$20 million
Vice President Kamala Harris’ selection of Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate has been another fundraising boon for the Democratic presidential ticket, the AP reports. Her campaign announced shortly before 6:30 p.m. that it has raised more than $20 million since the vice president unveiled the Minnesota governor as her running mate.
50%
A new Morning Consult poll finds 50% of voters say Donald Trump is “too old” to be president. By contrast, only 12% say the same of Kamala Harris, compared with 70% who said the same of Biden.
“I’ll say this about JD Vance: it’s really hard being honest with the American people when you’re not being honest with yourself. He is the most inorganic candidate I think I have ever seen. He doesn’t know what he believes, and that is why it is impossible for him to articulate a coherent message to the American people—because he doesn’t believe it.”
“Nobody’s ever called me weird. I’m a lot of things, but weird I’m not.”
— Donald Trump, quoted by CNN.
“The American people deserve better. The American people deserve a leader who tells the truth, a leader who does not respond with hostility and anger when confronted with the facts. We deserve a leader who understands that our differences do not divide us — they are an essential source of our strength.”
— Vice President Kamal Harris speaking at a convention of Sigma Gamma Rho, one of the nation’s most prominent Black sororities, in response to Donald Trump’s Antagonistic, unrepentant display of racism at the National Association of Black Journalists Convention.
“I didn’t know she was Black until a number of years ago when she happened to turn Black and now she wants to be known as Black.”
— Donald Trump, in an interview at the National Association of Black Journalists convention, about Vice President Kamala Harris.
“Well Donald, I do hope you’ll reconsider to meet me on the debate stage… Because as the saying goes, ‘If you’ve got something to say, say it to my face.’”
— Kamala Harris, quoted by the New York Times.
79%
A new Associated Press poll shows that 79% of Democrats are satisfied with Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee — more than double the 37% who were satisfied with Joe Biden as the nominee in a poll earlier this month.
$4 million
A star-studded live video call under the rubric “White Dudes for Harris” urging white men to vote for Kamala Harris raised about $4 million on Monday night for the U.S. Democratic presidential candidate, attracting over 190,000 people including ‘Star Wars’ actor Mark Hamill and singer Josh Groban, Reuters reports.
47% to 46%
A new Morning Consult poll finds Kamala Harris edging Donald Trump nationally in the presidential race, 47% to 46%. Perhaps more interesting is that Harris’s favorability is now 50% to 46% — up from 43% to 51% last week.
