Harris blasts Trump attacks on her heritage as ‘same old show’ at Texas event: Live

Rudolph, 51, who was a regular cast member on the NBC sketch series from 2000 to 2007, made one of several returns to the show in 2019 where she debuted her portrayal of the VP.

Inga Parkel has the story.

At a rally in Texas Kamala Harris smiled and laughed as she addressed racist remarks made by Donald Trump at an event in Chicago.

Referring to Trump’s presidency, she said: “We all remember what those four years were like, and today, we were given another reminder.

“This afternoon Donald Trump spoke at the annual meeting of the National Association of Black Journalists, and it was the same old show of divisiveness and disrespect.

“And let me just say the American people deserve better… The American people deserve a leader who tells the truth who does not respond with hostility when confronted with the truth…that understands that our differences do not divide us.”

The Second Gentleman, Doug Emhoff, slammed Trump during a fundraiser in Maine for the former president’s comments about his wife’s racial identity.

“A worse version of an already horrible person,” he said regarding Trump, according to The Washington Post.

“The insults, the BS, shows a lack of character—but it’s a distraction,” he added.

While two top advisers to the former president claimed victory in a statement that blustered about the fates of any Republican who falsely claimed to speak for Donald Trump, the Harris campaign and even the Heritage Foundation said that the bulk of Project 2025’s work would continue.

Six out of seven battleground states have seen Harris improving on Biden’s numbers, according to a set of polls by Morning Consult for Bloomberg.

The polls were carried out in seven states from July 24 to 28, with sample sizes ranging from 454 registered voters to 804 in each state.

In particular, Harris appears to have made huge jumps in Michigan and Arizona, gaining by +5 points and +4 points respectively over Biden’s last polling in early July.

It’s kind of hard to ignore the fact that white guys who support Vice President Kamala Harris are having a moment.

But all the jokes about Harris’s White Boy Summer, as The Atlantic called it, underpin a more serious predicament: to win the White House, Harris will genuinely need to shore up a lot more support among white men.

There’s a tradition of people with famous names getting into national politics by way of what John Adams called “the most insignificant office that ever the invention of man contrived or his imagination conceived,” also known as the vice presidency of the United States.

Both George HW Bush and Al Gore each served in the second-highest office in America after coming into politics as the son of a famous father, using their family reputation as a stepping-stone.

So if Kamala Harris chooses Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear to be her running-mate — and if she defeats Donald Trump to become the 47th President of the United States — Beshear would find himself in good company.
