15 days until the first presidential debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris. 71 days until Election Day. And 27 days until the fall equinox (I don't want summer to end just yet though.) |
Trump questions whether he'll participate in debate as rules are up in the air |
Will he or won't he? Former President Donald Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, on Sunday questioned why he would debate Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic presidential nominee, on ABC News. He criticized the network, which is set to host the debate on Sept. 10. On top of that, the Harris and Trump campaigns can't seem to agree on debate rules. Read more. |

I don't know, doesn't matter to me. ... The agreement was that it would be the same as it was last time. In that case, it was muted." | |

Latino voter support will grow, HHS Secretary said |
During the DNC last week, I was able to sit down with Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra, where we chatted about Latino voters. He told me that support will "grow dramatically" as Harris introduces herself to the Latino and Hispanic communities across the country. Watch the interview here. |
You asked, On Politics answers: What's happening with Trump's conviction? |
We're back this week after putting a pause on this section due to how crazy busy the DNC was! On Politics reader, Bill Smith, asked me: What is going on with Trump's convictions? |
Well, we're going to get a big update next month after Trump was convicted of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records back in May. On Sept. 16, the judge in the case, Judge Juan Merchan, said he is going to rule on the former president's motion to toss out the guilty verdict. That ruling comes after the Supreme Court issued a ruling in July that granted former presidents wide immunity from prosecution. Trump's sentencing will go forward on Sept. 18 if necessary after that ruling.
