Pennsylvania senate candidate Dave McCormick (R) released an advertisement criticizing Vice President Harris using footage from her 2019 presidential campaign after his opponent, Sen. Bob Casey (D-Pa.), endorsed her run for office.
“Bob Casey just endorsed the most liberal nominee in U.S. history,” McCormick posted with the video on social media platform X.
The video opens with Casey saying Harris is “inspiring and very capable.” The senator says Americans will be “p...
Sanders, holding back endorsement, seeks influence with Harris
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) has held off from officially endorsing Vice President Harris as the Democratic presidential nominee, and he is seeking to help shape the focus of her campaign and her agenda if she is elected.
Sources close to Sanders say he has no intention of challenging Harris, who is on a glidepath to winning the nomination after President Biden’s decision to not seek reelection.

Harris takes on Trump in first campaign rally: ‘We’re not going back’
Vice President Harris on Tuesday held her first campaign event as the lead contender for the top of Democratic presidential ticket, rallying supporters in key state Wisconsin around beating former President Trump in November.
She was met with a loud and excited crowd in the Milwaukee area, with bystanders outside the venue where she spoke holding up signs that said “We love u Kamala.” Another sign said “Kamala Harris changes lives. Watch her change the world.”
During...
With Biden out, Trump is still the favorite
It’s official. After mounting calls from the Democratic establishment, President Joe Biden has exited the 2024 race. The American public had long called for it. For at least the last two years, even a majority of Democrats have wanted the president to step aside.
Biden leaving the race is not just significant but historic. No president has willingly exited this close to an election. It’s humiliating to be the first. But many progressives, some of whom formerly supported Biden,...
Young Democrats embrace Harris, but need convincing on Gaza
Young liberals are bursting with enthusiasm for Vice President Harris’s new White House campaign, pointing to a strong contrast between her and former President Trump, but some are concerned she is overlooking major concerns for students.
Harris can piggyback off the accomplishments of the Biden administration on numerous issues college students care about, such as student loans, but, after weeks of protests over the Israel-Gaza war on campuses this year, others are wor...
Where Kamala Harris stands on health care issues
Vice President Kamala Harris, who said she will seek the Democratic nomination after President Biden decided not to continue his reelection campaign, has previously staked out health positions to the left of President Biden.
But there isn’t expected to be much daylight between her policy priorities and President Biden’s.
Harris will be able to claim ownership of Biden’s health wins—like a $35 insulin cap, Medicare drug price negotiations and an out-of-pocket c...
Taxing the rich is no silver bullet for saving Social Security
“Make the very wealthy begin to pay their fair share.” That was President Biden’s response when asked at last month’s presidential debate what he would do to address the looming insolvency of the Social Security trust fund. Combined with his opposition to benefit reductions of any kind, the implication is that Social Security’s finances should be stabilized by taxing the rich alone. In practice, this tax-only approach is like trying to patch a cracking dam with duct tape. Indeed, rather...
Trump allies unload on Harris after Biden backs her as nominee
The Trump campaign and Republicans wasted no time going on the attack against Vice President Harris on Sunday after President Biden backed her as the party’s next nominee upon ending his own 2024 bid.
Republicans used their convention this week to signal how they would go after Harris should she replace Biden atop the ticket, and on Sunday the party followed through, bashing Harris for her handling of the root causes of migration, tying her to the Biden administration’s handli...
