2024 Presidential Election

Kamala Harris is ripping Donald Trump as an unserious man ... but she says the threat he poses to America is very real ... and she says he's out of his mind.

The Vice President blasted Trump in accepting the Democratic nomination for president Thursday on the final night of the DNC at the United Center in Chicago.

Harris was coasting through her speech when she finally turned her sights on her November opponent ... warning a second Trump presidency would be devastating to Americans, particularly the middle class.

6:02 PM PT -- Steph's video endorsement just played at the DNC ... and he says Harris is right for the Oval Office because she will unite America and move the country forward.

Wearing his gold medal from Paris, Steph explained why he believes Harris is the right choice for president in 2024 ... calling on folks to hit the polls in November like never before.

Kamala Harris is about to pick up an endorsement from an American hero ... Steph Curry!!!

The NBA star, who just led Team USA to a gold medal in basketball at the Paris Olympics, is going to endorse Harris for president with a surprise video message that will air Thursday during the Democratic National Convention ... DNC officials tell TMZ.

Curry's got a few connections to Harris ... they hung out this summer when Team USA was in Las Vegas preparing for the Olympics ... and Steph's played his entire NBA career for the Golden State Warriors, the home team for the San Francisco Bay Area and Oakland ... where Kamala was born and where she served as District Attorney.

9:30 PM PT -- To quote the great Beyoncé: We gotta lay our cards down, down, down ... we got this one wrong.

Beyoncé is in Chicago, and getting ready to pop out for Kamala Harris on the final night of the Democratic National Convention ... TMZ has learned.

Multiple sources in the know tell us Queen Bey will be the big surprise performer as VP Harris officially accepts the Democratic party's nomination to run for president.

J.D. Vance's appearance at a Georgia donut shop wasn't as sweet as the pastries he bought ... 'cause he sure had an awkward chat with an employee who appeared less than impressed.

The Republican nominee for vice president was in Valdosta, Georgia for a rally Thursday ... and, he stopped by Holt's Sweet Shop, where he ordered 2 dozen donuts with a gaggle of press following him around.

Vance put in his order ... and, check out the clip, 'cause the woman at the counter immediately asks not to be shown on camera. Vance makes a point of telling the press to cut her out of their vids.

Mindy Kaling's proving the only topic more popular than the Democratic National Convention is Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez's divorce ... giving it a subtle shout-out during her speech.

The actress took the stage at the United Center in Chicago Wednesday night, representing her home state of Massachusetts at the DNC ... where she called out another famous resident of the Bay State.

She quipped ...  "I couldn’t leave here without giving a shout-out to the amazing delegation from my home state, Massachusetts. I love you, Massachusetts! Everyone is always hating on us! But they just don’t get it! Go Sox! Go Jayson Tatum! Ben Affleck, hang in there!"

7:25 AM PT -- The woman who went viral online when the camera's panned to her during Oprah Winfrey's speech has spoken out on X writing, "Damn right this childless cat lady is 100% disgusted by J.D. Vance in general and 100% behind @KamalaHarris and @GovTimWalz! Also I may be childless but I do hope that's not a permanent condition, thanks!"

Oprah Winfrey took a swipe at J.D. Vance during her speech at the Democratic National Convention, slamming the Republican VP candidate for his infamous "childless cat ladies" comment.

The legendary talk show host hit the stage at the DNC in Chicago, covering a range of issues, but it was her dig at J.D. that really won the crowd over Wednesday night.

Gov. Tim Walz's big moment at the DNC brought the crowd to its feet, especially his 17-year-old son ... whose emotional reaction to his dad's speech became a real tearjerker moment.

Gus Walz sat front and center Wednesday night in Chicago, and he just couldn't hold back his emotions in the moment -- breaking into tears and screaming "That's my dad!" during the speech.

Check out the clip ... Gus -- who has a non-verbal learning disorder, ADHD and anxiety -- jumped to his feet clapping loudly and pointing with his mother Gwen and sister Hope sitting beside him.

Donald Trump's not backing off personal attacks ... remarking the Obamas were "taking shots" at him at the DNC -- so, why should he stick to policy?

The former POTUS took the stage in North Carolina Wednesday afternoon ... name-dropping Barack Hussein Obama -- using his presidential predecessor's full name -- and saying BO hit him with some touchy personal attacks.

ICYMI ... Former Prez Obama took a swing at the Republican presidential nominee during his DNC speech in Chicago Tuesday night -- saying Trump's been whining about his own problems since jumping in the political arena years ago -- pointing out he's more obsessed with crowd sizes than instituting real change.

The Democratic National Convention has been absolutely star-studded, and at least 2 more A-listers will take the stage on Wednesday night ... Stevie Wonder and Kenan Thompson.

DNC officials tell TMZ ... Stevie Wonder will be performing one of his hit songs, sure to energize an already rambunctious crowd in Chicago.

This won't be Stevie's first rodeo at a DNC ... he performed at the 2008 convention in Denver, playing hits like "Signed, Sealed Delivered (I'm Yours)." It's unclear what song he'll play tonight.

We're also told Stevie will take the podium and deliver a speech.

No cutting corners for Donald Trump’s first outdoor rally since the July attempt on his life -- the Secret Service is going all out with bulletproof glass and other measures to make sure the former president is safe and sound.

In addition to bulletproof glass at today’s Asheboro rally at the North Carolina Aviation Museum, there’s a fortress of portable storage units and moving trucks stacked up behind the media riser.

The extra security ensures anyone not attending the rally would be stuck with a blocked view -- absolutely no peeking from a distance.

Michelle Obama took a buzz saw to Donald Trump during her Democratic National Convention speech Tuesday, unloading a savage attack on the Republican presidential nominee to the rousing applause of the packed crowd.

The former First Lady and wife of the 44th President Barack Obama hit the stage for night 2 of the DNC -- and she couldn’t hide her contempt when she started talking about Trump and his racist rhetoric.

In perhaps the most memorable moment, Michelle told the audience that she and her husband know a little something about Trump trying to make people fear them.

Kamala Harris has her share of celeb endorsements ... but Lil Jon was the real MVP Tuesday night, cranking up the energy and hyping up the crowd during the Democratic National Convention roll call.

The rapper repping Georgia made an unexpected splash in Chicago ... dropping a few bars from his 2013 anthem, "Turn Down For What" -- electrifying the vibes with his musical salute.

The party didn’t stop there -- he also busted out "VP Harris … Governor Walz," set to the tune of another of his hits, "Get Low."

Hulk Hogan is not turning down the temperature on political violence ... 'cause he's talking about performing one of his famous wrestling moves on Kamala Harris ... though he's blaming it on alcohol.

The Hulkster was at the Thirsty Cowboy in Medina, Ohio promoting his new beer Monday night when he grabbed the mic and started firing up the crowd ... and things quickly flew off the rails.

Hulk asked the place ... "Want me to body-slam Kamala Harris? Want me to drop the leg on Kamala?" Check out the video, obtained by TMZ Sports -- the crowd eats it all up.

Hillary Clinton could barely contain her glee when the Democratic National Convention erupted in a "Lock him up" chant after a pointed dig at Donald Trump ... and she appeared to revel in the karma.

The chant -- a remix of the "Lock her up" motto used by Trump and his supporters in the 2016 presidential election -- bubbled up from the crowd in Chicago and kept building ... after the former Secretary of State called out the former prez's multiple felony convictions.

While Clinton didn't address the crowd's outburst directly, she did take a moment to pause at the podium ... where she surveyed the masses, smiled and nodded as they continued.

If Kamala Harris takes down Donald Trump in November's election, Steve Kerr says he's going to rip a page out of Steph Curry's playbook -- and wish Trump, "Night, night!"

The Golden State Warriors head coach threw out the trolling vow on Monday evening at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago -- where he helped Michael Jordan and the Bulls win a slew of NBA Championships a few decades ago.

Kerr stood at the podium for nearly 10 minutes ... and raved over Harris and her pick for vice president, Tim Walz.

The working title of President Joe Biden's farewell speech at the DNC: I Got Yer Sleepy Joe Right Here!

Well, it could've been, because, ironically, the guy who was forced out of running for another term, mostly due to a horrific late-night performance at the first presidential debate ... didn't even start speaking to the Democratic National Convention until after 10 PM in Chicago.

Biden's speech, coming on the first night of the DNC, was -- as expected -- a scathing attack on Donald Trump, a firm endorsement of his VP Kamala Harris' presidential campaign ... and also his swan song from American politics.
