Donald Trump allegedly called Kamala Harris a ‘b****’ as she surges in polls: Live
Donald Trump has doubled down on questioning Kamala Harris’s race — which has sparked outrage — saying “I think I was right” while also calling her a “b****” in private, according to reporting by The New York Times.
The former president is said to be “angry” as the vice president surges in the polls, both nationally and in key battleground states that will likely decide the election.
Harris has surged to a five-point lead over Trump in a new Reuters/Ipsos poll, putting her at 42% to the Republican’s 37% nationally with less than three months to go to November’s presidential election.
In a New York Times/Siena College poll Harris is leading Trump by four points in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
At a rally on Friday night, Harris told pro-Palestine protesters in Arizona that “now is the time” to get a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas and free the hostages, adding that she and President Joe Biden have been “working around the clock” with that aim.
Trump spoke at a rally in Bozeman, Montana, arriving late after his plane was diverted because of a mechanical issue. He falsely claimed Harris would not debate him, before admitting they would do so on September 10.

Jack Smith seeks delay in Trump’s election interference case
Smith’s office indicted Trump in August 2023 over his allegedly “criminal scheme” to overturn President Joe Biden’s victory by installing slates of “fake electors” in states he lost, ordering the Justice Department to conduct “sham election crime investigations” and pressuring then-vice president Mike Pence to “alter the election results,” then failing to stop a mob that sought to do it by force.

Trump campaign says it was hacked and had documents stolen
Citing a Microsoft report published on Friday that Iranian hackers “sent a spear phishing email in June to a high-ranking official on a presidential campaign”, the campaign blamed “foreign sources hostile to the United States.”
In the report, Microsoft did not identify the campaign targeted by the email and declined to comment when approached by Politico.

For these voters, Tim Walz is a reminder of their dad – before they were lost to partisan division
He’s got jokes, enthusiasm and a smiley face that’s not even remotely trying to hide how he’s feeling. He’s Tim Walz – and he’s bringing major Midwestern dad energy to the Democratic ticket.
It’s in stark contrast to what some see in their own fathers – who often have more conservative political views.

Celine Dion team rebukes Trump campaign and mocks us of ‘THAT song’
Celine Dion’s management team has rebuked the Trump campaign for the unauthorized use of the song and video of “My Heart Will Go On”, the theme to the movie Titanic at the former president’s rally in Montana last night.
Today, Celine Dion’s management team and her record label, Sony Music Entertainment Canada Inc., became aware of the unauthorized usage of the video, recording, musical performance, and likeness of Celine Dion singing “My Heart Will Go On” at a Donald Trump / JD Vance campaign rally in Montana.
In no way is this use authorized, and Celine Dion does not endorse this or any similar use.
And in an amusing jab at the campaign, currently seen by many as having hit its own iceberg, the statement concludes: “…And really, THAT song?”

Iran is using fake news sites to influence 2024 election
Among those fake news websites is a left-leaning one called Nio Thinker, launched in October 2023, that appealed to potential liberal voters by concentrating on the Israel-Hamas war and mocking former president Donald Trump.
A right-leaning one called Savannah Time has published content associated with conservative hot-button issues like gender-reassignment surgery and other LGBT+ issues, the report says.
