Jimmy Kimmel The Hollywood late night host, blasted by President Trump and suspended from ABC for his comments after the Charlie Kirk shooting, returns to TV, drawing record ratings and free speech accolades.
Harris, forced to confront Israel's war in Gaza on the first night of her book tour, expressed compassion for the Palestinians and condemned President Donald Trump for giving the Israeli government "a blank check." "What's happening to the Palestinian people is outrageous and it beaks my heart," she told a packed New York City performance center on Wednesday night after being interrupted by the first of four pro-Palestinian protesters. "Donald Trump has given (Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin) Netanyahu a blank check to do whatever he wants."
Rogan, according to Harris, had agreed to interview her in Detroit, before reconsidering and asking to record in Austin, TX where he is based. Harris said that was a big ask, considering every minute in a swing state mattered at that point late in the election. But she wrote that she was game, despite reservations from some of her team if they could wedge it in.
I've worked closely with the private sector over many years. And I always believed that if push came to shove, those titans of industry would be guardrails for our democracy, for the importance of sustaining democratic institutions. And one by one by one, they have been silent. They have been, you know, yes, I use the word feckless,
I don't see the point in writing this book and releasing it right now, Hardaway said. In an era where the constitution and this country are under assault by the horrific policies of this president, she's writing this book, which is essentially a bunch of finger pointing and blaming others. He continued: At the end of the day, if your name is on the door, whatever happens is your responsibility. That's always been my perspective.
Kamala Harris watched mortified as her running mate, Tim Walz, fell into JD Vance's trap in last year's vice-presidential debate and fumbled a crucial answer, she writes in a campaign memoir. The former Democratic presidential nominee also admits that Walz had not been her first choice for vice-president in her book 107 Days, obtained by the Guardian ahead of its publication next week. Harris writes that her first choice would have been the then transportation secretary, Pete Buttigieg, a close friend of hers who is gay.
Harris, who lost her 107-day campaign against Donald Trump last fall, has already announced she won't run next year for California governor to replace Gavin Newsom. But another run for president in 2028 after a slim but dramatic loss to Trump? Still uncertain. It seems like she is edging away from running for president, step by step, said Dan Schnur, who teaches political communications at UC Berkeley and USC. This type of positioning looks more like playing for history instead.
I watched it at the hotel that night. It was a good speech, drawing on the history of the presidency to locate his own place within it. But as my staff later pointed out, it was almost nine minutes into the 11-minute address before he mentioned me. "I want to thank our great vice president, Kamala Harris. She is experienced, she's tough, she's capable. She's been an incredible partner to me and leader for our country." And that was it.
Former White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany slammed Kamala Harris's forthcoming book as an attempt at posturing for 2028, while trashing her on Tuesday. McEnany, who served in the Trump administration from 2020 to 2021, appeared on Fox & Friends Wednesday morning to offer her take on the first excerpt from Harris's new memoir, which was published by The Atlantic earlier in the day.
As vice-president, Harris says, she felt caught in an impossible position: unable to counsel Biden against running without appearing self-interested. And of all the people in the White House, I was in the worst position to make the case that he should drop out, she writes. I knew it would come off to him as incredibly self-serving if I advised him not to run.
For many months, California Attorney General Rob Bonta laid low in the 2026 run for California governor. He did this by insisting he would run for re-election if Kamala Harris opted to make the run for governor, which was the general expectation for her until July 30, when she stunned the political world by opting out of the campaign. Bonta has no need for to lay low any longer, unless he sincerely doesn't want the job.
Former Vice President Kamala Harris' announcement Wednesday that she will not run for California governor next year has left the race wide open without a clear frontrunner. For the past eight years, Gavin Newsom has served as governor, and with his second term up, 2026 presents an opportunity for a fresh face to lead the state. There's a large field running of Republicans and Democrats, which includes some well-known figures in the state, but many who voters are not familiar with.
