Many of these voters backed Biden in 2020 but say their support of the president is not guaranteed in November.

CNN —Caitlin Clark’s last dance in the NCAA dominated conversation ahead of Sunday’s women’s national championship game. Could the Iowa star cap off her historic time in college basketball with the final and so-far elusive accolade: a national title? Staley celebrates winning her third national title. After a year in Syracuse, she transferred to South Carolina in 2021, playing back-up to Boston during the team’s 2022 national title run. South Carolina players credit Staley for helping their development on the court.

☆ Collusion vs. Stop the Steal

Donald Trump and Joe Biden Photo: morry gash/Agence France-Presse/Getty ImagesA recent column observed disconcertingly that election denial appears to have been a successful strategy for Donald Trump. Larry Kudlow , his former White House economic adviser, points out that many voters like Trump policies, which is true. How does “stop the steal” advance their cause? One might also ask how and why collusion continues to work for Democrats. My inbox is as revealing about collusion as it is about stop the steal, with some Democrats clinging to whatever they heard first, including the legend of the Moscow hotel room, long since debunked by the U.S. Justice Department.

☆ Biden trails Trump in 2024 US election's key states, polls show
▼ + stars: | 2023-11-06 | by ( Jarrett Renshaw | ) www.reuters.com time to read: +4 min

Trump, his party's frontrunner for the 2024 nomination as he seeks to regain the presidency, leads in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada and Pennsylvania, with Biden ahead in Wisconsin, Sunday's results showed. Biden defeated Trump in all six states in 2020, but Trump now leads by an average of 48% to 44% in those states, the polls showed. THE TAKEWhile polls assessing the national popular vote have consistently showed Biden and Trump in a close race, presidential elections typically are decided by the outcomes in a handful of so-called swing states. Biden's victories in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin - all swing states that Trump carried in 2016 - were instrumental in his 2020 victory. Biden likely would need to carry many of those states again to win re-election.
