Kamala Harris

In a recent ABC News/Ipsos poll, Senator Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) emerged as the frontrunner among potential running mates for Vice President Kamala Harris, the presumptive Democratic nominee for the 2024 presidential election. The poll, conducted on July 26-27, 2024, revealed some interesting insights into the public perception of various Democratic officials rumored to be in contention for the VP slot.

Senator Kelly secured the highest net favorability rating among the potential candidates, with a positive 10-point margin. 22% of respondents viewed him favorably, while only 12% held an unfavorable opinion. However, it's worth noting that a significant portion of voters - 41% - admitted to not knowing Kelly, while 24% expressed no opinion.

During an appearance on MSNBC on Sunday, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, acting as a private citizen, joined the pile-on afflicting Sen. J. D. Vance that has been unrelenting since the Ohio Republican was selected by Donald Trump chose him to be his 2024 presidential running mate.

Speaking with host Jen Psaki, the former Democratic mayor of South Bend, Indiana subtly leaned into the narrative that Americans find Vance "weird" based on a history of comments over the years that have the Trump campaign reeling.

As the man known as "Mayor Pete" explained to the host, "Where do you start? You know, they selected somebody who really reminded many Americans of why they are put off by the turn that the Republican party has taken in the last two years."

During an appearance on CBS' "Face The Nation," Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) faced off with host Robert Costa when confronted with Sen. J.D. Vance's criticism of "childless women" with cats having no stake in the future of America.

The Ohio Republican, who was chosen by Donald Trump to be his vice presidential running mate in the 2024 election, has been swamped by criticism since Vice President Kamala Harris became the Democratic nominee to the point that GOP insiders fear Vance has done irreparable damage to the ticket.

On Sunday, Costa asked the unmarried South Carolina Republican, "Senator, I understand your focus on Vice President Harris, the presumptive Democratic nominee, but there are also many Americans who do not have children. You're also not just a senator, you're a political strategist , you work informally with former president Trump and so many Republicans. You have a political mind, is it a mistake for Senator Vance to keep talking about Americans who don't have children when it comes to a national campaign?"

"Right, yeah. I don't have children," Graham parried before adding, "But I'm going to vote for J.D. and Trump because I think we'll be safer and more prosperous and more secure. I want to end the Biden-Harris debacle."

"You know you should never say anything to hurt anybody's feelings, but when you look at all these interviews by J.D., but he was talking about how the Democratic party has abandoned the traditional family."

He later added, "So this idea of trying to marginalize J.D. and make him some kind of bad person is not going to work. He's not a bad person, he's a good person. He has served his country honorably and is going to help president Trump win."

On Sunday morning, CNN host Jake Tapper faced an avalanche of criticism after inviting Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) on to talk about the changing presidential race now that Vice President Kamala Harris appears to be the 2024 Democratic presidential candidate.

What ended up happening was Tapper sitting back and letting Cotton ramble with no fact-checking as Arkansas Republican went on extensive rants about Harris — all of them current MAGA talking points about the vice president who Republicans are trying to paint as more liberal than Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT).

Democratic Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear drew standing ovations from the crowd Saturday at the Iowa Democratic Party’s Liberty and Justice Celebration event.

Beshear said the upcoming election would be vital to protecting Americans’ rights and keeping former President Donald Trump out of office.

During an appearance on MSNBC with host Katie Phang, Shannon Watts, one of the women who put together the "White Women: Answer the Call" Zoom call that set a record for Zoom attendees, explained how it came together and proudly announced the most recent donation total that was raised for Vice President Kamala Harris.

Watts, the nation's preeminent advocate for decreasing gun violence and the founder of Moms Demand Action, was prompted by host Phang, "I was so excited to have you on the show, because look, I dialed in for that Zoom call on Thursday. I was even doing it remotely from a plane, but I was so excited to hear the energy on that call. "

"But I need to know, at last count it was nearly 200,000 women that raised over $8.5 million in less than 90 minutes, but I think these numbers are still growing. So what are the latest on that call? " she asked.

"I woke up to an email this morning saying that we have now raised over $11 million from a two-hour call, which is pretty astronomical," Watts reported. "And I'm just so thrilled and grateful for everyone who has donated."

II mean, I have to pick up my jaw off the floor a little bit, because I saw from followers and people on social media, a lot of these people, that gave the money from this call, these are some first-time donors, number one, but number two, a lot of them signed up for recurring contributions because they believe so much in this," Phang replied.

Watts gave credit to earlier mass Zoom calls made by Black women and explained to Phang, "When i woke up Tuesday morning I thought, are white women going to do this, too?"
