President Joe Biden is trying to cement his legacy and Kamala Harris is narrowing her running mate options with 99 days until the presidential election.

Biden, 81, has called for Supreme Court reform with a three-step plan that includes a constitutional amendment targeting Donald Trump.

Meanwhile, the fallout from the attempted assassination of Trump continues to intensify following the release of explosive text messages between snipers suggesting they were aware of the presence of gunman Thomas Crooks 90 minutes before he opened fire.

Kamala Harris narrows her list of vice presidential candidates to three

Kamala Harris has narrowed her search for a running mate to a list of three prominent Democrats, reports suggest.

The vice president has two weeks to choose who will join her on the ticket and has been frantically evaluating candidates to take on Donald Trump and JD Vance in November.

He has considered a wide range of elected members of the Democratic Party, but is now believed to have zeroed in on a trio of the country’s most popular figures.

Arizona Senator Mark Kelly, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz are currently the front-runners in the eyes of the campaign. Bloomberg reported.

Shapiro and Kelly are said to be the candidates Republicans fear most ahead of the general election.

Both come from key states that will be decisive in determining the outcome of the election.

Biden announces three-step constitutional reform for the Supreme Court, including an anti-Trump amendment

President Joe Biden has called for sweeping reforms to the Supreme Court, including term limits, a binding code of conduct for its nine justices and a constitutional amendment that would limit presidential immunity.

Biden, citing “recent ethics scandals” involving judges and high court rulings that “overturned long-standing legal precedents protecting fundamental rights,” has called on Congress to pass three major reforms in an attempt to “restore trust and accountability” in America’s democratic institutions.

On Monday, the White House outlined the outlines of Biden’s judiciary proposal, noting how the Democrat believes “no one, not the president or the Supreme Court, is above the law.”

The president will formally propose the changes today during a speech in Austin, Texas, but his proposals appear unlikely to be approved by a deeply divided Congress just 99 days before Election Day.

Still, Democrats hope Biden’s proposal will help focus voters’ attention as they consider their options in the hotly contested presidential election.

Vice President Kamala Harris, the presumptive Democratic nominee, has sought to frame her race against former Republican President Donald Trump as “a choice between freedom and chaos.”

Google unleashes terrifying new election conspiracy by omitting Trump from key feature

Google’s autocomplete feature is no longer offering results about the attempted assassination of Donald Trump, prompting conservatives to accuse the web giant of election manipulation.

Now, when you type the terms ‘the assassination attempt on’ into the system, the assassination attempt on Donald Trump just two weeks ago doesn’t show up in the autocomplete.

Roger Marshall, a Republican senator from Kansas, announced Sunday night that he is launching a congressional investigation into the company.

The news also reached Donald Trump Jr., who issued a harsh statement on X regarding the omission.

Chilling text messages from Trump snipers before assassination attempt reveal how gunman was one step ahead of Secret Service and local law enforcement

A series of explosive text messages sent by snipers who were supposed to protect Donald Trump at the Pennsylvania rally where an assassin’s bullet nearly killed the president showed them one step behind the gunman.

A massive investigation has been launched in the wake of the attempt, which Trump miraculously survived, and Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle resigned shortly after the July 13 shooting.

As one of the three snipers was about to end his shift around 4:26 p.m., they noticed a man they later confirmed was Crooks sitting at a picnic table.

“Guys, I’m outside. Be careful,” he wrote. “Someone followed our lead and snuck in and parked near our cars, just so you know. I’m just letting you know because you saw me come out with my rifle and put it in my car so he knows you guys are up there,” he wrote.
