NATIONAL POLITICS

It’s been five days since President Joe Biden passed the torch to Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 election, but her candidacy has quickly injected high-octane enthusiasm into the 2024 election. The volume seems especially loud in North Carolina, a state that Donald Trump cannot lose if he hopes to have a realistic path…

Vance wants to give parents more votes than people without children and has been outright hostile to those without kids as part of his worldview that involves using the power of the US government to promote higher birth rates.

During her first speech as the Democratic Party’s presumptive presidential nominee, Kamala Harris said she’d fight to make child care more affordable, pass paid family leave, and restore reproductive freedom.

Cooper may not be as well known as some of the other names on Kamala Harris’ list of choices, but he makes a lot of sense. To start: he is more popular in North Carolina than Donald Trump. 

Several NC Democrats endorsed Kamala Harris on Sunday, including all 168 of the state’s party delegates, Anderson Clayton, the chair of the North Carolina Democratic Party, said. 

From her time as a prosecutor to her term as vice president, Harris has been a strong advocate for reproductive rights and gun safety laws, pursued justice for victims of crime, and has sought to push back on growing right-wing extremism. 

During her time as vice president, Harris has helped pass laws that lowered healthcare costs, invested in childcare and housing, and advanced efforts to fight climate change. 

“Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year,” Biden said. “Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump. Let’s do this.”

The US Supreme Court has, shall we say, made news this year. Here’s an approachable explainer to some of their top rulings of the term, and how they impact clean air, workplace safety, health insurance, and the general quality of life for all Americans. 

Project 2025 has been so much in the news lately that former President Donald Trump had to respond to the right-wing policy proposals, which the Heritage Foundation put together.
