Monday night’s debate here was a tremendous victory for Donald Trump, but his performance left plenty of room for improvement.

Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump enter their first debate Monday night with new terrorist attacks fresh in voters’ minds and another U.S. city burning.

Edward J. Snowden, the man who exposed the federal government’s surveillance of millions of innocent Americans in the name of national security, is the subject of a major new film and a growing effort to have him pardoned for revealing some of the nation’s top secrets.

It’s hard to remember a time when the debates were so critical to the outcome of a presidential election.
