After a recently released video revealed Donald Trump boasting about groping women and making unwanted sexual advances, the Republican presidential nominee described his remarks as “locker-room talk,” and said he hadn’t acted on them.

But in a handful of news reports this week, several women claimed Trump had groped them in a way he described on the tapes. Trump vehemently denied the accusations.

While Trump denies acting on locker-room talk, he doesn’t deny a certain kind of locker-room walk.

About halfway into Tuesday night’s vice presidential debate, some American voters may have wondered: What if Gov. Mike Pence (R-Ind.) and Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) were running for top gun instead of wing man?

What if these two were our presidential candidates?

Perhaps it’s an accidentally ironic theme for the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C., to promote a month ahead of the presidential election. This weekend the Gothic cathedral that’s hosted sobering presidential funerals and solemn wartime prayer services will invite pets and their owners to the outside steps of the church for a “blessing of the animals” conducted by clergy.

If opposites attract, Mike Pence might be the perfect match for Donald Trump.

The Republican governor of Indiana—and Trump’s vice presidential pick—checks boxes Trump leaves blank: government experience, a conservative track record, and an even-keeled temperament averse to name-calling or mudslinging.

Now Pence has a new box to check: extol a presidential candidate with character issues and a style often difficult to justify, even as Pence defends possible chinks in his own conservative armor.

Ahead of the first presidential debate Monday night between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, polls showed more than a third of American voters said the head-to-head faceoff would help them decide how to vote.

By the end of the hugely anticipated showdown at Hofstra University in Hempstead, N.Y., each candidate had landed blows against the other, but it was unclear if either achieved the kind of definitive strike that would shore up voters still unsure about which candidate to choose—if any.

CHARLOTTE, N.C.—As workers boarded up smashed windows in downtown Charlotte on Thursday afternoon, out-of-town protesters arrived to join demonstrations against the Tuesday afternoon shooting of a black man by a black police officer. During the first two nights, the initially peaceful protests devolved into violence.

Police say the shooting was justified. The family of Keith Scott, 43, dispute the police account and want the department to release videos of the confrontation. Police say it would jeopardize the investigation. Chaos has ensued. 

Hillary Clinton returned to the campaign trail this week after falling ill at a 9/11 service Sunday in New York City. The Democratic nominee’s physician said the candidate had a mild case of pneumonia, but Clinton’s near-collapse after her sudden departure from the event stoked ongoing speculation about her health.
