Kailey Krantz | Staff Writer Thanks to the disastrous presidential debate, our confidence in either candidate is waning fast. Voting for the 2024 presidential candidate has gotten more divisive. Last Friday, the highly anticipated debate between current President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump ended up being so cataclysmic that it left me with […]
Mia Petruccelli/Contributing Writer I still remember the moment I found out that Donald Trump won the election in 2016. Attentiveness to politics was fairly new to me since I had just recently turned 18. I was excited, exhilarated, yet overwhelmingly terrified. I engaged in conversations with my peers, read articles, watched debates and encouraged the […]
Robert Crohan/Staff Writer Well folks, we did it. Come January 21, 2021, Donald Trump will be president no more. It took the incredible dedication, sacrifice and hard work of countless forward-thinking Americans to spread the word of the dangers the president posed to our country and kick him to the curb. For this, I say […]
Hayley Serpa/Staff Writer On November 7th, after five days of intense vote counting and ricocheting nerves, most major national news outlets, including the Associated Press, called the presidential election for Democratic Party candidate Joe Biden. Yet even with the announcement, the presidential race is still far from over as tensions fly high. Close proximities with […]
Fernando Fernández/Staff Writer Ladies & gentlemen, habemus praesidens. Former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. has been elected the 46th President of the United States of America and Donald J. Trump has officially been made a one-term President. Seems like pretty good news for the Democrats, right? They have once again captured the presidency and […]
Sergey Podlesnykh/Staff Writer On Saturday morning we finally got a call in the tight 2020 Presidential race that made history; Joe Biden was announced the 46th President of the United States. However, the President-elect doesn’t take his oath until January 20 and the lame duck is already trying to legally challenge the election results. As […]
Robert Crohan/Staff Writer Two years ago, I was excited. Scratch that — I was giddy. Andrew Gillum, a likeable and humble progressive who was running for Florida governor, was riding off anti-Trump sentiment in the sunshine state. He was favored to win and his promises of overdue change in a poor and polluted state excited […]
Robert Crohan/Staff Writer As 2020 and the term of President Donald Trump draw to a close, let us look back and reflect. The famous electoral question “are you better off than you were four years ago?” is still relevant. Personally, I am not, and neither are most of the people I know. The numbers tell […]
Nathan Nayor/Contributing Writer It has been over two and a half years since the Parkland shooting, which sparked protests around the country pleading for regulations on guns that would prevent these tragedies; yet they ensue, and we have now had a year in which there have been more shootings than days in the year. With […]
Sergey Podlesnykh/Staff Writer The final Presidential debate was undoubtedly the strongest one. The first erratic face-off provided few answers, and the dueling town halls last week lacked a confrontational edge. Thursday night finally delivered a discussion that can be labeled as both “Presidential” and a “debate”. Here’s a few keynotes that might sway the voters […]
Sergey Podlesnykh/Staff Writer Much like the screaming of two siblings who won’t stop fighting, America had to separate incumbent President Donald Trump and Democratic contender Joe Biden in an attempt to hear both sides of the story. Unlike the first Presidential debate, the second reunion of the political candidates was cancelled after President Trump refused […]
Sergey Podlesnykh/Staff Writer The first presidential debate on Tuesday was anything but presidential. What is the main takeaway from ninety-five minutes of mutual insults, interruptions and utter frustration? Arguably, Joe Biden didn’t perform strong enough to clinch the victory, but he honestly didn’t have to. President Trump’s poor performance paved the way for Biden and […]
