Nikki Haley’s Civil War Battlefield

Nikki Haley made a mess. Part of the job of running for president is being able to think on your feet and answer weird questions that come out of the blue. Enemies are always looking to trip you up. Voters want to see how you handle yourself under fire. It’s a necessary skill to answer with aplomb.Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 87990cbe856818d5eddac44c7b1cdeb8

New Hampshire Republicans Introduce 15-Day Abortion Ban

Republicans in New Hampshire filed one of the most extreme abortion bans in the country on Tuesday ― and a GOP trifecta could allow the bill to become law once the legislature starts its 2024 session next month.The bill was pre-filed in the House in September, but the full text of the abortion ban was only released Tuesday morning. The legislation “prohibits abortion, other than for a medical emergency, if the gestational age of the fetus is more than 15 days,” according to the bill text.“The 15-day abortion ban filed by Republican lawmakers is an insult to Granite Staters,” state Rep. Alexis Simpson, deputy leader for the New Hampshire House Democratic caucus, said Tuesday. “At 15 days, most women do not even know they are pregnant. We must say it like it is ― this proposal would amount ...

Ken Burns Turns His Camera on America’s Beleaguered Buffalo

Listen to article(3 minutes)Ken Burns says he has been thinking about the American buffalo all of his life: “It may be the most important mammal in the history of the United States.” He explains that this “magnificent” yet beleaguered animal, which roamed the Great Plains in the tens of millions less than 200 years ago, has often stalked the background of his films—figuratively and literally—during his career as a documentarian of Americana. “The buffalo intersects with all these interesting parts of American history,” he says, which is why he’s been plotting a project about its fate for nearly 40 years. But he’s glad that he waited. Time, he says, has helped him to better understand the nuances of what he calls an “epic American calamity.”Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. All...

For Christie, New Hampshire’s Primary Is Do or Die

We’re here in New Hampshire, outside a brewery with Gov. Chris Christie because, as he told us, this is his make-or-break state. His path to the Republican nomination runs through New Hampshire, the first-in-the nation primary. “If Donald Trump wins here, he will be our nominee. And everything that happens after that is going to be on our party and on our country.” “You’re about second in the polls in New Hampshire, but President Trump is still 20 points ahead. How do you see your path now that this race has started to actually winning this?” “I see it right where we’re sitting. The path is to beat him here. I think once Donald Trump loses in one place, that entire rotted building will crumble.” “Is there any scenario that you could see where you would drop out?” “Look, Nick, if I don’t d...

Christie To Trump: I’m Good At Tracking People Down And Will Eventually Confront You

HENNIKER, N.H. — Donald Trump can skip debates all he wants, but he won’t be able to avoid a face-to-face confrontation with Chris Christie, the former New Jersey governor and onetime U.S. attorney warned Tuesday.“You think I’m going to have a hard time finding Donald Trump? You think that over the course of the next couple of months, I’m not going to find him and confront him someplace?” Christie told reporters following a “town hall” style campaign stop in New Hampshire. “I was a prosecutor for seven years. It was my job to find people and confront them. Don’t worry about it. I’ll find him.”In a Fox News appearance on Sunday, Christie had brought up the idea of berating Trump in person by simply going to his public campaign events as the two vie for the Republican presidential nominatio...
