HOWARD KURTZ: Former Never Trumper JD Vance is VP pick to shape MAGA’s future
My Spider-Man sense has been telling me all this time that Donald Trump wants to choose J.D. Vance as his running mate.

HOWARD KURTZ: Trump survives shooting, but politically charged blame game never fades

HOWARD KURTZ: Dems launch blame game for Biden’s poor debate performance
“It was a terrible night. You can’t judge a president’s job in 90 minutes. His aides are to blame for screwing up the debate preparations.” Blame the media for their obsession with age.
