PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — Donald Trump's warning that the November election might be rigged is "ridiculous," President Barack Obama declared on Thursday, wading deeper into the 2016 campaign. Anxious Republicans, meanwhile, struggled to move attention from their own infighting to Democratic foe Hillary Clinton.
The feud between the GOP's presidential nominee and Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan again overshadowed Trump's Clinton criticism, underscoring the rising concerns from party leaders over the New York billionaire's unorthodox candidacy and its impact on the future of the party.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Most young Americans say the Republican and Democratic parties don't represent them, a critical data point after a year of ferocious presidential primaries that forced partisans on both sides to confront what — and whom — they stand for.
That's according to a new GenForward poll that shows the disconnect holds true across racial and ethnic groups, with just 28 percent of young adults overall saying the two major parties do a good job of representing the American people.
