Kamala Harris is viewed as more intelligent than Donald Trump by American voters, with the right temperament needed to be an effective president, according to the latest New York Times/Siena poll. But despite the VP’s positive traits, people are still much more likely to see Trump as a strong leader (60 per cent, to Harris’ 47 per cent).With one a former president and three-time presidential candidate, and the other an incumbent VP but first-time (likely) candidate, the question of leadership is front-and-center.

Born in Brooklyn, New York to a single mother — Congressman Byron Donalds (R-FL) was always taught to research everything for himself instead of following the crowd. The advice would ultimately lead him to leave the Democratic Party shortly after the financial collapse in 2008 and run for Congress as a Republican.   With such an interesting political perspective, Rep. Donalds discusses how he feels about all the historic moments that have happened over the last few weeks — from Vice President Kamala Harris becoming the new presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, to former President Donald Trump choosing Senator JD Vance (R-OH) to be his running mate. He shares how he believes these things change the race and why he remains confident that the Republican ticket will be successful in November.   Follow Martha on X: @MarthaMacCallum

Project 2025 , a “presidential transition project” of the Heritage Foundation, helpfully lays out how a group of former Trump officials would like to transform the country into a right-wing dystopia where the rich thrive and the rest of us die aspiring to be rich.

Rep. Jim McGovern (D-MA) went on a tirade against a resolution that would fine and potentially jail Attorney General Merrick Garland. House Republicans issued a subpoena to Garland seeking the audio from a deposition that President Joe Biden sat for with Special Counsel Robert Hur. Hur investigated Biden over his retention of classified documents from his time as a senator and vice president. Ultimately, the special counsel declined to prosecute in part because he said a jury could view Biden as a sympathetic “elderly man with a poor memory.”
