Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden, who has been repeatedly accosted by protesters on the campaign trail, is receiving U.S. Secret Service protection beginning this week.
In 2018, Florida voters passed a constitutional amendment that allowed most ex-felons to vote. Will they vote in Tuesday’s primary? One says, “I know how things work around here. I’m not voting, no way.”
In a debate, Joe Biden promised that “no one will be deported at all” during his first 100 days as president, and only felons would be deported after that. Bernie Sanders vowed to end ICE raids.
Congressional leaders have been notified that Joe Biden’s presidential campaign has requested protection from the Secret Service. The issue has been discussed since animal rights activists attempted to disrupt his Super Tuesday victory speech in Los Angeles.
President Donald Trump endorsed Tommy Tuberville for the U.S. Senate, likely killing the campaign of Jeff Sessions, the man he fired as Attorney General.
The voluntary survey mailed to prisoners by Slate and the Marshall Project found that blacks narrowly favored Joe Biden over Bernie Sanders.
Joe Biden made the statement to a construction worker in Michigan who charged that Biden wants to take away Americans’ guns. The dispute stemmed from a Biden video with former candidate Beto O’Rourke.
Presidential and vice-presidential candidates automatically receive Secret Service protection within 120 days of the general election under the law. But after Tuesday’s incident in Los Angeles, some observers wonder whether the protection should start earlier.
