Joe Arpaio, who was pardoned by Trump over two years ago, says he has officially filed election papers in a bid to win back his former position as sheriff of Maricopa County in Arizona
On Tuesday, Arpaio, who calls himself"America's toughest Sheriff," submitted nearly 10,000 petition signatures, more than double needed to qualify for the local primary, according to his campaign. In August, he announced he would seek reelection. Arpaio thanked his supporters in a statement Wednesday, saying,"I will work tirelessly to earn each and every vote from the people of Maricopa County.
"I'm honored to be the longest serving Sheriff in Maricopa County history and look forward to continue to serve the public at this critical time."Arpaio lost his reelection bid for sheriff in 2016 and was found guilty of criminal contempt a year later for ignoring a court order in a racial profiling case. Arpaio, the first person pardoned by Trump in 2017, attempted a Senate run in 2018, but lost to Martha McSally in the Republican primary.

Joe Biden and Jake Tapper Found Some Time to Bicker About the Vampire CoughSelf-isolation is making us all a bit testy. For some politicians, that crabbiness comes out in the form of whining that we should just let some people die so the rest of us can go outside and trade stocks already. For others, like CNN correspondent Jake Tapper and Joe Biden, the lack of staff or bystanders around for audience has resulted in two grown men used to being unequivocally listened to having to explain things, like proper coughing procedure, to each other on live television.\n
