Sitting at her kitchen table in Durham, N.C., a woman who goes by "S." lets out a deep sigh, recalling the first few days of the second Trump administration. Her husband holds her hand; in the background the kids' cartoons are blasting.

Both S. and her husband are immigrants without legal status in the U.S., which is why she's asked NPR to withhold her full name. Their two children are U.S. citizens.

Former President Donald Trump’s campaign has launched a new general election ad that falsely labels Vice President Kamala Harris the “border czar” and falsely suggests that 10 million people illegally crossed the southern border on her watch and are still “here.”

President Joe Biden‘s 2024 reelection campaign released a new ad on Monday aimed at damage control following the president’s poor debate performance last week.

Biden stumbled through much of his debate last Thursday with former President Donald Trump, igniting a panic among national Democrats. The president huddled with his family at Camp David over the weekend but plans to stay in the race despite calls from pundits and party officials for him to make way for a younger nominee.

The campaign texts with eye-roll inducing openers like “NOT ASKING FOR $” or “The 600% MATCH won’t last forever” are flooding all of our phones these days. 

Jim Laws, a 70-year-old retired anesthetist in West Palm Beach, Fla., received a text in early June with a link to a survey about the state of the nation. The message said the sender wasn’t asking for money.

Biden campaign advisers say they are planning to use in political ads the guilty verdict in the recent case brought against former President Donald Trump by Democrat Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, in a move that should shock no one.

According to Politico, Biden advisers are aiming to keep “Trump’s felony conviction top-of-mind for voters who haven’t yet fully tuned into the election.”

President Biden’s re-election campaign had $71 million on hand at the end of February, more than double the $33.5 million in former President Donald J. Trump’s campaign account, as Democrats continued to expand their fund-raising advantage over Republicans in the presidential race.

The cash disparity was detailed in filings with the Federal Election Commission on Wednesday, when campaigns and some presidential committees had a deadline to file fund-raising and spending reports for February.

President Biden’s reelection campaign is pouncing on former President Trump’s fundraising numbers, dubbing its political rival “Broke Don” on Thursday.

“Not a Winning Campaign: Broke Don Hides in Basement,” the campaign wrote in an email. “Trump can’t raise money, isn’t campaigning, and is letting convicts and conspiracy theorists run his campaign.”

Election filings made public Wednesday showed Trump’s 2024 campaign brought in $10.9 million last month, while his joint fundraising committee raised nearly $11 million. It has about $42 million in cash on hand. 

Former President Donald Trump significantly trails President Biden in the crucial dash for campaign cash, but he is hoping to level the playing field with the formation of a joint fundraising committee with the Republican National Committee (RNC).

The committee, titled the Trump National Committee JFC, filed a statement of organization on Wednesday with the Federal Elections Commission.

A TV ad from a super PAC backing Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in the Republican presidential primary uses out-of-context quotes from Nikki Haley to misleadingly claim that Hillary Clinton, the former Democratic presidential nominee, is Haley’s “role model.”
