JD Vance pitches himself as Trump’s political heir on day two of Republican midterm convention

Vice-president dog-whistled, exaggerated claims of success and echoed Trump talking points to excited audience… 

Addressing Democratic “radicals”, whom he accused of wanting to destroy the nuclear American family, he boomed: “Stay the hell away from our kids.” 

But it was also a speech aimed squarely at rallying the Maga faithful: attacking transgender rights, extolling the importance of American manufacturing and religious freedom, and accusing Democrats of “doubling down on the crazy”. 

 Vance showed a penchant, too, for Trump’s baseless statements, claiming that some Democrats in New York “cheered on” the slaughter of Jewish people on 7 October, and suggesting that a “new generation” of Democrats seek to defund the police and “abolish the border”. 

“What is it that drives this new generation of radical Democrats? It’s not new policies. They’ll say the same stuff: defund the police, abolish the border, the green new scam. We’ve heard all this stuff before,” Vance said. He then tried out a new line: “I think that what’s new about them is what motivates them is a new type of hardcore hatred.”…

Ro Khanna on a 2028 presidential run and taking on tech billionaires : NPR's Newsmakers : NPR

Khanna said Democrats need to nominate a progressive who will usher in "America's next New Deal" as the country's technological revolution enriches a select few and risks destabilizing the country's labor force. 

"These folks would have been the conquerors in a different era. They kind of think of themselves as above you and I," Khanna said of tech billionaires Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg and Peter Thiel. "And when I'm actually most inclined to run, I think, 'I know these people.' I understand the economic future, and I will have the guts to stand up to them."…

Harris gives her clearest signal she is mounting a 2028 presidential bid - POLITICO

Later, the cheers for Harris grew to such a tenor, Sharpton jokingly admonished the crowd: “This is a convention, not a revival.” 

Harris repeatedly attacked President Donald Trump — on Iran, foreign policy and voting rights, among other topics — throughout her conversation with Sharpton. But she also nodded to the influence Trump and the GOP had on certain voters of color in 2024, when a significant number of Black and Latino men decided to move away from the Democratic Party. Democrats, she said, shouldn’t expect support because of longstanding relationships…
