During a contentious interview at the National Association of Black Journalists conference, Donald Trump falsely accused Vice President Kamala Harris of previously promoting only her Indian heritage, prompting her to call for mobilization against him. Meanwhile, Trump is facing backlash for his running mate, Ohio Senator JD Vance, whose controversial past comments have made his introduction to the public tumultuous. Trump's defense of Vance, who suggested childless women like Harris aim to make the country miserable, has not quelled criticism from within the GOP, with some party members recommending Vance apologize. Additionally, Vance's endorsement of the Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 complicates Trump's distancing from the initiative, which he recently disavowed. Polls indicate that most Democrats would support Harris as the presidential nominee, and she is increasingly framing Trump and Vance as 'weird' in their rhetoric. As the election approaches, the dynamics among these figures continue to evolve amidst rising tensions and public scrutiny.
