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...
‘SNL’ Cold Open holds spoof VP debate featuring Walz ‘vibing’ with Vance
The “Saturday Night Live” cold open this weekend mocked both parties’ vice-presidential nominees and took aim at their friendly rapport on the debate stage Tuesday night.
The scene focused on Vice President Harris and Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff’s living room, where the Democratic presidential nominee, played by Maya Rudolph, and her husband, played by Andy Samberg, watched the debate on what Samberg’s Emhoff called the vice president’s first night off in three months.

Trump Did Not ‘Save’ Obamacare. He Just Failed to Kill It.
By trying to repeal and replace the law while president, he wound up making it popular.
Like Trump, Vance Wavers on What to Do With Obamacare
JD Vance seemed to back away from a proposal to separate healthy and sick people in insurance markets, which could cause major disruption for people with pre-existing conditions.
Vance twists Trump’s history on ObamaCare, claims he ‘saved’ the law
Vice presidential nominee Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) falsely claimed during Tuesday's debate that former President Trump “saved” the Affordable Care Act, the latest attempt by Vance and Trump to rewrite the GOP presidential nominee’s record.
Trump "actually implemented some of these regulations when he was president of the United States," Vance said during the vice presidential debate against Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D).
"And I think you can make a really good argument ...
