Conveniently, Vance blames my people for their struggles and paints them as lazy while blaming his circumstances on his mother and her battle with addiction. He seems to believe that all his traumas should be attributed to a culture that is not even his.
Vance wants to give parents more votes than people without children and has been outright hostile to those without kids as part of his worldview that involves using the power of the US government to promote higher birth rates.
Cardinal & Pine spoke with North Carolina voters to get a better understanding of how and why women are excited about this seismic political moment since Biden endorsed Kamala Harris to be the Democratic nominee for president.
While serving as San Francisco’s district attorney, Harris became known for prosecuting domestic abusers. As attorney general of California, her office investigated and seized firearms from those who unlawfully possessed them. And as a US senator, she co-sponsored bills to ban assault weapons.
During her first speech as the Democratic Party’s presumptive presidential nominee, Kamala Harris said she’d fight to make child care more affordable, pass paid family leave, and restore reproductive freedom.
Election season is upon us, North Carolina, and before you can cast a ballot in one of the most consequential elections of our lifetime, you must first register to vote.
A slew of racist, sexist, and outright bizarre conspiracy theories flooded the internet after Joe Biden decided to end his campaign and endorsed Kamala Harris for president.
Harris has a longstanding history of advocating for reproductive rights, something she’s sure to highlight on the campaign trail as she seeks to paint a stark contrast between herself and former president Donald Trump.
Several NC Democrats endorsed Kamala Harris on Sunday, including all 168 of the state's party delegates, Anderson Clayton, the chair of the North Carolina Democratic Party, said.
From her time as a prosecutor to her term as vice president, Harris has been a strong advocate for reproductive rights and gun safety laws, pursued justice for victims of crime, and has sought to push back on growing right-wing extremism.
The state court judges will soon decide whether to overrule the will of the voters and hand Griffin an election he lost. Social media posts from 2020 show the judges praising Griffin and feature smiling photos of themselves standing next to him.
Judge Jefferson Griffin lost his race but is still trying to toss out 65,000 votes. At ‘Disenfranchised Disco’ on Friday night, North Carolinians proved that protecting democracy requires mobilization—both on and off the dance floor.
There have been several previous rulings in separate courts, both state and federal, but those dealt with procedural issues. On Friday, a state judge will hear the first arguments about the fundamental questions at hand.
The court ruled that Griffin improperly attempted to bypass a lower court when he petitioned the issue directly to them, and ordered the case sent to the Wake County Superior Court, which, by law, should have gotten first crack. And now, a case that has dragged well into the new year has no end in sight.
On the campaign trail, Donald Trump promised to immediately end inflation and to make gas, food, and healthcare more affordable for the middle class, but the image of Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, and Elon Musk standing front and center during the inauguration suggested the middle class might not be on his priority list.
