Van Jones says Trump gets to be ‘lawless’ while Kamala Harris expected to be ‘flawless’

During Wednesday night’s CNN Town Hall with Kamala Harris, commentator Van Jones called out a notable double standard in coverage of Vice President Kamala Harris. On the heels of major news that Donald Trump was quoted admiring Hitler’s generals and was called “fascist” by his longest-serving chief of staff, Harris found herself being criticized by some TV analysts after the town hall for sometimes having long, nuanced answers to policy questions. Trump declined to attend the debate altogether despite multiple […]

Beyoncé is expected at Kamala Harris’ Houston rally on Friday

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Beyoncé is expected to appear Friday in her hometown of Houston at a rally for Vice President Kamala Harris, according to three people familiar with the matter. Harris’ presidential campaign has taken on Beyoncé’s 2016 track “Freedom” as its anthem, and the singer’s planned appearance brings a high-level of star power to what has become a key theme of the Democratic nominee’s bid: freedom. Harris will head to the reliably Republican state just 10 days before Election Day in an […]

Why Black people should be concerned if Trump is a ‘fascist’ as Harris and others claim

During her CNN town hall Wednesday night in Pennsylvania in a room of undecided voters, Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris went as far as to call her Republican opponent, Donald Trump, a “fascist.” When asked if the vice president agreed with Trump’s former chief of staff John Kelly, a retired Marine Corps general, and Trump’s former Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman, retired Gen. Mark A. Milley, that Trump is a fascist, Harris said emphatically, “I do.”  Later in the 75-minute town hall, Harris said […]

Harris to give her campaign’s closing argument at the Ellipse, where Trump helped spark Capitol riot

ASTON, Pa. (AP) — Vice President Kamala Harris plans to lay out her campaign’s closing argument by returning to the site near the White House where Donald Trump helped incite a mob that attacked the U.S. Capitol in January 2021 — hoping it will crystalize for voters the fight between defending democracy and sowing political chaos. Her campaign says Harris will give a speech at the Ellipse on Tuesday — one week before Election Day — and will urge the nation to “turn the […]

Obama seen as ideal to rally Black voters for Kamala Harris, but some see limitations

Former President Barack Obama is bringing his star power to the Harris-Walz campaign in the final days before Americans cast their votes for the 47th president of the United States.  Many Democrats see Obama, the 44th president and America’s first Black commander-in-chief, as an effective and, perhaps, necessary surrogate for mobilizing the broad and diverse coalition of voters he garnered in both the 2008 and 2012 presidential elections. He is especially deployed this election cycle to talk directly to Black […]

10 Black men celebrities who’ve endorsed Kamala Harris

With so much media speculation about whether or not Black male voters will support Kamala Harris’ run for president, it’s easy for the voices of Black men who are championing her to get drowned out in the debate. A whopping 70% of Black men say they will support Harris compared to 20% of Black men who said they would vote for Trump in a New York Times/Siena College national poll. Perhaps a “silent majority” of their own, Black men who support […]
