Donald Trump Questions Whether Kamala Harris Is Really Black

Onstage at the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) convention today, Donald Trump complained bitterly that technical difficulties had delayed his appearance, but he had no trouble squeezing plenty of inflammatory comments into a shortened interview. The former president refused to condemn the violent rioters on January 6, 2021. He gave only faint support for J. D. Vance’s preparedness to serve as president. He wouldn’t refute allies’ claim that his presumptive presidential opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris, is a “DEI candidate.” And in the most eye-popping moment, he questioned whether Harris is really Black.Onstage at the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) convention today, Donald Trump complained bitterly that technical difficulties had delayed his appearance, but he had no trouble squeezing plenty of inflammatory comments into a shortened interview.

Trump Is Suddenly Running Scared

Somehow, it was just two weeks ago that Donald Trump headed into the Republican National Convention looking like a juggernaut. That all feels like a long time ago. As his campaign enters its final three months, Trump looks like a man off balance. His polling lead has evaporated, his campaign strategy is obsolete, and he’s flaunting his most offensive tendencies. “I want to be nice,” Trump said Saturday at a rally in Minnesota. “They all say, I think he’s changed. I think he’s changed since two weeks ago. Something affected him. No, I haven’t changed—maybe I’ve gotten worse, actually.”Somehow, it was just two weeks ago that Donald Trump headed into the Republican National Convention looking like a juggernaut.

Progressives Are Excited About Tim Walz. Should They Be?

In the realm of presidential politics, progressives have become accustomed to disappointment. Joe Biden wasn’t their first (or second) choice in 2020. Nor, for that matter, was Kamala Harris. And Democratic nominees typically pick moderates for their running mates. So when Harris announced Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her choice for vice president this morning, progressives experienced an unusual feeling: elation. “It just feels so different and unexpected not to be let down and to be actually excited by a politician’s choice,” Adam Green, a co-founder of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee, told me by phone shortly after the news broke. “Kamala Harris had lots of choices in front of her, and she picked the most popular, exciting one.”In the realm of presidential politics, progressives have become accustomed to disappointment.

Another RFK Jr. Surprise

Before President Joe Biden dropped out of the 2024 presidential race, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s third-party campaign threatened to tip the election to Donald Trump. Now that Kamala Harris has replaced Biden on the ticket, Kennedy could still end up playing spoiler—in the Democrat’s favor. For most of this year, conventional wisdom has held that Kennedy would hurt the Democratic candidate more than the Republican. This was an imperfect prediction for many reasons, not least because Kennedy was altogether excluded from plenty of surveys. But when his name did appear as an option for respondents, polls showed him reducing both major candidates’ support—a little more so for Biden. A May New York Times poll, for example, had Trump leading Biden by an extra point when Kennedy was included. In a close race, a single percentage point can make all the difference.
