Harris calls on Republicans to put 'country first' as Trump woos Latinos

Surrounded by more than 100 former Republican office holders and officials, Democrat Kamala Harris urged GOP voters on Wednesday to put country first and abandon Donald Trump. The Democratic presidential candidate made her case to Republican voters that the patriotic choice was her party in next month's election because Trump is unstable and unhinged" and would eviscerate democratic norms if given a second White House term. America must heed this warning," said Harris, speaking at a rally near where Gen. George Washington led hundreds of troops across the Delaware River to a major victory in the Revolutionary War. Joined by the former lawmakers and government officials for a rally in the Philadelphia suburbs, Harris said, Anyone who tramples on our democratic values as Donald Trump has, anyone who has called for the termination' of the Constitution of the United States as Donald Trump has, must never again stand behind the seal of the president of the United States." The rally was

Trump's reply similar to Harris when asked to say 3 nice things about her

Donald Trump on Wednesday was asked to name three virtues of his Democratic opponent Kamala Harris, a week after Harris was asked to do the same for the Republican nominee. His answer sounded a lot like hers. That's a very hard question," Trump said at the end of a town hall-style event hosted by Univision, the nation's largest Spanish-language network. That's the toughest question. The other ones are easy. Trump first said Harris had harmed our country horribly before complimenting what he said was her ability to survive. Then came the jab. Because she was out of the race, Trump said, referring to Harris' early departure from the 2020 Democratic presidential nominating campaign and her replacement this summer of President Joe Biden atop the 2024 ticket. And all of a sudden she's running for president. He also noted that she seems to have some pretty long-time friendships and that she seems to have a nice way about her. I like the way, you know, some of her statements, some of h

US has broken immigration system that needs to be repaired: Kamala Harris

The United States has a broken immigration system that needs to be repaired, Vice President Kamala Harris said on Wednesday in a rare interview with the Republican-leaning news channel during which she sparred with its popular host. The point is that we have a broken immigration system that needs to be repaired,' Harris told Fox News anchor Bret Baier in a rare sit-down with the news channel. So, your Homeland Security Secretary said that 85 per cent of apprehensions, Baier interjected. I'm not finished. We have an immigration system, Harris tried to continue with her answer. It's a rough estimate that 6 million people have been released into the country, the Fox News anchor interrupted again. And let me just finish. I'll get to the question. I promise you. I was beginning to answer, the vice president pleaded. When you came into office, your administration immediately reversed a number of Trump border policies. Most significantly, the policy that required illegal immigrants to b

Jill Biden is out campaigning again but not for her husband this time

Jill Biden wasted no time after she stepped up to the microphone at a suburban Detroit restaurant. Now some have come to (the) Detroit area recently and thrown around some insults, but from what I've seen this is a vibrant, thriving city, she said. It was a swipe at Republican Donald Trump, who aimed a recent dart at the most populous city in a critical Midwestern battleground state. The first lady was back on the campaign trail for the first time in months, but no longer pushing Democrats to support her husband, President Joe Biden. Instead, she is now putting her energy into boosting Vice President Kamala Harris, who Biden endorsed for president after he dropped his reelection bid. On Tuesday, the first lady wrapped up a five-day swing through five battleground states. While the race itself has changed, what remains unchanged for Jill Biden is her effort to highlight contrasts with Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, in the hope that Democrats can keep the former president

Harris will cut her own path as President with fresh perspective: Biden

President Joe Biden on Tuesday said Kamala Harris would cut her own path once she wins the 2024 election, allowing for more daylight between him and his vice president as she works to win over skeptical voters three weeks before Election Day. Kamala will take the country in her own direction, and that's one of the most important differences in this election, he said. Kamala's perspective on our problems will be fresh and new. Donald Trump's perspective old and failed and quite frankly, thoroughly totally dishonest. Biden's comments may give Harris more license to stake out her own political and policy stances in the critical closing phase of the presidential race, and appear to go further to distance the two than Harris has herself. The vice president's aides have privately expressed some frustration that the 81-year-old president has been too focused on his own legacy and not the race to succeed him. But Harris has of late faced increasing pressure to articulate how she'd govern .

US elections 2024: Harris, Trump campaign in battleground Pennsylvania

Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump took their fight for Pennsylvania to opposite ends of the state Monday, with Harris speaking in the northwest corner in Erie and Trump in the southeastern suburbs of Philadelphia. Democrat Harris and Republican Trump have been making regular appearances in what is the country's largest battleground state it will be Harris' tenth visit to Pennsylvania this campaign season, and just last week Trump made stops in both Scranton and Reading. Harris at an evening campaign rally planned to raise Trump's comments over the weekend suggesting that the U.S. military be used to deal with the enemy from within, according to a senior Harris campaign official. The official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to preview the remarks ahead of a campaign rally in Erie, said Harris will hammer home the idea that Trump sees Americans who disagree with him as enemies. She'll argue that the comments made in a Fox News Sunday Morning ...

Harris resumes campaigning, meets Black leaders in hurricane-hit N Carolina

Vice President Kamala Harris met Saturday with Black leaders in North Carolina and was to help volunteers prepare relief packages for hurricane victims as she resumed campaigning in the state, followed on Sunday by attending church and holding a campaign rally. The weekend trip is her second to the battleground state after it was struck by Hurricane Helene, with Harris stepping back into campaign mode in a place that Democrats see as a potential pick-up in November's election. North Carolina narrowly backed Republican Donald Trump in 2020. The Democratic presidential nominee went to North Carolina last week to survey the destruction caused by Helene and pledged assistance for its victims. She was to attend church Sunday as part of her campaign's Souls to the Polls effort in Greenville, a city of roughly 90,000 on the state's coastal plain. Before departing the Washington area, Harris told reporters accompanying her that she looked forward to talking with residents first and foremost

Harris in good health, possesses resiliency for prez fight, says her doctor

Vice President Kamala Harris is in excellent health and possesses the physical and mental resiliency required to serve as president, her doctor said in a letter released Saturday that summarizes her medical history and status. Dr Joshua Simmons, a US Army colonel and physician to the vice president, wrote that Harris, 59, maintains a healthy, active lifestyle and that her most recent physical last April was unremarkable. She possesses the physical and mental resiliency required to successfully execute the duties of the Presidency, to include those as Chief Executive, Head of State and Commander in Chief, he wrote in a two-page letter. Harris' advisers hope to use the moment to draw a contrast with Republican Donald Trump, who has released only limited information about his health over the years, and raise questions about his fitness to serve, according to a campaign aide who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive matters. Trump, 78, has released very little health ...

Donald Trump drives his anti-immigration message in Aurora, Colorado

Donald Trump detoured from the battleground states Friday to visit a Colorado suburb that's been in the news over illegal immigration as he drives a message, often using false or misleading claims and dehumanizing language, that migrants are causing chaos in smaller American cities and towns. Trump's rally in Aurora marked the first time ahead of the November election that either presidential campaign has visited Colorado, which reliably votes Democratic statewide. The Republican nominee has long promised to stage the largest deportation operation in U.S. history and has made immigration core to his political persona since launching his first campaign in 2015. In recent months, Trump has pinpointed specific smaller communities that have seen large arrivals of migrants, with tensions flaring locally over resources and some longtime residents expressing distrust about sudden demographic changes. Aurora entered the spotlight in August when a video circulated showing armed men walking .

AR Rahman records 30-minute performance, bid to boost Harris' campaign

Legendary music composer A R Rahman has recorded a 30-minute performance video in support of Vice President Kamaal Harris, which is expected to give a big boost to her presidential campaign ahead of the November 5 general elections. Rahman, 57, is the first major international artist from S Asia to have endorsed Harris, who is of mixed Indian and African origin. With this performance, A R Rahman has added his voice to a chorus of leaders and artists who are standing up for progress and representation in America, said Shekar Narasimhan, chairman of the AAPI Victory Fund. This is more than just a musical event, it's a call to action for our communities to engage and vote for the future we want to see, he said after AAPI Victory Fund announced that Rahman, the globally renowned Indian composer and musician, has recorded an exclusive 30-minute performance in support Harris's 2024 presidential campaign. This powerful endorsement by one of the most iconic voices in the South Asian commun

Harris faces urgency to explain how her presidency will differ from Biden's

With less than four weeks until Election Day, Vice President Kamala Harris is facing new urgency to define how her potential presidency would be different from that of President Joe Biden. Her struggle to present herself both as a candidate of change while demonstrating a loyalty to the politician she serves under was made clear on Tuesday, when she was asked on ABC's The View how she would lead differently than Biden. Harris said, We're obviously two different people and I will bring those sensibilities to how I lead. But when pressed to identify a decision made by Biden that she would have taken another way, she demurred. There is not a thing that comes to mind, she said. She followed up later in the show by saying she would put a Republican in her Cabinet. Two and a half months into her unexpected candidacy, Harris has so far largely relied on her age and biography to signal a break from the 82-year-old Biden and her 78-year-old Republican opponent, former President Donald ...
