Kamala Harris has triggered further speculation that she is not running for governor of California and has higher political ambitions. Rumors of a 2028 White House run started circulating after she delivered a lackluster three-minute virtual address to the Democratic state political convention that was politely received by the audience. In a steady, monotone voice, she spoke about the Trump administration’s recent actions against universities and praised activists efforts to fight the president’s agenda. “While this administration in Washington tries to divide us, we hear know that we are stronger when we stand together,” she said, a flashback to her...

Former President Barack Obama reportedly advocated against Democrats nominating Vice President Kamala Harris in the wake of President Joe Biden dropping out of the 2024 presidential election — because Obama didn’t think Harris could win, according to an upcoming book. The 44th president reportedly argued for an open convention rather than anointing Harris as the nominee after Biden’s shocking drop-out, despite her having support from other Democrats, according to reporter Jonathan Allen, co-author of “FIGHT: Inside the Wildest Battle for the White House.” “President Obama absolutely did not think that Joe Biden should continue, according to our sources close to...

From flop to favorite. Former Vice President Kamala Harris is the preferred 2028 option by a wide margin, according to a survey of Democratic voters released Friday. The failed 2024 presidential nominee received 36% support from Democratic and Democratic-leaning independent voters in the early 2028 primary poll conducted by Morning Consult. Harris, 60, has a stunning double-digit lead over her closest potential competitor, former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, who garnered just 10% support from his party. … Newsom was among three possible candidates who received 5% support in the Morning Consult poll, the others being far-left “Squad” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez...

Donald Trump, as president, had the worst record on animal issues since the cockfighter Andrew Jackson WASHINGTON D.C.––Though drawing sharp distinctions between themselves during the closing days of the keenly contested 2024 U.S. Presidential election, candidates Kamala Harris and Donald Trump have said little––because pollsters and pundits have not asked––about perhaps the starkest difference of all in their respective political histories. Yet it can be succinctly summarized, and matters a great deal to the third or more of American households who donate or volunteer in some manner to help animals:

It’s not the White House. But… it’s a short walk to the Park? Kamala Harris is eyeing post-loss life in New York, we hear. Page Six spies say that Doug Emhoff toured a $20,000-a-month three-bedroom at the Park Loggia luxury condo building on the Upper West Side last week. (“The missus was missing,” said the source.) We’re told he arrived at the Lincoln Center high-rise on Friday with a “convoy of SUVs and a phalanx of Secret Service.” No word yet if the power pair plan to take the apartment. Meanwhile, a source said, “Not from me, but I heard...

Kamala Harris held a campaign rally at Muhlenberg College in Allentown on Monday, one day before Election Day in the 2024 presidential election. She was joined by musical guests Fat Joe and Frankie Negron. Other speakers included Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Speaker and Allentown Mayor Matt Tuerk. See photos below.

Kamala Harris was frequently absent for California Medical Assistance Commission meetings, even though she was appointed to the position by her boyfriend at the time and then-Assembly Speaker Willie Brown. Harris and Brown dated for about a year when she was a 29 year old lawyer for the Alameda District Attorney's office and he was the powerful speaker who ran for mayor of San Francisco at the age of 60. Brown appointed Harris to the CMAC position in 1994, drawing some criticism for impropriety despite Brown’s willingness to publicly flaunt accusations of political patronage. Harris had already served six months...

Vice President Kamala Harris said Tuesday that the death of a young Georgia mother who died after waiting 20 hours for a hospital to treat her complications from an abortion pill shows the consequences of Donald Trump's actions. Amber Thurman's death, first reported Monday by ProPublica, occurred just two weeks after Georgia's strict abortion ban was enacted in 2022 following the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to overturn nationwide abortion rights. Trump appointed three of the justices who made that decision and has repeatedly said he believes states should decide abortion laws. "This young mother should be alive, raising her son,...

Vice President Kamala Harris issued a slew of false claims and hoaxes that ABC debate moderators did not fact check during Tuesday’s debate against former President Donald Trump. Here are 21 false claims and hoaxes that Harris uttered on live television, in front of millions of Americans: 1. “Very fine people” hoax Harris claimed Trump called neo-Nazis in Charlottesville “very fine people,” a widely known hoax that Democrats continue to repeat, despite it being debunked for years by numerous outlets, including by the left-wing fact checking website Snopes. 2. Project 2025 hoax Harris accused Trump of wanting to implement Project...

Former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are neck and neck nationally, but Trump has the momentum after surging three points in a month, according to a Marist/NPR/PBS News poll. The September 3-5 poll, published Tuesday, finds 48 percent of 1,413 registered voters sampled back Trump, while 49 percent back Harris. One percent is undecided, and one percent would support a third-party candidate. Trump has gained three points of support since the Marist/NPR/PBS News August 1-4 poll, when he landed at 45 percent with registered voters in a field with third-party options. That poll showed him three points...

Democratic political pundit James Carville argued the recent endorsements Vice President Kamala Harris has received could net her support from Republican voters, including those who have never voted for a Democrat before. The past week saw Harris net two more endorsements ahead of Tuesday’s presidential debate, with the first from former Wyoming Republican Rep. Liz Cheney and the second from her father, former Vice President Dick Cheney. When asked what kinds of voters these two endorsements appeal to, Carville contended the endorsements could push voters hesitant to support Democrats to finally take the plunge, especially those who dislike former President...

Vice President Kamala Harris expects former President Donald J. Trump to lie repeatedly during their debate Tuesday, she said in a radio interview that was broadcast on Monday.“We should be prepared for the fact that he is not burdened by telling the truth,” Ms. Harris told Rickey Smiley, a morning radio host whose show is broadcast on 76 stations. “We should be prepared for the fact that he is probably going to speak a lot of untruths.”Ms. Harris’s prediction, which she made in an interview she recorded last Wednesday, serves as a bit of table-setting for a campaign that has...

Vice President Kamala Harris wants to help you. But you must vote for her first. She needs to be elected President in November before she rolls up her sleeves and gets her hands dirty for the American people – including you. The cost of consumer goods and services went through the roof on her watch. In fact, consumer prices are up over 20 percent since January 2021. Food, rent, and electricity are up even more. Yet her four years as President Joe Biden’s sidekick don’t count. Bidenomics is on the big guy. Not Harris. And now, Harris has a plan....

Vice President Kamala Harris's ex-lover has a bright idea. Why wait for 2024? Kamala should be president – right now! Former San Francisco mayor and notorious playboy, Willie Brown, 90, who is 31 years Harris's senior and dated her in the 1990s, summoned local reporters for an impromptu news conference on Sunday. Speaking outside John's Grill, where he holds court with the city's political elite, just moments after President Joe Biden's surprise announcement that he'd suspended his campaign, Brown told journalists that the president shouldn't just cede the Democratic nomination to Kamala, but he should make her commander-in-chief immediately. '[Harris's]...

CNN political commentator Van Jones on Sunday suggested Democrats are preparing to run Vice President Harris for president, regardless of President Biden’s official standing in the race. Jones, speaking on CNN’s “State of The Union,” emphasized the significance of the divide within the Democratic Party following Biden’s lackluster debate performance against former President Trump last month, saying it has turned things “in a negative direction” for the party. “[Biden’s] still in the race and he’s doing what he’s supposed to do. I’m glad to see him out there. I’m glad he’s doing interviews. I’m glad he’s doing all those things....

Post See new posts Conversation Dougie Kass @DougKass What I am hearing regarding Joe Biden. Ron Klain and Barack Obama are having a sit down with the President today. Jill Biden is insistent that Joe runs. Kamala is furious that she is not being considered as a replacement (Whitmer and Newsom are). Interestingly my neighbor in East Hampton is hosting the Bidens tomorrow. It will be an important tell if the fundraiser is cancelled. @dougkass @carlquintanilla @tomkeene @ferrotv @lisaabramowicz1 @jimcramer @business @SRuhle @msnbc @cnbc @andrewrsorkin 8:06 AM · Jun 28, 2024 · 5.5M Views

Kamala Harris can be destroyed just by using her own quotes. Hilarious ad.

The Biden-Harris campaign immediately began fundraising off the guilty verdict former President Trump, telling supporters that the legal setback for the presumptive GOP nominee is not enough to keep him out of the White House. In a text message sent to supporters Thursday, "Biden HQ" said that "despite a jury finding Donald Trump guilty today, there is still only one way to keep Donald Trump out of the Oval Office: At the ballot box." "Convicted felon or not, Trump will be the Republican nominee for president. But there is one other certainty — as you read this, Donald Trump's supporters...

Washington CNN — Vice President Kamala Harris on Monday reflected on her experiences as a barrier-breaking public figure, telling a crowd in blunt terms that sometimes they need to take it upon themselves strive for their own opportunities and successes – even if others may doubt them. “We have to know that sometimes people will open the door for you and leave it open,” Harris said in a moderated conversation with actor and comedian Jimmy O. Yang in Washington. “Sometimes they won’t – and then you need to kick that f***ing door down,” she added, to applause and laughter from...

Harris was initially enjoying what she thought was a fun song but it appeared she was clued into the translation of the lyrics by Executive Director Mariana Reyes, who accompanied her on the trip. The song took aim at the vice president, the Biden administration in general and their policies.A half dozen demonstrators performing on the street in front of the vice president signaled support in their song for the Palestinian people amid conflict between Israel and Hamas terrorists in Gaza, as well as for Haiti as gang violence threatens to completely collapse the island's government.'Long live free Palestine and...
