How do you undo rumors and conspiracy theories? Research suggests that it's really, really hard — it may be that letting go of a conspiracy theory means letting go of who you think you are.

NPR's politics team annotated Trump's speech on immigration, which comes after a week of seeming to change direction on the issue.

Ahead of a major immigration speech, it's not entirely clear what Donald Trump's policies are. But maybe his voters just don't care.

The two major-party presidential candidates will be taking different approaches to reaching voters this week. Donald Trump has four rallies planned while Hillary Clinton is running ads on television.

The rural-urban split is one of the biggest demographic stories of the 2016 election.

An online volley of theories says that stools, stumbles and pillows are evidence that Hillary Clinton is in poor health.

While both candidates diverge vastly on many issues, they also have some surprising areas of agreement.

Clinton argued that her plan would boost the middle class while Trump's plan "would give trillions in tax cuts to big corporations, millionaires, and Wall Street money managers."

Last year, the candidate was dismissive of child care questions. But his daughter Ivanka has pressed for the issues and had a major role in his new proposals.

In a vision described as "Winning The Global Competition," the GOP nominee is proposing three tax brackets and would limit taxes on all forms of business income as well as end the estate tax.

Taking a cue from Khizr Khan's speech at the Democratic National Convention, protesters held up the booklets during a Trump speech in Portland, Maine.

Clinton still has far more cash in the bank, but Trump has caught up considerably.

On balance, Americans said Trump's convention made them less likely to vote for him. Clinton's convention, meanwhile, fared far better. What could that mean for the general election?

For many die-hard Bernie Sanders fans, the historic moment of Hillary Clinton's nomination inspired not ecstasy but conflicting feelings.

NPR's politics team has annotated Clinton's speech, providing analysis and context and fact-checking key portions.

President Obama will make the case for Hillary Clinton Wednesday night with about as many Americans approving of him as disapprove of him.

Bill Clinton had a formidable challenge on Tuesday: to sell the American people on one of the most disliked presidential nominees in political history.

The move will be a major sign of unity after Sanders' strong push for Clinton on Monday night

"He thinks he's a tough guy. Well, Donald, I worked in the mines with tough guys," said Richard Trumka, president of the AFL-CIO at the Democratic National Convention on Monday.
