Juan Williams to detail rise of ‘America’s second civil rights movement’ in new book
Juan Williams is giving new eyes to a project that he first started more than 30 years ago, penning a book on what he describes as the growth of a 21st century civil rights movement.
"New Prize for These Eyes: The Rise of America's Second Civil Rights Movement" will be released in January, publisher Simon & Schuster announced this week.
The tome is a follow-up to Williams's 1988 bestseller-turned-award-winning PBS series, "Eyes on the Prize," which focused o...
Want fewer abortions? Vote for Harris.
One consequence of Kamala Harris’s newborn presidential candidacy is that abortion has become an even bigger campaign issue. Harris has been talking about it for months, far more than Biden did. She aims to mobilize pro-choice voters on her side.
But pro-life voters, who want more than anything else to minimize the number of abortions, also ought to vote for her. They should try to elect Democratic congressional candidates, as well. A Trump presidency, particularly if he gets ...
GOP ready to pounce on Harris policy pivots
Vice President Harris’s quick pivot to her White House bid has prompted an about-face on multiple key issues that could affect outcomes in battleground states, handing former President Trump and Republicans a prime attack line.
In the roughly one week since Harris replaced President Biden as the probable Democratic nominee, her campaign has moved to distance her from a series of positions she took when she was a candidate in the 2020 presidential primary.
She no long...
Durbin says Harris’ shift on some policies won’t change how people vote
Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) downplayed concerns that changes in Vice President Harris’s positions could influence voters in November.
Harris’s policy platform has changed somewhat since her 2020 presidential campaign, including now backing fracking, more strict border regulation and abandoning a proposal for a single-payer health care system.
“A position may be so central to the campaign that it makes a significant difference, but I think the bottom line is the voters ...
Harris campaign says Project 2025 ‘isn’t going anywhere’ after director departs
Vice President Harris’s campaign argues that Project 2025 will still be on the ballot in November after the project’s director left his role amid criticism from former President Trump’s campaign.
In a statement on Tuesday, the Harris campaign said that “Project 2024 isn’t going anywhere,” despite the Heritage Foundation announcing that Paul Dans, the director of the foundation-led project, is stepping down.
“Project 2025 is on the ballot because Donald Trump is on th...

‘Say it to my face’ says Kamala Harris as she again challenges Donald Trump to debate – as it happened
This blog is closed. You can find our latest US elections coverage here.
Kamala Harris’s campaign has announced a $50m advertising blitz ahead of the Democratic national convention next month with a television ad that portrays the presumptive Democratic nominee as “fearless”.
The 60-second ad will be the first in a series of paid media efforts ahead of the convention, which begins 19 August in Chicago.
We believe in a future where every person has the opportunity not just to get by, but to get ahead. Where every senior can retire with dignity. But Donald Trump wants to take our country backward. To give tax breaks to billionaires and big corporations and end the Affordable Care Act. But we are not going back.

It’s time Washington listen to Sen. McCain’s warning on the broken status quo
This week marks seven years since Sen. John McCain’s (R-Ariz.) historic vote to save ObamaCare. I will never forget a phone call I had with him just moments before he gave the big thumbs down on the Senate floor. He was reaching out about a statement I had issued opposing the Republicans’ effort to repeal ObamaCare. He thanked me for putting people over party and confidentially let me know he was going to do the same.
Although we shared the same concern that our health care sy...
