Share the latest from the campaign trail.           What was the first presidential election held on the same day in every state? a. 1792→ b. 1824→ c. 1848→ d. 1912→ Notable Quote of the Day “The highly educated urban Democrats may be the most vocal, particularly on Twitter. But it is the working-class in places like Beaver County who may ultimately decide Trump’s fate. None of the dozen or so union workers interviewed at a protest [of a power plant closure] late last week had Twitter accounts. None had four-year college degrees. And few were committed to voting Democrat in 2020, although most were registered as such.” – Steve Peoples, Associated Press Democrats The Democratic National Committee released the criteria for the November presidential primary debate.
