Congressional Accountability - News Briefs
What you need to know about the Electoral College as 2024 race nears end
ABC News By Alexandra Hutzler
The 2024 presidential election will come to an end in a matter of days. Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump remain locked in a dead heat in national and battleground state polls, with all eyes on who will clinch the Electoral College. Here is what to know about the process before Nov. 5. What is the Electoral College?
Israel is the No. 1 lobbyist-funded travel destination for members of Congress
Politico By Aidan Hughes, Cait Kelley, Daryl Perry
The nonprofit arm of “America’s pro-Israel lobby” is spending big to shape US lawmakers’ views of Israel’s conservative government. Lawmakers and aides have toured Israel over hundreds of trips in the past decade hosted by the nonprofit arm of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, meeting with a lineup of speakers largely aligned with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's conservative views — including Netanyahu himself.
How California’s Portuguese community may tip the balance of power in Congress
LA Times By Faith E. Pinho
The town is tiny enough that most drivers speeding along Interstate 5 in California’s Central Valley miss it. But on a recent weekend, twinkling white lights stretched over Thornton’s main intersection, the scent of linguica sausage clung to the cool autumn air and Portuguese flags flew proudly above throngs of visitors pouring into the streets. It was one of the final festas of the summer, and Portuguese people from across the Central Valley flocked to Thornton to celebrate.
What if Democrats Win the White House and Congress on Tuesday?
NY Times By Jonathan Alter
Call it a political upset for the ages or just a pipe dream, but Democrats should put aside their anxiety for a moment and imagine this scenario next week: Kamala Harris wins the presidency, Democrats take the House and they beat the odds by holding most of their Senate seats and pulling off at least one surprise victory (Texas? Florida? Nebraska?) that lets them maintain power in that chamber. Unlikely, you say, and you're probably right.
Harris winning the Electoral College wouldn't make it any more democratic
MSNBC By Hayes Brown
The assumption was that the Electoral College math would continue to favor the GOP and disadvantage Democrats. But the main theme as we barrel toward the 2024 presidential election seems to be “expect the unexpected.” Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump remain frustratingly close in poll after poll, opening the door to a world where he wins the popular vote but still loses the Electoral College and the presidency. - October 30, 2024
