Two frontrunners have emerged in the race to be presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris’s second in command: Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro and Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly. Shapiro, 51, and Kelly, 60, each represent 2024 swing states Democrats badly need to win in November. “Shapiro is toward the top,” said one insider familiar with the back and forth. “Locking down Pennsylvania would change the entire trajectory of the race.” Another prominent Democrat on the Hill warned talks were still “fluid.”

No one would know about Mark Kelly aka Uncle Fester if his congresswoman wife had not been shot by some lunatic.

I thought it would be Shapiro, but I'm guessing Kelly because that's who Obama wants. Picking Shapiro might guarantee Penna. but lose Michigan. Kelly will still probably lose Ariz., but keep Penna. and Micih. in play,

Mark Kelly. I don’t know much about either. But when I’ve seen Mark Kelly on tv, he doesn’t portray a lot of verve. Whoever it is — male or female — will have to bow and kiss the ring and put up with Heelzup’s “management style.” Ugh.

Kelly is Obama's choice, but Obama did not want Harris, and Harris knows it. On the other hand, Shapiro is a Jew, and Michigan does not like Jews.

They are both democrats, so they both approve of open borders, out of control spending, lax law and order, high gas prices, and vote cheating.

I know Mark Kelly. He has an identical twin brother, Scott, who was also an astronaut. Mark is extremely smart and one of the most intense people I've ever known. Shapiro for sure is ostensibly more at ease and affable but Kelly is a grinder who quietly gets things done. He and Gabby are very popular Zonies and my guess is if Harris chooses him they will win AZ.

Don't know much about either of them. Are they both blank slates? They can portray themselves as moderates and govern as extreme left. Regardless, expect a continuation of Obama policies if Harris wins. Moderates need not apply with this crew which means neither Kelly nor Shapiro are moderates.

Former President Donald Trump said the “contrast” between himself and Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election “could not be more stark.” During a rally in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, Trump said he and Harris could not be more different, saying there is a candidate on one side “who is fake” and a candidate on another side who will “fight” for the United States.“The contrast could not be more stark,” Trump told the crowd. “On the one hand, you have a radical left puppet candidate who is fake, fake, fake.

The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled in Texas’s favor, lifting an injunction that ordered the state to remove buoys it placed in the Rio Grande River to deter illegal border crossings. The Biden Department of Justice brought a legal challenge against the Lone Star State last year for installing the buoys without federal authorization. Associate Attorney General Vanita Gupta claimed the floating barrier was a threat to navigation and presented a public safety concern. It also risked “damaging U.S. foreign policy” with Mexico over the country’s objection to the barrier.

Chilling video taken by one of the victims of the assassination attempt on Donald Trump shows a shadowy figure running across a rooftop moments before the former president was shot. The haunting clip was taken by James Copenhaver who, moments later, was himself critically injured in the shooting in Butler, Pennsylvania on July 13. In the footage, obtained by Fox Digital, the figure appears briefly on a roof overlooking where Trump was being cheered by his rally crowd.

Former President Donald Trump brought the “computer genius” responsible for putting up the chart he turned to glance at moments before a would-be assassin took a shot at him up on stage Wednesday and credited her with saving his life. “I love that chart. I’m going to sleep with that chart for the rest of my life,” Trump, 78, said at a campaign rally in Harrisburg, Pa., as the famous immigration chart was displayed to his right.

“I am a radical,” Vice President Kamala Harris announced during a public event in 2010 at Google. The acknowledgment aligns with her far-left positions. Harris said she was, in fact, a “radical” during the Google event in response to Republican attacks that she was a “radical” District Attorney in San Francisco. “I read that at the Republican Convention. He [opponent] called me a radical,” Harris said. “So I guess that’s one difference between us.” “And, yeah, I am radical,” she said. “I do believe that we need to get radical, about what we are doing, and take it seriously.”

ATLANTA — Standing in front of a crowd of over 10,000 people in battleground Georgia's capital and largest city, Vice President Kamala Harris went on offense over an issue that she and President Biden have been playing plenty of defense over the past couple of years. Harris, near the top of her 18-minute speech on Tuesday, took aim at former President Trump over the issue of border security, which many Republicans see as the vice president's political Achilles heel. "In this campaign, I will proudly put my record against his," Harris said, before highlighting her border security efforts as California attorney general.

Vice President Kamala Harris last year heartily condemned any effort “to erase and even rewrite the ugly parts of our history.” But she didn’t mention that the “ugly parts” of her own record would be exempt from such a rewrite ban. Now a tidal wave of Kamalaflage has engulfed the presidential contest, as Harris’ entire career is being miraculously expunged — or at least purified — in a craven evidence-rigging stampede by media outlets and supposedly nonpartisan scorekeepers.

Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh was killed in Iran by what the terrorist group said was an airstrike carried out by Israel early Wednesday morning as Iran’s Supreme Leader has vowed revenge. Haniyeh, who was one of the most senior Hamas officials, was in Tehran to attend the inauguration ceremony of Iran’s new president when he was killed, Iran’s Revolutionary Guards announced. The Revolutionary Guards did not comment on how or who killed Haniyeh, but Hamas pointed the finger at Israel, stating the leader was killed “in a Zionist airstrike on his residence in Tehran after he participated in the inauguration of Iran’s new president.”

Ten days. It's been ten days since Kamala Harris was anointed as the Democratic Party's Chosen One to replace the failing Joe Biden in the 2024 presidential election. She has not won one primary vote, but the Democrats waved their hands over her and she's the candidate. And since this happened, she has not given one unscripted press conference. Harris announced that she'd locked up the nomination late on July 22, declaring that she'd won commitments of backing from a majority of the nearly 4,000 delegates to next month's Democratic National Convention.
