Vice President Harris is entering Labor Day weekend with a national polling lead over former President Trump in the race for the White House, but the race still seems up for grabs. Harris leads Trump by about 4 points in the national average from Decision Desk HQ (DDHQ)/The Hill. She is at least neck and neck with Trump, if not ahead, in the seven battlegrounds likely to decide the race. |

Former President Trump is seeking to shift the conversation about fertility treatment with a promise that his administration would fund in vitro fertilization treatments (IVF), an expensive proposal that goes beyond even most Democratic positions on the issue. Trump told NBC News this week, "We are going to be — under the Trump administration, we are going to be paying for that treatment." |

Former President Trump said Friday he will vote against an upcoming ballot measure in Florida that would bar future state legislation limiting abortion access and overturn the state's current abortion ban. Trump, who has insisted that the state's current law banning the procedure after six weeks of pregnancy is too strict, told Fox News's Bryan Llenas he would vote no on the measure despite those concerns. |

Former President Trump criticized Vice President Harris Friday after her recent interview with CNN, calling her "defective." "I think she would've been better off if she just did interviews, even if they weren't great it woulda been better … because now everyone's watching and now we see, she's defective," Trump said Friday at the annual gathering of Moms for Liberty, a conservative nonprofit. "She's a defective person." |

Former President Trump defended his earlier conduct at Arlington National Cemetery while at a campaign stop in Pennsylvania Friday, saying he was not just trying to get publicity for his appearance marking the anniversary of the 2021 Kabul airport attack that killed 13 U.S. service members. Trump, at the event in Johnstown, Pa., said the family members of those killed during the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan asked him to visit the cemetery as they honored their loved ones. He added that after the wreath-laying ceremony, the families also asked him to accompany them to the graves and take a picture with them. |

The latest request by former President Trump's legal team to have his hush money case taken over by a federal court was rejected Friday, according to a notice on the docket. The court, in its notice, claimed the filing was "deficient," according to the docket. It has been sent back to the attorneys because they failed to attach written permission from the court or prosecutors, per the note to his attorney Emil Bove. |

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., who has become an outspoken ally of former President Trump in recent days, said in an interview Friday that he believes the former president has "changed as a person." "If President Trump wins … people are going to see a very different President Trump than they did in the first term," Kennedy told "All In" podcast host Jason Calacanis. "I think he's changed as a person. And I've known him for, you know, 30 years." |

Russian President Vladimir Putin is working to manage the fallout at home and abroad from Ukraine's audacious counteroffensive into the Kursk region, downplaying the significance of the incursion while buying time to mount a response. More than three weeks have passed since Ukraine broke through Russia's defenses and seized about 450 square miles of territory. And while a senior U.S. intelligence official said it's "certain" that Russia would launch a counteroffensive in Kursk, analysts say Putin is taking his time. |

Vice President Harris's past stance on fracking has garnered significant attention since she became the Democratic nominee for president. Fracking, short for hydraulic fracturing, is an oil and gas extraction technique that involves injecting rocks with a mix of water, sand and chemicals. But why is it a big deal? Here are five things to know. |

The countdown for universities to develop plans on how to deal with protests on campus has ended as students move back to campus after disputes over pro-Palestinian encampments caused chaos at the end of last academic year. Numerous lawsuits are making their way through the legal system and Columbia University's president recently resigned after a tumultuous ending to classes in May that led to more than 2,000 arrested on campus. |

OPINION | It's a safe bet who North Korea's Kim Jong-un will be "rooting" for in the U.S. elections on Nov. 5. Alone among the "bad guys" Vice President Harris might have chosen to skewer at the Democratic convention, she singled out Kim. "I will not cozy up to tyrants and dictators like Kim Jong-un, who are rooting for [former President] Trump," she said. "They know he is easy to manipulate with flattery and favors." |
OPINION | Recent polling consistently shows that two issues are at the forefront of voters' minds as the 2024 election approaches: the economy and immigration. But Democrats appear hesitant to engage the issue of immigration, either avoiding the topic altogether or, as seen at the Democratic National Convention, simply playing defense against Republican attacks or even shifting their stance to the right. |

Donald Trump knew that JD Vance could take a punch. But during their first week together on the campaign trail, the former president wondered just how many hits his new running mate could absorb. The volume and velocity of attacks from Democrats stunned even Trump. He was unaware of the most incendiary remarks that opponents were rapidly unearthing from Vance's past, and the former president told allies that he was troubled by the idea that more comments would come to light as Democrats savaged his heir apparent as weird and anti-women. |

For Kamala Harris, it is Pennsylvania. For Donald Trump, it is Georgia. Each campaign has a state that is arguably "must-win" in its path to 270 electoral votes, which explains why both nominees are expending so much time, energy and money in those two places—to secure their own prize and block the other. Harris will spend part of the Labor Day holiday in Pittsburgh alongside President Biden, after a postconvention bus tour Wednesday and Thursday that took her through rural Georgia. Trump, meanwhile, has been traveling across the so-called "blue wall" states, including the biggest battleground prize of Pennsylvania. |
At first glance, there's little that a 78-year-old former president and a 23-year-old internet personality might have in common. Donald Trump admitted in a recent appearance on Adin Ross' show that he only "more or less" understood livestreaming, the publishing of live video on social media. But he told Ross he appreciated that the show was part of "the new wave" of information — and he credited his youngest son, 18-year-old Barron, for helping educate him. |
Last week, Donald Trump touted Taylor Swift's endorsement of his presidential campaign — except that the pop superstar had done no such thing, and the images Trump had reposted on Truth Social were generated by AI. Still, real celebrity presidential endorsements have rarely been more prominent than in recent weeks. Some of the buzziest moments at both the Democratic and Republican national conventions came from celebrities. At the Democratic convention, rapper Lil Jon performed a version of his song "Get Low" that namechecked Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. Meanwhile, at the Republican convention, wrestler Hulk Hogan ripped apart his shirt during his speech to reveal a Trump-Vance T-shirt underneath. How did we get here? |
