NEW YORK CITY, New York – Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s re-launch in New York City on Saturday attracted 5,000 supporters, according to the New York Times, where the crowd listened to the former first lady at Four Freedoms Park on Roosevelt Island. In stark contrast to the 5,000 Clinton supporters was a group of roughly 50 anti-Hillary protesters.

The Economic Policy Institute is warning against granting President Obama fast-track trade authority through the Trade Promotion Authority.

“The secretive, hugely impacting Obamatrade deal is another behind-closed-doors fast-tracked D.C. deal that screams “don’t pass it ’til we know what’s in it!” Yet politicians are going along to get along, supporting Obama’s pet project while ignoring the public’s right to know what’s in this monumental international trade deal. This, despite the President’s track record proving he hasn’t got it in him to put American workers first,” Palin posted.

Following Thursday evening’s near-defeat of Obamatrade on a rule vote, Rep. Jim Bridenstine (R-OK) told Breitbart News exclusively that what had just happened was extraordinarily significant. “A lot of people in the media don’t understand the rule vote… it was

Some say GOP leaders are so eager to make a deal, they’re willing to take a hit by giving a big campaign issue to Democrats in 2016.

In an appearance Thursday on Fox and Friends, Ryan criticized Breitbart News and other conservative media including the highly influential Drudge Report, which have revealed the immigration and climate change provisions within President Obama’s trade agenda.

“I would rather Barack Obama not be negotiating for me right now, but he’s going to be there for about 20 more months, and this deal needs to be transparent, and that’s my greatest concern — is the lack of transparency in this piece of legislation,” Perry reportedly said in Iowa.

Discovered inside the huge tranche of secretive Obamatrade documents released by Wikileaks are key details on how technically any Republican voting for Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) that would fast-track trade deals like the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade deal would technically also be voting to massively expand President Obama’s executive authority when it comes to immigration matters.

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker — a likely GOP presidential candidate — wants to highlight how disconnected Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton is from the middle class.

“There’s some issues that he’s not probably as strong on as people would like,” Richard Sucher, an Iowa voter told Breitbart News, highlighting foreign affairs. “And the whole issue of defense. There are candidates that are much more knowledgeable and stronger on defense issues.”

Cruz’s decision to unload on Walker and Rubio might be the beginning of him opening a new aggressive level of campaigning. He’s largely avoided throwing elbows among his fellow 2016 contenders until this point.

Sergeant Ludwig with the Iowa State Patrol says authorities are digging into the bomb threats made Saturday in Polk County and Boone County during Sen. Joni Ernst’s (R-IA) Roast and Ride event, where seven GOP presidential candidates delivered speeches.

At a weekend event in the first-in-the-nation caucus state of Iowa, Dr. Ben Carson seemed to draw the biggest crowd of reporters and supporters.

BOONE, Iowa — Republican presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson dismissed the Washington Post article published Friday claiming there is “turmoil” inside his campaign.

R.D. Lampe with the Boone, Iowa police department confirms exclusively to Breitbart News that a bomb threat was called in to the Iowa Roast and Ride with a voice recorder. He later added that as that event was ending, a second bomb threat was called to authorities in Polk County. Lampe says that when bomb threats are made, it’s usually difficult to track down the caller. He says a number can be traced, but it’s usually a throw-away phone.

GOP presidential candidate Carly Fiorina reacted to the cyber-security hack Friday by saying, “Our Federal government is increasingly inept.”

A new Gravis Marketing poll suggests at least two GOP presidential candidates could defeat Hillary Clinton in Iowa during the 2016 general election — Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee. The poll also reveals how the GOP candidates are stacking up against one another — and individually against Clinton.

“I’m looking forward to bringing together our great line up of speakers and caucus-goers alike to hear what these leaders have to say about how to get our country growing again and what we need to do to ensure America remains a strong, stabilizing force around the globe,” Ernst told Breitbart News.

In an effort to beat any political attacks on her finances – something Democrats used against Mitt Romney in 2012 – Fiorina also released copies of her federal tax returns for 2012 and 2013 as well as a copy of her Public Financial Disclosure.

President Obama, in his push to pass the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP), said it would keep China from controlling the region – encouraging the Senate to pass the Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) last month, which allows him to fast-track negotiations and finalize the TPP.
