Just 20% of adults under 30 approve of Trump's job handling, while 75% disapprove This 20% approval among adults under 30 is a 30-point drop from February, when 50% of 18- to 29-year-olds approved of Trump and 42% disapproved Trump's net job approval has declined in all age groups since the start of his term, but no other age group has registered as big a change as adults under 30

If you want the briefest possible explanation of why Democrats lost the presidency and Congress in 2024, it was because swing voters cared a lot about inflation and the politicians running the country decided to talk about everything else. Yes, they had talking points about inflation, but they were mostly defensive (it wasn't as bad as it had been, it was due to circumstances beyond anyone's control, etc.). And they decided to try to force people to think instead about their issues, such as abortion rights and the threat Donald Trump posed to democracy. It didn't work.

And I'm not saying that to be nasty, but like he's a weird guy and some of the stuff that he does, just the way that he's always glazing himself and repeats himself. He's not right in the head. He continued: And I don't know if that's his psychology or if it's just his age, but there's something not right there and anyone who's been around him will tell you that.

The book would go on to allege that senior aides concealed signs of President Biden's deterioration during his reelection bid a claim that angered loyalists and electrified critics on both ends of the political spectrum. He and co-author Axios's Alex Thompson approached the project with urgency and discipline. Every meal was a source meal, Tapper said. We interviewed more than 200 people It was just nuts. Their deadline was brutal a first draft by January and publication by spring.

On a recent panel of progressive activists analyzing what went wrong in the 2024 election, the author, activist, and failed political candidate Qasim Rashid spoke with confidence about the way forward for the Democratic Party. The problem, he insisted, was not that Democrats had strayed too far from public opinion but that the party had grown too solicitous of it. "Saying the right thing timidly," he proclaimed, "is less effective than saying the wrong thing loudly."

These are Happy Days for the Liberal Democrats. A year ago in Bournemouth they had appeared to be caught in the spotlight of their own electoral success. Unsure quite where they would go next. At times the conference speeches had been almost apologetic. New MPs blinking as they were pushed on to the main stage, unknown even to themselves. Twelve months on there is a confidence to the party. Their 72 MPs have all settled quite comfortably into Westminster and rather enjoy the attention. They are bullish about the future. There are no worries about losing their seats at the next election. Rather they see 2024 as a springboard for a brighter future. Looking to take more seats off the Tories as well as taking chunks out of Labour in the red wall. Branding themselves the real opposition to Reform. A key player in any centre-left coalition.

"I love Pete," Harris writes in an excerpt obtained by The Atlantic. "I love working with Pete. He and his husband, Chasten, are friends. But we were already asking a lot of America: to accept a woman, a Black woman, a Black woman married to a Jewish man. Part of me wanted to say, Screw it, let's just do it. But knowing what was at stake, it was too big of a risk. And I think Pete also knew that-to our mutual sadness."

During the 2024 election season, he heard me rant about Trump's criminality, his horrible treatment of women and people of color, and his overall lack of morality. I was deeply disappointed to think he would still vote for Trump in 2024 and struggled with my feelings toward my dad, who's a decent man that I love so much. But who would vote for a nightmare of a human being like Trump?

This was an awful week. The jokes begin in the third entry, if you want to skip ahead, and they cover the very funny subject matter of the president's relationship with a deceased sex criminal. Then the gags really get going when we talk about the tensest state of affairs between Russia and NATO since the Cold War. Can't get enough? How about a conflict of interest at the Federal Reserve? Finally, everyone's comfort food: relitigating Democrats' calamitous performance in the 2024 election.

"NEVER FELT BETTER IN MY LIFE," Trump wrote Sunday on Truth Social in response to a post about his wellbeing.

HARRISON: Well, I am telling the truth. Tell me the power I have to pick? If I'm the DNC chair, what power do I have to pick? Like people said, well, you could have told Joe Biden to not run. Like seriously? CHARLEMAGNE: Yeah. CASEY: Yeah. CHARLEMAGNE: You could have said that. HARRISON: I could've and CASEY: Nobody was against it during that time. CHARLEMAGNE: You could have and should have.

Dana Bash expressed admiration for Senator Bernie Sanders during an interview, highlighting his popularity and vigor in the political landscape, especially regarding his ongoing Fighting Oligarchy tour.

There was a bunch of things that happened... the case with the bookkeeping error or the bookkeeping, whatever it was, the misdemeanor that they had charged him with 34 felonies for, which isn't even a felony. It's a misdemeanor... It should have been a campaign contribution.

In his comments at a New Jersey fundraiser, the former president told Democrats they need less whining and navel gazing. He is very scoldy these days, and he talked a lot about how people are not stepping up and doing their part.

Mark Cuban criticized the Democratic Party for focusing excessively on bashing Trump, stating they lack a compelling vision and connection to the lives of everyday Americans.

Paramount announced that it would pay President Donald Trump $16 million to settle his lawsuit against the company related to a 2024 interview with Kamala Harris.
