Kamala Harris has endorsed Joe Biden’s push for supreme court reforms, which include term limits for justices, a binding code of conduct, and the removal of immunity for crimes committed by a president while in office. Harris believes these reforms will restore confidence in the court and ensure that no one is above the law. In addition to this, Harris has also gained endorsements from mayors of border towns in Arizona, aiming to counter Republican criticism of her handling of illegal border crossings.
The House speaker, Mike Johnson, and minority leader, Hakeem Jeffries, have announced a bipartisan task force to investigate the assassination attempt against Donald Trump. The task force includes seven Republicans and six Democrats, with Republican Congressman Mike Kelly serving as the chair.
As the strict six-week abortion ban takes effect in Iowa, Governor Tim Walz of Minnesota has extended a welcome to Iowa residents in need of reproductive healthcare. Two potential running mates for Kamala Harris, Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania and JB Pritzker of Illinois, have condemned the Iowa law and offered support to affected residents. Meanwhile, questions have arisen about Donald Trump’s running mate, JD Vance, after the release of emails where he criticized Trump and expressed dislike for the police.
Overall, these political developments highlight a mix of reforms, endorsements, and controversial laws that are shaping the current landscape of American politics.
