The latest on the 2024 presidential race

Former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris have picked their running mates and held nominating conventions to rally their parties. They have limited time to convince the few undecided voters and make sure everyone in key battleground states gets to the polls.

While we don’t know?specifically?what will happen between now and?Election Day — or what could come after, when the country’s unique Electoral College process gets going — but we do have some idea of what to expect:

President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris are commemorating three years since a terrorist bomb killed 13 American servicemembers outside the Kabul airport?in Afghanistan.

“These 13 Americans—and the many more that were wounded—were patriots in the highest sense. Some were born the year the war in Afghanistan started,” Biden said in a statement after listing the fallen service members’ names.?

Harris also named the 13 American service members killed outside the Kabul airport in a statement, calling them “heroes” and “devoted patriots” as she reiterated her support for Biden’s decision to withdraw from Afghanistan.

Biden, she said, “made the courageous and right decision to end America’s longest war.”

Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump will be at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia this morning to commemorate the date, a source familiar tells CNN.?The withdrawal has become one of his key talking points against the current administration.

More context: Biden has faced criticism for his handling of the Afghanistan withdrawal. Family members of the fallen spoke at the Republican National Convention earlier this summer, criticizing Biden for never publicly naming their loved ones.

In Harris’ statement, she also previewed her own presidential message: “I will never hesitate to take whatever action necessary to counter terrorist threats and protect the American people and the homeland.”

The campaigns of former President Donald Trump, and Vice President Kamala Harris have reached somewhat of an impasse over debate rules ahead of the September 10 debate on ABC, a source familiar with the matter tells CNN.

Trump’s team, according to the source, would like for the microphones to be muted while the other is not supposed to be speaking, as was the case during the first debate with President Joe Biden. The Harris campaign is requesting that ABC and other networks seeking to host a potential October debate keep microphones on, according to a senior campaign official, marking a change from the June debate when the then-Biden campaign wanted microphones muted except when it was a candidate’s turn to speak.

“We have told ABC?and other networks seeking to host a possible October debate that we believe both candidates’ mics should be live throughout the full broadcast,”?Brian Fallon, the Harris campaign’s senior adviser for communications, said in a statement.

Trump’s campaign has argued that when they agreed to the ABC debate with Harris at the top of the ticket, they were agreeing to the same guidelines of the previous debate.

The Harris campaign maintains that the muted mics are the only remaining dispute, and while they wouldn’t mind opening statements, they have not insisted on it.

In a social media post Sunday night, Trump questioned whether or not he should participate in the ABC debate, criticizing the network’s coverage including what he called a “Panel of Trump Haters,” asking, “why would I do the Debate against Kamala Harris on that network?”

Former President Donald Trump will be at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia this morning to commemorate the third anniversary of the Afghanistan withdrawal, a source familiar tells CNN.?

The withdrawal has become one of his key talking points against the current administration. He is expected to be joined by some members of the families of the fallen soldiers.?

Tulsi Gabbard, the former representative from Hawaii who ran for president?as a Democrat, is expected to formally endorse former President Donald Trump’s third presidential bid today at his event in Detroit, Michigan, a source with knowledge of the matter tells CNN.

The endorsement is not surprising given that Gabbard, now an independent, has been helping Trump with debate prep ahead of the September 10 face-off with Vice President Kamala Harris.

Former President Donald Trump points to supporters at a campaign rally in Glendale, Arizona, on August 23.

While former President Donald Trump campaigns in two “blue wall” states this week, Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz will visit another key battleground.

Trump will deliver remarks on the economy in Potterville, Michigan, on Thursday, according to his campaign. The former president will also host a town hall that evening in La Crosse, Wisconsin.

Trump “will meet with Wisconsinites to listen to their concerns and share his promising agenda: to make America affordable again,” his campaign said.

On Wednesday, Harris and Walz will kick off a bus tour in Georgia, concluding with a rally in the Savannah area on Thursday, according to their campaign.

Few battlegrounds will be more closely watched than Georgia — where President Joe Biden won by fewer than 12,000 votes four years ago — for signs of how voters respond to campaign outreach.

Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, are looking to maintain their momentum as they prepare to hit the campaign trail again following an excitement-filled Democratic National Convention last week.

Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump — bracing for more unfavorable polling news — is seeking to curb Harris’ stride while also on the trail this week with his running mate, Ohio Sen. JD Vance, who took swings at their rivals Sunday.

Here’s the latest campaign news:

Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz are joined by their spouses onstage on the final day of the 2024 Democratic National Convention in Chicago on Thursday, August 22.?

Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign said Sunday that it had raised $540 million since she launched her presidential bid just over a month ago.

That’s a record for any campaign in history for this time span, according to Harris’ team.?

The campaign saw a surge of grassroots donations during last week’s Democratic National Convention, raking in $82 million. The hour following Harris’ speech on the final night of the convention was the campaign’s best fundraising hour since launch day.

Harris’ team said a third of last week’s donations were from first-time contributors, two-thirds of whom were women. Teaching and nursing continue to be among the most common occupations for donors, the campaign said.

The campaign also had its biggest week of organizing, with nearly 200,000 volunteers signing up for shifts since Monday.??

Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, will kick off a bus tour in Georgia on Wednesday, their first time campaigning in the state together, underscoring the campaign’s focus on the key battleground. The vice president is also set to host a rally in Savannah on Thursday to “speak directly to Georgians about the stakes of this election.”
