Comment on JD Vance Demands Kamala Harris To 'Shut The Hell Up' About John Kellys Claims

By ERIC TUCKER, ZEKE MILLER and MICHAEL BALSAMO WASHINGTON (AP) — Chinese hackers engaged in a broader espionage operation targeted cellphones used by Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, his running mate, JD Vance, and people associated with the Democratic campaign of Kamala Harris, people familiar with the matter said Friday.

CNN contributor Van Jones made a very astute and important observation while being part of a panel discussion on Kamala Harris's CNN Town Hall performance Wednesday night.
