President Trump is trying to win over suburban women — or, as he likes to put it, "suburban housewives." Is his message shoring up their support? What women are saying in the suburbs of Milwaukee.

Kamala Harris' candidacy is different from earlier female running mates — she is the first woman of color and the first chosen by a candidate who isn't trailing in the polls.

Democrats planned for their convention to be in Milwaukee, where they didn't inspire enough Black voters in 2016. But Black voters say they have other things on their minds now than the election.

There are a lot of contrasts between Joe Biden's impending pick and past elections when women were vice presidential candidates. One that's easy to overlook: Biden is ahead in the polls.

The central bank has blunt instruments at its disposal, which are not tailored to economics of different racial groups. Biden wants the Fed to more explicitly factor in Black and Hispanic outcomes.

Mattel has released iterations of presidential Barbie since 1992, and this year she has a whole campaign team. In an exclusive interview, those women discuss why Barbie has never won the White House.

Mothers can be powerful forces in activism, and stereotypes about moms, as well as race, have long played a role in shaping that power — as well as who gets to wield it.

One aspect of the Portland protests getting a lot of attention has been the "wall of moms" opposing federal law enforcement. They are part of a long history of mothers leading activism.

Trump is building a political case around suburban identity that's targeting mostly white voters. He is also planning to repeal an Obama-era housing rule that is aimed to combat racial bias.

The president has been talking a lot about suburbs lately, in particular about an Obama-era rule to limit housing discrimination. It appears to be a fear-based tactic to win swing voters.

Though their stories encourage gawking, at least one throughline sticks after reading Sisters — the ugly deal these women have made with a movement that is ultimately ambivalent toward them.

Seven years ago, Republicans wrote a plan for long-term electoral success. Then, President Trump won in 2016 without following some of its key tenets.

President Trump and Democratic candidate Joe Biden are focused on the economy this week. The trajectory of the economy has often swayed presidential elections, but that appears to be changing.

Presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden unveiled his economic recovery plan Thursday. He outlined steps for immediate relief, with a focus on mobilizing manufacturing in the United States.

Conventional wisdom (and some logic) says that a bad economy will hurt President Trump in November. But growing polarization may be severing the tie between economic health and voters' choices.

Several candidates supportive of the fringe conspiracy theory, including Colorado's Lauren Boebert, have won Republican primaries for congressional seats.

Women have slowly made economic gains over the last half-century, and the gender wage gap is as narrow as it has ever been. But coronavirus could reverse those gains, and motherhood is a big reason.

The gender wage gap is narrower than it has ever been. But with schools and daycares closed during the pandemic, economic inequalities between genders may widen for years to come.

The coronavirus recession is the second — or even third — economic downturn of millennials' adult lives. That could mean reduced wages for life.

In Minneapolis, where Floyd died, a semitrailer drove into a crowd of protesters on an interstate. Authorities in Kentucky say a man was killed as security forces confronted a crowd early Monday.
