The Harris campaign claimed on Monday Donald Trump's team is pushing back on leaving the microphones on for the blockbuster debate with Vice President Kamala Harris in an effort to keep the Republican presidential nominee from embarrassing himself.
It comes as the ex-president is sowing doubt over whether he would show up at all for the showdown.
Harris and Trump are set to go head-to-head in their first debate in just over two weeks on September 10 on ABC News.
Former President Donald Trump appeared amused by Virginia Senate candidate Hung Cao's name during a campaign pit stop in the politician's home state.
'This is a great gentleman. I love his name: Hung Cao,' Trump, 78, said at a restaurant in Virginia alongside the candidate, who moved to the state by way of West Africa as a refugee in the wake of the Vietnam War.
'I love that name. And that name alone can get you elected,' a visibly tickled Trump said during the event Monday, spurring patrons, and even 52-year-old Cao, to laugh.
Republican vice presidential nominee Sen. JD Vance (OH) ripped President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris for their “betrayal” of the 13 U.S. service members who were killed during the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal in 2021.
Vance joined Gold Star Family members of several of the fallen service members — Marine Corps Sgt. Nicole L. Gee, Marine Corps Cpl. Hunter Lopez, and Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Jared M. Schmitz — on a press call Monday, which marked the third anniversary of the Abbey Gate bombing that took their lives.
Hundreds of former aides who served under Republican lawmakers endorsed Democrat presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris, stating that “another four years” of a Trump administration would “hurt real, everyday” Americans.
In a letter that USA Today obtained, a group of more than 200 former aides for former President George W. Bush, Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT), and former Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) write that they are reuniting and joining with former staffers for former President George H.W. Bush to endorse Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D).
Democratic strategist James Carville said Monday on CNN’s “OutFront” that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. would be in a mental hospital if he were a citizen of a “more humane country.”
Democratic strategist Paul Begala said, “Look, Bobby Kennedy had a parasitic brain-eating worm in his head and the worm died of starvation, okay. So I just think that we ought to give him like a lot of leeway because I think he’s he’s a bit eccentric.” Host Erin Burnett said, “A Trump-Kennedy ticket, do you feel have any difference of opinion here from Paul on what he said about it?
The White House on Monday revealed who is running the country with President Joe Biden on his second week of vacation.
'You know better than that,' National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby scolded the reporter who asked who was running the country.
'The president is on vacation, but you can never unplug and from a job like that. Nor does he try to,' Kirby said in a zoom briefing with reporters. 'He's very much in command,' he noted of Biden.
He pointed out Biden spoke with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday and talked to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Friday as proof the president is working.
Gold Star Family members of several of the 13 U.S. servicemembers killed during the Biden-Harris administration’s disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan were highly critical of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris on Monday, with one saying, “They just want to pretend it never happened.”
Gold Star Family members of Marine Corps Sgt. Nicole L. Gee, Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Jared M. Schmitz, and Marine Corps Cpl. Hunter Lopez joined Republican vice presidential nominee Sen. JD Vance (OH) and Reps. Derrick Van Orden (R-WI) and Ryan Zinke (R-MT) on a press call that Breitbart News attended on Monday — the third anniversary of the Abbey Gate bombing
A federal judge in the Eastern District of Texas on Monday temporarily blocked a Biden administration program that allowed undocumented immigrants married to U.S. citizens to apply for green cards without leaving the U.S.
The program, which the White House named Keeping Families Together, would provide a form of legal relief known as “parole in place” to undocumented spouses of American citizens who could prove they have lived in the U.S. continuously for at least 10 years and met a host of other requirements. Typically, undocumented immigrants married to U.S. citizens need to leave the country
I thought I'd end the day with a look at the state of the campaign ads since I hadn't done that for a bit.
Not to mention, I'm getting all sorts of Harris texts. As it's irking me enormously, so I hope the Trump campaign is building on their small, quiet ad success. I saw a few more of them a couple of weeks ago. I wanted to share it with you all, but I just hadn't gotten around to it.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — The Illinois Supreme Court on Friday upheld a lower court ruling that tossed out a law barring political parties from choosing candidates for the General Assembly when they had no one run in a primary. The court’s decision was not based on the merits of the case: Two justices recused themselves from deliberations, and the court was unable to get four votes needed to render a valid opinion. (Snip) Designed to help Democrats in the November election, it effectively prevented Republicans from drafting candidates after no one appeared in the ballot in the March primary. Draftees were
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has finally broken his silence about the controversial relationship between his company and the Biden-Harris regime.
In a letter addressed to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, Zuckerberg openly admitted that Meta, the parent company of Facebook, was subjected to relentless pressure by the Biden administration to censor content related to COVID-19, even when the content was satirical or humorous, and the infamous Hunter Biden laptop.
The Meta CEO allegedly expressed deep ‘regret’ for not being more vocal in resisting the government’s demands,
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in a letter on Monday that the Biden-Harris administration repeatedly pressured his company — which includes Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, WhatsApp, and more — to censor content that is protected free speech.
Zuckerberg made the admission in a letter to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) this week in which he said that his goal moving forward was to “be neutral and not play a role one way or another” for either any political party or ideology. He said he doesn’t even want the appearance of playing a role and will not be making political contributions.
Allies of President Joe Biden didn’t want Kamala Harris as vice president in 2020. Democrat donors, party insiders, and the media were calling for her removal from the ticket when Biden’s 2024 campaign began.
Just last month a prominent progressive lawmaker admitted that “a lot of” Harris’s Democrat colleagues were openly calling for her removal.
It was so bad that the outcry for Kamala to be removed from the campaign was far more prevalent than those demanding the removal of Biden himself, despite the fact that he had clear cognitive and motor issues.
Think about that for a minute – The President of the United States was a clear and present danger
Gov. Katie Hobbs’, D-Ariz., unilateral designation of state agencies as voter registration and ballot drop-off locations is unconstitutional, a lawsuit filed Thursday alleges.
Brought by Arizona GOP Chair Gina Swoboda and two state voters, the suit challenges the legality of two executive orders issued by Hobbs in November 2023 that authorized “certain new state agencies [to serve] as locations where a person can register to vote and drop off completed ballots.” Among the agencies directed to “make voter registration forms” and other election-related information available are the Arizona Department of Corrections, Rehabilitation, and Reentry and Arizona Department of Juvenile Corrections.
Most of us on the outside looking in last week knew the Democrat National Convention (DNC) would be nothing more than a giant choreographed circus. Nothing left to chance, nothing left unscripted. Many people, if they are not attending a political convention as delegates, participate as volunteers. It is a great way to see the process up close and personal: the good, the bad, and the ugly. But one young Democrat volunteer did not come away from her convention experience feeling fired up, energized, or ready to go out and campaign for the candidate of her choice. Instead, she feels the exact opposite.
Giggly Kamala Harris has always had a problem with people thinking she was stupid, a lightweight, a ditz, a non-thinker.
After all, she was the daughter of a Stanford professor, but somehow she couldn't get into that school, even with affirmative action.
And she got her start in politics at Willie Brown's knee, so to speak. It wasn't her brains she was selling when she 'dated' Willie.
She's since done her best to dodge reporters and avoid interviews, doing only an informercial or two with her running mate, Tim Walz, and not releasing any policy programs.
But her minions aren't doing nothing, particularly on matters of getting her campaign message out to voters.
Ever since he was selected by the Anointed One, Kamala Harris, to be her running mate in the 2024 presidential election, Tim Walz has come in for his share of heat — and he's pretty much had all of it coming. But, you know, it has to sting just a little more when that heat is coming from Minnesotans.
The Minnesota State Fair is going on this week, and among all the rides and vendors is the "Never Walz" booth, run by Action 4 Liberty MN, and they are giving the governor a piece of their minds — and drawing crowds while doing it.
Just when you thought California under the impeccably coiffed Gavin Newsom and the lunatic asylum that is the Democrats in the California state legislature couldn't get any more ridiculous, someone sets the bar even lower. Now we see that the legislature's Democratic supermajority is likely to pass a bill providing a home-buying subsidy for first-time real estate buyers of up to $150,000.
That sounds like a stupid enough idea all on its own, doesn't it? Not only is this wildly inflationary, not only will it make homes even less affordable for your average Californian,
Kamala Harris has some big problems to surmount in convincing people to vote for her.
She's too afraid, apparently, to enunciate her policies or even to do an interview or a press conference. She's so desperate she's even putting out an ad that is full of former President Donald Trump's wall that she was against. How does she think that any Americans will fall for that? That's an incredible admission of how wrong the Biden-Harris team has been and an acknowledgment that Trump was right.
The biggest problem that Harris has in the election is trying to explain to the American people why they should vote for her now
The parents of Thomas Matthew Crooks, the man who shot former President Donald Trump, have reportedly lawyered up in light of an investigation regarding the failed assassination attempt.
The Crookses have apparently hired a team of attorneys as officials with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) look into what they knew prior to the shooting at Trump’s rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13, the Daily Mail reported Monday. (X) The outlet continued:
The development comes as one family member shared with DailyMail.com that the FBI, ‘still very much has questions’ regarding how much the killer’s parents knew – while revealing that his father Matthew Crooks, 53, is

Former U.S. representative Tulsi Gabbard, who left the Democratic Party to become an independent in 2022, has endorsed former president Donald Trump days after Robert F. Kennedy Jr. suspended his campaign and threw his support behind the Republican presidential nominee.
Gabbard announced her endorsement on Monday after Trump spoke at a National Guard Association conference in Detroit, where he criticized President Joe Biden’s handling of the military withdrawal from Afghanistan three years ago this week.
“I am committed to doing all that I can to send President Trump back to the White House, where he can once again serve us as our commander-in-chief,”
From curbside abortions to gender-neutral prayer rooms, so much insane stuff unfolded at the 2024 Democratic National Convention. One of these abhorrent moments apparently snuck under the radar — until now.
It turns out that a top Kamala Harris surrogate bashed the Bill of Rights as "that little piece of paper" and urged Democrats to "reimagine democracy" on Day 1 of the DNC.
Kelley Robinson, president of the far-left Human Rights Campaign (HRC) and a prominent supporter of Kamala Harris, made the appalling comments during a daytime session addressing "how defeating Donald Trump and the Project 2025 agenda rests on the engagement of the LGBTQ+ community."

At a time when we’re experiencing so many threats like an uncertain economy, threatened allies, and wars in multiple areas, it’s crucial for America to have a leader who is fully engaged and ready to take on any challenge. Unfortunately, we have Joe Biden.
Sure, he’s the lamest of lame ducks and is probably in “forget it” mode after the way the Democrats so unceremoniously forced him out of his reelection campaign, but you’d think that Biden would be around to address the many crises happening right now. Instead, he’s enjoying some kind of endless summer.
Democrat-turned Independent Tulsi Gabbard, the former congresswoman from Hawaii, has endorsed former President Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential race against Vice President Kamala Harris. "We as Americans must stand together to reject this anti-freedom culture of political retaliation and abuse of power. We can't allow our country to be destroyed by politicians who will put their own power ahead of the interests of the American people, our freedom, and our future," Gabbard said at the National Guard conference in Detroit on Monday.
Gabbard's endorsement came on the third anniversary of the suicide bombing

When it comes to "choice," it would appear that the Democrats want to limit one's choices to when and where one can have an abortion. That doctrine goes beyond the debate over when life occurs. Democrats are perfectly thrilled to limit one's choices everywhere else, including elections. If you are a progressive, you will have two options in the upcoming election: Harris-Walz or Harris-Walz. Or you can always write in Harris-Walz.
True, Harris landed on the ballot without so much as a primary or an election. But any leftists planning on voting against Trump may find themselves with few if any, options in their particular precincts.
Ronald Reagan famously warned us that "freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction." For many, this may have sounded like hyperbole, but in 2024 we find ourselves at a crossroads where that sentiment couldn't be more relevant. This time, freedom isn't just one generation away—it's one election away.
Make no mistake about it, the principles that have defined our nation for over two centuries—limited government, individual liberties, and free-market capitalism—are under siege. But now, the radical left is so emboldened that they no longer even try to hide their intentions; they openly advocate for policies that would fundamentally alter the fabric of our republic.
As Joe Biden disembarked Air Force One in the early hours of Tuesday morning in California last week, he was visibly shaking.
It was approaching 5.30am East Coast time and the president had been awake almost 24 hours.
Walking slowly down the plane's stairs, he struggled to step up into the SUV waiting to take him to the 8,000-acre Santa Barbara ranch where he and his family have just enjoyed a week-long vacation. One of his Secret Service agents moved to shield him from the watching cameras, before giving him a helpful boost into the car. On the tarmac, First Lady Jill Biden watched, visibly concerned.

People are funny about racoons. These flea-bitten, sometimes rabid, garbage-eating vermin with no visible means of support, elicit, in some people, feelings of love.
A woman in Canada was feeding dozens every day. When she died – of cancer, not rabies – her dying request to her husband was that he continue to feed the racoons. He has done so. And they’ve been fruitful, or at least they’ve multiplied.
A woman in Indiana feeds 25 or more a day. She buys 50-pound bags of dog food for them.
A woman in Colorado found what she called “a baby racoon.” She took it home and adopted it.
Grieving Gold Star parents tore into the Biden-Harris administration Monday as the nation marked three years since the terrorist attack at Afghanistan's Kabul airport claimed the lives of 13 U.S. service members. Though the scrutiny has largely remained on President Biden in the years since, one Gold Star dad who lost his son in the Abbey Gate attack was determined not to let Vice President Kamala Harris off the hook.
"She owns this as much as he [Biden] does," Mark Schmitz, father of late Marine Lance Cpl. Jared Schmitz, told "Fox & Friends."
Everything I know I get from reading the Washington Post and watching the CBS Evening News with whoever hosts that now, and I have to tell you — that Donald Trump fellow doesn't deserve four more years after everything he's done in office since 2020.
"Donald Trump fights for billionaires and large corporations," Democrat presidential candidate Kamala Harris said during her acceptance speech last week. "I will fight to give money back to working and middle-class Americans."
They need the help, too. As president in 2022, Trump signed a reconciliation budget bill that gave the IRS $80 billion to hire more agents to go after medium and small businesses
Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who endorsed President Donald Trump on Friday, has penned a note on social media to explain what “MAGA” means to him.
“MAGA” — the acronym for Trump’s iconic slogan, “Make America Great Again” — has been demonized by Democrats. President Joe Biden and his administration constantly attacked what they called the “ultra-MAGA” Republicans or the “extreme MAGA agenda.”
(White House Press Secretary was warned that she was violating the Hatch Act by attacking “MAGA Republicans.”)
On Sunday’s edition of CNN’s State of the Union, Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) urged voters to “kill” the MAGA “strain.”
Kennedy wrote:
The Washington Post published an op-ed on Friday calling Vice President Kamala Harris’ husband Doug Emhoff a “progressive sex symbol.”
"Move over, Ryan Gosling. The modern female fantasy is embodied by the man who might soon become our first First Gentleman," Catherine Rampell wrote in the piece.Rampell added that Emhoff is a “hunk” because he is “smitten with his wife” and her career ambitions and is "secure enough with his own masculinity to sometimes prioritize his wife’s ambitions over his own.”
Rampell brushed off Emhoff’s “previous marital drama,” which includes Emhoff conceding that he had an affair during his first marriage.
Upon becoming the Democratic Party’s presumptive nominee, Kamala Harris insisted that Donald Trump had already agreed to the September 10 debate to take place on ABC, rules and all, while the Trump campaign insisted that the agreement was with Joe Biden, not Kamala, and insisted on a new slate of debates — including a debate on Fox News.
Trump, knowing that the debates would likely be a huge boon for his campaign, eventually agreed to do the same debate with Kamala as he’d agreed to with Biden. But now, the Harris campaign wants to change the rules.

Many conservatives have marked the third anniversary of the deadly Abbey Gate bombing that killed 13 Americans during the Biden administration's Afghanistan withdrawal by unearthing poorly aged comments by Vice President Kamala Harris. Monday marks three years since the Aug. 26, 2021 suicide bombing at Hamid Karzai International Airport, which killed 13 American service members and more than 100 Afghans. Islamic State terrorists claimed responsibility for the attack.
August 26, 2024 marks the three year anniversary of the suicide bombing of Abbey Gate at Hamid Karzai International Airport during the Biden administration's catastrophic withdrawal from Afghanistan. Thirteen U.S. servicemembers were killed in the blast, with dozens more wounded and hundreds of civilians. (X) To mark the solemn occasion, former President Donald Trump visited Arlington National Cemetery Monday morning.
(X Video's) To mark the fall of Kabul earlier in the month, the Taliban held a military parade featuring U.S. military equipment that was left behind during the chaotic exit.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. officially lost his U.S. Secret Service (USSS) protection on Monday, just days after his withdrawal from the 2024 presidential race.
Kennedy's press secretary confirmed the change in a statement to CBS News. Kennedy had gone through a long process to receive USSS protection in the first place, with his initial requests being denied earlier in the cycle.
It was not until the assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump in July that President Biden ordered that Kennedy receive Secret Service protection as well.

In a move that will surprise no one, Kamala Harris is now pushing for major rule changes at the ABC News debate. That comes after her campaign spent weeks insisting that any deviation from the Biden-negotiated event would represent cowardice on the part of Donald Trump.
According to Politico, Harris wants to do away with the muted mics seen in the CNN debate so that the candidates can have "uncensored" exchanges.

How ironic then that Democrats call Republicans 'Nazis' yet themselves follow the Goebbels Nazi propaganda playbook. One of many examples is the “very fine people” lie, a false assertion that President Trump called neo-Nazis such a thing, yet is a standard Democrat talking point and blatant nonsense. President Joe Biden, somewhat awake and alert long past his bedtime, told this whopper, along with many other falsehoods running across his teleprompter, at last week’s Democratic National Convention.

Fresh off a week of daily counterprogramming events and an effort to steal the spotlight from his new opponent, Donald Trump and his campaign are seeking to harness that pace in the lead-up to November — with plans to aggressively ramp up the former president’s schedule, hone his debate skills and cultivate a new ground-game strategy tied to the early voting states, sources familiar with the strategy shift told CNN.
The new approach is itself an acknowledgment that Trump’s campaign has struggled to adapt to the fast-changing political landscape after President Joe Biden ended his campaign less than four months before Election Day.

Last week, Vice President Kamala Harris unveiled her long-awaited economic plan telling supporters, “We were facing one of the worst economic crises in modern history” when she and President Joe Biden took the oath of office. Even liberal economists panned it.
Despite the bad reviews, her new communications director Monday doubled-down, claiming that back then, “the economy was in the ditch.” But was it? Obviously, the Harris strategy is to offset the economic failures of her administration by blaming greedy corporations and the “other guy.” But the other guy has plenty of actual data to refute what amounts to economic disinformation if he chooses to use it.
