As election day draws nearer, non-local Notre Dame students are sending mail-in ballots back home to cast their vote, many for the first time. The issues they care about are varied, though abortion, both for pro-choice and pro-life students, is a common concern among students. First-year Theo Austin, who sent his absentee ballot back to

You wouldn’t be alone in associating religion with the Republican Party and secularism with the Democratic Party. Over the last several decades, the rise of the Religious Right has cemented the fact that the Republican Party is dominated by white evangelicals inserting religious views into the party platform.

One of the most remarkable things about politics is what it does to people, rather than for them.

We’re barely a month into 2019, but judging from the news cycle in recent days you’d think it was 2020. Indeed, with ambitious Democrats lining up to announce their bids for the White House, 2019 is starting to look a lot like the new 2020. But if it feels way too early to be talking

This past Wednesday, the series of debates between presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump drew to a close. But on Tuesday night, debate between students at Notre Dame raged on. In a packed auditorium in DeBartolo Hall, sophomore Prathm Juneja, representing Democrats, and junior Will Lederer, representing Republicans, debated in an event sponsored by

The thousands of people gathered in South Bend’s Century Center on Sunday night could “feel the Bern,” according to Notre Dame sophomore Casey Kennedy. “Really — the room was so hot, I felt like I was going to pass out,” she said. An overflow crowd of more than 4,000 people attended a Bernie Sanders rally
