Gov. Wes Moore says Democrats will hold the White House by selling voters on VP Kamala Harris' vision for the future -- and he explained why prosecuting Donald Trump on the campaign trail won't be enough.

Maryland's head honcho joined us Tuesday on "TMZ Live," and we asked him about the whirlwind 48 hours in the Democratic party, following Harris' rollout as the presumed presidential nominee.

As a co-chair on her campaign, he also told us what to expect from VP Harris heading into the DNC and Election Day.

Joe Biden might want to think twice about a potential golf face-off with Donald Trump ... No. 45 just recently hit the links with Bryson DeChambeau -- and he was so good, the U.S. Open champ couldn't believe his eyes.

The 78-year-old hooked up with the LIV Golf star sometime before he was nearly killed during a July 13 assassination attempt ... to film a video where the two would try to break a score of 50 on 18 holes from the most forward tees at one of Trump's courses.

The format for their game was simple -- they'd each hit their shots ... and whoever had the better one, they'd play from there. Normally -- in this kind of scramble -- DeChambeau's strokes would almost exclusively be used. But Trump was so locked in, the pair actually took a bunch of the former President's balls.

11:16 AM PT -- Joe Biden just boarded Air Force One -- and he walked out of his SUV with a mask in hand.

Of course, he was peppered with questions by reporters on hand -- who asked how he was feeling, and whether he thought Kamala Harris could beat Donald Trump. He replied with an inaudible answer and then went up the big stairs to get on the airplane. We'll see him in D.C. soon.

President Joe Biden is on the move -- surfacing in public for the first time since his COVID diagnosis ... and based on this video we just got, it looks like he's still playing it safe.

Life goes on for Thomas Matthew Crooks' father in the wake of his son's death following an assassination attempt on Donald Trump ... because he was just seen in public for the first time since the deadly rally.

Matthew Brian Crooks ventured out Monday in the family's Bethel Park, PA hometown ... stocking up on groceries and heading back to his car ... refusing to answer questions about his now-infamous son.

The Crooks patriarch told a Fox News Digital photog the family would release a statement when advised by their legal team ... and until then, they have no comment on anything.

Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle is throwing in the towel on her job at the federal agency -- this after the bungled attempted assassination of Donald Trump ... and all the scrutiny that's followed, TMZ has confirmed.

Cheatle tendered her resignation Tuesday effective immediately, just a day after she was on Capitol Hill getting grilled by lawmakers over the bungled security detail with Trump at his rally in Pennsylvania ... where he was shot by Thomas Matthew Crooks.

Multiple members of Congress demanded answers from Cheatle on what exactly went wrong that weekend -- and most of her responses were vague or unsatisfactory to the House members ... with many of them demanding she exit stage left since the buck stops with her.

George Clooney has thrown his support behind Kamala Harris ... which is really the least he could do after he penned an op-ed asking President Biden to exit the race.

Clooney endorsed the Vice President's new campaign in a statement shared with CNN Tuesday, where he praised Biden for being a true leader and "saving democracy once again."

He continued ... "We're all so excited to do whatever we can to support Vice President Harris in her historic quest."

Kamala Harris' campaign for president just got a major assist from Beyoncé -- and one of the singer's biggest hits!

A Harris confidante told CNN her team received prior authorization from Bey's reps to play the song.

President Biden is speaking up after bowing out of the 2024 election and endorsing Kamala Harris ... beaming into a campaign event and saying he made the right choice.

Kamala Harris fired up her campaign staffers with her first official speech as the Democratic front-runner -- and her first order of business ... calling Donald Trump criminal scum.

The Vice President touched down Monday in Wilmington, DE to swing by the Biden-Harris campaign headquarters ... which is now her show to run since President Biden endorsed her after bowing out of the 2024 race.

After a warm welcome from staffers, Kamala gave an address to the team -- and to the nation too, since it was broadcasted -- and she went straight for the jugular, comparing Trump to a predator, a fraudster and a cheater.

Rep. Eli Crane is checking out the perch where Thomas Matthew Crooks fired at Donald Trump ... and he's questioning how the shooter slipped past the Secret Service.

The Republican Congressman from Arizona is in Butler, PA investigating the scene of the Trump rally shooting ... and he's sharing video from the infamous sloped roof where Crooks opened fire on Trump before Secret Service countersnipers killed him.

A former Navy SEAL sniper himself, Rep. Crane disputes the Secret Service claim it didn't have personnel on the roof because of its slope ... and he's wondering why there wasn't a sniper posted on a nearby water tower, which offers a clear view of the roof where Crooks took up position.

Ana Navarro is putting George Clooney on blast after he called on President Biden to exit the election ... demanding the actor now show up for the Democratic Party in a big way.

Check it out, the political strategist sounded off on the A-lister during Monday's episode of "The View," where they discussed Biden's historic decision. Ana said she was mad, on behalf of Biden, as many of his friends dragged him for weeks and essentially forced his hand.

Specifically, she called out the donors who ran their mouths about Biden leading up to his exit ... and so, Ana said these people should thank POTUS by writing the party "a big check."

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is sounding off about his new Secret Service detail -- and, interestingly, the presidential candidate says he'd rather take his chances on his own.

The son of Robert F. Kennedy was on "TMZ Live" Monday when he candidly admitted he isn't a fan of having Secret Service agents on the campaign trail -- as he likes to interact with the public.

However, Kennedy -- whose father and uncle, John F. Kennedy, were both assassinated in the '60s -- conceded the Secret Service's protection is a necessity for the safety of his family, his staff and bystanders.

Big endorsement for Kamala Harris ... and this time it's Nancy Pelosi saying the veep should be the next President of the United States.

The House Speaker Emerita Pelosi offered a ringing endorsement for Kamala on Monday, saying her "enthusiastic" support for Kamala for prez is "official, personal and political."

Nancy and Kamala go way back in California politics and Pelosi says ... "Officially, I have seen Kamala Harris's strength and courage as a champion for working families, notably fighting for a woman’s right to choose."

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is joining lawmakers in grilling the director of the Secret Service -- and she thinks the timetable to investigate the Trump shooting is BS.

The NY congresswoman -- who's one of Trump's biggest critics, and seen as incredibly liberal -- shocked many from across the aisle after she too dogpiled Kimberly Cheatle during her testimony on Capitol Hill ... asking hard questions about the attempted assassination.

In addition to pointing out how much of a failure the security was that day -- AOC said she found it absolutely unacceptable that it'll take 60 days to get clear answers.

Rep. Nancy Mace believes President Joe Biden ending his reelection bid isn't enough ... she thinks the Prez should leave the Oval Office ASAP, and wants to force the issue too.

A photog caught up with the South Carolina congresswoman as she made her way to Capitol Hill on Monday, where she shared her candid opinion on Biden dropping out of the 2024 Presidential race ... and why it's more serious than people realize.

As NM put it ... we should be invoking the 25th amendment, which could see President Biden's powers transferred to Vice President Kamala Harris if he's declared unfit to serve.

President Biden delayed dropping out of the race in part because of concerns Vice President Kamala Harris could beat Donald Trump in November ... at least according to a new report.

Biden and his senior advisors worried whether or not Kamala had the chops to take on Trump and win ... and those concerns made POTUS hesitant to pull the plug on his reelection campaign.

Axios national political correspondent Alex Thompson cites 3 Biden aides in his report ... and he says Biden's "anxieties" are a reflection of a broader concern about Harris as the potential Democratic presidential nominee.
