The Paper (ABQ)

EDITOR'S NOTE: Here we are, another four years of Donald Trump. Some things have changed but others are the same. He apparently still has it out for journalists and the "enemies within." (Whatever that means) But now we all have the pleasure of saying the majority of Americans picked a convicted felon to run the country. Nothing to see here. Election night also resulted in what seems like Republicans taking the House and Senate. What could go wrong?

Published August 28th, 2024 at 12:00 amThe 2024 Democratic and Republican conventions are now part of the history books. Having attended four Democratic conventions, I know each has its own flavor and spirit. Conventions help show voters the contrast between parties and candidates. For every convention, there is anticipation and media hype prior to the event. Candidates have completed the primary process, and it’s time to come together behind a candidate. This year was historic.

Published July 10th, 2024 at 12:03 amThere has been no shortage of commentary about the Biden vs. Trump debate. As the debate closed, the first focus was on Joe Biden’s appearance, voice and style. He had a poor start and improved as the night wore on, but commentators, journalists, Biden allies and Joe Biden himself conceded it was a bad night.  And a bad night for a candidate always brings out the vultures and the feeding frenzy.

Published July 10th, 2024 at 12:00 amDemocratic U.S Rep. Melanie Stansbury was elected to Congress in 2021, after U.S. Interior Secretary Deb Haaland stepped down to take her current cabinet position. Stansbury handily beat out former Republican state Senator Mark Moores in the 2021 election, then Republican Michelle Garcia Holmes in 2022 by about 10 percentage points. In November, Stansbury will face off against Steve Jones, her third Republican challenger since she’s been in Congress.
