THE FIX

Precisely why is a valid question, and there are a number of possibilities. But if it holds up, it could undercut a key Trump campaign strategy.

Georgia and Pennsylvania are emerging as the central battlegrounds, for now. A look at the electoral college math shows why.

Harris addressed her changed positions obliquely and walked a very fine line on trying to run as a “change” candidate.

North Carolina joins Michigan and Wisconsin in saying they can’t remove Kennedy’s name — and thickening the 2024 plot.

In fact, polls suggest Democrats might even be more “fired up” and “ready to go” vote for Vice President Kamala Harris.

The cemetery and some experts suggest it was; here’s what Trump did, and what the law says.

Trump has flouted the dividing line between politics and the military before. Even in that context, though, this is different.

The GOP is apoplectic that Biden’s liabilities on the border, the economy and the Afghanistan withdrawal aren’t hurting her more. It might be because strong majorities of Americans don’t think she played a central role.

Third-party and independent candidates are expected to get relatively small numbers of votes. But they’re likely to come at Vice President Kamala Harris’s expense.

Trump increasingly paints a hellscape of life under Kamala Harris. He did the same with Biden — saying many of the same things, in fact — and his predictions were flat wrong.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. insisted he can somehow still be elected president. Let’s count the holes in his reasoning.

Why Republicans’ efforts to ding Democratic VP nominee Tim Walz — efforts based on at least some legitimate material — have fallen flat.

Nicole Shanahan offered some surprisingly unvarnished comments that played into Democrats’ long-standing allegations.

Critics have called it a gimmick and even pandering. But if it’s a pander, it would appear to be an effective one.

A look at the Democratic presidential candidate’s hopes in North Carolina and Florida.

What we’ve learned about enthusiasm, running mates and down-ballot races in recent days.

Calls for more policy, less crowd-size talk and fewer insults have gone unheeded. Donald Trump has signaled he won’t change — or can’t.

Harris runs better than Biden on other issues, too — significantly outpacing the president and expanding Democrats’ edge on abortion.
