2024 Presidential Election

J.D. Vance is following Donald Trump's lead and is blaming Kamala Harris for lives lost during the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan ... accusing the Vice President of being "asleep at the wheel."

The senator from Ohio took a shot at the Biden Administration's handling of the Afghanistan exit while speaking in Erie, Pennsylvania Wednesday ... seemingly laying blame on Joe Biden's VP, who is now running for president.

Vance's pointed the finger at Harris after he was asked about an incident at Arlington National Cemetery, where 2 Trump campaign staffers reportedly got into an altercation with a cemetery employee during the former prez's visit Monday, which was intended to honor victims.

Taylor Swift's dedicated fans are proving to be an unstoppable force for Kamala Harris' presidential campaign ... putting their superfan energy into some serious fundraising for the Vice President.

While Swift has yet to formally endorse a presidential candidate, countless Swifties have already converged behind Harris ... coming together for a virtual rally Tuesday evening, where over $120,000 was raised, with some big names making guest appearances.

In fact, Swifties for Kamala boasts raising more than $140,000 in total for Harris and Governor Tim Walz's bid for the White House.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. admits he was on the fence about meeting Donald Trump in person ... but it was his wife, Cheryl Hines, who nudged him into hearing him out. She's now reportedly uncomfortable with his decision to endorse the former president.

RFK Jr. dished on "The Tucker Carlson Show" that Trump’s team had been eyeing him for a while, and even considered naming him as VP running mate ... before ultimately choosing J.D. Vance.

Trump's team reached out to set up a meeting just hours after an attempt on Trump's life in Pennsylvania.

Donald Trump's got allies in the Democratic party who plan on throwing their support behind him publicly soon ... so says Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

The former candidate for president -- who officially suspended his campaign in battleground states Friday and threw his support behind Trump -- stopped by "Fox News Sunday" and promises DJT has some bipartisan support.

The convo starts with the host, Shannon Bream, sharing an excerpt from the Wall Street Journal published Friday saying Kennedy shouldn't be anywhere near Trump while he's campaigning ... especially on environmental issues.

Cheryl Hines is getting destroyed online for her husband Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s decision to endorse Donald Trump -- and there's good reason to believe that move is triggering a cold war in Cheryl's house.

Online trolls have been giving the “Curb Your Enthusiasm” star the business all weekend in the wake of RFK Jr.'s Friday endorsement of Trump ... and his flashy appearance with him at an Arizona rally.

Cheryl posted a thank you to RFK Jr.'s campaign staff, making zero mention of Trump -- still, she got dragged in the comments with one user asking, "Do you have a MAGA hat yet?" ... while another said, "Your legacy is on the line. If you don’t say anything, you will be remembered for supporting Trump.”

Kamala Harris is inspiring a possible superhero crossover ... 'cause "Wonder Woman" actress Lynda Carter may soon face off with "The Boys" character Homelander in support of the Democratic nominee.

Here's the deal ... a few days ago, Lynda tweeted she was putting up a Bat Signal for "Geeks and Nerds for Harris Walz" -- telling her fans to get behind the Dems for the upcoming election.

Welp, Eric Kripke -- creator of "The Boys" and hit fantasy show "Supernatural" -- responded to the tweet Sunday morning ... introducing himself, résumé first, to Lynda.

Sen. J.D. Vance does not regret his big swipe at "childless cat ladies" -- but does think everyone's missing the point he was trying to make with what he's now labeling a purely sarcastic remark.

Donald Trump's running mate got grilled about cat ladies Sunday morning on NBC's "Meet the Press," and said his only regret was that people took the comment the wrong way, and added ... "I'm a real person, I'm gonna make jokes, I'm gonna say things sarcastically."

Vance says what he was really getting at when he said it back in 2021, is that too many women don't feel like they can start families because it's too expensive. His reframing of "cat ladies" is that he and Trump will improve their lives, so they can have kids.

Kamala Harris is fully embracing the "Brat" tag Gen Z supporters, and Charli XCX, have put on her -- but Bill Maher just doesn't see it, and says the singer's actually describing Donald Trump to a T.

Bill dug into the Brat phenomenon on Friday's episode of 'Real Time' with his guest CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins -- fully unpacking the label for any boomers or Gen Xers who still don't get it. He read out Charli's definition ... “Just that girl who is a little messy and likes to party and maybe says some dumb things sometimes."

Maher argued all of that sounds way more like Trump, and, more to the point, he added ... "I don't want my president to be this!"

Donald Trump's habit of using famous artists' music at his rallies is about to backfire on him -- that's what the Foo Fighters are saying after he cranked one of their biggest hits ... without permission.

Trump brought out Robert F. Kennedy Jr. -- who ended his campaign and endorsed Trump -- Friday evening in Glendale, AZ while blaring FF's 1997 hit "My Hero," and while the pyrotechnics and music fired up the crowd ... it simply pissed off Dave Grohl and company.

Once the Foo caught wind of the wild scene in AZ, the band sent Trump a clear message: Don't do that!

Robert F. Kennedy's getting a feel for what life is like for another celeb who endorses Donald Trump ... because his first taste of a Trump rally has RFK looking like Hulk Hogan!!!

RFK Jr. just got called out to the stage at Trump's Friday rally in Glendale, Arizona ... and his entrance was straight out of the WWE playbook.

Trump bellowed Bobby's name, the crowd went nuts, the DJ cued up Foo Fighters' "My Hero" and out came RFK Jr. ... with a bunch of pyrotechnics lighting up the stage.

12:05 PM PT -- After 15 minutes of speaking, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced he's not terminating his run -- he's simply suspending the campaign.

He thanked all his volunteers across the country and campaign staff. He then handed his support to Donald Trump.

"We changed the national conversation forever," he said.

Pink put on a short, but sweet performance to close out the Democratic National Convention -- with a very special guest at her side -- and the crowd loved it.

The singer/songwriter hit the stage at the United Center for Thursday's fourth and final night of the DNC – and she was joined by her 13-year-old daughter Willow to crank out her hit "What About Us?"

During the rendition, Pink, Willow and several other entertainers -- including an acoustic guitarist -- sang the emotional lyrics of the tune.

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.
