2024 Presidential Election

Donald Trump is now going after Kamala Harris as his new would-be opponent come November -- and he's got a new nickname for her too ... even though it's technically old.

The ex-Prez is out in Charlotte, NC for a campaign rally ... and he's taking shots at the veep, who is presumably going to be the Democratic nominee instead of President Biden.

Trump told the crowd ... "So now we have a new victim to defeat, Lyin' Kamala Harris." He even spelled it out ... "L-Y-I-N apostrophe." Guess Trump didn't want folks thinking he was calling her "Lion Kamala Harris."

A guest on FOX Business suggested Vice President Kamala Harris slept her way to the top live on the air -- and he did so by invoking none other than the now-viral Haliey Welch.

Author Alec Lace went on the network earlier this month to talk shop, and it quickly became clear he was no fan of Dems or the VP, especially when he referenced her in very vulgar terms.

The shocking moment is just now going viral because of Harris' presidential campaign.

Watch ... Lace was trashing Kamala, calling her the "DEI Vice President" and saying the Democratic party's prospects are grim. Then, he called KH the "original Hawk Tuah girl."

Amber Rose whooping on Joseline Hernandez is a legendary reality TV fight that's never been seen ... until now, and the brawl relates to the reignited discussion about Amber's racial identity after her starring role at the Republican National Convention.

TMZ obtained footage showing what never made it on air during season 2 of "College Hill: Celebrity Edition" -- when Amber and Joseline got into a big scuffle on the show, which BET says it censored due to violence and out of respect for HBCUs. The show was recorded on the campus of Alabama State University.

The clip doesn't have audio, but you can see Amber and Joseline jawboning -- which was shown when the show aired -- and the argument was all about Amber's race.

Pete Buttigieg is fully onboard with getting Vice President Kamala Harris elected to the White House ... whether or not she selects him as her running mate.

President Biden's Secretary of Transportation is among the leading candidates to jump on the Harris ticket, and he joined us Wednesday on "TMZ Live" to field some questions about her campaign, and hypothetically, how he'd approach it as her veep.

Several frontrunners have already emerged ... with Buttigieg being a frequent name popping up online. While PB didn't directly state if he was interested in the position, he DID share with us his campaign strategy plan -- which centered solely on Kamala and her qualifications.

Donald Trump’s shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, sought inspiration -- or at least intel -- from JFK assassin Lee Harvey Oswald ... according to the FBI.

FBI Director Christopher Wray spilled the new detail Wednesday about Crooks while testifying in front of a Congressional Committee ... saying an analysis of Crooks' laptop shows he Googled "how far away was Oswald from Kennedy” on July 6 -- the same day Trump’s Butler, PA, rally was announced.

Wray also said July 6 was the same day Thomas signed up for the July 13 Butler rally ... adding his online searches were an obvious indicator about his state of mind.

The Secret Service is pleading with Donald Trump's campaign team to stop holding rallies outdoors in order to avoid any future danger from would-be assassins.

Sources familiar with the matter confirm the Secret Service has raised red flags about events like the one Trump held in Butler, PA -- and his team is taking the note, agreeing to keep things indoors for now.

We're told Trump’s team is now on the hunt for indoor venues like basketball arenas to pack in the crowds ... after previously favoring outdoor spots for their size and lower costs.

MSNBC host Joy Reid has a scathing message for Black people who may be waffling on supporting Kamala Harris for president, saying they'll get side-eye if they don't get onboard.

The TV personality took to TikTok Tuesday evening, where she declared Black voters will look "real weird" if they choose to not vote for the Vice President ... who's the presumptive Democratic nominee after President Biden exited the race.

As JR put it ... Kamala is a cultural phenomenon and set to make history as potentially the first female and first Asian-American president in the U.S. Of course, she'd also be the 2nd Black president if elected.

Kamala Harris held her first official campaign event as she dives into the presidential race -- and the momentum behind her is already swelling with excitement ... just watch this video.

President Biden's VP -- who's now the frontrunner for Dems after Joe dropped out -- hit the ground running Tuesday at a stop in Milwaukee ... where she eventually stepped up to the podium to deliver a rousing speech to a massive crowd.

As you can see ... KH was sharp, precise and focused in her remarks -- a stark contrast to some of Joe's public outings lately, and a good reminder of why JB bowed out of the race.

Shocking new body cam footage shows Thomas Michael Crooks lying dead with a stream of blood leaking out of his head on the rooftop of the Pennsylvania building where he tried to assassinate Donald Trump.

U.S. Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) released the footage capturing Secret Service agents chatting with law enforcement officers in military gear as they stood on the roof around Crooks' corpse minutes after the 20-year-old was shot to death by a sniper.

As you know, Crooks fired shots at Trump with AR-15-style rifle while the Republican presidential nominee was giving a stump speech in Butler, PA. Trump was grazed in his right ear while 3 spectators were also shot -- one fatally.

Celine Dion is set to return to stage, George Clooney is getting behind Kamala Harris and Tiger Woods is showing off some gnarly scars ... all this on today's TMZ TV Hot Takes.

On "TMZ Live" Harvey and Charles have all the details on Celine's big return to music, now that she's set to perform at Friday's opening ceremony for the Paris Olympics.

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.

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.

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."

Bella Hadid is gearing up for a fight, Montel Williams is kinda endorsing Kamala Harris and Kobe Bryant's got some unique memorabilia up for sale ... all this on TMZ TV Hot Takes.

First up on "TMZ Live" Harvey and Charles explain why Bella is lawyering up after a controversial Adidas ad campaign sparked a wave of backlash.
