Graham warns Iran could ‘sprint to a nuclear weapon’ before election, blames Biden ‘failure’
The “failure” of President Biden and Vice President Harris could lead to Iran producing a nuclear weapon in the months ahead of the U.S. presidential election, Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., warned on Sunday. Graham, appearing on CBS’ “Face the Nation,” said the Senate last week received a “stunning” report from the Director of National Intelligence about the status of the Iranian nuclear program. “What I worry the most about is a sprint to a nuclear weapon,” Graham said. “I am very worried that not only you could open up a second front [in Israel’s war], but they could use these three or four months before our election to sprint to a nuclear weapon, and we have to put them on notice. That cannot happen.” Earlier this month, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken warned that Iran could produce fissile nuclear material in “one or two weeks.” NETANYAHU REPORTEDLY UPSET WITH HARRIS OVER VP’S ISRAEL REMARKS AS WHITE HOUSE PUSHES BACK While Blinken blamed the collapse of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) – commonly known as the Iran nuclear deal – for Iran’s accelerated development, Graham pointed to Biden and Harris. “Biden, Harris have been a colossal failure in terms of controlling the ayatollah,” the senator said. “They’ve enriched him and Israel is paying the price.” Israeli authorities said a rocket from Lebanon struck a soccer field in the Golan Heights on Saturday, killing 12 children and teens in what the Israeli military called the deadliest attack on civilians since Oct. 7. NETANYAHU RESPONDS TO HEZBOLLAH ATTACK THAT KILLED CHILDREN AT SOCCER FIELD: ‘THIS WILL NOT GO UNANSWERED’ Israeli authorities have said the rocket was fired by the Iran-backed terrorist group Hezbollah. Blinken said Sunday that “every indication” showed the rocket came from Hezbollah. Graham said if Iran is not “put on notice” and held accountable for attacks on Israel carried out by its proxies Hezbollah and Hamas, they will continue to target the Jewish state. “So until the Iranians believe they’re going to get hit, that we start putting their oil refineries on a target list, you’re going to get more of this when it comes to Iran,” Graham warned. The Associated Press contributed to this report.
Pritzker downplays importance of Harris VP choice
Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker downplayed the importance of Vice President Kamala Harris’ running mate pick amid speculation he is one of the frontrunners for the position. “We’ve seen over the last decades that who you pick as your vice president doesn’t determine whether you’re going to win a state or not,” the Democratic governor said during an appearance on ABC’s “This Week” on Sunday. “What it does determine is whether you’ve got the message right across the board.” The comments come as Pritzker is believed to be one of the candidates in the running to join Harris on the Democratic ticket, though an NBC news report last week indicated the field had been whittled down to Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz. DEMOCRATS TO CONFIRM NOMINEES BY VIRTUAL ROLL CALL WEEKS BEFORE DNC IN CHICAGO TO AVOID LEGAL CHALLENGES Nevertheless, some reports had speculated that the Illinois governor was at least under consideration by the Harris campaign and had been sent vetting materials, something Pritzker declined to comment on during his Sunday interview. “I’m not going to talk about that. I am going to talk about what I think is important in this campaign, and that’s winning, beating Donald Trump,” Prtizker told “This Week.” When it comes to defeating former President Trump in the election, Pritzker argued that the “electorate is energized” since Harris launched her campaign. BIDEN’S CABINET DOUBLES DOWN ON SUPPORT FOR PRESIDENT AMID CALLS TO INVOKE 25TH AMENDMENT “Democrats are ready to go… Her message is one that I think resonates with people,” Pritzker said of Harris, who officially replaced President Biden at the top of the ticket last week. The Illinois governor also cited Harris’ experience as a prosecutor, arguing that her experience will resonate against Trump, who has been battling multiple legal issues since leaving office. “She’s somebody who understands that making the case is how you win… every day prosecuting the case, especially against a 34-time convicted felon and, frankly, a congenital liar,” Pritzker said. The Harris campaign did not immediately respond to a Fox News Digital request for comment.
Harris closes in on Trump in election betting markets
Vice President Kamala Harris has gained significant ground on former President Trump in the election betting markets in the week since taking over at the top of the Democratic ticket. Trump entered Sunday with a 54.6% to win the election, while Harris came in at 39.2%, according to the Real Clear Politics betting average, a spread of a little over 15.2 percentage points. While the market still favors Trump, the 15-point gap represents a significant shift over the last week. On July 20, the days before President Biden announced his decision to drop out of the race, Trump had a 61% chance to win the election, the Real Clear Politics average showed, while Harris came in with an 18.2% chance and Biden had a 9.5% chance, an almost 43-point gap between Trump and his closest competitor. DEMOCRATS TO CONFIRM NOMINEES BY VIRTUAL ROLL CALL WEEKS BEFORE DNC IN CHICAGO TO AVOID LEGAL CHALLENGES A similar trend has played out on PredictIt, a New Zealand-based prediction market that offers “shares” of political outcomes, with Trump shares currently selling for 54 cents on the site and Harris shares selling for 48 cents. Since shares on the platform are priced between $0.01 and $0.99, the price of the share is essentially the percentage chance an outcome will happen, meaning Trump has a 54% chance to win the election. Harris has gained significant ground on Trump over the last week on PredictIt, the platform’s historical trends show. On July 20, Trump shares were selling for 64 cents, Harris, 27 cents, and Biden 15 cents, meaning the price to bet on Harris has closed from 37 cents to six cents over the last week. BIDEN’S CABINET DOUBLES DOWN ON SUPPORT FOR PRESIDENT AMID CALLS TO INVOKE 25TH AMENDMENT The tightening betting markets come as polls continue to show what could be a potentially close race between Trump and Harris. According to the Real Clear Politics national average, Trump holds just a 1.7 point lead over Harris in the polls. Polls in the main battleground states have been more sparse, but also show a tight race. The Trump and Harris campaigns did not immediately respond to a Fox News Digital request for comment.

Elizabeth Warren calls for granting citizenship to illegal immigrants, says Harris ‘will get that done’
Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., called for creating a pathway to citizenship for millions of illegal immigrants on Sunday, arguing Vice President Kamala Harris is the candidate to “get it done.” Warren made the comments during a Sunday morning appearance on CNN’s “State of the Union” with host Jake Tapper. Tapper pressed her to defend the immigration policies of the Biden-Harris administration, which have been historically unpopular. “I don’t need to tell you voters overwhelmingly disapprove of how the Biden-Harris administration has handled the border,” Tapper said. “By giving the nomination to one of the leaders of the border effort, aren’t Democrats doubling down on one of your party’s biggest vulnerabilities?” “Border crossings now are lower than they were in the last year of the Trump administration. But recognize – and I know that Kamala Harris knows – this is a problem that ultimately has to be solved by Congress,” Warren responded. WEBPAGE THAT RATED KAMALA HARRIS THE ‘MOST LIBERAL’ SENATOR IN 2019 SUDDENLY DISAPPEARS “We need the tools in order to have more resources at the border, to have more resources in the states and cities that are supporting migrants. And I believe we need to create a pathway to citizenship. All of that is part of what we need to do for comprehensive immigration reform. Kamala Harris will work with Congress and get that done,” she added. CBS STATION SLAPPED WITH COMMUNITY NOTE AFTER CLAIMING TRUMP MISLED ABOUT HARRIS-BACKED BAIL FUND Former President Trump has remained focused on illegal immigration throughout his campaign. Border crossings repeatedly surged to unprecedented levels at multiple points during the Biden administration. Trump’s running mate, Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio, accused Harris of wanting citizenship for illegal immigrants at a campaign rally in Minnesota on Saturday. “Worst of all, Kamala Harris would happily erode every protection we have to prevent them from voting,” Vance said at a rally in Minnesota Saturday. “She wants to hand over control of our country to people who shouldn’t be here in the first place. And we cannot let her. And I have a message, a very simple message to the millions of illegal aliens who are in this country and shouldn’t be. If you are here, start packing your bags right now because Donald J. Trump is coming back into office.”

Trump campaign touts ‘Trump Force 47’ grassroots recruitment effort 100 days out from Election Day
FIRST ON FOX: Former President Trump’s campaign has mapped out its general election strategy with just 100 days until voters cast their ballots in November, launching a social media blitz and urging supporters to join its “Trump Force 47” grassroots effort to recruit new voters. The program, which the campaign says is focused on mobilizing “highly-targeted voters in critical precincts across the battleground states and districts,” has already engaged tens of thousands of volunteers. “Trump Force 47 is highly effective because it takes traditional voter contact tactics a step further by equipping voters with the skills to persuade their neighbors to vote for President Trump,” Trump campaign national press secretary Karoline Leavitt told Fox News Digital. “100 days out from Election Day, Team Trump is ready to turn the historic enthusiasm behind President Trump into action by signing up thousands of new volunteers who are ready to Make America Great Again.” TRUMP’S NEW BOOK ‘SAVE AMERICA’ CHRONICLES FIRST-TERM TRIUMPHS, OUTLINES BLUEPRINT FOR A WINNING SECOND The campaign told Fox News Digital that “Trump Force 47” builds on its early-state primary strategy of organizing volunteers at the precinct level, where each volunteer works to attract several specifically-targeted voters. The “Trump Force 47” website says it is “the official army of volunteer neighborhood organizers working together to defeat Kamala Harris and the far-left liberal democrats.” Potential volunteers can sign up to target voter outreach in their own neighborhoods; call targeted voters; sign up for poll watching; be a “Trump Captain; host a “Trump House Party;” or deliver yard signs to neighbors. “Securing these votes are critical to ensuring President Trump and other Republicans win in November,” the Trump campaign said. Meanwhile, the campaign is focusing on themes echoed throughout the Republican National Committee earlier this month, including “Make America Safe Again,” “Make America Strong Again” and “Make America Great Again.” TRUMP CAMPAIGN SAYS IT’S ‘WELL-POSITIONED TO PROSECUTE THE CASE’ AGAINST KAMALA HARRIS The Trump campaign is releasing new graphics and ads, touting the former president’s record and his plans to “win, win, win” against Vice President Harris. The new voter strategy comes after former Trump officially became the Republican presidential nominee, and Sen. JD Vance became his running mate, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, at the Republican National Convention earlier this month. It also comes after President Biden suspended his re-election campaign. Harris landed endorsements from Biden, along with other top Democrats like former President Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama, former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and more. Harris has also landed endorsements from the majority of delegates needed to secure the Democratic nomination. The official Democratic nominee, though, will not be named until Aug. 1. The change at the top of the Democratic ticket does not concern the Trump campaign, according to sources familiar. The campaign told Fox News Digital it “has been wholly prepared for every scenario” and said it completed its “gameplanning months in advance.” “The campaign leaves nothing to chance and is well-positioned to prosecute the case against a weak, failed, incompetent, and dangerously liberal in Kamala Harris,” a Trump campaign adviser told Fox News Digital. And in an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital this week, former President Trump said Harris is “a radical left lunatic.” “She’ll destroy our country,” Trump told Fox News Digital. “She doesn’t have what it takes to be president.”
