VP Debate: CT Native Moderator's Exchange With Sen. Vance Goes Viral
The vice presidential debate Tuesday night, Oct. 1, lacked the explosive hallmarks of this election cycle's presidential forums. There was no yelling, cursing, or name-calling. The candidates even exchanged compliments at times. The most contentious moment of the night came from Sen. JD Vance and CBS moderator Margaret Brennan, a Stamford native. The exchange has since gone viral with Republicans up in arms over what they consider unfair treatment and Democrats applauding her.

Harris, Trump Come Out Swinging In Presidential Debate In Philadelphia
Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald J. Trump came out swinging at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia on Tuesday, Sept. 10 in their first and possibly only presidential debate before the Tuesday, Nov. 5 election. Harris made the first move by shaking Trump's hand on stage — in their first face-to-face encounter. Political observers noted how Harris "baited" the former president, prompting him to look increasingly angry. But Trump entered the "spin room" less than an hour after the debate, saying, "I think it was the best debate, personally, that I've ever …

New Poll: Undecided Voters At Stake In Presidential Debate, Why It Matters Here
The one and possibly only presidential debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald J. Trump is on Tuesday, Sept. 10 on ABC News from the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia. How Democrat Harris and Republican Trump perform from the City of Brotherly Love could be critical to how about 15 percent of undecided voters in Pennsylvania feel about their choice — assuming they watch or later hear about the debate, a political expert said. Early voting begins in Pennsylvania on Monday, Sept. 16 and Election Day is just eight weeks away. The Keystone State i…

He said he would remain on the ballot in states already assured to either Trump or Vice President Kamala …

'Sounds Like A Rejected Comedy Sketch': Internet Reacts To RFK Jr. Dumping Bear In Central Park
In an election cycle filled with ridiculous news stories with more dangerously sharp twists than an unregulated carnival rollercoaster, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. dropped one of the weirdest news stories of this year on Monday, Aug. 5.

The closely-watched Democratic race between Westchester County Executive George Latimer and incumbent Rep. Jamaal Bowman for New York's 16th District seat is about to come to a close as the most expensive congressional primary in history, according to reports.
