Kamala Harris narrows her vice presidential shortlist to three candidates

Kamala Harris has narrowed her search for a running mate to a list of three prominent Democrats, according to reports.

The vice president has two weeks to choose who will join her on the slate and has been feverishly vetting candidates to run against Donald Trump and J.D. Vance in November.

She has considered a wide range of elected members of the Democratic Party, but is now believed to have set her sights on the three most popular figures in the country.

Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona, Governor Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania and Governor Tim Walz of Minnesota are currently the favorites in the eyes of the campaign, Bloomberg reported.

Shapiro and Kelly are seen as the candidates Republicans fear most heading into the general election.

They both come from swing states, which are crucial to the outcome of the election.

Biden announces massive three-step overhaul of Supreme Court, including constitutional amendment aimed at Trump

President Joe Biden has called for sweeping reforms to the Supreme Court, including term limits, a binding code of conduct for the nine justices and a constitutional amendment that would limit presidential immunity.

Biden cited “recent ethics scandals” involving Supreme Court justices and rulings that “overturned long-standing legal precedents protecting fundamental rights.” He called on Congress to enact three key reforms in an effort to “restore trust and accountability” in America’s democratic institutions.

The White House on Monday detailed Biden’s proposal for the court, noting that the Democrat believes “no one — neither the president nor the Supreme Court — is above the law.”

The president will formally introduce the changes today during a speech in Austin, Texas. But his proposals appear unlikely to be approved by a deeply divided Congress with just 99 days to go until Election Day.

Regardless, Democrats hope Biden’s proposal will help voters focus on their choices in the close presidential election.

Vice President Kamala Harris, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, has attempted to portray her race against former Republican President Donald Trump as “a choice between freedom and chaos.”

Google Sparks Terrifying New Election Conspiracy as Key Trump Feature Omits

Google’s autocomplete feature is not returning any results on the attempted assassination of Donald Trump, leading conservatives to accuse the web giant of election manipulation.

Now, if you enter the term “assassination attempt on” into the system, the attempt on Donald Trump’s life from two weeks ago will not show up in AutoFill.

Roger Marshall, a Republican senator from Kansas, announced Sunday night that he will launch a congressional investigation into the company.

The news also reached Donald Trump Jr., who issued a scathing statement about X regarding the omission.

Trump’s anti-sniper operatives’ chilling text messages before assassination attempt reveal how shooter was one step ahead of Secret Service and local law enforcement

A series of shocking text messages from snipers assigned to protect Donald Trump at the Pennsylvania rally where the president was nearly killed by an assassin’s bullet showed they were one step behind the shooter.

A large-scale investigation has been launched into the attack, which Trump miraculously survived. Shortly after the shooting on July 13, Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle also resigned.

When one of the three snipers tried to stop at about 4:26 p.m., they saw a man sitting on a picnic table, who they later confirmed was Crooks.

“Guys I’m out of here. Be careful,” he wrote. “Someone followed our lead and snuck in and parked next to our cars just so you know. I’m letting you know because you saw me go outside with my gun and put it in my car so he knows you’re there,” he wrote.
