After The New York Times published a headline titled “Kamala Harris Surprises Everyone,” MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell says that Vice President Harris isn’t surprising everyone – especially those who have been following California politics. Lawrence says that while Donald Trump is refusing to debate Vice President Harris after breaking his promise to participate in a presidential debate on ABC and is sticking to “the laziest presidential campaign schedule since the invention of jet travel,” Vice President Harris put together “the single strongest group of campaign winners.”

    To paraphrase Edmund Burke - "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men and women to do nothing." Everyone who is eligible to vote, please vote. This insanity has got to end once and for all.

    No one has accused him (orange man) of being intelligent.
  • @handyvickers
    What's REALLY worrying is that 51% of people appear to think that djt DOES have the cognitive capacity. That makes me question THEIR cognitive capacity.
  • Thank You again Lawrence for your exceptional journalism. You are our modern day Walter Cronkite.
  • @Fer-bf8iv
    We need more like you Lawrence...journalist of integrity!
  • @RickWolfff
    When he's not slurring his words, he's slurring his voters.
  • @xelamercedes
    It's a shame what's happened to The New York Times. With all the recent talk about how old age diminishes effectiveness, I'm beginning to wonder about NYT. What do they call it....the Gray Lady?
  • @PriscillaRobb
    Welcome back Lawrence O..We miss you dearly last week.
  • What is wrong with the senators, the judges, the congressmen and congresswomen and many more whom you would think are somewhat educated people? Why can’t they see that if he wins, the USA will become another Venezuela, a North Korea, a Russia and it is scary how fragile our democracy is! I pray that, we the sane voters, vote this lunatic and his Project 2025 OUT!💙💙💙
  • He’s not running scared, he’s hunched over & slowly shuffling forward, scared! Harris & Walz 💙
  • @Youtoogetto
    It is 2024, vote competency, not the race card.
  • @samhunt7653
    We love your reporting Mr. Lawrence O’Donnell. You make me smile each and every time I watch your news stories. 🎉
  • DOJ needs to IMMEDIATELY look into the 10 million dollar possible campaign donation from Egypt. Do NOT wait for years to investigate this!!!

    I have just finished reading the tell-all book, "All in the family", by Fred Trump III, and it is a must read, which clearly shows the behavior of a traumatized child, "Donnie", growing into a disturbed boy filled with rage and sadistic pleasure in the suffering of others. It also reveals, as if we didn't know, the rapid downward course of alcoholism, and the emotional pain that drove the author's dad, Fred, Jr., to become an alcoholic. The later sections on his disabled son, "William", and Donald Trump's total lack of empathy for William, Fred, Fred's wife, and anyone else, defines the diagnosis of "sociopath", but is also a trait found in BPD and CPTSD.

    Seriously hope that Harris will be there, next to an empty podium, Answering questions on live tv, and pointing at that empty podium, mocking him... every.. single.. time.
  • Lawrence's best line ... "Trump's most enduring quality is his stupidity." Short. To the point. Accurate.

    Hi Lawrence, As a journalist, you are and remain the BEST! I can't tell you how much I appreciate your work, your commentaries, and everything else. Thank you so much!
