#Trump: “She wants to take away your guns.”
False.
MVP #KamalaHarris, in 2019, said she supports a gun buyback program for #AssaultWeapons, not all #guns. Her campaign recently said that she no longer supports a buyback program.
Her running mate, Gov #TimWalz, is a gun owner & a hunter.
When #Walz signed 2023 MN gun law he said, "This is NOT about the #SecondAmendment, This is about the #safety & #security of our communities. That's what's happening here today."
#Trump: “The vast majority of the country does support me.”
False.
Trump NEVER won a majority of the popular vote in either of the elections he ran in & NEVER had the approval of a majority of Americans in a single day of Gallup polling during his presidency.
An average of polls by FiveThirtyEight.com shows that currently he is viewed favorably by just 43% of American respondents today & has about the same level of support in a matchup against MVP #KamalaHarris.
#Trump: “They’re going to destroy Social Security.”
False.
Pres #Biden & MVP #KamalaHarris have pledged not to make ANY cuts to America’s #social safety net programs.
Trump on the other hand suggested this year that he was open to scaling back the programs. He said, “there’s a lot you can do in terms of entitlements in terms of cutting”
He later tried to walk back those comments.
It has LONG been a goal of the GOP to get rid of social security.

How Biden Got Republicans To Run Away From Their History of Pushing Social Security and Medicare Cuts

#Harris leads #Trump by 5 points in Ipsos poll
Democrat #KamalaHarris leads Republican Donald Trump 42% to 37% in the race for the Nov 5 US presidential #election, according to an Ipsos poll published on Thurs.
The poll found Harris had widened her lead since a July 22-23 Reuters/Ipsos survey, which found her up 37% to 34% over Trump.
The nationwide poll conducted Aug 2-7, found 4% of those surveyed backed independent candidate RFKJr, down from 10% in July.

#Trump repeated his claim that MVP #KamalaHarris acted as a #BorderCzar during the Biden admin & that “essentially, she never went to the border” during her time as VP.
2X FALSE
1. Harris did go to the border as VP, in Texas in mid-2021; many Republicans had criticized Harris prior to the visit for not having gone, & some later argued that she didn’t go frequently enough, but the recurring claim that she “never went” has not been true for >3 yrs.
#Media “#news” outlets need to cut their cameras.
This isn’t news.
Now #Trump is bitching about his various #criminal cases.
BTWs, #FactCheck: #KamalaHarris did in fact pass her “law exam.” Though. I’m not even sure what he’s talking about here. There are hundreds of exams in #law school. If he means the Bar exam, he’s wrong about that too, she passed on her 2nd attempt. Tons of lawyers need to try SEVERAL times. I can’t imagine how many times it took Trump’s #lawyers.
#Trump announced plans to hold a news conference Thurs afternoon. I expect a shock value attention grab display, after the sustained enthusiasm for #KamalaHarris & #joy surrounding the #HarrisWalz ticket. New polls showing her climbing. A new survey shows Harris w/a lead over Trump nationally.

In the face of new Democratic momentum, [#crybaby] #Trump has grown increasingly upset about #KamalaHarris’s surging poll numbers & #media coverage since replacing #Biden on the ticket, complaining relentlessly & asking friends about how his campaign is performing, acc/to 5 people close to the campaign….
“It’s unfair that I beat him & now I have to beat her, too,” Trump told an ally in a phone call last weekend. [um, you never “beat” Biden, dummy.]

The GOP nominee has grown increasingly angry about Kamala Harris’s surging poll numbers and media coverage since replacing Joe Biden on the ticket.Josh Dawsey (The Washington Post)
So far #Trump’s “press event” is him using the cameras to deliver a nationally broadcast stump speech.
Unsurprisingly, he’s spouting #lies. Bunch of #isolationist, #nationalist, #racist crap.
Also completely fabricating an impending 1929 #economy.
Saying #KamalaHarris is “100% the border czar” - false.
Claiming he prefers running against #Harris to Biden.
All backwards looking “blah blah blah wouldn’t have happened” & “blah blah blah wouldn’t have happened” if he was president.
“Publicly, Trump and his allies have tried vigorously to cast Harris as an out-of-touch liberal. They say it matters little whether they are facing Biden or #Harris. Internally, nine sources told Reuters they see Harris as a far tougher opponent than Biden.”
#Trump predicted he will wind up debating MVP #KamalaHarris, & suggested that campaign & FoxNews network ofcls are negotiating details.
"We'll be debating her, I guess, in the pretty near future," Trump said during a ½ hour interview on #FauxNews that focused mostly on #Harris. "It's going to be announced fairly soon, but we'll be debating her." [literally thinks he’s a king using “the royal we”]

MVP #KamalaHarris is expected to deliver a speech that will highlight the shared experiences of her & her running mate — “2 middle-class kids … & a hope of #unity for Americans,” per excerpts of prepared remarks.

Thanks.
Ok, the Philly Mayor was OK, but everyone else, including Walz, alas, yawn.
This is the most exciting and crucial time in US #politics, maye since rhe Civil Rights legislation.
And all I hear is the same old, same old.
I hope #Veep #KamalaHarris will be more inspiring.
Awesome! My biggest discovery during that call was #Walz, so I was thrilled to wake up to news that he was the pick.

Tim Walz Brings the Democratic Ticket Back to the Party’s Roots | The Nation
Vice President Harris’s running mate is a heartland governor who has championed Minnesota’s working class. It’s a departure from the party’s long slide toward Beltway elitism.The Nation
Vice President #KamalaHarris has told allies that he she has chosen #Minnesota Gov. #TimWalz to be her running mate, opting for a former high school #teacher & Midwestern Democrat to complete a newly assembled presidential ticket following, according to 2 people familiar with the pick, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a decision that is not yet public.
In picking #Minnesota Gov. #TimWalz, MVP #KamalaHarris has selected an experienced politician w/executive governing experience & signaled the importance of Midwestern battleground states such as Wisconsin & Michigan.
#Walz is scheduled to appear w/ #Harris in coming days in each of the 7 most competitive states — #Pennsylvania, #Wisconsin, #Michigan, #NorthCarolina, #Georgia, #Arizona & #Nevada.
From MVP #KamalaHarris’s IG:
“I am proud to announce that l've asked #TimWalz to be my running mate.
“One of the things that stood out to me about Tim is how his convictions on fighting for middle class families run deep. It's personal.
“He grew up in a small town in Nebraska, spending summers working on his family's farm. His father died of cancer when he was 19, & his family relied on SocialSecurity survivor benefit checks to make ends meet. At 17, he enlisted in the National Guard….

Asked in a July 28 interview with CNN if such policies would be fodder for conservative attacks, Walz responded sarcastically: “What a monster. Kids are eating and having full bellies, so they can go learn, and women are making their own health-care decisions.”

Walz would win reelection to his seat five more times before leaving the #House to run for #governor. In the 2018 gubernatorial race, Walz defeated his Republican opponent by more than 10 percentage points."

"Walz’s foray into politics came later in life: Born and raised in West Point, Neb., a small rural town, after high school he enlisted in the #Army National Guard, where he would serve for the next 24 years. After losing his father to lung #cancer at age 19 — which he would later say shaped his views on #HealthCare — #Walz enrolled in Chadron State College in #Nebraska and graduated with a #teaching degree in 1989."

"Enter Harris, 59, who instantly flipped the age issue against Trump. His often-disjointed screeds suddenly felt like the ravings of a grumpy old man, not entertaining breaks from politician-speak. Trump had always fed on the energy of his crowds. “Low energy” is a favorite Trump epithet against his foes. Now Harris has the energy, and her audiences seem positively rapturous."

“'If Mr. Trump had looked up from his teleprompter at any point during the second half of his 90-minute speech, he would have seen his own supporters slipping out of their bright blue seats, headed for the exits,' The New York Times reported today. 'Slowly but surely, across every stand and in every section, they streamed out. Stage left, a man in a star-spangled cowboy hat sidled down his row at the halfway mark.'"
