Republican Party

Rebranding Trump

The Republican Party’s National Convention marked a significant attempt to reshape the public perception of former President Donald Trump.

Gloves off

Already, he has assailed the man whose endorsement he had courted when he sought office in Florida for fiscal mismanagement and for having destroyed the lives of millions of Americans with his flawed Covid-19 mitigation policies.

Magic of elections

Parties representing aspirations of various segments of society are typical of identity politics which takes shape depending on various prevailing divisions in the society based on religion, language, caste, local culture, gender, ethnicity, socio-economic stratification and even shared wounds against a common enemy. The bigger the country, the more diversified is the society and stronger is the identity politics. India is no exception

While the President has the power to veto a Bill passed by Congress, a two-thirds majority in each house of the bicameral legislature can override this. The Democrat-dominated House of Representatives had already overturned the veto.
