A town hall analysis breaking down the policies Kamala Harris was asked about Wednesday night abruptly flipped into a discussion about the inconsistencies in how the vice president and Donald Trump are being treated, with one CNN panelist declaring: “They’re not taking the same exam.”

“He gets to be lawless, she has to be flawless. That’s what's unfair. That's what's unfair tonight,” said former Obama White House official Van Jones. “They're not taking the same exam. Look, she has policies, she may not articulate them perfectly every time…but she’s fighting for actual ideas that will help real people and he’s talking about people’s penises, and so they are not taking the same exam and that’s pissing people off – it’s pissing me off.”

A Democratic strategist wasn't buying Donald Trump's latest gripe that President Joe Biden's "lock him up" statement was "illegal."

"Lock her up" chants that became popular at Trump's campaign rallies in 2016 got flipped around Tuesday by Biden, who told campaign workers in New Hampshire on Tuesday, "We’ve got to lock him up." After a brief pause, he appeared to catch himself, adding: "politically."

Former President Donald Trump took to his app to rage against Kamala Harris following the vice president's town hall in Pennsylvania, reverting back to calling her "comrade" and saying she has a "warped mind."

CNN moderator and anchor Anderson Cooper asked Harris if she believes Trump is a "fascist," in line with statements recently made by Mark Milley and John Kelly, Trump's former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and former White House chief of staff, respectively.

"The cruelty is the point" isn't just an idle phrase, argued conservative former Naval War College professor turned Atlantic commentator Tom Nichols — it's the fundamental reason why, no matter how much "depravity" comes from former President Donald Trump, it only makes his most devoted supporters like him more.

This comes amid new reporting on how Trump privately sang the praises of Adolf Hitler's generals to his former chief of staff, retired Marine Gen. Mark Kelly, and tried to renege on his offer to pay for the funeral service of a fallen Latina soldier. These things might turn off wavering moderate Republicans Vice President Kamala Harris needs to win — but don't count on Trump's hardcore believers growing any conscience over it, Nichols wrote.

New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu on Wednesday refused to distance himself from Donald Trump after reports that the former president made admiring comments about Hitler – saying it’s “not fair” to criticize Trump and not Democrats who have taken an anti-Israel stance.

“I have all the respect in the world for John Kelly, half the country doesn't think they're voting for a fascist. It's just that's not where the American voter is,” Sununu told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer on Wednesday. “So, I appreciate John Kelly hates Donald Trump. I appreciate a lot of people don't like Donald Trump, but at the end of the day, if you want to have a whole story about how would Trump act in the White House, we've already seen it. He's already been there – he was there for four years.”

Attorneys for CBS News are pushing back on former President Donald Trump's legal threats to the network over Vice President Kamala Harris' interview, CNN reported Wednesday.

The letter, delivered to Trump's counsel, noted that CBS has a First Amendment right to do what it wants with Harris' interview, and that Trump's legal team hasn't provided any basis to sue over how that information was presented.

A former model became the latest woman to accuse former President Donald Trump of sex abuse, according to a report.

Stacey Williams, who worked as a model in the 1990s, told The Guardian she was introduced to Trump in 1992 by Jeffrey Epstein, the billionaire financier and convicted sex offender who gained notoriety for his sex crimes and who killed himself in prison. She and Epstein were casually dating at the time.

Calling retired Marine General John Kelly “dumb” and a "lowlife,” Donald Trump on Wednesday unleashed a social media tirade aimed at his former chief of staff, who in a series of articles this week revealed startling details of the former president’s inner thoughts – which Trump blamed on "pure Trump Derangement Syndrome Hatred."

“Thank you for your support against a total degenerate named John Kelly, who made up a story out of pure Trump Derangement Syndrome Hatred! This guy had two qualities, which don’t work well together. He was tough and dumb. The problem is his toughness morphed into weakness, because he became JELLO with time!" Trump wrote in a post Wednesday afternoon.

Conspiracy theories about hacked voting machines promoted by former President Donald Trump's closest allies after the 2020 election are being revived – but this time the Trump campaign “appears to be largely acting behind the scenes,” according to reports.

Despite past far-fetched claims of hacked election machines being widely debunked – including by a series of judges who dismissed election-related cases brought by the Trump campaign – those closest to Trump are again rolling out the theories “as part of a late-campaign strategy to assert that this year’s election is rigged,” according to The New York Times.

Chris LaCivita, Donald Trump’s current campaign co-manager, reposted statements on social media condemning the violent and deadly January 6, 2021 insurrection and attack on the U.S. Capitol—and blaming Donald Trump for that day’s violence.

“On January 6, 2021, LaCivita reposted several posts that harshly condemned Trump, suggesting that even some of his closest allies once viewed the deadly outcome as a direct result of Trump’s lies,” CNN‘s Andrew Kaczynski reports.

A former campaign official for George W. Bush said that while Gen. John Kelly's comments about Donald Trump won't likely impact vote turnout, they could suppress conservatives in states with tight races.

A bombshell interview with Kelly posted Tuesday included audio of Kelly speaking in his own words about his disgust of Trump. The report came mere hours after another story from The Atlantic reported shocking details about Trump's reneging on a promise to cover funeral costs for the family of a slain Army private.

Former President Donald Trump's campaign issued a furious statement attacking Vice President Kamala Harris over her press conference on Wednesday.

Harris specifically raked Trump over the coals for his newly revealed remarks while in office to his former chief of staff, retired Marine Gen. John Kelly.
