Senior advisors to then-President Joe Biden reportedly urged him to hold a debate against President Donald Trump as early as possible in an attempt to highlight Biden’s "leadership" and Trump’s "weakness," according to a new book.

The book, "2024: How Trump Retook the White House and the Democrats Lost America," is set for release Tuesday and claims that Biden’s team dismissed concerns about his age during the 2024 election cycle.

The book, authored by Josh Dawsey of the Wall Street Journal, Tyler Pager of the New York Times and Isaac Arnsdorf...

The House Democrats' campaign arm on Monday announced it's going up with digital ads targeting GOP lawmakers over their support for the sweeping Republican-crafted domestic policy package.

The move comes three days after President Donald Trump signed into law what he and Republicans call the "big, beautiful bill."

The ads, backed by a modest buy, will target 35 Republican-controlled House districts that Democrats are trying to flip in next year's midterm elections, when the GOP will be defending their razor-thin majority in the chamber.

Democrats are assembling a new policy brain trust called Project 2029, an effort aimed at shaping the party’s long-term vision and regaining electoral strength.

But at a time when there’s widespread agreement that Democrats need fresh ideas and new voices, the inclusion of longtime party insiders — especially former President Joe Biden’s national security advisor Jake Sullivan — is raising eyebrows across the political spectrum.

"It's really disappointing to see the lack of self-awareness on Jake's part," said Brett Bruen, former director of global...

Democratic lawmakers say their voters are enraged at the lack of ability to counter President Donald Trump's agenda, with some saying they could resort to "violence," Axios reported Monday.

The outlet says it spoke to over two dozen House Democrats to measure the temperature of the Democratic base. What it found was red-hot anger and a burgeoning desire to circumvent the rule of law, where explanations that Democrats simply don't hold enough power in Washington fall on deaf ears.

"We've got people who are desperately wanting us to do something...

The Department of Homeland Security is moving to end temporary protection status (TPS) for Honduran and Nicaraguan migrants living in the U.S. today as the Trump administration continues to ramp up deportations across the country.

The decision to end TPS for the two nations comes weeks after DHS terminated the same status for Haiti and months after terminating TPS for Venezuelans. A federal judge has since blocked that termination amid an ongoing legal battle.

"Temporary Protected Status was designed to be just that—temporary," Homeland Security...
