Why should you vote red: Was the 25th Amendment invoked or not?

By Abraham Hilu | Nov. 5

Election day, Nov. 5, will be the central event that will forecast American policy for the next four years.

By Abraham Hilu | July 8

The presidential debate June 27 presented a clearer picture of what both candidates have in mind for policies in the United States. A general concluding theme is President Joe Biden is mentally compromised, while former President Donald Trump arguably performed one of his best presidential debates. People from both parties realize Biden doesn’t have the strength to continue the most demanding job in the country.

Donald Trump: Grievance or rightful justice?

By Abraham Hilu | June 10

CORRECTION: This column has been updated to state the case's prosecutor was Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and state that former President Donald Trump was found guilty on all 34 counts. The columnist originally wrote that New York Attorney General Letitia James was the plaintiff and did not reference the guilty sentencing. The Alligator corrected the column incorrectly by identifying Alvin Bragg as the Manhattan Defense Attorney and the plaintiff of the case.
