In the latest episode of his podcast, Forward, Andrew Yang discusses the 2024 presidential race with US political commentator and former CNN news host Chris Cillizza. The two men talk about several things, including whether or not Joe Biden should run, but they also discuss the DNC, and what actions the party could take if Biden's nomination is contested. The Democratic National Committee was the subject of controversy in 2016 and 2020 for a variety of reasons. The most talked about controversy

Two years after the highly contested 2020 election, the controversy over the integrity of the process and the response to the election results is still on full display in our nation’s capital. A new proposed change to Electoral College law seeks to ease any concerns over the presidential elections process. Believe it or not, even though the Electoral College system is enshrined in the US Constitution, Congress did not have rules to deal with the chaos of contested election results until The El

The mood among Democrats these days seems to oscillate between panic and despair. The Biden administration, which billed itself as restoring competence and order to the political process, not only grievously botched the Afghanistan withdrawal and the removal of Haitian immigrants in Texas, but cannot even attain a semblance of order within its own party.

Tired of the restrictive grip of the two major parties making you jump through hoops to vote in critical primary elections or barring you from them entirely. It’s no secret that the major parties have been taking advantage of the way we engage with politics to guilt and scare us into their camp. But what you may not know is that 40% of Americans refuse t

Democrats, if they acted out of more than pique and the need to feed red meat to their base, hoped that the second impeachment would prevent Trump from running again, legally disqualifying him. Justice Roberts put the lie to that when he signaled that he would not preside because it was not, constitutionally speaking, an impeachment, as Trump was no longer in office. Moreover, if anything, the impeachment will keep Trump’s base engaged and in sympathy with their leader. It has become clear that

It has become clear that there is not even close to the 2/3 majority needed in the Senate to vote to convict. While the House vote to impeach helped the Democrats shape the post capitol incursion, post inaugural narrative, it has left the Democratic leadership “all dressed up...

Inocente Izucar is having a Zoom-era moment. On Dec. 9, 2020, she’ll participate in a rare, free screening of an Oscar-winning documentary. The virtual event will re-introduce viewers to the childhood of a wispy, face-painting, homeless artist with an old soul and a trove of talent. Does her name sound familiar? Inocente’s first big spotlight moment came in 2013. Actor Jamie Fox clapped as co-presenter Kerry Washington announced the Academy Award winner for Best Documentary Short was…“Inocente

Headlines publish every day about record turnout and absentee ballot requests across the country. Already, turnout in the 2020 election is expected to far surpass 2016's turnout even as the nation continues to deal with the COVID-19 crisis. What this means for the election two weeks out is difficult to say. National polls suggest a huge lead for Biden, but if 2016 taught the country anything, it is that the polls can miss key blocs of voters that can change election dynamics. With that in min
