‘She Ain’t Made For This’: Harris Aides, White House Staffers Vilify Her In Expository Book

By Robert McGreevy | Daily Caller A book written by progressives, about progressives, blasted Kamala Harris at a time when political observers speculated whether she would be replaced as Joe Biden’s vice president. In it, White House aides outlined Harris’s inability to define a political agenda and her total reliance on personality. Now, with Harris in a tight race for the presidency with Donald Trump, the book has been resurfaced eight months after its release. As recently as the summer of 2023, a cavalcade of Democratic party superstars like California Gov. Gavin Newsom were brandishing their leadership credentials as calls grew for Biden to step aside. Once that time passed, the left-wing whisper machine turned on Harris and her historically abysmal favorability numbers. RE...

Walz says he lied about going to war because he struggles with grammar

By M.D. Kittle | The Federalist Kamala Harris and her running mate sat down with CNN’s Dana Bash for their first semi-substantive interview since Joe Biden’s political wake. Gov. Tim Walz, D-Minn., has made a political career out of “misspeaking.” Why stop now?   The No. 2 on the Democratic Party’s forced dream team campaign ticket, featuring the joyous empty vessel Vice President Kamala Harris, was back to doing what he seems to do best Thursday night. After several weeks of evading actual questions, Harris and her running mate sat down with CNN’s Dana Bash for the first semi-substantive interview of their honeymoon campaign — more than a month after President Joe Biden’s political wake.  READ THE FULL STORY AT THE FEDERALIST

Harris Backtracks on 2020 Commitments in First Interview as Dem Candidate — but Can’t Explain Why

By Zach Kessel | National Review Vice President Kamala Harris addressed several high-profile flip-flops Thursday night in her first sit-down interview since ascending to the top of the Democratic ticket — but failed to explain exactly why she’s backed away from the progressive positions she staked out during her primary run four years ago. CNN’s Dana Bash first asked Harris about fracking, which the vice president came out in favor of banning during her ill-fated 2020 presidential primary campaign. “You know, and I made that clear on the debate stage in 2020 that I would not ban fracking as president, I did not ban fracking as vice president,” Harris said. “I will not ban fracking.” READ THE FULL STORY AT NATIONAL REIVEW

Liberal NBC reporter calls out Kamala Harris for saying her ‘values haven’t changed’: ‘Her positions have changed’

By Joseph A. Wulfsohn | Fox News Yamiche Alcindor went viral for her blunt assessment of the VP's remarks. An NBC News reporter took aim at Vice President Kamala Harris for "not explaining why her positions have changed" during her first interview as the Democratic nominee.  On Thursday, CNN's Dana Bash pressed Harris about her various policy flip-flops that have raised eyebrows in recent weeks, abandoning the far-left agenda she campaigned on in 2019. "I think the most important and most significant aspect of my policy perspective and decisions is my values have not changed," Harris told Bash.  READ THE FULL STORY AT FOX NEWS

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to remain on Colorado’s ballot after suspending campaign and endorsing Trump

By Ernest Luning | Colorado Politics Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will remain on Colorado's general election ballot after he suspended his campaign and endorsed Republican nominee Donald Trump, Kennedy's campaign told Colorado election officials Tuesday. “We are not withdrawing in Colorado," Kennedy's campaign told the Colorado Secretary of State's Office, according to a spokesman. The message added that Kennedy "has encouraged all of his supporters to vote for him in CO!" The former Democrat appeared Friday alongside Trump in Phoenix, where Kennedy announced he was backing the former president and would withdraw from the ballot in several states where his candidacy could swing the outcome. The Associated Press reported that it was already too late, how...

Colorado voters will decide whether to overhaul election system, adopt statewide ranked choice voting

By Jesse Paul | Colorado Sun Colorado voters will decide in November whether to make a series of major changes to the state’s election system.  Initiative 310, which qualified Thursday to be on the November ballot, would change most of Colorado’s primaries so candidates from all parties run against each other, followed by a ranked choice voting general election.  The supporters of the measure, led by Kent Thiry, the wealthy former CEO of Denver-based dialysis giant DaVita, needed to collect more than 125,000 voter signatures to get the initiative on the ballot.  READ THE FULL STORY AT THE COLORADO SUN

Biden-Harris admin working to ‘Trump-proof’ hundreds of DOJ jobs, watchdog says

By Jamie Joseph | Fox News The Biden-Harris administration may be attempting to "Trump-proof" the Department of Justice (DOJ) by hiring permanent appointees to some federal positions, according to findings from a watchdog group's public records request.  Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) documents obtained by Protect the Public’s Trust (PPT) and shared with Fox News Digital show the administration is using an "obscure hiring authority" that bypasses normal hiring processes based on merit to secure DOJ positions that could thwart former President Trump's agenda if he takes office in 2025.  READ THE FULL STORY AT FOX NEWS

Can RFK Jr.’s health platform convince women to vote Trump?

By MIG Reports One of Donald Trump’s significant electoral challenges is attracting moderate voters and women, particularly those who support the Democratic pro-choice platform, despite Trump’s neutral stance on abortion at the federal level. These voter groups, which traditionally lean Democratic, have proven elusive for Trump’s campaign. However, recent shifts in voter priorities and emerging alliances could alter the political landscape. Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s (RFK) recent Trump endorsement has shifted focus for many moderates and women who prioritize health freedom and child welfare. This alliance may offer a new avenue for Republicans to appeal to these voters. READ THE FULL STORY AT MIG REPORTS
