Harris

Chalkbeat - Vice President Kamala Harris quickly emerged as the most likely Democratic nominee for president, securing dozens of endorsements within hours of President Joe Biden announcing he would end his reelection campaign. If Harris becomes the nominee, she’ll face a Republican opponent in former President Donald Trump who has promised to cut federal funding for schools that teach “inappropriate” lessons on race, gender, and politics, and to roll back protections for gay and transgender students.

While the economy, immigration, and foreign policy have received far more attention this election cycle, the parties differ sharply on education. Harris almost immediately secured the endorsement of the American Federation of Teachers, the nation’s second largest teachers union. The National Education Association followed on Tuesday, with President Becky Pringle posting on X, the site formerly known as Twitter, that “Kamala has delivered for students & educators.” 

CNN - Democrats are eagerly awaiting to see whom Vice President Kamala Harris picks as her running mate as a few contenders appear to be rising to the forefront. Polling and extensive research is underway for Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro and Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly. Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg are also seen as prospective running mates. On Monday, North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper took himself out of consideration in a sign the accelerated search has entered a new phase. Harris' decision on a running mate could come within a week, two people familiar with the matter said, with her goal to make an announcement before August 7.

Kamala’s WinsIn a stunning announcement, Chief Executive Leadership Institute CEO Jeffrey Sonnenfeld says there will not be one Fortune 500 CEO supporting Donald Trump. This is wholly unprecedented. Retweet so all Americans see this shocking news.

 Kamala Harris has released a statement saying she will be attending the September 10 debate that Donald Trump previously agreed to and is now backpedaling on. “[I] will be there on September 10th. We’ll see if Trump shows.”
