Questions & Answers
Q: Are the threats made against Tim Miller and Bill Crystal a cause for concern?
While they may not be personally worried, the normalizing of extreme rhetoric and threats against journalists and political figures raise alarm about the current political environment and the potential dangers that could arise.
Q: What impact could an independent candidate have on the Arizona Senate race?

Q: Can Biden overcome his age problem with a year and sufficient funding?
