Vice President Kamala Harris is not known for her great and moving oratory skills. We are frequently treated to cringe-worthy responses that are nonsensical, or seem as though she is desperately trying to string together a sentence that sounds profound without considering if it actually means anything. But during an exclusive interview with CNN, her propensity for spewing out words that mean nothing was once again on full display. “When you think about it, in terms of what that means in terms of democratic principles in terms of the ideals upon which we were founded about liberty about freedom. You...

Former Vice President Mike Pence blasted Vice President Harris in a speech Thursday over her support of abortion rights as the Supreme Court appears poised to overturn Roe v. Wade. On Tuesday at an EMILY’s List conference, Harris chastised Republicans who aim to restrict abortions. “Those Republicans leaders who are trying to weaponize the use of the law against women — how dare they?” she asked. “How dare they tell a woman what she can do and cannot do with her own body? How dare they? How dare they try to stop her from determining her own future? How dare...

The Supreme Court’s decision to strike down New York’s restrictive handgun law is drawing some interesting takes. Vice President Kamala Harris reacted to the Supreme Court’s decision in the New York State Rifle & Pistol Association Inc. v. Bruen case. Shortly after the ruling was announced, Harris said, “We, the president, myself, many of us are deeply concerned and troubled by the Supreme Court’s ruling today.” “It, I believe, defies common sense, and the Constitution of the United States,” she added.

The Democrat National Committee (DNC) is reportedly reducing prices for an opportunity to take a photo with Vice President Kamala Harris. The price for a photo with the vice president at the Woman’s Leadership Forum fundraiser in May reportedly cost attendees $15,000. But that event was postponed until the fall due to a lack of ticket sales. Upon postponement, DNC spokesperson Daniel Wessel claimed Kamala Harris is still a huge draw for events but did not give a reason why the event was rescheduled. Only 28 percent of Americans approve of Harris’s job performance, according to polling. Harris’s lack of...

Vice President Kamala Harris bungled a history lesson about the Juneteenth holiday Monday, telling kids that black people were enslaved in America for 400 years — overstating the actual time period by more than 150 years. “I think that we all know today is a day to celebrate the principle of freedom,” Harris told a group of about two dozen elementary school-aged children at the National Museum of African American History & Culture in Washington. “And think about it in terms of the context of history, knowing that black people in America were not free for 400 years of slavery.”...

Monday on CNN’s “New Day,” House Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-SC) reacted to a Wall Street Journal report that Democrats were expecting President Joe Biden to run again in 2024 but were not sure if he should.

As the looming threat to abortion rights gets closer, Vice President Kamala Harris continues her efforts in the White House to prepare for a post-Roe v. Wade world. According to Reuters, the Vice President is meeting with constitutional, technology, and privacy law experts today to discuss what comes next if the Supreme Court goes through with overturning Roe.

In May, Politico published a leaked draft opinion from conservative Justice...

Host Symone Sanders said, “Can we expect to see the president and vice president join you on the trail closer to November?” Abrams said, “We invite anyone who wants to see Georgia move forward to come here, and that means President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.

More than 20 black White House aides have departed the Biden administration since late last year, an exodus some have dubbed “Blaxit,” according to a new report. While some of the departing staffers have left on good terms to pursue additional career or educational opportunities, others have attributed the turnover to a lack of mentorship and opportunity, Politico reported Tuesday, citing nine black current and former White House officials. “We’re here and we’re doing a lot of work but we’re not decision-makers and there’s no real path towards becoming decision-makers,” one current staffer told the outlet. “There is no real...

Vice President Kamala Harris has called for a ban on assault weapons after the horrific mass shootings at an elementary school in Texas and a supermarket in Buffalo, saying the weapons have “no place in a civil society. “On the issue of gun violence, I will say, as I’ve said countless times, we are not sitting around waiting to figure out what the solution looks like. You know, we’re not looking for a vaccine,” Harris told reporters Saturday in Buffalo, where she ​attended a funeral for one of the 10 people killed in the​ May 14 massacre there.

Vice President Kamala Harris made a surprise address at the funeral for a victim of the Buffalo, N.Y., supermarket shooting on Saturday, saying such violent acts will not stop America from speaking out. “I think we all know that a true measure of strength is not based on who you beat down. It’s based on who you lift up,” Harris said at the funeral for victim Geraldine Chapman Talley.

President Biden is doing a great job-just ask anyone in the lame stream media. Stephanie Cutter, a CNN political commentator, when asked about Biden's plummeting approval numbers replied, "By any metric with the exception of inflation, this country is moving forward under his leadership." There you have it. Case closed. America is moving forward. Forward towards the abyss? Forward towards annihilation? Forward to becoming a third world banana republic? Actually, Stephanie is accurate about one thing. Biden is successfully destroying America, the land that we love, faster than anyone imagined. We always knew that Biden was frail, confused and cognitively...

While speaking at Asian Pacific American Institute for Congressional Studies Tuesday, Vice President Kamala Harris addressed the Texas elementary school shooting by saying we, as a nation, must have “the courage to take action.” Harris said, “Enough is enough.”

As they look toward 2024, Democrats are unified in their conception of doom: the restoration of Trump, joined down-ballot by anti-democratic Republicans who will end fair elections and any hope of combating climate change. But Democratic divisions remain over how to prevent that dismal future. Many are preoccupied by the midterms, which are less predictable now that post-Roe fury may well send more pro-choice voters to the polls, and others are focused on the even more immediate threat of rampaging inflation. Hanging over it all is a genuine debate over whether Biden’s being on or off the ticket is the...

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) said Thursday that he is “hopeful” Vice President Kamala Harris will be “the next president of the United States.” Newsom’s comments came during an interview with the San Francisco Chronicle editorial board.

Kamala Harris on Friday delivered remarks on electric school buses at Meridian High School in Falls Church, Virginia. Harris was joined by Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Michael Regan. Kamala Harris had some inspiring words for the attendees as she announced a new national initiative for electric school buses. “Think about it: Yellow school buses are our nation’s largest form of mass transit. How ’bout that? Every day — so, yes, and let’s applaud because it gets ’em where they need to go! Ha ha ha!” Harris said. How profound.

Vice President Harris hauled in nearly half a million dollars in book royalties during her first year in office, ethics disclosure forms show. Harris reported $325,000 in royalty earnings from her 2019 book “The Truths We Hold,” and another $130,000 for her children’s book “Superheroes Are Everywhere,” Bloomberg reported Friday. The cash far outstripped President Biden’s, who reported between $15,001 and $50,000 in royalties for “Promise Me, Dad,” — a heartfelt 2018 memoir about his late son Beau Biden, who died of brain cancer in 2015.
