Bloomberg drops $10 million donation in bid to help House Democrats
Billionaire businessman Mike Bloomberg donated $10 million to the Democrats’ House Majority PAC in July as the party seeks to wrest control of the chamber from Republicans. The PAC is the major funding group supporting Democrats in the House, both those defending their seats and candidates trying to unseat Republicans. “House Majority PAC is deeply grateful for the longstanding and continued support from Mayor Mike Bloomberg in our efforts to take back the House,” House Majority PAC President Mike Smith said in a statement to NBC News. “With American freedoms at stake, Mayor Bloomberg’s dedication to Democratic ideals will fuel our work to promote an agenda for working families across America and elect Speaker Hakeem Jeffries next year.” The big donation comes after Bloomberg threw $20 million behind President Biden in June, who was then still running for re-election. Those funds are now being used to bolster Vice President Kamala Harris. CNN HOST PRESSES HARRIS CAMPAIGN SPOX ON VP’S SCHEDULE AS SHE AVOIDS PRESS: ‘SHE HAS TIME’ FOR AN INTERVIEW The billionaire’s renewed support for Democrats comes years after his ill-fated attempt to run for president in 2020. Bloomberg shelled out a staggering $1 billion of his own money on his Democratic nomination bid. OBAMA LAUDS ‘BROTHER’ BIDEN AT DNC WEEKS AFTER REPORTED ROLE OUSTING HIM FOR KAMALA HARRIS After he dropped out of the race, he transferred roughly $18 million to the Democratic Party. And he separately announced the funding of a $100 million independent ad campaign to boost Biden’s White House bid. Bloomberg, 82, is the 15th wealthiest person in the world, with approximately $106 billion in assets, according to Forbes Magazine. HARRIS CAMPAIGN WEBSITE STILL MISSING POLICY POSITIONS AS DNC KICKS OFF As the news of the Bloomberg contributions was going viral, so was word that conservative billionaire donor Timothy Mellon gave a mind-boggling $50 million contribution in May to a leading super PAC supporting former President Trump’s White House bid. Donations for Democrats have surged in the weeks since Biden dropped out of the race and endorsed Harris. Enthusiasm for the election has also surged among Democrats, evening out what had been a race favoring Trump. Fox News’ Paul Steinhauser contributed to this report

Obama speech to secure border without ‘tearing’ kids from parents omits somber DHS report on missing migrants
Former President Barack Obama advocated for securing the border “without tearing kids away from their parents” during his speech that concluded the second night of the Democratic National Convention. But Trump War Room, the account for former President Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign, flagged how Obama failed to mention a report released by the Homeland Security Office of the Inspector General earlier Tuesday. “The DHS Inspector General revealed today that 291,000 children who crossed the border illegally under Border Czar Kamala are unaccounted for,” the Trump campaign wrote. As of May 2024, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) had not served notices to appear on more than 291,000 unaccompanied migrant children, “who therefore do not yet have an immigration court date,” according to the DHS watchdog report. An audit revealed ICE transferred more than 448,000 unaccompanied migrant children who crossed the border illegally from fiscal years 2019 to 2023. However, ICE was not able to account for the location of all unaccompanied migrant children who were released from DHS and U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) custody during that time frame and who did not appear as scheduled in immigration court, according to the DHS inspector general’s report. ICE reported more than 32,000 unaccompanied minor children failed to appear for their immigration court hearings from fiscal years 2019 to 2023, the report adds. MICHELLE OBAMA TELLS DNC HER PARENTS WERE ‘SUSPICIOUS’ OF THE WEALTHY DESPITE OWN $70M NET WORTH, LUXURY HOMES Obama closed the second night of the DNC by slamming Trump over a border bill negotiated in a bipartisan manner in the Senate earlier this year that failed to advance to the Republican-controlled House. GOP House leadership had slammed the upper chamber, under Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., for failing to take up a different measure that outlined the lower chamber Republicans’ border priorities. “He wants the middle class to pay the price for another huge tax cut that would mostly help him and his rich friends,” Obama said of Trump. “He killed a bipartisan immigration deal written in part by one of the most conservative Republicans in Congress that would have helped secure our southern border because he thought trying to actually solve the problem would hurt his campaign.” “A Harris-Walz administration can help us move past some of the tired old debates that keep stifling progress,” Obama continued. “They understand that we can secure our borders without tearing kids away from their parents. Just like we can keep our streets safe while also building trust between law enforcement and the communities they serve, and eliminating bias that will make it better for everybody.” DEMONSTRATORS SHOUT ‘F— YOU’ AT CHICAGO POLICE, MORE THAN 70 ARRESTED ON 2ND NIGHT OF DNC “We do not need four more years of bluster and bumbling and chaos. We have seen that movie before, and we all know that the sequel is usually worse. America is ready for a new chapter,” he added. Trump, meanwhile, surrounded by law enforcement, campaigned in Michigan on Tuesday vowing to “Make America Safe Again.” He asked why Democratic presidential nominee and Vice President Harris, who served the past three years as the Biden administration’s border “czar,” needed legislation to seal the southern border, arguing that she could take action now without waiting until Election Day. “It’s all nonsense that Donald Trump stopped a bill. I was opposed to it. So was everyone else. It was the weakest bill under that bill. Millions of people would have been allowed to come in,” Trump said in Howell, Michigan, during his battleground campaign swing meant to counter DNC programming. “This is a weak bill. But you didn’t need a bill. I didn’t have a bill. I said, ‘close the border.’ And that’s how we got to those numbers. The lowest ever recorded. I said, ‘close the border.’ I didn’t have a bill. I didn’t need a bill. She doesn’t need a bill. Biden doesn’t know where he is. So where is he? Whatever happened to him?” Trump also criticized Harris, who began her political career as a prosecutor in San Francisco, for her “pro-crime, anti-police record.” “We want to have borders. We want to have strong police protection. We want a military that can protect us. We want great schools, school choice ideally. We want to have, we want to have a good life. We want to be safe. But let’s review, Kamala’s pro-crime, anti-police record. She repeatedly endorsed defunding the police,” Trump said of Harris. “She sponsored a bill to strip police officers of legal protection, leaving you at the mercy of the lawless Marxist prosecutors who want to lock up police officers for sport.”
Gavin Newsom says Kamala Harris will have ‘more time to articulate nuances’ after the DNC
California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Tuesday night defended Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign strategy – which has been criticized for being light on policy – insisting she will have “time to articulate nuances” later. “She’ll have more … detail, and I believe that will start on Thursday night,” Newsom told Fox News’ Peter Doocy in Chicago Tuesday evening. Harris is slated to give her only formal address to the convention on Thursday, the final night of the convention. Newsom has come to defend Harris’ campaign strategy, responding to detractors who have criticized her for an approach that appears to be lacking in any real, substantive policy details. Harris’ campaign website still contains no policy section, and as a candidate, she has yet to sit for any interviews or hold a press conference. Additionally, until last Friday, Harris had not released any formal policy positions since entering the race in mid-July, when she unveiled her economic agenda. HARRIS CAMPAIGN WEBSITE STILL MISSING POLICY POSITIONS AS DNC KICKS OFF Meanwhile, four years ago, when then-Vice President Joe Biden was running for office, he tasked an entire group of advisers with generating a 110-page policy document, according to The New York Times. It was the same with Hillary Clinton in 2016, the Times also pointed out, which noted that she had more than 200 distinct policy proposals on record during her campaign. Former President Donald Trump, meanwhile, has outlined his policy platform in a lengthy, 20-point document, covering a wide range of topics. “What kind of substantive campaign is Harris intending to run?” Washington Post columnist Matt Bai asked last week. “Or does she really need substance at all?” On Monday, the DNC released its policy platform after having to republish it following Biden’s decision to drop out of the race. The platform mentions Biden’s name 287 times and until it was corrected, had a reference to Biden’s “second term,” suggesting Harris’ supposedly forthcoming policy positions may not differ dramatically from the last administration. However, her economic policies unveiled last week, which include price control measures for the food and grocery store industry, suggested a Harris-Walz administration could potentially be far more progressive than the Biden-Harris administration. Harris is set to accept the Democratic nomination on Thursday.
Trump campaign trolls Harris, releases policy website for her after weeks of silence
FIRST ON FOX: Vice President Kamala Harris has not released a policy page on her campaign website to detail her positions on key issues such as the economy and immigration, sparking the Trump campaign to create and release a platform website for her, Fox News Digital exclusively learned. “Kamala Harris has yet to tell voters what her policies are, so we thought we’d help them out. Kamala Harris wants to open the borders, raise taxes, and free criminals,” a Trump campaign national press secretary told Fox News Digital about the website. Kamala2024policies.com launched Wednesday morning on the third day of the DNC and takes viewers to a website declaring, “Kamala Harris’ dangerous policies are nothing to laugh about.” The site details nine policy platforms for the Harris campaign, including declaring Harris fought “to set murderers free,” wants to “abolish the border,” seeks to “eliminate private health insurance” and wants to give illegal immigrants Social Security and Medicare. “Border Czar Kamala Harris opened the southern border to illegal alien criminals and deadly fentanyl, and as vice president, was the tie-breaking vote for far-left spending bills that raised taxes and sent prices skyrocketing for families across the country. While Harris has tried to rewrite history on her extreme record, she can’t hide from her promises to set murderers free, dismantle America’s border security, raise costs with massive spending bills, bring back the Green New Deal Scam, eliminate private health insurance, and more,” the website states. 31 DAYS: KAMALA HARRIS HAS NOT HELD A PRESS CONFERENCE SINCE EMERGING AS PRESUMPTIVE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE The platform website notably hits the Harris camp on some of the most important issues this election cycle: the economy, spiraling inflation and taxes. “Record high gas prices under the Harris-Biden administration is the ‘price to pay for democracy.’ Remember, Kamala proudly delivered the deciding vote that allowed the $1.9 trillion ‘stimulus’ to be passed. Don’t listen to former Obama economist Jason Furman, who said the spending bill is ‘too big,’ or former Obama and Clinton economist Larry Summers, who said the ‘tremendous wall of money’ led to inflation, or former Obama economic advisor Steven Rattner, who called Kamala’s $1.9 trillion stimulus ‘the original sin’ of inflation,” the website says. On taxes, the Trump camp said “the middle-class will need to pay more” under a potential Harris administration. “Kamala Harris wants to eliminate the Trump tax cuts, which would mean a massive tax hike on middle-income families,” the site says. “Harris was the deciding vote for the ‘Inflation Reduction Act,’ which decreased the ‘average after-tax income for taxpayers at every income level. Americans earning less than $200,000/year saw their taxes rise by $16.7 billion in 2023.” Harris proposed a handful of economic policies last week, including plans to implement federal price controls on groceries and other everyday expenses and raising the corporate tax rate, but the campaign has not detailed those policies or any others on its official website. The campaign website instead features biographies of both Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, as well as donation buttons and a merchandise shop. KAMALA HARRIS SUPPORTERS UNSURE WHEN ASKED ABOUT VP’S POLICY ACCOMPLISHMENTS Harris and Walz are in Chicago this week, where thousands of supporters are gathered for the Democratic National Convention. Harris rose to the top of the Democratic ticket last month after President Biden dropped out of the race amid mounting concerns over his mental acuity and age. Shortly after dropping out, he endorsed Harris to take up the mantle. Despite becoming the party’s presumptive nominee 31 days ago, Harris has also not yet held a formal press conference or sit-down interview with the media to detail her vision of a potential Harris administration. She has instead held repeated campaign events and rallies across the country, speaking to the crowds and only giving informal remarks to reporters while on the trail. CNN HOST PRESSES HARRIS CAMPAIGN SPOX ON VP’S SCHEDULE AS SHE AVOIDS PRESS: ‘SHE HAS TIME’ FOR AN INTERVIEW Historically, presidential candidates have had campaign policy pages readily available for voters. When President Biden was on the campaign trail in 2020, a group of advisers crafted a 110-page policy document, according to The New York Times, which also reported Harris’ lack of a campaign platform on her site. Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in 2016 had a page with 200 distinct policy proposals on record. Former President Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign website also includes a tab titled, “platform,” which features the GOP’s 20-point policy agenda that covers issues ranging from the economy, ongoing crime and tax cuts. Pressure has also built on the Harris campaign to hold a press conference after weeks of avoiding the media, including CNN’s Jim Acosta questioning Harris’ communications director Michael Tyler last week on air. OBAMA LAUDS ‘BROTHER’ BIDEN AT DNC WEEKS AFTER REPORTED ROLE OUSTING HIM FOR KAMALA HARRIS “I’m sure this is not going to be the first time you’ve heard this question, but the Trump campaign is also going after the vice president for not doing enough interviews, for not holding a press conference. Would it kill you guys to have a press conference? Why hasn’t she had a press conference?” Acosta asked. Tyler said that Harris and Walz have been “busy” traveling across the country, citing multiple campaign rallies. “Michael, you know a campaign rally isn’t really a press conference,” Acosta said to Tyler. “Why hasn’t she had a press conference? She’s the vice president, she can handle the questions. Why not do it?” HARRIS CAMPAIGN WEBSITE STILL MISSING POLICY POSITIONS AS DNC KICKS OFF Tyler said Harris would hold a press conference at some point and would sit down for an interview with a media outlet by the end of the month. Some supporters of the Harris-Walz ticket have, meanwhile, struggled to identify the vice president’s accomplishments in interviews with Fox News in recent days. “I really don’t know much of what she did,” Bernard, an independent voter from New York who
