Second Impeachment Trial Begins Feb 10, 2021

Even an emotional prosecution and a mess of a defense may not change the Senate math. But while so many of the facts around the second impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump are settled, a key question is emerging that could matter beyond final votes on conviction. For all that is established about what rioters did, why they did it and even what Trump said to seemingly encourage them, what the then-president did in the hours that the attack was ongoing is a key piece of the case being assembled by House managers.

Creating Doubt Nov 11, 2020

To rekindle an infamous discussion, taking President Donald Trump literally at this precarious moment means the president believes the election was rigged against him; that he believes he received more lawful votes than his opponent; that he believes the vote count in a series of battleground states is flawed and corrupt; and that there are election officials and state and federal judges that are ready to deliver him a second term. Taking him seriously at this moment ... might be even scarier. Guest: Martha Raddatz, ABC News Chief Global Affairs Correspondent Learn more about your ad choices. Visit

Candidates Make Their Closing Arguments Oct 23, 2020

The second and final debate was a study in contrasts from the first. One thing that didn't change, though, was President Donald Trump's attempts to make former Vice President Joe Biden out as a corrupt and incompetent extremist. The plays that worked against Hillary Clinton, and may have worked against Bernie Sanders, have shown few signs of effectiveness against Biden. Biden sought to bring the conversation back to bigger issues and called Trump "confused": "He thinks he's running against somebody else." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit

Trump vs. Fauci Oct 21, 2020

"He wants to listen to Dr. Fauci," President Donald Trump told a crowd in Arizona Monday afternoon, the mention of Dr. Anthony Fauci’s name drawing boos from the crowd. It takes head-spinning logic to cast Trump's feud with Fauci as a winning campaign message for an incumbent who is down in the polls. The campaign is continuing to air ads that feature Fauci -- out of context -- appearing to applaud the president's decisions on COVID-19, even while Trump calls him a "disaster" and his fellow health officials "idiots."

The White House press secretary’s job differs fundamentally from that of a spokesperson for a candidate or political party. The White House press secretary serves at the pleasure of a president but is also a public servant whose salary is paid by taxpayers.

Biden's Blowout Mar 11, 2020

The end is in sight for the Democratic primary campaign. The next move in this race belongs to Sen. Bernie Sanders, and him alone.
