Paulette Aniskoffsenior advisor for Kamala Harris in Pennsylvania and a former Obama adviser, told NBC News that she sees “similarities” between the current Democratic presidential candidate and the former president Barack Obama.

“The puzzle is making sure we get enough votes everywhere, including the red counties,” Aniskoff said. “We can’t just run up the score in Philadelphia. That’s the old style of organizing – just go to the cities and mobilize.”

Aniskoff said her current and former bosses share a philosophy of “showing up everywhere” and listening to voters, even in not-so-friendly sectors.

The Guardian’s Lloyd Green reviews Melania Trump’s new 180-page memoir, which he describes as an “exercise in passing and dodging blame.”

In her new book, the former First Lady of the US “accuses staffers of plagiarizing Michelle Obama; repeatedly emphasizes her love for her husband, even though she claims to detest lying liars; and declares abortion a fundamental right without considering the role Donald Trump played in attacking it via the U.S. Supreme Court.”

Vance defends Trump’s lies that Venezuelan gangs invaded Aurora, Colorado

Donald Trump has described an apartment complex in Aurora as a “war zone” overrun by Venezuelan gangs seeking to take over the city of about 400,000 residents. He repeated the claim at a rally on Friday. Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman said Trump’s claims were “vastly exaggerated” and that the problems were limited to a handful of apartment complexes and did not affect the entire city.

“Well… the mayor said they were exaggerated. That means there has to be an element of truth here,” JD Vance, the Republican vice presidential candidate, said during an interview on ABC’s This Week.

“Unfortunately, you’re going to have problems like this when you let in people in the millions, most of whom are unvetted and most of whom you don’t know who they really are,” Vance added.

He also tried to argue that there was no significant difference between an entire city and a handful of apartment complexes before This Week host Martha Raddatz ended the interview and said, “Okay. … Let’s just end this by saying they didn’t invade or take over the city like Donald Trump said.”

Watch: JD Vance continues to lie and create an alternate reality of Trump and MAGA about Aroura, Colorado when Martha Raddatz confronts her with the facts. JD Vance becomes cocky and stubborn when he thinks he has found a pun trap to use to push back on Raddatz. pic.twitter.com/XGZsKU0Fm8

Governor of Michigan Gretchen Whitmer has apologized for passing a Doritos chip to a social media influencer who fell to her knees after Roman Catholic organizations accused the Democratic politician of insulting her religion by mocking the sacrament of Communion .

“I would never do anything to denigrate anyone’s faith,” Whitmer said in a statement her office provided to Michigan television news station WJBK on Friday.

She explained that the stunt in question was captured on a video with the popular TikTok content creator Liz Plank – was intended to promote legislation signed by Joe Biden in 2022, known colloquially as the Chips Act, which provided $280 billion for semiconductor research and manufacturing. But it was all “construed as something it was never intended to be, and I apologize for that,” Whitmer said.

In the video, Plank kneels in front of Whitmer, who then puts a Doritos chip in the podcaster and influencer’s mouth. The governor rounds out the scene by looking at the camera while wearing a hat and supporting fellow Democrat Kamala Harris and Vice President Tim Walz in the November presidential election.

The Michigan Catholic Conference — which has clashed with Whitmer over her support of abortion rights — joined other church groups in condemning Whitmer’s video with Plank.
