‘She's a horrible candidate': Kamala Harris dismissed as weak 2028 contender
'I don't know a single Democrat who is clamouring for Kamala Harris to run for anything, and unless you can build some enthusiasm for your campaign, you're dead in the water,' Mr Mulvaney told Sky News host James Morrow.
'She's a horrible candidate. She's lost a presidential run now twice.
'I don't see her doing it unless she is truly unburdened by what has not been.'

Rupert Murdoch shows Trump his own version of the ‘Art of the Deal'
According to Thomson, Trump needs to join News' crusade to ensure that a 'deeply derivative and woke AI' does not arise from the digital decay that will come if publishers are not adequately paid for their content. Who would have thought Trump's AI tech bros, who lined up behind him at the inauguration, are channelling a woke agenda rather than what Meta's Mark Zuckerberg refers to as the Trump administration's 'masculine energy'? But there were other, clearer references to how Murdoch and Trump's interests coincide, for now at least. Transplanting the New York Post 's aggressively pro-Trump agenda next year via a sister newspaper in the other deeply Democrat outpost, Los Angeles, may not make much commercial sense. However, it underlines that it is not just Murdoch's Fox Corp that has a reach across the US and deep into Trump's voting heartland. 'Soon, all will not be quiet on the western front,' promised Thomson. Just hours later, Trump was posting about preparations for the 2028 Olympics in LA, which will now have a paper waging war on his behalf. There is a deadly serious side to this AI battle, of course, including for the publisher of this column. Forget about the multibillion-dollar amounts being spent on AI data centres and its vast energy needs, as Thomson puts it: 'In the end, IP [intellectual property] powers AI.' The future of the entire media industry almost certainly relies on it. The threat AI poses makes this an important battle the Murdochs are fighting. Far more important than this legal skirmish with Trump, which appears to have temporarily lost some of its steam. Just this week, both parties agreed to hold off on Murdoch's court deposition until after The Wall Street Journal 's motion to dismiss the case had been heard. The Wall Street Journal was sued by Trump following high-profile reports on his relationship with disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, just as MAGA followers grew enraged about attempts by the US president to play down the conspiracies he pandered to before taking office. Loading What news reports have downplayed is the fact that both parties also agreed not to engage in discovery for now, an issue that should trouble Trump far more than Rupert if the president has anything to hide on Epstein. And, no doubt, Rupert would remain ready to pounce. Meanwhile, his two News empires, News Corp and Fox Corp, are as financially healthy as they have ever been – partly due to Trump. And if Trump can be enticed into fighting on their side in the battle to get AI giants to pay for the content they purloin from traditional media, the financial impact could extend way beyond the 94-year-old's lifetime.

Megyn Kelly slams Jim Acosta's ‘sick' interview with AI-generated school shooting victim
