Kamala Harris delivered a presidential-style address on the death of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar saying that now comes a moment “to finally end the war in Gaza”.
The vice president spoke during a campaign stop at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee as she continues to focus on the swing states, skipping Thursday’s Al Smith dinner for Catholic charities, at which presidential candidates usually make humorous remarks. Donald Trump will attend the event in New York, while a pre-recorded video of Harris will be played.
Trump has again lashed out at CBS flagship news show 60 Minutes over standard edits it made to an interview with Harris. The former president baselessly claims the conduct was criminal and wants the network’s license revoked.
The Harris campaign mocked Trump’s refusal to debate the vice president again and his ducking of interviews and appearances. On Thursday the National Rifle Association announced it has canceled a “Defend the 2nd” event due to “campaign scheduling changes”.
Meanwhile, Trump has reacted in gloating fashion to rival Harris’s tense interview with Fox News’s Bret Baier, in which the Democrat clashed with the host on illegal immigration, Joe Biden, and the threat posed by Trump himself.

“He had American blood on his hands,” Vice President Kamala Harris said of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, the mastermind of the October 7 attacks who was confirmed killed today in Gaza.
Any terrorist who kills Americans or threatens them, “we will always bring you to justice,” she added in a presidential-style televised statement during a campaign stop in Milwaukee.
The vice president said the death of Sinwar “gives us an opportunity to finally end the war in Gaza”.
During her visit to the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, the vice president also stopped by a business class, alongside business leader Mark Cuban, where she greeted students and discussed entrepreneurship and economic policy.

In a statement on X, the NRA said there were “campaign scheduling changes”.
The gun rights group said it is “committed to ensuring Donald Trump wins in November and returns to the White House”.
The Harris campaign’s latest line of attack against the former president is that he keeps dropping out of events.

Democratic PAC mocks Virginia GOP candidate with ‘fake family’

Well. House Majority PAC has produced a TV ad mocking him about that while framing him as an “extreme MAGA politician”.

Al Smith Dinner to play recorded message from Harris in lieu of attendance
NBC News reports that the organizers of the Al Smith charity dinner will play a recorded message from Vice President Kamala Harris tonight in lieu of her attendance at the event for Catholic charities, according to Joseph Zwilling, director of communications for the archdiocese of New York.
The Harris campaign said she declined the invitation to the dinner due to conflicting events in the final weeks of the campaign. It is the first time a candidate has not attended in 40 years.
Donald Trump, who is attending and will give remarks, criticized the decision, saying it was “sad but not surprising”.
