Kamala Harris delivered a presidential-style address on the death of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar saying that now comes a moment “to finally end the war in Gaza”.
The vice president spoke during a campaign stop at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee as she continues to focus on the swing states, skipping Thursday’s Al Smith dinner for Catholic charities, at which presidential candidates usually make humorous remarks. Donald Trump will attend the event in New York, while a pre-recorded video of Harris will be played.
Trump has again lashed out at CBS flagship news show 60 Minutes over standard edits it made to an interview with Harris. The former president baselessly claims the conduct was criminal and wants the network’s license revoked.
The Harris campaign mocked Trump’s refusal to debate the vice president again and his ducking of interviews and appearances. On Thursday the National Rifle Association announced it has canceled a “Defend the 2nd” event due to “campaign scheduling changes”.
Meanwhile, Trump has reacted in gloating fashion to rival Harris’s tense interview with Fox News’s Bret Baier, in which the Democrat clashed with the host on illegal immigration, Joe Biden, and the threat posed by Trump himself.

WWE star Dave Bautista tears into ‘weak, tubby toddler’ Trump over ‘tough guy’ pose

Bautista, 55, rose to fame as a WWE wrestler before building a career as an action star in movies including Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy franchise, the James Bond film Spectre and both instalments of Dune.
On last night’s Jimmy Kimmel Live!, late-night host Kimmel quoted a recent New York Times poll that found Trump is leading rival candidate Kamala Harris by 17 points among male voters. “But is he the strong, alpha man these men believe him to be?” asked Kimmel. “Not according to one of the toughest guys I know, he isn’t.”

“He had American blood on his hands,” Vice President Kamala Harris said of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, the mastermind of the October 7 attacks who was confirmed killed today in Gaza.
Any terrorist who kills Americans or threatens them, “we will always bring you to justice,” she added in a presidential-style televised statement during a campaign stop in Milwaukee.
The vice president said the death of Sinwar “gives us an opportunity to finally end the war in Gaza”.
During her visit to the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, the vice president also stopped by a business class, alongside business leader Mark Cuban, where she greeted students and discussed entrepreneurship and economic policy.
