Review of the day

Federal

  • Donald Trump released a childcare and maternity leave plan. The plan calls for a tax deduction for childcare expenses and a guaranteed six weeks of paid maternity leave. With regard to the childcare tax deduction, Trump said, “Families with a stay-at-home parent will be able to fully deduct the average cost of childcare from their taxes.” Deductions would be set at the “average cost of care” in each state and would be limited to individuals with annual incomes less than $250,000 or couples with annual incomes less than $500,000. On paid maternity leave, Trump said, “[O]ur plan offers a crucial safety net for working mothers whose employers do not provide paid maternity leave. This solution will receive strong bipartisan support … And we will be completely self-financing.” Trump campaign officials told The Washington Post that paid maternity leave would be paid for by “savings achieved by eliminating fraud in the unemployment insurance program.” Trump delivered a speech about the policy outside of Philadelphia along with his daughter, Ivanka Trump, whom he credited for helping craft the plan.
    • Hillary Clinton’s campaign, which has called for 12 weeks of paid family or medical leave, criticized Trump’s plan. A spokesperson said, “After spending his entire career — and this entire campaign — demeaning women and dismissing the need to support working families, Donald Trump released a regressive and insufficient 'maternity leave' policy that is out-of-touch, half-baked and ignores the way Americans live and work today.”

  • The New York attorney general’s office opened an investigation into the Donald J. Trump Foundation to ensure that it is “complying with the laws governing charities in New York.” The announcement comes as stories from The Washington Post and the Associated Press have raised questions about the foundation’s finances. New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman said in an interview, “My interest in this issue really is in my capacity as regulator of nonprofits in New York state. And we have been concerned that the Trump Foundation may have engaged in some impropriety from that point of view. And we’ve inquired into it, and we’ve had correspondence with them. I didn’t make a big deal out of it or hold a press conference. We have been looking into the Trump Foundation to make sure it's complying with the laws governing charities in New York.”
    • In response to the news of the investigation, a spokesperson for Trump’s campaign said, “Attorney General Eric Schneiderman is a partisan hack who has turned a blind eye to the Clinton Foundation for years and has endorsed Hillary Clinton for President. This is nothing more than another left-wing hit job designed to distract from Crooked Hillary Clinton's disastrous week.”
  • Responding to a questionnaire from Scientific American, Donald Trump voiced his opinions on issues such as climate change, scientific integrity, and space exploration.
    • Climate change: “There is still much that needs to be investigated in the field of ‘climate change.’ Perhaps the best use of our limited financial resources should be in dealing with making sure that every person in the world has clean water. Perhaps we should focus on eliminating lingering diseases around the world like malaria. Perhaps we should focus on efforts to increase food production to keep pace with an ever-growing world population. Perhaps we should be focused on developing energy sources and power production that alleviates the need for dependence on fossil fuels. We must decide on how best to proceed so that we can make lives better, safer and more prosperous.”
    • Scientific integrity: “Science is science and facts are facts. My administration will ensure that there will be total transparency and accountability without political bias. The American people deserve this and I will make sure this is the culture of my administration.”
    • Space exploration: “Space exploration has given so much to America, including tremendous pride in our scientific and engineering prowess. A strong space program will encourage our children to seek STEM educational outcomes and will bring millions of jobs and trillions of dollars in investment to this country. The cascading effects of a vibrant space program are legion and can have a positive, constructive impact on the pride and direction of this country. Observation from space and exploring beyond our own space neighborhood should be priorities. We should also seek global partners, because space is not the sole property of America. All humankind benefits from reaching into the stars.”
  • In an op-ed published by The Guardian, Jill Stein said that she would "immediately pardon Edward Snowden, Chelsea Manning and John Kiriakou for their important work in exposing the massive, systematic violation of our constitutional rights" and "invite them to the White House to publicly acknowledge their heroism” if she were elected president. She added that she would “create a role for them in the Stein-Baraka Green party administration to help us create a modern framework that protects personal privacy while still conducting effective investigations where warranted.”
  • The Clinton campaign released a new ad, "Low Opinion," which features several clips of Donald Trump making derogatory or negative statements about individuals based on their gender, ethnicity, disability, or intelligence. The video is a direct response to Trump's charge that "you can't lead this nation if you have such a low opinion for its citizens," which was made after Clinton described "half" of Trump's supporters as "deplorables." The ad is set to air nationally.
  • The final congressional primaries of the election cycle took place on Tuesday in Delaware, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island.
  • Delaware held U.S. House primaries.
  • New Hampshire held congressional primaries.
    • The U.S. Senate seat currently held by Kelly Ayotte (R) is up for election in 2016. Ayotte is seeking re-election and easily defeated four primary challengers on Tuesday. She will face Gov. Maggie Hassan (D) in the general election. New Hampshire is one of the nine Senate battleground races that will determine which party will control the Senate.
    • There are two House districts in New Hampshire. Control of the state’s congressional districts is currently divided, and each party holds one congressional district.
    • District 1 is currently held by Frank Guinta (R). Guinta is seeking re-election despite calls for his resignation from Republicans following a campaign finance controversy regarding illegal contributions. Guinta narrowly defeated challenger Rich Ashooh in the Republican primary. The race remained uncalled Tuesday night, with Guinta leading by just over 1 percent of the vote. Ashooh conceded the race early on Wednesday despite there still being uncounted votes. Guinta will face another rematch with former Rep. Carol Shea-Porter (D) in the general election. The district is one of the country's most volatile battleground districts. It has swapped hands between Guinta and Shea-Porter in every election cycle since 2010.
    • District 2 is currently held by Annie Kuster (D). She is seeking re-election in 2016 and faced no primary opposition. Kuster will face Jim Lawrence (R) in the general election. The seat is rated safely Democratic in November.
  • Rhode Island held U.S. House primaries.
    • Rhode Island has two U.S. House districts. Both seats are currently held by the Democratic Party, and both races are rated safely Democratic in the general election. Both incumbents are seeking re-election in 2016, and they both easily defeated their primary challengers to advance to the general election.
  • Republican leaders in the U.S. Senate stated that Merrick Garland would not receive a confirmation hearing during a lame-duck session in 2016. Majority leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said, "We've already made it very clear that a nomination for the Supreme Court by this president will not be filled this year." Majority whip John Cornyn of Texas, when asked if there was any possibility Garland would be considered during the lame-duck session, responded, "No."
  • The Committee to Restore America’s Greatness, a pro-Donald Trump super PAC started by Republican operative and Trump ally Roger Stone, paid $25,000 for a 55-foot digital billboard of Trump as a superhero in Times Square. Joel Gilbert, creator of the ad, said, “You see Trump traveling the country on his airplane. He’s looking to solve people’s problems. … It’s giving power back to the people. Who is more American than Superman?”
  • Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte said that U.S. special forces troops must leave Mindanao, a group of islands in the southern Philippines, because they are “high-value targets for the Islamic State-linked Abu Sayyaf militants as counter-insurgency operations intensify.” The directive came a week after Duterte had harsh words for President Barack Obama, calling him a “son of a whore”—something for which he later apologized. Duterte said, "They [the U.S. troops] have to go. I do not want a rift with America. But they have to go. Americans, they will really kill them, they will try to kidnap them to get ransom." According to Reuters, “A spokesman for the U.S. State Department, John Kirby, said it was not aware of any official communication by Manila calling for a withdrawal. He said Washington remained committed to the alliance.”

State

  • State Rep. Jeremy Durham (R-65) was expelled from the Tennessee General Assembly in a 70-2 vote. Rep. Terri Lynn Weaver (R) and Rep. Courtney Rogers (R) were the only legislators to vote against the expulsion. Twenty other legislators abstained or were not present for the vote. It was the first time that a sitting member had been expelled from the legislature since 1980. He was expelled after the state attorney general's office released a report in July that found that Durham had inappropriate sexual conduct with 22 women affiliated with the legislature.

ELECTION NIGHT HIGHLIGHTS: The GOP gubernatorial primary in New Hampshire was narrowly decided; six incumbents were defeated in the Rhode Island legislative primary.

  • Primary election: New Hampshire
    • State executives: Executive Councilor Chris Sununu narrowly won the New Hampshire Republican primary for governor; the race was not called until Wednesday afternoon. Sununu edged out state Sen. Frank Edelblut by about 1,000 votes—a margin of less than 1 percent. Edelblut was eligible to apply to the secretary of state for a recount by Friday at 5 p.m.; however, he conceded the race the same day the results were announced. Executive Councilor Colin Van Ostern won the Democratic nomination; the two councilors will compete for the governorship in November. The race is rated as a Toss-up.
    • State legislature: In the state Senate, only one incumbent, Sharon Carson (R-14), faced a primary challenge. Carson defeated challenger Ludwig Haken (R). In Senate District 8, Ruth Ward (R) defeated Jim Beard (R) by only nine votes. Ross Terrio defeated two other candidates in District 18, with a margin of only 15 votes separating him from the second-place winner. In both of those districts, a recount may be requested. In the House, nine Republican incumbents were defeated in the primary election. Four of those nine lost in the election for Rockingham 6. A total of 124 incumbents faced challengers, meaning about 7 percent of the state’s challenged incumbents lost in the primary. New Hampshire currently has a divided government, having a Democratic governor (Maggie Hassan) but a Republican-controlled House and Senate. In order for the state to change to a Democratic trifecta, Democrats would have to overcome the Republicans’ four-seat majority in the Senate and 79-seat majority in the House. This is realistically possible, as the New Hampshire State Legislature has seen large swings in recent years.
  • Primary election: Delaware
    • State executives: Three state executive offices are up for election. U.S Congressman John Carney was unopposed for the Democratic nomination for governor and automatically advanced to the general election. He will compete with state Sen. Colin Bonini—who won the Republican nomination—in the general election, which is rated Safe Democratic. State Sen. Bethany Hall-Long won the six-candidate race for lieutenant governor; she will face La Mar Gunn (R) in the general election. Democrats have held the seat since 1993.
    • Incumbent Insurance Commissioner Karen Weldin Stewart (D) lost the Democratic nomination to challenger Trinidad Navarro. Stewart has not historically been a party favorite; in 2012, the state Democratic Party endorsed a primary challenger, Mitch Crane (D), despite Stewart's incumbency, though she defeated him in the primary and went on to win the general election. Navarro will compete with business owner Jeff Cragg (R)—who won the Republican nomination—in November. While it is too late for Stewart to run in the general election as an independent and have her name appear on the ballot, she can file to run as a write-in candidate no later than September 30.
    • State legislature: In the Senate, there were only two primary contests, both in the Democratic Party. One incumbent, Darris McDowell (D-1), faced a challenger and won. In the House, there were seven primary elections, with incumbents facing challengers in five of them. No incumbents were defeated. Delaware is one of seven states under a Democratic trifecta, meaning the state has a Democratic governor as well as a Democrat-controlled House and Senate. Although possible, it is not likely that Republicans will take control of either chamber in the November general elections.
  • Primary election: New York
    • State legislature: In the Senate, seven incumbents faced primary challengers, but none were defeated. All 63 seats are up for re-election in November. In the State Assembly, 27 incumbents faced primary challengers. Three Democratic incumbents were defeated: Margaret Markey (D-30), Alice Cancel (D-65), and Guillermo Linares (D-72). Incumbent Bill Nojay (R-133), who died on September 9, still appeared on the primary ballot in accordance with New York law. He won the election, meaning Republican leaders from the three jurisdictions that intersect his district were allowed to choose his replacement on the November ballot. They selected Joe Errigo (R), who previously represented HD 130. New York currently has a divided government, with a Democratic governor (Andrew Cuomo), a Republican-controlled Senate, and a Democrat-controlled House.
    • In order for the New York state government to change to a Democratic trifecta, Democrats would have to gain at least one seat to take the majority in the Senate. Republicans have the benefit of support from the Independent Democratic Conference, a five-member coalition of Democrats who have helped Republicans retain power in the Senate. If Democrats gain a majority in the Senate in November, it is not clear if IDC members will continue to aid Republicans.
  • Primary election: Rhode Island
    • State legislature: In the Senate, six incumbents faced primary challengers. Two of those—Juan Pichardo (D) of District 2 and William Walaska (D) of District 30—were defeated by their opponents. In District 17, a primary was held in which four Democrats competed to challenge the unopposed Republican newcomer, Thomas Paolino, in November. Jina Petrarca-Karampetsos (D) won and will challenge Paolino for an open seat last held by a Republican. In the House, 12 incumbents faced primary opposition. Four more Democratic incumbents were defeated, including House Majority Leader John DeSimone. In District 13, Ramon Perez (D) defeated two primary opponents and will proceed to the general election in November, where Perez will compete for an open seat last held by a Democrat. In total, one-third of the incumbents challenged in the Rhode Island primary election—six out of 18—were defeated. All six of these incumbents were Democrats. DeSimone and Jan Malik from House District 67 were targeted by a mailer sent out by an anti-gun violence group.
  • The New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance ordered health insurer Health Republic Insurance of New Jersey, one of 23 co-ops established under the Affordable Care Act, to close at the end of 2017. Regulators made the decision to shut down the co-op due to the $46.3 million it owes to the federal government under the risk adjustment program. The 35,000 enrollees insured by the co-op will need to find new coverage during open enrollment this fall. The co-op’s exit will leave two insurers offering plans on New Jersey’s health insurance exchange, down from five in 2016. Only six co-ops remain in operation nationwide.
  • The Kansas Supreme Court heard oral arguments in a lawsuit against a bill passed by the legislature in 2014 that repealed teacher tenure in the state. The Kansas National Education Association argued that the measure had been attached to an appropriations bill, violating a provision in the state constitution that prohibits passing bills dealing with multiple topics. Solicitor General Stephen McAllister countered that the bill did not violate the constitution because it did deal with one topic—education—and that the constitution exempts appropriations bills from the rule. He also argued that the teachers union did not have standing to sue because it failed to show that any teachers had been harmed by the bill. A lower court had found that the union did have standing to sue, but dismissed the case after finding that the bill did not violate the state’s constitution.

  • Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti (D) announced that the Los Angeles Rams would assume the cost of all security officers at football games. Prior to this announcement, the Rams paid for in-stadium security officers, while the city paid for any officers outside of the stadium. Without this agreement, the city would have paid more than $2 million over the course of the season. The University of Southern California has a similar agreement for its football games, although USC is not expected to assume all the costs as the professional team has agreed to do. The city’s budget for the 2016-2017 fiscal year amounted to $8.75 billion in expenditures. Los Angeles is the second-largest city in the United States by population and the largest in California.
  • Led by Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton (D), a coalition of more than 75 mayors from across the country petitioned Congress for increased funding to combat the Zika virus. Senior Republican lawmakers and officials believe a vote could take place soon on a $1.1 billion funding package for that purpose. Delays to a vote occurred because of contentious Planned Parenthood funding that had been inserted into the bill. In a press release, the group said that “September is peak mosquito season, and your communities are counting on you.”
    • Click here to read the responses of presidential candidates to the Zika virus.
  • New York held a primary election for 10 local judicial offices across the state. None of the 19 candidates who competed in the primaries were incumbents. New York’s fusion-style voting meant that candidates could run for the nomination on multiple party ballots. This led to candidates who were primarily running as a Democrat or Republican vying for the nominations of many minor parties as well. Winners of these primaries will compete in the general election on November 8, 2016.
  • In Washington state, Superior Court Judge Blaine Gibson dismissed a recall petition against Spokane Mayor David Condon. Gibson ruled that there was insufficient evidence of malfeasance or misfeasance in the four charges brought by Spokane resident David Green. Green filed a petition seeking Condon's recall due to allegations that the mayor withheld information during an investigation of Police Chief Frank Straub. State law requires a recall petition to show proof of malfeasance or misfeasance before signature gathering is initiated.
  • In Colorado, organizers of a recall against Castle Rock Councilwoman Renee Valentine withdrew their question from the November ballot. Valentine was initially targeted for recall over her opposition to an initiative allowing public votes on land annexations. Valentine was one of three council members targeted for recall in 2016, but only one member (Paul Donahue) faced a vote, which was unsuccessful.

Federal

  • The final congressional primaries of the election cycle will take place on Tuesday in Delaware, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island.
  • Delaware will hold U.S. House primaries.
  • New Hampshire will hold congressional primaries.
    • The U.S. Senate seat currently held by Kelly Ayotte (R) is up for election in 2016. Ayotte is seeking re-election and will face four primary challengers on Tuesday. The winner of the Republican primary will face Gov. Maggie Hassan (D) in the general election. New Hampshire is one of the nine Senate battleground races that will determine which party will control the Senate.
    • There are two House districts in New Hampshire. Control of the state’s congressional districts is currently divided, and each party holds one congressional district.
    • District 1 is currently held by Frank Guinta (R). Guinta is seeking re-election despite calls for his resignation from Republicans following a campaign finance controversy regarding illegal contributions. Guinta will face four primary challengers on Tuesday. The winner of the primary will face former Rep. Carol Shea-Porter (D) in the general election. The district is one of the country's most volatile battleground districts. It has swapped hands between Guinta and Shea-Porter in every election cycle since 2010.
    • District 2 is currently held by Annie Kuster (D). She is seeking re-election in 2016 and faces no primary opposition. Seven Republicans are competing in the primary for a chance to face her in the general election. The seat is rated safely Democratic in November.
  • Rhode Island will hold U.S. House primaries.
    • Rhode Island has two U.S. House districts. Both seats are currently held by the Democratic Party, and both races are rated safely Democratic in the general election. Both incumbents are seeking re-election in 2016, and they will each face at least one primary challenger.

State

  • Primary election: Delaware
    • State executives: Three state executive offices are up for election in 2016: governor, lieutenant governor, and insurance commissioner. Incumbent Governor Jack Markell (D) is term-limited and ineligible for re-election; U.S. Congressman John Carney was the sole Democrat to file for the race, which is currently rated safely Democratic. Two Republicans will vie for their parties' nomination. The lack of competitiveness in the race for governor is contentious this year. Republican candidate Colin Bonini has called Carney’s unopposed candidacy in the Democratic primary a “coronation,” while news outlets have criticized the automatic nomination as a feature of “The Delaware Way,” a term used to describe a long history of unopposed primaries in the state. Incumbent Insurance Commissioner Karen Weldin Stewart (D) is seeking a third term in office and will face a primary challenge from New Castle County sheriff Trinidad Navarro; businessman Jeff Cragg and former Sussex County Clerk of the Peace George Parish will compete for the Republican nomination. Parish earned statewide recognition in 2011 for stating that he would refuse to honor a proposed state law that would legalize same-sex civil unions in Delaware. He later complied with the legislation after it was passed.
    • The Democratic primary for lieutenant governor has attracted an unusually large candidate field in 2016. The office has been vacant since Matthew Denn (D) stepped down to become the state's attorney general in January 2015. Democrats have controlled the seat since 1993, and 2016 marks the first competitive primary election for lieutenant governor for either major party in over 30 years. Six candidates, all of whom have previously been elected to a local or statewide position, are competing for the Democratic nomination. Republican La Mar Gunn is unopposed in the primary election. Delaware is one of seven Democratic trifectas.
  • State legislature: In the Senate, there are only two primary challenges. Both of these challenges are between Democrats. In District 1, Joseph McCole will face incumbent Harris McDowell. In District 9, two challengers—Caitlin Olsen and Jack Walsh—will compete for an open seat most recently held by Karen Peterson (D).
    • In the House, there will be seven primary challenges. In five of these primaries, incumbents face primary challengers. There will be five Democratic primaries and two Republican primaries.
  • Primary election: New Hampshire
    • State executives: The office of governor is the only state executive race in 2016. New Hampshire governors serve two-year terms and incumbent Maggie Hassan (D) is running for a seat in the U.S. Senate, leaving the gubernatorial election an open race. Five Democrats and five Republicans are vying for their parties' nominations. Executive Councilor Chris Sununu (R), son of former Governor John Sununu, has placed first in every poll, including hypothetical general election matchups. However, he faces a considerable challenge in the Republican primary election: state Sen. Frank Edelblut has earned several key endorsements from prominent advocacy groups, including the left-leaning Marijuana Policy Project—which could earn him the support from the more moderate Republicans in the state—and Manchester Mayor Ted Gatsas reported over $1 million in contributions as of August 24, over twice the amount that Sununu has raised.
    • The Democratic primary election is also competitive, though Executive Councilor Colin Van Ostern has a clear lead in both fundraising and endorsements. Former Deputy Secretary of State Mark Connolly trails Van Ostern in fundraising, reporting about $550,000 in contributions compared to Van Ostern's $1.1 million, but has picked up a few key endorsements, as has Portsmouth Mayor Steve Marchand. New Hampshire currently has a divided government: if a Democrats lose the governorship, Republicans could pick up a trifecta. Alternatively, in Democrats retain the governorship and pick up majorities in the Senate and House—both are battleground chambers in 2016—Democrats could gain a trifecta. The general election is currently rated as a toss-up.
  • State legislature: In the Senate, there will be 11 primary contests. Three of these contests will be among Democrats, while the other eight will occur between Republicans. Of these primaries, there will only be one in which an incumbent is challenged. This is in District 14, where incumbent Sharon Carson (R) will face challenger Ludwig Haken.
    • In the House, 124 incumbents will face primary competition. There are 400 seats up for election in November, and 103 incumbents are not seeking re-election. The New Hampshire House of Representatives is the largest state legislative chamber in the country. The second-largest, the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, has 203 seats.
  • Primary election: New York
    • State legislature: In the Senate, there are seven incumbents facing primary challengers. There are 50 incumbents running unopposed in the primary election.
    • In the State Assembly, there are 27 incumbents who will face opposition in the primary. Eleven incumbents did not seek re-election, two seats are vacant, and another 110 incumbents are set to advance past the primary without opposition.
    • Despite Democrats’ single-seat numerical majority, the Senate is controlled by Republican lawmakers through a power-sharing agreement. Democrats have a 64-seat majority in the House. Due to the Republican control of the Senate, New York is considered to be one of 20 states with a divided government.
  • Primary election: Rhode Island
    • State legislature: In the Senate, there will be nine primary contests. Incumbents are facing opposition in six of these primaries. In the District 17 Democratic primary, five Democrats will face off for the open seat left by a Republican incumbent.
    • In the House, 15 incumbents will face primary challenges. In District 13, four Democratic candidates will compete for an open seat last held by a Democrat.
    • Democrats have significant majorities in both chambers of the legislature. Gina Raimondo is the current Democratic governor of Rhode Island. The state is one of seven Democratic state government trifectas.
  • The South Carolina State Ethics Commission will hold a hearing regarding allegations that Treasurer Curtis Loftis (R) failed to disclose a personal relationship with an attorney he hired to represent the treasurer's office in a securities lawsuit against the Bank of New York Mellon in 2014. At the time, Michael Montgomery, the attorney in question, served on the board of a nonprofit with Loftis; Montgomery was paid $2 million upon resolution of the lawsuit. According to the state's ethics regulations, an elected official is prohibited from using his or her office for financial gains for "himself, a family member, an individual with whom he is associated, or a business with whom he is associated." Loftis has denied the charges. The commission had initially planned to schedule a public hearing on the matter; Tuesday's hearing will instead be private.

  • New York will hold a primary election for 10 judicial offices across the state. None of the 19 candidates competing in the primaries are incumbents. New York’s fusion-style voting means that candidates may run for nomination from multiple parties. This often leads to candidates who are primarily running as a Democrat or Republican vying for the nominations of many third parties as well. Winners of this primary will advance to the general election on November 8.
