Comment on Analysis: Obama budget buffeted by crosswinds

In a debate-night surprise, climate science got near-top billing during the vice presidential face-off between Gov. Tim Walz and Sen. JD Vance in New York on Tuesday, as the sprawling impacts of Hurricane Helene, which killed at least 160 people, were still being felt across the Southeast. Just after an opening that addressed the escalating crisis in the Middle East, CBS moderator Norah O’Donnell noted that climate change is only making storms like Helene worse and asked Vance if he agreed with Donald Trump’s assertion that climate change is a “hoax.” Vance, in a pattern that repeated across the night, couldn’t bring himself to contradict the former president. Instead, he pointed a finger at his opponents.

GOP vice presidential nominee JD Vance has a refrain he loves to repeat when he’s questioned about his draconian anti-abortion positions and former President Donald Trump’s plans for reproductive rights: Leave it to the states. That’s essentially what he said when he faced off against Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz at the vice presidential debate Tuesday night when moderator Norah O’Donnell asked if he would create a federal pregnancy monitoring agency.

By BILL BARROW, ZEKE MILLER and NICHOLAS RICCARDI WASHINGTON (AP) — Vice presidential hopefuls Tim Walz and JD Vance focused their criticism on the top of the ticket on Tuesday as they engaged in a policy-heavy discussion that may be the last debate of the 2024 presidential campaign.

I’m rubber, you’re glue. That’s the Trump campaign’s strategy when it comes to the cruelest part of former President Donald Trump’s record—and the serious concern that he intends to repeat it. During the vice presidential debate on Tuesday, Trump’s running mate, Ohio Sen. JD Vance, refused to say whether Trump’s mass deportation plan would separate parents and children, including children who are citizens. Instead, Vance repeatedly claimed that it was Vice President Kamala Harris who had engaged in family separation.

As Iran launched a massive barrage of ballistic missiles into Israel on Tuesday, President Biden’s hopes of ending the war in Gaza before leaving office and holding off a wider regional war in the Middle East seemed dimmer than ever. The attack from Iran came after Israel had expanded its war against Iran’s proxies in the region, launching a brazen series of assaults to dismantle Hezbollah’s leadership on its northern border and hitting Iran-backed Houthi forces in Yemen. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] Now, Biden’s caught between his promise to bring the war in Gaza to an end, and continuing to support Israel’s defense in an escalating conflict on another front. The President spent much of Tuesday in the Situation Room, the cramped, wood paneled command center in the basement of the West Wing, as U.
