As they carve their turkeys this year, Republicans can be grateful for Donald Trump, mapmaker. He’s redrawn America’s political geography — not only winning back the White House for himself but pointing the way to victory for his party four years from now. Before Trump, the major industrial states touching the Great Lakes were out of Republicans’ reach. Only Ohio was winnable for the GOP, but…

Isaac Newton’s third law of motion famously states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction: If you push an object, for example, the object pushes back against you with equal force. It turns out this isn’t just a law of physics. It’s a law of politics. President-elect Donald Trump’s Cabinet picks thus far have run the gamut from traditional and well-established (Sen.…

The cast of Friday’s installment of MSNBC’s The ReidOut had a rather odd explanation for how the Republican Party has managed to win over working-class voters: racism towards former President Barack Obama. All host Joy Reid and author Christina Greer had to do was ignore that Donald Trump did better with all demographics and won in states that Obama also won.

In the end, Kamala Harris was the wrong candidate with the wrong message at the wrong time. President-elect Donald Trump won the greatest comeback in American political history – bigger than Richard Nixon’s 1968 victory – by surviving two assassination attempts, a media that was shamelessly in the tank for Harris and a majority of voters who appeared tired of being labeled “deplorables” and “…

It’s finally over, and the 2024 presidential campaign made history in at least one ignominious respect: Broadcast evening news coverage of the candidates was the most wildly imbalanced in history, favoring Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris over former Republican President Donald Trump by the greatest margin ever recorded.

Even after all of the votes have been cast, network correspondents present the results through the lens of their own biases — cheering when a Democrat wins, and snarling about imaginary dirty tricks when the voters back a Republican.

ABC’s Good Morning America not only continued to try and make fetch happen with scaring and shaming voters into voting for Vice President Harris instead of former President Trump with more fawning over former Trump chief of staff John Kelly’s tall tales about his former boss being a fascist and Adolf Hitler enthusiast, but also tried to dial up the gush for Harris “calling on her…

MRC President Brent Bozell and MRC Free Speech America Vice President Dan Schneider blasted key leaders of the Democratic Party for making a sharp left turn against Americans’ First Amendment freedoms. 

CNN NewsNight has become the network’s Thunderdome with far-left host Abby Phillip and two or three liberal panelists squaring off with one or two actual, right-of-center conservatives for an entire hour. Given the fact that actual conservatives (or at least not Harris Republicans) are often brought in, it makes for compelling television. Thursday night was the case with conservative…

PBS News Hour sought to answer the question on Friday of why Kamala Harris is struggling with male voters. Both New York Times columnist David Brooks and Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart agreed that it is important not to “downplay the role that sexism” plays here.

So, former President Barack Obama tells “the brothers” to vote for Vice President Kamala Harris because she’s a black woman -- and women have “been getting our backs this entire time.” Obama said: “My understanding, based on reports I’m getting from campaigns and communities, is that we have not yet seen the same kinds of energy and turnout in all quarters of our neighborhoods and communities…

Monday on his eponymous independent show, former CNN host Don Lemon lashed out at black and Latino men who’ve, at a minimum, shown an iciness toward Vice President Kamala Harris and an openness to former President Trump. This, Lemon argued, was due to consummation of a “center right or far right” media “ecosystem” of “digital, streaming podcasts” as well as “misogyny” and “sexism” “that they'…

On Morning Joe, Mika says it's an "understatement" to say it's "frustrating" that Kamala Harris is incapable of getting her message out. Elise Jordan suggests trying to convince persuadable Republicans that Kamala's not a "radical liberal," despite plentiful evidence, as seen in Trump ads, that she is precisely that.

MSNBC must be scared because on Thursday’s edition of All In With Chris Hayes, gone were the gleeful proclamations about a “vibe election,” and in their place was the traditional coping mechanism that says the reason why a Democrat isn't popular is because of racism and sexism.
