This Sunday’s news shows will most likely focus on Vice President Harris’ presidential campaign.
Harris became the leading Democratic presidential candidate after President Biden dropped out of the 2024 race last week and endorsed her. After the president ended his reelection campaign, Harris quickly secured key endorsements and a huge amount of fundraising.
The vice president is a strong contender for the Democratic nomination, which has led to speculation about who her running mate could be. Others who have been mentioned as possible candidates for the position include Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro (D), Kentucky Governor Andy Besha (D), Minnesota Governor Tim Walz (D), Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, Arizona Senator Mark Kelly (D) and North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper (D).
Buttigieg, who is scheduled to appear on “Fox News Sunday” this week, pushed back against attacks on Harris in a podcast released Saturday that targeted her for claiming she was hired on diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives.
“Well, I think those attacks give the Republican Party a bad reputation,” Buttigieg said.
“And then you have someone like (House Speaker) Mike Johnson (R-La.), who is a very, very conservative figure, and I think when he, as the speaker of the House, says to his delegation, ‘Hey, it’s OK,’ he’s basically saying that they’re embarrassing the party and acknowledging that they’re diminishing the party’s chances by indulging in that rhetoric.”
Like his presumed running mate Harris, Walz is scheduled to appear on CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday. Walz and former President Trump recently sparred over the Minnesota Democrat’s appearance on Fox News earlier this week.
“Listen to this small-town guy: Donald Trump doesn’t know anything about rural America,” Walz wrote in a post Tuesday on the social platform X. “That’s why he’s going to lose Minnesota. And he’s going to lose Wisconsin. And he’s going to lose Michigan. And he’s going to lose Pennsylvania.”
As Democrats’ enthusiasm for Haas’s campaign grew, Republicans attacked the vice president. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) said that after Biden dropped out of the race, “it was predictable that the corporate media would give his successor hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of glowing coverage.”
“They’re trying to do that to Kamala, and it won’t work. She’s too empty, too liberal, and too incompetent to get voters to believe a fabricated narrative,” DeSantis, who will appear as one of several guests on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures” this week, continued in a post to X on Monday, according to a post to X.
