On Thursday, Kamala Harris participated in a “virtual rally” with Oprah Winfrey, featuring a wide-ranging interview.

Israel has not commented, though the blasts occurred just hours after it expanded its military objectives, following the October 7 Hamas attacks, to target Hezbollah along the Lebanon border.

A U.S. Secret Service spokesperson summed up a tense afternoon at Trump International Golf Course in West Palm Beach, Florida, with five chilling words: “We live in dangerous times.” The statement was made during a press conference on Sunday, just hours after a person was spotted near the golf course with what appeared to be an AK-47-style semi-automatic rifle, only a few hundred yards from where former President Donald Trump was playing golf.

The debate opened on her terms.

Since then, they had circled each other, with Harris gaining recognition for her tough questioning of Trump administration officials. Four years later, she was instrumental in defeating Trump as Joe Biden’s running mate. For over 90 minutes on Tuesday night, Harris kept Trump on the defensive,…

The debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris was an event filled with anticipation and unexpected turns. Originally, Trump had prepared to face off against Joe Biden, continuing their rivalry from the 2020 election. However, Biden’s withdrawal from the race following his poor performance in the June debate against Trump left the Republican nominee facing an unfamiliar opponent: Kamala Harris. Harris, stepping into the Democratic nomination, has brought a fresh dynamic to the presidential race. With her background as a prosecutor and experience from previous debates, Harris is well-prepared for Trump’s unpredictable style, especially his sharp attacks, which are often…
