Harris bashes Trump in debut rally, takes small lead in poll
Reuters Videos4 hours agoSTORY: U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris laid out her argument against Donald Trump at the first rally of her presidential campaign on Tuesday, while a new poll showed her with a slight lead over her Republican rival. Harris took aim at Trump vulnerabilities, comparing her background as a former prosecutor to his record as a convicted felon. “And 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." The rally saw a crowd of thousands in Milwaukee, the largest city in the battleground state of Wisconsin, which looks to be crucial in deciding November's election outcome. “And Wisconsin, this campaign is also about two different visions for our nation.” “Do we want to live in a country of freedom, compassion and rule of law, or a country of chaos, fear and hate?" The crowd's energy was an encouraging sign for Democrats hopeful that Harris can revive what had been a flagging campaign under President Joe Biden. A new Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted early this week after Biden dropped out of the race Sunday, showed Harris taking a marginal lead over Trump 44% to 42% among registered voters. Compare that to another Reuters/Ipsos poll last week that had Biden trailing by two points. While both were within a three-point margin of error, the results could signal movement, if limited, in Democrats' direction. Still, Trump expressed confidence in his ability to defeat Harris in a conference call with reporters on Tuesday. :: “I want to debate her, and she'll be no different (from Biden) because they have the same policies.” Trump offered to debate Harris multiple times, saying “I want to debate her, and she'll be no different because they have the same policies.” Harris has swiftly consolidated her party’s support after Biden dropped out of the race and endorsed her as his replacement over the weekend. Her campaign said that by Monday night she had secured support from the majority of delegates who at next month's party convention will determine the nominee, effectively wrapping up the nomination, and that it had raised $100 million since Sunday. Harris also gained two more big-name party backers on Tuesday in Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries, the party leaders in the Senate and House. Meanwhile, Biden returned to Washington after several days isolating at his home in Delaware with COVID-19. His doctor said Biden tested negative and no longer has symptoms. Biden said on X that he would address the nation from the Oval Office Wednesday night explaining his decision to end his campaign.

- 2:47Will anyone challenge Kamala Harris' nomination?Reuters VideosSTORY: With enough Democratic delegates to be the party's nominee for president, Kamala Harris is on a glidepath to formally accept that nomination at the Democratic National Convention. All eyes are now on Chicago where the nominating event begins August 19th. HANSEN: "It looks to me like the process is already over." :: [Is the nomination locked up?] Political science professor John Mark Hansen of the University of Chicago said it is highly unlikely anyone but Harris will be the nominee. "She's already locked it up because everybody who might have been a formidable challenger to her has now endorsed her. So it's hard to see that there's anyone who would really contest it and hard to see that anyone would really want to wade into it and just create all kinds of problems for the party." LICHTMAN: "A party brawl would be a disaster for Democrats." :: [What if Democrats can't agree on Harris?] History professor Allan Lichtman of American University says not quickly unifying behind a single candidate would likely result in a loss in November. "That would create a situation where there's an open seat, since Biden is not running and an internal party fight. Under those conditions, since 1900, the White House party has never, I repeat, never been reelected. In effect, that would recreate exactly the same condition under which Donald Trump was elected in the first place." BOSE: "The timing is very tight." [Too late for alternatives?] Dr. Meena Bose, the executive dean for public policy at Hofstra University, says there simply isn't enough time for Democrats to entertain another option. "Vice President Harris, I think, has, having served in office, having run a presidential campaign before, is well-positioned to pivot and to mount in this limited time, is really probably the Democrat, would be the only Democrat, with the visibility to mount a strong campaign in this time, less than four months before Election Day.” MASON: "The ball is rolling." [Will anyone challenge Harris?] Reuters White House Correspondent Jeff Mason says delegates could still, technically, shift their support to another candidate but nobody else is stepping up. "That doesn't mean she wouldn't probably welcome a challenger. I think that they are sensitive to looking like it's a process of anointing rather than a process of earning people's support. And she used the term 'earn' in her statement after President Biden stepped aside. HARRIS: "It is my intention to go out and earn this nomination." "There aren't challengers coming forward to go against Kamala Harris, in part, because they just want to have a name, have somebody at the top, she's the natural successor to Joe Biden, and get moving, and start working on that race against Donald Trump."12 hours ago

- 1:44Wall St ends higher as investors return to megacapsReuters VideosSTORY: Wall Street's main indexes closed higher on Monday as investors returned to megacap growth stocks, helping both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq recover from their worst weekly performance since April. The Dow added three tenths of one percent, the S&P 500 climbed more than one percent, and the Nasdaq rose more than one and one half percent. Shares of Nvidia finished up after Reuters reported the chipmaker was working on a version of its new flagship AI chips for the Chinese market that would be compliant with current U.S. export controls. Also influencing markets was U.S. President Joe Biden’s decision to end his reelection campaign, according to Banríon Capital Management Founder and CEO Shana Orczyk Sissel. “As far as the markets go today, I think that it's broadly reacting to the news over the weekend of President Biden stepping aside and endorsing Vice President Harris as the nominee for the Democrats in the presidential election. This is a big deal because markets like certainty, they don't like uncertainty. And there was a lot of uncertainty surrounding him as the nominee. So I think broadly speaking, you're seeing a reaction to that news in market moves today.” Sissel added that he still thinks the market expects Trump to win in November. Stocks on the move included cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike which plunged about 13.5% after a software update from the company sparked Friday's global tech outage. Shares fell 11% on Friday. And Verizon Communications fell six percent after a second-quarter revenue miss.1 day ago

In one term, he has already - yes you may clap - in one term, he has already surpassed the legacy of most presidents who have served two terms in office." :: July 22, 2024 :: Washington, D.C. Harris did not specifically refer to her new status as the leading Democratic candidate for president, after Biden announced on Sunday he was stepping aside under growing pressure from fellow Democrats. She said in a post on X that she would visit what had been the Biden campaign headquarters in Delaware - now the Harris campaign headquarters - on Monday afternoon. She said Biden, who tested positive for COVID-19 last week, was feeling better.

- 2:26MSF warns of 'horrendous' violence in SudanReuters VideosSTORY: Sudanese civilians have suffered horrendous levels of violence, Medecins Sans Frontieres said on Monday (July 22), during more than a year of war. :: MSF :: Zalingei, Darfur, Sudan :: March 27, 2024 They have, the medical aid group said, faced repeated attacks, abuse and exploitation by both sides. And the physical and mental wounds have been exacerbated, according to an MSF report, by the collapse of Sudan's healthcare system and a lack of international humanitarian response. Vickie Hawkins is General Director for MSF Netherlands. "Since May, MSF-supported hospitals or premises have been hit by shelling or air strikes at least five times in Omdurman, Khartoum and al-Fasher, leading to the deaths of health workers and patients including children." Hawkins said sexual and gender-based violence is pervasive... "... but critically under-reported due to the stigma, silence for fear of retaliation and the void of services and confidential spaces." Thousands of war-wounded have been treated at facilities MSF supports, Hawkins said, including for gunshot, shrapnel and stab wounds. :: MSF :: Zamzam camp, Darfur, Sudan :: File War erupted in April 2023 between the army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces. It was triggered by a plan to integrate the army and the paramilitary forces as a part of a transition to free elections following the overthrow of long-ruling autocrat Omar al-Bashir in 2019. There is no accurate data on how many have been killed, but death toll estimates run into the tens of thousands. The MSF report accused the warring parties of a "blatant disregard" for human life and international law. Neither side could be immediately reached for comment. MSF called on the two sides to cease attacks on residential areas, allow safe passage and protect infrastructure from further destruction and looting. It also urged them to stop what it said were targeted forms of violence and abuse, including ethnic and sexual violence.2 days ago

- 2:16Kamala Harris fires up 2024 presidential campaignReuters VideosSTORY: :: File Vice President Kamala Harris hit the ground running with the launch of her 2024 presidential campaign on Sunday. Campaign officials and allies made hundreds of calls on her behalf soon after President Joe Biden said he was pulling out of the race. They urged delegates to nominate her for president at next month's Democratic Party Convention... ...and Harris pledged to unite the nation in her bid against Republican nominee Donald Trump. Biden said he would remain in the presidency until his term ends in January next year, while endorsing Harris to run for president in his place. :: File It leaves his replacement with less than four months to wage a campaign before the November election. By late Sunday Harris had already locked in the support of all the Democrats' state party chairs, according to several on a conference call. Her prospects in November are less clear. Shortly after Biden’s announcement, Trump told CNN "Harris will be easier to beat than Joe Biden would have been." However, polling immediately after last week's assassination attempt against Trump showed that Harris performs no better or worse statistically than Biden had done against the GOP nominee. Still, Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institute Darrell M. West thinks the shakeup will help the Democrats catch up in key swing states. “The polls have actually been moving in favor of Donald Trump over the last few weeks. I think her likely nomination will put Democrats in a strong position. She'll be very competitive in those crucial Midwestern states, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin. And I think she also will put some of those other swing states that have started to slip away, places like Arizona, back in very strong contention for Democrats.” Several prominent Democrats, including potential Harris challengers such as California Governor Gavin Newsom, immediately backed the vice president. Despite that early show of support, a handful of the party's biggest names, including former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and former President Barack Obama both praised Biden’s decision, but did not announce endorsements. Two other potential challengers - Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer and Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear - made no mention of the vice president in their statements.

Just the thought of her just becoming president, especially being from Howard and being the first Black woman president potentially. It was just very exciting for me. And hopefully she can get to the election, hopefully she could win the election in November." "I am excited for a much younger candidate. I think myself and others were kind of losing faith and Joe Biden's ability to serve another four years. You know, the Biden administration wasn't my favorite. So I do feel like Harris I'm not thrilled, thrilled because I feel like in some ways it will be more of the same. However, I do think it's a positive direction for the party." "I hope they look at the person and not just she's a woman and she's a woman of color. I look at her record and how she worked with Joe Biden and she was the vice president. And all the years that have accumulated who she is. And I hope they can look past anything else and look at that. But the world we live in, some people will and some won't. And I hope it's not enough people that stand away or use that as an obstacle for her to get in office."
