Harris in Michigan questions if ‘exhausted’ Trump is fit for ‘the toughest job’: Live

In a brief stand-up interview on the sidelines of her rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan, this afternoon Peter Alexander of NBC News asked Kamala Harris about carving her own path outside of the Biden administration of which she has been part for more than three and a half years.

PETER ALEXANDER: Let me ask you if I can, Biden this week, President Biden said this week that every President has to cut their own path. What is one policy that you would have done differently over these last three and a half years than President Biden?

KAMALA HARRIS: I mean to be very candid with you, you, including Mike Pence, vice presidents are not critical of their presidents. I think that really, actually, in terms of the tradition of it, and also just going forward, it does not make for a productive and important relationship.

PA: He’s now giving you that green light with his comments, that you can carve your own path. So now that you have this ability to say that —

KH: Going forward, there is no question that I bring my own experiences and my own life experiences.

PA: Is there a policy that stands out to you in particular?

KH: I mean, my approach to what we need to do around Medicare covering home health care, worn out of my experience of taking care of my mother, my priority on housing one because I know what it means, affordable housing, the ability to buy a home again. My own experience, my mother saved up. Not until I was a teenager was she able to do it. But also, I know that for so many young people who I speak with around our country, the American Dream, Dream is just really out of reach. So my policy about $25,000 down payment assistance to help them get their foot in the door, the work that I have been doing and will bring to the presidency around emphasizing small businesses as being part of the real backbone of America’s economy. Those are the experiences and the ideas that I have that are about moving forward and really being a part of the next generation of leadership in America.

Donald Trump charged Secret Service agents protecting him while he was president “far more” than other hotel guests, a new report by House Democrats claims.

The report, released on Friday, says that the hotel at times charged the agency more than 300 per cent or more than the authorized government rate.

Trump was reportedly scheduled to appear on The Shade Report for a sit-down interview, but that meeting never materialized. Politico’s Playbook reports that a senior Trump adviser allegedly told a producer that the former president is “exhausted and refusing interviews.”

Fox News host Bret Baier has said he made a “mistake” during his interview with Vice President Kamala Harris this week by showing the incorrect clip of Donald Trump speaking about “the enemy from within”.

At the bottom of his show Special Report, on Thursday, Baier explained to viewers that a particularly heated moment between him and the vice president arose after a clip was played of Trump defending himself for denigrating leftist Americans during a town hall.

“I made a mistake and I want to say that I did make a mistake,” Baier told viewers.

Gretchen Carlson isn’t impressed by his explanation as Ariana Baio reports.

The federal judge overseeing Donald Trump’s election interference case in Washington, DC unsealed nearly 2,000 heavily redacted pages of evidence submitted by the special counsel’s office, with only handfuls of readable pages across four massive filings that trace the history of the former president’s election denialism.

The filings published on Friday included transcripts of Trump’s remarks, social media posts, interviews from the House select committee that investigated the January 6 attack, campaign emails, the so-called “coup memo” outlining the legally dubious attempt to reject the electoral college certification, and excerpts from Mike Pence’s book and his statement refusing to reject election results.

Trump called Judge Tanya Chutkan “the most evil person” and labeled special counsel Jack Smith a “sick puppy” as he lashed out at the criminal case against him during a podcast on Friday.

“I want to apologize to America. I helped create a monster,” John D. Miller penned in an op-ed for US & News and World Report.

Miller spent 25 years running marketing for NBC and NBCUniversal and promoted the reality show that pushed Trump into superstardom.

Donald Trump is not happy with the claims that he is exhausted that has been repeated by Kamala Harris.

The campaign is pushing back on a report by Politico that the former president is suffering from exhaustion — an explanation as to why he has dropped out of planned interviews.

US District Judge Tanya Chutkan has already faced threats from his supporters after being assigned the case in 2023. Trump also called special counsel Jack Smith “a sick puppy”.

The former president made the remarks during an appearance on Dan Bongino’s rightwing podcast on Friday.

Judge Chutkan raised Trump’s ire by releasing almost 1,900 pages of heavily redacted documents today that Smith had submitted to argue against Trump’s motion to dismiss the case.

Much of the information released was already in the public domain, including transcripts of public statements and interviews with the House selection committee that investigated January 6 throughout 2022.

Trump called the release of the documents “election interference” during Bongino’s podcast an called it “a terrible thing, what’s happening. And the judges, this judge is the most evil person.”

He continued: “They all said, ‘Well, make sure you don’t get Chutkan.’ And who did I get? I got Chutkan.”

For a sport that struggled for the best part of 70 years to find a home across the Atlantic, Formula One’s presence in the United States has reached unprecedented heights this year. And that’s not just a nod to the three US races, in Miami, Austin and Las Vegas, nor to the boom in popularity stateside – a result of Liberty Media’s 2017 takeover and Netflix’s Drive to Survive fever.

Rather it has been, ahead of the highly charged US presidential election on 5 November, the surprising arena for the two nominees to appear, promote and present themselves in a unique and increasingly attractive way to the electorate.

Ahead of her remarks in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Kamala Harris spoke with reporters about Donald Trump insulting Michiganders:

“Again, we have a situation where the former president is insulting the people of this state, saying that auto workers, that their important and good and highly skilled work could be performed by a child, which is just further evidence that Donald Trump comes from a place where he really just doesn’t appreciate or understand how most people in this country work very hard for all that they have and there is great dignity in their work.”

As in the earlier video post, she also commented on reports that the former president is suffering from “exhaustion” as his campaign reportedly told the team at The Shade Room podcast.

“His team is saying that he is suffering from exhaustion, that’s the excuse for … not doing …interviews, not doing the CNN town hall … (or) another debate. You know, look, being president of the United States is probably one of the hardest jobs in the world, and so we really do need to ask ourselves if he’s exhausted from being on the campaign trail, is he fit to do the job?”
