Trump and Harris Vie for Law Enforcement Endorsements Amid Crime Concerns

As the presidential race heats up, both former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are aggressively courting the support of law enforcement agencies, highlighting their commitment to addressing crime. Trump recently secured the endorsement of the nation’s oldest and largest police labor organization, which praised his leadership and criticized Harris as contributing to a 'crime wave.' In contrast, Harris has also received endorsements from law enforcement officials, challenging Trump's narrative that she lacks support from the police community. Amidst these political maneuvers, Trump has controversially urged police officers to monitor polling places for voter fraud, a move that has raised legal and ethical concerns.

It's fascinating to see Kamala Harris gaining traction with law enforcement endorsements, challenging the stereotype that progressives can't be tough on crime while advocating for meaningful reform.

Trump's aggressive stance in securing the law enforcement endorsement rightfully showcases his unwavering commitment to law and order, something our nation desperately needs.

Both Trump and Harris pandering for law enforcement endorsements just shows how politicians will flip any narrative to secure a badge of approval, ignoring the deeper issues of our justice system.

Considering concerns about voter fraud, do you think it's appropriate for police to monitor polling places, or does it intimidate voters?

Tensions rise between Harris and Biden teams as election nears

The relationship between Kamala Harris' team and Joe Biden's White House has been increasingly fraught in the final weeks before Election Day, 10 people familiar with the situation tell Axios.Biden's team wants Harris to win the election, but many senior Biden aides remain wounded by the president being pushed out of his re-election bid and are still adjusting to being in a supporting role on the campaign trail."They're too much in their feelings," one close Harris ally said of the president's team — a sentiment shared even by some White House aides.Driving the news: Some on the Harris team say that top White House aides aren't sufficiently coordinating Biden's messaging and schedule to align with what's best for the vice president's campaign.Biden gave an impromptu press conference in the White House briefing room Friday just as Harris was about to do an event in Michigan, ensuring that her event would get less TV coverage than it otherwise would have.Earlier in the week, Harris criticized Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) for not taking her call about the recent hurricanes, only for Biden to praise DeSantis soon after for being "gracious" and "cooperative." (A person familiar with the situation told Axios that Biden hadn't been briefed on Harris' comments.)Biden has been eager to boast about a robust jobs report, helping to end the strike by the longshoremen's union and other perceived victories recently. Harris has been trying to focus on voters' pocketbook concerns, including inflation.One person involved with Harris' campaign told Axios: "The White House is lacking someone in the room thinking first and foremost about how things would affect the campaign.Harris' team has been trying to add staff to the vice president's official office to handle the bigger workload. It's been frustrated at the White House's pace in getting people detailed for that, according to two people familiar with the matter.The White House has been working to help Harris' team but has been frustrated by some of the rules about who can be detailed and when.
