Former Vice President Kamala Harris revealed that Pete Buttigieg was her “first choice” as running mate in last year’s presidential election, but such a pairing “was too big of a risk,” according to an excerpt from her upcoming book. Buttigieg, the former secretary of transportation and mayor of South Bend, Indiana, who is gay, “would have been an ideal partner — if I were a straight white man,” Harris wrote in a portion of “107 Days” published by The Atlantic. “But we were already asking a lot of America: to accept a woman, a black woman, a black woman married...

Former vice president and two-time presidential contest loser Kamala Harris is set to return to ABC’s The View next Tuesday nearly a year after last appearing on the show. Harris made a last ditch appearance on the far-left day-time talk show to flog her failing presidential campaign in October of 2024, only weeks before the November election, but it was all to no avail because she lost the election in a landslide. Now the former veep is set to return to the show to flog her upcoming book, “107 Days,” in which she reportedly slags her former boss, Joe Biden,...

Former Vice President Kamala Harris says that Democrats made a mistake and it was "recklessness" to allow President Joe Biden to make the decision alone on running for reelection, saying the choice should not have been "left to an individual’s ego.” In an excerpt from her forthcoming book, "107 Days," published in The Atlantic Wednesday morning, Harris, in a remarkable turnaround, said "as loyal as I am to President Biden, I am more loyal to my country," and lamented her time in Biden’s administration, saying "getting anything positive said about my work or any defense against untrue attacks was almost...

(DCNF)—U.S. job growth in the year through March was much weaker than previously reported, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) revisions released on Tuesday. The U.S. economy likely added 911,000 fewer jobs in the year ending in March — or an average of almost 76,000 fewer each month — according to the BLS’ preliminary benchmark revision. The report comes after job growth slowed in August, with the U.S. economy adding just 22,000 nonfarm payroll jobs, according to data released Friday by BLS. ADVERTISEMENT The jobs report revisions were even worse than the downward adjustment of 700,000 that was previously...

The Los Angeles Police Department has pulled its cops from a security detail at Kamala Harris’ Brentwood, California home after outrage that crime-fighting units were being diverted to guard the former vice president. A dozen Metro Division officers had been stationed outside Harris’ mansion after President Trump revoked her Secret Service protection last week, ending an extension through which had been quietly granted by President Biden. By Saturday, the backup was gone, sources told the Los Angeles Times. The short-lived detail drew fury inside the department after LAPD officers were pulled from crime suppression in the San Fernando Valley to...

The Secret Service spent a whopping $81,000 on Kamala Harris’ trip to Australia earlier this year, where she was paid $500,000 to bash Elon Musk and Trump at a real estate conference. President Trump has since yanked Harris’ Secret Service protection. “The Center to Advance Security in America commends President Trump’s decision to remove Secret Service protection for former Vice President and failed presidential candidate Kamala Harris,” Fitzpatrick said. “CASA recently obtained records showing that the Secret Service spent $81,000 to protect Harris on her trip to the Australian Real Estate Conference in May, where she engaged in political attacks...

Newly uncovered internal documents shed fresh light on former President Joe Biden’s use of the autopen and alleged outsourcing of decision-making during his final year in office. The former president has insisted that he personally made all decisions regarding pardons, executive orders and proclamations, calling claims to the contrary “ridiculous and false.” However, internal memos and emails indicate that critical decisions — including clemencies — were quietly delegated to others, including former Vice President Kamala Harris, and it remains unclear whether Biden formally approved certain decisions, multiple outlets reported on Thursday. Biden aides initially insisted he personally sign by hand...

Kamala Harris’ new security detail is made up of Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) officers, who have been reassigned to guard the former vice president after President Trump withdrew her Secret Service protection, according to a report. As many as 14 of LAPD’s elite Metro Division officers have been “pulled from working cases” and “crime suppression efforts” to provide security for Harris, local outlet FOX 11 reported on Wednesday. The outlet recorded an unmarked LAPD SUV with at least two plainclothes officers sitting in the driveway outside Harris’ home in the upscale Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles, where the failed...

President Donald Trump revoked Kamala Harris’ Secret Service protection on Thursday, according to a copy of a letter reviewed by CNN. Former presidents receive Secret Service protection for life. Harris, as a former vice president, received six months of protection after leaving office, according to federal law. That period ended on July 21. However, her protection had been extended for an additional year via a directive – not made public until now – signed by then-President Joe Biden shortly before leaving office, according to multiple people familiar with the undisclosed arrangement. That is the order Trump canceled in his letter,...

The majority of California Democrats do not want former Vice President Kamala Harris to make another White House run in 2028, according to a UC Berkeley/Los Angeles Times poll released Tuesday. Almost two-thirds of registered voters in California and 51% of Democrats said Harris should not seek the presidency again following her two failed White House bids in 2020 and 2024, according to the survey. Meanwhile, roughly 45% of California’s registered voters said they were “very” or “somewhat” enthusiastic about the prospect of Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom running for president, while 36% said the same about Harris. “She [Harris]...

Forget the old-school thrills of "F1," the family charm of "Freakier Friday," and even the surprisingly pro-life "Fantastic Four: First Steps" — because this summer's feel-good movie turns out to be an August sleeper hit that virtually nobody saw coming. It's the story of a failed presidential candidate who raised record sums, left record debt, lost anyway, and gave her party the finger when it needed her most. It's called "Kamala's Revenge," and it's the kind of razor-sharp political comedy that Hollywood hasn't dared make since 1997's "Wag the Dog." The premise of "Kamala's Revenge" is even wilder than Chauncey...

“We had so much money it was hard to get it out the door,” a Kamala ally said after the election even as her campaign was still sending out texts to donors begging them to send more cash. “Hi Team, It’s Kamala, The election isn’t what we wanted, but I will never give up the fight,” a post-election text message solicited donors to replace all the money that went out the door. In Jan 2025, even as President Trump was preparing for his inauguration, the ‘Harris Fight Fund’ was still milking recurring donations even though there was nothing left to...

“I watched the black-white stuff start on Thursday night.” In the 2024 election, Barack Obama found himself in the unexpected position of fighting against the rise of the second black president. Opposing him was nearly every black Democrat, from Rep. Jim Clyburn, who helped put Biden in the White House in exchange for promises to appoint a black woman as his VP and to the Supreme Court, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and DNC Chair Jaime Harrison, who were determined to make Kamala the candidate. Biden’s debate collapse had created a historic moment of the worst possible kind. Dems needed...

Barstool Sports CEO Dave Portnoy said that reading former Vice President Kamala Harris's new book "107 Days" would be a "punishment worse than death." During Portnoy's appearance on Fox Business's Varney & Co., host Stuart Varney played a video of one of Portnoy's employees detailing that the loser of the office's fantasy football league will have to read Harris's book, detailing her brief presidential campaign. Varney joked with Portnoy that reading Harris's book was "cruel and unusual punishment." "Some people say there's no punishment worse than death," Portnoy said. "I think this one is, yeah, this is, this is a...

Kamala needs to be asked if she had been elected last year would her justice department have pursued the Hillary Clinton bogus Russia Collusion hoax with potential indictments against Hillary Clinton, Clapper, Brennan, Comey and others involved. Would be fun to hear her answer.

A Democrat took aim at Republicans and Fox News in an interview with Fox host Jesse Watters, arguing that his network’s own polling numbers showed that people are unhappy with Trump’s presidency. In a Monday evening appearance on Fox News’ Jesse Watters Primetime, White Dudes for Harris founder Mike Nellis was asked if he still supported former Vice President Kamala Harris. Nellis replied, “Listen, I prefer Kamala Harris for president right now, and honestly, I think a lot of Americans agree with me.”

Joe Biden’s allies are reportedly prepared to release damaging stories about Kamala Harris’s vice presidential tenure should she discuss the former president's cognitive decline. The news comes as his one-time sidekick is set to release a new book about her failed presidential campaign. Oh, there ain't enough popcorn on the planet to prepare for this potential public spat. Political journalist Mark Halperin contends that Biden's people are sitting on a bunch of "Palinesque" stories about the former Veep that will expose her as being dreadfully unqualified for the job she once held. “I will tell you, and this has never...

Former Vice President Kamala Harris bemoaned Thursday in an interview with soon-to-be axed lefty talk show host Stephen Colbert that the American political system is “broken” and suggested she wouldn’t embark on a third White House run after her landslide loss to President Trump. Harris, who announced Wednesday that she wouldn’t be running for California governor in 2026, was asked by “The Late Show” host – in her first post-election interview – if she was perhaps interested in a “different office.” “No … it’s perhaps more basic than that,” Harris responded. “Recently I made the decision that I just, for...
