Will there be a Donald Trump presidential library?

The coming presidency-in-exile
In January 2021, Donald Trump will assume the title of pretender, the first widely-recognized President of the United States in exile. It will not be pretty.

Georgia Secretary of State: Be better candidates if you want to win elections
Georgia’s two U.S. senators have a bone to pick with the state’s Secretary of State, Brad Raffensperger. See, last week, they ran for re-election in a rare double election (usually only one senate seat is up at a time, but Georgia had a vacancy in 2019 and needed to hold a special election) and, well, they didn’t win. They didn’t lose, either. Georgia requires its … Continue reading Georgia Secretary of State: Be better candidates if you want to win elections
