Vice President Harris implored Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday to accept a cease-fire deal that would pause the fighting in Gaza and release hostages, as U.S. leaders say they are closer than ever to an agreement. "Let's get the deal done so we can get a cease-fire to end the war," she told reporters in brief remarks after her bilateral meeting with Netanyahu at the White House. "Let's bring the hostages home, and let's provide much-needed relief to the Palestinian...
CHARLOTTE - In one of his first mentions of the likely Democratic presidential nominee, Donald Trump told a Wednesday night crowd here that "KAH-mala" Harris was the "new victim we have to defeat." A short time later, tying her to the war in Ukraine, he went with a different variation of her first name: "KUH-mala." And about halfway through his speech, he promised to name migrant crime after "Kah-MAL-a." https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/07/25/trump-mispronounces-k...
WASHINGTON - Vice President Kamala Harris told reporters on Thursday that she's ''ready to debate Donald Trump.'' She accused him of ''backpedaling'' away from a previous agreement for a debate hosted by ABC News on Sept. 10. ''I think the voters deserve to see the split screen that exists in this race on the debate stage,'' she said after landing at Joint Base Andrews following a trip to Indiana and Texas. https://www.startribune.com/harris-says-she-wants-original-plan-for-d...
The initial event of Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign in Minnesota centered on reaching out to Asian American voters in St. Paul, hoping to build enthusiasm among voters who might be swayed by a candidate positioned to be the first Black woman and first South Asian woman nominee for president. "I do think there are people who haven't been engaged before, who are calling their friends and family members" - including those who see themselves reflected in Harris's heritage, said Shivanthi...
President Biden delivered a somber, reflective address from the Oval Office on Wednesday evening, extolling democracy and decrying dictators during his first remarks to the nation since his monumental decision to end both his reelection campaign and political career. "The defense of democracy, which is at stake, is more important than any title," Biden said. "I draw strength, and find joy, in working for the American people. But this sacred task of perfecting our Union is not about me. It's...
Hillary Clinton, who holds a spot in history as the country's only female presidential nominee from a major party, is now hoping Kamala Harris can do what she couldn't: defeat Donald Trump and break the "highest, hardest glass ceiling" in American politics. Clinton, in an op-ed endorsing Harris in the New York Times, says she knows how Vice President Harris can do it this time. "I know a thing or two about how hard it can be for strong women candidates to fight through the sexism and double...
WASHINGTON - President Joe Biden on Wednesday delivered a solemn call to voters to defend the country's democracy as he laid out in an Oval Office address his decision to drop his bid for reelection and throw his support behind Vice President Kamala Harris. Insisting that ''the defense of democracy is more important than any title,'' Biden used his first public address since his announcement Sunday that he was stepping aside to deliver an implicit repudiation of former President Donald Trump....
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz is reportedly on the shortlist of candidates Vice President Kamala Harris is considering to be her vice presidential running mate. What would happen if the DFL governor becomes vice president? The state Constitution clearly lays out a line of succession. If the governor were to vacate his office, the state's lieutenant governor, Peggy Flanagan, would take his place. The last presiding officer of the Minnesota Senate, DFL Senate President Bobby Joe Champion, would fill...
ST. PAUL - A Jewish lobbying group has condemned a GOP-endorsed Senate candidate and endorsed his primary opponent less than a month before Republican voters will decide who will face Sen. Amy Klobuchar in November. "Minnesota has not elected a Republican senator in more than 20 years and liberal incumbent Amy Klobuchar is no pushover," the Republican Jewish Coalition said in a statement Tuesday. "Control of the U.S. Senate is up for grabs and it's essential that the GOP put forward the...
Weeks of pent-up Democratic panic gave way to a historic flood of campaign cash for likely presidential nominee Vice President Harris this week, as allied groups reported massive fundraising hauls amid donor elation. The coordinated Harris campaign reported Tuesday morning that they had raised more than $100 million from 1.1 million donors in the first 41 hours after President Biden announced he was stepping aside. FF PAC, also known as Future Forward, the largest outside group supporting...
WEST ALLIS, Wis. - Vice President Harris made her presidential campaign trail debut Tuesday with record grass-roots fundraising, the largest Democratic crowd to date and new polling showing the race is now a toss-up, as former president Donald Trump began adapting to her swift ascent to a likely Democratic nomination. To a roaring crowd of thousands in this Milwaukee suburb, Harris moved to redefine the November election as a choice between the future and the past, a prosecutor and a felon. "I...
Sen. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) announced he plans to resign effective Aug. 20, after months of Democratic hand-wringing over his scandalous federal trial and recent conviction. "While I fully intend to appeal the jury's verdict, all the way and including to the Supreme Court, I do not want the Senate to be involved in a lengthy process that will detract from its important work," Menendez wrote in a letter announcing his resignation to New Jersey's governor and Senate officials. The longtime...
Kamala Harris' nascent presidential campaign has reportedly asked Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz for vetting materials as she seeks a vice presidential running mate. The second-term DFL governor said it's been "a little weird" to see his name floated as a possible VP pick, but he wouldn't comment on whether he's being actively vetted by the Harris campaign. "I'm not going to talk about the specifics that we're in on that. At this point in time, we're just going to leave it at that," Walz said Tuesday...
WEST ALLIS, Wisconsin - A roaring crowd of battleground state voters greeted Vice President Kamala Harris on Tuesday as she opened her public case against Republican former President Donald Trump by declaring November's election will be "a choice between freedom and chaos.'' ''In this campaign, I promise you, I will proudly put my record against his any day of the week,'' Harris said. ''We believe in a future where every person has the opportunity not just to get by, but to get ahead.'' Harris...
Just hours after President Biden ended his bid for reelection and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris, she has secured enough delegates to become the Democratic presidential nominee. "When I announced my campaign for President, I said I intended to go out and earn this nomination," Harris said. "Tonight, I am proud to have secured the broad support needed to become our party's nominee." According to party rules, a candidate needs the support of more than 1,976 delegates to earn the...
A majority of Democratic delegates have pledged to support Vice President Harris as the party's next presidential nominee, signaling she is likely to secure the nomination next month. To win the nomination in the first round of voting, a candidate needs the support of at least 1,976 delegates out of nearly 4,000. As of Monday evening, 2,214 delegates from at least three dozen states had endorsed Harris, according to a survey of delegates by the Associated Press. Harris kicked off her campaign ea...
After weeks of intense focus on President Biden's health and age that ended with his withdrawal from the campaign on Sunday, the script has flipped: Former president Donald Trump is now the oldest presidential candidate in history - and one who has been less transparent about his medical condition than his former opponent. Trump, a 78-year-old with a history of heart disease and obesity, according to experts, has not shared any updated bloodwork results or other specific information during this...
Democratic leaders on Monday laid out a new process for selecting a presidential nominee to replace President Biden through a virtual process that would conclude by Aug. 7, well before the party's nominating convention in Chicago next month. "Working with the Convention Rules Committee, the Democratic Party is prepared to shift the nominating portion of the Convention to an electronic format to ensure that our Democratic nominees for President and Vice President are certified before state...
Vice President Harris, whom Democrats have quickly endorsed to replace President Biden in this year's election, has been a loyal Democratic foot soldier, rarely straying from party orthodoxy. But at times she has also struggled to articulate what policy positions drive her, a vagueness that helped doom her 2020 presidential campaign. Harris has also been in the public eye a long time, and especially since becoming vice president she has become increasingly vocal - and effective, Democrats say -...
Kamala D. Harris leaned into her background as a former prosecutor to attack Donald Trump in her first presidential bid in 2020 - a message that attracted little support in the Democratic primary as Harris, short on money, ended her campaign before the first votes were cast. Now, with the Democratic Party rapidly coalescing behind her following President Biden's sudden withdrawal from the campaign on Sunday, Vice President Harris is moving quickly to make that case again in the court of public...
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, who on Monday morning endorsed Kamala Harris for the Democratic presidential nomination, has landed on the list of names being floated as her vice presidential nominee. Walz endorsed Harris for president in a post on X, thanking her for a call and pledging his "full support." "Let's go win this thing," he wrote. Other possible running mates from a handful of battleground states are seen as more likely picks to run with Harris. But, as the smoke clears from President Joe...
President Biden called Vice President Harris on Sunday to tell her directly. He spoke one-on-one with Jeff Zients, his White House chief of staff, and Jen O'Malley Dillon, his campaign chair. Zients then convened Biden's White House and campaign senior staff for a 1:45 p.m. call, so that Biden could tell those who had worked closest with him he was abandoning his dream of a second term. As Biden spoke on that call, a letter announcing his intentions went live online. The chief of staff followed...
REHOBOTH BEACH, Del. - President Biden abruptly ended his reelection campaign Sunday, sending shock waves through the political world and plunging the Democratic Party into an unprecedented scramble to choose a new nominee to face former president Donald Trump. "It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your President," Biden, 81, wrote in a letter he posted to social media Sunday afternoon. "And while it has been my intention to seek reelection, I believe it is in the best interest...
Top Democratic leaders rushed to endorse Vice President Harris on Sunday, moving to avoid any intraparty dissent over who might succeed President Biden as the party's nominee following his shocking withdrawal from the campaign. Harris will have huge financial and political advantages as she works to secure the nomination. Biden endorsed her Sunday, and top officials with his campaign made clear that she will inherit his organization. But she still has hurdles to overcome before the Democratic...
