Ja hun betalte jo til og med et 6-sifret beløp (USD) for å få rigget opp et studio til det, tror ikke det var en del av planen at hun skulle tape stemmer på det.

We Spoke With 13 Young Undecided Americans for Months. Here’s How They Voted. Most of them supported Joe Biden in 2020 or were too young to vote that year, but now they were unsure if they could trust Kamala Harris, stomach Donald Trump or feel any confidence that the candidates would deliver on their top concerns: the economy, illegal immigration, the war in the Middle East and American leadership writ large. “I can’t believe it, but I did end up voting for Donald Trump,” said Abigail, a 23-year-old Virginian who backed Mr. Biden last time. She felt Mr. Trump was a strong leader, liked his choice of JD Vance and felt Democrats made assumptions based on gender. Other former Biden voters took a pass on Ms. Harris because of the war in Gaza, a lack of policy specifics and skepticism that she could improve the economy and also because they liked Mr. Trump from his appearances on Joe Rogan’s podcast and elsewhere In the end, who did you vote for? What was the key moment that helped you make that decision? Chris, 24, Fla., white, law student, voted Trump in 2020: I voted for Kamala Harris. I’d been leaning that way, especially after the debate. And Jan. 6 was something I couldn’t look past. Mark, 24, Calif., Black, chef, voted Biden in 2020 I voted for Jill Stein. I came to that conclusion when Kamala said she wouldn’t do anything different from Joe Biden. It was also the war in Gaza and all the images I’ve seen. I couldn’t get over it. Pierce, 26, N.C., white, sales, didn't vote in 2020 I voted for Donald Trump. I decided after Kamala went on “Call Her Daddy.” Lillian, 27, Va., white, digital advertising, voted Trump in 2020 I voted for Trump and made that decision the same day the mainstream media was having a meltdown after the Madison Square Garden rally. I also saw an ad from Democrats about abortion misinformation that really made me upset. I said, “You know what? I’m going to vote for Trump. Everybody hates him. They’re lying about pregnancies. Let’s just do it.” Joseph, 24, S.C., white, high school teacher, voted Biden in 2020 I voted Trump. I made the decision after he appeared on “Joe Rogan.” He just seemed more normal than the other side. Jasper, 25, Calif., biracial, food service, voted Biden in 2020 I voted for Trump. It was after realizing that many Democrats only preferred Harris because of her rhetoric and not because of her policy. Angelo, 19, N.Y., Latino, college worker, didn’t vote in 2020 I wrote in Josh Shapiro. I wanted to vote for someone who represented my ideas and beliefs rather than voting for someone who is too extreme or a phony. Ayshah, 21, Iowa, South Asian, student, didn't vote in 2020 I ended up voting for Kamala Harris. I did not want to vote for a convicted felon. Abigail, 23, Va., white, graduate assistant, voted Biden in 2020 I can’t believe it, but I did end up voting for Donald Trump. I made that decision when I saw JD Vance’s interview with The New York Times. He is the future of the Republican Party. I’m more voting for Vance than I am for Trump. George, 21, Ga., white, student, didn't vote in 2020 I voted for Donald Trump. Like Abigail, I was really impressed with JD Vance, especially during the V.P. debate. Laura, 20, Md., white, legal intern, didn't vote in 2020 I wrote in Larry Hogan. I made that decision after I saw Harris doing a lot of entertainment interviews and not focusing on actual interviews with CNN or Fox News or reputable news sources. I couldn’t, in good faith, vote for Trump knowing that he was facing criminal charges. Jack, 22, N.Y., white, underwriter, voted Biden in 2020 I wrote in for Mike Bloomberg. I don’t like either top of the ticket. Also, The Joe Rogan interview was huge for me. Trump enthusiastically said yes to a three-hour, open, honest conversation with Joe Rogan, who was a former Bernie bro. I think it’s very telling about which candidate is authentic and which candidate is not. McLane, 25, D.C., white, legal field, wrote in Romney in 2020 I shocked myself and voted for Trump. No one tell my family. I was so impressed by JD Vance, the way he carried himself and how normal he appeared. I think I became radicalized on the men and women’s sports issue. The ad that said, “Kamala represents they/them. Trump represents you,” that was so compelling. While Trump is deranged, he represented normalcy somehow to me.

Ja, kommer nok til å ha på plass en fungerende/acting fra dag 1 for noen stillinger for å slippe å vente i lang tid på senatgodkjenninger. Nå har vel republikanerne i senatet sagt de skal gi 10 dager recess nesten umiddelbart etter 20. januar for å få gjennom raske godkjenninger, men er nok noen som må gjennom normale høringer også, tipper Gaetz blir en av disse.

Collins har allerede sagt at hun er mot, og det er nok fort et par andre også. Det er allerede flere navn på listen som kan møte motstand i senatet, og det kommer noen navn til, men de kommer ikke til å blokkere alle, kanskje en, maks to, da møter de alt for mye motstand. Men planen er vel å prøve å kjøre gjennom flest mulig pro-forma recess godkjennelser i januar/begynnelsen av februar så man unngår tidkrevende høringer. Er nok flere andre som er mer skremmende enn Gaetz. Han er også en av få republikanere som støtter Bidens Lina Khan i FTC, og legger forhåpentligvis inn et godt ord for at hun får fortsette.

Tho, dette har vel republikanerne sagt siden Reagans tid..

Trump expected to try to halt TikTok ban, allies say President-elect Donald Trump is expected to try to halt a potential U.S. ban of TikTok next year, after he promised on the campaign trail to save the popular social media app if he won, according to people familiar with his views on the matter. Bra.

Israel prepares Lebanon cease-fire plan as ‘gift’ to Trump, officials say A close aide to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told Donald Trump and Jared Kushner this week that Israel is rushing to advance a cease-fire deal in Lebanon, according to three current and former Israeli officials briefed on the meeting, with the aim of delivering an early foreign policy win to the president-elect. Kushner er fortsatt inne i bildet. Interesting.

Dette er omtrent like objektivt som nøklene til Lichtman.

Hva gjør målingene objektive?

Det er skummelt når man tror det er relevant hvordan en liten gjeng med akademikere bedømmer dagens president i forhold til hvordan Polk, Harrisoin, Coolidge & co var. ..men klart, i og med at Trump er den dårligste presidenten i amerikansk historie noensinne, så vil man jo også tro dette på sett og vis manifisierer seg i hvordan folket led under hans tid. Igjen. Ingen bryr seg hva historikerne mener.

Skal bli godt å snart bli kvitt nåværende pressesektretær. Hvem blir neste? Alina Habba? Scott Jennings? Blir uansett en upgrade.

Joda, men ikke sikkert "favoribility" alene er en bedre målestokk enn andre skalaer.

Ja hvis du synes favorability rankingen er treffende, så må du gjerne bruke den om du føler det. Bush var på på over 90%. Mellom Obama og Trump skilte det til tider bare noen få prosentpoeng. De er vel omtrent jevnegode som presidenter de da?

Trump, Biden pledge peaceful transition in Oval Office meeting: ‘Politics is tough’ “Congratulations, and I look forward to having a smooth transition,” Biden said. Egentlig ganske bizzaro at Biden & co skal tilrettelegge for en smud overgang til diktatur.

Ingen bryr seg om hvordan en gjeng med akademikere rangererer nåværende eller forrige presidenten. Om du skal se en fotballkamp, så er det ingen som bryr seg om hvordan sportshistorikere rangerer høyre midtstopper i forhold til de 40 foregående. Det er ingen som bryr om Magnus Carlsen er rangert foran eller etter Kasparov nå de ser et sjakkparti med han. Beklager. Ingen bryr seg om hvordan 100 historikere rangerer en levende president. Det er folket som avsier dommen. Det er de som bestemmer.

Trump og MAGA går på sitt første tap. Thune elected Senate majority leader

Ingen bryr seg om hvordan historikere rangerer Bush, Obama, Biden eller Trump.

Begge er populister.

California har nå talt opp ca 78% av stemmene.

Americans stock up on emergency birth control, abortion pills ahead of second Trump presidency “People are concerned that a Trump administration will place additional restrictions on abortion access, potentially even a full ban"
