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.

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 ...
Who was the JD Vance voters saw at the debate?
Well that was ... unexpected. The first question is, was JD Vance kidnaped or did he voluntarily agree to swap places with his body double? The inoffensive, agreeable, occasionally empathetic GOP VP hopeful that showed up for the debate is not the JD Vance that ran for the Senate, turned up for podcasts or goes out and campaigns for Donald Trump. Vance is intelligent and articulate. His trademark is adapting his convictions and his personality to...

Walz-Vance debate: Health care issues in the crossfire
Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz will face off in the first vice presidential debate on Tuesday.
Health care has featured prominently in the campaign so far, and the debate could be a key opportunity for each side to press the other on their plans – and to attack the records of the candidates at the top of the opposing tickets.
Vance has thrust ObamaCare back into the national conversation with his explanation of former President Trump’s “...
