Komola Harris & Trump |
What's happening on the campaign trail today:
The judge overseeing Donald Trump's New York criminal trial delayed the former president's sentencing from Sept. 18 until after the November election.
Separately, Trump's lawyers also delivered arguments this morning appealing the first E. Jean Carroll verdict against him. The former president followed his court appearance in that case with lengthy remarks claiming Carroll fabricated her claim that he sexually assaulted her decades ago, despite his having been found liable for sexually abusing and defaming the writer.
Former Vice President Dick Cheney, a Republican, confirmed today that he's backing Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign after his daughter announced his choice for president earlier in the day. The Cheneys join a list of Republicans who say they have ideological differences with Harris but are more concerned about another Trump presidency.
Harris is in Pittsburgh today as she continues to prepare for next week's debate. Both campaigns agreed to the terms of the debate Wednesday after protracted negotiations.
