“Kamala Harris is going to be an amazing president,” Gov. Polis said.

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear refused to deny Monday that he is in the running to be Kamala Harris’ veep pick, saying instead that “it’s flattering to be a part of it.” During an appearance on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe”, Beshear repeatedly dodged questions about whether he’d been asked — or would at least consider — being Harris’ running mate after President Biden dropped his re-election campaign on Sunday. “I don’t know how that process is going to work, but it’s flattering to be a part of it,” the governor said.

Like Doug Emhoff before her, another VP pick's spouse has left Biglaw thanks to politics. "Usha has informed us she has decided to leave the firm. Usha has been an excellent lawyer and colleague, and we thank her for her years of work and wish her the best in her future career."— A statement given by a Munger Tolles & Olson spokesperson to Bloomberg Law, concerning the recent departure of litigator Usha Chilukuri Vance, in the wake of her husband Sen. J.D. Vance’s selection as Donald Trump’s running mate in the 2024 election. Usha, a Yale Law graduate who clerked...

Usha was born in California; per The New York Times, she is “the child of Indian immigrants,” and grew up in the suburbs of San Diego. According to her LinkedIn, she attended Mt. Carmel High School, a public high school located in Rancho Peñasquitos.

... Strategists said Rubio’s background, experience as a legislator and skills as a political candidate would make him a strong candidate to widen the ticket’s appeal. “I happen to think that he’s the candidate the Biden campaign probably fears the most,” said Florida-based Republican strategist Justin Sayfie. “Of all the people that President Trump can pick to be his running mate, I think that the Biden campaign probably would not like to see Marco Rubio on the ticket.” Rubio, 53, is among the youngest candidates on Trump’s short list. He was first elected to the Senate in 2010 with support...

Former President Donald Trump has reportedly started the process of vetting running mate contenders with at least seven candidates reportedly having received documents from his campaign, the New York Post reported on Thursday (June 5). Republican Sens. Marco Rubio (Florida), JD Vance (Ohio) and Tim Scott (South Carolina), Reps. Byron Donalds (Florida) and Elise Stefanik (New York), North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum and former Trump administration Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson have all reportedly exchanged varying degrees of vetting documents with the Trump campaign, a source with knowledge of the situation confirmed. The source said that the vetting...

A married woman with kids thanked Dr. Ben Carson at a Texas A&M university event last night for saving her life decades earlier. Dr. Carson, a former pediatric neurosurgeon at Johns Hopkins Children’s Center who later served in the Trump administration as the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, spoke at the Turning Point USA event. “God truly had his hands in this miracle,” Sara Bowker said. She was born with craniosynostosis, a condition where the skull improperly fuses together, according to Bowker. “You gave me the opportunity to graduate high school, college, and start graduate school, play competitive sports,...

Former President Donald Trump said he is considering South Dakota Republican Gov. Kristi Noem as his vice presidential nominee for 2024. “Kristi Noem has been incredible fighting for me,” Trump said on Fox News last month. “She said, ‘I’d never run against him because I can’t beat him.’ That was a very nice thing to say.” Noem’s track record as governor, however, showcases a state executive more eager to capitulate to corporate constituents at the Chamber of Commerce and capitalize on the glamour of political stardom than governing on behalf of Republican voters. Three years ago, Noem shot down a...

WASHINGTON — President Biden liked to joke during the height of the pandemic that controversial ex-COVID czar Anthony Fauci could replace Kamala Harris as his No. 2, a bombshell new book says. As Biden’s team scrambled to tackle the coronavirus in 2021, the president would quip during meetings that his then-White House chief medical adviser should sit in the vice president’s chair. “When the president assembled his COVID team, he would jokingly direct Anthony Fauci to sit in the vice president’s chair,” according to “The Last Politician” by Franklin Foer — who says he had “unparalleled access to the tight...

I don't think this needs any explanation. That said, it is painful to watch...because Kamala is always painful to watch.

It's no secret the the mainstream media and the Democrats lie constantly and advance myths to promote their preferred politicians. Barack Obama was a radical backbench politico who was treated like a demigod by the Democrats. The new flavor of the month is Kamala Harris. Supposedly Harris is unique as the first minority member to serves as Vice President. WRONG! WRONG! WRONG! The distinction belongs to Republican Charles Curtis who served as Vice President for President Herbert C. Hoover. Curtis was a Kansan who was a registered member of the Kaw nation. His ancestry included Osage and Potawatomi blood as...

Hollywood stars ripped Fox News’ Chris Wallace for his role as the moderator of the first presidential debate on Tuesday, saying that the news anchor was too timid and lost control of the proceedings as President Donald Trump took control of the stage through sheer force of will. Chris Wallace — who repeated that false Charlottesville “very fine people” hoax and erroneously referred to critical race theory as “racial sensitivity training”– had trouble maintaining even a semblance of order as President Donald Trump went on the offensive, dominating the show by aggressively interrupting and heckling Joe Biden. Celebrities seemed frustrated...

Following cast reunions of The Princess Bride and The West Wing, Wisconsin Democrats are importing more Hollywood celebrities in their effort to turn the state blue and send President Donald Trump packing. This time, the cast of HBO’s Veep, headed by Julia Louis-Dreyfus, will take part in a virtual reunion to raise money in the battleground state. Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who hosted the final night of the Democratic National Convention, announced Saturday that the virtual Veep reunion will take place October 4. “Anything you donate will be used to ensure that Trump loses Wisconsin, and thereby the White House,” the official...

Joe Biden has chosen Kamala Harris, the prominent senator from California whose political career has included many barrier-breaking moments, as his running mate, his campaign announced on Tuesday.

Last year, Kamala Harris may have become the first presidential candidate in history to laugh derisively at the idea that the Constitution limits what a president can do. When Joe Biden said that her plan for gun control by executive fiat didn’t pass constitutional muster, she scoffed and deployed one of her canned one-liners: “I would just say, ‘Hey, Joe, instead of saying, ‘No, we can’t,’ let’s say, ‘yes we can!’  ” Yes, we can — flippantly blow by the constitutional requirement that new laws be passed by Congress. Harris was one of the Democratic field’s great enthusiasts for unilateral...

The Breakfast Show host Charlamagne tha God, whose real name is Lenard Larry McKelvey, said elevating Klobuchar onto the Democratic presidential ticket would be akin to committing political "suicide." McKelvey found himself in the middle of a viral moment yesterday when Biden told him that black people "ain't black" if they vote for Trump. . . . especially at this moment, after the comments that he made ... He would be a fool not to put a black woman as his running mate."

CONCORD, N.H. — Amy Klobuchar rode a late-breaking wave of momentum over the past week to finish third in the New Hampshire primary Tuesday night, vaulting from relative obscurity into contention for the Democratic nomination for president.

“Seinfeld” actor John O’Hurley sounded off on Hollywood for suppressing “diversity of thought” in the wake of Debra Messing and Eric McCormack calling for supporters of President Trump to be outed. Trump plans to attend a Sept. 17 fundraiser in Beverly Hills during a trip to California that will also include visits to the San Francisco Bay Area and San Diego, officials said. The “Will & Grace” co-stars took issue with a Trump fundraiser happening in their city and called for donors to be doxxed. “I think they have the bully pulpit right now to say it out loud. I don’t...
