Kamala Harris

GOP infighting may pave the way to an inevitable Democratic Party victory at the 2028 elections, a veteran pollster has claimed.

Nate Silver suggested that the party merely needs a reasonable candidate, and they may have their share of choices. In his Substack column, Silver noted Gavin Newsom, who had not yet lost an election, and former Vice President Kamala Harris could be safe options for the Democratic Party at the next presidential election.

This choice is contingent, he says, on the in-fighting which is bound to come from the Republican Party finding a suitable replacement for Donald Trump. The president will leave office in 2029, but finding a potential successor has proven tricky. JD Vance, Marco Rubio, and Ted Cruz could all mount their own bids for the GOP leadership. ...

A recent New York Times article about dark money in American politics led one outgoing mayor to lob allegations against a former presidential candidate, leading to division among MAGA and a fact check.

The NYT recently published an article called "Nearly $900 Million Flowed in Secret to Help Harris and Trump in 2024." One of the authors of the piece, Teddy Schleifer, took to social media, writing, "One donor gave $97.5 million to a nonprofit that gave $250 million to Kamala Harris's super PAC."

"You'll never know who the donor is. Hello to our campaign-finance system!" he wrote, attaching the article stating that the donor was anonymous and that millions were sent in by "Future Forward USA Action, the so-called dark-money group of the main super PAC backing" Joe Biden and Harris....

Ten years after Donald Trump first ran for president, he stands at the helm of Titanic America. How did this happen?

No factors were more pivotal than the outlooks and actions of the Democratic Party leadership. Scrutinizing them now is vital not only for clarity about the past, it also makes possible a clear focus on ways to prevent further catastrophe.

Here’s actual history that corporate Democrats pretend didn’t happen:...

Jonathan Karl, chief Washington correspondent and co-anchor of This Week for ABC News, is also the author of four books on Donald Trump and his seismic impact on American politics.

First, Front Row at the Trump Show covered the first Trump presidency from a viewpoint built on Karl’s experience of reporting on Trump before he entered politics, in his years as a New York businessman and gossip column staple.

Next, Betrayal and Tired of Winning dealt with Trump’s defeat in 2020, his incitement of the January 6 insurrection, and criminal and civil court cases which seemed set to knock him out of public life, even send him to prison....

Well, Kamala Harris’s memoir is out, and while I am generally not a fan of political books, I believe this moment deserves some attention given the weighty timeframe and consequences of one of the most significant events of American history.

When this very good woman lost to the most abominable man in America last November, it opened the door to hell and exposed a fractured country that used to fight against fascists, not elect them.

We’ll know soon enough whether this is just an end of a chapter of the American story, or the definitive conclusion of that book. Today, our military is in our streets on behalf of a king, and human beings are being locked away in alligator-infested swamps....

Exactly one year ago last night, Vice President Kamala Harris confidently walked up to Donald Trump, looked him in his bloodshot eyes, offered her hand, and then proceeded to spend the next 90 minutes dragging him all over the stage of Philadelphia’s National Constitution Center in their one-and-only 2024 presidential debate.

Harris was prepared, disciplined, and clearly demonstrated her keen understanding of both domestic and foreign policy issues. She wasted no time stating her key plans for her administration, and effortlessly illustrated a command of the Constitution. She made it clear that she, not her opponent, who was a convicted felon, had spent an entire professional career upholding our nation’s laws, not violating them.

She even predicted how the debate would go down telling the world that Trump would haul out “the same old, tired playbook,” and warning he would resort to “a bunch of lies, grievances and name-calling.”...

People in President Donald Trump’s orbit noticed an unsettling change after Republicans were dealt crushing midterm losses, according to author Michael Wolff.

Wolff, a journalist who has written several books about Trump, said on Thursday’s episode of “Inside Trump’s Head” that sources described a visible change in the president after Tuesday’s election, when Democrats seized control of both the House and Senate.

“The other interesting thing that I heard from two people, and they found it interesting and a little frightening, was that the day after he seemed markedly older,” Wolff told co-host Joanna Coles....

The victory speech given by Rep-elect Anthony Constantino, who will take a seat in the House in January, left Daily Show host Jordan Klepper almost speechless on Thursday night.

Appearing before reporters, supporters and, notably, a little girl standing right in front of him, the New York MAGA Republican dropped f-bombs and spent a considerable amount of time pointing at journalists and calling them “a———s” and “f——-g a———s.”

Klepper started off the segment showing clips of the fledgling lawmaker’s rap act and pointing out, “He isn’t your grandpa’s Republican. He’s your ‘cousin who can’t see his kids anymore’ Republican.” ...

CNN's John Berman said Friday that he finds the White House’s sudden campaign cancellations “very, very odd,” just days before the midterm elections.

President Donald Trump canceled planned rallies for Sunday in Salina, Kansas, on Saturday and Dubuque, Iowa – where both states have competitive Senate races – and Vice President JD Vance also canceled a trip to Minnesota, another state with a competitive Senate race, where he was set to speak about fraud.

“Why is the White House pulling back from campaign trips just as we’re getting closer to Election Day?” Berman asked....
