Vice President Harris’ CNN Town Hall:
Here are some takeaways:
- Border security: The vice president was pressed on border security. Harris argued that the Biden administration, and she personally believed that executive actions were just short-term solutions and that a long-term fix could only happen through a bipartisan agreement in Congress. She stressed the need for a large bipartisan bill on border security. She contrasted that with Trump’s record on border security and she mocked him for failing to fulfill his promise to build a border wall and make Mexico pay for it.
- Differentiating from Biden: Harris has faced repeated questions on the trail over how — and to what degree — she would break from President Joe Biden on policy. On Wednesday night, she argued that, if she was elected, change would follow. “I bring to this role my own ideas and my own experience. I represent a new generation of leadership on a number of issues and believe that we have to actually take new approaches.” After ticking off a few major policy plans, like having Medicare cover home health care for the elderly, Harris returned to what she described as “a new approach.” “I bring a whole set of different experiences to this job,” she said.
- The Middle East: One undecided voter in the audience asked Harris what she would do to “ensure not another Palestinian dies due to bombs being funded by US tax dollars.” Harris said it was “unconscionable” how many innocent Palestinians have died, but that she hoped the death of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar — who helped plan the October 7 attack and was killed by Israel earlier this month — would create an opportunity to end the conflict. When asked about those considering voting for a third-party candidate or sitting at home due to the current US approach to the conflict, she said she believed those same voters care about their president’s approach to other issues, including the cost of groceries and reproductive rights.

Suspect arrested in shootings of DNC office in Arizona had over 200 guns in his home, officials find
A suspect has been arrested in connection with three separate shootings in 20 days that damaged a Democratic National Committee campaign office in suburban Phoenix, authorities said Wednesday.
Tempe police said Jeffrey Michael Kelly, 60, also is accused of hanging several political signs lined with razor blades on Tuesday in Ahwatukee, an affluent suburb of Phoenix where most voters have chosen Democrats in recent elections.
Kelly had more than 200 guns and over 250,000 rounds of ammunition in his home, leading law enforcement to believe he may have been planning a mass casualty event, Maricopa County prosecutor Neha Bhatia said at his initial court appearance on Wednesday.

Fox News edited Trump’s rambling answers and false claims in barbershop interview, full video shows
The Fox News Channel’s recent segment about Donald Trump’s “surprise” visit to a barbershop in the Bronx resembled a campaign ad for the former president’s reelection.
Trump was seen taking questions and making small talk with Black and Hispanic barbershop customers and workers, some of whom were wearing “Make Barbers Great Again” shirts. The visit was part of “Fox & Friends” co-host Lawrence Jones’ ongoing barbershop interview series.
But the version of the visit shown on television was, to borrow a hairstyle metaphor, a crop cut. Fox edited out many of Trump’s rambling comments and false claims. Participants had to repeatedly follow up when Trump meandered away from the original point of their questions.
