U.S. media reported Thursday that Beyonce -- whose hit "Freedom" is already the Harris campaign signature song -- will join the Democrat when she visits Houston on Friday to highlight reproductive rights.

Harris declined to confirm the reports, but urged Americans to "stay tuned."

Other big names helping Harris include rapper Eminem, Usher and Megan Thee Stallion.

That is a lot of star power and Harris already has my vote .

But realistically I told people who said Trump couldn't win in 2016 that Clinton was in danger with progressives and workers.

Harris needs to make bold moves on inequality and social justice, health care to contrast herself more starkly from the kleptocrat Trump.

But Trump has Hale the crapto-fraud and Kid Schlock, lol.

I can't remember who are the candidates?

Harris, Trump, Beyonce, Lizzo, Gaga, Eminem, Usher, Megan Thee Stallion, Springsteen, etc...

With Trump as the Republican candidate I would have thought the Dems could have painted a pig blue written Presidential candidate on it and won.

But somehow Dems are struggling to the point they are soon going to dig up the dead passed celebrities or presidents to drag on stage.

Pathetic. As if some out-of-touch, washed up celeb mattered to anything. Embrace the suck, Dems. You're going down hard.

-11 ( +4 / -15 )

The entire momentum and energy is clearly on Harris' side...she's upbeat, energetic, and confident...

On the other hand, you have the Orange Loser who is so brain addled that his campaign has cancelled most of his events in an attempt to hide him away, and when he does emerge, he melts down with rants about someone's genitals then insults every audience he's at, to include his own supporters who he calls "fat pigs"...

We're seeing the end of Donald Trump as a political figure - he's now an unhinged, angry, word-slurring, pathetic joke - deep into the ravages of dementia...likely the only excuse to keep him from a cell...

Good, Trump’s got mine and he did being the star of the show..!

Seems like history is about to repeat itself

Harris needs to make bold moves on inequality and social justice, health care to contrast herself more starkly from the kleptocrat Trump.

She didn’t do any of that over the last 4 years, she never even visited the border as border czar after being appointed and so how will she take care of all these entitlements if she didn’t do them currently??? Since Trump won’t be going to prison and foiled the Wiley Dems at their own games, what’s next for them? They won’t get jobs in the private sector? Maybe a paid contributor gig?

Lizzio got 2.3 million dollars. So Eminem gets 5 and Beyoncé gets 10?

Kamala knows it over, just blowing the campaign cash on concerts she wants to see.

Eminem was kinda obvious that he was there to introduce Obama, not her. Barry needed that ego stroke.

…she never even visited the border as border czar…

She never was appointed something called “border czar” — that’s a term made up by Trump’s team and perpetuated by his ignorant minions.

This was fact checked by ABC and was false.

Just because he didn't do the NRA or 60 minutes Harris group made this up.

The reality is since Harris became the candidate Trump has out done her by nearly twice the number of events and interviews.

The fact that polls are showing her doing even worse than Biden was/would be doing especially among certain needed demographics, is telling.

-7 ( +4 / -11 )

I think the sickest Trump burns come from his own team - and the best at it is his former "best-ever" NSA John Bolton…

"Amid new reports about Donald Trump’s admiration for Adolf Hitler and fascism, the former president’s national security adviser pretty much said the Republican nominee is not a fascist.

But it wasn’t a compliment. 

In an interview Tuesday on CNN, John Bolton suggested Trump was too lazy and dumb to wrap his head around political philosophy.

“I think it’s a mistake to get into a controversy over whether Trump meets the definition of fascist or not,” he told the news network’s Kaitlan Collins. “I think his behavior alone is troubling enough. To be a fascist, you have to have a philosophy. Trump’s not capable of that. You know, Adolf Hitler wrote a profoundly troubling book called ‘Mein Kampf’ – ‘My Struggle.’ Donald Trump couldn’t even read his way all the way through that book, let alone write something like it.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden has tapped Vice President Kamala Harris to lead the White House effort to tackle the migration challenge at the U.S. southern border and work with Central American nations to address root causes of the problem.

Biden was always going to be a one term stop gap to beat Trump in 2020. That the Democrats didn't set up a credible replacement candidate in the 4 years they had is a mistake they are going to be kicking themselves over for a long time. They chose wokeness over reality. Harris to be VP for her gender and skin colour. We will see how that worded out on Nov 5th.

Hitler could be the leader of the republicans and hard core republicans would still vote him and Stalin could be the democratic leader and hard core dems would vote for him. It’s all about MY TEAM. And basically he can say whatever he wants and they’d still vote for him. It’s just that very small floating voter, and it doesn’t matter who wins the popular vote or national poll. It’s not the economy it’s the electorate college stupid. But to honest after two Bush’s and a Trump….. it’s just such a pitty Obama couldn’t come back. Atleast he was a decent guy.

Didn't happen....ROFL...

It did, check the history, all there

It was **Tillertson, Mattis, Barr, Kelly, Milley, Epstein, and Bolton** - all his own hand-chosen picks?

And all establishment, wonder what they’re doing these days besides being bored to death sitting at home

None of them have 34 felonies...

And got the establishment out thankfully.

It’s surprising many here thinks Harris is still going to win.

If a white woman couldn’t defeat Trump you think a minority woman will?

-7 ( +3 / -10 )

If the whole "celebrity endorsement" thing didn't work, politicians wouldn't use it.

It's cheap, it panders to the lowest common denominator, and it is clearly effective. Why else do the makers of products want famous people to endorse their stuff so badly?

Of course I imagine that if the situation were reversed and Trump was pulling in the real big stars, then MAGA would be all-in on that.

If a white woman couldn’t defeat Trump you think a minority woman will?

Trump was a (comparatively( unknown quantity as a politician the first time around. As I understand it, he won because a) he got a lot of help from Russia, and b) Clinton wasn't the ideal opponent.

Now that we know what four years of Trump looks like, it's now simply an issue of how many people want 4 more years of that, and how many don't.

So I would be voting for a Presidential candidate based on the celebrity that endorses them?

No, because at the end of the day, we are not voting for the celeb, we are voting for the candidate.

Harris is losing. And her answer, her final appeal to the voters, amounts to "Orange Man Bad", and "I know rich people". It isn't going to work. I always suspected that her campaign would tank as soon as she had to open her mouth and start talking. Same thing happened in 2020 during the Democratic primaries- she was forced to drop out before even one vote was cast.

-4 ( +4 / -8 )

the Dems are going all out to force the “Diddy party” people to campaign in return for keeping their names out of the press they control.

Another great example of MAGA lack of self-awareness and projection, like with Trump and his Jeffrey Epstein plane.

If you support Trump you probably do not want to go anyplace about Diddy in the debate.

The Harris campaign people are really clutching at straws now. A celebrity concert. How original and trite. They know it's over but can't admit it. CNN knows it's over and is tacitly admitting it. MSNBC knows it's over but can't admit it. Comically biased writers like the authors of this story probably know it too but are clinging desperately to a hope that's fast evaporating.

Yes, Biden was the better candidate, which is why Trump has repeatedly lamented that Harris replaced Biden. Makes total sense. :)

Would you like fries with that McDelusion?

What's delusional about pointing out how Trump has repeatedly whined about Harris replacing Biden on the ticket? Delusional would be thinking he wants to face a harder opponent.

Seems like a lot of 'buyer's remorse' for the democrats. They could have had an open primary. Could have picked a genuine moderate like Josh Shapiro, who would be ahead by 5 points by now. But they were trapped by their own ideology into choosing the objectively poorest candidate. And now will pay the price.

-3 ( +3 / -6 )

I note that the closer the election gets, the more intense the MAGA people are in their announcements. Now they're openly predicting a Trump landslide, even though the consensus seems to be that the election is "close" (which is a mystery to pretty much every other country, bar Russia perhaps).

If their predictions fail to come true and Harris wins - be it by a little or a lot - and they decide to stick around here, it will be especially entertaining to read their litany of excuses as to why their Orange Messiah lost. If they can even bring themselves to admit that, of course...

why Trump has repeatedly lamented that Harris replaced Biden.

Trump is 0.2 points away from winning “muh popular vote”.

lol Such disdain for democracy. What are basing this off of anyways?

Probably because we moved on from that and are now talking about the other melt-brain drivil Trump is bringing up. :)

What I've noticed here in comments is that most of the far-right commenters never make their comment first. This goes to the way the right works. As in these comments, most of the far-horde waits for someone to say something and then they put down what was said and the person who said it. This is the kind of cowardness that encumbers the right. Rather than to think for themselves, they want someone else to do it for them. At least with Harris we know she will make mistakes. I'd be shocked if she didn't because that's never happened ever. I don't want a dictator for a day. No dictator ever stopped after a day. If the far-right wants a country in which one has to watch what they say to a friend because you never know what your friend will do: keep silent or report you, they will be sorry for not thinking for themselves a little.

It's fairly standard for them. It's the "flood the zone" technique popularised by people like Steve "Mr. Personal Hygiene" Bannon. Just post a huge volume of complete falsehoods ("Trump is winning all the states that count, he's close to a landslide, Harris' campaign is desperate and losing"), with the intention to muddy the waters to the extent that people start to think that their claims might be true.

Looking at the comments and seeing the studies, it is interesting that the side claiming to be accepting is the one most likely to discriminate and be hostile to anyone thinking different.

The findings are the result of more than 40 hours of interviews commissioned by CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360” to talk politics with 80 elementary schoolers in Arizona, a 2024 battleground state; New Jersey, a blue state; and Texas, a red state

Democrat children were more likely to say their parents wouldn't even let them go to a friend's house if the parents were republican.

So much for the "inclusive" left.

I am not American and I see this from an outsider's point if view and all I heard from Harris are the same rehearsed lines and Trump Trump Trump.

She can't seem to say what if any policies she actually has.

I expected that from Trump but it seems she is as devoid of facts and policies as he is.

But she is great at putting on fake accents and repeating " I am from a middle class background" which is ironic because in Montreal she lived in the most exclusive rich area of Westmount that no one in my middle class family could have ever afforded.

This is projection par excellence.

The panic has set in, and the closer we get to November 5, the shriller the Democrats get in their messaging. They know they're done, and don't know where to turn. Cancelled the Rogan spot because they know she can barely hold a 2 minute conversation without mangling her message. Not even a SEAL team would be able to rescue her from 3 hours even with Rogan going easy on her.

It's too late to ditch their dud pick. They can't wheel ol' Joe out again. I'd love to be a fly on the wall at Harris campaign HQ. Pandamonium would be reigning.

The fact that so many people are voting is a good sign for Democrats, because when turnout is high, they usually win.

As my MSNBC colleague Steve Benen just explained, Trump is now openly floating the idea of deploying the military against his critics if he’s elected. It’s easy to imagine Flynn being part of that violent plan.

Among independent voters, Harris trails Trump 46 percent to 49 percent, a 7-point dip for the Democratic candidate since August and a return to the narrow lead Trump had over President Joe Biden with these voters in July. The 2020 Democratic ticket won independents by 15 points, according to AP VoteCast data.

Doesn't matter whether you are or not. You're clearly on their side, and in any case I'm referring to Democrats themselves and both their American and non-American supporters. The tone is the same and the feel is truly one of panic. They thought they had it in the bag so they badly misjudged their choice of candidate and running mate.

The irony is that while you go on about "panic", you and the other MAGA types on here are predicting more and more outlandish results. I get the general impression that this is going to be a close election (why, heaven only knows, but that's one for the psychologists), but now you guys are basically claiming that there is no chance at all of a democrat victory and that Trump is going to cruise to victory.

That sounds pretty panicky to me.

As for Trump being a convicted criminal - only in the vein of a Soviet-style show trial. Anyone with an ounce of critical thinking ability has seen this for the weaponisation of the justice system by the Democrats for what it is, which is why they're dismissing it and still voting for him if they're eligible.

Never been part of the "tribe". As I think I've said countless times (I know you MAGA people have the memory of a goldfish; no wonder you deny things like January 6 when you can't remember a detail from a few posts back), I'm not a US citizen. My natural political leanings are generally closer to democrat than republican, but as I can't vote in the US election then that is no more than personal trivia.

History books will record him as a convicted criminal. You can believe what you like, but the history books will record him as one. And if he wins the election, it will be written that the American public knowingly elected a convicted criminal to the highest office in the land.

Unlike this stable genius, with his well-articulated "weave" about 1,000% tariffs on imported cars:

And then all of a sudden, you hear that they’re leaving Milwaukee or they’re leaving wherever they may be located. It’s very sad to see it. And it’s so simple. I mean, you know, this isn’t like Elon with his rocket ships that land within 12 inches on the moon where they wanted to land. Or he gets the engines back. That was the first I realized. I said, “Who the hell did that?” I saw engines about three, four years ago. These things were coming. Cylinders, no wings, no nothing. And they’re coming down very slowly, landing on a raft in the middle of the ocean someplace with a circle. Boom.

Reminded me of the Biden circles that he used to have, right? He’d have eight circles and he couldn’t fill ’em up. But then I heard he beat us with the popular vote. I don’t know. I don’t know. Couldn’t fill up the eight circles. I always loved those circles. They were so beautiful. They were so beautiful to look at. In fact, the person that did them, that was the best thing about his, the level of that circle was great. But they couldn’t get people, so they used to have the press stand in those circles because they couldn’t get the people. Then I heard we lost. Oh, we lost. No, we’re never gonna let that happen again. But we’ve been abused by other countries. We’ve been abused by our own politicians, really, more than other countries.

He's just plain bonkers.

One VP is running for President supported by her boss....so where's Mike Pence supporting his boss?

if they're all idiots, why did he pick them in the first place? Idiots flock together?

Huh? He was new at this, he had no idea what slithering serpents they all were,

Oh. OK, he was stupid and got played for a sucker...thanks for admitting it...

Didn't happen....ROFL...

It did, check the history, all there

Where?

*It was **Tillertson, Mattis, Barr, Kelly, Milley, Epstein, and Bolton** - all his own hand-chosen picks?*

And all establishment, wonder what they’re doing these days besides being bored to death sitting at home

None of them have 34 felonies...

After being "handpicked" and called "best-ever"....

And got the establishment out thankfully.

AFTER he picked them and called them all "great"....got suckered?

More evidence MAGA-world is self-combusting...

Hardly looking at the latest polling numbers

He's cratering...and drowning in dementia...

History books will record him as a convicted criminal.

According to liberal historians

You can believe what you like, but the history books will record him as one.

Depending on which historian we are talking about

And if he wins the election, it will be written that the American public knowingly elected a convicted criminal to the highest office in the land.

According to liberal historians

No. He's a convicted criminal. That's a fact, not an opinion.

But what are her policies?

Think about it from another angle: when your opponent is Trump, maybe you don't need policies.

You just need to not be Trump.

Does anyone remember the policies that Joe Biden ran on when he beat Trump in 2020? I doubt it. I bet most people remember why they were glad he won: because he wasn't Trump. Not because of his policies on the economy, diplomacy, foreign trade, national security, and so on. Not even because the US regained its reputation as "not a clown show". But because he wasn't Trump. Didn't go around barging world leaders out of the way at international events. Didn't try to move hurricanes with a sharpie. Didn't make a political event out of a virus which subsequently killed fare more people than it should have.

He wasn't Trump.

(I'd imagine that this would be an effective tactic in Russia, if it weren't for the fact that even announcing your candidacy against Putin is probably enough to get your family exiled to the gulag. "Vote for me, and I'll stop sending all the menfolk from your family to be used as target practice for Ukrainian drones!")

The whole world has seen what 4 years of Trump looks like. I think Harris could just say "I won't be like that" and that should be enough for most sane individuals, but hey. Who knows.

It is truly quite terrifying to observe how far MAGA people will go to deny a legally established fact.

Careful what you ask of people. Not many people can sit through a string of empty platitudes delivered in accents that change according to the audience. Which is why she's struggling to generate excitement among undecided voters. She's just a dud candidate.

No. It’s a fact. You cannot dispute this.

Seems like a lot of 'buyer's remorse' for the democrats. They could have had an open primary. Could have picked a genuine moderate like Josh Shapiro, who would be ahead by 5 points by now. But they were trapped by their own ideology into choosing the objectively poorest candidate. And now will pay the price.

They don't seem to trust an open primary and the democratic process and would rather rely on their own small wisdom. Look at the result and this is what they've got.
