WASHINGTON (Gray DC) – It’s not every day that people check their spam folders – but it could be the destination for dozens of campaign emails intended for your inbox. A North Carolina State University study found that Google has been sending 68 percent of Republican campaign emails to spam – while just 8 percent of Democratic ones met the same fate. Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.) is introducing a bill called the “Political BIAS Email Act” that would ban big tech from filtering campaign emails

KETTERING, Ohio — Barbara McGlone is supporting Senate candidate Josh Mandel all the way, even if her favorite Republican, Donald Trump, is backing Mandel’s opponent, the conservative commentator J.D. Vance. “I don’t trust J.D. Vance. At all,” McGlone said, sitting in the back of the Victory Christian Church’s break room Thursday, after a campaign stop by Mandel and retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn. “I know Josh. I voted for him when he became [state] treasurer. And I know all the… Source link

Democrats are promising to keep tabs during the 2022 campaign on Republican lawmakers praising projects funded by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law even though they voted against it.

Kay Granger (R-TX), Rep. Ashley Hinson (R-IA), Rep. Michelle Steel (R-CA) and Rep. Andy Harris (R-MD) have all touted… Source link

Is President Biden a socialist? Do socialists control him? Republicans will try to convince voters the answer to both questions is yes, according to Biden’s political archenemy. In a recent interview with Yahoo Finance, former President Donald Trump hinted at the script Republicans will use against Biden and his fellow Democrats in the 2022 midterm elections. When voters elected Biden president last year, it “was not a mandate to change the norms of our society,” Trump said. “This was not… Source link

As the House of Representatives prepares to vote Thursday on the bipartisan infrastructure deal, many House Republicans who have lined up against it argue that the bill is not about infrastructure at all. “I’ve got serious reservations about the fact that, depending on whose numbers you believe, only 10% to 20% of that $1.1 trillion truly goes to infrastructure,” Rep. Buddy Carter (R., Ga.) told Yahoo Finance last week. The language echoes an argument from former President Donald Trump…. Source link

Congress is running out of time to resolve the government debt showdown and risks defaulting on its debt.  U.S. House of Representatives Democrats passed a measure earlier this week to fund the government through early December and suspend the nation’s debt limit through December 2022, but the proposal faces an uphill battle in the Senate, where GOP lawmakers have vowed to block it. Republicans feel it is the Democrats responsibility to raise the debt ceiling alone using budget… Source link

Rising worries about crime among both Democrats and Republicans are starting to create a drag on President Biden’s approval rating, according to a new Yahoo News/YouGov poll — and could signal larger challenges for the president’s party ahead of the 2022 midterm elections. The survey of 1,592 U.S. adults, which was conducted from June 22 to 24, found that a significant majority (55 percent) now describe “violent crime” as a “very big problem” in the United States — far more… Source link

By a vote of 54-35, the Senate on Friday blocked a bipartisan proposal to create an independent inquiry into what led a violent mob of Trump supporters to storm the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, temporarily halting the certification of the 2020 presidential election. Passage of the measure required 60 votes, but just six Republicans joined Democrats to vote in favor of the measure, which was passed in the House last week. “Donald Trump’s big lie has now fully enveloped the Republican Party,” Senate… Source link
