDEN’S BIG BLUFF. Until a week ago, President Joe Biden seemingly had the age issue under control. Yes, he had senior moments, some of which were quite severe, such as the episode at the White House Juneteenth concert in which he weirdly froze for two minutes, silent, eyes fixed straight ahead, body absolutely motionless. But commentary on such moments was mostly confined to a few news outlets. Much of the White House press corps seemed to accept the Biden press handlers’ explanation that the stories were “cheap fakes” created by Republicans to hurt the president politically. It’s hard to understand why any observant reporter would accept such an explanation, but some did. Everyone knew that polls showed large majorities of vot...

Supreme Court rules ex-Presidents have substantial protection from prosecution

By Brooke Singman , Brianna Herlihy  | Fox News The Supreme Court ruled Monday in Trump v. United States that a former president has substantial immunity from prosecution for official acts committed while in office, but not for unofficial acts. In a 6-3 decision, the Court sent the matter back down to a lower court, as the justices did not apply the ruling to whether or not former President Trump is immune from prosecution regarding actions related to efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election. "The President enjoys no immunity for his unofficial acts, and not everything the President does is official," Chief Justice John Roberts wrote for the majority.  "The President is not above the law. But Congress may not criminalize the President’s conduct in carrying...

‘A good free-for-all’: Weld County crowd reacts to first Biden-Trump debate meeting of ’24

By BRIAN PORTER | Rocky Mountain Voice HUDSON -- Just a jog down the road from where a rancher long ago installed two, giant pro-Donald Trump billboards in his pastures, the Republican Women of Weld met Thursday to cheer on the former, and they hope future, President. A capacity crowd in the backroom of Ben's Pizza supported Mr. Trump, with applause and often laughter, as he took on President Joe Biden in their first debate meeting of the year. A bingo game with predictable phrases that might be uttered didn't last through the first commercial break, but the crowd lasted through the 1-1/2 hour debate in which largely Mr. Biden and Mr. Trump took turns criticizing each other's policies, and their golf games. "I'm happy it was civil," said Dan Woog, a state representative in Dist...

Harsanyi: Biden just put on most disastrous debate performance in Presidential history

By DAVID HARSANYI | The Federalist Sure, it might sound like hyperbole, but I can’t think of a more devastating presidential debate performance than the one Joe Biden had in his first meeting with Donald Trump. Indeed, even with abnormally low expectations, Biden tripped over them as if they were sandbags. After watching post-debate reaction, it’s safe to say no modern presidential debate has ever rattled a political party quite like this one. The scratchy and frail voice. The speedy mumbling — it was like watching a TV at 2x speed. The overall incoherence. The confused and angry stares. The jumbling of thoughts —“I was recently in, in, in, um, France for D-Day, and I spoke to — all about those heroes that died …” and so on — was relentless. It was difficult to wa...

Biden, Trump spar over inflation, border, more in first presidential debate

By Casey Harper and Ireland Owens | The Center Square President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump grappled over inflation, illegal immigration, abortion and more during the first debate of this election cycle Thursday night in Atlanta. A Quinnipiac poll released the day before the debate shows Trump with a 49%-45% lead over Biden, showing Biden needed to turn the tide Thursday night. But throughout the debate, Biden showed moments of murmuring, blank stares, trailing off in his responses, or seeming to lose his train of thought. “I really don’t know what he said at the end of that sentence,” Trump said early in the debate. “I really don’t think he knows what he said either.” Questions have surrounded Biden, 81, for a growing number of stumbles and miscues in...

Post-debate poll shows voters lost confidence in Biden; Democrats’ confidence in him plummets

By Jeff Mordock | The Washington Times The first post-debate poll amplified Democrats’ fears about President Biden’s reelection with 57% of registered voters saying they have “no real confidence” in his ability to lead the country after his halting, stumbling performance. Most striking, perhaps, was the percentage of registered Democratic debate watchers whose confidence in Mr. Biden to lead the country plummeted from 54% before the debate to just 39% after the debate at CNN headquarters in Atlanta.By contrast, 69% of registered Republicans said post-debate that they have a lot of confidence in former President Donald Trump to lead the nation, compared to 73% who held that opinion before the debate.

Not a toss-up: Polling guru Nate Silver gives Trump 66% chance of winning 2024 race

By Valerie Richardson | The Washington Times Election prognosticator Nate Silver is no fan of Donald Trump, but he predicts that the former president will win the November election against President Biden, and what’s more, it won’t be particularly close. In his first 2024 presidential election model, the political-statistics guru gave the presumptive Republican nominee a 65.7% chance of winning the Electoral College vote versus 33.7% for the Democrat Biden. “The model gives Trump a 66 percent chance of winning the Electoral College, and Biden a 34 percent chance,” Mr. Silver said Thursday on the Silver Bulletin, his Substack account.
