Politics Without Trump? His Youngest Fans Barely Remember It.
NYTS freak out!
May 4, 2024
Democrats call Donald J. Trump dangerous. Republicans see him as revolutionary. For young Trump voters, he is just normal.
When Donald J. Trump held a rally in Rome, Ga., in March, his audience included a second-generation supporter and first-time rallygoer named Luke Harris.
“My parents were always supporters of him — especially when he was going against Hillary,” recalled Mr. Harris, who was in sixth grade in Cartersville, Ga., when Mr. Trump defeated Hillary Clinton in 2016 to win the presidency.
Mr. Harris, now a 19-year-old student at Kennesaw State University, “just grew up looking at him, listening, watching him,” he said. “I kind of grew into it.”
Mr. Trump’s victory, to supporters and detractors alike, represented a profound break with politics as usual in the United States. People who voted against him feared he would turn the American presidency upside down. People who voted for him hoped he would.
But for the youngest Trump supporters participating in their first presidential election this year, Mr. Trump represents something that is all but impossible for older voters to imagine: the normal politics of their childhood.
Charlie Meyer, a 17-year-old high school student who volunteered at a Trump rally in Green Bay, Wis., last month, said he was first drawn to Mr. Trump at 13, during his presidency, because of his views on abortion, which resonated with his own as a Christian.
He has little memory of pre-Trump politics. “I was too young at the time,” he said.
Although President Biden continues to lead among 18- to 29-year-olds in most polls, several surveys in recent weeks show Mr. Trump performing much more strongly with young voters than he was at the same point in 2020, and more strongly than he was against Mrs. Clinton at the same point in 2016.
In the latest New York Times/Siena College poll, from last month, Mr. Trump and Mr. Biden were neck and neck among 18- to 29-year-olds. In the latest Harvard Youth Poll, conducted in March by the Harvard Institute of Politics, Mr. Trump trails by eight points.
“He’s not anywhere close to actually winning,” said John Della Volpe, the Harvard poll’s director, who polled young voters for the Biden campaign in 2020, when Mr. Biden ultimately beat Mr. Trump among 18- to 29-year-olds by 24 points. But “he’s doing as well as any other Republican nominee at this stage of an election since 2012, and that’s meaningful.”
Mr. Della Volpe and other pollsters note that these findings come with a wealth of caveats. Mr. Trump’s relatively good standing with young voters is at odds with their broadly liberal views on most issues, which have led them to favor Democratic candidates for decades.
In polls like Harvard’s, Mr. Biden performs much more strongly among registered or likely voters than he does in polls of all adults, suggesting that he is weakest with those least interested in the race. Young people, who are often late in following elections, appear to be especially disengaged from this year’s race, a contest between two familiar candidates in their 70s and 80s.
“It’s incredibly early to be taking their temperature on the candidates and the election,” said Daniel A. Cox, the director of the American Enterprise Institute Survey Center on American Life, who noted that polls have shown young voters paying far less attention to this year’s election than they did in 2020. “A lot of them simply haven’t tuned in.”
Still, the Trump campaign sees opportunity in the signs of shifts in the demographic. A stark gender divide has emerged in young people’s politics in recent years, in which Republicans enjoy an advantage among young men. In a Times/Siena poll in February, young voters were far more likely to say they were personally helped by Mr. Trump’s policies than by Mr. Biden’s, and far more likely to say they were personally hurt by Mr. Biden’s than by Mr. Trump’s (though in both cases, about half said neither president’s policies had made much difference either way).
John Brabender, a media consultant to Mr. Trump’s campaign who focuses on young voters, pointed to the long shadow of the coronavirus pandemic, which transformed and defined high school and college experiences for many of this year’s young voters. That discontent hurt Mr. Trump in 2020, but Mr. Brabender argues it is more likely to hurt Mr. Biden in 2024.
“Their whole life has been delayed compared to previous generations,” he said. “And they’re extremely frustrated with Biden for that.”..

Republicans pummel State Department with investigations
One party’s oversight is the other’s overkill.
By NAHAL TOOSI.1/3
05/04/2024 07:00 AM EDT
House Republicans have launched more than 30 investigations into the State Departmentsince taking power in 2023, an unusually high number that is fueling partisan tensions, a POLITICO review of records and other information has found.
Republicans say the probes are meant to hold a wayward Biden administration accountable. Democrats call it politically motivated harassment.
A few of the investigations are well-known, such as the probe into how the department handled the 2021 U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan.But others have gotten less attention, such as probes into a human rights grant partly aimed at helping atheists overseas, another into the State Department’s efforts to promote diversity and a grant that could have been used to fund drag shows in Ecuador.
Democratic lawmakers and State Department officials say this particular chapter of the growing partisan rancor on Capitol Hill is affecting U.S. foreign policy: It distracts U.S. diplomats from their jobs when they need to be focused on crises in places such as Ukraine and the Middle East.
“The department will continue to respond to congressional oversight, but the reality is global threats and foreign policy challenges do not cease when we are responding to document requests,” State Department spokesperson Vedant Patel said in a statement.
House Democrats argue several of the probes have nothing to do with serious national security matters or preventing waste, fraud and abuse. Instead, many seem designed to highlight policy differences.
Others, they say, are designed to stoke culture wars to rev up the Republican base ahead of November’s presidential election.
Those include investigations into the department’s human rights programming;the plans for a $20,000 grant aimed at supporting the LGBTQ+ community in Ecuador that may have included drag shows(those plans were altered); and examinations of the Global Engagement Center, the initiative whose efforts to fight foreign disinformation are viewed with skepticism by some on the right.
Among the Republicans most vocal about their frustrations with the State Department is Rep. Brian Mast (R-Fla.).
He argues that State is intentionally drawing out investigations with slow responses. “They believe in these [policies], but they know that they should not be taking place and so they don’t want to answer for them when they get caught red-handed.”
Does he believe that the investigations are distracting from U.S. diplomacy? “They need to be distracted from the foreign policy that they’re conducting,” Mast said. “If we do not distract them from doing bad foreign policy, then U.S. service members are going to pay the price.”
The exact number of Houseinvestigations into the State Department is unclear, with estimates rangingfrom 38 to 45 for this Congress, according to information shared by department officials and lawmakers in a little-noticed March 21 hearing.
It’s hard to make a historical comparison because there’s a lack of solid data, with one problem being that various committee and State Department leaders may define “investigation” differently.

Still, Democratic congressional aides, former U.S. diplomats and others with ties to Capitol Hill said that even the low-end figures appear well above normal for probes into the State Department. Like others in this story, many were granted anonymity to candidly discuss sensitive issues. It’s unclear how the number of congressional probes into State compare with other departments.
There’s no proof yet that the investigations have undermined any of State’s work, and department officials are careful not to publicly make such a claim.
But department employees say the time consumed by probes — from digging up and reviewing documents, to responding to questions, to time spent in interviews, to dealing with follow-up queries and more — takes a toll on their day jobs. It also affects morale among younger, low-level staffers who fear being attacked by high-profile lawmakers.
“We get the work done, but it has an impact on the day-to-day diplomacy,” one State Department official said.
During the March hearing, Republicans did not dispute the estimated number of investigations. But, in response to questions for this story, Olivia Late, spokesperson for the GOP side of the committee, said the State Department often conflates standard document requests or questions with investigations. (State Department officials have said their count of investigations is separate from routine information requests.)
The House Foreign Affairs Committee is the main flashpoint.
It has opened at least 19 of the probes, according to statistics laid out at the March hearing. At that point, State Department officials had spent some 50,000 staff hours responding to the HFAC probes, producing more than 24,000 pages of documents and more than 100 hours of testimony.
Not all of the probes are as complicated or active as others, but it is unclear how many have been formally completed.
Republicans have acknowledged the toil involved in responding to their queries, but they say the State Department is to blame because it fails to properly answer their requests, forcing them to keep asking.
Department officials frequently offer late, vague responses to questions, even in classified settings, Republicans say. When they do hand over documents, they are often heavily redacted and of little use, Republicans complained.
Democrats dismiss the accusation that the department is stalling and say Republicans just don’t like the answers they’re getting.
“A lot of these are policy disagreements, not violations or obstruction,” said Rep. Jason Crow (D-Colo.). “This administration has gone to incredible lengths to meet the substantial demands of the majority.”
The fact that several of the inquiries appear to have been leaked to conservative media raises Democrats’ suspicions that the investigations are more about politics than accountability.
“Congressional oversight and fact-finding about real problems are critical for our national security, but Republicans instead see their oversight authority as a tool for fringe MAGA fishing expeditions, spending taxpayer dollars to pursue politicized investigations that are as paper-thin as they are frivolous,” said Rep. Gregory Meeks of New York, the ranking Democrat on HFAC.
HFAC Chair Mike McCaul (R-Texas), however, insisted in a statement that “none of this is a ‘distraction.’ It’s about ensuring accountability and transparency into programming that State Department officials get away with because they are not straightforward with Congress and/or use rhetoric to disguise exactly how money is being used.”

Gregory Meeks of New York, the ranking Democrat on HFAC.
In one case, new information is leading to a sense of vindication for McCaul and other Republicans.
The case involves a $500,000 grant that touched the sensitive topic of religion.
Republicans accused the department of giving the money to a group that promotes atheism and humanism, questioning if it was constitutional. The department says the grant was about helping atheists, humanists and others facing religious persecution, and that none of the money promoted a particular belief. The effort, the department said, is about protecting religious freedom, which includes the freedom to not believe.
In February, a congressional staff delegation looked into the grant while on a visit to Nepal and India that also included other agenda items. The fact that any trip time was devoted to the grant probe raised the ire of some Democrats, who said it was a waste of resources.
But Republicans noted that the delegation included Democratic staffers, with Late, the Republican spokesperson, saying that there was only a single, one-hour meeting on the atheism grant during the trip.
This week, the State Department notified HFAC leaders that it had recently learned that the grant recipient had shared with it the wrong training slideswhen earlier asked for its work materials. The department is seeking the correct slides to see if the group violated rules, according to a State Department letter obtained by POLITICO. (Yeah Right)
Late accused the State Department of not being truthful about the situation.
Democrats don’t deny that several of the Republican-led probes could yield important information.One, for instance, is about the department’s questionable handling of the suspension of Iran envoy Rob Malley’s security clearance.
And McCaul’s top priority appears to be the probe into the Afghanistan withdrawal. Democrats, generally speaking, are on board with looking into why that process was such a debacle.
But they’re unhappy with how McCaul’s team has been releasing its findings on Afghanistan. Crow said the Republican chair and his aides “cherry-pick their facts and their data.”

Republicans file lawsuit to block count of Nevada mail ballots received after Election Day
The Republican National Committee is suing to stop Nevada from being able to count mail ballots received in election offices after Election Day
LAS VEGAS – The Republican National Committee on Friday filed a federal lawsuit seeking to prevent Nevada from counting mail ballots received after Election Day, as the state's law currently permits.
The law, passed by Democrats in 2021, permits the tallying of mail ballots received up to four days after Election Day,provided the envelopes are postmarked before the end of the day. The lawsuit says the provision also assumes that envelopes received three days after Election Day that don't have a postmark indicating otherwise were posted in time.
Republicans contend this violates the U.S. Constitution's requirement that there be a single day for Election Day.
“Nevada’s ballot receipt deadline clearly violates federal law and undermines electionintegrity in the state," RNC Chairman Michael Whatley said in a statement. "Ballots received days after Election Day should not be counted."
The lawsuit comes after Republicans sued to overturn laws permitting the tallying of ballots received after Election Day in Mississippi and North Dakota, and it's the 83rd election-related suit filed by the party six months before Election Day. That's a sign of both the increased pace of election-related litigation and the party's focus on fighting over election rules after former President Donald Trump installedloyalists who have parroted his false claims about the 2020 election being stolen from him.
Nineteen states, including Nevada, allow ballots to be tallied if they're received after Election Day. Supporters of those rules say they make it easier to vote and ensure that those who cast ballots by mail have as much time to make up their minds as those who vote on Election Day. Opponents contend they slow election results, undermine trust in the system and can be exploited.
“I hope the RNC is putting as much time and energy into educating voters on how to participate in elections as they put into suing the state of Nevada,” the state's Democratic secretary of state, Francisco Aguilar, said in a statement.

The Trump trial is the latest must-see attraction for tourists in New York: Courtroom 1530 is the new 'room where it happens' for visitors after Hamilton and the Statue of Liberty
By Rob Crilly, Senior U.S. Political Reporter For Dailymail.Com In New York
06:13 EDT 03 May 2024, updated 09:43 EDT 03 May 2024
Members of the public staked out their spots at 5am for a seat in court
They included tourists who added the court to their sightseeing itinerary
If it was Hamilton on Broadway on Wednesday, it was Trump in court Thursday
They've ticked off Ellis Island, the Statue of Liberty and seen Hamilton on Broadway.
Now the visitors from Australia are headed for the public gallery of the Donald Trump trial at Manhattan Criminal Court.
“We woke up this morning and said we have to be in "the room where it happens,' said Marney, breaking into the hit song from Hamilton, quickly followed by a fit of giggles.
Across the street is the Manhattan court where Donald Trump is on trial.
He has denied 34 counts of falsifying business records.
But a seemingly mundane case about ledgers and checks has become the hottest ticket in town, enlivened already by the testimony of America's tabloid king and a celebrity lawyer who has won payouts from Charlie Sheen.
Those who arrived early enough were given a yellow ticket on Thursday ensuring access
Stormy Daniels is almost certain to appear.
And for the lucky few who line up early enough to snag one of the golden tickets (well, the yellow card emblazoned with the New York State Unified Court System logo) there is a chance to be in the same room as the first former president to ever face criminal chares.
Marney and her friend (who decline to give their full names because one works in the Australian legal system) are too far back in the line. Their destination is the overflow room, 1523, where proceedings are shown by video feed.
'It's history,' said Marney. 'If he is convicted he is the first president to be convicted. If he is acquitted, maybe he wins. Either way …'
It is only 7:30am on a drab New York morning but there are more than 25 people in line, standing beside a queue for journalists who get first dibs at the seats.
Among the reporters is Andrew Weissmann, former Mueller investigation investigator-turned-MSNBC talking head.
He has to fend off questions and selfies from perhaps the nerdiest line for a tourist attraction in the city.
He points out how rundown the court building looks: 'You can tell from those old air conditioning units.'
No central air here. The windows are studded with old-fashioned box coolers.
Ask him about the ground-floor cafeteria and his nose wrinkles in shock.
This ticket is a lot cheaper than Broadway (well, it's free). And the facilities match the price.
The small park next to the line is set aside for protesters, but it is empty until a bearded man, dressed in black, arrives clanging a bell under his elbow.
He waves a crucifix in front of him, looking for all the world as if he is blessing the bedraggled ranks of camera crews and reporters tasked with broadcasting from in front of the court house.
Ten minutes later and a woman from France has joined the line. She is chatting to a man from Colorado who is in town for a funeral, but found time to round out his visit with Hamilton on Wednesday, and Trump on Thursday. …

Ukraine’s creditors want their money back – WSJ
Foreign bondholders paused Kiev’s debt payments in 2022, but their patience is reportedly running out
A group of foreign bondholders have taken steps to force Ukraine to begin repaying its debts as soon as next year, the Wall Street Journal reported on Sunday.
If they succeed, Kiev could hemorrhage $500 million every year on interest payments alone.
The group, which includesinvestment giants Blackrock and Pimco, granted Kiev a two-year debt holidayin 2022, gambling that the conflict with Russia would have concluded by now.
With no end to the fighting in sight, the lenders havenow hired lawyers at Weil Gotshal & Manges and bankers from PJT Partners to meet with Ukrainian officialsand strike a deal whereby Ukraine would resume making interest payments next year in exchange for having a significant chunk of its debt written off, anonymous sources told the Wall Street Journal.
The group holds around a fifth of Ukraine’s $20 billion in outstanding Eurobonds, the newspaper reported. While this figure represents a fraction ofUkraine’s total external debt of $161.5 billion, servicing the interest on these bonds would cost the country $500 million annually, the bondholders said.
Should the bondholders fail to strike a deal with Kiev by August, Ukraine could default. This would damage the country’s credit rating and restrict its ability to borrow even more money in the future.
According to the newspaper,Ukrainian officials are hoping that the US and other Western governments will take its side during talks with the bondholders. However, a group of these countries have already offered Ukraine a debt holiday on around $4 billion worth of loans until 2027, and are reportedly concerned that any deal with the bondholders would see private lenders being repaid before them.
Ukraine already relies on foreign aid to keep government departments open and state employees paid. The country’s military is almost entirely dependent on foreign funding; officials in Kiev and the West were predicting imminent defeat until the US Congress approved a foreign aid bill last month which included $61 billion for Ukraine and US government agencies involved in the conflict.
The bill provides almost $14 billion to Ukraine for the purchase of weapons, and includes $9 billion in new “forgivable loans.”
According to the Wall Street Journal, some bondholders havesuggested that the US and EU could use frozen Russian assets to pay off Ukraine’s debts. While around $300 billion in assets belonging to the Russian central bank have been frozen in American and European banks since 2022, the US only passed legislation allowing for their seizure last month, and no similar legal mechanism exists in Europe, where the vast majority of these assets are held.
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) and European Central Bank (ECB) have both urged governments not to steal this money, with ECB chief Christine Lagarde warning last month that doing so would risk “breaking the international order that you want to protect.”

Ukrainians are God’s chosen people – Zelensky
Amid nationwide persecution of Orthodox Christians, the Ukrainian president claimed that God is his nation’s “ally”
Ukrainian President VladimirZelensky has proclaimed that God is an “ally” of Ukraine in the conflict with Russia. Despite his invoking of the Almighty, Zelensky has led a crackdown on the Orthodox Church for the last two years.
As Orthodox Christians celebrated Easter on Sunday, Zelensky released a video address from Kiev’s Saint Sophia Cathedral, in which he accused Russia of “breaking all the commandments.”
“The world sees it, God knows it,” he said. “And we believe God has a chevron with the Ukrainian flag on his shoulder. So, with such an ally, life will definitely win over death.”(He’s seriously insane now.)
Zelensky’s appeal to Christians came asUkraine’s parliamentexamines legislation that wouldclose down the country’s largest Christian church, the Ukrainian Orthodox Church(UOC). While the law has sat in parliament for months, Zelensky’s government has moved to restrict the Church’s activity since the conflict began in 2022.
The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) has opened dozens of criminal cases against UOC priests, has sanctioned clerics, andstripped at least 19 bishops of their Ukrainian citizenship, according to TASS news agency. Church property has been seized, and monks evicted from the Kiev Pechersk Lavra, an ancient monastery and the most prominent Orthodox site in Ukraine.
The UOC has deep historical ties with the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC), which it renounced after Russia launched its military operation in Ukraine in February 2022. Despite declaring autonomy from the ROC, Zelensky has accused the UOC of functioning as an “agent of Moscow,” and promoted the government-created Orthodox Church of Ukraine (OCU) as its replacement.
A non-canonical organization, the OCU was established by the government of President Pyotr Poroshenko after the US-backed coup in Ukraine in 2014.

Earlier this year, a group of lawyers wrote to British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak,warning him that banning the UOC could cause “serious harm to Orthodox Ukrainians” and have “dire ramifications for Ukraine’s entry into the European Union and its place in the Western world.”

EU nation wants to ban Russian diplomats from traveling across the bloc
“Many” Russian diplomats are “spies,” Prague believes, according to news outlet Der Spiegel
Russian diplomats should be confined to their destination countries within the EU and not allowed move freely around the bloc, the Czech government maintains, according to the German weekly Der Spiegel. Prague regards Moscow’s diplomatic staff as “spies” on the lookout for the bloc’s potential weaknesses, the outlet reported on Saturday, citing documents it had seen.
TheCzech authorities have been seeking to restrict freedom of movement for Russian diplomats since at least last summer, the article claims. The nation’s foreign minister, Jan Lipavsky, reportedly revisited the issue last month, during an EU Foreign Affairs Council meeting in Luxembourg.
“Espionage and propaganda are the main tasks of many Russian diplomats in the EU,“ said a document presented by Prague earlier the same month in Brussels, according to Der Spiegel. The list of alleged activities of Russian diplomatic mission staffers reportedly includes “logistics for sabotage and acts of terrorism.”
“Hundreds” of Russian “agents” are currently able to move across the EU virtually uncontrolled, Prague warned, demanding that any future Russian diplomatic mission staffers be granted visas only for their destination countries instead of ones for the 29-country Schengen Area. Any such diplomat traveling across the EU should then be “forced” to present their ID and a travel permit at international control points, the April paper drafted by Czech authorities reportedly recommends, arguing that such measures would not require “systematic” border controls within the Schengen area.
“The freedom of movement of Russian spies throughout the Schengen area is not a diplomatic privilege,” Prague stated, according to the magazine.
The initiative was met with skepticism, the article continued, by other EU members, including Germany, which argued that the measure would be difficult to implement and would lead to retaliatory measures from Moscow. Damage to the EU might eventually be greater than to Russia, some believe.
The Czech authorities reportedly brushed off these arguments by claiming that any tit-for-tat response on Moscow’s part would somehow be a violation of international law. Russia has so far not commented on the proposed restrictions on movement.
Prague’s concerns were reportedly shared by, among others, the German domestic security service, the BfV, which is responsible for counterintelligence measures. “Almost all diplomats accredited in Germany work at least part-time for the Russian secret services,” the security officials believe, according to Der Spiegel.
The report came weeks after two men were arrested in Germany on suspicion of planning to sabotage local military infrastructure and of “working for Russia.” At least one of the two suspects allegedly had a contact within the Russian “intelligence service,” according to the German Prosecutor General’s Office.
Moscow has dismissed as “absurd and ridiculous” the claims about Russia’s involvement in such plots. It also called the incident in Germany a “blatant provocation”aimed at stirring up Russophobia and spy hysteria.
(These countries are trying to scare citizens to justify a war with Russia. This is insane.)
