Kamala Harris was all smiles when she arrived at Joe Biden's former Delaware campaign headquarters on Monday. She was there to lift the spirits of blindsided staffers, who after 15 months of toiling to re-elect the president, suddenly found themselves working for her. 'It is my great honor to have Joe's endorsement in this race,' she boasted to cheers from a crowd who were now on her payroll. The video player is currently playing an ad. But as the assembled readily applauded, some must have harbored private concerns. For, behind the recent public self-branding of Harris as a kindly, jovial...

Kamau Marshall, who was hired by the Harris campaign earlier this week, issued an apology in 2020 for his offensive posts and in has reportedly undertaken a digital purge in recent days. “Even though I like a power woman…I need her to know her place…Meaning I where [sic] the #pants…ight,” Marshall tweeted on Dec. 24, 2011.

Taylor Swift has not endorsed anyone in this year’s presidential race. But her army of fans isn’t waiting for her. Swifties know which way she leans. Swift, currently traveling in Europe with her mammoth Eras Tour, endorsed Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in 2020. Since Sunday, when Biden stepped down from his reelection campaign and Harris became the presumptive Democratic nominee, Swifties have flooded social media supporting Harris, enchanted by the prospect of the first female president. If the mammoth success of Swift’s tour has demonstrated anything, it’s this: When millions of Swifties mobilize, get out of their way. And...

November 11, 2019 To Whom it may Concern: It is with a heavy heart that I submit my resignation as State Operations Director at Kamala Harris for the People, effective November 30, 2019. This is my third presidential campaign and I have never seen an organization treat its staff so poorly. While I still believe that Senator Harris is the strongest candidate to win in the General Election in 2020, I no longer have confidence in our campaign or its leadership. The treatment of our staff over the last two weeks was the final straw in this very difficult decision....

Former President Donald Trump delivers the keynote address at the Turning Point USA Faith Believers’ Summit.

"Karens for Kamala?" actress Connie Britton joked. Britton was one of two celebrities, several politicians, and, reportedly, more than 100,000 others on a Zoom call advertised as a way for white women to "show up for Kamala Harris." What transpired echoed advocacy around Hillary Clinton eight years ago. It was also oddly reminiscent in tone, if not substance, of missteps we've seen from conservatives like Sen. J.D. Vance (R–Ohio), in which those who aren't on board with your side are assumed to simply be deficient human beings. *** The virtual gathering was organized by gun control activist and Moms Demand...
