That controversial television ad that photoshopped Pinellas County GOP Congressman David Jolly with Donald Trump made for some fodder on a late night comedy show Tuesday, when “The Late Show’s” Stephen Colbert referred to it during his monologue. “Democrats couldn’t find any photos tying Jolly to Trump, so they just photoshopped Trump with his arm around Jolly,” Colbert said, showing a […]

Hillary Clinton bested Donald Trump in three debates. She leads in many preference polls of the most competitive states.

Former President Bill Clinton stopped in Jacksonville Friday as part of a bus tour through the northern part of Florida on behalf of the Hillary Clinton campaign. It was a tale of two narratives.

After laying out his wife’s education plans from universal prekindergarten through college student loan refinancing, former President Bill Clinton told a Florida’s teachers’ union Friday in Orlando that “if she becomes president, you will have a partner in the White House.” Clinton’s 35-minute speech to the Florida Education Association delegate conference at the Rosen Centre […]

Attendees of Bill Clinton‘s appearance in Jacksonville Friday afternoon should prepare for “airport-style security,” according to an email from event organizers. The email, sent out Friday morning under the aegis of “updated details,” offers fairly detailed logistics for the event, held in the secured space of Jacksonville’s main public library. “Please arrive early and expect airport-style […]

Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump‘s long and acrimonious battle for the White House is speeding toward the end, with the candidates taking the debate stage Wednesday night for one final prime-time showdown.

Former President Bill Clinton will address the Florida Education Association’s conference in Orlando Friday and then go on a bus tour to rallies in Jacksonville, Panama City and Pensacola, the Hillary For America campaign announced Wednesday. Clinton’s two-day, four-city swing on behalf of his wife Hillary Clinton‘s Democratic presidential bid begins Monday morning with an address […]

A Tuesday email from Team Florida of the Donald Trump campaign had what seemed to be a stunning omission in a list of debate watch parties. Duval County — the most conservative metro in the state, with a GOP mayor in Jacksonville and all three beaches cities — was not represented in the list, which included smaller counties like […]
