But she has surged ahead of the other contenders who are actually in the race — including Democratic Sens.

White House senior adviser Stephen Miller on Sunday strongly signaled that MORE will issue a veto if lawmakers approve a measure to block his emergency declaration to secure funding for a wall along the southern border. "Obviously the president is going to protect his national emergency declaration," Miller said on "Fox New Sunday." Asked whether that meant Trump was prepared to veto Congress, Miller reiterated that Trump is "going to protect his national emergency resolution, guaranteed."

MORE’s allies in the GOP and one of his top advisers defended on Sunday his decision to declare a national emergency to secure funding for his long-desired border wall, a move that triggered a flurry of lawsuits and bipartisan reservations. The White House, seeking to quell political and legal questions about the president's declaration, sent hard-line immigration advocate and senior adviser Stephen Miller to push the administration’s message in a rare Sunday show appearance. “This is a deep intellectual problem that is plaguing [Washington, D.C.], which is that we've

At least some Democratic congresswomen see a double standard at play in the accusations that 2020 presidential contender Sen. MORE (D-Minn.) is hard on her staff. “Women are not usually applauded for being tough. And then when you are…” said Rep. MORE (D-Calif.), trailing off. “But you know what, she's a big girl. She'll handle it. She'll do fine.”  Rep. 65 percent turnover rate among Trump’s senior-ranking advisers as of January.  “But somehow it's an issue for Ms.

Caddell was a Breitbart News contributor and regular guest on Breitbart’s SiriusXM radio programs. His willingness to challenge conventional political wisdom – combined with his decades of campaign experience – set him apart as a strategist who got things right when so many others got them wrong. This was strikingly obvious in 2016, when Caddell was the sole pollster to understand Donald Trump’s voters and the New York builder’s path to victory. Long before Trump threw his hat in the political ring, Caddell became famous for helping elect another outsider.

LAS VEGAS — Sure, she’s a Harvard professor emerita and US senator, but Elizabeth Warren wants voters to know something else about her: Back when she was a young mother, she potty-trained her 2-year-old in five days to score a spot in day care. As the 2020 Democratic primary shapes up, its leading women candidates — accomplished stateswomen, all — are drawing attention to another role they play: Mom. Senators Kirsten Gillibrand and Amy Klobuchar both talked about being mothers in the opening statements of their presidential bids.
