At a rally in North Carolina, Donald Trump falsely claimed that Vice President Kamala Harris met with Vladimir Putin just days before the Russian invasion of Ukraine, a statement that has been debunked. Trump continued to make this assertion during an interview on Fox News, despite lack of evidence and clarification from Fox hosts that Harris did not meet with Putin. Meanwhile, CNN commentators discussed the Democratic National Convention, highlighting the need for Harris to define her presidential vision, with mixed opinions on her effectiveness. Former Trump communications director Bryan Lanza criticized Harris for ambiguous policy positions, while former Senator Heidi Heitkamp defended her agenda focusing on issues like childcare and affordable education. As the convention unfolds, Trump continues to campaign aggressively, defending his personal attacks against Harris and asserting he would release his medical records amidst ongoing scrutiny of his health.
