Americans are more likely to see Harris' gender as a hurdle than they were for Clinton: AP-NORC poll

Americans are more likely to believe that being a woman will hurt Kamala Harris’ chances in the November election, compared to eight years ago when Hillary Clinton was running. And they are more likely to believe that Donald Trump’s gender will help him. A new poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research indicates a shift in attitudes among U.S. adults in the time between the candidacies of the first and second female major-party nominees. The shift in attitudes is largely driven by Democrats — particularly Democratic men. Americans are also more likely to see Trump’s gender as something that will help his chances of being elected.

Launchpad Strategies has received $15 million from the Trump campaign. What it's for isn't clear

Launchpad Strategies, incorporated less than a year ago, has received $15 million from Donald Trump’s election fundraising machine. Campaign finance experts say it was built for anonymity and is the latest example of how the Trump campaign has used secretive businesses to obscure its spending from the public. An Associated Press review of Federal Election Commission records shows that over $876 million moved through Trump’s campaigns and pro-Trump fundraising committees over the past nine years to six limited liability companies, including Launchpad Strategies. While other campaigns have relied on vendors with hazy origins, Trump’s operation has set its “own standard in terms of doing it far more than anyone else,” says Saurav Ghosh of the nonpartisan Campaign Legal Center.

Appeals court seems open to altering Trump's 'troubling' civil fraud penalty

A New York appeals court panel appeared receptive Thursday to potentially overturning or reducing a civil fraud judgment that stands to cost Donald Trump nearly $500 million. One judge called the former president’s penalty “troubling” and wondered if the state’s policing of private business transactions amounted to “deterrence” or “mission creep.” A five-judge panel in the state’s intermediate appeals court in Manhattan quizzed lawyers representing Trump and the New York attorney general’s office during oral arguments in the Republican presidential nominee’s fight to get the Feb. 16 verdict reversed. Three of the five appellate court judges who heard the case Thursday must agree in order to alter the trial's outcome.

1488 is a combination of two popular #whitesupremacist #numeric #symbols. The first symbol is 14, which is shorthand for the "14 Words" slogan: "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children."

Harris makes scandal-plagued Republican the star of her campaign to win North Carolina

There’s an unlikely star in Kamala Harris’ fight to make history in North Carolina: Mark Robinson, the state’s scandal-plagued candidate for governor. As of this week, Robinson is featured in Harris volunteers’ conversations with voters on the phone and at the doorways. Democrats wave signs bearing his name at their press conferences. Billboard trucks circulate in key cities warning that he is “unhinged.” And Harris is running a statewide advertising campaign highlighting Robinson’s relationship with Donald Trump. No Democrat has carried this Southern state since former President Barack Obama in 2008. But polls now suggest the 2024 contest is razor-thin. Democrats are betting that the weight of Robinson's baggage can tip the scales in Harris' favor.
