Former Trump aide Cassidy Hutchinson endorses Kamala Harris in 2024 Presidential Race
Former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson, who previously worked for Donald Trump's Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, has endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris in the upcoming presidential election. According to a report by The Washington Post, Hutchinson announced her support for Harris during an appearance on MSNBC, citing the Vice President's character and commitment to upholding the rule of law as key factors in her decision.
Hutchinson, who gained national attention after testifying before the House committee investigating the January 6, 2021 insurrection at the Capitol, revealed that she had long decided not to vote for Trump again. "I’ve known for quite a long time, number one, that I would never in my life vote for Donald Trump ever again," she told MSNBC host Lawrence O’Donnell. She added that her support for the Democratic ticket, now led by Harris, was solidified after watching Trump's choice of Ohio Senator JD Vance as his running mate.
Hutchinson’s endorsement aligns her with a growing list of Republicans backing Harris, including former Wyoming congresswoman Liz Cheney and her father, former Vice President Dick Cheney. She criticized Trump and Vance, stating, “They cannot be trusted with the Constitution. They cannot be trusted to uphold our rule of law, and they can’t be trusted to enact responsible policy.”
In response, Trump’s campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung defended the former president, claiming that Trump had unified the Republican Party and garnered broad support within his administration. However, The Washington Post reported that only 24 of Trump's 42 cabinet members had publicly endorsed his candidacy by August.

Pope Leo XIV blasts 'delusion of omnipotence' fueling the US-Israeli war in Iran
Rome AP: In his strongest words yet, Pope Leo XIV on Saturday denounced the “delusion of omnipotence” that is fueling the US-Israel war in Iran and demanded political leaders stop and negotiate peace.
Leo presided over an evening prayer service in St. Peter's Basilica on the same day the United States and Iran began face-to-face negotiations in Pakistan and as a fragile ceasefire held.
History's first US-born pope didn't mention the United States or President Donald Trump in his prayer, which was planned before the talks were announced. But Leo's tone and message appeared directed at Trump and US officials, who have boasted of US military superiority and justified the war in religious terms.
“Enough of the idolatry of self and money!” Leo demanded. “Enough of the display of power! Enough of war!”
