Franklin’s charm and charisma makes it easy for him to fill a room — and not just any room. In the fall, for example, he drew a standing-room-only crowd to the National Press Club in downtown Washington to watch the presidential debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former president Donald Trump while mixing, mingling and creating]]> https://hunewsservice.com/variety/health/court-orders-mediation-in-dc-suit-against-cosmetic-surgery-group/ Thu, 28 Nov 2024 16:39:50 +0000 http://hunewsservice.com/?p=18526 By Jordyn Britton Howard University News Service D.C.

With 14 House races remaining, Republicans have reached the 215-seat mark, while Democrats sit at 206 with 218 votes needed to win. “Never in my 30 years have I seen House races take this long]]> https://hunewsservice.com/news/national/disappointed-but-not-surprised-harris-walz-supporters-mourn-during-the-vice-presidents-concession-speech/ Thu, 07 Nov 2024 17:41:43 +0000 http://hunewsservice.com/?p=18378 By Jordyn Britton Howard University News Service Sobs could be heard throughout the crowd on the Yard at Howard University the day after the 2024 election determined that Donald J.

Although Trump claims to know nothing about Project 2025, the plan echoes for what he has been telling Americans on various issues such as the call to dismantle the Department of Education.
