Kamala Harris

Reporter and author Jonathan Allen said Tuesday that former President Barack Obama was working against former Vice President Kamala Harris after former President Joe Biden dropped out, advocating for an open primary because he didn't think Harris could win.

Democrats have spent months debating how and why they lost the 2024 election. But the full picture of what happened on Election Day is only now coming into view.

The most authoritative election analyses draw on a variety of different data sources, including large sample polling, precinct-level returns, and voter file data that shows definitively who did and did not vote. And those last figures became available only recently.

Former Vice President Kamala Harris is seriously considering a run for governor of California — and has given herself a deadline to decide.

At a pre-Oscars party last weekend, Harris was asked by another partygoer when she would make a decision about jumping into the California governor’s race. She gave a definitive answer, according to two people with knowledge of the conversation: the end of the summer.

And in calls to supporters, allies and trusted aides in recent weeks, Harris has made clear that she plans to make a decision in a few months.

Former Vice President Kamala Harris delivered a so-called nonsensical "word salad" during an attempt to deliver an inspirational message to the cast of Broadway’s "A Wonderful World: The Louis Armstrong Musical."

Harris and her husband, Doug Emhoff, were seen attending two Broadway productions over the weekend, the other being "Gypsy," the New York Post reported. 

Following a standing ovation for "A Wonderful World," Harris delivered her speech to the cast and crew.

Vice President Kamala Harris wasn’t performing well in softball interviews as her sugar high faded in September and early October.

But if she wanted to expand her support — and she needed to — she would have to expose herself to tough questioning. That was particularly important with men—specifically young men—who were not buying what she was selling.

Two people were arrested near Vice President Kamala Harris’ Brentwood home as the neighborhood was in the evacuation zone because of the threatening Palisades Fire.

The LAPD detained the two men for breaking curfew violations around 4:30 a.m. on Saturday, NBC Los Angeles reported, citing sources.

“They likely had no idea where they were,” the law enforcement source told the outlet.

Harris’ neighborhood is in the mandatory evacuation zone as the deadly fire pushes east toward the populated Los Angeles neighborhoods.

Well, that was a year, wasn’t it? While no one had a sitting president being booted off his party’s ticket while simultaneously witnessing the greatest political comeback since Grover Cleveland on their bingo card, we can all at least say 2024 didn’t have a dull moment…even when we wanted one.

As we look forward to 2025, let’s check out the background of the mirror one last time and rank the top 5 people who made 2024 a year that no one who lived through it will ever forget. 

In the weeks following the Democrats’ Waterloo, academics and journalists were quick to point to the body count of foreign leaders who have been felled by their electorates’ fickle loyalties over the last few years. After the defenestration of the Conservatives in the U.K., the once unbeatable ANC in South Africa, and even North Macedonia’s Social Democratic Union, Donald Trump’s return to power struck some commentators as simply the American adaptation of an unstoppable global trend.
