By ZEKE MILLER, MICHELLE L. PRICE, WILL WEISSERT and JILL COLVIN Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) - Donald Trump was elected the 47th president of the United States on Wednesday, an extraordinary comeback for a former president who refused to accept defeat four years ago, sparked a violent insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, was convicted of felony charges and survived two assassination attempts. With a win in Wisconsin, Trump cleared the 270 electoral votes needed to clinch...
By LISA MASCARO and MARY CLARE JALONICK Associated Press WASHINGTON — Republicans have taken control of the U.S. Senate and are fighting to keep their majority in the U.S. House, which would produce a full sweep of GOP power in Congress alongside President-elect Donald Trump in the White House. A unified Republican grip on Washington would set the course for Trump's agenda. Or if Democrats wrest control of the House, it would provide an almost certain backstop, with veto p...
By JOSH BOAK and LINLEY SANDERS Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — A disaffected electorate wanted former President Donald Trump to return to the White House, a blatant rejection of Vice President Kamala Harris and her nearly four years with President Joe Biden. The Republican's victory came from a public so put off by America's trajectory that they welcomed his brash and disruptive approach. About 3 in 10 voters said they wanted total upheaval in how the country is run, according to AP VoteCast, a sweeping survey of more tha...
By ZEKE MILLER, MICHELLE L. PRICE and WILL WEISSERT Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — Polls have closed in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, Arizona, Wisconsin and North Carolina, six of the seven closely fought battlegrounds expected to decide the presidential election, but the results there are too early to call, as balloting continues in Nevada and other parts of the West. Donald Trump won Florida, a one-time battleground that has shifted heavily to Republicans in recent elections. He also notched early wins in reliably R...
The sauce for this meatloaf does double duty as a glaze and a flavoring agent for the meat. It’s purposely savory and tangy, erring on the side of a less-sweet meatloaf while driving flavor and spice into the meat. A combination of beef and pork mirrors a classic Italian meatball, but feel free to switch the meat ratios to your preference. You can also replace the beef and pork with turkey — preferably dark meat if possible. Light turkey meat is less flavorful. The key to a l...
WILL WEISSERT and COLLEEN LONG The Associated Press DETROIT — Vice President Kamala Harris dropped into a Detroit art gallery Tuesday accompanied by three Hollywood stars for a conversation with Black men about entrepreneurship as both she and Donald Trump sought to energize key constituencies their allies worry may be slipping away. Harris was joined by Don Cheadle, Delroy Lindo and Detroit native Cornelius Smith Jr. at the Norwest Art Gallery. The space, with wood floors and exposed pipes, featured small prints set up on e...
By TOM MURPHY AP Health Writer Walgreens plans to close about 1,200 locations over the next three years as the drugstore chain. Walgreens will close about 1,200 locations over the next three years as the drugstore chain seeks to turnaround a struggling U.S. business that contributed to a $3 billion quarterly loss. Company shares soared Tuesday after Walgreens detailed the plan and also reported better-than-expected quarterly results. The company said Tuesday that about 500 stores will close in the current fiscal year and shou...
PAUL WISEMAN and CHRISTOPHER RUGABER AP Economics Writers WASHINGTON — With characteristic bravado, Donald Trump has vowed that if voters return him to the White House, “inflation will vanish completely.” It’s a message tailored for Americans who are still exasperated by the jump in consumer prices that began 3 1/2 years ago. Yet most mainstream economists say Trump’s policy proposals wouldn’t vanquish inflation. They’d make it worse. They warn that his plans to impose huge tariffs on imported goods, deport millions of m...
CHRISTINA A. CASSIDY and NICHOLAS RICCARDI The Associated Press ATLANTA — The latest method of voting to fall into the political crosshairs is the way overseas voters — including members of the military stationed abroad — cast their ballots. The process is governed by federal law and implemented by states. In recent weeks, Republicans have been challenging how states handle these voters, something former President Donald Trump didn’t do in 2020 when he and his allies challenged his loss in court. But things have changed...
TOM KRISHER AP Business Writer DETROIT - The union representing 45,000 striking U.S. dockworkers at East and Gulf coast ports reached a deal Thursday to suspend a three-day strike until Jan. 15 to provide time to negotiate a new contract. The union, the International Longshoremen's Association, is to resume working immediately. The temporary end to the strike came after the union and the U.S. Maritime Alliance, which represents ports and shipping companies, reached a...
Updated 1:42 p.m. AAMER MADHANI, MELANIE LIDMAN and BASSEM MROUE The Associated Press JERUSALEM — Iran launched at least 180 missiles into Israel today, the latest in a series of escalating attacks in a yearslong conflict between Israel and Iran and its Arab allies that threatens to push the Middle East closer toward a regionwide war. The orange glow of missiles streaked across Israel's night sky as air raid sirens sounded and millions of residents scrambled into bomb shelters. Israel vowed retaliation for Iran's missile barr...
By ERIC TUCKER The Associated Press WASHINGTON - The gunman in the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump searched online for events of both Trump and President Joe Biden, looked up information about explosives over the last five years and eyed the Pennsylvania campaign rally where he opened fire last month as a "target of opportunity," a senior FBI official said Wednesday. Investigators who have conducted nearly 1,000 interviews do not yet have a motive for...
Press release U.S. Sen. Jon Tester announced last Thursday that the cost of 10 lifesaving prescription drugs will officially be lowered as a result of the first price negotiations authorized by the Inflation Reduction Act. An estimated nearly 25,000 Montana seniors on Medicare will see cost savings up to 79% thanks to Tester’s law, and Medicare enrollees across the country are expected to save $1.5 billion on out-of-pocket costs when the new prices go into effect. The reduced prices for Montanans were announced today as a r...
ZEKE MILLER and SEUNG MIN KIM The Associated Press WASHINGTON - Vice President Kamala Harris moved swiftly to lock up Democratic delegates behind her campaign for the White House after President Joe Biden stepped aside amid concerns from within their own party that he would be unable to defeat Republican Donald Trump. Biden's exit Sunday, prompted by Democratic worries over his fitness for office, was a seismic shift to the presidential contest that upended both major...
Filed 6:22 p.m. JILL COLVIN, COLLEEN LONG, JULIE CARR SMYTH, ERIC TUCKER and MICHELLE L. PRICE The Associated Press BUTLER, Pa. — Donald Trump appeared to be the target of an assassination attempt as he spoke during a rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday, law enforcement officials said. The former president, his ear covered in blood, was quickly pulled away by Secret Service agents and his campaign said he was "fine." The attack, by a shooter who law enforcement officials say w...

PRICE TheAssociated Press BUTLER, Pa. - On the heels of an apparent attempt to kill him, former President Donald Trump called today for unity and resilience as shocked leaders across the political divide recoiled from the shooting that left him wounded but "fine" and the gunman and a rally-goer dead. The presumptive Republican presidential nominee...
Filed 9:31 a.m. Sunday, July 14, 2024 MICHAEL BIESECKER and ALANNA DURKIN RICHER The Associated Press WASHINGTON — The man who officials say tried to assassinate former President Donald Trump was a 20-year-old from a Pittsburgh suburb not far from the campaign rally where one attendee was killed. Investigators were working today to gather more information about Thomas Matthew Crooks of Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, who they say opened fire from a rooftop outside the rally venue in Butler before he was killed by Secret S...
Posted Friday, June 28, 2024 ZEKE MILLER, STEVE PEOPLES, DARLENE SUPERVILLE and MICHELLE L. PRICE The Associated Press WASHINGTON - President Joe Biden forcefully tried today to quell Democratic anxieties over his unsteady showing in his debate with former President Donald Trump, as elected members of his party closed ranks around him in an effort to shut down talk of replacing him atop the ticket. Biden's halting delivery and meandering comments, particularly early in the...
COLLIN BINKLEY AP Education Writer WASHINGTON — The Biden administration's new Title IX rule expanding protections for LGBTQ+ students has been temporarily blocked in four states after a federal judge in Louisiana found that it overstepped the Education Department's authority. In a preliminary injunction granted Thursday, U.S. District Judge Terry A. Doughty called the new rule an "abuse of power" and a "threat to democracy." His order blocks the rule in Louisiana, which filed a challenge to the rule in April, and in M...
MICHAEL R. SISAK, JENNIFER PELTZ, ERIC TUCKER and MICHELLE L. PRICE The Associated Press NEW YORK - Donald Trump became the first former president to be convicted of felony crimes Thursday as a New York jury found him guilty of falsifying business records in a scheme to illegally influence the 2016 election through hush money payments to a porn actor who said the two had sex. Jurors convicted Trump on all 34 counts after deliberating for 9.5 hours. As the verdict was read, he...
MIKE CORDER The Associated Press THE HAGUE, Netherlands - The United Nations' top court ordered Israel today to immediately halt its military offensive in the southern Gaza city of Rafah, but stopped short of ordering a cease-fire for the enclave. Although Israel is unlikely to comply with the order, it will ratchet up the pressure on the increasingly isolated country. Criticism of Israel's conduct in the war in Gaza has been growing, particularly since it turned its focus to...
STEPHEN GROVES, MARY CLARE JALONICK and REBECCA SANTANA The Associated Press WASHINGTON — Senate Republicans again blocked a bill meant to clamp down on the number of migrants allowed to claim asylum at the U.S.-Mexico border as Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer sought today to underscore GOP resistance to the proposal. The legislation, negotiated by a bipartisan group of senators, was already rejected by most Republicans in February when it was linked to a foreign aid package for Ukraine, Israel and other U.S. allies. But...

KEVIN FREKING and MARY CLARE JALONICK The Associated Press WASHINGTON - The Senate passed a $1.2 trillion package of spending bills in the early morning hours today, a long overdue action nearly six months into the budget year that will push any threats of a government shutdown to the fall. The bill now goes to President Joe Biden to be signed into law. The vote was 74-24. It came after funding had expired for the agencies at midnight, but the White House sent out a notice sho...
