Vice-presidential candidate Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) claimed that former President Donald Trump is a “dictator” trying to “overturn the Constitution” during his rally in Arizona on Saturday. “Momentum is on our side, but we take nothing for granted,” the Democrat said to a Tucson audience. “We know in Arizona a vote or two per precinct could be what it takes to win the whole damn race for the country.”

IRST ON FOX: The Harris campaign cut multiple six-figure checks last month for left-leaning groups that have been vocal about defunding the police, reparations, and are tied to radical activists who have supported notorious antisemite Louis Farrakhan. The Harris campaign gave hundreds of thousands of dollars to a handful of Black advocacy groups who are mobilizing Black voters ahead of November's election next week, according to FEC filings released last week. Black Voters Matters Fund, which received $150,000 from the Harris campaign on Sept. 19, has repeatedly called for defunding the police and has been vocal about pushing for reparations....

Is there famine in Gaza? Or just a maldistribution of aid? From the start of the Gaza war on October 8, 2023, to October 12, 2024, Israel has allowed into the Gaza Strip 1,074,745 tons of aid in 54,454 trucks. There has been no dearth of aid. Repeatedly we have been assured that there is “famine” in Gaza or “people are starving in Gaza,” but none of these fearful conditions have actually come to pass. There has not been starvation or famine in Gaza. What there has been is a maldistribution of aid once it enters Gaza from outside. Armed...

Vice President Harris publicly agreed with a protestor this week who interrupted her to accuse Israel of committing “genocide.” The moment went down during a campaign stop Thursday at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, when a pro-Hamas UWM student began yelling out while the Democratic presidential nominee was speaking, video of the exchange showed. “I am so invested in you all, in every way,” Harris can be heard saying as the interruption began. “And in genocide right?” the heckler said. “Billions of dollars in genocide. Billions of dollars in genocide.” Someone off-camera can be heard whispering “shut up,” but the outburst...

US Vice President and Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris spoke to Jewish supporters on Friday ahead of Yom Kippur, and vowed that she would never allow Iran to acquire nuclear weapons. “Iran is a destabilizing and dangerous force. When Donald Trump was president, he let Iran off the hook,” claimed Harris, who accused Trump of pulling the US out of the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran “without any plan, leading to an unconstrained Iranian nuclear program.” “Make no mistake: As President, I will never hesitate to take whatever action is necessary to defend American forces and interests from Iran, and...

Vice President Kamala Harris issued a statement Monday in commemoration of the October 7, 2023, terror attack on Israel, expressing sympathy for the victims but adding that she would “always fight for the Palestinian people.” Harris’s message continues a pattern of equivocation by the Biden administration — showing solidarity with Israel against terrorism, but also showing solidarity with the Palestinian cause in whose name the terror was committed. While describing the October 7 attack in graphic terms, and calling for the release of the remaining hostages, Harris also added that she was “heartbroken over the scale of death and destruction...

A cabinet-level political appointee of Minnesota's Democratic Gov. Tim Walz decorated the walls of her home with posters of murderous communist dictators, according to a photo posted on Facebook in December 2021 that was discovered by a Minnesota resident and shared with Fox News Digital. Ida Rukavina, the commissioner of Minnesota's Department of Iron Range Resources and Rehabilitation, was appointed by Walz in 2022 to oversee the economic development of the northeastern part of the state, where the world's largest untapped copper-nickel reserve sits. ... Meanwhile, last week, the Daily Caller News Foundation uncovered that one of Walz's other political...

Alex Soros, son of billionaire financier George Soros, huddled with Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz and hosted him at his New York City apartment. "Honored to host Governor Tim Walz at my home in New York City!" Soros wrote in a X post Tuesday. The 38-year-old Soros has been politically active since taking the reins from his father, donating millions to political committees ... It is unclear if or how much Alex has donated to the Harris-Walz election campaign. Fox News Digital has reached out to the Open Society Foundations (OSF) for comment.

In her first solo and unscripted interview since succeeding Joe Biden atop the Democratic Party, Vice President Kamala Harris touted the Biden administration’s decision to pause the delivery of certain munitions to Israel as the country continues its 11-month war with Hamas in Gaza. Speaking at the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) conference in Philadelphia on Tuesday, Harris pointed to the suspension of 2,000-pound bombs as a key move by the White House to push Israel toward a ceasefire. “One of the things that we’ve done that I’m entirely supportive of is the pause that we put on the...

Richard Grenell@RichardGrenell Arab American leaders in Detroit have been told by the Kamala campaign that @keithellison is on the short list to be Attorney General if she should win.

Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris has a new "climate engagement director": Camila Thorndike, a veteran figure in the far-left climate movement who has suggested she will not have children over fear of climate change and most recently worked for a group at the center of efforts to ban gas stoves. Thorndike served for two years in various senior positions at Rewiring America, a climate-focused nonprofit that has advocated for the United States to rapidly electrify its entire economy—from the transportation and manufacturing sectors, to the residential and power sectors—according to her LinkedIn profile. In her role with the Harris campaign,...

During the 2020 election, the DNC announced a partnership with the Action Network, a leftist nonprofit, aimed at raising money to “elect Democrats up and down the ballot”. Now the Action Network is boasting that “in the first 24 hours after President Biden endorsed Vice President Harris, organizations raised over $70 million using Action Network.” “Action Network has been foundational to the DNC’s fundraising and organizing success over the years,” a DNC official gushed. Action Network was also crucial to the fundraising of Antifa. Going by the International Anti-Fascist Defence Fund on the Action Network, the mostly peaceful but also...

On Monday’s broadcast of CNN’s “OutFront,” Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, who appeared in his personal capacity, responded to a question on if the Democratic Party and its presidential candidate, Vice President Kamala Harris, will ever support a ceasefire and arms embargo on Israel to win votes by stating that Harris is “behind peace. She’s one of the first people to have spoken out in the administration about a ceasefire. It has to be the kind of ceasefire that comes with the hostages coming home,” And has “been very focused on outreach to those who are taking to the streets, because...

When then-President Obama awarded California labor leader Dolores Huerta the Presidential Medal of Freedom — the nation’s highest civilian honor — one person was notably absent from the ceremony in the White House’s East Room: Julie Chavez Rodriguez. Huerta has known Chavez Rodriguez, the granddaughter of the legendary Cesar Chavez, who co-founded the United Farm Workers union with Huerta, since she was an infant. Chavez Rodriguez was working in the Obama administration at the time, but those who know her said her absence from the ceremony was not the least bit surprising. “I couldn’t find Julie because she was busy...

EXCLUSIVE — Under Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN), the state of Minnesota awarded over $2 million to an Islamic group that fundraises for a charity linked to an al Qaeda affiliate, according to funding records reviewed by the Washington Examiner. The Islamic Association of North America, the recipient of the state grants from 2019 to 2024, is fundraising after Hamas’s Oct. 7 attack on Israel last year for Rahma Worldwide, a Michigan-based charity that says it is shipping humanitarian aid to Gaza, according to flyers. In a since-deleted Facebook post in October 2023, Rahma Worldwide President Shadi Zaza revealed his charity...

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz reportedly turned down interview requests with The New York Times to address fresh criticisms he's facing over his response to the George Floyd riots in 2020. Walz, who has served as governor since 2019, is accused of failing to act quickly enough as rioters burned and looted businesses for days before he sent in the National Guard. Over 1,500 businesses and buildings were burned, with property damage estimated at $500 million, according to the Minneapolis Star Tribune. The Democrat's actions have once again come into the spotlight after he was chosen as Vice President Harris' running...

The Harris-Walz campaign has appointed Ilan Goldenberg as Director of Jewish Outreach and Policy Advisor. Goldenberg will act as the campaign’s primary connection to the American Jewish community. A Harris campaign aide told JTA the appointment had been made against the background of pressure from progressive groups regarding her stance on the Gaza war and US military assistance to Israel, and Republicans using Democratic positions on Israel as a political tool. The aide praised Goldenberg’s extensive experience, describing him as a foreign policy expert with comprehensive knowledge of US-Israel relations, security cooperation, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and Iran. His background includes...

But it's obvious which way Kamala leans. Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democrat Party’s nominee for president, is trying to walk a political tightrope on the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza. On the one hand, to court as many moderate Jewish voters as possible, she repeats her canned statement of support for Israel’s right to defend itself, even going so far just recently to brand Hamas as “terrorists.” But at the same time, she is also currently entertaining the idea of an arms embargo against the Jewish state, according to pro-Palestinian advocates who spoke with her just before...

As Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and his police chief were frantically calling Governor Tim Walz in the summer of 2020 to save a besieged police precinct, Governor Tim Walz refused to send National Guard soldiers to help the beleaguered police officers. Later, in rationalizing and justifying his conscious decision to let riots metastasize, Walz said the Guard wasn't up to the task."I don’t think the mayor knew what he was asking for. He wanted the National Guard, and what does that mean? I think the mayor said, 'I request the National Guard, whew, this is great. We’re going to have...

The riots and looting that took place over the summer of 2020 aren’t easily forgotten–especially by Minnesota residents who watched their cities burn for weeks on end. While many would like to leave the riots in the past, these events remain inseparably connected to Democratic presidential frontrunners Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. GOP Vice Presidential nominee J.D. Vance was one of the first to address what’s being called the “burn-and-bail” team of politicians who allowed Minnesota to be burned and looted for days on end and who helped to bail the rioters out...
