Internal documents obtained by CBS News’ Catherine Herridge have revealed allegations of retaliation by Customs and Border Protection (CBP) against whistleblowers who exposed a stunning agency failure. The controversy centers around the agency’s purported refusal to implement a crucial public safety law involving DNA collection from detainees accused of immigration violations—a lapse that whistleblowers claim has compromised American safety.

The leaked government memo detailed accusations that CBP retaliated against employees who exposed “the agency’s intentional, decade-long failure to enforce the DNA Fingerprint Act of 2005.” The law mandates the collection of DNA samples from non-U.S. persons detained on immigration charges to bolster public safety and aid criminal investigations.

The whistleblowers, Mark Jones, Fred Wynn, and Michael Taylor, bring a collective 69 years of law enforcement expertise to the table. Each of them has been granted top-secret clearances, including Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI), which protects highly sensitive sources and methods. Their respective tenures are 20, 18, and 31 years.

In an exclusive interview with Herridge, the three of them said that the failures of CBP have directly contributed to preventable American deaths. They claimed that had the law been properly enforced, numerous violent offenders might have been apprehended sooner, potentially preventing crimes, including the tragic case of a 37-year-old Maryland woman killed by a suspect who, they say, could have been stopped had his DNA been collected during previous detentions.

“Are you alleging that Homeland Security’s failure to comply with the DNA collection law may have been a contributing factor in Rachel Morin’s death?” Herridge asked.

“It may have been a contributing factor. Yes,” said Fred Wynn.

“No question in your mind?” asked Herridge.

“None…had the subject had DNA taken the first time they were encountered, there would’ve been an instant possibility that any future criminal activity would’ve been stopped immediately, and there was definite potential for the individual to be apprehended,” Wynn said.

WATCH:

“Our investigation reveals a disturbing picture of systematic non-compliance and apparent disregard for mandated legal protocols designed to protect the public,” Herridge reported. According to the documents, nearly 70% of border encounters since 2010 have neglected the required DNA collections, potentially allowing around 950,000 violent offenders to remain unidentified.

The internal memo also described a hostile work environment for those who have tried to bring these issues to light, including threats of bankruptcy, forced resignation, or worse, retaliatory tactics. “The agency’s goal is to bankrupt you, make you quit, die, kill yourselves, or basically preferably all of the above,” explained the whistleblowers.

Since the Biden/Harris administration took office in 2021, Homeland Security data indicates that there have been over 10 million border encounters.

“We know for a fact that not every individual who crosses the border illegally into the United States goes on to commit violent acts. But given the number, even a very small percentage results in a definite increase in crime within the United States,” said Wynn.

“Ultimately, the Secretary of Department of Homeland Security is responsible. We know that he’s been notified of the non-compliance. They’ve done so with impunity,” added Mike Taylor.

The whistleblowers who dared to speak out against the misconduct have faced harsh backlash since 2023, with their careers hanging by a thread. After exposing wrongdoing, they endured demotions, lost their law enforcement credentials and firearms, and have grappled with hostile work environments. The treatment appeared aimed at silencing them, tarnishing their reputations, and derailing their careers, according to Senator Chuck Grassley’s (R-IA) office.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) was met with some harsh words during his visit to the Dominican Day Parade in New York City. Amid the celebration of Dominican culture, music, and dance, Schumer’s presence was marred by an embarrassing confrontation.

The parade drew more than a million attendees eager to celebrate the Dominican Republic’s heritage and featured music and dancing. The parade is an annual event that usually takes place in August, featuring a procession along the Avenue of the Americas in Manhattan. Participants in the parade showcase traditional Dominican music, dance, and festive costumes, making it a lively and joyful occasion for both the Dominican community and the city at large.

As Schumer mingled with parade-goers on Sixth Avenue, a heckler, identified as DVS 7.0 on X, took the opportunity to express his displeasure with the senator’s political track record.

“Hey Chuck, you know the Americans actually hate your guts, right? Because you’re a scumbag, you know that, right? You ruined New York. You’re a loser. You’re a loser, buddy. You’re a loser,” the heckler said to his face.

As of late, New York City has been plagued by a surge in crime and an influx of illegal immigrants over the last couple of years. To add to his record, Schumer recently unveiled legislation aimed at reversing the Supreme Court decision that granted presidents legal immunity, particularly Donald Trump. The move sharpened the Democrat Party’s claim that democracy’s fate hung in the balance in the November elections.

However, Schumer has quietly emerged as a beneficiary of his party’s vice presidential selection. Minnesota Governor Tim Walz’s nomination as the Democratic vice presidential candidate safeguarded Schumer’s Senate Democratic caucus by avoiding a potential special election in a battleground state as reported by Axios. The decision also kept North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper, previously considered for the VP slot, available for a possible Senate run in 2026.

With Walz on the ticket, Democrats hope to boost their appeal in the Midwest. Democratic insiders are reportedly encouraging Schumer to recruit Cooper to challenge Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) in the next election. On “CBS News Sunday Morning,” Joe Biden made a stunning revelation that he was nudged out of the presidential race by key Democrat figures, suggesting a behind-the-scenes maneuver that many suspected.

The move to step down was reportedly influenced by Democratic heavyweights including Schumer, who was allegedly worried about the repercussions of Biden’s candidacy on his colleagues’ electoral prospects. The internal push came in the wake of Biden’s contentious debate performance against former President Trump in late June, which many saw as detrimental to his campaign.

WATCH:

“Look, the polls we had showed that it was a neck-and-neck race. Would have been down to the wire,” Biden said. “But what happened was a number of my Democratic colleagues in the House and Senate thought that I was going to hurt them in the races.”

“And I was concerned if I stayed in the race, that would be the topic you’d be interviewing me about. Why did Nancy Pelosi say? Why did someone… and I thought it’d be a real distraction.”

WATCH:

The president, 81, faced what public mutiny by numerous Democrats culminating in his decision to drop out of the race. Shortly after his withdrawal, Biden endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris, who has since made strides in the polls against former President Donald Trump. The open admission by Biden opens a rare window about the unity and future direction of the Democrat Party as they brace for a fiercely competitive race against Trump.

“Nancy made clear that they could do this the easy way or the hard way,” revealed one Democrat to POLITICO in July. “She gave them three weeks of the easy way. It was about to be the hard way.”

“We were giving him the respect of the weekend to make his decision. We were hopeful that this is the decision we would make,” the source said. A lawmaker close to the leadership told the outlet that the president had “gone offline” spending time with his family. “He got the message.”

In a series of crucial meetings spread over three days, Biden held private discussions with top Democratic leaders, including Pelosi, Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), and Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY). Schumer even made a discreet visit to Biden’s beach vacation home in Delaware.

This all aligned with a Washington Post report indicating that former President Barack Obama was also privately expressing his concerns about the viability of Biden’s campaign. As the inner circle debated, Democratic operatives were already preparing contingency plans to swiftly adapt to potential changes, but Biden’s abrupt announcement caught even them by surprise.

The night before, members of Biden’s inner circle firmly told a high-ranking Democrat that the president was resolute in continuing his campaign, stating “no ifs, ands or buts.” Roughly twenty-four hours after Biden dropped out, Pelosi officially issued her endorsement of Kamala Harris as the party’s next leader.

Fresh from clinching his latest Olympic gold with Team USA at the Paris 2024 Olympics, Lebron James has found himself in the wrong spotlight.

The basketball superstar, who played a pivotal role in leading the U.S. team to a 98-87 victory over France, was caught on video rudely reacting to a young fan’s request for a picture, only to be seen dancing joyously mere moments later.

The moment unfolded shortly after the Americans secured their fifth consecutive Olympic gold, showing LeBron visibly annoyed as a little boy approaches him for a photograph.

However, the mood shifted dramatically when LeBron, still donning his gold medal, was seen breaking into a dance before he enters a nightclub, clearly in high spirits after his team’s triumph.

WATCH:

LeBron not a real person lmaooo. Yelled at a little boy for running up on him and started dancing 10 seconds later pic.twitter.com/YPJYfRlEQK

The NBA superstar has showed no signs of slowing down on the court, however, his rebuke of the young fan off the court struck a more paternal and less praised note, causing some disapproval across social media platforms.

Many on social media called his behavior towards the boy rude and unbecoming of an athlete celebrated not only for his skills but also for his “role model” status.

REACTIONS:

Fresh from clinching his latest Olympic gold with Team USA at the Paris 2024 Olympics, Lebron James has found himself in the wrong spotlight.

The basketball superstar, who played a pivotal role in leading the U.S. team to a 98-87 victory over France, was caught on video rudely reacting to a young fan’s request for a picture, only to be seen dancing joyously mere moments later.

The moment unfolded shortly after the Americans secured their fifth consecutive Olympic gold, showing LeBron visibly annoyed as a little boy approaches him for a photograph.

However, the mood shifted dramatically when LeBron, still donning his gold medal, was seen breaking into a dance before he enters a nightclub, clearly in high spirits after his team’s triumph.

WATCH:

LeBron not a real person lmaooo. Yelled at a little boy for running up on him and started dancing 10 seconds later pic.twitter.com/YPJYfRlEQK

The NBA superstar has showed no signs of slowing down on the court, however, his rebuke of the young fan off the court struck a more paternal and less praised note, causing some disapproval across social media platforms.

Many on social media called his behavior towards the boy rude and unbecoming of an athlete celebrated not only for his skills but also for his “role model” status.

JD Vance (R-OH) the GOP vice presidential nominee, sparred with host Dana Bash in a compelling CNN interview over the weekend. Known for his somewhat straightforward style, Vance did not hesitate to voice his opinions about Democrat rivals, Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.

“We’re running against a set of policies that I think have failed the American people,” Vance told Bash early on. “President Trump delivered lower prices, lower inflation, a prosperous and peaceful world and also a secure border and Kamala Harris’s policies have produced the exact opposite.”

As the interview progressed, Bash challenged Vance on his portrayal of the Democrats, particularly his use of the term “weird” to describe Walz’s behavior. Vance defended his choice of words by alluding to the moment when Walz gave his wife a “nice firm Midwestern handshake” instead of a more affectionate gesture during his VP announcement, which Vance described as indicative of the Democrats’ discomfort with their policies.

“So I think that what it is, is two people, Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, who aren’t comfortable in their own skin because they aren’t comfortable with their policy positions for the American people. And so their name calling, instead of actually telling the American people how they’re going to make their lives better. I think that’s weird, Dana, but look, they can call me whatever they want to,” Vance explained.

WATCH:

The Ohio Senator’s remarks come as a response to Democrats rallying around a statement from Walz, who, in an MSNBC interview weeks before being chosen as Harris’ running mate, called former President Donald Trump and Vance “just weird.”

The campaign trail has also heated up with Vance launching attacks over the military record of Governor Walz. Bash brought up the accusations, leading to one of the more heated moments of the discussion. However, Vance stood firm, saying, “This is a guy who was captured on video saying I carried a gun in war. He never went to war.”

“He’s a veteran of a war nodding along in agreement instead of saying ‘no, no, no, I did serve my country and I did it honorably, but I never went to a war zone.’ I’m not criticizing Tim Walz’s service,” Vance said. “I’m criticizing the fact that he lied about his service for political gain, Dana. Now I served in the United States Marine Corps and you know this. And look, there are a lot of things that I’m proud about.”

“He knew he was going to Iraq,” Vance said. “He decided to quit — to retire; whatever word you want to use … because he wanted to run for Congress. He lied about that. He said that when he decided to retire, he did not know he was going to Iraq. That is another untruth, as even his senior military officer said.”

“The truth is that Tim Walz didn’t tell the truth, and importantly, Dana, this is about Kamala Harris’ judgment.”

Vice President Harris and former President Trump are bracing for a busy week as they continue their pursuit of the White House. The two are set to face off in a highly anticipated debate on September 10, which was finalized after prolonged discussions.

Country music star Phil Vassar has disclosed that he experienced two life-threatening incidents earlier this year, where he technically “died” before being revived by medical professionals. Vassar, known for his vibrant contributions to country music, endured a heart attack and a stroke that stopped his heart for nearly 30 minutes. Despite doctors giving him no chance of survival, Vassar miraculously recovered, attributing his survival to quick medical intervention and sheer determination.

Vassar’s gripping survival story began with a sudden, life-threatening heart attack followed by a stroke within days in early 2023. “I wasn’t a drinker or a partier,” Vassar explained to Taste of Country. “I worked out every day. I never ate anything fried. It just caught up with me, you know, the genes.”

Vassar’s ordeal took a dramatic turn just three days after his initial heart attack. While hospitalized, he suffered a stroke, leading to an emergency intervention that literally put him on ice. “They shot me straight down to Atlanta. Stroke protocol, all that stuff. So they iced me down,” Vassar recounted.

Despite the chilling treatment, he humorously recalled being puzzled by the cold, unaware that his body temperature was being medically managed. Vassar shared that he has no recollection of the events. “Everybody was asking, ‘Did you go through a tunnel?’ I said, ‘Yeah, I don’t remember anything.’”

WATCH:

Vassar was at home when the initial heart attack struck. If not for the presence and quick thinking of a companion, the outcome could have been gravely different. “If I hadn’t been with somebody…” he trailed off. The critical moments that followed were a blur of blue lips, frantic CPR, and an urgent 911 call that saved his life. “They had to shock me 11 times and cracked some ribs,” Vassar added.

Vassar made his mark not only as a singer but also as a songwriter, crafting hits for artists like Tim McGraw and Alan Jackson before launching his own performing career. His self-titled debut album in 2000 featured the hit single “Just Another Day in Paradise,” which topped country music charts and solidified his place in the industry.

During the interview, Vassar admitted a newfound appreciation for life and the limitations his body now imposes. “I’m not pounding it like I used to. I think I did 100 shows that one year … the year I croaked. I feel great. I mean, I love singing. I appreciate it more, I can tell you that. We appreciate being here, being alive,” he confessed.

“Thank goodness for medicine. I probably would not have lived a few years ago, but now they can stint you and fix your — I mean, you think you’re doing everything right, and then it all goes wrong, right? It’s just weird that way. But that’s life, I suppose.”

Vassar’s music often blends traditional country with pop elements, making his songs accessible to a broad audience. His lively concerts showcase his charismatic stage presence and musical versatility. Beyond his success on the charts, Vassar is noted for his philanthropic efforts, often participating in charity events and using his music to support causes he believes in.

Kari Lake, Arizona’s fiery GOP Senate contender, slammed Kamala Harris during a campaign event on Thursday, casting her and VP pick Tim Walz as a danger to her state’s border security. With Harris set to rally in Glendale on Friday, Lake blasted the veep for skipping a visit to the southern border—again.

The event also included parents whose children were victims of the fentanyl crisis, and Jade Gillon, a local resident and former Democratic voter. Gillon, an African American, expressed her support for Trump, saying that life was better for people of all races during his administration. Lake invited Gillon to the podium, where she shared her personal experiences and the differences in her life under the Trump and Biden administrations.

“My name is Jade. I am a former Democrat. Unlike Kamala Harris, I’m an actual real-life black woman. I’m a former Democrat who is currently registered Republican,” she began. “I’m tired of the Democrats using the generational trauma of my people to garner votes. They invoke fear, they tell me I’m oppressed, they tell me I’m less than, they tell me I’m not good enough, and they tell me that my white brothers and sisters in Christ are my enemy. They are not.”

The crux of Jade’s argument centered on the economic struggles faced by many Americans, which she felt were exacerbated under the current administration. “The enemy is telling me that, don’t worry that I can’t pay my bills and I’m working six days a week this week and I’m tired. And I went to school and I have a career. I’m doing worse under this administration than in Donald Trump’s administration, but I’m told to be afraid of a man who made my life better?”

“How does that work? Make it make sense,” she asked. “During COVID, I knew more of my white guy friends that lost their jobs than me and my black girlfriends. We are the same in this country. All these Americans want the same thing.”

WATCH:

“We want safety. We want prosperity. We want peace. And the Democrats keep going back and look, check it out, right? I honor my ancestors and the people who fought for us to be in this room here today. No one is discounting what my people went through,” she said.

Jade’s speech culminated in a powerful call to action, urging a departure from fear-based politics and a return to principles she believes were better upheld during former President Trump’s presidency. “So let’s move past this. Let’s vote for Donald Trump so we can all be prosperous again. Let’s get out of this fear, this rage, and this anger, because it comes from the devil.”

“I don’t owe the Democrats anything. They owe me. They’re to serve us. They’re public servants. Stop putting them on a pedestal.” Jade’s address at the Kari Lake rally captivated those present. Lake was also joined by U.S. Representatives Eli Crane (R-AZ) and Andy Biggs (R-AZ), who criticized her Democrat opponent Ruben Gallego (D-AZ). Gallego is competing to fill the seat of retiring Senator Kyrsten Sinema, (I-AZ).

I’m a former Democrat who is currently registered Republican,” she began. “I’m tired of the Democrats using the generational trauma of my people to garner votes. They invoke fear, they tell me I’m oppressed, they tell me I’m less than, they tell me I’m not good enough, and they tell me that my white brothers and sisters in Christ are my enemy. They are not.” The crux of Jade’s argument centered on the economic struggles faced by many Americans, which she felt were exacerbated under the current administration. “The enemy is telling me that, don’t worry that I can’t pay my bills and I’m working six days a week this week and I’m tired. And I went to school and I have a career. I’m doing worse under this administration than in Donald Trump’s administration, but I’m told to be afraid of a man who made my life better?” “How does that work? Make it make sense,” she asked. “During COVID, I knew more of my white guy friends that lost their jobs than me and my black girlfriends. We are the same in this country. All these Americans want the same thing.” WATCH: “We want safety. We want prosperity. We want peace. And the Democrats keep going back and look, check it out, right? I honor my ancestors and the people who fought for us to be in this room here today. No one is discounting what my people went through,” she said. Jade’s speech culminated in a powerful call to action, urging a departure from fear-based politics and a return to principles she believes were better upheld during former President Trump’s presidency. “So let’s move past this. Let’s vote for Donald Trump so we can all be prosperous again. Let’s get out of this fear, this rage, and this anger, because it comes from the devil.” “I don’t owe the Democrats anything. They owe me. They’re to serve us. They’re public servants. Stop putting them on a pedestal.” Jade’s address at the Kari Lake rally captivated those present. Lake was also joined by U.S. Representatives Eli Crane (R-AZ) and Andy Biggs (R-AZ), who criticized her Democrat opponent Ruben Gallego (D-AZ). Gallego is competing to fill the seat of retiring Senator Kyrsten Sinema, (I-AZ).

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker has reaffirmed his support for the statements he made during a commencement speech at Benedictine College this past May. The address, which became a focal point of media scrutiny, led to widespread controversy over his views on women’s roles in society. Butker addressed these controversies head-on in Wednesday’s media interaction at the Chiefs’ training camp.

“I’ve appreciated all the feedback,” Butker said. “I know when it comes to football I don’t really look at the comments good or bad towards me, but with it being the offseason and stating a lot of these things, I was really curious as to what people would be saying back to me and I respected all the viewpoints.”

“I prayed about it and I thought about it and I was very intentional with what I said, and I stand behind what I said and I really believe if people knew me as a person and understood that I was coming from a place of love and not a place of trying to attack or put people down, that I only want the best for people.”

The controversy mainly centered around Butker’s views on women prioritizing family over professional careers, which some interpreted as undermining women’s value in the workforce. In response to this, Butker explained, “My whole career I’ve talked about how I’m a husband and I’m a father before it comes to me as a kicker, something I’ve always preached. But then when I use that to talk about women, and I say that they should embrace and love being wives and being mothers over their career, I think then it gets construed that I’m trying to put women down, which I’m not at all.”

During his speech in May, Butker strongly criticized Joe Biden, particularly condemning the president’s stance on abortion and his actions in relation to religious practices, which Butker described as “delusional.” His speech also touched on controversial topics such as IVF, surrogacy, the LGBT movement, and Pride Month.

“My wife had never heard me speak publicly and she was there for that moment,” Butker said on Wednesday. “She was up in the background in one of the offices up there, and I was getting emotional looking at her crying and understanding that she has sacrificed so much for me.”

This Monday, Butker, who has been with the Chiefs since 2017, secured a contract extension that not only cemented his place in sports but also placed him at the top of the list as the highest-paid kicker in NFL history. The Chiefs announced they signed him to a four-year, $25.6 million extension that included $17.75 million guaranteed. The lucrative deal, which Butker represented and negotiated himself, extends his tenure with the Chiefs through the 2028 season. Under the new agreement, Butker’s career with the Chiefs, marked by significant contributions to the team’s success, including three Super Bowl victories since 2019, is set to continue its upward trajectory.

Originally a seventh-round draft pick by the Carolina Panthers, Butker boasts a regular season field-goal conversion rate of 89.1% on 197 attempts. His playoff performance is even more impressive, with a success rate of 91.4% in field goals.

A resurfaced video from the Daily Mail is going viral on social media. In the clip, Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, donned a hijab during a visit to the Hayes Muslim Centre in West London.

The video captured not just Kate’s attire but also a controversial incident where a Muslim man declined to shake her hand, citing religious reasons that forbid him from touching a woman who is not his wife.

The visit by Kate and her husband, Prince William, was part of their engagement with communities involved in raising funds for the devastating earthquakes that struck Turkey and Syria in early 2023. The Princess’s choice to wear a hijab was seen as a nod to cultural sensitivity, aligning with royal protocols that often encourage attire respectful of the host community’s customs.

However, the refusal of a handshake was seen as a snub by many that disrespected the Princess and symbolic rejection of Western figures and values.

The assimilation of Middle Eastern culture in England has presented challenges to say the least. Middleton has worn headscarves during several notable past visits. In 2012, she chose a light blue scarf for a mosque visit in Malaysia, and she showcased a variety of headscarves throughout her 2019 tour of Pakistan.

Tensions have escalated recently in Britain and other regions following the violent spree by Hamas gunmen in Israeli towns and Israel’s subsequent attack in Gaza. This sparked pro-Palestinian demonstrations and solidarity vigils by Jewish groups for hostages, including some British nationals, who were captured by the militants.

Recent polls conducted by highly regarded firms Trafalgar Group and InsiderAdvantage show former President Donald Trump gaining ground against Vice President Kamala Harris in key swing states.

The findings come from Robert Cahaly of the Trafalgar Group and Matt Towery of InsiderAdvantage, who co-host the popular PollingPlus podcast. Their insights are especially noteworthy given their firms’ reputation for accuracy in prior elections, a status confirmed by RealClearPolitics.

In Michigan, the race is tight, with Harris holding a slight edge at 49% to Trump’s 47%. However, Trump edges out Harris in Wisconsin, leading 49% to 48%. Trafalgar Group’s polling further reveals a trend favoring Trump in other critical regions.

In Pennsylvania, Trump leads with 46%, compared to Harris’s 44%. Arizona shows a similar pattern, with Trump at 48% and Harris at 47%. Trump’s lead extends to Nevada, where he outpaces Harris 48% to 45%, and in North Carolina, where he leads 49% to 45%. These results indicate that Trump retains solid support in states that could be pivotal in determining the outcome of the election. The consistency of his lead across multiple states shows a resilient base and potential weaknesses in Harris’s campaign strategy.

Polling data also showed that a significant portion of the electorate remains undecided or favors other candidates. In states like Pennsylvania and Nevada, undecided voters and those supporting other candidates total 10% and 7% respectively, enough to swing the results as the race progresses. While Trump may find reassurance in his enduring appeal in battleground states, the coming weeks are sure to bring more insights as both sides adjust their tactics in response to the shifting electoral terrain.

Former President Trump rallied supporters in Montana Thursday night, aiming to invigorate the Republican party’s prospects in a tightly contested Senate race this year. “I hear he’s going to make a comeback at the Democrat convention,” Trump joked of Biden during the rally. “He’s going to walk into the room and he’s going to say, ‘I want my presidency back. I want another chance to debate Trump. I want another chance.’”

At his rally in Bozeman, Montana, Trump took a pointed jab at Governor Walz. “He ordered tampons to be put into boys’ bathrooms. Do we have any children here? Please close your ears. He ordered tampons in boys’ bathrooms, OK?” Trump said of Walz.

“So when you’re commander in chief, you don’t go to the run and hide away from the press. You know, they run and they wanna go on a record that’s a fake record. They have a fake record, both of them. How ’bout the new guy? How do you like him?” Trump said.

Trump’s appearance at the Montana rally was delayed due to mechanical failures with his plane, as reported by the U.S. Secret Service. On the same evening, Vice President Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, hit the campaign trail in Arizona continuing their push through pivotal battleground states.

The stage is set for a fiery debate as Trump confirms his participation in a televised face-off against Harris on ABC, slated for September 10. This debate marks the first of potentially three in September, though the dates for the remaining debates are yet to be confirmed.
