Harris had praised Brown in the afterlife for being “on this adventure with me every step of the way. “

Walz referenced the inflation factor in his April 2023 State of the State report to the Minnesota House of Representatives, where he also unveiled his universal flexible school feeding plan.
“On top of that, our plan invests billions more in our education system, adding a more than 10 percent increase in the overall education investment formula over the next four years to the heroic work of our wonderful teachers. And it includes enough cash to supply universal school meals, so that no Minnesota child has to be informed on an empty stomach.

The border has proven to be a primary factor among the electorate throughout the country.
The Democratic nominee recently released a crusade ad titled “Tougher,” in which she discusses her current position on the issue.
“Fixing the border is difficult, and so is Kamala Harris,” he says.
Harris was criticized in 2022 for suggesting that “the border is secure,” despite the large number of illegal immigrants crossing it.
A CNN fact-checker on Thursday criticized Democrats for spreading incorrect information about former President Trump and the Heritage Foundation’s “Project 2025. “
“[Trump], with his friends, said out loud the quieter parts, but not only did he say them out loud, he wrote an e-book about it. What’s your name? Project 2025,” Blunt said.
“This is false. Trump did not write the 2025 bill,” said CNN’s Daniel Dale. “The primary policy document published through the Heritage Foundation think tank lists dozens of other people as authors, editors and contributors. Donald Trump is not one of them. “
Trump himself referred to the task in an interview Thursday on Fox News, saying he was unfamiliar with the document and had not read it.
Trump made the comments in a Thursday morning interview with Fox and Friends.
“Mr. President, there was a big announcement. Big rumors are spreading that RFK Jr might give up, he could help him. Their spokesperson said they would give a live speech tomorrow about their way forward. And now there are rumors that he might sign up for you at this rally in Arizona tomorrow to announce that he’s helping you. What’s the truth?” asked Fox host Ainsley Earhardt.
“I’ve known him for a long time. As you know, it’s a little bit of a different kind. A very intelligent guy, a very intelligent person. If he would support me, it would be an honor. It would be “I feel very honored. In fact, it has its center in the right place. He is a person of good repute. Women like some of his policies and I guess other people don’t like some of his policies,” Trump said. “But in general. . . They treated him very badly. I think he would have, you know, he’s saying he would have beaten Biden in the primary. “

BIDEN WOULD STILL BE “AMAZING AND P—-D” TO BE POSTPONED

“It has been 16 years since I had the honor of accepting the presidential nomination of this party. And I know it is difficult, since I am not old, but it is true. And looking back, I can say without a doubt that my La “The first big resolution that your candidate turned out to be one of the most productive was to ask Joe Biden to be my vice president with me,” Obama said Tuesday night from the Democratic National Committee.
“Beyond a common Irish blood, Joe and I come from other backgrounds. But we have become brothers. And although we worked together for 8 years (pretty complicated), what I admired most about Joe was not only his intelligence and his experience, but it was his empathy and decency, as well as his hard-earned resilience and his unwavering confidence that everyone in this country deserves a fair chance.

Chicago, thanks to its geographic centrality, is the most popular city in terms of primary political conventions.
Between 1860 and 1996, Chicago hosted 14 national Republican nominating conventions and Democratic Party conventions.
Democratic Gov. JB Pritzker of Illinois, along with the state’s congressional delegation and Chicago city officials, were instrumental in organizing the convention. And one of its promotions is the gigantic number of hotel rooms in Chicago, which means that the thousands of delegates, officials and journalists covering the convention could stay within the city limits.
This is far from the case with many political conventions. Last month, some delegates and reporters were staying in hotels away from downtown Milwaukee for the 2024 Republican National Convention.

Walz joined former President Bill Clinton in attacking Trump’s tenure. Clinton also noted that Trump is older than him despite the years that have passed since his service.
Meanwhile, Walz’s progressive record as governor was seized upon by Republicans after he became Vice President Kamala Harris’ running mate, and he had a much more moderate reputation when he entered Congress in 2007.
Walz had ousted Minnesota’s red-leaning first congressional district and ousted a sitting Republican president to win the seat.
However, his first foray into politics came in 2004, when he volunteered for John Kerry’s failed presidential campaign.
Walz’s political activism flared shortly before when he took a group of his students to a rally for George W. Bush’s re-election, where one of his students was questioned through security for having a sticker advertising Kerry on his wallet. , according to MinnPost.
