Kamala Harris reveals what she'll do on 'day one' of her presidency... and is asked by CNN why she hasn't enacted any of her plans as VP

VP Kamala Harris was pressed over her record as Biden's border czar. She was tasked with addressing the 'root cases' of the immigration crisis, particularly with poverty and crime stemming from countries in Central America.

The Biden-Harris administration has overseen record number of migrants coming into the U.S. illegally through the southern border estimated at over eight million.

Well, first of all the root causes work that I did as vice president that I was asked to do by the president has actually resulted in a number of benefits, including historic investments by American businesses in that region.

The number of immigrants coming from that region has actually reduced since we began that work.

She went on to slam former President Donald Trump for refusing to support a bipartisan border bill earlier this year.

She vowed to sign the bill if it comes to her desk as president.

Harris also said she believes there should be 'consequences' for migrants who cross the border illegally.

That's a shift from her previous position on the issue. She previously raised her hand during a Democratic primary debate when asked whether illegally crossing the border should be decriminalized.

Let's be clear in this race, I'm the only person who has prosecuted transnational criminal organizations who trafficking guns, drugs, and human beings. I'm the only person in this race who actually served a border state as attorney general to enforce our laws.

Kamala Harris was asked point-blank why she hasn’t enacted any of her proposed policies while vice president.

The Democratic candidate suggested Donald Trump was partly to blame because the economy needed to recover.

Well, first of all, we had to recover as an economy and we have done that. I'm very proud that has brought inflation down to less than 3%.

The work that we have done to cap the cost of seniors Donald Trump said he was going to do a number of things because including allowing Medicare to negotiate drug prices never happened

We did it so now, as I travel in the state of Georgia and around our country, the number of seniors that have benefited.

I've met. I was in Nevada recently grandmother he showed me her receipts. And before we cap the cost of insulin for seniors at $35 a month, she was playing hundreds of dollars up to thousands of dollars a month for her insulin.

She also said that Bidenomics was a 'success' and boasted about bringing down inflation.

Kamala Harris defended Joe Biden's fitness for the job in her first interview as the Democratic presidential nominee and took a pass when it came to commenting on her Republican rival Donald Trump.

Harris sat down with CNN's Dana Bash in what the network described as a 'wide-ranging interview.' While many topics were covered, Harris stuck to her talking points and, at times, appeared nervous and hesitant in her responses.

She did grow animated in one area, when she defended Biden's ability to do the job and talked about that day he called her to say he was dropping out of the race. Biden, 81, was pressured out of the race by Democrats, who were worried he'd lose to Trump after his disastrous debate performance where he struggled for words and stared into space.

'I have served with President Biden for almost four years,' Harris said in defense of the president. 'He truly cares so deeply about the American people. He is so smart and loyal to the American people.'

'I have spent hours upon hours with him being in the Oval Office or the Situation Room - he has the intelligence, the commitment, and the judgment and disposition that I think the American people rightly deserve in their president,' she added.

'By contrast, the former president has none of that and so one, I am so proud to have served as vice president to Joe Biden and I'm so proud to be running with Tim Walz for president United States.'

Harris, in her nearly hour-long interview, had no major mistakes.

And Democrats defended her on that point, saying she had followed the main rule of interviews: first do no harm.

Trump summed it up in one word: 'Boring,' he wrote on his Truth Social Account.

The Trump Campaign raced to clarify the former president's comments after he signalled that he was open to expanding access to abortion in Florida in an upcoming referendum.

Florida bans almost all abortions after six weeks and, when asked how he would vote on a measure that would extend the limit to more than 20 weeks, Trump told DailyMail.com: 'I want more than six weeks.'

In a referendum that offers a simple yes or no to voters, his response horrified allies in the anti-abortion movement.

And his campaign played cleanup on Thursday evening.

'President Trump has not yet said how he will vote on the ballot initiative in Florida, he simply reiterated that he believes six weeks is too short,' said Karoline Leavitt, Trump Campaign national press secretary.

Former George W. Bush senior advisor Scott Jennings didn't pull his punches when analyzing Kamala Harris' performance in a CNN panel after her first interview.

The Republican stratregist said the vice president seemed intent on running on Joe Biden's record.

She is making it clear that she will embrace and be a continuation of Biden's economic policy, his record, what they've done.

She offered no remorse, no regrets, no introspection about anything they've done.

She continued to blame inflation on this fantasy price-gouging idea.

She had no additional thoughts on the economic situation in the country or what they've done beyond just saying, ‘Joe Biden and I have done a great job.’

Kamala Harris revealed how she learned Joe Biden was dropping out of the race.

The vice president then avoided a straight answer when asked if the president offered his endorsement straight away.

Dana Bash: I'm just curious staying on president Biden when he called you and said he was pulling out of the race what was that like? And did he offer to endorse you right away or did you ask for it?

Harris: It was a Sunday, so I'll give you a little too much information.

Bash: Go for it.

Harris: My family was staying with us and including my baby nieces and we had just had pancakes and, onto can I have more bacon? Yes. I'll make you more bacon and then we were going to sit we were sitting down two to do a puzzle and the phone rang and it was Joe Biden. And he told me what he had decided to do and I asked him, are you sure and he said yes. And that's how I learned about it

Bash: When he called to tell you, he said, I'm pulling out of the race and i'm going to support you.'

Harris: Well, my first thought was not about me to be honest with you...

Donald Trump was quick to react to Kamala Harris' interview on CNN on Thursday night, her first in primetime as the Democratic presidential candidate.

The former president accused of her changing all of her policy positions and said he was looking forward to their debate on September 10.

He wrote on Truth Social: 'I look so forward to Debating Comrade Comrade Kamala Harris and exposing her for the fraud she is. Harris has changed every one of her long held positions, on everything. America will never allow an Election WEAPONIZING MARXIST TO BE PRESIDENT OF THE U.S.'

Top pollster Frank Luntz criticized Kamala Harris for her 'vague' answer when pushed on what she would do on her first day in office.

Kamala Harris' running mate Tim Walz was questioned on claims about his military record during their joint interview with CNN on Thursday night.

Dana Bash asked him if he 'misspoke' when he claimed he carried a gun in war, even though he never deployed to a combat zone.

He insisted he was referencing school shootings and then said 'my grammar's not always correct'.

I said we were talking about in this case, this was after a school shooting, the ideas of carrying these weapons of war and my wife, being the English teacher, she said my grammar's not always correct

But again, if it's not this, it's an attack on my children for showing love for me or it's an attack on my dog.

I'm not I'm going to do that. And the one thing I'll never do is I'll never demean and other members service in any way. I never have. And I never will.

The VP didn't engage on a question about ex-President Donald Trump questioning her race.

Dana Bash: 'Trump suggested you happened to turn black recently for political purposes.'

Kamala Harris: 'Same old tired playbook. Next question.'

Harris told CNN's Dana Bash on Thursday evening she does not want to ban fracking.

No, and I made that clear on the debate stage in 2020 that I would not ban fracking. As vice president, I did not ban fracking. As president, I will not ban fracking.

However, Harris previously said during a CNN town hall in 2019 'there's no question I'm in favor of banning fracking.'

Kamala Harris revealed her priorities for her first day in the White House, if elected, would be about bringing down prices and protecting the middle class.

She also pushed a $6,000 tax credit for parents of newborns.

The vice president also attacked Donald Trump for 'diminishing' the 'strength' and character' of the nation..

One of my highest priorities is to do what we can to support and strengthen the middle class.

When I look at the aspirations, the goals, the ambitions of the American people, I think that people are ready for a new way forward in a way that generations of Americans have been fueled by hope and by optimism.

I think sadly, in the last decade we have had in the former president, someone who is really been pushing an agenda and in an environment that is about diminishing the character and the strength of who we are as Americans really dividing our nation.

And I think people are ready to turn the page on that so what would you do day one, day one, it's gonna be about one implementing my plan.

I've already laid out a number of proposals in that regard which include what we're going to do to bring down the cost of everyday goods where we're going to do to invest in invest in families for example, extending the child tax credit to $6,000 for families for the first year of their child's life to help them buy a car seat, to help them buy baby clothes, a crib there's the that is about investing in the American family around affordable housing.

The interview with CNN Chief Political Correspondent Dana Bash takes place in Georgia, a key swing state in the 2024 election.

Donald Trump, in his first public comments on the situation at Arlington National Cemetery, denied it was a campaign event and called the staff at the site 'bad people.'

The former president said he went because it was invited by Gold Star Families and that he took photos at gravesites because he was asked to. He also added that he doesn't 'need the publicity.'

Trump, who has frequently criticized the Biden administration for its handling of the drawdown in Afghanistan, took it a step further: he accused Joe Biden and Kamala Harris of killing the families' children 'by incompetence.'

'Those families that asked me to be there,' he said during a campaign rally in Michigan on Thursday. 'So I went. And while we were there, they said, Could you take pictures over the grave of my son, my sister, my brother? Would you take pictures with us, sir? I said, Absolutely, I did.'

Kamala Harris claimed her values 'have not changed' dispite several policy positions she has shifted since her time in the Senate until present day.

'I think the most important and most significant aspect of my policy perspective and decisions is my values have not changed,' she told CNN's Dana Bash in her first sit-down interview since she became the Democratic presidential nominee.

CNN aired portions of the interview on Thursday shortly after it was taped. Described as 'wide-ranging,' the full interview will air at 9 pm ET.

Some of her stances, particularly on environmental issues, have switched from the progressive end of the Democratic Party to a more central position. She also has pushed back on claims she was in charge of the border.

In her first interview since becoming the Democratic nominee Kamala Harris said she wants a Republican to serve in her cabinet if she wins the election.

The move would be part of her pledge to be a president for 'all Americans'.

She told CNN:

I’ve got 68 days to go with this election, so I’m not putting the cart before the horse. But I would, I think. I think it’s really important. I have spent my career inviting diversity of opinion.

I think it’s important to have people at the table when some of the most important decisions are being made that have different views, different experiences.

And I think it would be to the benefit of the American public to have a member of my Cabinet who was a Republican.”

However, she said she did not have a particular Republican in mind.

Vice President Kamala Harris on Thursday previewed an upcoming plan to offer more tax credits for small business startups.

The vice president teased her proposal during a visit to Dottie’s Market in Savannah, Georgia as part of her campaign bus tour.

'What I’m going to be rolling out next week is basically a tax credit for startups, small business startups,” Harris said.

As Harris competes with former President Donald Trump who supports widespread tax cuts, the vice president has started endorsing more narrowly targeted tax cuts.

After Trump's running mate JD Vance proposed a $5000 per child tax cut, Harris proposed a $6,000 tax cut for parents of newborn children.

Harris has endorsed raising tax rates on businesses including new taxes on unrealized capital gains.

The Department of Defense approved a request from the Secret Service to assist with the protection of presidential and VP candidates.

The request was made in light of the attempted assassination of ex-President Donald Trump on July 13.

Deputy Pentagon press secretary Sabrina Singh:

The Department of Defense recently received a request for assistance from the Department of Homeland Security for additional military support capabilities to be afforded to major presidential and vice presidential candidates.

The secretary of defense approved the request and directed the commander of U.S. Northern Command to plan, provide, and execute increased support to the United States Secret Service at various locations across the United States during the 2024 election campaigns.

Donald Trump signaled that he could vote to end Florida's six-week abortion ban when it comes up in a referendum later this year, as he continues his delicate dance around a key election issue.

In an exclusive interview with DailyMail.com he previewed an upcoming announcement on his voting stance by saying that he did not think six weeks was enough time.

But he avoided committing to using the presidential veto if a nationwide federal ban arrived on his desk as president even though his running mate said he would.

In office, Trump reveled in being the most pro-life president in history, taking credit for ending federal protections for abortion by installing the conservative justices on the Supreme Court who overturned Roe v Wade.

This time he is trying to keep both sides happy on one of the most divisive issues in the election by saying it is up to states to decide their own laws.

Rep. Clay Higgins, R-La., is sparking fresh conspiracy theories after he tore into the FBI for spewing more 'lies' about Trump shooter 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks.

Higgins, who was appointed to Congress' bipartisan task force reviewing the assassination attempt, tried to view Crooks' body on August 5 as part of his own personal inspection.

But his request to view the body 'caused quite a stir and revealed a disturbing fact.'

It was at this point that he learned that the FBI had 'released the body for cremation 10 days' after the shooting in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13.

Higgins says 'nobody knew' that the body had been returned to the family, including the county coroner and local enforcement.

The FBI slapped back at Higgins, telling DailyMail.com that 'any suggestion the FBI is interfering with congressional efforts' is 'inaccurate and unfounded.'

'We have followed normal procedures in the handling of the crime scene and evidence.'

But Higgins said that is all fabricated in a fresh statement Thursday:

Once again, the FBI is lying. It is 100% NOT “standard procedure” to cremate a body at the center of a major criminal investigation BEFORE a following investigative authority has had an opportunity to examine that body, when the FBI is VERY MUCH AWARE that a following investigative authority is coming right behind them.

Same thing with a crime scene. The FBI is acting like they’re royalty. They. Are. Not. But that’s all right, it’s cool. Best served cold, actually. I’ll have these oppressors of truth before Congress.

The Army on Thursday defended a staff member at Arlington National Cemetery who confronted Donald Trump’s campaign officials when they took photos and video of the former president in a restricted area of the cemetery.

In a long and unusual statement, the Army noted the Arlington National Cemetery (ANC) staffer acted with ‘professionalism’ but added that since she was not going to press charges, they considered the matter ‘closed.’

‘Participants in the August 26th ceremony and the subsequent Section 60 visit were made aware of federal laws, Army regulations and DoD policies, which clearly prohibit political activities on cemetery grounds. An ANC employee who attempted to ensure adherence to these rules was abruptly pushed aside,’ the Army spokesperson said about Trump's visit.

‘Consistent with the decorum expected at ANC, this employee acted with professionalism and avoided further disruption. The incident was reported to the JBM-HH police department, but the employee subsequently decided not to press charges. Therefore the Army considers the matter closed.

‘This incident was unfortunate, and it is also unfortunate that the ANC employee and her professionalism has been unfairly attacked. ANC is a national shrine to the honored dead of the Armed Forces, and its dedicated staff will continue to ensure public ceremonies are conducted with the dignity and respect the nation’s fallen deserve.’

Arlington National Cemetery is considered hallowed ground in the U.S. military and is managed by the Army.

The media were not allowed to accompany Trump to Section 60, the final resting place for those who died fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan - a place regularly visited by spouses and family members of the fallen.

Trump had posed for photos with the family and laid flowers at the tombs of some soldiers who died, according to images posted on social media by his team.

While families often take photos at gravesites of loved ones, federal law prohibits any political activity in the cemetery.

Trump, who is running for a second term in the White House, was invited to visit on Monday by family members of the some of the soldiers killed three years ago when U.S. troops exited Afghanistan.

He laid three separate wreaths at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and then went with the families to Section 60. His campaign posted a video of both parts of the visit on its TikTok account.

The Trump campaign notes they were invited to be at the cemetery and said they had permission ahead of time to bring a photographer.

They have also threatened to release footage backing up their version of the story. They said an official with the cemetery tried to 'physically block' members of Trump's team.

The families of the fallen said they had invited Trump and gave ‘our approval for President Trump’s official videographer and photographer to attend the event, ensuring these sacred moments of remembrance were respectfully captured and so we can cherish these memories forever.’

Polling guru Nate Silver's forecast model shows Trump a slight favorite.

He said it 'wasn’t a good day for Kamala Harris in our model, as Donald Trump is the slight favorite for the first time since August 3.'

Silver said the one big reason is the key state of Pennsylvania where 'It’s been quite a while since we’ve seen a poll showing Harris leading (including two new polls today),' he wrote.

At this time Trump has a 52 percent chance of winning and Harris 47 percent, according to the widely followed forecasting model.

Sen. J.D. Vance made his appeal to 'booing' firefighters at a conference in Boston on Thursday.

The Republican vice presidential nominee took in stride the commanding boos that came over a chorus of cheers at the International Association of Firefighters conference as he urged them to give him a chance to deliver his 'pitch' to earn their vote.

Sounds like we've got some fans and some haters – that's OK.

He urged the crowd to 'listen to what i have to say here and I'll make my pitch.'

I know, this is a diverse union, some of you love President Trump and some of you clearly don't. I've heard from both sides just given this little speech.

Now this may come as a shock to you, but once upon a time I wasn't a Trump guy either. And trust me the president never lets me forget it.'

Sen. J.D. Vance thinks it's time for billionaire venture capitalist Peter Thiel to help bankroll Donald Trump's campaign.

The Ohio Republican and vice presidential nominee told Financial Times that he wants his former boss to get more outwardly involved in the 2024 race.

Vance said of Thiel:

He is fundamentally a conservative guy, and I think that he needs to get off the sidelines and support the ticket.

Thiel, disaapointed with Trump's presidency, said last year he did not intend to give 'any money to Republican politicians in 2024.'

'There’s always a chance I might change my mind,' he added at the time.

Vance served as a principal at Thiel's firm Mithril Capita between 2016 and 2017 – before he ever ran for office.

Jake Sullivan, the national security adviser to President Joe Biden, met with Chinese leader Xi Jinping during his trip to Beijing.

Sullivan is in China to meet with senior Chinese officials including Foreign Minister Wang Yi and a senior general of the Central Military Commission.

He was sent by Biden with the goal of keeping communications open between Washington and Beijing as relations have soured between the two super powers.

He and Xi discussed plans for a call between President Biden and President Xi in the coming weeks, the White House said in a readout.

‘We believe that competition with China does not have to lead to conflict or confrontation. The key is responsible management through diplomacy,’ Sullivan told reporters in China.

Sullivan said the two leaders might meet in person before Biden leaves the White House, possibly at the next Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation meeting, which is in Peru in November.

If Biden doesn’t travel to China he will be the first president since Jimmy Carter not to visit.

Former Trump aide Rep. Max Miller, 35, has filed for divorce from his wife Emily Moreno, 30, less than one year after the birth of their newborn baby.

According to a court filing in Cuyahoga County, Ohio, first obtained by DailyMail.com, the Ohio freshman congressman is divorcing his wife Emily after two years of marriage.

The unraveling of their marriage comes 10 months after the birth of their firstborn daughter Ruth. Miller had posted an Instagram on November 4, 2023 introducing 'our beautiful daughter Ruth' saying at the time that her birth is a reminder of the 'importance of family.'

Emily is also the daughter and former campaign manager of Bernie Moreno, who is the GOP nominee for Senate taking on Democratic Senator Sherrod Brown in one of the most competitive and expensive races in the country.

Moreno and Miller got engaged in 2021 after his messy relationship with ex-Melania spokeswoman and White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham came to an end after allegations of 'abuse.'

President Donald Trump spoke at their wedding a year later in August 2022 at his Bedminster, New Jersey, golf club.

Donald Trump's Senior Advisor Corey Lewandowski is calling on CNN to ask Vice President Kamala Harris 'tough questions' during her interview taping on Thursday afternoon.

During a press call on Thursday morning, Lewandowski railed against Harris' 'insulting' 38-day delay in sitting down for a formal interview since becoming the Democratic candidate.

The senior adviser said:

CNN’s obligation is to ask Kamala Harris the tough questions that she's been avoiding since her coronation as a Democratic nominee. And Donald Trump has an opportunity in this election to do something that no candidate has ever done – beat not one but two Democrat nominees in the same election cycle.

I think every person in America should be insulted by the fact that Kamala Harris hasn't sat down yet, hasn't answered questions on her own.

Barack Obama posted a split image of himself and Vice President Kamala Harris both donning tan suits and white shirts.

The 'tan suit' controversy surrounding the former president came after he wore the light-colored outfit during a press conference on the prospect of escalating U.S. military response to ISIS in Syria.

But over the years, the situation has become the frequent topic of jokes and the controversey has been seen as petty and trivial.

In an Instagram post of the tan suit split-screen, Obama wrote:

How it started. How it’s going. Ten years later, and it’s still a good look! IWillVote.com

When she finally sits for her first interview since becoming the Democratic nominee, Kamala Harris must explain why she has flip-flopped on so many policies,  why she has done nothing to secure the southern border while in power, and why she needs a human shield alongside her, according to one avid viewer of television news, former President Donald J. Trump.

Trump sat down with DailyMail.com in the palatial living room of his Mar-a-Lago headquarters on Wednesday.

He discussed everything from the assassination attempt that almost killed him to the policies he will implement on his first day in office. But first he laid out the questions that CNN's Dana Bash must ask the vice president in their interview.

At the top of his list: What is she hiding from?

'Why isn't it live? It's not a live interview,' he said. 'It's an interview that's going to be taped and then edited and then put out. So that's not even an interview.

Kamala Harris’ first formal interview will finally debut on Thursday night – but her running mate is joining her for the sit-down.

The joint interview with Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz will air on CNN at 9:00 p.m. ET and anchor Dana Bash is asking the questions.

There has been a general swell of momentum in the 37 days since Harris launched her campaign, but also a slew of criticism for refusing to engage in a sit-down interview or hold a press conference.

And now the new question is – when will Harris sit for a solo interview without the buffer of Walz?

In her 2020 primary bid, Harris was generally viewed as unlikable and had issues earning support. So much so that she dropped out before the primary elections kicked-off.

And as vice president, Harris earned no votes to propel her to the 2024 Democratic nomination after she took over President Joe Biden’s campaign when he dropped his reelection bid last month.

Before the interview airs on Thursday, Harris will be campaigning in Savannah, Georgia.

Donald Trump leads Kamala Harris among independent voters, a new poll finds.

The YouGov poll found 42 percent of independent voters back Trump while 37 percent said they would vote for Harris.

It found 13 percent of independent voters were unsure which candidate they will vote for.
