Vice President Harris announced Friday she would create a bipartisan council of advisers if elected president, in an effort to reach out to Republican and independent voters while in Arizona.
“Not only will I have a Republican in my Cabinet, but I’m also going to — I was talking to my team about it — I want to create some structure around the following. Which is, I love good ideas, wherever they come from, I love good ideas,” Harris said.
She added, “part of...

Harris: It’s ‘a pretty weak move’ for Trump to not agree to another debate
Vice President Harris on Thursday went after former President Trump, calling it weak to not agree to another debate after he shut the door on a second match-up.
“I think it’s a disservice to the voters. I also think, it’s a pretty weak move,” she said at a rally in Chandler, Ariz. “But even if he will not debate, the contrast in this election is already clear. This election is about two very different visions… for our nation. One, his, focused on the past. The other, ...
Here’s one way America’s many ‘pro-worker’ candidates can deliver
Even during a contentious election year, plenty of Democrats and Republicans agree on something: With millions of Americans earning money on freelance and gig platforms, it’s time to focus on innovative ideas to better incorporate this growing self-employed workforce.
Portable benefits — those tied to a worker rather than an employer — are rapidly moving to the top of a bipartisan agenda.
In fact, the next president and Congress, no matter who that happens to be, wi...

Carville: ‘Very, very concerned’ about election in wake of hurricanes
Longtime Democratic strategist James Carville said Wednesday he’s concerned time is running out for the Harris campaign to drive a message to voters ahead of Election Day, especially as the hurricanes dominate the news cycle this week.
“The only thing I feel is, the election is coming Nov. 5. I’m scared to death,” Carville said on MSNBC’s “The Beat with Ari Melber” when asked how he feels about an unrelated documentary, which showcases the strategist’s decades-long ro...
Harris cynically rediscovers Obamacare a month before Election Day
Remarkably, before his defenestration, Joe Biden had not made healthcare much of an issue in his re-election campaign. This seemed unusual. It was the first time since Bill Clinton’s 1992 race that the creation of national health insurance hadn’t emerged as a major campaign issue.
Biden’s relative silence on healthcare was all the more surprising given that he had long made healthcare a signature issue, as he did in the 2020 race. He talked about healthcare in his swan son...
Harris leans into health care in race against Trump
Vice President Harris is putting health care front and center in the campaign with a month to go before the election, looking to repeat past Democratic successes.
Abortion has been the primary health issue for much of the campaign, but Harris is reopening Democrats’ 2018 playbook, when they took control of the House in a “blue wave” in large part by elevating threats to ObamaCare and painting former President Trump as an existential risk to their economic and health security...
Harris pressed on changing positions, economic plan in ’60 Minutes’ interview
Vice President Harris was pressed on her changing policy positions and her expensive economic plan on “60 Minutes,” in what proved to be her toughest media interview since becoming the Democratic nominee.
CBS News’s Bill Whitaker questioned Harris on a variety of issues, including Harris’s evolving stances on fracking, immigration and Medicare. At one point, Whitaker, citing the nonpartisan Committee for Responsible Federal Budget, estimated her plans could add more t...
Win or lose, JD Vance will be the new and improved Donald Trump in 30 days
With just 28 days until Election Day, I can’t predict who will win. But after last week’s vice-presidential debate, I predict Sen. JD Vance of Ohio will be the frontrunner for the 2028 GOP nomination.
Even if Democrats win the White House in November, Vance will instantly become the most sought-after headliner for GOP fundraisers ahead of the 2026 midterms. On Capitol Hill, the junior senator from Ohio will be a power player in the fight to pick a successor to Sen. Mitch McCon...
