“There is nothing more racist than to assume the color of someone’s skin dictates something about the content of their viewpoints, which is what Ayanna Pressley peddles to Americans,” Ramaswamy’s campaign spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin told POLITICO in a statement. “What’s really stunning, is that now she is trying to make money off of it.” Ramaswamy’s comment came during a campaign stop in Iowa on Friday, as he tacked on to his argument that progressives exhibit racism when they criticize people of color for not appropriately supporting racial equity. When he was asked if critics would blame him for supporting white…

The WNBA team was greeted by Harris and second gentleman Doug Emhoff in the East Room of the White House.

In her mind, she’s the same person she was when the prevailing narrative of her was that of a star prosecutor, ascendant political talent and even the future of the Democratic Party. “You could have followed me around in Iowa [ahead of 2020],” Harris told POLITICO in one of two exclusive interviews. “You would have seen the same thing four years ago.
