In the run-up to the 2010 passage of the Affordable Care Act (ObamaCare) then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said, “We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it.” Now many Democrats are urging that same approach with respect to electing Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris: Voters have to elect her to find out what she’ll do.

Republicans worry Trump blowing their chances for Senate majority
Senate Republicans are worried that former President Trump could be blowing their chances of winning back the majority as he flails in his response to Vice President Harris’s surge of momentum, according to GOP aides and strategists.
Harris has narrowed Trump’s lead in Republican-leaning Senate battlegrounds such as Ohio and Florida and pulled ahead in other states where Republicans have a chance of picking up seats, such as Arizona, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

Kamala Harris wants to be commander in chief. Here’s what’s on her (short) resume.
Kamala Harris has held two of the best political jobs in Washington if you don’t care about getting results: U.S. senator and vice president.
So it’s hard to know precisely how servicemembers, veterans and U.S. national security would be handled if she wins the White House and becomes President Harris. She has a slim record on these issues and seems intent on saying as little as possible about anything before the November vote.
But although her record is ...

This month, 18 House Republicans submitted a letter to House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) urging him not to repeal the Inflation Reduction Act’s clean energy tax credits if Republicans maintain or expand their House majority in this year's election. They emphasized that these “energy tax credits have spurred innovation, incentivized investment, and created good jobs in...many districts represented by members of our conference.”
These Republicans are likely reacting to a repe...
Whitmer says people ‘reading too much’ into price gouging plan specifics
Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer said on Sunday people are “reading too much” into the specifics of the price-gouging plan from the Harris-Walz campaign, amid backlash from pundits and Vice President Harris’s political opponents.
“Well, I think people are reading too much into what has been put out there. We know that Kamala Harris is going to be focused on building up more affordable housing. We know that Kamala Harris has already delivered on making sure that healthca...
Trump continues personal attacks against Harris: ‘I’m a better looking person’
Former President Trump campaigned in the battleground state of Pennsylvania on Saturday and went after Vice President Harris’s physical appearance as his Republican allies have pushed him to instead focus on the policy differences with his political opponent.
“I am much better looking than her,” Trump told supporters at a rally in Wilkes-Barre, Pa. “I’m a better-looking person than Kamala.”
The former president made the comments while referencing a recent Time ...
[Editorial] Health priorities for Kamala Harris
The Democratic National Convention begins on Aug 19 in the wake of President Joe Biden's seismic decision to leave the presidential race. The Biden administration—including Kamala Harris—deserves great credit for bringing stability to the country after the attack on the US Capitol instigated by Donald Trump as well as for a health agenda that included reinstating both financing for WHO and the UN Population Fund and the US's role in the Paris Climate Agreement, introducing an expanded child t...
