Former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton used the Democratic National Convention stage to lay bait that lured Donald Trump into a trap, a CNN analyst said Monday.

Harris used her speech to change tactics away from President Joe Biden’s focus on the GOP’s threat to the nation, and instead took aim at Trump for being “an unserious man,” Stephen Collinson wrote.

Former President George W. Bush chief strategist Matthew Dowd issued Americans a warning against any election 2024 data presented by longtime GOP pollster Frank Luntz after the ex-Fox News contributor predicted that Robert F. Kennedy (RFK) Jr. can help win the White House for Donald Trump.

Dowd on Saturday night wrote in a post published to X: "Please, please ignore anything Frank Luntz says... no matter if it is good or bad. He is a grifter who makes up most of his data. and has been wrong in nearly every election."

The tearful response from Democratic Vice Presidential nominee Tim Walz's son as his father pointed to his family and said, "Hope, Gus and Gwen you are my entire world, and I love you” drew a sneer from one of Donald Trump's most avid supporters — which led one of her critics to call her "vile" on social media.

During the Minnesota governor's acceptance speech, he talked about his family and the difficulties he and his wife had in conceiving daughter Hope and son Gus which led his son to jump up with tears in his eyes and point and claim, "That's my dad!"

Political experts and journalists slammed former Fox News host Megyn Kelly for a 'racist' comment she posted to X Monday night during coverage of the first night of the Democratic National Convention.

The right-wing commentator wrote: "Laphonza Butler spkg - (she filled Feinstein’s seat) - celebrating that she and Harris both graduated from historically black colleges. Imagine the white person up there: I’m proud to tell you I went to a mostly white university!"

Veteran GOP pollster Frank Luntz said during a CNBC interview that "the issues and conditions" many voters have long cared about — such as inflation, crime and immigration — "favor Donald Trump" and, because of that, the ex-president "should be winning this election."

However, The Hill reported that Luntz noted, "He is seeing a 'broad shift' in the 2024 polls toward Vice President" Kamala Harris.

Donald Trump keeps shrinking and no longer presents himself as the "scary guy" he projected in his first campaign, according to MSNBC's Chris Matthews.

The former president seems to be fixated on a recent Time magazine cover featuring an illustration of Kamala Harris, saying last week that the image reminded him of his own wife Melania and then insisting at a rally Sunday that he's "better looking" than the vice president, and Matthews told "Morning Joe" that communicated his insecurity and inherent weakness.

Economic experts are ripping apart one of Donald Trump's latest false claims.

During the ex-president's Pennsylvania rally Saturday, he said, "A tariff is a tax on a foreign country. A lot of people like to say it’s a tax on us. No. It’s a tax on a foreign county. It's a tax that's ripping us off and taking our jobs. And it's a tax that doesn’t affect our country."

The energy Vice President Kamala Harris has brought to the Democratic Party since President Joe Biden dropped out and endorsed her last month is reportedly spreading to down-ballot races.

Politico reported Saturday that Democrats in both the House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate are feeling especially bullish about their chances in November thanks to the momentum Harris has been providing with her ascendancy. While House Democrats in battleground districts were hesitant about tying their brands to Biden, they're now reportedly vying to have the opportunity to stump with her as they hit the home stretch of their own respective campaigns.

Former President Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner is planning to build a luxury resort in Albania. But the proposed development has been attacked by critics in both the Balkan country and the U.S.

Kushner — who launched his private equity firm Affinity Partners after Trump was voted out of office — has been working with Richard Grenell, who was Trump's acting Director of National Intelligence, on plans to develop in both Albania and Serbia. According to a new Washington Post report, the two have been working closely with Albania's "very transactional" prime minister, Edi Rama on plans to develop a section of protected land in the southern European nation.

Vice President Kamala Harris on Friday afternoon will unveil her plan to lower housing costs as part of her broad economic agenda that includes $25,000 for first-time home buyers, tax incentives to build greatly-needed starter homes, an expansion of the child tax credit for families with newborn children, and a federal ban on food price-gouging to help Americans lower costs at the supermarket, according to CNN.

"The initiatives are part of Harris’s emerging economic plan, which she is expected to outline in a speech on Friday in Raleigh, N.C.," the Wall Street Journal reports. "The vice president and Democratic nominee will propose restoring the expanded child tax credit of up to $3,600 a child, which was put in place in 2021 amid the Covid-19 pandemic and expired at the end of that year. She will also throw her support behind a new further expansion of the tax credit that would provide up to $6,000 in total relief for middle- and low-income families during the first year of a child’s life."
