There’s never been any real love lost between Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, and now we’ve got new dirt dropping. According to political insider Mark Halperin, Biden’s inner circle is sitting on a stash of damaging intel about Harris, ready to deploy if she even thinks about turning on her former boss. During Friday’s edition of his “Morning Meeting” newsletter on his 2WAY platform, Halperin dropped a not-so-subtle warning: if Harris ever turns on Biden, the former autopen president’s handlers are ready to unleash a barrage of “embarrassing” information to put her in her place. ... if Joe Biden feels...

The odds-on Kamala Harris becoming the next president have improved sharply from 50/1 (2 percent) to 25/1 (3.8 percent) among one bookmaker after the former vice president announced on Wednesday that she won't be running to be the next governor of California in 2026.

Former Vice President Kamala Harris was mocked on Monday for commemorating the one-year anniversary of the start of her failed presidential campaign. One year ago Monday, then-President Joe Biden announced via social media that he would be dropping out of the presidential race. He shortly thereafter endorsed Harris, who went on to become the Democratic nominee for the 2024 presidential election. Harris celebrated the anniversary by writing a post on X with photos from her past campaign. “One year ago today, I began my campaign for President of the United States. Over the 107 days of our race, I had...

Kamala Harris gave an interview before the presidential election that was so “confusing and weird” that she and the host mutually agreed not to air it, a social media personality recently revealed. The former Democratic presidential candidate’s appearance on “Subway Takes,” a popular online series hosted by Kareem Rahma where guests admit their favorite hot take, was filmed in Summer 2024 but never saw the light of day, the presenter said. “Her take was really confusing and weird, not good, and so [we] mutually agreed we shouldn’t publish it,” Rahma told Forbes reporter Steven Bertoni in an interview posted on...

Former Vice-President-turned-perpetual-gaffe-machine Kamala Harris just added another entry to her blooper reel, and this one was apparently so disastrous that even her own handlers begged to deep-six it. TikTok star Kareem Rahma, host of the series Subway Takes, revealed on Forbes’ “Top Creators” show that a 2024 sit-down with Harris was spiked after she unleashed a “really, really bad” hot-take: “Bacon is a spice.” Rahma — a practicing Muslim who doesn’t eat pork — said the remark was so baffling, tone-deaf, and politically radioactive that both sides mutually agreed never to let America see the tape. Kamala Harris gave an...

Kamala Harris has triggered further speculation that she is not running for governor of California and has higher political ambitions. Rumors of a 2028 White House run started circulating after she delivered a lackluster three-minute virtual address to the Democratic state political convention that was politely received by the audience. In a steady, monotone voice, she spoke about the Trump administration’s recent actions against universities and praised activists efforts to fight the president’s agenda. “While this administration in Washington tries to divide us, we hear know that we are stronger when we stand together,” she said, a flashback to her...

Kamala Harris left an audience baffled as she laughed and talked about Playboy magazine covers. The former vice president also launched into a confusing 'word salad' after being asked about the importance of humility. Her bizarre comments were made on Sunday during a question and answer session at the Australian Real Estate Conference, where she shared a 'funny' story about her mother. Harris sat on stage with real estate industry veteran John McGrath for over an hour and recalled that her mother was very focused on women's reproductive health, which included sharing her thoughts about 'fibroids' and 'hormones.' She said:...

Donald Trump addressed the graduates of West Point on Saturday during their commencement, giving credit where due, saying, the experience at West Point had been "anything but easy" and he also gave out pardons for cadets with minor offences. Civilian @cherylinperil gave Trump a shoutout over on X, where she wrote in a post: "President Donald Trump giving commencement address to one thousand officers joining the best military, outfitted by President Donald Trump. He also bestowed customary pardon to all West Point Cadets!" As Trump walked to the podium, wearing a black suit, white shirt and purple tie, the crowd...

Biden and Jill are on the View, and Biden is asked if there is any truth to his mental decline. So he starts talking about the insurrection on January 6 or something and he just kind of goes downhill from there. It’s actually very funny.

"... so I just found the uh body cam footage involving his son i wanted to go over that today i mean for this guy to do what he did that just tells you what kind of father he is low I mean I know I say this all the time low I low capacity but this is like a stupid moment this is a stupid idea nobody with a right of mind as a father a good father right would even imagine doing something like this..."

She didn’t avoid the elephant in the room. Former Vice President Kamala Harris emerged from political hibernation to deliver a stern rebuke of President Trump — before bizarrely shifting focus to a lighthearted video of elephants at the San Diego Zoo during an earthquake. “A lot of folks are wondering what’s going to guide us through this moment. How are we all going to figure out how to chart the course,” Harris said during her Wednesday address at Emerge’s 20th anniversary gala in San Francisco. “Please allow me, friends, to digress for a moment.” “Okay, it’s kind of dark in...

The new book Fight: Inside the Wildest Battle for the White House by journalists Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes was released on April 1. The book shares behind-the- scenes reporting of the 2024 campaign of former President Joe Biden, his decision to drop out of the race and the subsequent Harris campaign, which ultimately failed.(snip) "She was completely shocked, and Tim Walz was shocked. We take you inside his hotel room at the Mayflower, and he's sitting there stunned. He has no words," Parnes said on the podcast. "And people are kind of explaining to him, same thing with her....

From flop to favorite. Former Vice President Kamala Harris is the preferred 2028 option by a wide margin, according to a survey of Democratic voters released Friday. The failed 2024 presidential nominee received 36% support from Democratic and Democratic-leaning independent voters in the early 2028 primary poll conducted by Morning Consult. Harris, 60, has a stunning double-digit lead over her closest potential competitor, former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, who garnered just 10% support from his party. … Newsom was among three possible candidates who received 5% support in the Morning Consult poll, the others being far-left “Squad” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez...

It’s a game of political hide and seek. Democratic insiders are still stinging from losing the election to Donald Trump — and view Kamala Harris as a political “Where’s Waldo” who’s gone “MIA,” they say. “She’s MIA!” groused one Democratic insider to Page Six of Harris. The political source added Harris’ husband “Doug [Emhoff] is telling people she’s the leader of the party, but there is a clear lack of leadership.” “The person you just spent $2 billion on trying to elect? I’m glad she’s having a good time going to a musical, and being repped by CAA,” said the...

Failed Democrat presidential candidate Kamala Harris appeared drunk and rambled about nonsense during the AI conference HumanX at Fontainebleau in Las Vegas over the weekend. It’s hard to understand why Harris would be invited to speak at such a conference because if Harris were an expert on anything, it certainly wouldn’t be AI. This is probably why Harris veered off-script and droned on about her obsession with Doritos. Harris once said she binged on Doritos in dismay after former President Donald Trump secured the presidency in 2016. The story was recounted at the HumanX conference, where the former Vice President...

Maybe she needed the snacks for another reason … **SNIP** The failed 2024 Democratic presidential candidate went off on a bizarre (and nacho cheese-flavored) tangent while trying to make a point about DoorDash and affordable housing during her headline slot at the HumanX conference at the Fontainebleau Las Vegas on Sunday. Harris, 60, left many baffled during her conversation with Nuno Sebastiao, CEO of data science company Feedzai, as she recounted ordering food on DoorDash to keep her going while watching last week’s Oscars. “We did DoorDash ’cause I wanted Doritos. And the red carpet part was about to start...

Vice President Kamala Harris is once again in the spotlight for her public speaking—this time facing allegations that she was intoxicated while delivering a disjointed address to the cast and crew of A Wonderful World: The Louis Armstrong Musical on Broadway. Harris and her husband, Doug Emhoff, attended two Broadway productions over the weekend, watching A Wonderful World before later seeing Gypsy the New York Post reported. But it was her comments following the first show that have set social media ablaze.

Former Vice President Kamala Harris served up her signature “word salad” while attempting to deliver an inspirational speech to the cast of Broadway’s “A Wonderful World: The Louis Armstrong Musical” — with critics mocking the failed presidential candidate as the “drunk auntie.” Harris and her husband, Doug Emhoff, were spotted taking in two Broadway productions over the weekend: “A Wonderful World” and later “Gypsy.” After being greeted by hearty cheers from the crowd — and even a standing ovation — Harris delivered a rambling post-show speech to the cast and crew. “When we think about these moments where we see...
