Conflict rules hardly the same for president, others

Posted on 12/01/16 by alexstevenson13

WASHINGTON (AP) — Rep. David McKinley has sold his West Virginia engineering and architecture firm, but it still bears his name — and that earned the Republican congressman a rebuke from the House Ethics Committee.

With Carrier trip, Trump embraces theater of the presidency

Posted on 12/01/16 by alexstevenson13

WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump knows how to make a moment. The president-elect is flying to Indiana on Thursday for an event with officials from Carrier Corp., which is keeping about 1,000 jobs in the U.S. instead of moving them to Mexico. In doing so, he’s showing an early deftness for the way the theater … Continue reading →

Posted on 12/01/16 by alexstevenson13

WASHINGTON (AP) — As commander in chief, Donald Trump will face politically fraught decisions about a nuclear arsenal in need of modernizing. Among the open questions: How much modernization is enough? Can the U.S. get by with fewer of these weapons? Is it time to take some off hair-trigger alert? Trump’s transition website says he … Continue reading →

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The first candidate-driven statewide recount of a presidential election in 16 years began Thursday in Wisconsin, a state that Donald Trump won by less than a percentage point over Hillary Clinton after polls long predicted a Clinton victory.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Nearly three weeks after Election Day, Michigan officials certified Monday that Donald Trump won the state by 10,704 votes out of nearly 4.8 million to claim all of its 16 electoral votes. There’s more wrangling to come, though, on the final vote count for this oh-so-contentious campaign. Jill Stein’s Green Party served … Continue reading →

WASHINGTON (AP) — After weeks of competing claims of fraud and intimidation on Election Day, few voters who headed to the polls Tuesday morning encountered such problems, though there were some reports of machine breakdowns and long lines. The run-up to the vote was fraught, with unsupported claims by Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump of … Continue reading →

GOP battles to limit losses, control House for 2 more years

WASHINGTON (AP) — Republicans seemed on track to secure two more years of House control in Tuesday’s elections but with erosion of their historic majority, leaving hard-line conservatives with added clout to vex party leaders. With Donald Trump rousing opposition in many suburban and ethnically diverse districts, Democrats were hoping to gain a dozen seats … Continue reading →

WASHINGTON (AP) — A polarized America went to the polls Tuesday to pick its 45th president, choosing to elect either Hillary Clinton as the first woman to be president or billionaire businessman Donald Trump, the final act of a long and rancorous campaign that upended U.S. politics. The winner will inherit an anxious nation, angry … Continue reading →

WASHINGTON (AP) — After all the sound, fury, fact, fallacy, bluster and blarney of the 2016 presidential campaign, there still are undecided voters out there. Really. And they’re not just people who’ve buried their heads in the sand. Some thoughtful people just do not know what to do with the choices they’ve been given, yet … Continue reading →

CLEVELAND (AP) — Hillary Clinton is pulling out the big guns for her final swing through the crucial battleground state of Ohio. Or at least the very, very tall ones.

WASHINGTON (AP) — FBI Director James Comey told Congress in a letter sent Sunday that a review of newly discovered Hillary Clinton emails has “not changed our conclusions” from earlier this year that she should not face charges.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Come Election Day, California could legalize pot. Its new U.S. senator will be black or Hispanic — a first for the state.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Liane Golightly has finally decided who she’ll vote for on Election Day. Hillary Clinton is not a choice the 30-year-old Republican would have predicted, nor one that excites her. But the former supporter of Ohio Gov. John Kasich says it’s the only choice she can make. “I kind of wish it were … Continue reading →
