Vice President Kamala Harris has launched a new advertising campaign to promote her plan to build 3 million new homes over four years. The initiative aims to address inflationary pressures and serves as a stark contrast to Republican Donald Trump’s approach. Meanwhile, former Democratic U.S. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard has endorsed Trump’s presidential bid, highlighting her departure from the Democratic Party and aligning herself with Trump’s criticisms of Harris and the chaotic Afghanistan War withdrawal.
There seems to be a dispute over the rules for the upcoming debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, with Trump claiming an agreement has been reached, while Harris’ campaign denies this and states that details are still being worked out with host ABC News. The debate rules revolve around the issue of microphone muting, with Harris wanting live microphones at all times, while Trump’s campaign alleges that Harris’ representatives requested a seated debate with notes and opening statements.
Vice President Kamala Harris is set to participate in her first interview since launching her presidential bid, sitting down with CNN alongside her running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. This comes after criticism of Harris for not holding news conferences or granting interviews since President Joe Biden stepped aside in July. Meanwhile, a new indictment has been filed against Donald Trump over his efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election, following a Supreme Court opinion that conferred broad immunity on former presidents.
Harris and Biden will host a joint campaign event on Labor Day, with Harris traveling to Detroit and then appearing with Biden in Pittsburgh. The event will include Labor Day parades and visits with local union members. The Wisconsin Elections Commission has voted to keep Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on the presidential ballot, despite his request to be removed, and also rejected a Democratic attempt to oust independent candidate Cornel West. Ultimately, eight presidential candidates were approved for the ballot, including both Harris and Trump.
Former Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard and independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. have joined Donald Trump’s presidential transition team, further solidifying their support for the Republican nominee. More than 200 staffers from previous Republican presidential campaigns have endorsed Harris, cautioning against a second term for Trump. The campaign aims to appeal to moderate Republicans and conservative independents, emphasizing the importance of key battleground states in the upcoming election.
Vote.org has launched a campaign urging companies to provide paid time off for employees to vote on or before Election Day. The initiative, ElectionDay.org, seeks to eliminate work-related barriers that may prevent individuals from voting. Additionally, Harris’ campaign has released a new ad highlighting her plans to build 3 million homes and reduce inflation. The ad focuses on her personal experience growing up in rental housing and proposes providing financial assistance to first-time homebuyers. Democrats have also sued to block Georgia rules that could potentially delay the finalization of election results, citing concerns over the State Election Board’s authority.
