Trump's new election announcement leads to severe condemnation – Midterms live | American News

In southern Utah, a large population of Native Americans is under arbitrary punishments that have been blocking political power for decades. They hope things will change this year, reports Jeremy Miller of Oljato, Utah.

The history of deprivation of rights cast a long shadow over the Navajo nation, a nation they hope to win in the elections.

Today, Native Americans, who are very Democrat, make up a slight majority in San Juan County, which includes this part of Utah. But for decades, they have been "wrapped up" by Republican authorities in a single district in the far south of the county, echoing other partisan efforts of gerrymandering across the United States.

In 2016, a federal judge ruled that San Juan County had violated the 1965 voting rights law by illegally luring contorted polling districts to deprive US voters of their rights. In a follow-up decision last December, the judge released newly established district maps that give Navajos a population-based majority in two of the commission's three districts. If the Navajo candidates win it next week, it could reshape the region.

The inequitable draw of electoral districts means that the Navajo have never won a majority in the school board or county commission. This year, the mid-term poll in San Juan County includes two Navajo candidates for the position of county commissioner. And James Courage Singer, the first Navajo to run for Congress in Utah, is vying to represent the third district of Utah House.

The court order was followed by a court order requiring that postal ballots be distributed in the Navajo language and in English. The settlement also requires San Juan County to open three satellite polling stations, each staffed by a Navajo translator.

Senator Joe Manchin in West Virginia is five points ahead of his Republican rival, according to a new poll.

The poll by MetroNews and the Dominion Post indicates that 45% of voters support Manchin and 40% of its opponent Patrick Morrisey.

Manchin is a conservative Democrat who could be vulnerable in a state backing Trump, but he has retained a lead in the polls and could be helped with more conservative voters by being the only Democrat to vote to confirm the judge's Supreme Court Brett Kavanaugh.

An alarming report recently warned the world only has a dozen years to avert catastrophic climate change, but Democrats do not make this issue a campaign priority.

Democrats do not intend to tackle climate change if they take control of Congress, says Guardian's Emily Holden.

They can have their hands full simply to maintain the status quo, while Donald Trump is pursuing an environmental retreat after the other. Democrats are planning hearings on these backtracks if they win.

Party efforts as currently planned will not be enough to stimulate rapid transformation In the way society operates, the most prominent scientists believe that it is necessary to preserve humanity from the worst conditions of rising temperatures, extreme weather conditions and societal and economic upheavals.

But few party members – or mainstream environmental groups who traditionally support it – are willing to admit it outright.

"Clearly, there is a clear need for government to respond to climate based on what we see in science. We have about 10 years left to really do something, but it's hard [for us] to do because the Republican party largely refuses this refusal, "said MP John Delaney, a Democrat from Maryland.

The governor of New York, Andrew Cuomo, escapes a debate Thursday night with his opponents, provoking the lighthouse of the League of Women Voters.

After many shots, Cuomo, who is strongly favored for his reelection, accepted a debate against Republican Marc Molinaro who held in New York.

But he will not attend a debate sponsored by the League of Women Voters in Albany, which features Molinaro as well as three candidates from smaller parties, the Albany Times Union reported.

"We are extremely frustrated by the fact that the governor does not think that a fair and non-partisan debate is an appropriate place to speak directly to voters," the group said in a statement. "This debate is open to voters and open to the public. Five candidates will appear on the ballot next Tuesday. Voters have the right to hear all five candidates before choosing the next governor of New York State on polling day.

"If the governor really wants to talk to voters, he should have made it a priority to attend the only debate of all candidates in the north of the state."

Despite widespread anger over Donald Trump's anti-immigrant politics and rhetoric, it seems Latin American Democrats are struggling to convince Latin American voters to go to the polls, Guardian's Amanda Holpuch reported. and Tom Dart.

"The biggest misconception is that Latinos are monolithic and that they are only one and the same elector and that, if a significant problem concerns the immigration of one side or of the other, that's what will matter to Latinos, "said Stella Rouse, Associate Professor of Government Politics at the University of Maryland.

Since 1996, less than half of eligible Latino voters have voted in the presidential elections.

Seven weeks before the mid-term elections, six of the Latinos polled at the national level said they had not been contacted by a candidate or political party to register, which would allow them to vote, according to the firm. Latino Decisions poll. "They're not just going out because they're angry," Rouse said.

Guardian's Ed Pilkington spent a week traveling the country covering Donald Trump's political rallies. He writes:

Donald Trump does not understand without understanding his exchanges.

They are the crucible of the Trump revolution, the laboratory where he turns his alternative reality into a potion for sale to his followers. It is during his gatherings that his radical reimagination of the American constitution takes shape: not "We the people" but "We my people".

As the United States rebels against an armed man who killed 11 Jewish worshipers in a Pittsburgh synagogue, pipe bombs are sent to 14 of the US president's main opponents, and Trump declares himself a nationalist and sends thousands of soldiers to the US border to attack unarmed asylum seekers; the most powerful person on the planet continues to rely on his gatherings to boil his passions.

And that's not all. Trump is using them as a test for his bid for reelection in 2020.

That's why I've traveled the country from Montana and Wisconsin to north Texas to the south, from Arizona to the west to North Carolina to the east. , to watch the president address his message to his people.

Unions and other progressive groups have published a central announcement in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, calling on Pennsylvanians to "vote against anti-Semitism," Politico reports.

See the advertisement here. This comes days after the killing of 11 people by an antisemitic gunman at Pittsburgh's Tree of Life synagogue.

The advertisement describes the massacre as "a direct result of the rhetoric that demonizes Jews and celebrates political violence," citing a number of Republican comments that the authors consider to be anti-Semitic tropes.

"Anti-Semitism today is not always as obvious as the social media publications of the shooter of the Congregation of Tree of Life, but it is endemic and it has been adopted by President Donald Trump and other people occupying influential positions in our country, "says the advertisement.

What is the biggest problem in mid-race races? For many Democrats, it's health, says Chris McGreal of the Guardian of Kansas City, Missouri. Republicans, meanwhile, point to illegal immigration:

While Republicans once thought that the attacks on Barack Obama's health reforms were a good way to fuel their political campaigns, they now find themselves on the defensive in key seats. Congressional candidates, state governor and local offices hurt their opponents of the GOP by attacking their voting records when they oppose Obamacare, saying they threaten the protection offered by the law, especially for people suffering from pre-existing disorders.

Republican attempts to turn the debate into fears about illegal immigration, which polls say is the most widespread concern among party voters, were reinforced during the last week of the campaign. mid-term by sending thousands of soldiers by Donald Trump to the Mexican border, apparently to protect him from a caravan of Central American migrants a few weeks away and his threat of unilaterally overturning the right to citizenship for all born in the United States, which is probably contrary to the Constitution.

A poll conducted this month by the Pew Research Center places illegal immigration at the top of the national problems of Republican voters, although that does not mean that it's about the postman factor. more important to decide who to vote for. At the same time, addiction ranked second and more than half of Republicans rated health care affordability as one of the country's major problems.

Another survey, conducted by the Kaiser Family Foundation, found that immigration was the biggest problem among only 25 percent of Republicans in terms of how they voted. Among all voters, health care came first.
