Chuck Rosson Hillary Clinton refused to rule out a 2020 presidential run Monday, and said she is “under enormous pressure” to do so. “As I say, never, never, never say never,” Clinton said in an interview with BBC Radio 5 when she was asked about a future presidential bid. Clinton’s remarks will no doubt fuel…
Chris White Sen. Bernie Sanders is marking out a different position on billionaire Michael Bloomberg’s decision to jump in the White House race than that of Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez. “You’re not going to buy this election,” the Vermont senator said Saturday during a climate summit in Des Moines, Iowa. Sanders, who is running for…
Senator Kamala Harris from California is one of the Democratic authoritarians running for president. In his recent essay “Kamala Harris and the Cult of the Presidency,” Tyler Curtis documents alarming executive actions Harris promises to take if elected president.

Guess who’s back, back again? Tulsi’s back, tell a friend. That’s right. After being excluded from the September debate for failing to meet the DNC’s dubious polling requirements, Hawaii Representative Tulsi Gabbard will rejoin the Democratic primary debate stage in October.

Mary Margaret Olohan Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang proposed Thursday that “we give Americans 100 democracy dollars” to give to their preferred candidates. The entrepreneur and 2020 White House candidate outlined a plan intended to “wash out the lobbyist cash” saying, “that is the only way we will win.” “So, what is the answer? The answer is…
Peter Hasson The Democratic presidential debate Thursday night quickly turned personal, as candidates took turns hammering each other on their vulnerabilities. Joe Biden’s memory, Elizabeth Warren’s expensive plans, and Bernie Sanders’s socialism all turned into political footballs over the course of the debate. Andrew Yang’s proposal in his opening statement to give 10 Americans $12,000 each drew…
Andrew Yang, presidential hopeful, is unusually articulate about work, changed economic conditions, and the failures of existing welfare. He is garnering an unusual amount of support among the candidates. My theory why he is trending is that he is changing the subject from climate apocalypticism, class warfare, and resentment-filled group hatreds to something else entirely….
