US Vice President Kamala Harris will address the biannual Zeta Phi Beta Sorority national convention in Indianapolis, Indiana, on Wednesday, following on from her first presidential campaign rally in Milwaukee on Tuesday.
Harris launched a scathing attack on Republican nominee Donald Trump in Wisconsin, accusing him of trying to “take the country backward”.
“Do we want to live in a country of freedom, compassion and rule of law, or a country of chaos, fear and hate?” she asked.
Also on Wednesday, President Joe Biden will address the nation from the Oval Office to outline his plans for finishing out his term.
The Democratic campaign appears re-energised since Biden pulled out of the race on Sunday, with his Vice President quickly securing support from more than 64 per cent of party delegates to become the party’s nominee for presidency.
Biden threw his support behind his deputy moments after withdrawing his bid for another term in the White House amid longstanding questions about his age and health.
So far, no major Democratic rivals have emerged to challenge Harris while the party raised a record-breaking $81m in the 24 hours after Biden announced he was stepping aside.
Project 2025 author’s new book has forward by… JD Vance
As the Trump presidential campaign continues to try and disassociate itself from the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 manifesto, its author, Kevin Roberts, has a new book coming out in September: Dawn’s Early Light: Taking Back Washington to Save America.
The foreword is written by none other than Donald Trump’s running mate and vice presidential nominee, Ohio Senator JD Vance…
Here’s what Vance he had to say in his review: “Never before has a figure with Roberts’s depth and stature within the American Right tried to articulate a genuinely new future for conservatism… We are now all realizing that it’s time to circle the wagons and load the muskets. In the fights that lay ahead, these ideas are an essential weapon.”

Anti-Trump group ‘Haley voters for Harris’ told to ‘cease and desist’
A group of dissatisfied Nikki Haley voters who supported the former UN ambassador’s primary run for the Republican Party nomination has formed “Haley voters for Harris” to support presumptive Democrat nominee Kamala Hsrris in opposition to the candidacy of Donald Trump, whom Haley has now said she supports.
It would appear that Haley had her attorneys order them to “cease and desist,” and they have fired back with the below statement, which is now going viral.
They write: “We enthusiastically supported Nikki Haley over former President Trump in the primaries. Our rights to engage with likeminded voters and encourage them to vote for Kamala Harris — the clear better choice for the country — will not be suppressed.”
