President Joe Biden is trying to solidify his legacy and Kamala Harris is narrowing her running mate choices with 99 days to go until the presidential election.

Biden, 81, has called for an overhaul of the Supreme Court with a three-step plan that includes a constitutional amendment targeting Donald Trump.

The fallout from the Trump assassination attempt continues to intensify after the release of explosive text messages between counter-snipers suggesting they were aware of the presence of shooter Thomas Crooks 90 minutes before he opened fire.

Kamala Harris narrows her list of VP candidates to three

Kamala Harris has narrowed her search for a running mate to a list of three top Democrats, reports suggest.

The vice president has two weeks to choose who will join her on her ticket and has been frantically considering candidates who will face Donald Trump and JD Vance in November.

She considered a wide range of elected members of the Democratic Party, but is now believed to have focused on a trio of the country’s most popular figures.

Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz are currently the frontrunners in the campaign, Bloomberg reported.

Shapiro and Kelly are believed to be the candidates Republicans fear most heading into the general election.

They both come from key states that will determine the outcome of the election.

Biden announces sweeping three-step Supreme Court overhaul, including constitutional amendment targeting Trump

President Joe Biden has called for sweeping reforms to the Supreme Court, including term limits, a binding code of conduct for its nine justices and a constitutional amendment that would limit presidential immunity.

Biden, citing “recent ethics scandals” involving judges and high court decisions that “overturned long-established legal precedents protecting fundamental rights,” called on Congress to pass three major reforms aimed at “restoring trust and accountability” in America’s democratic institutions.

The White House detailed the contours of Biden’s Supreme Court proposal on Monday, stressing that the Democrat believes that “no one — not the president and not the Supreme Court — is above the law.”

The president will formally propose the changes today in a speech in Austin, Texas, but his proposals appear unlikely to win approval in a deeply divided Congress with just 99 days until Election Day.

Regardless, Democrats hope Biden’s proposal will help focus voters as they consider their choices in the tight presidential election.

Vice President Kamala Harris, the presumptive Democratic nominee, has sought to frame her race against Republican former President Donald Trump as “a choice between freedom and chaos.”

Google unleashes scary new election conspiracy as key feature omits Trump

Google’s autocomplete feature is failing to provide any additional results on the attempted assassination of Donald Trump, leading conservatives to accuse the web giant of election tampering.

Now, those who type the words “attempted assassination of” into the system will not see the attempted assassination of Donald Trump just two weeks ago appear via autocomplete.

Roger Marshall, a Republican senator from Kansas, announced Sunday night that he was launching a congressional investigation into the company.

The news also reached Donald Trump Jr., who issued a scathing statement on X regarding the omission.

Chilling text messages from Trump’s anti-sniper agents before assassination attempt reveal shooter was one step ahead of Secret Service and local law enforcement

A series of explosive text messages from snipers supposedly protecting Donald Trump at the Pennsylvania rally where an assassin’s bullet nearly killed the president showed them one step behind the shooter.

A massive investigation was launched following the attempt, which Trump miraculously survived, and the resignation of Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle came shortly after the July 13 shooting.

As one of the three counter-snipers was about to call it a day at the end of his shift at around 4:26 p.m., they noticed a man, who they later confirmed was Crooks, sitting on a picnic table.

“Guys I’m out here. Be careful,” he wrote. “Someone followed our lead and snuck in and parked by our cars, just so you know. I’m letting you know because you saw me come out with my rifle and put it in my car so he knows you’re up there,” he wrote.
