- 1:41Secret Service head quits after Trump assassination attemptReuters VideosSTORY: U.S. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle has resigned after her agency came under intense scrutiny for failing to prevent an assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. That's according to the White House on Tuesday. “It is my firm belief, Director Cheatle, that you should resign.” It comes after Cheatle faced bipartisan condemnation before the House of Representatives Oversight committee on Monday, where she declined to answer questions from frustrated lawmakers about the security plan for the rally and how law enforcement responded to the suspicious behavior of the gunman. “And I don't want to add to the director's terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. But I will be joining the chairman in calling for the resignation of the director just because I think that this relationship is irretrievable at this point.” President Joe Biden said in a statement that the independent review of July 13th would continue - and that he would appoint a successor soon. The agency did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Representative James Comer, chair of the House Oversight Committee said in a statement: "While Director Cheatle’s resignation is a step toward accountability, we need a full review of how these security failures happened so that we can prevent them going forward." A would-be assassin wounded Trump during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania July 13th after firing shots from a nearby roof. The shooter was killed by police after he killed one person and injured two others in addition to Trump.7 hours ago

- 2:35Harris hits at Trump's criminal record in first campaign speechReuters VideosSTORY: In her debut campaign speech on Monday, U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris vowed to call on her experience as a courtroom prosecutor in dealing with Republican nominee Donald Trump. “I took on perpetrators of all kinds. Predators who abused women, fraudsters who ripped off consumers, cheaters who broke the rules for their own gain. So hear me when I say I know Donald Trump's type.” Trump is due to be sentenced in September for falsifying business records to hide hush money payments to a porn star. He also faces criminal charges related to his efforts to overturn President Joe Biden's 2020 victory. The speech to campaign workers in Delaware came just 28 hours after Biden stepped aside amid questions about his age and health and endorsed Harris. The former California attorney general and U.S. senator also said that building up the middle class would be at the center of her presidency. "Together, we fight to build a nation where every person has affordable health care, where every worker is paid fairly, and where every senior can retire with dignity. All of this is to say, building up the middle class will be a defining goal of my presidency." Harris also highlighted other policy priorities, including gun control and reproductive rights. “If Trump gets the chance, he will sign a national abortion ban to outlaw abortion in every single state. But we are not going to let that happen." The Trump campaign slammed Harris after the speech, calling her “just as incompetent as Joe Biden and even more liberal." Harris went to work consolidating Democratic support for her presidential bid minutes after receiving Biden’s backing on Sunday. According to multiple sources late on Monday, Harris has secured support from a majority of delegates to the Democratic National Convention. That likely ensures she will become the party's nominee for president next month. Harris' campaign also said it raised $81 million in the 24 hours following Biden's exit, the most for a single day in the 2024 campaign for either party. Harris will travel on Tuesday to Milwaukee, the largest city in the battleground state of Wisconsin. The city last week hosted a Republican National Convention that offered a stark display of Trump's dominance over his party.18 hours ago

In those roles, I took on perpetrators of all kinds. Predators who abused women, fraudsters who ripped off consumers, cheaters who broke the rules for their own gain. So hear me when I say I know Donald Trump's type. // During the foreclosure crisis, I took on the big Wall Street banks and won $20 billion for California families. Holding those banks accountable for fraud. Donald Trump was just found guilty of 34 counts of fraud.
