US swing voters won't be able to find much appeal in a candidate who doubles down on conspiratorial thinking

Whether the Vice President convinced the few undecided voters left in America or not, it’s unlikely many switched to the former president

Two years after judges he appointed overturned the constitutional right to choice, the former US president is facing popular pushback

With just eight weeks to go, Trump needs to find some way of changing the current trajectory

The contrast between the dour mood emanating from the Republican ticket and the energetic, joyous Democrats may prove irresistible

Stepping out of the race and facing the crowd was something his opponent could never have done

If Harris were nervous about the outcome of November's election, she might have picked Josh Shapiro
