Welcome to Breitbart News’s live updates of 2016 election. Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton will finally face off one-on-one for the first time tonight at Hofstra University at tonight’s much-anticipated presidential debate. Stay tuned for pre-game, in-game, and post-game coverage.
Hillary Clinton will use a customized lectern at Monday’s debate to mitigate the glaring height difference with Donald Trump. New photos from inside the Hoftstra University debate hall show two lecterns — a short one and tall one raised internally with plywood. “Clinton is 5’4” and Trump 6’2” and her team wanted the podium modified or a box added for her to stand on so she won’t look short next to Donald Trump,” WABC radio host Rita Cosby emailed with snaps of the doctored podiums after getting a sneak peak inside the Hofstra University debate site. It was not stated which podium would
While white voters are Donald Trump´s stronghold, he´s not winning the country´s largest voting bloc by the same margins as his Republican predecessor, 2012 nominee Mitt Romney. Four years ago, the former Massachusetts governor received support from 59 percent of white voters, while President Obama, who won re-election, earned 39 percent, according to exit polls. Right now Trump is winning 50 percent support, according to the latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll, while Clinton stands at 39 percent, the same number as President Obama. Among the other two large voting blocs, blacks and Hispanics, Trump is actually performing better than
When Donald Trump began his improbable run for president 15 months ago, he offered his wealth and television celebrity as credentials, then slyly added a twist of fearmongering about Mexican “rapists” flooding across the Southern border. From that moment of combustion, it became clear that Mr. Trump’s views were matters of dangerous impulse and cynical pandering rather than thoughtful politics. Yet he has attracted throngs of Americans who ascribe higher purpose to him than he has demonstrated in a freewheeling campaign marked by bursts of false and outrageous allegations, personal insults, xenophobic nationalism, unapologetic sexism and positions that shift according to
First lady Michelle Obama and former President George W. Bush shared a warm hug on Saturday while attending a ceremony to commemorate the opening of the National Museum of African American History and Culture.President Barack Obama and former first lady Laura Bush also leaned into the embrace, and the two couples smiled in a moment of bipartisanship. Social media users took notice of the embrace, and the moment went viral on social media.
One day after endorsing Donald Trump for president, Texas U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz refused Saturday to say whether he thinks the Republican nominee is fit to lead the country. In an interview with the Texas Tribune’s Evan Smith, Cruz said he endorsed Trump because the November election is a binary choice between Hillary Clinton and Trump. The junior senator from Texas and unsuccessful presidential candidate said he is voting Trump because he worries Clinton would appoint liberal justices to the U.S. Supreme Court and do damage to the country. Smith asked: “Do you consider Donald Trump to be fit to be president?” Cruz

Liberty guard Brittany Boyd sat on the bench with her head bowed in prayer during the National Anthem before a WNBA playoff game. Hours earlier, college football players for Michigan and Michigan State, along with a group of students at North Carolina, raised their fists during the playing of "The Star-Spangled Banner" on Saturday. Since 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick refused to stand for the Anthem before NFL preseason games, citing racial injustice and police brutality, his movement has slowly spread across fields and courts in the U.S. On Saturday, college and professional athletes joined together to follow his lead after
DEMOCRAT HILLARY CLINTON and Republican Donald Trump will debate on national television for the first time Monday night, and the stakes could not be higher. The presidency and, by extension, the country’s future — maybe the world’s — could hinge on what they say and how they say it. Or so we have been told — in breathless pre-event speculation about everything from whether the moderator, NBC’s Lester Holt, will intervene to correct a candidate who strays from the truth, to whether one candidate or the other will be able to goad his or her opponent into a campaign-altering gaffe
That Barack Obama communicated in 2012—under a redacted pseudonym—with Hillary Clinton on the then secretary of State´s permeable home-brew email server and then claimed he did not know of that server´s existence until it was reported in the press in 2014 is far more than the usual politician´s prevarication. Since the fish rots from the top—and in this case it stinks to high heaven—the surfacing of this particular presidential lie calls to question the entire FBI inquiry into the Clinton server, an investigation whose credibility was paper thin in the first place and has now completely vanished. It´s time to
Since policing is a problem, the police should be removed from communities altogether, according to Black Lives Matter founder Alicia Garza. Garza argued that the United States gives too much respect to police officers, explaining that when police do wrong, a few bad cops are blamed, rather than a “corroded and corrupt system.” “Quite frankly, many of our [Black Lives Matter] members are continuing to investigate what it would mean to have police-free communities. I think what we’ve continued to see over time is that no moral appeal is actually stopping the deaths of black people, whether they be armed
Tomorrow night we’ll see the much-awaited matchup one-on-one “debate” between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. (Snip) Outside of the debate hall in Charlotte, North Carolina, another drama is taking place. Apparently "Black Lives Matters" needs a translation: To most of the rioters it means New Free Nikes Matter. As the first child in the family and the daughter of a small businessman who grew up in a working class community, I’m with John Schindler who tweeted this week, “Like Pier Pasolini, I am always on the side of the police, unless proven otherwise. Class matters. Order matters, Criminal filth does
