Quotes for our Times:

Byron York, chief political correspondent for The Washington Examiner: Harris's media gambit is working.

On the other part of Harris's strategy, the obfuscation of policy, Harris has succeeded spectacularly. There is now a media consensus that Harris has moderated some of her most left-leaning positions of the past, even though Harris herself has not announced any specific change. It has all been done by anonymous aides. Does that carry the weight of a statement from the candidate herself? Of course it doesn't. If Harris has really changed her views, rather than send up a trial balloon via a campaign aide, she should tell the voters herself.

Betsy McCaughey, Ph.D, former Lt. Governor of New York State and author of Beating Obamacare: Elon Musk Leads Parade of Tech Titans Boosting Trump as the True 'Freedom Candidate'.

Ending government censorship is a top Republican priority. The Biden-Harris administration has used agencies from the FBI to the Department of Health and Human Services to pressure social media to do the administration's bidding. The RNC platform pledges that federal interference will stop.

Musk wants 'to promote the principles that made America great in the first place,' naming meritocracy and free speech among the core ideas his America PAC is pushing.

They're not on Harris' agenda — more reasons tech money is moving to Trump.

You don't need AI to figure that out. David Marcus, columnist and author: Hidin' Harris 2024 is a terrible strategy and a danger for our democracy.

Maybe the sitting vice president has had sincere changes of heart in the past 38 days over the border wall she once called 'medieval,' and fracking, which she promised to ban, and Medicare for all, which she called for, and whether Bidenomics was a great success, but none of it counts until it passes through her lips.

Once she does say these things, if she does, once she mimics Trump policies like Shooter McGavin trying to copy Happy Gilmore’s run-up golf swing, we will be back to a normal American election of questions and answers that puts voters first.

Dan Gainor, freelance opinion editor for Fox News Digital: Media embrace a Kamala Harris ‘Femininomenon’ that is all about the ‘vibes’.

There is a difference, though. No one had to make up the fact that Kennedy, Clinton and Obama were all charismatic and strong speakers in public or even oneon- one. But in 2024, the Harris vibes have been so strong because she is so weak.

Journos are trying to force the issue because she has none of that, heaven help me, rizz. (Short for charisma, for anyone over 30.) It’s not just her cackles or the unwillingness to talk to reporters, or anyone else for that matter.
