Highlights from Harris' first major interview as the Democratic nominee

-

In her first in-person interview as the Democratic presidential contender, Vice President Kamala Harris talked about her agenda for 2025 while steering clear of contentious subjects.

She positioned herself as a pragmatic who would, if elected, strike a balance between upholding the legacy of the Biden-Harris administration and forging her own course. Regarding her policy stances since her previous presidential campaign, Harris also fielded inquiries. She underlined how crucial it is to reach an understanding and create consensus in order to address issues.

Defending her shifting stances

Kamala Harris, the Democratic presidential candidate from California, has changed her position on a number of significant issues since 2019. These include co-sponsoring "Medicare for All," endorsing a Green New Deal, decriminalizing immigration, and being against hydraulic fracturing, or "fracking." Harris insists that her moral principles have not altered, acknowledging the validity of the climate emergency and the advancements achieved by the administration with the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act. During the 2020 vice presidential debate, she vowed not to outlaw hydraulic fracturing and contended that a clean energy economy could function without it. Additionally, Harris stressed the necessity of sanctions for unauthorized border crossings and denounced Trump for pressuring Republicans to thwart a bipartisan border security plan. She prosecuted multinational criminal groups during her two stints as California's attorney general.

Ignoring Trump's comments regarding her race

Trump has been disparaging Harris' race, stating untruthfully that she was an Indian American who had just recently begun to identify as Black. Harris disregarded Trump as a former politician, charging him with weakening the resolve and character of Americans and causing division in the country. This is indicative of Harris' strategy for managing her own campaign rather than concentrating on Trump's daily remarks. Harris thinks that people are prepared to get past this problem.

Her "First Day" agenda

As president, Harris unveiled her "Day One" program, emphasizing cost-cutting and the implementation of her opportunity economy strategy. She wants to address price gouging, high supermarket prices, extending the child tax credit for low-income families, and offering first-time homebuyers a $25,000 tax credit. While praising Biden's performance as vice president, Harris said more work needs to be done. She also agreed that Biden may serve another four years, but she dropped out of the contest because of pressure from her party. There is still work to be done, Harris argued, defending Biden's record.

Trump snaps at Harris' responses

On social media, Trump attacked Kamala Harris, saying that her beliefs—which include an open border, free healthcare for undocumented immigrants, sanctuary cities, cash bail exemptions, gun confiscation, no fracking, a prohibition on gasoline-powered vehicles, the elimination of private healthcare, a tax rate between 70 and 80 percent, and the defunding of law enforcement—have not changed. America, he claimed, will turn into a wasteland. See more

Ozempic Weight-loss drugs to Slow Down Ageing Process, scientists suggest

-
Image
Drugs for weight loss have the potential to completely transform healthcare by delaying the aging process and extending life expectancy and quality of life. Leading scientists have made this stark statement in response to research that were presented at the European Society of Cardiology Conference in London last week. Studies have already shown that semaglutide , which is marketed under the names Ozempic and Wegovy , lowers the risk of death in patients with cardiovascular disease who are overweight or obese. However, more recent research has shown that Ozempic has effects that go beyond what was once thought to be possible for the medication. Researchers found that those who took the medication died at a decreased rate from all causes, not just cardiovascular ones. "Semaglutide has far-reaching benefits beyond what we initially imagined," Yale School of Medicine Professor Harlan Krumholz stated. It goes beyond just preventing heart attacks. They are advocates for ...

Matching dinosaur footprints found more than 3,700 miles apart

A team of paleontologists found matching dinosaur footprints on what are now two different continents, separated by thousands of miles of ocean.  The footprints, dating back to the Early Cretaceous period, were found in Brazil and in Cameroon , researchers wrote in a study published Monday by the New Mexico Museum of Natural History & Science. The discovery shows where land-dwelling dinosaurs were able to cross freely between South America and Africa before the two continents split apart millions of years ago . The study showed that the more than 260 footprints that were examined were imprinted in mud and silt along historic rivers and lakes; the footprints in South America and Africa were separated by more than 3,700 kilometers. Paleontologists discovered that they shared similarities in terms of age, shape, and plate tectonic and geological settings. According to Louis Jacobs , a paleontologist at Southern Methodist Universit y, dinosaurs left their mark 120 million year...
