Failed vice presidential candidate Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) admitted during a recent interview he can sometimes be “a train wreck.” In an article published by New York Magazine, the Intelligencer told Walz “It doesn’t feel like the party was very bold when you and Harris got on the ticket in the latter half of the 2024 campaign.” Walz said he thinks they are “cautious by nature,” adding that “I said this and I told the vice-president, I said I know my strengths and weaknesses. I said about 90 percent of the time, I can be really good, but about...

President Donald Trump endorsed conservative Wisconsin Supreme Court candidate Brad Schimel on Friday during early voting and ahead of the highly consequential election on April 1. “WISCONSIN: There is a very important Election for State Supreme Court on April 1st, and Early Voting is now underway,” Trump said in a post to Truth Social. He went on: Brad Schimel is running against Radical Left Liberal Susan Crawford, who has repeatedly given child molesters, rapists, women beaters, and domestic abusers “light” sentences. She is the handpicked voice of the Leftists who are out to destroy your State, and our Country —...

Several climate change protests erupted Thursday during the Democratic National Committee’s (DNC) final chair candidate forum before the party selects a new leader, prompting the MSNBC moderators to plead with the activists in the crowd to stop the disruptions. Multiple protesters had to be physically dragged out of the forum, hosted at Washington, DC’s, Georgetown University by MSNBC personalities Jen Psaki, Jonathan Capehart, and Symone Sanders-Townsend:

A poll co-sponsored by the left-leaning Los Angeles Times props up failed presidential candidate Kamala Harris as a front-runner for the 2026 California gubernatorial race. The poll from the UC Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies shows Vice President Kamala Harris may benefit from some name recognition in a potentially crowded field, and has the support of many Democrat voters in the state. Current Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) cannot seek reelection because of term limits.

President-elect Donald Trump pulled off an electoral map feat no candidate has achieved in four decades: capturing all seven key swing states that have become pivotal to securing a White House victory. Trump prevailed in Arizona, Nevada, Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Georgia and North Carolina — the first presidential candidate of either party to do so since Ronald Reagan’s historic 1984 reelection landslide victory against Walter Mondale, in which the Republican won 49 states. The seven pivotal swing states have vacillated wildly since 2016, when Trump defeated then-opponent Hillary Clinton in all but Nevada.

Harris, 60, replaced President Biden, 81, atop the Democratic ticket in late July and quickly surged in polling while raking in about $1 billion over a six-week period — massively out-raising Trump, 78, and providing the resources to drive home her early advantage over the Republican nominee. Her failure to seal the deal outraged Democrats, including those who worked in the Biden-Harris administration and on her campaign. “I’ve worked on five presidential campaigns. I knew this would be hard. Others acted like they knew they were going to win,” said one person who chipped in during the final stretch of...

Axios’ Alex Thompson framed Vice President Kamala Harris on Sunday as the “no comment” candidate she “doesn’t want voters to know.” Harris has refused to detail her policy positions on many important issues. This lack of answers appears to be a strategy to avoid irritating the radical left while trying to remain ambiguous in order to attract moderates. The latest example of Harris refusing to answer questions came Sunday when a reporter asked her about a California ballot measure on crime. “How did you vote on Prop 36?” a reporter in Detroit asked Harris. “So, I have — my ballot...

WASHINGTON — Kevin McCarthy could lead a new house soon, The Post has learned. The ousted former speaker of the House of Representatives is widely seen as a top contender to be former President Donald Trump’s first chief of staff if he retakes the White House following the Nov. 5 election, according to sources familiar with the deliberations. No final decision has been made and there is no sign that McCarthy is campaigning for the coveted role — though one person said the Californian has shown openness to being part of a second Trump administration in some capacity. Trump, 78,...

With the Nov. 5 election just over a fortnight away, here is an intriguing thought experiment. By most accounts, the election is still a horse race too close to call. But although Vice President Kamala Harris quickly assumed the presidential mantle from Joe Biden and put in place an impressive start-up, October has not been particularly kind to her. Donald Trump has closed the electoral gaps, and some believe he is actually leading. No matter who wins, we have to ask: Would President Biden have been a better candidate and choice despite suffering from the effects of age and 81...

Political pundits mercilessly mocked Vice President Kamala Harris’s performance during a 60 Minutes interview Monday after she delivered false, incoherent, and rambling statements. The interview represented one of the first times she sat down for a serious, unscripted interview since joining the race, with a host that asked honest questions. Harris has not sat for many local interviews in battleground states, and she has mostly avoided the national press and conducted zero press conferences. During the 60-minute interview, Harris was asked how she would pay for increased spending. She responded by arguing billionaires will pay for it. Billy Binion, a...

President Joe Biden, 81, has reportedly held only two public events before 11:00 a.m. and none before 10:00 a.m. since dropping out of the presidential race on July 21. Biden’s relaxed schedule seems to underscore Vice President Kamala Harris’s role in White House decision making. Last week, Biden stated that he delegated “everything” as commander-in-chief to Harris, including foreign policy and domestic policy. The nation currently faces many serious crises: hurricane relief efforts in North Carolina and other states, the southern border invasion, the Ukraine/Russia war, and an Iranian missile attack on Israel.

Cardinal Timothy Dolan slammed Kamala Harris' surprise move to skip the annual Al Smith dinner, while sending a warning about the last candidate who sat it out. The dinner benefitting Catholic Charities traditionally has been used to promote collegiality and good humor, with presidential candidates from both parties appearing on the same night and trading barbs. Donald Trump has attended the dinner in both 2016 and 2020, while Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden - albeit online - also attended when running for president. Dolan, the Archbishop of New York City, said he was 'disappointed' in Harris' decision to instead campaign...

The International Brotherhood of Teamsters on Wednesday declined to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris or former President Donald Trump and chose to sit out the presidential election, marking the first time first time since 1996 that it did not endorse a candidate.

Governor Gavin Newsom (D-CA) claimed Tuesday on “CBS Mornings” that Vice President Kamala Harris was the “change candidate” in the presidential race. Newsom said, “What Kamala Harris has done in the last 8 weeks is unprecedented in U.S. history. She’s closed the gap. We’re not just within a margin of error, we’ve expanded the map in the United States. You saw new polls this morning. States that were not even in the conversation, now Donald Trump has to either defend or he has to go out and invest millions and millions of dollars. We never imagined a few weeks ago....

Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley on Sunday’s broadcast of CBS’s “Face the Nation” said if she thought fomer Presdent Donald Trump was a “great” candidate she would not have run for president. Partial transcript as follows: MARGARET BRENNAN: You said you’re on standby. In other words, you haven’t been asked to campaign. Are you advising at all on his debate preparation or speaking to the campaign? HALEY: I’m not and you know, that’s his choice. He can, you know, whatever he decides to do with his campaign, he can do that. But when I called him back in June,...

ILLINOIS - President Joe Biden announced he is dropping out of the 2024 presidential race. With all the speculation over who could replace him, would Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker be a possibility? The president posted his decision to bow out of the race Sunday on social media and he endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee. Despite his endorsement, Harris has not been officially selected as the nominee for president in the 2024 election. Shortly after Biden's announcement, Pritzker issued this statement on his decision, emphasizing the president's successful term and the "threat posed by Trump's potential return...

Which of the Republican controlled states will remove Biden from the ballot? Does Biden stepping down matter at all? Of what relevance is a current VP assuming the duties of President? Is the DEATH of the NOMINEE (not the current President per se) the only possible way to get some new NOMINEE on the ballot of all 50 states?

I'm pretty sure almost all of us here believe the days of Biden's candidacy are very short. I'm equally sure the Dems realistically have no option other than elevating Kamala Harris to be their nominee, no matter how distasteful that may seem. As this seems obvious, who would y'all speculate she (OK we know it's really Obama, Schumer, and Pelosi making these calls) will pick to board her Titanic for the cruise to November? Since they can not tap their reelection kitty unless Kamala is the one, would she tap Michelle, knowing the populace would see this as "historic" with...

After three and a half years of being lukewarm on Kamala Harris, Democrats are suddenly hot hot hot for the Vice President. The party is in full panic mode as Biden’s facade of cogency publicly crumbles faster than Bennifer 2.0. Dems are now desperately trying to make Kamala happen. It’s as if the gods were listening to that shrewd political prognosticator Drew Barrymore, who back in the spring had Harris on her show. There, the actress-turned-host did her signature close-talking to the VP and said, “We need you to be ‘Momala’ of the country.” This week, everyone jumped on the...

Colorado congressional candidate and sitting State Rep. Richard Holtorf (R) received a tough grilling this week at the hands of local 9News anchor Kyle Clark over his apparent hypocrisy when it comes to abortion rights. Holtorf made headlines back in January when he defended paying for his girlfriend’s abortion, despite being an adamant pro-life lawmaker and abortion critic. “Anti-abortion GOP lawmaker praises the impact of the abortion he paid for,” read the headline of a local report by Clark from the beginning of the year. o his credit, Holtorf sat down with Clark to discuss the issue. “If abortion was...
