New Trump ad paints Harris as face of 'Bidenomics'

Array ( [post_title] => New Trump ad paints Harris as face of 'Bidenomics' [post_content] =>

A new advertisement for former President Trump’s campaign tries to paint Vice President Harris as the face of “Bidenomics.”

The nearly minute-long ad, which Trump posted on his Truth Social account Friday, features clips of Harris mentioning “Bidenomics” and ends with text stating “HARRIS OWNS ‘BIDENOMICS’ SHE MADE IT HAPPEN.” 

“‘KAMALA HARRIS OWNS BIDENOMICS,’” Trump captioned the Truth Social post with the ad.

President Biden has used the “Bidenomics” slogan to shine a light on the efforts of his administration to turn the economy around.

“Here’s the simple truth about trickle-down economics, it didn’t represent the best of American capitalism, let alone America,” Biden said last June. “It represented a moment where we walked away … from how this country was built, how this city was built. Bidenomics is about the future.”

Harris became the likely presidential nominee for the Democratic Party after Biden dropped out of the presidential race last weekend. She quickly snapped up key endorsements from those in her party and large amounts in fundraising in the days after her boss dropped out. 

According to a national average of polls from The Hill/Decision Desk HQ, Harris is behind Trump by 2.1 points, at 45.7 percent support to the former president’s 45.8 percent. 

Harris revealed her first presidential campaign video Thursday titled “We Choose Freedom,” with Beyoncé’s song “Freedom” as background music.

“The freedom not just to get by, but to get ahead. The freedom to be safe from gun violence. The freedom to make decisions about your own body. We choose a future when no child lives in poverty, where we can all afford health care,” Harris says.

The Hill has reached out to the Harris campaign.

Bush earns backing from Michael Brown’s father, a decade after son’s death

Array ( [post_title] => Bush earns backing from Michael Brown’s father, a decade after son’s death [post_content] =>

Rep. Cori Bush (D-Mo.) on Friday unveiled an endorsement from the family of Michael Brown, the 18-year-old shot and killed by Ferguson, Mo., police in 2014. 

Bush is locked in a close primary race against St. Louis County Prosecutor Wesley Bell, who defeated a seven-term incumbent in 2018. During his campaign for county prosecutor, Bell vowed to get justice for the Brown family.

In an ad released Friday announcing the endorsement, Brown's family spoke about that promise. The ad opens with Mike Brown Sr. and his daughter standing side by side. 

“After the murder of my son, Wesley Bell promised to pursue justice for my family,” the elder Brown says. 

His daughter adds, “My brother deserved justice.”

Six years after Brown’s death, then-newly elected Bell declined to bring charges against Darren Wilson, the officer who shot the teenager. 

At the time, Bell said that although the case represented “one of the most significant moments in St. Louis’s history,” an independent review could not prove that Wilson committed murder or manslaughter under Missouri law.

“He never brought charges against the killer,” Mike Brown Sr. says in the ad. “He never walked the streets of Ferguson with me. He failed to reform the office.”

Bush has spoken often of her time as an activist leader in Ferguson after the fatal shooting and has said it, and the aftermath, prompted her to run for office.

The progressive “squad” member is facing a tough reelection bid. A poll released in June found Bell ahead of Bush by 1 point, and this week the St. Louis Post-Dispatch’s editorial board endorsed Bell in a scathing rebuke of Bush.

Still, in her latest ad, the Browns throw their full support behind Bush. 

Bell “used my family for power and now he’s trying to sell out St. Louis,” Brown’s father says. “He doesn’t care about us.”

Brown’s daughter chimes in, closing out the ad with a resounding, “Cori Bush does.”

Trump says he will return to Butler for another rally after assassination attempt

Array ( [post_title] => Trump says he will return to Butler for another rally after assassination attempt [post_content] =>

Former President Trump said Friday he intends to return to Butler, Pa., for another campaign rally after his event there earlier this month was cut short by an assassination attempt that left one attendee dead.

"I will be going back to Butler, Pennsylvania for a big and beautiful rally, honoring the soul of our beloved firefighting hero, Corey, and those brave patriots injured two weeks ago. What a day it will be — fight, fight fight! Stay tuned for details," Trump wrote.

It's unclear when or where the rally will take place. The Secret Service, which has come under scrutiny in the wake of the Butler rally, has urged Trump and his team against holding outdoor rallies following the shooting.

Trump held an outdoor rally in Butler on July 13. He was on stage for just a short time before gunshots rang out.

Corey Comperatore, a former fire chief, was killed in the shooting. An online fundraiser promoted by Trump and his allies in honor of Comperatore and two others wounded in the shooting raised more than $6 million.

The gunman, Thomas Matthew Crooks, was also killed.

Trump was grazed in the shooting and emerged from the stage with his ear bloodied. He pumped his fist and yelled "fight!" to the audience as he was hustled away by the Secret Service.

Trump has held multiple campaign events since the shooting, including one in Michigan and one in North Carolina. He has one scheduled for Saturday in Minnesota and next week in Harrisburg, Pa. The former president has worn a bandage over his ear where he was shot at each of his public appearances since the Butler rally.
