LOS ANGELES (AP) — An onstage moment from Thursday night’s Democratic debate has sparked a Twitter back-and-forth between President Donald Trump’s former spokeswoman and Joe Biden. The former vice president imitated a stutter as he related a tale of how he connects with people as he campaigns. Afterward, former Trump press secretary Sarah Sanders seemed to imitate a stutter on Twitter. Sanders followed up with a tweet saying she wasn’t making fun of anyone but “pointing out I can’t follow much of anything Biden is talking about.” Biden tweeted in response, “I’ve worked my whole life to overcome a stutter” and encouraged “empathy” to understand those who have experienced the same.
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is blasting a prominent Christian magazine that published an editorial arguing that he should be removed from office. The essay in Christianity Today cited what it called Trump’s “blackened moral record.” Trump tweeted that the publication would prefer a radical left nonbeliever who “wants to take your religion & your guns.” The magazine was founded by the late Billy Graham. Some of Trump’s strongest evangelical supporters, including Graham’s son, rallied to his side and against the publication. Their pushback underscored Trump’s hold on the evangelical voting bloc that helped propel him into office.
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — The Democratic National Committee is again upping polling and fundraising requirements for presidential hopefuls to qualify for the campaign’s seventh debate in January. It will be the first in a series of four in the earliest-voting states. Qualifiers must either receive 5% in at least four national or early-state surveys approved by the party, or 7% in two early-state polls. They’ll also have to meet donation and fundraising thresholds. Some candidates have argued the stiffening requirements have made the debate stage less diverse. Party officials say candidates knew well in advance the stakes would increase as the first votes draw closer.
