Humiliating Kamala Harris flub on The View that forced aides to beg hosts for a second chance
Kamala Harris aides were forced to beg producers at The View for a second chance after she froze when asked what she would do differently than Joe Biden. The high-stakes blunder unfolded during what was supposed to be a softball interview on the ABC talk show, just weeks before the 2024 election. Asked what she would have done differently from President Biden during their administration, Harris fumbled her response. 'There is not a thing that comes to mind. I've been a part of most of the decisions that have had impact,' she said. The moment has been cited in multiple books analyzing the Democrats ' collapse and triggered immediate chaos backstage. In a second new account, the book 2024: How Trump Retook the White House and the Democrats Lost America by Josh Dawsey, Isaac Arnsdorf, and Tyler Pager, reveals Harris's team went into damage control mode the moment the words left her mouth. According to the book, Cutter immediately approached co-hosts Whoopi Goldberg and Ana Navarro during a commercial break, pleading with them to re-ask the question in hopes Harris could deliver the answer they had actually prepared. 'She didn't want to differentiate herself from Biden,' Dawsey explained on MSNBC's Morning Joe. 'She thinks it won't be authentic, she believes that it wouldn't work. 'What the hell was that?' longtime Democratic strategist Cutter is said to have asked Harris. 'That's not what we practiced.' In a second new account, author Josh Dawsey reveals Harris's team went into damage control mode the moment the words left her mouth Cutter urged the hosts to re-ask the question so Harris could give the answer she'd rehearsed, but the segment moved on. Backstage, another campaign official, Rob Flaherty, reportedly put his head in his hands and swore. One adviser later described the viral soundbite as 'the defining error of the campaign.' It reinforced voter doubts, gave Republicans a soundbite for attack ads, and erased Harris's chance to distinguish herself from the deeply unpopular president she had served under for four years. Then-Vice President Harris had ascended to the top of the ticket following Biden's post-debate collapse and was seated comfortably alongside the friendly hosts with Whoopi Goldberg introducing her as 'the next president of the United States.' With Biden polling historically low and Republicans hammering Democrats on inflation, immigration, and global instability, the campaign had carefully prepped Harris to offer a contrast, to carve out daylight between her vision and Biden's legacy. Even Sunny Hostin, who asked the now-infamous question, has since expressed deep regret - not for asking it, but for how it spiraled. 'I knew it instantly when she answered it,' Hostin told producer Brian Teta on The View's Behind the Table podcast. 'Which is why I asked the follow-up question - "is there one thing?" - because I knew, I could see the soundbite and I knew what was going to happen.' She added: 'I thought it was a really fair question, and I thought it was a question that she would expect. I feel terrible that I took down the Democratic Party.' The View appearance was Harris' first major televised sit-down as the nominee and was supposed to showcase her command, vision, and independence. Instead, it revealed the opposite: a candidate tethered too tightly to a deeply unpopular administration, unwilling, or unable to define herself on her own terms. At the time, Republicans were quick to seize on Harris' misstep. 'Kamala Harris is more of the same. She admits it herself,' then-Senator JD Vance posted on X. Her comments were made to the hosts of ABC's The View when she appeared on the show in October for a softball interview where she was fawned over Donald Trump, Jr. was even more forceful, as reported at the time. 'And just like that, Kamala's entire bull**** campaign about being a 'change agent' collapses. You can't call yourself a change agent when you not only agree with every single disaster Joe Biden is responsible for, but you brag about being involved in all those decisions!,' he wrote on X. As Democrats look to recollect themselves, Harris's misstep continues to loom large with books, podcasts, and pundits all returning to that fateful exchange.

Eric Adams accused of corruption by four former high-ranking NYPD officers
New York City mayor Eric Adams is being sued by four former high-ranking police officers who are accusing the embattled mayor of promoting corruption in the police department, the Associated press reports. In separate lawsuits filed on Monday, the former official described a culture of rampant corruption and cronyism inside one of the country's largest police forces. In his lawsuit, James Essig, the former chief of detectives and 40-year force veteran, claims that the former commissioner of the NYPD sold promotions to the tune of $15,000. Essig says he was forced to resign after objecting to the practice. Essig's suit adds that senior NYPD leadership often selected 'friends and cronies' of theirs and Adams's in hiring. 'They used the Police Department as their own little playground,' Essig told the New York Times. Each of the plaintiffs says that, with Adams's approval, they were either demoted or forced into retirement after raising concerns about the practices, according to their lawsuits. Sign up to Headlines US Get the most important US headlines and highlights emailed direct to you every morning after newsletter promotion They claim that the practice began in 2023 with Jeff Maddrey, the former police chief and an ally of Adams, allegedly bypassing standard hiring protocol to bring 'unqualified friends' into positions to positions in the city's public safety apparatus. The lawsuits come amid New York City's mayoral race. Adams is running for re-election as an independent candidate although he ran as a Democrat in 2021. He was indicted on federal corruption charges last year – charges which were later dropped in an apparent deal with the incoming Trump administration – and has emphasized fall crime numbers under his administration in his campaign. Adams is expected to face off against democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani, who saw a decisive victory over former governor Andrew Cuomo in the city's Democratic primary last month. A spokesperson for Adams told the Times that his administration would review the lawsuits.

Trump news at a glance: president complains about Putin's ‘bullshit'
Donald Trump has voiced his irritation with Vladimir Putin, telling a cabinet meeting he was getting increasingly frustrated with the Russian leader. The US president told the televised meeting of top officials: 'We get a lot of bullshit thrown at us by Putin, if you want to know the truth. He's very nice all the time, but it turns out to be meaningless.' Asked if he wanted to see further sanctions against Russia, Trump replied: 'I'm looking at it.' He refused to give further details but said any action would come as 'a little surprise'. Here's more on that and other key US politics stories of the day: As well as voicing his frustration with Putin, Trump promised to send 10 Patriot missiles to Ukraine, according to an official familiar with the matter. Trump had announced on Monday that US weapons deliveries would resume, just a few days after they were halted by the Pentagon. On Monday, the president said he was 'disappointed' with Russia's president and would send 'more weapons' to Ukraine. 'We're gonna send some more weapons we have to them. They have to be able to defend themselves. They're getting hit very hard now,' Trump said, alongside a US and Israeli delegation. Read the full story The United States only has about 25% of the Patriot missile interceptors it needs for all of the Pentagon's military plans after burning through stockpiles in the Middle East in recent months, an alarming depletion that led to the Trump administration freezing the latest transfer of munitions to Ukraine, according to sources in the government. Read the full story Trump vowed to further escalate his trade wars on Tuesday, threatening US tariffs of up to 200% on foreign drugs and 50% on copper, amid widespread confusion around his shifting plans. Hours after saying his latest deadline for a new wave of steep duties was 'not 100% firm', the US president declared that 'no extensions will be granted' beyond 1 August. 'There has been no change to this date, and there will be no change,' Trump wrote on social media, a day after signing an executive order that changed the date from 9 July. Read the full story The US supreme court has cleared the way for Trump's administration to resume plans for mass firings of federal workers that critics warn could threaten crucial government services. Extending a winning streak for the US president, the justices on Tuesday lifted a lower court order that had frozen sweeping federal layoffs known as 'reductions in force' while litigation in the case proceeds. The decision could result in hundreds of thousands of job losses at the departments of agriculture, commerce, health and human services, state, treasury, veterans affairs and other agencies. Read the full story A new study of defense department spending previewed exclusively to the Guardian shows that most of the Pentagon's discretionary spending from 2020 to 2024 has gone to outside military contractors, providing a $2.4tn boon in public funds to private firms in what was described as a 'continuing and massive transfer of wealth from taxpayers to fund war and weapons manufacturing'. The report, from the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft and Costs of War, said that the Trump administration's new Pentagon budget will push annual US military spending past the $1tn mark. Read the full story The deadly Texas floods could signal a new norm in the US, as Trump and his allies dismantle critical federal agencies that help states prepare and respond to extreme weather and other hazards, experts warn. Read the full story An unknown fraudster has used artificial intelligence to impersonate the US secretary of state, Marco Rubio, contacting at least five senior officials. According to a state department cable first seen by the Washington Post and confirmed by the Guardian, the impostor sent fake voice messages and texts that mimicked Rubio's voice and writing style to those targets, including three foreign ministers, a US governor and a member of Congress.
