Refusing to endorse Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, he found himself booed off the stage. While the move wasn’t unexpected, the optics

Thirteen months after launching an improbable bid for the White House, Donald Trump captured the 2016 Republican presidential nomination on Tuesday, having vanquished 16 party rivals, warred with much of its establishment and provoked controversy at every turn.

Prior to the Independence Day holiday weekend, the Republican primary in Wisconsin’s First Congressional District was a tale of two districts. In one, based entirely on media polling in the district, Speaker of the House Paul Ryan was seeing nearly 70-percent support from Republicans.

Vice President Joe Biden made headlines Thursday night when an interview he conducted, which isn’t supposed to air until Sunday, was leaked, suggesting he believes U.S. Sen.
