George Brauchler, once term-limited in 18th District, announces he will run for DA in new 23rd Judicial District

By Ernest Luning | Colorado Politics Parker Republican George Brauchler, the former district attorney for Colorado's 18th Judicial District, announced on Monday he wants his old job back, kind of. After facing term limits three years ago as the top prosecutor in the state's largest judicial district — covering Arapahoe, Douglas, Elbert and Lincoln counties — Brauchler is vying to become the inaugural district attorney from the new judicial district that will be created at the beginning of next year, when the old 18th district splits in two. Brauchler is running for the 23rd Judicial District, the state's first new judicial district in 60 years, which will encompass Douglas, Elbert and Lincoln counties, while Arapahoe County will have the old 18th district to itself. The seasone...

Voters: Biden is losing it, and the media are covering it up

By Paul Bedard | Denver Gazette There is a growing concern among voters that President Joe Biden is losing his mental edge and that the media are working overtime to hide it. In the latest Rasmussen Reports survey shared with Secrets, 59% of voters said they believe Biden “is getting less and less mentally sharp over time.” White voters at 59% and black voters at 58% are in agreement that Biden is becoming more mentally challenged. Even 36% of Democrats agree, Rasmussen said. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE DENVER GAZETTE

Could GOP leader Ronna McDaniel be out? Trump suggests she could be removed

By Conrad Hoyt | The Gazette Former President Donald Trump said there will "probably be some changes made" regarding the Republican National Committee and its chairwoman, Ronna McDaniel. Speaking on Fox News's Sunday Morning Futures, the Republican presidential front-runner maintained that he has "nothing to do" with the RNC. He then spoke candidly about McDaniel, his longtime ally and a woman he helped secure the post in 2017 after she helped him win Michigan in the 2016 presidential election. Host Maria Bartiromo asked Trump how he thought McDaniel was doing in her current role, to which he paused before answering: "I think she did great when she ran Michigan for me. I think she did OK, initially, in the RNC. I would say right now, there'll probably be s...

‘We’re broke with Biden’: S. Carolina voters explain interest in voting for Trump

By Asher Notheis | The Gazette South Carolina voters explained in a recent interview the reasons they intend to vote for former President Donald Trump this November instead of President Joe Biden. The voters were discussing the presidential election in an interview that aired on Friday, during which they were asked if they knew of anyone who was planning to vote for Trump or considering the possibility of voting for him. Kinard Givens, one of the voters being interviewed, said yes, noting that he has friends who felt more secure financially with Trump as president than Biden. "They’re like, ‘well, we’re broke with Biden. We weren’t with Trump,’" Givens told MSNBC. "And that’s kind of the only thing that I’m hearing over and over again." READ THE FULL STORY AT THE...

Noem accused of using border crisis to boost her chances of becoming VP

By Jenny Goldsberry | Colorado Springs Gazette The Oglala Sioux tribe has banished Gov. Kristi Noem (R-SD) from its reservation over her comments on the border, claiming she's using the border crisis to "increase her chances" of becoming vice president. The tribe's president, Frank Star Comes Out, sent a letter to the governor Friday following Noem's speech to the legislature on Jan. 31. While he made it clear the Oglala Sioux are neither a Republican tribe nor a Democratic one, he wrote the letter in defense of the "Indian people from such places as El Salvador, Guatemala, and Mexico" that are seeking a better life. "The truth of the matter is that Governor Noem wants the use of the so-called 'invasion' of the southern border as a Republican 'cr...

Biden team worried about next big embarrassment to hit president 

By Haisten Willis | Colorado Springs Gazette The Biden campaign fears that the results of a classified documents investigation could lead to embarrassing information, and possibly photos, that could damage President Joe Biden's reelection chances. Biden's aides believe special counsel Robert Hur's investigation won't lead to any criminal charges, according to Axios, but unflattering details and photos could still lead to political damage. Former President Donald Trump is facing felony charges related to his handling of classified documents. Soon after his Mar-a-Lago home was raided in August 2022, Biden weighed in by asking aloud how "anyone could be that irresponsible." READ THE FULL STORY AT THE COLORADO SPRINGS GAZETTE

Trump leading Biden on economy by over 20 points despite positive trends: Poll

By Kaelan Deese | Colorado Springs Gazette President Joe Biden is trailing former President Donald Trump by more than 20 points on the issue of which candidate would better handle the economy, according to a new poll. The leading Republican front-runner, Trump, holds a 22-point lead over Biden on the question of which candidate would better handle the economy, with 55% picking Trump and 33% selecting Biden, according to an NBC News poll conducted Jan. 26-30. The dismal outlook for Biden comes despite his recent boasting that "jobs are growing," with more than 300,000 created just last month. When the same question was proposed to voters in October 2020, a month before Biden defeated Trump, the then-president held just a seven-point advantage over Bide...

In re-election rematch, Biden and Trump throw sharp jabs over the economy

By Naomi Lim | Colorado Springs Gazette President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump are posturing over the economy as they prepare for what is poised to be a 2020 general election do-over this November. Their endeavors to redefine their economic records and receive credit for a rosier outlook after the COVID-19 pandemic coincide with their appeals to working-class voters and the unions that represent some of them, with the demographic underpinning their respective 2016 and 2020 wins in states such as Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. In his pivot toward the campaign, Biden has underscored positive economic data, including Friday's strong jobs report, last week's reports that the economy expanded by 3.1% during t...

Doug Bruce, author of TABOR, will seek GOP nomination in Colorado’s 5th Congressional District

By Ernest Luning | Colorado Politics Doug Bruce, the author of Colorado's Taxpayer's Bill of Rights, is considering joining the Republican primary for the 5th Congressional District seat held by retiring U.S. Rep. Doug Lamborn. "I am strongly leaning toward becoming a candidate," Bruce, a former state lawmaker from Colorado Springs and El Paso County commissioner, told Colorado Politics. The anti-tax advocate said he plans to decide within weeks whether to jump in a primary field that has swelled since Lamborn's surprising announcement last month that he would not seek a 10th term in Congress. "I think if I ran, I would be the best candidate," Bruce said. "I was a big fan of Doug Lamborn, and I think one Doug deserves another." READ THE FULL STORY AT COLORADO POLITICS

Haley takes the gloves off with Trump, but is it ‘too little, too late’?

By Christian Datoc | Colorado Springs Gazette COLUMBIA, SOUTH CAROLINA — Nikki Haley has a message for former President Donald Trump: "I'm not going anywhere." Haley, Trump's ambassador to the United Nations and the sole candidate standing in his way to a third straight Republican presidential nomination, is in the midst of a monthlong, all-or-nothing effort to win the primary in her home state of South Carolina. And she's finally taking pointed shots at Trump's age, character, and overall fitness for office along the way. Haley spent the early months of her campaign focusing attacks on Trump for ballooning the national debt while in office. However, since coming in second place in New Hampshire, she has pulled a page out of President Joe Biden's own playb...
