President Biden has made it official announced that he is running for a second term in 2024. Among the first term achievements he touted were his actions to address climate change. There’s a good reason for that: Biden’s re-election may hinge on turnout among young voters who care passionately about the climate. But worryingly for Biden, a poll by Fossil Free Media and Data for Progress this spring showed a dramatic drop in approval for the president’s climate and energy policies, especially among independent voters and young people. The fallout followed Biden’s decision to endorse the Willow oil drilling project…

Those who are deeply involved “will spend much of their day reading and watching the news,” Krupnikov and Ryan write. “They will know the minute details about the political events of the day, which should not be confused with more general political knowledge.” Those most involved are much more likely to make their views known on social media and talk about politics. They also believe that “even the most minute political event can have a myriad of important consequences” and believe it is almost a moral failure not to pay attention to such events. “The Other Divide” argues that the…

WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) – Two congressional staffers are recovering after being attacked with a baseball bat in the office of US Representative Gerry Connolly on Monday. The assault is now part of a conversation about beefing up security at a time when political violence is rising dramatically. “Very shocking and I think it will take a long time to recover,” Connolly said. Connolly and his team are still reeling from the violent attack on their Virginia office. While investigators look for a motive, Connolly says lawmakers have other questions. “I think it exposes the vulnerability of a lot of district offices…

Washington CNN — Timothy Parlatore, a lawyer for Donald Trump who played a key role in the investigation into the Mar-a-Lago documents and once testified before a grand jury, is leaving the former president’s legal team, two people told CNN sources aware of the output. Parlatore’s departure became official on Tuesday, although it had been rumored for several weeks among the former president’s inner circle. The high-profile departure comes as special counsel Jack Smith appears to be in the final stretch of investigations into the possible mishandling of classified documents and efforts to obstruct the 2020 election. “It has been…

Comment on this storycomment Cherelle Parker, a former city councilor and state legislator, won Philadelphia’s Democratic mayoral primary, beating a field of nine in a competitive race that, until Tuesday, had no clear frontrunner. Parker would be the city’s first female mayor if she wins in November. During the run, she was portrayed as particularly tough on crime. Since 7 out of 10 Philadelphia voters are Democrats, Parker, 50, is very likely to win the general election in November, which would make her the 100th oldest in Philadelphia. Parker won the support of much of the black political establishment in…

Liberals are increasingly worried about what concessions President Biden might make in debt ceiling negotiations with Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.). While the party has largely unified behind the White House’s strategy in the talks, more Democrats are voicing concerns about what could be in store to keep the nation from breaching its debt “I’m concerned because the president, from time to time, has moved to the right, if you will, to embrace a so-called independent voter, and the American people want us to be bold and to stand firm,” he added. Jamaal Bowman (DN.Y.) told reporters Tuesday. “And to make…

Republicans are calling on Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) to reset his media strategy, arguing that a broader focus on traditional and traditional news organizations is needed to counter former President Donald Trump and define the 2024 race in the same terms as DeSantis. Florida’s governor has for years entrenched himself largely in the world of conservative media — Fox News, Newsmax and a host of friendly, right-wing outlets — though he often clashes with more mainstream organizations and journalists. But with Trump embarking on a more aggressive media campaign, even DeSantis’ allies say he may have to rethink and…
