Following his historic White House summit, Japan's prime minister sat down for an exclusive Newsweek interview, weighing in on China, COVID, economic recovery, the Olympics and his budding friendship with Joe Biden.

The ex-president seems calm, friends say, but he's busy making plans to defeat "disloyal" Republicans in 2022.

Four years of loyalty to Donald Trump won't give Pence cover: if he ratifies the 2020 election count in his role as president of the Senate, he'll anger the president and Trump's most ardent fans.

The president's rage at the media and Democrats, and criticism that he is "delegitimizing" Biden's win, have hardened his resolve to get revenge four years from now.

As his hopes of winning re-election dwindled, the president's campaign filed a flurry of stop-the-count lawsuits. The effort is a "Hail Mary," says one staffer.

Let's party like it's 2016! Covid-19 cases are surging, but the Trump campaign will hold multiple rallies in the campaign's final week, saying people want their "normal life" back.

President Trump's camp has its own concerns, like not getting so obsessed with Biden's son that he forgets to tout the economy.

The president's data-driven campaign workers want to know if you go to church or have a hunting or fishing license. Here's why.

The Tuesday night debate was a mess and snap polls gave the win to Biden. Still, the Trump campaign has plans to make use of several moments.

The president relies on McConnell, Graham and a few others to help him keep his campaign promise to fill the federal courts with conservative judges. Now they're determined to appoint a third SCOTUS justice.
