Harris slams Trump on Colbert over claim he gave Covid tests to Putin: Live

Kamala Harris calls out Donald Trump’s ‘lack of empathy’

Vice president Kamala Harris continued her media blitz on Tuesday by appearing on ABC’s The View , being interviewed at length on Howard Stern’s radio show, and guesting on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.

The attention seems to be paying off. The Democrat has taken a three-point lead in the latest New York Times/ Siena College national poll — the first time she has pulled ahead of Donald Trump in that survey.

One of Harris’s recent appearances, on the Call Her Daddy podcast, led to a mini-scandal for Republican senator John Kennedy, who was pilloried online for a comment about the interview which also suggested tampons are luxuries.

Meanwhile, former president Trump reportedly sent Vladimir Putin Covid-19 test kits at the height of the pandemic, according to a new book by veteran Watergate journalist Bob Woodward.

Elsewhere on the political front, federal officials say they’ve foiled an ISIS-inspired Election Day threat.

And finally, Melania Trump marked the release of her memoir with a rare live interview on The Five on Fox News, shortly after her husband attacked the network on Truth Social.

Howard Stern: Harris asked about relationship with second gentleman

Among the more personal details touched on during the interview by Stern, we learned that Harris likes to watch MSNBC’s Morning Joe while working out (30 minutes on an elliptical) and her favorite cereal is Special K.

Stern asks if it was hard to make a “love connection” with Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff and says he thinks most men would be intimidated by her.

She responds that Emhoff is “one of the strongest, most self-actualized men I’ve known,” she says. “He has the best sense of humor. I don’t want to say simple but he’s very clear: He cares about family, he cares about working hard.”

‘The champagne of beers!’: Harris and Colbert share a Miller High Life

Stephen Colbert said elections are “all about vibes” because “One of the old saws is: ‘They just want someone they can have a beer with.’”

So Vice President Kamala Harris cracked open a beer — a Miller High Life — with the late night host. “The champagne of beers!” she joked.

But the Democratic nominee also delved into heavier subjects, including the war in Gaza.

“We cannot lose some belief in the possibility” of a ceasefire, Harris said according to the New York Times. “The United States must work and not lose hope and not throw up our hands.”

Harris also addressed the latest claim about her GOP rival: Donald Trump secretly gave Russian President Vladimir Putin Covid tests, according to a new Bob Woodward book.

“I ask everyone here and everyone who is watching: Do you remember what those days were like?” she asked. “You remember how many people did not have tests and were trying to scramble to get them?”

The Late Show appearance is just the latest in the vice president’s media blitz just 27 days out from the presidential election.

ICYMI: Harris reveals what kind of gun she has in ‘60 Minutes’ interview

Weeks after making it clear that she’s fully capable of defending her home against intruders, Vice President Kamala Harris has provided more information on exactly what sort of weapon a would-be burglar would face if they were foolish enough to break into her house.

In an interview that aired Monday evening, the vice president told 60 Minutes correspondent Bill Whitaker she owns a pistol made by Glock, the Austrian gunmaker whose polymer-framed, striker-fired, semi-automatic handguns are popular with law enforcement agencies across the United States and beyond.“

Report: Jan 6 prisoners Trump has vowed to free are becoming more radicalized inside jail

Prisoners charged with and convicted of crimes related to the January 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, are reportedly growing more radical by being held together in a Washington, D.C., a harbinger of the dark mood around the 2024 election as top Republicans continue to deny or avoid the fact Trump lost the 2020 election and the former president himself has mused publicly in recent days that his supporters want him to “go after” his enemies.

Trump’s war on ‘60 Minutes’ continues

Donald Trump is reportedly demanding 60 Minutes release an “unedited” transcript of its recent interview with Kamala Harris.

The former president has been fueding with the mainstay news program, after he reportedly dropped out of a planned election special interview because producers planned to fact-check his claims.

The Trump campaign, for its part, has claimed it never confirmed the interview, and Donald Trump has said he took issue with the questions from a 2020 interview he had on the show.

For more details, here’s Io Dodds’s recent piece on the matter.

Trump falsely takes full credit for ‘$35 insulin’

In a Truth Social post on Tuesday, Donald Trump falsley claimed Kamala Harris is lying about helping secure low-cost insulin for seniors.

“I was the one who got the $35 Insulin, not Lyin’ Kamala,” Trump wrote. “I’ve never seen a group that lies so much.”

As the KFF health thinktank notes in a recent fact-check, both the Trump and Biden administration extended cost-protections on insulin for seniors using Medicare, with a more wide-reaching version of the initiative taking place under the current administration.

Feds foil alleged Election Day attack

Federal prosecutors have accused a 27-year-old Afghan citizen of conspiring with ISIS and stockpiling weapons to launch an Election Day attack in the US.

Nasir Ahmad Tawhedi of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma was allegedly planning to liquidate his family’s assets and sell his family’s home, resettle family members overseas, and buy up AK-47 rifles and ammunition “to stage a violent attack in the United States in the name of and on behalf of ISIS,” according to court documents unsealed on Tuesday.

According to a criminal complaint, Tawhedi and a co-conspirator, who is a minor, met with an FBI informant in Oklahoma to buy two AK-47s, 10 magazines and 500 rounds of ammunition.
