Vice President Kamala Harris pushed back at her MSNBC interviewer Wednesday evening over a controversial claim about former President Donald Trump.

"The 11th Hour host" Stephanie Ruhle grilled Harris about her new economic policy plan in an exclusive interview during which she tried to fact-check Harris — and found herself checked in return.

After Vice President Kamala Harris delivered a major economic speech Wednesday, billionaire entrepreneur and "Shark Tank" investor Mark Cuban called former President Donald Trump — whom he's known for decades — nothing more than a salesman, and said Harris is the one in charge.

Cuban was on hand at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh and spoke to MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace after Harris' speech. Cuban walked through his experience with the ex-president.

Former President Donald Trump faulted Vice President Kamala Harris by claiming she "talked about the birds and the bees" during a recent debate on ABC News.

While speaking to a group of supporters in North Carolina on Wednesday, Trump asserted that the debate was "three on one" because the moderators and Harris fact-checked him.

At a rally in Pennsylvania this week the Republican nominee for President, Donald Trump, extended his attacks on Haitian immigrants, claiming that they have "inundated" small towns in the Keystone State in what he called an "invasion."

The ex-president this time did not accuse the Haitian immigrants of "eating the cats" and "eating the dogs" of local residents, as he did, falsely, weeks ago when he and his running mate, JD Vance, targeted Haitians in Springfield, Ohio. But he did claim – falsely – that Haitian immigrants have "virtually bankrupt" the town of Charleroi, Pennsylvania, a manufacturing town of about 4000 with strong ties to the glassmaking industry, including Pyrex. The town is also known as the birthplace of actress and singer Shirley Jones.

Rep. James Comer (R-KY), chair of the powerful House Oversight Committee, vowed Wednesday to open an investigation into Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's recent trip to Pennsylvania after he called Republican vice presidential nominee J.D. Vance "radical."

On the same day Zelenskyy toured a weapons plant in Pennsylvania, the Ukrainian leader told The New Yorker that the war should not end at the expense of his country's territories. Zelenskyy lamented that Vance was "too radical" to be Donald Trump's vice presidential running mate.

Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) scolded Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) for holding a hearing on government "weaponization" by arguing that former President Donald Trump was the "ultimate" violator.

Speaking Wednesday to the House Judiciary Committee, Goldman accused Jordan of holding "another hearing about the same topic."

Residents near a toxic chemical leak from a railcar in a small town in southwestern Ohio remained under evacuation orders on Wednesday even after the leak had been contained.

A leak of styrene, a chemical used in plastic and rubber production, was discovered Tuesday afternoon in Whitewater Township, Ohio, about 16 miles west of Cincinnati. Video showed the chemical spewing from the top of a railcar reportedly owned by Genesee & Wyoming, a U.S.-based multinational.

President Joe Biden spoke to the co-hosts of "The View" on Wednesday where co-host Whoopi Goldberg described Donald Trump as nothing more than an annoying bug.

The conversation turned to Biden stepping off the ticket and former Trump aide Alyssa Farah Griffin asked whether he held any animosity to Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) for being among the Democratic leaders who pushed Biden off the ticket.

During an appearance on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" on Wednesday morning, the New York Times' Jeremy Peters claimed that, despite recent polls showing the race between Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris stabilizing, the former president is running into new trouble.

During his sit-down with MSNBC host Jonathan Lemire, Peters was asked about the current polling that shows a close race.

"The polling had Biden's number right in 2020, did not have Trump's," he began. "You're still hearing a lot of concern among pollsters and strategists in the campaigns, not in the campaigns, who say that these polls can undercount Trump support. It is just a fact that Trump voters are less likely to pick up the phone, less likely to answer a survey and there is this phenomenon where they are less likely to cop to their support for Trump because they are somewhat ashamed by it."

"They're not sure that this is the kind of guy they want people knowing that they vote for, these are not the people who put the MAGA signs and the MAGA flags in their front yard," he elaborated. "That said, we have seen kind of a remarkable amount of stability in the race since the debate; things have moved by maybe a point or two here and there."

"You know, the polling in states like Arizona that could be critical is still really unclear, North Carolina is interesting because it has tightened, because there you have a MAGA problem —that is probably the biggest threat to Trump at this moment," he told the host.

"As one Republican strategist put it to me during one of the midterm elections, when things go haywire, when there are big national news stories of, like, mass shootings, crisis, upheaval, people are reminded of the chaos of Trump," Peters continued. "He's the president of chaos and they don't like that and, even though they may not like the direction of the country right now and that's bad for Biden and Harris, Trump gets tainted with that and I think people just really don't want to relive all that."
