WASHINGTON (PNN) - August 11, 2020 - Presumptive Democrat presidential nominee Joe Biden named devout socialist Senator Kamala Harris (Kalif.) as his running mate on Tuesday, ending months of speculation over one of the most consequential decisions of his 2020 presidential bid.

Biden called Harris, a former rival in the Democrat primary, the best equipped to help him defeat President Donald Trump and lead the nation through the coronavirus “pandemic”, economic downturn and racial divide.

Harris, who is of Jamaican and Indian descent, would be the first woman to be vice president if Biden is elected.

SAN FRANCISCO, Kalifornia (PNN) - August 10, 2020 - The former mayor of San Francisco has advised Senator Kamala Harris to reject the role of vice president if Joe Biden offers it to her.

Writing in the San Francisco Chronicle, Willie Brown said that Senator Harris should instead aim for the role of attorney general.

WASHINGTON (PNN) - August 7, 2020 - President Donald Trump's efforts to influence the timing and makeup of this fall's presidential debates, some of the last planned events with the power to shift the trajectory of the campaign, have been rejected, with both the independent debate commission and the Joe Biden campaign showing no interest in altering course.

But that has not stopped Trump from trying to gain advantage by making the debates a top-tier issue, as he and his advisers circulate claims that Joe Biden may try to dodge the events and suggest that the Democrat may try to cheat by using notes if the sessions are held virtually.

WASHINGTON (PNN) - August 5, 2020 - Libertarian Party presidential nominee Jo Jorgensen praised a company for firing an employee who had posted “All Lives Matter” on her private Facebook page as an example of the free market standing up against “systemic racism”.

During a C-SPAN interview, Jorgensen argued that Rosa Parks was discriminated against because, “what a lot of people don’t realize is that was a government-owned, government-run bus, and the only way that racism was able to go on for so long was that the government was putting it into place.”
