1/ **Kamala Harris has the support of enough Democratic delegates to win the party’s nomination for president**. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries – the top two Democrats in Congress – have also endorsed her for president. “When I announced my campaign for president, I said I intended to go out and earn this nomination,” Harris said in a statement. “Tonight, I am proud to have secured the broad support needed to become our party’s nominee. I look forward to formally accepting the nomination soon.” Separately, Harris laid out her vision for the country during her first campaign rally in Wisconsin as the presumptive Democratic nominee, saying: “This campaign is also about two different visions for our nation, one where we are focused on the future, the other focused on the past." Harris also highlighted her record as a prosecutor while attacking Trump's legal issues, saying: "I will proudly put my record against his any day of the week \[...\] I took on perpetrators of all kinds: predators who abused women, fraudsters who ripped off consumers, cheaters who broke the rules for their own gain. So hear me when I say: I know Donald Trump’s type.” ([CNN](https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/kamala-harris-biden-trump-election-07-23-24/index.html) / [New York Times](https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/22/us/politics/kamala-harris-trump-2024-election.html) / [Politico](https://www.politico.com/news/2024/07/22/kamala-harris-has-enough-verbal-commitments-to-secure-democratic-nomination-00170535) / [NBC News](https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/democratic-leaders-chuck-schumer-hakeem-jeffries-endorse-harris-presid-rcna163249) / [ABC News](https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/live-updates/biden-drops-out-updates/?id=112113289) / [Bloomberg](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-07-23/schumer-jeffries-to-endorse-kamala-harris-for-president?sref=MIBMEEoj) / [Wall Street Journal](https://www.wsj.com/politics/elections/democrats-new-attack-trump-old-age-1e765b20?mod=hp_lead_pos7) / [CNN](https://www.cnn.com/2024/07/22/politics/kamala-harris-delegates-democratic-presidential-nomination/) / [New York Times](https://www.nytimes.com/live/2024/07/23/us/harris-trump-news-election-biden))

2/ **Trump's running mate, JD Vance, claimed that the Democrats are "a threat to democracy" because Biden voluntarily stepping down as the party's nominee after his poor debate performance**. Vance, without evidence, claimed that Harris “lied” about Biden’s condition and that “elite Democrats” in “smoke-filled rooms” pushed for Biden to leave the race. “That is not how it works. That is a threat to democracy, not the Republican Party, which is fighting for democracy every single day,” Vance said during his first solo rally in Ohio. “This is not OK,” adding it was an "insult to voters." Vance’s comments followed state Sen. George Lang warning the audience of an impending “civil war” should Trump lose in November. Trump, meanwhile, is the first former president to be convicted of a felony when a jury in Manhattan found him guilty of 34 counts in May, he’s been charged with 37 felonies in connection with his removal of classified documents from the White House when he left office, charged with four felonies in connection with his attempt to remain in power after losing the 2020 presidential election, and faces racketeering charges in connection with efforts to overturn the election results in Georgia.

3/ **At age 78, Trump is now the oldest presidential nominee in U.S. history following Biden’s exit from the race**. As president, Trump [released](https://whatthefuckjusthappenedtoday.com/2018/01/16/day-362/#7-the-white-house-doctor-said-trump) a [report](https://whatthefuckjusthappenedtoday.com/2019/02/14/day-756/) that showed he [had](https://whatthefuckjusthappenedtoday.com/2020/05/19/day-1216/#2-white-house-press-secretary-kaylei) heart disease and was obese, but as a candidate he’s refused to release bloodwork results, his weight, or other key information. Instead, Trump has released a vague, three-paragraph letter from his primary care physician that said he was in excellent physical and mental health. A recent poll found that 60% of Americans said Trump is too old for another term as president.
