      Las razones detrás de las visitas de Trump a Nuevo México y Virginia

      by

      Incluso si es improbable que el expresidente gane en estos estados, ofrecen la posibilidad de que nuevas audiencias aporten más votos republicanos al recuento popular.El jueves, el expresidente Donald Trump utilizó uno de sus últimos viajes antes de las elecciones para visitar Nuevo México, al tiempo que tiene un viaje de fin de semana programado para Virginia.Los dos estados han votado mayoritariamente por el candidato demócrata durante las últimas elecciones presidenciales. Entonces, ¿por qué Trump pasa tiempo allí?En un comunicado, Karoline Leavitt, una portavoz de Trump, dijo que el expresidente estaba “a la ofensiva en estados históricamente demócratas como Nuevo México y Virginia”, asegurando que Kamala Harris “sigue a la defensiva, destinando más recursos para captar el voto en las comunidades negras y enviando a Bill Clinton a Nuevo Hampshire”.Pero hay otras razones para las visitas.Algunos en el equipo de Trump creen que los dos estados representan oportunidades de repunte para el candidato republicano si hay un auge de la participación en todo el país para él. Así que no hay razón, en su opinión, para no invertir algo de tiempo allí. Especialmente en Nuevo México, existe la sensación de que el arco de apoyo que el equipo de Trump cree estar viendo en la votación anticipada y en las encuestas podría ayudarle en el recuento de votos en ese estado.El equipo de Trump ha estado trabajando para aumentar su apoyo en el recuento del voto popular y los mítines en lugares como California, Nueva York y Nueva Jersey han funcionado hacia ese objetivo. Estos nuevos mítines podrían hacer lo mismo.Considerando que sus actos son casi exclusivamente mítines a gran escala, Trump tiene un límite en la cantidad de veces que puede volver a visitar algunos de los estados más disputados. En Georgia, cientos de asistentes a uno de sus mítines empezaron a marcharse mucho antes de que este terminara.Nuevo México y Virginia son territorio nuevo, donde más gente probablemente no haya visto antes a Trump en un mitin. Eso ofrece al equipo de Trump la garantía de conseguir grandes multitudes. Y en una carrera nacionalizada, donde los mítines se emiten por televisión y son cubiertos por los medios locales, las imágenes lucen mejor. More

      Nicky Jam, estrella del reguetón, retira su apoyo a Trump

      by

      Otras destacadas celebridades puertorriqueñas —entre ellas Ricky Martin y Bad Bunny— han utilizado las redes sociales para condenar los comentarios del mitin y mostrar su apoyo a la vicepresidenta Kamala Harris.Nicky Jam, un músico puertorriqueño que anunció su apoyo al expresidente Donald Trump el mes pasado, retiró su respaldo apenas unos días después de que los comentarios racistas contra Puerto Rico y los latinos hechos por un orador en el mitin de Trump en el Madison Square Garden el domingo provocaron una oleada de indignación.La estrella del reguetón había estado al lado de Trump en un acto de campaña en Las Vegas en septiembre, cuando respaldó al expresidente. Antes de que Nicky Jam subiera al escenario, Trump elogió el aspecto del músico, creyendo al parecer que era una mujer. “¿Conocen a Nicky?”, preguntó al público. “Es muy atractiva. ¿Dónde está Nicky?”.Cuando Nicky Jam subió al escenario, Trump pareció estar un poco desconcertado.En un video publicado en las redes sociales el miércoles, Nicky Jam dijo que había apoyado a Trump porque creía que sería lo mejor para la economía.“Nunca en mi vida pensé que un mes después iba a venir un comediante a criticar a mi país”, dijo en el video.El distanciamiento de Nicky Jam con Trump refleja el daño que las declaraciones en el mitin del Madison Square Garden podrían infligir a los esfuerzos de la campaña de Trump por cortejar a los votantes latinos. Nicky Jam fue solo uno de los músicos negros y latinos que Trump ha presentado en los mítines de campaña en un esfuerzo por reclutar nuevos representantes que puedan influir en los hombres de color más jóvenes, un grupo demográfico importante en una contienda que podría decidirse por el más estrecho de los márgenes.Otras destacadas celebridades puertorriqueñas —entre ellas Jennifer Lopez, Ricky Martin y el fenómeno pop Bad Bunny— han utilizado las redes sociales para condenar los comentarios del mitin y mostrar su apoyo a la vicepresidenta Kamala Harris a sus decenas de millones de seguidores. Harris había anunciado un plan para traer oportunidades económicas a Puerto Rico horas antes del mitin en el Madison Square Garden.Chris Cameron cubre política para el Times, enfocándose en noticias de última hora y en la campaña de 2024.

      Mike Johnson’s Vow to Overhaul ACA Draws Attention to Unpopular Stance

      by

      Speaker Mike Johnson said Tuesday that Republicans would embark on a “massive reform” of the Affordable Care Act if former President Donald J. Trump is elected again, putting an unpopular policy position back in the spotlight just days before the election.“Health care reform’s going to be a big part of the agenda,” Mr. Johnson said, speaking at a campaign stop in Pennsylvania and describing what Republicans would do with their first 100 days in office if they are successful in keeping control of the House.“No Obamacare?” a voter called out.“No Obamacare,” Mr. Johnson responded. “The A.C.A. is so deeply ingrained, we need massive reform to make this work, and we’ve got a lot of ideas on how to do that.”Mr. Johnson added that there was a “docs caucus” made up of Republican physicians who serve in the House who have “a menu of options” they were reviewing, including a sweeping overhaul.“We want to take a blowtorch to the regulatory state,” Mr. Johnson said. His comments were first reported by NBC News.Mr. Trump’s campaign quickly disavowed the statement, which a spokeswoman said was “not President Trump’s policy position.” But it signaled that, should he win the presidency and Republicans take both houses of Congress, there would be major pressure from some corners of the party to make major changes to former President Barack Obama’s signature domestic policy achievement.We are having trouble retrieving the article content.Please enable JavaScript in your browser settings.Thank you for your patience while we verify access.

      Harris Tries to Distance Herself and Move On From Biden’s ‘Garbage’ Remark

      by

      Vice President Kamala Harris on Wednesday tried to separate herself from President Biden after he made muddled remarks that appeared to call supporters of former President Donald J. Trump “garbage.”“Let me be clear: I strongly disagree with any criticism of people based on who they vote for,” Ms. Harris told reporters as she prepared to board Air Force Two outside Washington, D.C., although she said Mr. Biden had “clarified his comments.”Ms. Harris has been pressed to distance herself more broadly from Mr. Biden, an unpopular incumbent who is also her boss, putting her in a difficult position. Her campaign has resisted having them appear together on the trail. Mr. Biden is seen as an undisciplined communicator, and his comments on Tuesday undercut a speech Ms. Harris delivered that same night in which she made unity a major theme.Her response on Wednesday — quickly pivoting to her campaign trail schedule and her plans for the economy — made it clear that she and her campaign would like to move on from Mr. Biden’s comments. The Trump campaign has made equally clear its intention to keep the remarks in the news cycle.On Sunday, Tony Hinchcliffe, a comedian and Trump supporter who spoke at the Trump rally in New York, had made a joke onstage that disparaged Puerto Rico as a “floating island of garbage.” Mr. Biden tried to denounce that racist language in a video call with Hispanic supporters on Tuesday night. But he garbled his words, saying: “The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters — his, his demonization of Latinos is unconscionable, and it’s un-American.”The White House and Mr. Biden later argued that he was describing the racist language as “garbage,” not Trump supporters.We are having trouble retrieving the article content.Please enable JavaScript in your browser settings.Thank you for your patience while we verify access.

      In Election’s Final Days, Dark Money and ‘Gray Money’ Fund Hidden Agendas

      by

      Big-money operatives are taking advantage of lax rules at the end of the campaign to hide the true source of their money until after the election is called — or for forever.The campaign literature that landed in Republican mailboxes in North Carolina this week was jarring. On one side was a sonogram image of a human fetus, with this message: “Her heart is beating. We all know it. Only the courageous few will protect her.” On the other side was a call to action: “You have the courage and the conviction to vote for Randall Terry.”But the mailer did not come from supporters of Mr. Terry, a third-party presidential candidate and longtime leader in the anti-abortion movement.Rather, the fine print showed it was the work of a nascent super PAC with the anodyne name of Civic Truth Action that was funded by millions of dollars in difficult-to-trace money linked to Democrats trying to elect Vice President Kamala Harris as the next president.The final days of a high-stakes election are often a time of political mischief. The message pushed by Civic Truth Action — purportedly to help Mr. Terry but aimed at siphoning votes from former President Donald J. Trump — may be among the most cynical. But it is far from unique. Across the country, supporters of Ms. Harris and Mr. Trump are taking advantage of a patchwork of lax laws that allow partisans to funnel millions of dollars through daisy chains of opaque entities into hard-hitting campaign tactics, all to try to sway the tiny slice of swing-state voters who could make the difference.Campaign operatives and donors have long deployed creative accounting to mask the flow of money into politics. But in the decade and a half since the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision paved the way for unlimited spending on political advertising, it has become particularly difficult to follow the big-money flow in the weeks before Election Day, despite the majority opinion’s assertions that “prompt disclosure” of political spending would enable voters “to make informed decisions.”“Now it’s sort of undeniable that the court was wrong with those predictions,” said Ian Vandewalker, a lawyer at the Brennan Center for Justice, a progressive nonprofit that works to reduce the influence of big money in politics. Mr. Vandewalker published an analysis this week of the increase in difficult-to-trace funding to super PACs. “The ability to hide funding for those types of things is attractive for people who want to engage in dirty tricks,” he said in an interview.We are having trouble retrieving the article content.Please enable JavaScript in your browser settings.Thank you for your patience while we verify access.

      Trump and His Allies Link Biden’s ‘Garbage’ Comment to 2016 ‘Deplorables’ Remark

      by

      Donald J. Trump and his allies are trying to recreate a moment that resonated deeply with his supporters in the 2016 campaign: when Hillary Clinton referred to Trump supporters as a “basket of deplorables.”On Tuesday, it was President Biden who provided the ammunition, appearing to call Trump supporters “garbage” while talking to Latino allies by video.“Just the other day, a speaker at his rally called Puerto Rico a ‘floating island of garbage,’” Mr. Biden said, adding, “The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters — his, his demonization of Latinos is unconscionable, and it’s un-American.” The White House insisted that what Mr. Biden had said was “his supporter’s demonization,” referring only to the comic who initially insulted Puerto Ricans with an offensive joke at Mr. Trump’s New York rally on Sunday.Mr. Trump’s allies insisted the meaning was clear.Within minutes of the clip of Mr. Biden’s remarks going viral on social media on Tuesday night, Senator Marco Rubio of Florida addressed Mr. Trump’s rally in Allentown, Pa., and informed the crowd of Mr. Biden’s statement.“I have breaking news for you, Mr. President — you may not have heard this,” Mr. Rubio told the audience after Mr. Trump had called him up to the stage and stood next to him. “Just moments ago, Joe Biden stated that our supporters are garbage — are garbage.”Mr. Rubio added, as the crowd booed and Mr. Trump shook his head: “He’s talking about the Border Patrol. He’s talking about nurses. He’s talking about teachers. He’s talking about everyday Americans who love their country and want to dream big again and support you, Mr. President.”We are having trouble retrieving the article content.Please enable JavaScript in your browser settings.Thank you for your patience while we verify access.
