A North Carolina judicial panel told state lawmakers Tuesday they must redraw the current legislative district map because it gives Republicans an unfair advantage. The panel of three state trial judges said the map violated the rights of voters by ensuring a GOP majority in the North Carolina General Assembly.

If most of us American evangelicals are still flummoxed by the ethical dilemmas of the 2016 presidential election, we should be studying hard and getting ready. Things could be even more challenging in 2020.

A second Republican announced Sunday he will run against President Donald Trump in the 2020 primaries. Joe Walsh, a former congressman from Illinois, joins former Massachusetts Gov. William Weld, who declared his intention to seek the GOP nomination in February, to challenge the incumbent president from the right.

One of the more awkward moments at a recent Christian conference in Atlanta came when an announcer enthusiastically introduced Elizabeth Warren as the senator “from the great state of New Hampshire.” 

Warren is from Massachusetts.

The senator is also a frontrunner in the early stages of the Democratic presidential primary race, but the mistake is understandable: With more than a dozen Democratic candidates in the 2020 field, it’s easy to confuse the details. 

Democratic front-runner Joe Biden had to fend off attacks on his record during a divisive debate in Detroit Wednesday night. His rivals repeatedly challenged his stances on healthcare, climate change, and abortion, and for his part in Obama administration policies on immigration and trade. Former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julián Castro accused Biden of not having “learned the lessons of the past” for rejecting progressive plans to decriminalize illegal immigration.

Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren took center stage Tuesday during the first night of a second pair of Democratic presidential debates in Detroit. The pair of progressive senators defended against charges from the other more moderate candidates that “wish-list economics” could cost their party a shot at the White House in 2020.

The two leading progressives among the Democratic presidential hopefuls will face off in Detroit on Tuesday night with eight other 2020 candidates in the party’s second set of debates. Sens. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., have staked out far-left positions on student debt forgiveness and single-payer healthcare but so far have avoided going after each other. The Democrats are once again divided into two debates that will air Tuesday and Wednesday at 8 p.m. EDT on CNN.
