The News Agents - USA ·

2023/11/14

Every time abortion rights are on the ballot, the Democrat candidates do well. That’s been the story since Roe v Wade was overturned 18 months ago. And republicans are beginning to panic. Do they have a plan to win back voters? Does it include a softer stance? Also today we hear from a Republican and a Democrat formerly in Congress. If Biden is doing so well, where is the enthusiasm?

2023/10/17

Joe Biden is heading head-first into an active warzone. The 80-year-old is travelling to Israel tomorrow to begin brokering the toughest negotiation of his presidency - in an attempt to restore relative calm and peace in the Middle East.

Could a 'treason clause' kick Trump off the ballot?

2023/09/05

The 14th Amendment is not something anyone has discussed much since the 1800s. But right now it's the talk of the town. It includes a post-civil war clause that bars anyone from holding public office if they've engaged in an insurrection or rebellion.Right now, there are lawyers, academics and die-hard constitutionalists who are working out if there's a legal channel to remove Trump's name from any electoral ballot on the grounds he tried to overturn democracy on January 6th 2020.
