ms. harris. not only is the kennedy news stepped on and nearly buried any of the kamala speech news from last night but basically, there was nothing much in serious policy terms coming out of that speech. speech was well-delivered no question about that, but she lied about mr. trump on a number of cases. she lied about cutting medicare and social security. he said a million times he won't. she lied about trump backing this project 2025 agenda. he said a million times he doesn't know anything about it. doesn't support it. she lied about trump wanting a national ban on abortion, because he said a million times, he doesn't support a national ban, and instead, turning the issue over to the states as per the supreme court, and meanwhile, fairmeanwhile favorsn the health of the mother and in fact it's ms. harris who wants nationwide abortion right that goes right through to the horrific late term abortion. on the economy, it was sort of like kamala was saying hey, i'm not joe biden, and oh, by the way,

new polling shows ms harris has gained ground against mr trump in a nationwide survey of likely voterstaking a 6% lead. the poll by marquette, released on thursday, found that the vice president leads the former president 53% to 47% — that's among people who expressed a strong interest in voting. the margin of error is 4.7 points. a similar poll conducted in may showed a much tighter match—up between mr trump and the then—presumptive democratic nominee presidentjoe biden. the pair were tied at 50% each. however, donald trump claims his campaign's internal polls show him leading in key battleground states. he also cited his continued support among white males and certain black and hispanic voters. the former president saying he believes the momentum is actually with the republican party. the honeymoon period has got to end. look, she's got a little period, she's got a convention coming up. it's about policy. it's not about her. i think she's incompetent because i've watched her. she destroyed california, she destroyed san fran — everything she's touched has turned to bad things. i want

cbs correspondent jarred hill ran through the key takeways from ms harris' first broadcast interview n campaign. i think one of the things that we heard from vice president harris in this first sit down interview yesterday it was that she sees herself as a pragmatist, essentially, a pragmatic democratic politician. there was not a lot of nuance when it came to some of the policy points that she might be trying to push through. a lot of this interview was significantly looking into the differences in her stance on issues now compared to her initial run for the white house in 2019, that many have considered to be significantly more left—leaning than she appears to be today. it it seemed as though, again, this was light on specifics and details, that she was essentially saying that she has had time in the white house as the vice president has seen the way things operate and has seen that maybe she does not need to go as far left as she believed or at least she espoused previously in 2019. in order to be effective in pushing forward what some of the principles that she thinks are importan

ms. harris' political problems is the biden-harris economic policies have delivered inflation and decliningncomes. the high price of food is a particular sore point, and the vice president's responses to make it worse by resorting to venezuelan-style left-wing populism. that's no exaggeration. that is from the wall street journal's opinion section. let's hear from ronald in louisiana. he is calling on the line for former president trump. good morning. caller: good morning. i need to give history to the american people. roosevelt was a socialist. he ran the government as a socialist. he gave, he gave, he gave. then we got to world war ii, and he had to go to the macon people to rebuild everything. then carter. carter's the worst president of all time. carter only needed four years. you know why? remember this. the embargo. prices went up, prices went up, because there was no oil and gas. they do nothing in america. ford tried it, nixon tried. now, here we go. let's go back to obama. obama, the economy will up. people were having a hard time. that is why trump got in. trump started working it

ms harris said she and minnesota governor, tim walz, were underdogs going into the election, but theye fighting for the country's future. until vice president harris chose him, tim walz wasn't exactly a household name either around the world, or even in the us. mr walz served in the army national guard for 2h years, reaching the position of command sergeant major, one of the highest ranks for enlisted soldiers. following a one—year teaching post in china, he returned to nebraska where he became a social studies teacher and american football coach. after moving to minnesota, he ran for congress and served for 12 years. he was elected governor of minnesota in 2018. joining ms harris on stage in philadelphia, he gave an impassioned speech. she believes in the opportunity for every single person tojoin the middle class. she believes in the promise of america. we just got to fight, we just got to fight! because, as soon—to—be president harris says, "when we fight, we win." rohini kosuglu is a former close adviser to vice president kamala harris. she told the bbc that ms harris used her own

ms. harris come out and actually do media presence. this is the real question. why isn't she out with the media being like interviewed and obviously social media's different, for instance, trump on x yesterday. and she's obviously -- i have a new nickname for ms. harris, not kamala it's chameleon, she's changing every and wish she would come out on social media or any types of media and tell us what her views are. thank you. host: all right. elon musk did pose this on his platform, x, at 12:39 a.m. in the morning. saying happy to host kamala on an x basis, too. using the vice president's first name only there. and bill is in georgia, independent line, good morning. caller: good morning. host: go ahead, bill. what do you think about social media? caller: thank you. thank you so much for taking my call. i won't take a lot of time. i just want to say this if you don't mind. this election we kind of -- what you might say floating around out there in space. it's a simple decision. you got two candidates. one is running for president and that is vice president harris.

well, tim walz is appearing with ms harris at a campaign event in philadelphia — the first stop in a und states. for more on kamala harris�* choice of running mate, i've been speaking to our north america correspondent nomia iqbal in philadelphia. yes, he's really emerged, hasn't he, the last few days as the one that kamala harris would pick. i think there's probably a few reasons. he has served in congress. he's a two—time governor. he's in his second term as governor, and he's achieved the sort of things that i imagine that kamala harris will want to achieve if she should make it to the white house. he's pro—reproductive rights, he's a gun owner, but he believes in progressive policies in terms of gun safety. he believes in helping parents, for example. you also alluded to what he achieved before politics. i mean, he had a whole life before politics, which is always a good thing. an army veteran, a high school teacher, he was a football coach. and when he did enter politics, he flipped in 2006 a republican—leaning district, which is music to the ears of any would—be president that w

in a speech at the national association of black journalists�* convention, mr trump said ms harris wasn a speech at the national association for more on how the presidential race is placed i spoke to steve israel, who was the house democrats�* chief political strategist from 2011 to 2015. he started by giving his reaction to trump�*s comments on kamala harris�*s race. well, it�*s another very dark day in the united states. it�*s a dark day for our politics. this isjust vintage donald trump. he panders to the worst impulses and instincts of various people. he engages in racist diatribes — in his mind, he believes that this is how he revs up his base. the problem with his thinking is, not only is it immoral, his base is already revved up. this is no way to attract the more moderate, independent voters that he needs. and so, while this is — he reveals who he is as a person, i�*m not sure it�*s a sensible political strategy — if he means it to be a political strategy. talking about reaching out to the modern voters, i want to get your thoughts on how the democrats have come up with that ne

he seems convinced that ms harris will again perform badly on tv.y competent, and she can't do an interview. but i look forward to the debates. i promise to be a president for all americans, you can always trust me... after a very successful convention in chicago, democrats are delighted with how well kamala harris is performing — much better than many expected. four years ago, she took on mike pence in the vice—presidential debates. mrvice president, i'm speaking, i'm speaking... and kamala harris will debate donald trump on television next month. joe biden�*s debate against mrtrump ended his campaign. these events can make a huge difference to the election. look... if... we finally beat medicare. kamala harris is currently enthusing her supporters, but forced outside of these friendly environments, she will face much tougher tests. our correspondent jenny kumar is in washington. she explained what the stakes were why is this interview so significant and what is she likely to say?— significant and what is she likel tosa ? , , , likely to say? the r

ms. harris need to be refocused on the character attributes. doug, if he does indeed focus his attacks on harris on character, will that work in his favor? >> you know, usually you have to do these sort of things in phases, sandra. i would advise that they begin on issues, begin on flip-flops, on the border, on energy, on the economy as your board just showed that you put up. and then say that they raise character issues about her and whether you can trust her. i think that's how you do these things. it has to be nuanced over the eight or nine weeks we have rather than just go to a character attack right away, especially since her roll-out, because she hasn't been challenged, has been relatively good and successful. >> sandra: i guess that's why she stayed the course as long as she has. bringing walz to the interview is an important move. i will get cassie to respond to that and also this. headlines are also calling out the media for protecting her. fox news -- the media, fox news headline, the media is embracing a kamala harris feminine phenome
