DOJ Supports Congressman's Supreme Court Challenge to Late Counting of Ballots
The Department of Justice (DOJ) filed a friend-of-the-court brief on July 29 in support of a GOP congressman's challenge to an Illinois law that allows ballots received 14 days after Election Day to be counted. Eighteen states, including Illinois, accept mailed ballots received after Election Day if they bear a postmark from or before Election Day, according to a National Conference of State Legislatures report. The District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands also follow the same rule.

Kamala Harris says she's not running for California governor
Former Vice President Kamala Harris announced Wednesday that she will not run for governor of California in 2026, putting an end to speculation that she would seek her state's top executive role after her loss to President Trump in November. 'In recent months, I have given serious thought to asking the people of California for the privilege to serve as their Governor. I love this state, its people, and its promise. It is my home. But after deep reflection, I've decided that I will not run for Governor in this election,' Harris said in a statement. The former vice president said she spent time reflecting over the past six months since losing the election, after taking over the Democratic ticket when former President Biden dropped out of the race. 'I have extraordinary admiration and respect for those who dedicate their lives to public service—service to their communities and to our nation. At the same time, we must recognize that our politics, our government, and our institutions have too often failed the American people, culminating in this moment of crisis,' Harris said. 'As we look ahead, we must be willing to pursue change through new methods and fresh thinking—committed to our same values and principles, but not bound by the same playbook.' Harris was considering all her options before making her decision official and has made it clear she is not done with public service. She said Wednesday she will get more active in helping Democrats this cycle. 'For now, my leadership—and public service—will not be in elected office. I look forward to getting back out and listening to the American people, helping elect Democrats across the nation who will fight fearlessly, and sharing more details in the months ahead about my own plans,' Harris said in the statement. Her decision is sure to fuel further speculation that she's planning to mount another bid for the White House in 2028. Former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and former California Attorney General Xavier Becerra, Biden's secretary of Health and Human Services, are among the Democrats running so far to replace Gov. Gavin Newsom (D), who is term limited. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.

Harris releasing book on presidential run: ‘107 Days'
Former Vice President Kamala Harris is set to release a memoir in September detailing her truncated, unsuccessful 2024 presidential campaign, she announced Thursday. Harris and Simon & Schuster announced the book, titled '107 Days,' will offer insights into the former vice president's losing campaign against President Trump. 'Just over a year ago, I launched my campaign for President of the United States,' Harris said in a video announcement of the book Thursday. 'One hundred and seven days traveling the country, fighting for our future — the shortest presidential campaign in modern history. 'Since leaving office, I've spent a lot of time reflecting on those days and with candor and reflection, I've written a behind-the-scenes account of that journey,' she added. 'I believe there's value in sharing what I saw, what I learned, and what it will take to move forward.' Harris launched her presidential campaign in late July 2024, days after then-President Biden announced he would no longer seek a second term amid intense Democratic scrutiny of his mental acuity and ability to win the election. The then-vice president rejuvenated the Democratic base and donors, but she ultimately lost to Trump by a decisive margin. The book announcement comes one day after Harris announced she would not run for California governor in 2026, leaving open the question of when or if she will seek elected office in the future. She said Wednesday she will get more active in helping Democrats this election cycle. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
