Minnesota Governor Tim Walz doesn't talk much to Vice President Kamala Harris these days. The governor and his former running mate have spoken only "a couple times" since November's election, Walz revealed to The New Yorker's David Remnick in an interview published Sunday. Asked why the pair didn't call or text more frequently, the 2024 Democratic vice presidential nominee joked to Remnick, "Well, maybe she doesn't want to talk to me after we got this thing done." He added that they left in a "good place" and that his daughter Hope missed her greatly. (snip) "I'm doing my job, and...

Kamala Harris abruptly left DC for her native California the day after grimacing her way through Donald Trump’s inauguration, clad in a black funeral-esque suit. Safely back in La-La Land, the now-jobless former VP can process the first major defeat of her career. No doubt still stewing over her loss, the crosshairs of blame are sure to be pointed at former President Joe Biden, accused of dropping out of the race too late. Also Trump, for his attacks, and even her own husband, Doug Emhoff, whose past indiscretions brought wave after wave of embarrassment to her campaign. Harris’ truncated campaign...

A woman who served as an official in Joe Biden’s White House and on Kamala Harris’s transition team, whom bureaucrats tried to hide in the Department of Labor’s non-political workforce after the election, has been terminated after The Daily Wire exposed her scheme. “Elizabeth Peña was terminated, effective today. The Administration is actively working to ensure no other political operatives from the Biden-Harris administration were secretly burrowed into the government,” an individual with direct knowledge of staffing decisions told The Daily Wire. The firing suggests the Trump team is hitting the ground running with attention to detail when it comes...

Kamala Harris was all smiles and affection for her 'beloved' second gentleman, Doug Emhoff in the immediate aftermath of her crushing presidential election defeat. But now that President Donald Trump has been sworn into office, for sore loser Harris, it is now all about the blame game, and her target has flipped to her 'dead weight' husband. And as she weighs her political future – maybe a 2026 run for Governor of California or another try for the nation's top job two years later – she has to consider whether Emhoff is an asset or a liability.

At first we felt a little sorry for you, Doug. We had naturally assumed you'd been pressed into service by the Democratic Party, that your "marriage" to Kamala Harris—several months before launching her U.S. Senate campaign—was arranged via some internal Craigslist for politically ambitious bachelorettes eager to liberate themselves from the Sugar Daddy lifestyle. When Joe Biden dropped out of the race and you were too busy to take your wife's call because you were "messing around" with your "gay friends" after "SoulCycle class" in West Hollywood, we weren't the least bit surprised. We couldn't have been more wrong. The...

The growing scandal plaguing MSNBC host Rev. Al Sharpton has been “ricocheting around the halls” of 30 Rock, with his colleagues calling it a “bridge too far” for them, Fox News Digital has learned. On Tuesday, MSNBC said it was “unaware” that Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign paid $500,000 to Sharpton’s National Action Network nonprofit ahead of a friendly interview with the Democratic nominee just weeks before the election. “MSNBC was unaware of the donations made to the National Action Network,” an MSNBC spokesperson told the Washington Free Beacon, which first broke the story. Harris sat down for a...

Yet, those who backed Harris are convinced that the woman who became vice president because of her gender and the color of her skin has vast potential, and if being president of the United States is not in the cards, perhaps a seat on the Supreme Court will do. An anti-Trump account on X under the name Protect Kamala Harris floated a proposal that would result in the failed Democratic nominee sitting on the nation’s highest court. “Want to blow Republicans’ minds? Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor retires. President Biden appoints Kamala Harris to Sotomayor’s vacancy with a lame duck...

Vice President Kamala Harris pulled the plug on the crowd’s energy during a Michigan rally on Monday after a bizarre joke that left her supporters in stunned silence. “We are all here because we are fighting for a democracy and for the right of people to be heard and seen,” the Democratic nominee explained to the exuberant crowd in Ann Arbor, Mich. “We’re not about the enemy within. We know we are all in this together. That’s what we are fighting for,” Harris added.

Democrat presidential candidate Kamala Harris has bailed on her plan to sit down with Joe Rogan, with a campaign aide blaming “scheduling” for the cancellation. Her decision to cancel comes amid widespread skepticism that Kamala Harris could get through a three-hour, unscripted interview with Rogan given that she has had difficulty handling much shorter events with friendly news media, like her recent disastrous town hall on CNN. Kamala Harris aide Ian Sams told MSNBC this week that the Rogan interview won’t be happening.

Kamala Harris is failing to attract votes from men, especially minority men, which has her campaign in a panic. On the other hand, she does great with the liberal, wealthy white women who are referred to as “wine moms.” They are the readers of Vogue magazine, the ultimate home court for Harris.So it is no surprise to see Harris–I believe for the second time–on the cover of Vogue...Vogue officially endorses Kamala as “the candidate for our times,” and the accompanying article is hagiographic. But virtually no one will read it. Vogue is like the Playboy of decades ago: no one...

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is dodging calls from Vice President Kamala Harris about Hurricane Milton, sources close to the governor told multiple news outlets. “Kamala was trying to reach out, and we didn’t answer,” an anonymous DeSantis aide told NBC News on Monday. A source close to the governor also confirmed the same to ABC News hours later. The anonymous DeSantis aide said the governor declined to take Harris’ calls because they “seemed political.” They were unsure if DeSantis had been in communication with President Joe Biden. Harris offered harsh words for the governor after reporters asked her about the...

In one of the more dishonest omissions ever seen on Fox News – which is saying something – viewers of Thursday’s episodes of The Ingraham Angle and Jesse Watters Primetime were left with the impression that victims of Hurricane Helene are getting shafted by the federal government. Fox News has been working feverishly to reelect Donald Trump, whose false election claims the network promoted and, in return, got the business end of a $787.5 million settlement in a defamation case last year. For Fox News, it’s the cost of doing business, which is lying. To wit, on Thursday, Laura Ingraham...

If the idea of a bunch of liberal white guys talking about a “positive, multiracial, feminist democracy narrative” strikes you as unbearably cringey, white guys like Chris Crass would encourage you to consider the alternative. As a “progressive white guy,” Crass often feels “really sad about what white guy political expression looks like” in the age of Donald Trump and the hard-core masculine right. “When you think of, like, white men taking political action, generally the idea of what that looks like is terrible — Charlottesville, MAGA, a Klan rally,” said Crass, a longtime organizer from Louisville, Kentucky

The search for survivors continued Tuesday amid the devastation from Hurricane Helene, which has killed at least 162 people and destroyed homes across the Southeast. Many people also remain unaccounted for, especially in North Carolina, where hundreds of roads remain inaccessible and communications have been knocked out. At the White House on Monday evening, President Biden told reporters there were reports that 600 people were unaccounted for. "God willing they're alive, but there's no way to contact them," Mr. Biden said. FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell said that search and rescue personnel have been deployed to affected areas, and efforts are...

Mike Lee put together a fairly exceptional thread explaining exactly what a vote for Kamala Harris means, especially when it comes to religion. There are many reasons not to vote for Kamala but this is ... scary stuff. And something everyone on the Right who is claiming they're voting for Kamala because they hate Trump should absolutely have to read. Twice. Take a gander:
