Biden campaign: Trump ‘parroted Adolf Hitler’ in remarks targeting immigrants

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:27:43 GMT

The Biden campaign fiercely denounced Donald Trump following his caustic remarks aimed at immigrants Saturday, saying the former president “parroted Hitler.”“Tonight Donald Trump channeled his role models as he parroted Adolf Hitler, praised Kim Jong Un, and quoted Vladimir Putin while running for president on a promise to rule as a dictator and threaten American democracy,” Biden-Harris 2024 spokesperson Ammar Moussa said in a statement.Trump on Saturday ratcheted up his already inflammatory rhetoric on immigrants at a rally in New Hampshire.“They’re poisoning the blood of our country,” the former president said. “They’ve poisoned mental institutions and prisons all over the world. Not just in South America, not just the three or four countries that we think about, but all over the world they’re coming into our country from Africa, from Asia.”Trump also further tried to paint President Joe Biden as an authoritarian following criticism of his own remarks about be...

How much gerrymandering is too much? In New York, the answer could make or break Dems’ House hopes

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:27:43 GMT

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — New York’s highest court last week gave Democrats a chance to redraw the state’s congressional districts, a major victory as the party tries to win control of the U.S. House next year.Now the question is how far the state’s Democrat-dominated Legislature will try to push the boundaries in crucial battleground districts to give their party an advantage, and how far the courts will let them.The process will be closely watched for any sign of partisan gerrymandering — drawing lines that give one party an unfair advantage — which is forbidden by state law. And Republicans are expected to challenge the results in court as they try to retain their slim House majority.But experts say it’s unclear where the state’s highest court will land on determining what’s too partisan. “There’s no hard and fast definition or bright line to define partisan gerrymandering,” said New York Law School professor Jeffrey Wice, who focuses on redistrictin...
