TRUMP -RACE: President Trump’s refusal to outright condemn the Proud Boys is far from the first time he has failed to directly denounce white supremacists or promoted racist ideas. UPCOMING: 900 words, photos by 5 p.m.
SENT/DEVELOPING:
ELECTION 2020- DEBATE: The first debate between President Donald Trump and Democratic challenger Joe Biden deteriorated into bitter taunts and near chaos Tuesday night.

SENT: 1300 words, photos.
ELECTION 2020 - DEBATE -ANALYSIS: President Trump needed to make the first general election debate about Joe Biden. Instead, as he so often does, Trump made it about himself. SENT: 975 words, photos.
ELECTION 2020- DEBATE -MEDIA: The presidential debate commission says it will make changes to future debate formats to avoid a repeat of the disjointed first meeting between President Trump and Joe Biden. Moderator Chris Wallace struggled to keep control of the debate because of frequent interruptions, primarily by the president. SENT: 840 words, photos.
ELECTION 2020 - MAIL VOTING: President Trump continued his assault on the integrity of the U.S. elections during the first presidential debate, spreading falsehoods about the security of voting and misrepresenting issues with mail ballots. SENT: 630 words, photos.
ELECTION 2020-DEBATE-FACT CHECK: A look at how some of the candidates’ statements from Cleveland stack up with the facts in the first of three scheduled presidential debates for the Nov. 3 election. SENT: 2900 words, photos.
ELECTION 2020 -DEBATE-RACE: Trump didn’t condemn white supremacist groups and their role in violence in some American cities this summer, branding it solely a “left-wing” problem. The president acknowledged one far-right extremist group, Proud Boys, by name. The group’s leaders and supporters later celebrated the president’s words on social media. SENT: 560 words, photos.
ELECTION 2020: President Trump and Joe Biden continued their debate-stage clash from afar on Wednesday as they competed for working-class voters in the Midwest and elected officials in both parties — and the debate commission, too — sought to deal with the most chaotic presidential faceoff in memory. SENT: 1090 words, photos.
ELECTION 2020 - LAWSUITS: Measuring the anxiety over the November election is as simple as tallying the hundreds of lawsuits filed in the months before it. The lawsuits concern the core fundamentals of the American voting process, including how ballots are cast and counted. SENT: 1080 words, photos.
TRUMP -TAX-RETURNS-UNDERFUNDED IRS: Revelations of President Trump’s near-zero federal income tax payments have underscored the ability of wealthy individuals with access to high-priced lawyers to outmatch an IRS that has long been understaffed and underfunded. SENT: 1090 words, photos.
EXPLAINING -ELECTION 2020-EARLY VOTING: Today’s question for AP’s Vision 2020: What states vote early and when are these votes counted? SENT: 230 words, graphic.
ELECTION 2020 - PENNSYLAVANIA -BALLOT -BOMBSHELLS: It appears that an election worker’s decision to throw out nine military ballots in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, amounted to a mistake and not “intentional fraud,” the state’s top elections official said Wednesday. SENT: 330 words
ELECTION 2020 - FLORIDA -MAIL-IN BALLOTS: Florida Democrats are building a substantial lead in mail-in ballot requests for November’s presidential election even as their registration advantage shrinks, but questions remain about whether that will be a boon for Biden as he tries to wrest the nation’s largest swing state from Trump.
