Donald Trump has blamed “a complete lack of American Strength and Leadership” by Kamala Harris and Joe Biden for the deaths of six Israeli hostages including one US citizen, likening the situation to the “Debacle of the Afghanistan Withdrawal”.
The former president is trying to deflect from the controversy over his visit to Arlington National Cemetery in which his campaign filmed him in an area in which it is forbidden. This resulted in an altercation between his aides and cemetery staff.
Harris says Trump “disrespected sacred ground” when he undertook what she called a “political stunt”.
The Trump team hit back releasing video messages from Gold Star families who lost loved ones in the US withdrawal from Afghanistan under the Biden administration.
A joint statement from the families of the service members killed in the Abbey Gate bombing says they are “appalled” by the vice president’s “recent attempts to politicize” Trump’s visit to the cemetery.
Meanwhile, the Harris campaign has accused Trump of flip-flopping on policy issues including IVF treatment and the recreational use of marijuana.
In a memo, the campaign said: “Trump must be held accountable for his brazen flip-flops wholly at odds with how he governed as president.”
Even as polling shows her beating Trump, Harris campaign embraces ‘underdog’ label
A memo sent out by the Harris campaign on Sunday morning claimed that the vice president was still the “underdog” in the race and projected “razor-thin” margins for the race in November.
Trump’s IVF proposal divides Maga loyalists and conservatives
The ex-president has been trying to navigate the post-Roe landscape since 2022, with limited success. As his presidential campaign has progressed throughout 2024, Trump has repeatedly claimed credit for appointing Supreme Court justices who voted to overturn federal protections on abortion — while he has simultaneously sought to distance himself from hardline opponents of abortion who are seeking to ban IVF and other fertility treatments, as well as the stricter end of GOP-led proposals to ban abortion at various points during the pregnancy.
Over the past week, the former president made his latest attempt.
New poll shows more enthusiastic support for Harris, more reservations over Trump
The new ABC News/Ipsos poll, released today shows more enthusiastic support for Kamala Harris among those who back her, while a larger proportion of Donald Trump’s supporters have reservations about backing him compared to those who support the vice president.
Among people who support Harris, most (64%) strongly support her, 18% support her with some reservations, and 19% mainly dislike the other candidates.
Among people who support Trump, 60% strongly support him. However, compared to Harris, nearly twice as many Trump supporters support him with reservations (31% support Trump with reservations vs. 18% for Harris).
There is a similar gap around the “anti-vote”, that is those who support their candidate because they mainly dislike the other candidates. Compared to Trump’s support, twice as many Harris supporters are backing her because they mainly dislike other candidates (19% support Harris because they mainly dislike other candidates vs. 9% of Trump supporters).
For most Americans (79%), Robert F. Kennedy Jr. suspending his campaign and supporting Trump makes no difference in their vote. About one in ten (12%) say that RFK Jr. supporting Trump makes them more likely to back him, while a nearly equal share (9%) are now less likely to support Trump.
It’s a pork chop on a stick and a vanilla shake for Tim Walz at the Minnesota State Fair
Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz munched on a pork chop on a stick and washed it down with a vanilla shake Sunday as the Minnesota governor and his family visited his home state fair.
Flanked by his wife, Gwen, and their daughter, Hope, and with a security detail trailing behind, Walz eyed rows of food vendors offering all manner of fair delicacies, many served on a stick.
“For those not from Minnesota, just to be clear, there’s a lot of great state fairs in the country, this is the best one,” Walz said. “I can say that having tried pork chops in Iowa.”
Lindsey Graham brands Harris a ‘wrecking ball’ on Israel
Graham appeared on ABC’s This Week on Sunday and opened up a line of attack against Harris’s foreign policy credentials – something that the Trump campaign has been trying to get off the ground this past week as it pushes back on criticism over a controversial visit to Arlington National Cemetery and a host of issues related to his running mate JD Vance.
“I would say on foreign policy, she [Harris] has been a wrecking ball,” Graham said on Sunday.
Trump posts video messages from Gold Star family members amid Arlington visit controversy
The war of words over Donald Trump’s visit to Arlington National Cemetery continued over the weekend with his campaign issuing a statement and sharing videos from the Gold Star military families that the former president had joined at the memorial on Monday, when they marked three years since 13 service members were killed during the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Some family members also recorded video messages that the former president posted on Truth Social, saying Trump was honoring their loved ones when he came to Arlington.
