Presidential candidates hesitate to single out the poor for extra help
In her major economic speech last Friday, Vice President Kamala Harris declared that “building up the middle class will be a defining goal of my presidency, because I strongly believe when the middle class is strong, America is strong.” Her approach follows in the footsteps of her Democratic predecessors -- Presidents Clinton, Obama and Biden all embraced versions of a middle-out approach to build the American economy.
But in a Pew poll conducted earlier this year, 9 out of 10...
Pelosi uses convention stage to highlight Trump’s role in Jan. 6 attack
CHICAGO – Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) went after Donald Trump on Wednesday, using her prime-time platform at the Democratic National Convention to warn voters that his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol is enough evidence he poses an outsized threat to American democracy.
But in her signature style, she never once mentioned his name.
Instead, Pelosi dedicated a large part of her short speech to revisit the Jan. 6 attack, when a mob of Trump...
Harris campaign targets Asian Americans in battleground states in new ads
The Harris campaign on Wednesday launched a pair of ads specifically targeting Asian American and Pacific Islanders in battleground states, seeking to appeal to a fast-growing voting bloc that will play a key role in November.
The campaign unveiled one ad, titled "Reduced," that highlights Trump's past comments about getting rid of the Affordable Care Act. Trump has in recent days suggested he would only get rid of the landmark health care legislation if he can find an alterna...
Obama warns of ‘tight race’ ahead, ‘dangerous’ return of Trump
CHICAGO - Former President Barack Obama warned about the close race between Vice President Harris and former President Trump in November, while bashing his successor as dangerous, chaotic and unsympathetic.
“This will still be a tight race in a closely divided country. A country where too many Americans are still struggling, where a lot of Americans don’t believe government can help and as we gather here tonight, the people who will decide this election are asking a very simpl...
Voters have to elect Kamala to find out what she’ll do
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.
You won’t find out much about her policies from the unveiling of Harris’s economic plan&nbs...
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 ...
