Donald Trump has named Ohio Senator J.D. Vance as his vice presidential running mate, bucking the wishes of Republican donors and the party establishment. Trump posted on Truth Social Monday afternoon that he was choosing Vance, saying that Vance “will be strongly focused on the people he fought so brilliantly for, the American Workers and Farmers in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio, Minnesota, and far beyond …”It’s an interesting pick, given the senator’s previous, quite vocal criticisms of Trump. Vance was only elected to the Senate in 2022, partially due to the fame of his bestselling book, Hillbilly Elegy, published in June...

The Republican National Convention That Changed the GOP

As dawn breaks on Lara Trump’s Republican National Convention, not every GOP lawmaker is feeling entirely confident in Donald Trump’s ability not to alienate voters. Before the assassination attempt against Trump Saturday, Raw Story asked several Republican lawmakers what they were hoping to get from the convention this week. In many ways, their milquetoast answers stood in sharp contrast to the chaotic candidate they’ve come to back. “Stability. Simple message. Lack of drama,” Representative Don Bacon told Raw Story.“You know, people want stability. They’re tired of chaos and the loud noises on both sides. So if our side and President...

Fearing “Chaos,” Republicans Dread Trump’s RNC Performance

A top Republican is blaming his divisive, hate-fueled speech at the Republican National Convention on a teleprompter loading error.Senator Ron Johnson told PBS NewsHour Monday night that he had intended to hop on the “unity convention” bandwagon in the aftermath of the attempted assassination on Donald Trump’s life. But instead, he read a version of the script that was practically the opposite, allegedly because of a teleprompter mishap. “That speech was written last week. They literally loaded the wrong speech,” Johnson told the news outlet. “I had taken that out. Instead I’d loaded about that we needed a somber moment...

Donald Trump shocked nobody on Monday when he announced J.D. Vance as his running mate. All signs had been pointing toward the Ohio senator in recent weeks, and it’s hardly surprising that he would choose a sycophant and relative neophyte to share the stage with at this week’s Republican convention. Yet the decision does in fact represent a serious departure for Trump, one that ought to raise more concerns about his plans for a potential second term as president.Trump has a singular obsession in life, and that’s to win—at all costs, by any means. If he has to cheat, like...

The Scary Message Trump Sent by Choosing J.D. Vance

A Fox News analyst said people would question why exactly Donald Trump had picked J.D. Vance as his running mate, considering his lack of experience and former status as a Never Trump Republican. Vance has talked his fair share of smack about the former president, saying Trump could be “America’s Hitler,” accused him of committing serial sexual assault, and calling him “one of USA’s most hated, villainous, douchey celebs.” But as Trump has amassed more power in the run-up to November, it seems that Vance has finally changed his tune. To many, though, it’s unclear why Trump would want to work...

Caitlin Tan wanted to breed her childhood horse, JP, because she’s been “amazing” — the type of animal any equestrian would be lucky to have once in a lifetime. Having access to coveted bloodlines increased the allure. Via the Miller Ranch, she could pair her 18-year-old mare with a stud descendent of Playboy’s Buck Fever.

There are legitimate questions to be had about President Joe Biden’s physical and mental ability to serve another four years in the White House, but at least one conservative lawmaker is pushing an unhinged conspiracy to explain the chief executive’s disastrous debate performance last month.Early Thursday, Colorado Representative Lauren Boebert rhetorically asked online, “I wonder what could have caused Joe Biden’s rapid physical and cognitive decline?” But her choice to include four additional photos of Biden getting vaccinations revealed the shallowness of her concern.Boebert has aggressively pushed the idea that Covid-19 vaccines are unsafe and dangerous, accusing door-to-door vaccinators at...

A dangerous drug that is being mixed into fentanyl is causing those who inject it to develop a rash of sores that resembles a case of flesh-eating bacteria. People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds. I recently mentioned this phenomenon to a fentanyl user who told me about the xylazine connection.

With an assassination attempt on Donald Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania on July 13, 2024, the U.S. experienced another violent episode in its increasingly polarized politics. Former President Trump, who’s about to formally become the GOP nominee for president in the 2024 election, survived the attempted assassination when, initial reports said, a bullet grazed his ear . But one rally attendee was killed , more spectators were injured and the suspected gunman is also dead. The Conversation’s politics editor, Naomi Schalit, spoke with University of Massachusetts, Lowell, scholar Arie Perliger after the event. Perliger offered insight from his study of political violence and assassinations. Given the stark political polarization in the U.S., Perliger said, “it’s not a surprise that eventually people engage in violence.”

‘One Inch from a Potential Civil War’? Trump Shooting a Close Call for American Democracy

When former President Donald Trump named Ohio Senator J.D. Vance as his vice presidential nominee on Monday, it was a projection of confidence. Vance, whose meteoric political rise began when he was elected to the Senate in 2022, is well known for his pugilistic defenses of Trump, his occasional embrace of populist rhetoric, and his conservative views on social issues. He is a firebrand with ties to right-leaning tech moguls—including Elon Musk and Peter Thiel—and a knack for defending the former president.Trump’s choice of Vance is not an entreaty to voters on the fence but a signal to all Americans,...
