On this date in: 1773: Parliament passed the Tea Act in an effort to save the East India Company from its financial woes. Later that year, fallout from the mea- sure led American colonists in Boston to organize the Boston Tea Party. 1775: During the Revolutionary War, Ethan Allen and Benedict Arnold led the Green Mountain Boys in the cap- ture of Fort Ticonderoga from the Brit- ish. Cannons and more were taken from the fort to Boston to bolster the colonists there. 1865: Confederate President Jefferson Davis was captured by Union Troops near Irwinville, Georgia.

Davis had planned to escape to Texas and build a new Confederacy, but he was captured by Union forces despite wearing a disguise, his cloak and shawl. 1869: The United States was connect- ed from coast to coast by the first transcontinental railroad. The ceremo- nial Golden Spike was driven during a ceremony on Promontory Summit in Utah Territory to mark the joining of the Union Pacific and Central Pacific railways. 1872: Victoria Woodhull was nominated by the Equal Rights Party, which she had helped establish, as a candidate for president. She is considered the first woman to run for president in the U.S., though women had not yet been allowed to vote.

The suffragist aimed to change that. The party nominated Fredrick Douglas for vice president, but he did not acknowledge the nomi- nation. 1924: J. Edgar Hoover began his 48- year tenure leading the FBI when he was appointed acting director of the Bureau of Investigation, which was later renamed. He was promoted to director later in the year.

1940: Winston Churchill became prime minister of the United Kingdom after the resignation of Neville Chamberlain. 1962: Marvel Comics published its first issue of Incredible 1975: Sony released its Betamax video cassette recorder in Japan. 1994: Serial killer John Wayne Gacy, convicted of 33 counts of murder, was executed by lethal injection. TODAY IN HISTORY he lost those states four years ago by more than 7 and 10 percentage points, respectively. Meanwhile, President Joe allies say Florida and North Carolina, which Trump won in 2020, are in play this time around though polls in both states show a challenge for Democrats.

Head fakes are designed to energize the base and intimidate the opposi- tion, or at least goad it into wasting time and resources in a long-shot area. about creating the said political analyst Stuart Rothenberg, a senior editor with Inside Elections. wants to claim momen- tum, growth and faux As with elections past, both major party campaigns this year are citing polls showing they have real chances in states they previously lost and ac- cusing the other side of head faking. Trump campaign senior adviser Chris LaCivita said the Biden cam- paign is a faux in Flori- da and North Carolina, while the Trump internal polls say it has real to pick up Minne- sota and Virginia. The Biden campaign says the de- bate over abortion rights will propel it in Trump-favored Florida and North Carolina.

Both Biden and Vice Presi- dent Kamala Harris have visited the states in recent weeks. A March memo from the Biden campaign said that campaign will also seize on opportunities in states where the Biden-Harris coalition is uniquely strong and the extreme MA- GA agenda is increasingly unpopular like Nevertheless, the polling in these areas is very early and subject to change. The Real Clear Politics average of recent polls gives Trump leads in North Carolina (5.4%) and Florida The RCP average in Virginia puts Bi- den ahead by 4.3 percentage points. In Minnesota, a poll gave Biden a lead, pretty much a dead heat given the margin of error in the survey. Six battleground states Trump and Biden generally agree that the election will turn on six core battleground states: Pennsylva- nia, Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia, Ar- izona and Nevada.

Biden carried all six of those states in 2020. Trump contested the results there, including that led to his federal- and state-level indictments on charges of trying to steal the elec- tion. Trump is currently spending his days on trial in a New York City court- room over separate charges related to hush money and improper to in- the 2016 election. Stuck in New York for the case, Trump has improvised campaign events in the city and claimed he will make a play for the state of New York, though that seems the longest of long shots. Biden carried New York state in 2020 by more than 23 percentage points.

Throughout the proceedings, Trump has protested that the trial has prevent- ed him from campaigning in important states, including ones making a play for. On April 15, the day the hush money trial started, Trump complained, not in Georgia or Florida or North Caroli- na campaigning like I should Head fakes of the past Perhaps the most famous head fake in political history came during presidential run in 2016. Late in the campaign, Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton traveled to Arizona, then con- sidered a reliable Republican state. When Clinton failed to win Arizona, she was widely criticized for neglecting states like Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania all of which Trump won, narrowly, en route to victory in the Elec- toral College. President Barack Obama was not faking when he bid for North Carolina in 2008.

He actually won the Tar Heel State, the only Democrat to do so since Jimmy Carter in 1976. Obama also car- ried Florida in both 2008 and 2012. Democrats talk about flipping Texas but likely Claiming you can win the other can- state is an old tactic, said cam- paign past and present. always make noises like going to take Texas this and they never said Tim Mur- taugh, communications director for the Trump campaign in 2020. As for his side, Murtaugh cited polls showing Trump ahead in most, if not all, battleground states.

anyone can talk about winning states he win last time, he said. Simon Rosenberg, a Democratic strategist who backs Biden, pointed out that many state polls are within the sur- margin of error. He also said that the incumbent president is gaining on the former president, thanks to issues like abortion rights and sweep- ing legal charges. Democrats say Trump and his aides are exaggerating poll numbers, criticiz- ing them for claiming he contest- ed states four years ago. The former president has long made false claims about the 2020 race for the White House, calling the contest with- out evidence.
