Election 2024 Latest: Harris ad focuses on housing; former Democratic congresswoman endorses Trump

Vice President Kamala Harris has a new advertising push to draw attention to her plan to build 3 million new homes over four years, a move designed to contain inflationary pressures that also draws a sharp contrast to Republican Donald Trump’s approach.

Meanwhile, former Democratic U.S. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard has endorsed Trump’s presidential bid, furthering her shift away from the party she sought to represent four years ago and linking herself to the GOP nominee’s critiques of Harris and the chaotic Afghanistan War withdrawal.

Wisconsin Elections Commission votes to keep Cornel West on ballot

MADISON, Wis. — The Wisconsin Elections Commission voted Tuesday to keep independent presidential candidate Cornel West on the ballot, rejecting a challenge filed by an employee of the Democratic National Committee. The commission ousted one presidential candidate — independent Shiva Ayyadurai, an anti-vaccine activist who was born in India to parents who weren’t United States citizens. The U.S. Constitution requires presidential candidates to be natural-born U.S. citizens.

There will be eight presidential candidates on the ballot in Wisconsin, including Democrat Kamala Harris and Republican Donald Trump. Six other lesser-known candidates include West, Green Party nominee Jill Stein and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who suspended his campaign last week to endorse Trump.
