UNITED STATES

Vice President Kamala Harris has gone 100 days as the presumptive, and now, official Democratic nominee for president without holding an official press conference. Trump has held six news conferences where he took questions from the media since the beginning of August. Harris has done brief, informal press gaggles this week with the media while on the campaign trail, including on Monday when she criticized the tone and rhetoric at Trump’s rally in New York City over the weekend.Harris also ended her streak of not appearing on Fox News earlier this month, sitting for an interview in Pennsylvania with chief political anchor Bret Baier. She also did a CNN town hall and interviews last week with NBC News, Telemundo and CBS.KAMALA HARRIS ASSERTS HER PRESIDENCY ‘WILL NOT BE A CONTINUATION’ OF BIDEN’SHarris has stepped up her interviews in recent weeks, including doing radio hits, friendly appearances with “The View,” Stephen Colbert and Howard Stern and other media appearances.But as for when she’ll actually do a formal press conference as a candidate, that day may never come, at least while she’s still a candidate.Conservative Radio Libre host Jorge Bonilla feels Harris should do a press conference but said it’s almost “irrelevant” because she continues to get a pass. HARRIS DODGES QUESTION ON LOWERING PRICES BY DESCRIBING ‘MIDDLE-CLASS’ ROOTS: NEIGHBORS ‘PROUD OF THEIR LAWN’”She is highly unlikely to do a press conference because the media have enabled and encouraged her ‘plexiglass basement’ strategy, wherein she preserves the illusion of being out there while remaining wholly inaccessible to the press and therefore unaccountable,” Bonilla told Fox News Digital.Trump has skipped several potential interviews in recent weeks, but he showed up at the annual Al Smith dinner that has historically featured the presidential candidates doing lighthearted roasts. Harris decided not to attend, sending a video message instead.CBS NEWS BREAKS ITS SILENCE OVER EDITING ALLEGATIONS IN ‘60 MINUTES’ INTERVIEW WITH HARRISHarris also did an interview this month on “60 Minutes” that has generated controversy due to the show’s editing choices with an answer she gave to a question about Israel. In a preview of the interview on Oct. 6, CBS aired one portion of her answer but appeared to air a completely different part of it during the actual special on Oct. 7.Fox News Digital’s Paul Steinhauser contributed to this report.

So, Trump is, by most accounts, leading in the polls. Suddenly Hispanics are calling voting Republican “mucho caliente,” which in English translates to very hot or Greg Gutfeld. The Jewish vote may go more Republican than any time since Ronald Reagan, which is weird since Trump is Hitler.And a series of so-called conservatives have either been relegated to the nut house or revealed themselves as self-centered phonies. Exhibit A, The Washington Post’s conservative columnist Jennifer Rubin. Rubin’s a long-time WaPo columnist who’s claimed to be conservative for years, but even for years before, she was anything but. As a labor lawyer for decades, she was described as a “straight ahead Hollywood lib.” Still, with great fanfare, the Post welcomed her aboard as their token righty. A female conservative?! It was like finding a BLM member who’s into Dave Matthews. So here is the Post’s vaunted conservative speaking on MSNBC.JENNIFER RUBIN: The person who is incoherent and unable to string together a sentence is not President Biden, it’s former President Trump. We have an entire political party that is devoted to a criminal defendant, someone who tried to overthrow our democracy. We have a party that has betrayed America. I think it’s malpractice for the journalistic troops not to begin asking questions about Trump’s sanity, his mental and emotional status. He sounds nuts.Yeah, she’s a conservative, and I’m Lizzo’s late night booty call. Could be. Once again, the Donald Trump effect has exposed another lying fraud. Last week, Rubin took to her X account to support L.A. Times editorial board members who resigned because that paper wouldn’t endorse Kamala. Brava, Rubin writes in response to one woman quitting. “That is courage. And shame on her boss for not joining her.” “Bravo, all respect,” she says to another, and then added, “Where are the rest of them?” Now, apparently, self-awareness is not Rubin’s strong point, because literally, as Rubin was writing that, her own paper was also refusing to endorse Kamala Harris while still signing Rubin’s paychecks, which clearly she doesn’t spend on hair and makeup. But maybe she doesn’t even read that rag, the one that she works and writes for. So now both the editorial board and its union members at WaPo revolted. But what of the revolting Rubin, who shamed LA Times writers for not quitting? USA TODAY ANNOUNCES IT WILL NOT ENDORSE IN 2024 RACE FOLLOWING WASHINGTON POST, LA TIMESWhere is her own resignation letter, you googly-eyed, snaggle face. Or does playing fake conservative pay too well? But hey, if you resigned, I’m sure there’s room for you in the oats filled trough at The View. But we know she won’t. This woman is about as authentic as the meat at Arby’s. But it’s not just about Rubin, who, in truth, really doesn’t matter. Fact is, Trump is forcing all these people into showing who they really are. From fakes like Rubin to Democrat operatives at the L.A. Times and The Washington Post posing as journalists. It’s like Trump flipped on the light in the kitchen at 2 in the morning, and all these cockroaches went scurrying every which way. Although, over at CNN, captain poppin fresh pulls out a new phrase.CNN’S BRIAN STELTER: The overarching story here is about a concern that billionaires like Bezos might be rolling over and appeasing Donald Trump even before the Election Day actually rolls around. This is known by some scholars as anticipatory obedience. The idea that some people obey in advance to curry favor with aspiring authoritarians.Somebody has Wikipedia. “Anticipatory obedience.” Sounds like Stelter when he finds a Big Mac on the street. Trump, you see, is like political truth serum. All those people who spent years saying their journalism is purely objective now come out and rage that their office didn’t pick a side. But while all this nonsense is going on, Trump is working harder than Joy Behar’s flea and tick collar. He did a three-hour interview with Rogan on Friday. Just imagine either Joe or Kamala doing that.Three hours? That’s how long it takes Joe to empty his bladder and that’s with the Visiting Angel milking him. Sorry. I don’t even know if that’s how it works. Just how long would it take Kamala to answer a yes or no question? She’s about as quick on her feet as Daniel Day-Lewis and my left foot. Trump also did a rally here in Manhattan, a city bluer than a Smurf’s balls on prom night, where noted white supremacists, the New York Knicks, played tonight. Must have been hard to see under all those hoods. But much to MSNBC’s sadness, no Nazis. If they want to hear “death to the Jews,” they’ll have to take the subway uptown to the Columbia campus. But inside the arena, there’s no rage. The vibe was celebratory. The Trump effect once again showing the country who people really are. They’re making America great again while Kamala’s cronies are making updates to their resumes. I hear they’re hiring at McDonald’s. Maybe the Veep could put in a good word for you.

FIRST ON FOX: Twenty-six Republican attorneys general joined Virginia on Monday in urging the Supreme Court to halt a lower court decision that restored the voting rights of 1,600 residents.The amicus brief backs Virginia’s contention that the ruling is overly broad and lacks standing under a provision of the National Voter Registration Act (NRVA), which orders states to halt all “systematic” voter roll maintenance 90 days before an election. It now has the support of every Republican-led U.S. state, giving it outsize attention in the final stretch before the election.In the amicus brief, attorneys general urged the court to grant Virginia’s emergency motion and “restore the status quo,” noting that doing so “would comply with the law and enable Virginia to ensure that noncitizens do not vote in the upcoming election.”The states also sided with Virginia in objecting to the Justice Department’s reading of NVRA protections, which they said was overly broad.Moreover, they said, the law in place in Virginia was not designed to “systematically” remove residents from the voter rolls, as Justice Department officials cited in their lawsuit earlier this month.The Justice Department had argued the removals were conducted too close to the Nov. 5 elections and violated the “quiet period” provision under NVRA. That contention was backed by a federal judge in Alexandria, which ordered the affected voters back on the rolls, and upheld by the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals.SWING-STATE’S SUPREME COURT ISSUES PIVOTAL RULING ON MAIL-IN BALLOTS SENT WITHOUT POSTMARK
In the amicus brief, lawyers describe the ruling as a “sweeping interpretation of the NVRA” that “converts a procedural statute into a substantive federal regulation of voter qualifications in elections—an interpretation that would raise serious questions about the constitutionality of the NVRA itself.”Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin has insisted the voters were removed legally and that the removal process is based on precedent from a 2006 state law enacted by then-Gov. Tim Kaine, a Democrat. That process compared the state Department of Motor Vehicles’ noncitizens list to its list of registered voters. Those without citizenship were then informed that their voter registration would be canceled unless they could prove their citizenship in 14 days.Youngkin and Virginia Attorney General Jason S. Miyares have argued the lower court rulings are “individualized” and not systematic, as the Justice Department alleged earlier this month. They argued that restoring them just days before an election is likely to inject new chaos into the voting process – an argument backed by the group of Republican states in the Monday filing.WHY TRUMP IS MAKING LAST-MINUTE STOPS AHEAD OF ELECTION DAY IN TWO BLUE-LEANING STATESYOUNGKIN VOWS TO APPEAL ‘TO SCOTUS’ AFTER US JUDGE ORDERS 1,600 VOTERS BACK ON BALLOT”This Court should reject Respondents’ effort to change the rules in the middle of the game and restore the status quo ante,” they wrote. “The Constitution leaves decisions about voter qualifications to the people of Virginia. And the people of Virginia have decided that noncitizens are not permitted to vote.”Get the latest updates from the 2024 campaign trail, exclusive interviews and more at our Fox News Digital election hub.

Gisele Bündchen is pregnant with her third child, her first with boyfriend Joaquim Valente, according to a report. On Monday, a source told People magazine: “Gisele and Joaquim are happy for this new chapter in their life and they’re looking forward to creating a peaceful and loving environment for the whole family.”Bündchen began dating Valente, a jiu jitsu instructor, in June 2023, roughly seven months after her divorce with Tom Brady was finalized.TOM BRADY, GISELE BUNDCHEN DIVORCE MOCKED DURING NETFLIX COMEDY ROAST OF RETIRED QUARTERBACKBündchen and Brady share son Benjamin, 14, and daughter Vivian, 11. Since finalizing their divorce in Oct. 2022, the former couple has prioritized co-parenting their two children. Brady is also dad to son Jack, 17, with Bridget Moynahan; Bündchen has called herself a “bonus mom” to Jack.In March, Bündchen made comments on some challenges she has faced since entering a co-parenting relationship with the retired NFL star.GISELE BUNDCHEN IS PREGNANT, EXPECTING BABY WITH BOYFRIEND JOAQUIM VALENTE AFTER TOM BRADY DIVORCE: REPORT”I think, you know, there’s easier days than other[s], but I think, you know, it’s amazing that the kids — they’re super smart children,” she joked on ABC’S “Impact x Nightline” with Robin Roberts at the time. “They know what they can get away with. So I think it’s natural that [they have] different rules and then kids just adapt. And they’re gonna try to do what they want, and I can only control what I do,” she explained. “I think, for me, now it’s really about the balance.””Tom has time with them and I have time with them, which I think is amazing,” she said of their custody agreement. Bündchen believes that the split time has been “more enriching” for the children. “They get to learn from two different worlds and that’s wonderful for them.”In an interview with Harper’s Bazaar earlier this year, the Brazilian-born beauty alluded to her and Brady’s different parenting styles. Speaking about the starkly different circumstances in which she and her children were raised, Bündchen wants to ensure they have skills to thrive on their own. “‘The way you make your room, the way you organize and make your bed is the way you’re going to do your life,’” she admitted she’s told her children. “‘If you’re not learning here and now, then when and with who?’ LIKE WHAT YOU’RE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWS”Sometimes, I get pushback, especially because now they’re in two different homes and there are two different ways. But I feel like I owe it to my kids, because of what my mom taught me,” she said of her children, who go back and forth between their parents.In June, Brady spoke about co-parenting with Bündchen, admitting he thought they’d “done an amazing job.””I think, for me, when you decide to have children, that’s a big undertaking, and I don’t think you take it lightly. And I think these kids that come up under your roof, you want to provide them with values, so that when they move forward in their life, they have a real solid base and foundation,” Brady told Entertainment Tonight. “And I think myself and their mom have done an amazing job of providing that.”We’re never a finished product. The kids aren’t finished products. At the end of the day, we’re learning along with them. And all you can do is the best you can do with the opportunities that you have, and the challenges you have, and we all have unique challenges to our life that we deal with.”Benjamin, the former couple’s oldest child, was born on Dec. 8, 2009. Bündchen had him in a home birth, which she previously shared that Brady was initially against.”It was a home birth and it was funny because he didn’t want me to have a home birth,” she shared on ESPN+’s “Man in the Arena: Tom Brady” in Dec. 2021. “He was like, ‘Absolutely not,’ and I was like, ‘Excuse me, you don’t get to choose that, it’s my body.'”In Sept. 2023, Bündchen told People magazine that her son was following in his father’s footsteps and took an interest in football. Benjamin even chose to wear No. 12 on his jersey, which was a nod to Brady.”Benny’s doing football,” she told the outlet at the time. “He just started, and his first game was so nice. It was nice to go because I had all the little friends come to me and be like, ‘Oh my God, I love Benny. I love Vivi. They’re so nice. He helped me with this.'”She added, “It makes me proud to see how they’re all becoming their own little individual selves, but how their principles and their values are so strong. It makes me so happy to see that they’re flourishing into their own beings.”CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTERBündchen and Brady’s daughter, Vivian, was born on Dec. 5, 2012. As her daughter gears up to enter her teenage years, Bündchen joked about what it’s really like to raise pre-teens and teenagers on “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon” in March.”You wait,” Bündchen joked. “I mean, it’s amazing having teenagers and pre-teens, but…” She noted that “you learn so much” when you have children around that age.”The most important thing [is] you have to make time to have conversations, because, I think, you know, they are changing, every day is a whole new world,” she said. “And it’s so important to kind of talk, it’s a huge thing.”In 2012, Brady told ESPN: “I grew up in a house with three sisters. I think it’s great for my boys to have a girl in the house, just to understand at least a little bit about what makes a woman tick — not that I can certainly figure that out because I can’t. She’s a beautiful little girl.”APP USERS CLICK HERE FOR INSTAGRAM POSTMore recently, Brady told Entertainment Tonight in 2016 that his only daughter has him wrapped around his finger. “It’s the worst — well, it’s not the worst for me, I think it’s the worst for my wife who’s trying to instill some discipline in her and I just give her whatever she wants. But isn’t that what men are supposed to do for daughters?” he said at the time.Brady also shares son Jack, 17, with his ex, Bridget Moynahan. The former couple welcomed their son in 2007, shortly after they broke up in 2006.At the time of Jack’s birth, Brady had already entered a relationship with Bündchen and told Howard Stern in 2020 that Moynahan’s pregnancy shocked him.APP USERS CLICK HERE FOR INSTAGRAM POST”Next thing you know, I found out that Bridget was pregnant with our son,” he said at the time. “So that was a very unique time … and it challenged me in a lot of ways, again, to grow up in a different way. It was very hard for my wife to think she fell in love with this guy, and then now this guy’s ex-girlfriend’s pregnant.””And it was very challenging for my son’s mom, you know, because she didn’t envision that either,” Brady added.In 2015, Bündchen admitted that she considered leaving Brady after learning his ex-girlfriend was pregnant.”It was a challenging thing because here I am, I’m dating this guy, everything is great and then this happens,” she said on CBS’ “This Morning’s Charlie Rose.” “So, then I felt like I didn’t know what to do… Do I just run away?”At the time, she said she couldn’t see life without Jack in it. “I think, now, eight years later, I couldn’t have asked for a sweeter bonus child,” Bündchen said.In February 2020, Gisele told her Instagram followers that she doesn’t like being called Jack’s “step mom.””I like the word ‘bonus mom’ because I feel like it’s a blessing in my life. I feel so lucky that I got to have an extra wonderful little angel in my life,” she said at the time, according to People.Fox News Digital’s Caroline Thayer contributed to this report.
