Harris gets testy to start Fox interview as she is questioned about the border: Live

Vice President Kamala Harris distanced herself from President Joe Biden during her Fox News interview, telling anchor Bret Baier her presidency “will not be a continuation of Joe Biden’s presidency.”

”Like every new president that comes into office, I will bring my life experiences, my professional experiences, and fresh and new ideas, I represent a new generation of leadership,” Harris said.

Fox News’s Bret Baier asked Kamala Harris if she supports “using taxpayer dollars to help prison inmates or detained illegal aliens to transition to another gender.”

Her responses, which she gave while serving in the Senate, indicated she supported taxes being used to fund gender-affirming care for federal prisoners and detained immigrants.

“I will follow the law, and it’s a law that Donald Trump actually followed, you’re probably familiar with it now,” Harris told Baier. “It’s a public report that under Donald Trump’s administration, these surgeries were available on a medical necessity basis to people in the federal prison system.”

Fox News is airing Bret Baier’s interview with Kamala Harris at 6 pm Eastern time. The conversation marks the first time Harris has appeared on the network.

In an attempt to boost Donald Trump’s record on healthcare, JD Vance touted that his family members obtained private insurance for the first time under the former president’s administration.

However he failed to mention a key fact – it was through the Affordable Care Act, better known as Obamacare — the very same legislation that Trump tried to repeal.

Jimmy Carter cast his ballot in the 2024 election Wednesday.

The former president voted by mail, the Carter Center confirmed in a statement. It happened barely two weeks after Carter celebrated his 100th birthday on Oct. 1 at his home in Plains, Georgia, where he’s been living in hospice care.

His son Chip Carter said before the family gathering that his father had this election very much in mind.

“He’s plugged in,” Chip Carter told The Associated Press. “I asked him two months ago if he was trying to live to be 100, and he said, ‘No, I’m trying to live to vote for Kamala Harris.’”

The Carter Center’s brief statement said it had no more details to share.

Georgia’s registered voters have been turning out in record numbers since early voting began Monday. Nearly 460,000 had voted in-person or cast absentee ballots by Tuesday afternoon, Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said.

Carter’s vote should count even if he’s no longer alive by Election Day on Nov. 5.

Robert Sinners, a spokesman for the secretary of state’s office, noted that Georgia election rules state that when an absentee ballot is received by local election officials “it shall be deemed to have been voted then and there.”

Alabama’s Republican Secretary of State Wes Allen claimed that those voters were “issued noncitizen identification numbers,” and are therefore ineligible to cast a ballot.

But the lawsuits uncovered that voting-eligible citizens also ended up on that list…

Andrew Woodward explains how this fits in with wider attempts at voter suppression.

Fulton Country District Attorney Fani Willis is asking a Georgia appeals court to reinstate six charges against Donald Trump and his co-defendants in the sprawling Georgia 2020 election interference case. This includes three charges against Trump himself.

Donald Trump has said “only stupid people put old” people in positions on the Supreme Court – seemingly forgetting that he’s a 78-year-old man running for the top position in the executive branch.

Trump made the remarks during an interview with Bloomberg while in Chicago on Tuesday.
