Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., appeared to call President Trump a "joke" while responding to his son questioning her sense of humor on Friday. The exchange surfaced after Trump Jr. tweeted the question: "Why is @KamalaHarris the only person that laughs at her jokes ... always way to [sic] long and way too hard?" He added that she was the "most disingenuous person in politics ... after Hillary," a reference to his father's former opponent, Hillary Clinton. Harris responded with an apparent attack on his father. "You wouldn’t know a joke if one raised you," she tweeted. Trump Jr. shot back...

California presidential candidate Sen. Kamala Harris has been campaigning in Iowa and apparently been telling the local poli-sci majors to "learn to code...." The scene is a beauty parlor, so it may well be that she told one of its Millennial denizens upset at her low-skill job after graduating from college with a useless major to learn code if she wants a better-paying job. The problem, of course, is that it's a dismissive sort of advice to throw out to someone who might just be unsuited to learning code and, in any case, clearly had dreams of doing something else......

Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) is shifting her campaign strategy and focusing on Iowa, going as far as preparing “Sunday suppers” for families in the Hawkeye State in hopes of recruiting supporters. The Harris campaign is touting a new facet of her Iowa swing, dubbed the “I feel your pain” tour. It features a series of more “intimate” meetings with families in the early caucus state, designed to show a different side of the California senator. The tour follows contentious Democrat debates, in which Harris’s competitors — namely, Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) — highlighted less-than-flattering aspects of Harris’s prosecutorial record.

A spokesman for Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) on Wednesday lashed out at fellow Democratic presidential hopeful Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii) after the congresswoman criticized Harris's call on Twitter to suspend President Trump's account.

You know what? Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Kamala Harris of California says President Trump’s Twitter account “should be suspended.” "I think there is plenty of now evidence to suggest that he is irresponsible with his words in a way that could result in harm to other people and so the privilege of using those words in that way should probably be taken away from him," Harris said in an interview. Further proof that Kamala would make a bad president. Her instinct when faced with something: ban it. Really, she's not going to help herself by "de-tweeting" Trump. If anything, that...

Kamala Harris is shaking up the top ranks of her presidential campaign, the latest sign her once-promising bid is failing to meet expectations. The staff moves amount to a significant reorganization for a campaign that’s dropped so far in polls that it risks becoming a postscript in the Democratic primary. Harris’ light early-state schedule, hiccups on the trail and lack of consistency in delivering her message have consumed much of the attention and blame for her mounting struggles.

Non-African-American Kamala Harris is so politically compromised she couldn’t do or say the right thing if her life or the life of a loved one depended on it. In an interview this weekend, Harris was asked if she would allow her Vice President’s son to be involved in a lucrative business deal with a foreign country (like, you know, Ukraine or something) that her administration had dealings with in a substantive way.

Sen. Kamala Harris suggested that Twitter should suspend President Trump's account after a firestorm of tweets in which he criticized the anonymous whistleblower whose complaint led to an impeachment inquiry against him. "The president's tweets and his behaviors about this are just further evidence of the fact that he uses his power in a way that is designed to beat people down instead of lift people up," Harris said to Anderson Cooper during a Monday interview. "His Twitter account should be suspended," she said. "There is plenty of evidence to suggest that he is irresponsible with his words in a...

The Kamala Harris campaign gamble on Iowa as the race for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination nears the opening caucuses may not pay off, according to campaign strategists. "I'm f--king moving to Iowa," Harris, 54, was overheard telling a Senate colleague this month. Though the former California attorney general was being at least partly facetious, she has promised to visit the first-in-the-nation state every week of October and will double the size of her Hawkeye State staff as she tries to overcome her summer slump before primary voters start caucusing on Feb. 3. The tactic represents a shift in emphasis...

Kamala Harris is putting her stumbling campaign on the line with a new Iowa-or-bust strategy: She's shifting away from the closed-door fundraisers that dominated her summer calendar to focus on retail politicking in the crucial kickoff state. Harris huddled with top campaign officials Tuesday in Baltimore to discuss the next steps as a series of polls show her plummeting into the mid-single digits. She's not expected to significantly alter her message. Instead, Harris is planning to make weekly visits to the state and nearly double the size of her 65-person ground operation, sources familiar with the discussions told POLITICO.

During last night's Democratic presidential debate, former Vice President Joe Biden admonished Sen. Kamala Harris (D–Calif.) for promising to impose new gun controls by executive fiat if Congress fails to pass the laws she thinks it should. That gave Harris a perfect opportunity to explain how her 100-day plan for gun control can be reconciled with constitutional restrictions on presidential power. The former prosecutor not only conspicuously failed to do so but literally laughed at the question. The senator's campaign website promises that "if Congress fails to send comprehensive gun safety legislation to Harris' desk within her first 100 days...

Top 2020 Democratic contenders Kamala Harris and Julian Castro announced on Sunday that Supreme Court Associate Justice Brett Kavanaugh "must be impeached," after a new, uncorroborated and disputed allegation of sexual misconduct against Kavanaugh surfaced in a New York Times piece. ~snip~ Nevertheless, Democrats announced a new effort to topple Kavanaugh. Impeaching Kavanaugh would require a majority vote in the Democratic-controlled House, and a highly unlikely two-thirds vote in the GOP-majority Senate would then be needed to remove him from the bench. "I sat through those hearings," Harris wrote on Twitter. "Brett Kavanaugh lied to the U.S. Senate and most...

Sen. Kamala Harris' debate performance on Thursday fails to impress many of her party's big money donors and fails to win over some financiers who were on the fence about her candidacy... One source said Friday they had been having trouble persuading their donors to back her candidacy before the debate. The negative opinion didn't change after the debate. "I don't think anything has changed, and it's been grim," this person said.

Joe Biden had attempted to inject some sanity in the Democratic debate over gun control by noting that presidents don’t have the authority in the Constitution to order seizures of firearms and banning guns. Harris, a former AG, literally laughed off that concern when ABC News anchor David Muir asked her about it Kamala Harris replied to Biden's claim that her proposed exec order would be unconstitutional by *laughing* and blithely saying "instead of saying no we can't, how about yes we can". HARRIS: Well, I mean, I would just say, hey, Joe, instead of saying, no, we can’t, let’s...

Kamala Harris entered the presidential race with impressive credentials -- a popular black woman with an inspiring story who hailed from a large Democratic state and drew accolades for her fiery questioning of President Donald Trump’s nominees. Yet despite a shot of adrenaline after confronting front-runner Joe Biden in the first debate, she has failed to catch fire with Democratic voters who are torn between a nostalgic fondness for Biden and a revolutionary desire for Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren. Harris’s attempt to replicate her feat in the second debate backfired among Democrats who say she went too negative on...

While California is the nation’s most populous and richest state – and has been for a half-century – it hasn’t wielded the level of national political power one might expect from that status. New York, still the nation’s financial center, and Texas, California’s chief cultural and economic rival, have been much more successful in projecting themselves nationally. That’s been especially true in presidential politics. New Yorker Donald Trump sits in the White House, having defeated New Yorker Hillary Clinton three years ago. The Bush family from Texas won the presidency three times in the past three decades. But California hasn’t...

"....It was also the church’s “Social Justice Sunday” and a few days away from the anniversary of the Aug. 28, 1963, March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. Several state and local elected officials were in the pews, including N.C. Sen. Floyd McKissick Jr., whose father, Floyd McKissick Sr., was one of the speakers at the March on Washington, where the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. gave his famous “I Have a Dream” speech. Harris spoke during the service about what Jesus said about “who is your neighbor.” She said the neighbor may be that man by the side of...

There’s her backtracking on busing and her waffling on Medicare for All, not to mention her prosecutorial scandals. A new national CNN poll of the 2020 Democratic primary has some pretty brutal numbers for Kamala Harris. When CNN last polled the presidential race shortly after the first Democratic debate in June, Harris was on Joe Biden’s heels, trailing just 17 percent to 22 percent. But according to the latest survey by CNN, conducted August 15 to 18, Biden has rebounded to 29 percent, while Harris has dropped all the way down to 5 percent, tied for fourth place with South...

Sen. Kamala Harris made a splash at the first Democratic debate when she attacked former vice president Joe Biden for being racist. She soared up in the polls, but now she’s plummeting back down to earth. A new CNN poll puts Harris at just 5%, down 12 percentage points from the liberal network’s last survey in June. Meanwhile, Biden — whose numbers fell after his first shaky debate performance — now stands at 29%, up 7 points from CNN’s previous poll.
