  • Vance Denigrated Harris for Being Childless. Her Blended Family Is Defending Her.

    The New York Times ^ | July 25, 2024Updated 4:56 p.m. ET | Katie Rogers
    In a 2021 interview with Fox News, JD Vance lamented that the United States was being run by “childless cat ladies” like Vice President Kamala Harris, women who he claimed had no “direct stake” in the country’s future.This week, Ms. Harris received a powerful gesture of support from one of her biggest advocates: the mother of her stepchildren.“For over 10 years, since Cole and Ella were teenagers, Kamala has been a co-parent with Doug and I,” Kerstin Emhoff said in a statement released by the office of the second gentleman, Doug Emhoff. “She is loving, nurturing, fiercely protective and always...

    Vice President Kamala Harris rallied thousands of members of the most powerful teachers unions in the country to join her in a fight against what she called former President Donald J. Trump’s plans to roll back their rights, gut their protections and undermine their profession.In a keynote address at the national convention of the American Federation of Teachers, Ms. Harris blasted efforts by “extremists” who she said wanted to take the country back to a “dark past” that included “failed trickle-down economics,” union busting, slashing social programs and curtailing student loan forgiveness.And before the crowd of 3,500 people, she assailed...

    Ever since President Biden’s Sunday announcement that he would not seek re-election, clearly because of age, I keep thinking about Donald Trump’s and JD Vance’s contemptuous reactions to one of the most difficult personal decisions a president has ever made, and what it says about their character.“The Democrats pick a candidate, Crooked Joe Biden, he loses the Debate badly, then panics, and makes mistake after mistake, is told he can’t win, and decide they will pick another candidate, probably Harris,” Trump wrote on social media on Monday. He later added: “It’s not over! Tomorrow Crooked Joe Biden’s going to wake...

    It’s always a good idea to pay attention to Nancy Pelosi and to judge where things are going by which direction she’s nudging them in, but that was especially true over the past few weeks. When she started sending President Biden signals that he should reconsider his candidacy, I felt almost certain that he’d eventually do so, because she was both giving other Democrats permission to break ranks with him and letting him and his allies know the extent and inevitability of the rebellion.And I realized that Vice President Kamala Harris wouldn’t face any competition for the Democratic nomination when...

    Former President Donald Trump missed 12 putts while playing a round of golf alongside Bryson DeChambeau. The 2024 Republican nominee for president appeared on the professional golfer's popular "Break 50" series, where they raised money for charity. Trump, 78, and DeChambeau, 30, played a two-person scramble, a common golf game in which "each player plays from the teeing area on each hole, one of the tee shots is selected and all the players play their second shots from within one club length of that location, no closer to the hole, and in the same height of grass in the general...

    The FBI's director has cast doubt on whether Donald Trump was struck by a bullet during the attempt on his life at a Pennsylvania political rally. Christopher Wray was updating Congress about the assassination attempt on Trump in Butler on Wednesday when he made the explosive statement. 'With respect to former President Trump, there’s some question about whether or not it’s a bullet or shrapnel that hit his ear,' Wray said. 'I don't know right now whether that bullet, in addition to causing the grazing, could have landed somewhere else.' Wray was addressing security failures that allowed gunman Thomas Matthew...

    Here’s the latest from the campaign trail. Vice President Kamala Harris made an appeal on Wednesday to the Democratic Party’s most loyal voting bloc, Black women, as she met with the Zeta Phi Beta sorority in Indianapolis, one of the nation’s oldest Black sororities. Though the event was officially a White House event, she delivered a version of the campaign stump speech she debuted this week in Delaware and Wisconsin, reciting the Biden administration’s accomplishments and attacking former President Donald J. Trump. Chris Cameron | Reporting on politics Here’s the latest from the campaign trail. Vice President Kamala Harris made...

    Michael Kearney Jr., a community organizer from Charleston, S.C., admits that he isn’t crazy about Kamala Harris’s background as a prosecutor. But after President Biden dropped out of the presidential race and endorsed her as his replacement, Mr. Kearney set his misgivings aside — and opened his wallet.“I’m all the way in,” declared Mr. Kearney, 41, who said he sent $20 to Ms. Harris’s campaign this week. Nathan Gaines, a 43-year-old barber and Army veteran from Milwaukee, said he had been leaning toward voting for Donald J. Trump — he calls the former president “Big T” — despite having supported...

    When Joe Biden endorsed Kamala Harris to become the Democratic nominee, Donald Trump confidently claimed she’d be even easier to defeat in November than Biden would have been. In reality, the vice president’s arrival in the race on a tidal wave of support from her colleagues and party donors creates a major headache for the Republican’s campaign, which, until Sunday, had been enjoying mutinous disarray among its Democratic opponents.

    President Harris will make a big change to her transportation when she is elected. The presidential limousine will be replaced by a big yellow school bus. Harris loved riding the bus (the short one) to her school as a child. The presidential school bus will be equipped with a word salad shooter, a ven diagram generator for briefings and a weed den in the back for kicking back and cooling it. A large sturdy couch will be provided for entertaining visiting high profile political personnel.

    History has its eye on us. President Biden’s decision to end his campaign was as pure an act of patriotism as I have seen in my lifetime. It should also be a call to action to the rest of us to continue his fight for the soul of our nation. The next 15 weeks will be like nothing this country has ever experienced politically, but have no doubt: This is a race Democrats can and must win.Mr. Biden has done a hard and rare thing. Serving as president was a lifelong dream. And when he finally got there, he was...

    Those of us who have studied modern assassinations, including those of President John F. Kennedy and the civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr., hoped the government had learned a lesson from its dismal public responses.The government’s repeated failure to address what it knew quickly fed suspicions that the silence itself was evidence of a conspiracy. The federal government sealed files for decades and refused to disclose information — often to protect the reputation of agencies and their officials — which only added fuel to conspiracy theories.In the wake of the attempted assassination of Donald Trump, we are seeing that...

    Kamala Harris is a highly memeable presidential candidate. She dances in a loose and enthusiastic manner. She has an idiosyncratic speaking style. She laughs easily, including at herself. This has not always worked in her favor.When Harris said, in a May 2023 speech, “You think you just fell out of a coconut tree?,” a Republican YouTube channel snipped the clip from its context and tossed it to commentators, who used it to compare Harris to a daffy talk show host or to joke that she sounded high. Videos of Harris dancing at campaign events were labeled “cringe.” The stickiest anti-Kamala...
