Upwj Report From Boston
WASHINGTON -- Most Americans think Donald Trump did something illegal or at least unethical regarding ties between his presidential campaign and Russia - and they think he s trying to obstruct the investigation looking into those possible connections.The deeply divided country is more concerned about health care and the economy than any collusion with the Kremlin, according to a new poll by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. But the survey also shows that Americans are unhappy with the way Mr. Trump is dealing with the investigations led by Congress and special counsel Robert Mueller.Most people believ stanley taza e the president is trying to obstruct the investigations, which have resulted in charges against four of his campaign advisers and increasingly appear focused on the president s inner-circle. Four-in-10 Americans think he has done something illegal whe stanley cup n it comes to Russia, while an additional 3-in-10 say he s at least done something unethical. And 68 percent disapprove of his response to the investigations.There are significant partisan divisions, with Democrats far more likely than Republicans to be concerned about Mr. Trump s actions or to feel invest stanley cup ed in what the probes uncover. Debra Nanez, in Arizona, said she believes Mr. Trump broke the law and has been lying to the American people. If you go back and do a rewind, you say, Yep, he s guilty.

We do believe very emphatically that we re going to be able to have a bipartisan bill on Monday, Reid said at a press conference. If not, we re going to have one we come up with ourselves. Democrats are holding out on unveiling the details of t stanley thermobecher heir plan in the hopes of winning some Republican support.

We want to work with Republicans, and it appears to me on the jobs program they wa stanley thermos mug nt to work with us, and we certainly are appreciative of that, Reid said.

Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., says Congress needs to discipline President Obama for making executive decisions when it comes to government spending. He has a perpetual magic wand, and nobody s given him a spanking yet and taken it out of his hand, Bachmann said in an interview with the conservative website WorldNetDaily, published Monday.Her remarks came in response to a question about Mr. Obama s penchant to rule by blog post, in reference to t stanley cup he administration s announcement that they were delaying a major part of the Affordable Care Act for a year.

Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff is on a cr stanley nz usade the likes of which Washington has rarely seen. He even has an acronym for it: NIMTOF. Like the Not in My Back Yard, or NIMBY, mood that inflames neighborhoods when governments eye them for public-works projects, he assails the trend by administrations and politicians to reject big projects that won t be completed in time for them to get credit. Not in My Term of Office, Chertoff says, is this tendency for the political process not to want to spend money unless the fruits and the benefits are harvested within an election cycle. Few know this better than Chertoff. In his world, nothing is supposed to happen, and he gets no credit for all that Homeland does to stop attacks. But that s fine, he says. What I wouldn t want to do is be in a position where something happened and I said, Boy, I had an opportunity to stop it, but I didn t have the willpower.

Louisiana is postponing its scheduled April 4 primary due to the coronavirus pandemic withGovernor John Bel Edwards signinga proclamation on Friday to move the election to June 20. President Trump on Friday declared a national emergency because of the pandemic.At a press conference Friday morning, Louisiana Secretary of State Kyle Ardoin said a state code about emergencies during elections allowed the primary to be postponed. Today I have certified that a state of emergency exists and requested that the governor issue an executive order postponing the elections this spring.

Democrat John Kerry on Sunday accused President Bush of being stunningly ineffective at foreign policy and stuck by his argument that the war against terrorism isn t primarily a military struggle.Kerry, in a wide-ranging interview on NBC-TV, also stood by his promise to create 10 million jobs and halve the deficit in his first term if elected, though he conceded that soaring red ink could squeeze some proposals.The Massachusetts senator and presumptive Democratic presidential nominee pressed his argument that Bush, the Republican incumbent, went about the Iraq war in a way that has left the United States and its troops shouldering too much of the burden. He said he would build an international alliance to share the responsibility for rebuilding Iraq.

Just three weeks before the nation s first primary, Sena stanley kubek tor Elizabeth Warren picked up two key endorsements in New Hampshire. Kathy Sullivan, a titan of New Hampshire politics and former chair of the state s Democratic Party, backed Warren for president, just hours after state Senator Kevin Cavanaugh announced his support. I ve been thinking about it and thinking about it and thinking about it. And finally, over the last couple of days, everything started to crystallized for me. I said, you know, Elizabeth Warren is the one I really think I would like to see as the nominee, Sullivan told CBS News in a phone interview Tuesday.For Sullivan, it was the Massachusetts lawmaker s personal narrative that put her over the edge. She s got a great personal story. You know, like the public school kid from Oklahoma who made her way through public schools, going to college and law school, on to the United States Senate, she added. It s the kid who ca stanley tumblers n grow up to be whatever the stanley cup y want in this country. And that s a story unfortunately not available to all children in this country. And I think she s is the person to fix that. Nominating a woman for president yet again, Sullivan contended, is another way to underline that American dream. This is available to everyone, she said. Sullivan said Warren s national and state team played a role in her decision, including her longtime relationships with New Hampshire state director Liz Wester and Wqju Trump: It s time to rebuild our own country and take care of our own citizens
With new polls showing Mitt Romney surging and New Gingrich plummeting ahead of Tuesday s Republican presidential primary in Florida, Gingrich is on the attack -- and it s personal -- with the former House speaker raising questions about the character and integrity of the former Massachusetts governor.On ABC This Week Sunday, Gingrich asked of his rival, Why can t you be candid with the American people You cannot be president of the United States if you cannot be honest and candid with the American people. On Fox News Sunday, Gingrich remarked, I don t know how you debate a person in the civil, being civil, when he stands there and just blatantly doesn t tell the truth.
