Tensions Linger Between Harris And Biden Campaign Staffs

The race for Congress between U. S. Rep. Yadira Caraveo and Republican state Rep. Gabe Evans narrowed once again Friday afternoon, according to newly updated results. But there are still thousands of ballots outstanding in Adams County, which has been favoring Caraveo by nearly 12 percentage points. As of 12:39 p.m., the Democrat held a slim 1,321-vote lead over Evans — equating to a 48.9% to 48.4% edge — out of 297,106 ballots tallied. It’s not clear when Adams County will post more results from its counting efforts.

Sen. James Coleman, a Denver Democrat, will lead the Colorado Senate as its president. Voters in his district reelected Coleman Tuesday, giving him more than 80% of the vote. He was uncontested in his selection for the top role in the chamber during a caucus meeting Friday, succeeding term-limited President Steve Fenberg. Coleman previously served as the Senate president pro tempore, who leads the chamber in the president’s absence.

Just days after former President Donald Trump won the presidential election, his onetime-opponent turned supporter, the anti-vaccine superstar Robert F.

This week, on a blistering, record-hot election day, Americans went to the polls and voted to put former President Donald Trump back in power. If a second Trump term is an epochal event for American democracy, so too is it for the global efforts to address climate change.

With Trump in office, an all out effort will benefit the U. S. in a large number of ways.

It’s gonna be great.
