Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio), the Republican vice-presidential nominee, said he's "thrilled" to have the support of "Kennedy Democrats" after former independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. ended his campaign and backed former President Trump's White House bid on Friday.
Vance said he has no hesitation about accepting Kennedy's endorsement, despite some controversial statements Kennedy has made in the past including suggesting vaccines could cause autism and saying he "won't take sides" on what happened on Sept. 11, 2001.
"No, Kristen, I don't," Vance told NBC News's Kristen Welker, in an interview on "Meet the Press." |

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said there was "no commitments" that he would be offered a position within a Trump administration in exchange for his endorsement of former president Trump and suspension of some parts of his presidential campaign.
When Fox News Sunday anchor Shannon Bream asked if Kennedy and Trump negotiated or discussed a cabinet position or another role within a Trump government, the independent presidential candidate said, "There's been no commitments. But, you know, I met with President Trump, with family, with his closest advisers, and we just made a general commitment that we are going to work together."

Colorado Gov. Jared Polis (D) pushed back on criticism that Vice President Harris has changed her stance on several policy issues and is not doing enough interviews to explain the changes, arguing that she will be a president "for all the American people."
"The truth of the matter is, yes, she's come to the middle. She's pragmatic, she's a tough leader, she's the leader we need for the future," Polis said on "Fox News Sunday." "So again, while she may have in the past, ran on things, just as President Trump ran on single payer — supported single payer health care years ago and has moved away from that — Kamala Harris did support things that she's now moderated." |

| Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) pushed back against Sen. JD Vance's (R-Ohio) suggestion that former President Trump would veto a federal abortion ban, if he's elected president and such a bill arrived on his desk.
"American women are not stupid, and we are not going to trust the futures of our daughters and granddaughters to two men who have openly bragged about blocking access to abortion for women all across this country," Warren said in an interview on NBC News's "Meet the Press," when asked about Vance, the GOP vice-presidential nominee, saying he thinks Trump would veto a ban. |

| Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) doubled down on his support for Vice President Harris, stating he will "do everything" he can to help her win in November.
"I think the vice president now has a very good chance to win it. She's certainly going to win the popular vote by millions of votes, and I think she has a great chance to win many of the battleground states. And I intend to do everything that I can to see that she wins," Sanders said on ABC News's "This Week." |

| Israeli Ambassador to the U.S. Michael Herzog said the U.S.'s "very strong" posture in the Middle East has prompted Iran to hold off on a retaliatory attack against Israel as threats of an all-out war loom over the region.
"I think the Iranians are contemplating an attack on Israel, but decided for now to put it on hold," Herzog said on CBS News's "Face the Nation. "And I think the main reason for that was, deter messages from Israel and the U.S., and a very strong U.S. posture in the region, which tells you that you can deter them." |
