Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has been selected as the vice-presidential running mate for Kamala Harris in the upcoming election. Governor Walz is known for his leadership and progressive policies.

A recent Washington Post report has uncovered a secret U.S. investigation into a potentially suspicious $10 million gift from an Egyptian-linked group to Donald Trump. This transaction allegedly took place just days before his inauguration in 2016. The report reveals that the group withdrew the funds, raising questions about the nature and purpose of this financial exchange. This revelation adds another layer of intrigue to the events surrounding Trump's rise to power and the international connections that may have influenced it.

Vance, is stirring controversy as Vance continues to double down on his “childless cat ladies” comments and promote a "back to the past" vision for America. Many are questioning how these views align with the broader electorate and whether they will impact the campaign's success. The partnership between Trump and Vance is shaping up to be a critical focal point of the election season, raising concerns and discussions across the political spectrum
