Tulsi Gabbard is put on a government watch list for a very bizarre reason

Donald Trump Tells Fox News:

Vice President Kamala Harris has still not sat down for an interview or held a press conference since launching her presidential campaign.

It's been 17 days since Harris entered the race.

Her lack of off-script moments since taking over for President Joe Biden has led to questions over how Harris will perform without a teleprompter or prepared remarks.

The vice president made herself much more accessible to media after Biden's disastrous debate as she went on MSNBC, CNN and ABC to push the 'bad night' narrative.

And despite the terrible news cycle for the current president, even Biden granted a sit-down interview witn ABC News just eight days after his debate with Trump – and after two other radio interviews earlier in the week.

Second gentleman Doug Emhoff left for Paris on Wednesday where he will lead the U.S. delegation for the closing ceremony of the Olympics.

He will be there through Monday for a combination official and campaign visit.

Emhoff will meet with Team USA athletes and attend Olympic events while he's on the ground there, his office said.

He will also hold events to promote Holocaust education and combat antisemitism. He will speak at the annual commemoration for the victims of the 1982 Rue des Rosiers attack, which was a bombing and shooting attack on a Jewish restaurant carried out by the Palestinian militant Abu Nidal Organization, a group that splintered from PLO.

Emhoff will also attend a fundraiser for Kamala Harris' presidential campaign, joining Americans abroad in supporting his wife. Jill Biden was originally scheduled to attend but Emhoff took over after Joe Biden exited the race.

Maryland's GOP Senate candidate Larry Hogan is out with a new $2 million ad set to hit airwaves on Wednesday that puts his centrist bonafides on display - without fear of angering the right wing of his party.

It highlights Hogan's support for abortion rights and his opposition to 'extreme Project 2025' - a Heritage Foundation policy plan that has become a favorite line of attack for Democrats and even Trump himself has denounced.

Progressive Squad member Cori Bush had an on-stage meltdown Tuesday after losing her reelection bid.

The progressive Democrat became the second Squad member to be taken down after a hotly-contested primary against a more moderate challenger who hammered Bush for supporting pro-Gaza protests.

Now, she is blaming her defeat on pro-Israel group AIPAC which put a whopping nearly $9 million to oust her, who she threatened to 'tear down.'

Her unhinged remarks came during a primary election watch party in St. Louis, Missouri, where she took a stage in front of supporters.

Pacing back and forth on the stage and speaking so loudly that the microphone shook, the former Black Lives Matter organizer condemned 'corporations' and AIPAC, charging them with orchestrating her ousting.

Defiantly, Bush told the crowd that now she is no longer bound to the decorum of Congress, and that now she had 'some of the strings [cut] off,' her opponents will 'see this other Cori, this other side.'

Gov. Tim Walz aced Kamala Harris' final test as he was able to secure his spot on the ticket with the vice president by vowing he doesn't have higher aspirations and is ready to take a supporting role.

The Minnesota progressive at 60-years-old is just one year older than Harris, but has already served six terms in the House of Representatives and is nearly halfway through his second gubernatorial term.

The answer that most likely secured Walz the job over Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro and Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly was insisting at the meeting:

A person involved in the vetting process told Politico that Walz told Harris:

Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro is not heading to the White House any time soon, but many Democrats in his battleground state say they're actually relieved he was passed over as Kamala Harris' running mate.

After weeks of speculation, the vice president chose Minnesota Governor Tim Walz instead to join her on the Democratic presidential ticket. The move was met with praise from Democrats across the political spectrum but also brought allegations, largely from Republicans, that she bowed to pressure from the left not to pick Shapiro.

'I thought it was going to be Shapiro, but we need him to stay here in Pennsylvania. We need him here,' said Harris supporter Betty Blue from Philadelphia.

It was a common response from Democrats DailyMail.com spoke to after the big reveal.

White House national security spokesman John Kirby blasted new Hamas political chief Yahya Sinwar after he assumed his new post.

‘Man’s a terrorist. He has an awful lot of blood on his hands. This guy was the architect of the 7th of October attacks in Israel. And some of that blood on his hands is American blood. He has always been the chief decision maker,’ he said. ‘As the chief decision maker, he needs to decide now to take this deal, to get a cease fire in place, to get some of those hostages home.’

Kirby in a zoom briefing with reporters also commented on the status of U.S. personnel injured in the latest attack at Al Asad air base in western Iraq. He said some who were wounded had returned to duty, and some are getting additional medical care outside of the region. ‘Those that are still receiving medical care are in stable condition, which is good,’ he added.

Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance and his wife Usha Vance arrived in Detroit, Michigan for a rally on Wednesday morning.

The Republican vice presidential candidate is speaking Shelby Township as he continues this week to follow Vice President Kamala Harris' route and beat her to the punch in critical swing states.

Sen. Vance also appeared in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for a press conference on Tuesday afternoon just hours ahead of Harris' first appearance in the swing state alongside new running mate Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.

Usha Vance was seen boarding so-called Trump Force One at the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport with a paper bag from Whole Foods.

Donald Trump's running mate Sen. J.D. Vance slammed Kamala Harris's V.P. pick on Wednesday amid reports that Gov. Tim Walz had skipped out on being deployed to Iraq with the Minnesota National Guard.

Vance, who served with the U.S. Marines in Iraq, said it was 'shameful' if Walz had retired in 2005 just as his battalion was preparing to go to war.

'I mean, your job as a senior enlisted guy in a unit is to keep your people safe. That's not a job you can switch out of on a moment's notice,' Vance told DailyMail.com during an exclusive interview aboard his campaign plane, nicknamed Trump Force Two.

'So if he abandoned his troops before they went to Iraq or wherever ... absolutely shameful.'

Walz, the governor of Minnesota, was named by Harris as her running mate on Tuesday.

Donald Trump says he wasn't 'always sitting at Mar-a-Lago' after Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz attacked him for not understanding kitchen table issues.

The former president went on the defense to claim he and his policies are more popular with blue collar workers than Vice President Kamala Harris and her new progressive running mate.

Walz said at his first tandem rally with Harris as her running mate on Tuesday night:

Trump responded in a Fox & Friends interivew Wednesday morning:

Trump then said that Biden-Harris inflation is 'killing' the same people that Walz is talking about.

Donald Trump thinks the media is trying to make Kamala Harris into the liberal-version of conservative British icon and late Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.

The former president told Fox & Friends that Democrats didn't want to put up Harris on their ticket, but claimed they didn't have a choice and had to run with what they had.

Trump told the three-host couch on Wednesday morning:
