Hello, Mr. Russ. I would like to know more about electoral college votes. Because now that the election is over, I want to know how it works. Sincerely yours,
Kensi
That's a great topic, Kensi! State electors will cast their votes in December. To learn more about that process, you can check out the article "Electoral College: The Race to 270" on News-O-Matic! We also interviewed electors from each political party!

Hey, Russ! What would happen if Donald Trump won the next presidential election in 2028?
Anthony
Hey, Anthony! Donald Trump is not able to run for president in 2028. In the United States, presidents can only be elected for two terms. This is because of the 22nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Donald Trump served his first term from 2017-2021. He will start his second term in 2025.

How early can you vote and do you have a choice to not vote?
Jhuss
How early you can vote depends on the state. For example, voters in Alabama can begin voting as early as September 11. And, yes, Americans can choose to vote or not to vote.
Russell Kahn
Hey Russ, Is there any way that Kamala Harris can win?

No, Olivia. Donald Trump earned enough votes in the election to become the next U.S. president.
Russell Kahn
Hi Russ. Do you know who the president is right now? Itβs ether Joe Biden or Donald Trump.

The U.S. president is still Joe Biden. Biden will remain in his role as president until January 20, 2025. Then Donald Trump will become the next U.S. president.

Hello, Russ. I want to say that I liked the Hello Kitty video and I did not know that it was Hello Kittyβs bday. Sincerely,

What is dark matter?
Campbell
Ooh, great question, Campbell! Dark matter is a very mysterious topic! Scientists think there are huge parts of the universe that are invisible to humans. These parts are made of "dark matter." However, there's still a lot that scientists don't know about dark matter. If you haven't yet, I'd suggest checking out the News-O-Matic article "New Light on Dark Matter" for more information! π

Hi, Russ. Why does rock turn into liquid?
Dezmond
Hi, Dezmond! A rock can turn into a liquid when it's heated up so much that it melts! All solid objects on Earth have something called a "melting point." That's the temperature at which a solid turns into a liquid!
