Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) went on CNN's "The Lead" and disagreed with Jake Tapper's assumption that "Vice-President Harris needs to let people know where she stands on specific policies and how her policies will affect them," saying "I advised both Harris and Walz to avoid doing anymore interviews. Their joy and unity campaign has already gotten them the lead in the polls." "You know, FDR, the greatest Democrat of all-time, ran on a similarly vague campaign with a catchy show tune 'Happy Days Are Here Again' and a non-specific 'new deal' and won in a landslide," Clyburn pointed out. "Why...

On Thursday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Deadline: White House,” Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) said that “everybody” accused 2024 Democratic presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris of being “too far to the right of center” when she ran for president the last time, but she’s really “right where the vast majority of the American people are.” Clyburn said, “[I]t’s kind of interesting, if you go back and look at her candidacy, back in 2019, before she dropped out of that race, everybody was saying at the time that she was too far to the right of center. Then, all of a sudden,...

Representative James Clyburn (D-SC) claimed Thursday on MSNBC’s “Deadline” that Vice President Kamala Harris has a broad base of support because “progressives love her, conservatives respect her.” Host Nicolle Wallace said, “We compare her to President Obama, whose campaign is similar in terms of the enthusiasm, but ideologically, she’s already rallied a much wider coalition. Her enthusiast supporters, include Bernie Sanders and Dick Cheney. I wonder if you can speak to the broadness, the broad base of support.”

On Wednesday’s broadcast of CNN’s “The Lead,” Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) stated that while 2024 Democratic presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris should do town hall-type discussions, but with one-on-one media interviews, “some times, you drill down into a question until there’s a word that’s uttered that can be used in a negative way.” Host Jake Tapper asked, “One thing we continue to hear from Democrats, supporters of Vice President Harris, is that she still needs to fill in some of the blanks more, let people know where she stands on specific policies and how her policies will affect them....

Representative James Clyburn (D-SC) said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that President Joe Biden will be admired for how civil rights icon Martin Luther King, Jr. is looked at. Clyburn said, “COVID-19 opened up some fault lines in this country, and we are about repairing them. That’s what Joe Biden did. And I think that people are going to look at Joe Biden much the way we look at Martin Luther King, Jr. when he said in his speech, ‘It does not matter how long you live, but how well you live.’ And I say the same thing about Joe...

On Friday’s edition of NBC’s “MTP Now,” Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) stated that he hopes Republicans will tie 2024 Democratic presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris to President Joe Biden’s record. Host Garrett Haake asked, “Do the last three years of that resume, her time as Vice President, work for her or against her? I know you’re very proud of the Biden administration record, but Republicans are absolutely going to try to hang elements of it around her neck going forward.”

On Friday’s “CNN News Central,” Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) stated that 2024 Democratic presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris should respond to the Trump campaign pointing to her prior remarks “With her record.” “But Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans just lie, lie, and lie.” Co-host Boris Sanchez asked, “[T]he Trump team is using some of Harris’ previous remarks about banning fracking, about demilitarizing the police, promoting Medicare for all to convince voters that she is a radical leftist. How do you think she should respond?”

On Monday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) argued that “People focused on the rising price of food,” but President Joe Biden “couldn’t do anything about” grocery prices. Clyburn said, “People focused on the rising price of food, yes. But he countered that — he couldn’t do anything about those grocery prices, but he could do something about the pharmaceutical prices. And he drove down the price of pharmaceuticals in a way that no president has ever done. And, once again, when Harry Truman left the presidency, he said the one thing that he regretted was not...

Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-SC) endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris on Sunday after President Joe Biden dropped out of the 2024 race. As Breitbart News reported Sunday, Joe Biden issued a history-making decision unseen since Democrat Lyndon Baines Johnson refused to seek reelection in 1968. “It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your President,” Biden’s statement read. “And while it has been my intention to seek re-election, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President...

Representative James Clyburn (D-SC) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that former President Donald Trump and Republicans are trying to turn the United States back to Jim Crow days. Clyburn said, “If you want to know how 45 will perform in the future, look at what he tried to do to get rid of the Affordable Care Act. What would that have done to our children and our senior citizens and others? We know what’s in his Project 2025 for his future. He can claim all he wants to they didn’t know what’s in it. He didn’t know...

U.S. elections are no longer about “votes,” modern elections in America are about “ballots”. As we have seen in several election cycles, the election winner is not the person who gets the most votes – the election winner is the person who collects, submits and ultimately counts the most ballots. The same is true for the presidential electoral victory; it’s the person who gets the most ballots, not votes. So, let us start by asking the right question: What is a representative from South Carolina doing in Wisconsin visiting ten key ballot counting precincts in three key cities, Madison, Milwaukee...

Once you see the strings on the marionettes you can never watch the performance and not see them. The same thing happens when you know the details of how ballots are different than votes, and how the ballots are manipulated.U.S. elections are no longer about “votes,” modern elections in America are about “ballots”. As we have seen in several election cycles, the election winner is not the person who gets the most votes – the election winner is the person who collects, submits and ultimately counts the most ballots.

Apparently, the polling about young black voters supporting Donald Trump is real enough to make Joe Biden’s race control officer and campaign co-chair start to demand action from the AME network, black elders and parents of young black voters.CTH readers well understand the role James Clyburn plays in the ballot counting process {GO DEEP}. However, in a recent interview with far-left NotUs.Org Representative Clyburn took the racial angst up a notch.The sub headline is “Black parents should be responsible for convincing Black youth to vote for Biden.”(NotUS) – There’s almost certainly no member of Congress more responsible for President Joe...

Rep. James Clyburn says that Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton will start appearing more frequently on the campaign trail for Joe Biden after the trio headlined a fundraiser in New York last week. The South Carolina congressman and Assistant Democratic Leader said the three presidents will come together to 'show defense of democracy' as Biden runs for reelection in 2024 against Donald Trump. Outside the fundraiser with Biden, Obama and Clinton, pro-Palestine protesters descended to object to the current administration's stance on the Israel-Hamas war.

Representative James Clyburn (D-SC) said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “José Díaz-Balart Reports” that the Democrats changed their presidential primary schedule because New Hampshire and Iowa do not “reflect the electorate of the United States of America.” Díaz-Balart asked, “Congressman, the speech comes days after the Democratic National Committee voted to make South Carolina the first primary state in 2024. What does this mean for South Carolina? What is the message that the Democratic Party is sending? Clyburn said, “Well, I think the message the Democratic Party is sending is very simple, that we have a very diverse country, a very diverse...

By now everyone knows the importance of James Clyburn in the 2024 election. Through his network, Clyburn controls the ballot counters in roughly 15 different urban areas. James Clyburn said earlier today the Democrats have until August 19th to replace Joe Biden through the open convention process. It does not seem coincidental that Clyburn would make this statement in combination with a letter sent by 24 professional democrats urging, imploring, Joe Biden to release his delegates and allow an open convention to determine the 2024 Democrat nominee. ... A group of two dozen former House Democrats has sent a letter...

On Friday’s broadcast of NBC’s “Today,” Biden Campaign Co-Chair Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) responded to a question on President Joe Biden doing fewer news conferences and interviews than his predecessors by stating that he thinks Biden “is pacing himself.” And that while Biden should do more town hall-style events, “I don’t want people to think that you’ve got to be going through the trials of a press conference.” Co-host Craig Melvin asked, “He’s done fewer news conferences than any president — the last seven presidents, fewer news conferences, fewer interviews like this. Do you think this White House has shielded...

Representative James Clyburn (D-SC) said Wednesday on CNN’s “Newsroom” that he would support a “mini primary” at the Democratic National Convention because the frontrunner to replace Joe Biden, Kamala Harris needed a “strong running mate.” Clyburn said, “There will definitely be other the candidates. My understanding is they’re 700 and uncommitted delegates and of course their delegates who declared. It would seem to me that any one of these people who aspire to be president who would like to see a contest take place, look at those 700 delegates who are now uncommitted and get into the acton. I do...

Rep. James Clyburn (D-S.C.) said in an interview that aired Tuesday he plans to talk to President Biden soon to give him an assessment of his “standing” with Americans in the wake of the president’s rough debate performance. “I did plan to … talk with him later today or … tomorrow morning,” Clyburn said in an interview with “The Hill” on NewsNation’s Blake Burman. “And I’m gonna tell him what I really feel.” Clyburn said he will tell the president “what his standing is with the American people” from the South Carolina Democrat’s perspective. Clyburn is often credited with the...

If he decides that and he has to decide that, or if the party pressures him to do that, how would you feel if they worked around and try to go around Kamala Harris because of her lack of...
