Peter Baker and Maggie Haberman, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 1 hour ago

Emily Flitter and Maddie McGarvey, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 2 hours ago
Portsmouth, Ohio, was facing hard times when our reporter spent a week
there leading up to Election Day 2016. She went back to find the town

I am trying to see this response as a religious revival.

archipelago of exaggerations finds himself facing a public skeptical of his

Jennifer Medina and Trip Gabriel, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 6 hours ago
In a different moment, a stricken leader might have rallied people behind
him. But President Trump’s health crisis is filtered through the partisan

The Busy Week When the President Met the Virus
Michael D. Shear, Maggie Haberman and Kenneth P. Vogel, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 20 hours ago
He disparaged masks, encouraged big campaign crowds and employed an
often-unreliable test to keep him safe. All the while it turned out the
virus was nearby.

What if Trump Can’t Run? Many Steps Are Clear, but Some Are Not
Nicholas Fandos and Nick Corasaniti, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 1 day ago
The Constitution says the vice president is next in line if the president

"The Constitution and the law are clearest in instances when a president
dies or must resign from office. The 25th Amendment states: “In case of
the removal of the president from office or of his death or resignation,
the vice president shall become president.”"
The office remains filled until a sucessor is sworn in.
