The breezy, yet engaging indie rock sensibilities of Hospitality translate well into an intimate concert environment to create a pleasant experience all-around. The band's strength lies in vocalist Amber Papini's light, effortless voice singing thoughtful lyrics over a tight instrument ensemble with pretty harmonizing guitars, and that translates well from the record to the stage. While the concert isn't flashy from a visual standpoint, it doesn't need to be; the true beauty lies in just taking in the pleasant, breezy melodies provided by Papini and company, while developing your appreciation for the well-executed indie songcraft with a smile on your face and your toes tapping.

It helps that the lyrics to the songs, from Hospitality's sole, self-titled record, are well-written and relatable. The album's lyrical content focuses in on some of the trials and experiences of life in your twenties, such as settling down, moving on with your life, and discovering love. Just by looking around the audience of younger adults, it was easy to tell that many of them probably related to what they were hearing. Yet Papini has fun with it, singing along with an upbeat demeanor and getting into the groove of the rhythm section, showing that the most important part of life is enjoying it. Overall, a very satisfying experience that shows that this young New York band has a lot of promise.

Kamala Harris releases economic plan aiming to lower housing costs, end price gouging

By Nidia Cavazos , Kathryn Watson

Updated on: August 16, 2024 / 7:28 PM EDT / CBS News

Vice President Kamala Harris  unveiled her economic plans Friday in Raleigh, North Carolina, marking the first time she has released a major policy initiative since President Biden dropped out of the race last month. 

North Carolina is a key battleground state in November, and Harris is trying to persuade voters there and across the country that her policies can bring costs down and give Americans economic opportunity. Harris noted it was her 16th visit to the state since becoming vice president — and President Biden's first stop after the fateful debate performance that ultimately led to his departure from the race. 

Harris said she would offer more details about her economic plan in the weeks ahead but on Friday, she focused efforts to lower the cost of living. 

"When I am elected president, I will make it a top priority to bring down costs and increase economic security for all Americans," Harris said at Wake Tech Community College in Raleigh. "As president, I will take on the high costs that matter most to most Americans, like the cost of food. We all know that prices went up during the pandemic when the supply chains shut down and failed. But our supply chains have now improved. And prices are still too high." 

Harris also blasted former President Donald Trump over his economic policies. She said Trump would impose "what is in effect a national sales tax," referring to recent remarks Trump made about expanding tariffs on goods imported into the U.S. by 10-20%. 

New housing

Harris is calling for the construction of 3 million new housing units in her first four years in office. The Biden administration has previously called for the construction of 2 million new homes .

She wants to incentivize these new units with a tax break for builders who construct properties for first-time home buyers. She is also proposing a $40 billion fund to help local governments find solutions to the lack of housing supply. 

"There's a serious housing shortage. In many places, it's too difficult to build, and it's driving prices up," Harris said. "As president, I will work in partnership with industry to build the housing we need, both to rent and to buy. We will take down barriers and cut red tape, including at the state and local levels. And by the end of my first term, we will end America's housing shortage by building 3 million new homes and rentals that are affordable for the middle class." 

Campaign officials said Harris will call on Congress to pass the Preventing the Algorithmic Facilitation of Rental Housing Cartels Act, which would prevent landlords from using price-fixing algorithms to increase rents. She also wants lawmakers to pass the Stop Predatory Investing Act, a bill that would limit tax breaks for large investors and private equity firms that acquire single-family rental homes in bulk. 

"Some corporate landlords, some of them, buy dozens if not hundreds of houses and apartments," Harris said. "Then they turn them around and rent them out at extremely high prices. And it can make it impossible then for regular people to buy or even rent a home."

Harris will also propose providing Americans who have paid their rent on time for two years with up to $25,000 in down-payment assistance, with more support for first-generation homeowners. 

Expansion of Child Tax Credit

Harris is also proposing an expansion of the Child Tax Credit to provide a $6,000 tax cut to families with newborns. GOP vice presidential nominee and Ohio Sen.  JD Vance has proposed a similar  but more general $5,000 Child Tax Credit expansion. The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget pointed out that this Vance's proposal, which is 150% above the current $2,000 tax credit, could mean creating trillions in debt. "We could easily be talking about $2-$3 trillion in additional borrowing over the next decade," Marc Goldwein, senior policy director for the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, told CBS MoneyWatch regarding the Vance proposal. 

Vance has suggested his tax credit would not be subject to income thresholds, while Harris' proposal would apply to lower- and middle-income families.

Trump campaign senior adviser Brian Hughes said there's been "a lot of talk from the Harris campaign criticizing Senator Vance and campaign for advocating for policies that are pro-family and meant to support those who are raising children. So it is a bit ironic to see the Vice President Harris suddenly embrace policies that she seemed to stop at just a few weeks ago."

Harris also wants to restore the Child Tax Credit to the pandemic-era American Rescue Plan levels , which would give working- and middle-class families with children up to $3,600 per child. 

She is also proposing a Earned Income Tax Credit of $1,500 for those in lower-income jobs who aren't raising a child. The campaign also emphasized that Harris will ensure "no one earning less than $400,000 a year will pay more in new taxes." 

Both Vance's and Harris' proposals would require congressional approval.

Addressing inflation

In North Carolina, Harris also talked about how much higher prices are for specific goods like bread than they were pre-pandemic, something Mr. Biden has typically been less likely to do. 

In the first 100 days of her administration, Harris, according to a campaign fact sheet, would work to bring down the cost of groceries by working with Congress on a federal ban on price gouging on groceries and other goods and new authorities for the Federal Trade Commission and state attorneys general to enable them to impose penalties on rule-breaking companies.

"Look, the bills add up," Harris said Friday. "Food, rent, gas, back to school clothes, prescription medication — after all that, for many families, there's not much left at the end of the month." 

Extreme consolidation in the food industry has led to higher prices that account for a large part of higher grocery bills. Harris plans to crack down on unfair mergers and acquisitions that give big food corporations the power to jack up food and grocery prices and undermine the competition that keeps prices low for consumers. And her plan aims to support smaller businesses, like grocery stores, meat processors, farmers and ranchers, so those industries can be more competitive.

According to the most  recent CBS News poll , only 9% of registered voters rated the condition of the national economy as "very good," with the economy and inflation ranking as the top issue of concern consistently across 2024 polls. Inflation has cooled since its peak in June 2022, but many voters are still feeling financial strain. Prices are still 20%  higher overall than prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.

In a statement, the Trump campaign accused Harris of trying to implement price controls, which it said "have been tried — and failed — throughout history as they inevitably lead to food lines, shortages, and skyrocketing inequality." The Trump campaign also blamed Harris' and Mr. Biden's economic policies for creating the problem, "aided and abetted by Harris's tiebreaking votes on trillions in inflationary spending."  However, economists have said that pandemic-related federal spending by both Trump and Mr. Biden fueled high inflation.

Throughout battleground states, voters often tell CBS News that the economy remains a top issue when heading to the voting booths. 

"Workforce development, creating job opportunities, making sure everyone can advance in different career fields," said Abraham Camejo in Las Vegas ahead of Harris' rally on Saturday when asked about economic priorities. "The policies that benefit big corporations and the middle class are different."

According to a recent  CBS News poll , on a question about policies that will improve people's finances, Harris trailed Trump with 45% of registered voters saying they'd be financially better off with the former president, compared to 25% for Harris. 

Eliminating taxes on tips

Harris' economic policy remarks followed her  pledge last Saturday at a rally in Las Vegas to eliminate taxes on tips and raise the minimum wage.

"When I am president, we will continue our fight for working families including to raise the minimum wage and eliminate taxes on tips for service and hospitality workers," Harris said recently at a rally that included Nevada Culinary union members. 

A Harris-Walz campaign official noted that her pledge would require legislation.

This marked the first time Harris made a proposal on eliminating taxes on tips for service workers, a similar idea to one first pitched by Trump in June, also at a rally in Las Vegas.  

In 2025, lawmakers are set to have a major opening on tax legislation given the expiration of some tax changes made during Trump's presidency in 2017. Control of Congress is likely to be a major factor on this issue, since Republicans held the House, Senate and White House when Trump's 2017 tax cuts became law.

Spencer Sutherland Announces 2025 North American Headlining Tour Dates

“Sutherland repurposes the age-old fable in his irreverent new single.” – Rolling Stone

Today (August 13th) , rising pop artist Spencer Sutherland announces his 2025 North American headlining tour. The announcement follows the news of his sophomore album, The Drama , set for release on October 4th . Full tour dates and ticketing information is listed below.

TICKETS: Tickets will be available starting with a Citi presale (details below) beginning on Tuesday, August 13. Additional pre-sales will run throughout the week ahead of the general on sale beginning on Friday, August 16 at 10 AM local time at spencersutherland.com/tour .

PRESALE: Citi is the official card of the Spencer Sutherland tour. Citi cardmembers will have access to presale tickets beginning Tuesday, August 13 at 12 PM ET until Thursday, August 15 at 10 PM local time through the Citi Entertainment program. For complete presale details visit www.citientertainment.com . 

A theatrical take on the classic concept album, Spencer’s upcoming LP is a 3-act modern rock opera dripping with arena anthems and Spencer’s signature glam rock vintage flair, as he voyages through the excitement, heartbreak, and resilience that arise from chasing his dreams. If pop music is planet earth, The Drama has us strapped in and blasting off, in search of another sonic galaxy.

The first act “Welcome To The Show!”, is the excitement of the beginning of a journey, chasing the dream. The second act “A Tragedy!”, is the heartbreak, loss and demotivation from the dream. The third act, “God Save The Dream!”, is the reignition of love. It’s the snarky attitude of brushing your shoulders off and never stopping. The record is anchored in the idea that no one can ever take the dream from you, but you had to learn that yourself, through The Drama.

Spencer shares about his upcoming album: 

“The Drama is what I like to call Opera Pop Rock. The rock n roll drive mixed with glamourized over-the-top lyrics makes you feel confident. If you were watching a movie of your life, wouldn’t you want to laugh and cry? What’s life without a little drama?”

Making its debut this fall, The Drama follows Spencer’s viral 2024 hit, “Alive” , and the scintillating deluxe version of his debut album, In His Mania , which features fan-favorite single “Chicken Little” with global superstar Meaghan Trainor . 

A live performance powerhouse, Spencer is known for his effortlessly soulful vocals and timeless rock n’ roll musical stylings. Garnering much international excitement, he is gearing up to head out on an early 2025 tour throughout the EU/UK with added shows in Amsterdam and Cologne and upgraded venues throughout Germany and England due to popular demand.

Will protesters, or police, be the problem at the Democratic National Convention?

Simone Weichselbaum

Samira Puskar

Shaquille Brewster

More than 20,000 protesters are expected to cram into a 1.4 mile-long court-approved protest route near Democratic National Convention in Chicago next week, creating a potential standoff between demonstrators and a police department with a history of excessive force.

The 264 protest groups that have said will participate are primarily focused on Palestinian rights, ending the war in Gaza and reducing U.S. aid to Israel. Others represent a patchwork of left-leaning causes: climate activists, socialists, anti-racist organizations, queer and trans rights groups.

Harris to meet with Teamsters union roundtable

Kelly O'Donnell

Megan Lebowitz

Harris accepted an invitation to meet with a Teamsters union roundtable, according to the union and the Harris campaign.

"The vice president has received and gladly accepted an invitation by IBT leadership to participate in a candidate roundtable to discuss her record of fighting for Teamsters and their families and to highlight her vision for the future," the campaign said in a statement. "The campaign looks forward to scheduling the roundtable in the near future."

The union will have a presence at the Democratic National Convention, though union president Sean O'Brien will not be a speaker, according to a source familiar with DNC convention planning. O'Brien last month delivered a speech at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee.

Teamsters has previously held private meetings with both Trump and Biden.

Harris accepted the invitation today, said Teamsters spokesperson Kara Deniz, who added that the vice president's staff would coordinate a date for the roundtable.

Pennsylvania GOP Senate nominee stresses turning out base over swaying independent voters

Emma Barnett

Pennsylvania GOP Senate nominee Dave McCormick today stressed getting Republicans out to the polls as a higher priority than persuading independents to vote for him.

When McCormick was asked about his strategy to win the November election, he said at an energy roundtable earlier today, “You can’t even start to talk about independents or Democrats until you say, ‘Our people are out to vote.’”

McCormick said his strategy to push for high turnout is to be “everywhere all at the same time,” arguing the math is “pretty straightforward” when you look at the number of counties in Pennsylvania that are Republican leaning.

McCormick also acknowledged “a lot of volatility” because of the change at the top of the ticket on the Democratic side. But he remained adamant that once you have the “foundation” of big voter turnout, then you can start thinking about courting independent voters.

“Eleven percent of our voters are independent,” McCormick said. “Most of them are really unhappy with the future of the country and the future of Pennsylvania. Some of them are in supportive of President Trump, many of them are. I am hoping I can make a big push to get those folks very engaged.”

He said he believes the way to win this campaign is to make the choice between him and incumbent Sen. Bob Casey “very stark and clear.”

Pennsylvania Republican state Rep. Joe Hamm, who was part of the round table, said he has told Trump’s team members they need to be more disciplined in their messaging when they have asked him what he is hearing and seeing in the state.

“His messaging is killing us when he’s talking about how [Harris] identifies, you know, with her race. Who cares? Let’s talk about the border. Let’s talk about inflation and how, you know, hard work from Pennsylvania’s Americans are struggling to make ends meet. Let’s talk about their policies and what it’s done to our Commonwealth and this nation,” Hamm told McCormick.

McCormick responded, “When I talk about my campaign, it’s a team score. It is up and down the ballot. Hopefully my race can have an effect both up the ticket and down the ticket.”

Supreme Court temporarily rejects Biden administration request that would expand Title IX protections

Lawrence Hurley

Reporting from Washington, D.C.

The  Supreme Court  on Friday barred the Biden administration from enforcing parts of a  major regulation on sex discrimination in education  that is embroiled in litigation over its protections for transgender students.

The court rejected a request from the administration to allow less contentious parts of the regulation, many of which have nothing to do with gender identity, to go into effect in states where it has been challenged while lower courts wrangle over the contentious transgender issues.

Gov. Roy Cooper: 'I have that 2008 feeling'

North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper, who pulled out of consideration to be Harris' running mate , said in a CNN interview that he has "that 2008 feeling," referring to the last time his state voted for a Democratic presidential nominee.

"I said earlier today, 'I have that 2008 feeling,' and people in North Carolina know what that means. That's the last time we voted for a Democratic presidential nominee, Barack Obama," he said. "I have that same feeling now. I'm getting that vibe from voters that they want to make history again."

Trump campaign adviser says former president's schedule to 'increase'

Isabelle Schmeler

Corey Lewandowski, a newly appointed Trump senior campaign adviser, said in a Fox News interview that the former president's schedule will pick up.

"You’re going to see him on the road all week long, and you’re going to see the president’s schedule continue to increase, because I believe that the president’s best when he’s talking directly to the American people," Lewandowski said.

When asked what needed to change on Trump's campaign, Lewandowski pointed to wanting Trump to be "in front of the American people."

"I want him to talk to small gatherings, big gatherings, rallies, the policy speeches," he said. "That’s where he excels, and that’s where he’s the best. And I think the more people who get to see him and hear him, the more likely it is they’re going to support him."

Walz joins TikTok or, as he puts it, 'TimTok'

Walz is officially on TikTok, announcing his move in his first video on the social media site today.

Former U.S. Secret Service director now herself under protection amid threats

Zoë Richards

Former U.S. Secret Service director, Kimberly Cheatle has been designated a Secret Service protectee, after resigning her position in the wake of assassination attempt on Trump last month in Butler, Pennsylvania. 

Threats have been directed at Cheatle following the shooting, criticism over security failings and her appearance on Capitol Hill, according to a source familiar with the situation.

Cheatle resigned on July 23. 

She served as an agent of the Secret Service from 1995 to 2019, She then spent roughly three years in the private sector as a senior security official for Pepsi before she was named director of the Secret Service in 2022.

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., will deliver a speech at the Democratic National Convention on Wednesday, according to three sources familiar with the matter.

Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Chair Suzan DelBene, of Washington, and Rep. Tom Suozzi, of New York, will also make remarks on the same day.

Suozzi is expected to discuss immigration, the issue that made him a national figure after his rightward shift on the border helped him flip George Santos’s district in a special election this year.

Republicans have leaned into immigration and border issues as a primary line of attack against Harris, aiming to tie her to the issue.

Punchbowl News first reported the Wednesday speaking slots.

Cornel West disqualified from Michigan ballot

Jane C. Timm

Cornel West has been disqualified from appearing on Michigan's presidential ballot because the independent candidate's paperwork was not properly notarized, the state's board of elections announced Friday.

West was required to include a notarized affidavit of identity when filing to appear on Michigan’s ballot, but the Colorado notary who filled out the paperwork left out key details. The notary’s stamp was also on a separate piece of paper and not included with her certificate.

In a letter detailing the decision that was shared with NBC News, Michigan Director of Elections Jonathan Brater said officials reached out to West’s team in early August but did not hear back.

A spokesperson for West's campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The development is a boon for Democrats, who have worried that West might pull votes from their presidential ticket. Republicans have boosted West's efforts to get on the ballot in key battleground states.

Mark Brewer, an attorney and former chair of the Michigan Democratic Party, filed a challenge in July and a lawsuit this week to keep West off the state's ballot. Brewer successfully challenged the candidacy of five Republican gubernatorial candidates in 2022 after finding fraudulent signatures in their ballot qualification paperwork.

GOP megadonor Miriam Adelson plans to do whatever it takes to help Trump win with $100 million PAC

Brian Schwartz, CNBC

Billionaire Republican megadonor  Miriam Adelson  appears to have a blank check policy when it comes to her support of former President  Donald Trump , as she aims to help get him back to the  White House .

Adelson’s political aide Andy Abboud was overheard telling attendees at a campaign event at Trump’s golf club in  Bedminster, N.J. , on Thursday that whatever Trump needs from Adelson, he’s going to get, according to Abboud and a person with direct knowledge of the matter.

This person and one other in this article were granted anonymity to speak freely about private matters.

“We’re going to do whatever it takes for him to win,” Abboud said in a brief phone interview Friday with CNBC, confirming his comments overheard at the event. “In her [Adelson’s] mind, and in the minds of those who run the political action committee [Preserve America], we are going to do whatever it takes for him to win.”

Trump's voice featured on new song with rappers Kodak Black and Fivio Foreign

Nnamdi Egwuonwu

Donald Trump's voice is featured on a new rap song with New York rapper Fivio Foreign and Florida rapper Kodak Black titled “ONBOA47RD.”

Both rappers have publicly expressed support for Trump, particularly Kodak Black, whom Trump pardoned toward the end of his first term.

“Rap music imitates reality and these artists are showing their support for President Trump, which has become a common sentiment in the Black community,” Janiyah Thomas, campaign Black media director, said.

Clips of Trump speaking are used on the song’s intro and bridge: “I’m not supposed to be here tonight. I’m here today to announce a brand-new plan to deliver more opportunity, more security, more fairness.”

Both rappers made reference to Trump during their respective verses.

“I look at the gang and I pledge the allegiance. So we’re all Donald’s secret,” Foreign said.

“The government gave me a proclamation, turn my birthday to holiday,” Kodak Black said, referring to Trump’s pardon.

Kodak Black and Fivio Foreign have 30 million combined monthly listeners on Spotify, with the former a platinum selling artists and billboard chart topper.

Vance campaign plane makes emergency landing in Milwaukee

Alec Hernández

Reporting from aboard Vance's campaign plane

Minutes after taking off en route to Ohio, Vance's campaign plane made an emergency landing in Milwaukee after experiencing a mechanical issue with one of its doors.

"The pilot advised there was a malfunction with the door seal. After declaring an emergency, Trump Force Two returned to Milwaukee. As soon as the issue was resolved, the plane returned to its originally planned flight path back to Cincinnati,” Vance spokesperson Taylor Van Kirk said in a statement.

Campaigning in Milwaukee earlier this afternoon, Vance was set to return to his home base in Cincinnati after wrapping two stops in the area. The campaign's plane first took off just after 1:06 p.m. CT and touched back down safely 16 minutes later after declaring the emergency.

Nearly an hour later at 2:18 p.m. CT, the plane took off again headed to its original destination with the issue resolved.

Harris claims Trump tried to cut Medicare in office. Not quite.

In her North Carolina speech, Kamala Harris said of Trump, “He tried to cut Medicare every year he was president.”

It’s a misleading line that Democrats have been using for years, based on Trump’s budget proposals that restricted payments to Medicare providers and suppliers. As  NBC News has reported , Trump’s budgets didn’t cut Medicare benefits. The spending cuts for health care providers and suppliers have been embraced by Democrats, including in the Affordable Care Act, which Harris touted on Friday and vowed to protect.

In response to the Harris claim, Trump campaign spokesman Brian Hughes said, “Their shameless lies about President Trump are an attempt to distract from Harris’ abject failure in the White House.”

Harris contrasts her vision for America's economic future with Trump's

Elleiana Green Elleiana Green is a Digital Politics intern with NBC News

Finishing out her speech in Raleigh, Harris contrasted her economic proposals with those of the Trump campaign.

"Donald Trump plans to devastate the middle class, punish working people and make the cost of living go up for millions of Americans," she said.

She added that her administration would "bring down costs, increase the security and stability financially of your family, and expand opportunity for working and middle-class Americans."

Harris' promise to expand the child tax credit could face congressional opposition

Alexandra Marquez

In her speech, Harris promised "to not only restore [the child] tax credit, but expand it," adding that she would provide $6,000 to parents in the first year of a child's life.

If elected, Harris' proposal would almost surely face pushback in the Senate, which voted this month to block a smaller, bipartisan plan to impose a child tax credit.

Harris says she will 'end American housing shortage' as president

Harris said that her economic plan will "end America's housing shortage by building 3 million new homes and rentals."

"I know what home ownership means. It’s more than a financial transaction. It’s so much more than that. ... It’s a symbol of the pride that comes with hard work. It’s financial security. It represents what you will be able to do for your children," she said.

She added, "Sadly, right now, it is out of reach for far too many American families. ... As president, I will work in partnership with industry to build the housing we need both to rent and to buy."

Harris talks about Trump raising taxes on basic necessities

Rebecca Shabad

Harris talked about Trump raising taxes on necessities, referring to the former president saying he wants a 10% tariff on imported goods .

"It will mean higher prices on just about every one of your daily needs," she said. "A Trump tax on gas, a Trump tax on food, a Trump tax on clothing, a Trump tax on over-the-counter medication."

Trump told Fox News earlier this year that  it could be 60%  — maybe even “more than that” — on imports of Chinese goods.

Crowd applauds after Harris says she'll give cash to first-time homebuyers

"While we work on the housing shortage, my administration will provide first-time home buyers with $25,000 to help with the down payment on a new home," Harris told rallygoers in North Carolina, to big cheers.

"We can do this," she added.

Harris says she will go after 'bad actors' who raise prices

During the event to unveil her economic plan if she is elected president, Harris said she "will go after the bad actors" to protect consumers.

"Look, I know most businesses are creating jobs, contributing to our economy and playing by the rules, but some are not, and that's just not right, and we need to take action when that is the case," Harris said.

The former California attorney general said that she went after companies that illegally increased prices and won more than $1 billion for consumers. She said she'll do more as president.

Harris refers to her own middle-class upbringing

During her speech unveiling an economic policy platform, Harris told her family's story, sharing with attendees: "For most of my childhood, we were renters. My mother saved for well over a decade to buy a home."

"Later in college, I worked at McDonald's to earn spending money," Harris said, before acknowledging that "some of the people I worked with were raising families on that paycheck."

"They worked second or third jobs to pay rent or buy food. That only gets harder when the cost of living goes up," Harris added.

Harris says she would work to pass first U.S. ban on price-gauging on food

Harris said that, as president, she would work to pass the first federal ban on price-gauging on food.

"My plan will include new penalties for opportunistic companies that exploit crises and break the rules, and we will support smaller food businesses that are trying to play by the rules and get ahead," Harris said.

She continued: "We will help the food industry become more competitive ... more competition means lower prices for you and your families."

Harris says she'll lay out full her economic vision 'in the weeks to come'

Harris told the audience in Raleigh that she'll lay out her full economic vision "in the weeks to come," but today she will focus exclusively on the cost of living.

"I will address in greater detail my plans to build an opportunity economy, and today, I will focus on one element that's on the minds of many Americans as they pay their bills at the kitchen table or walk the aisles of a grocery store, and that is lowering the cost of living," she said.

She continued: "Look, the bills add up: food, rent, gas, back-to-school, clothes, prescription medication. After all that, for many families, there's not much left at the end of the month."

Harris says she will cut 'red tape' and build up middle class

During her speech in Raleigh, Harris said her economic plan as president will "focus on cutting needless bureaucracy and unnecessary regulatory red tape."

She added: "As president, I will bring together labor with small businesses and major companies to invest in America. ... Key to creating this opportunity economy is building up our middle class."

Harris acknowledges economic progress but admits that 'costs are still too high'

In her speech focused on the economy, Harris said that the country has come a "long way" under the Biden administration.

"We were facing one of the worst economic crises in modern history, and today, by virtually every measure, our economy is the strongest in the world," Harris said.

The administration, she said, has created 16 million new jobs and has made historic investments in chips, manufacturing, clean energy and inflation is under under 3%.

"And as president of the United States, it will be my intention to build on the foundation of this progress," she said. "Still, we know that many Americans don't yet feel that progress in their daily lives, costs are still too high and on a deeper level for too many people, no matter how much they work, it feels so hard to just be able to get ahead."

Harris said her administration would build what she calls "an opportunity economy."

Harris shouts out Gov. Cooper, who was on running mate shortlist

In her remarks, Harris mentioned North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper, who was once considered on her shortlist of running mates, before he withdrew from consideration .

Harris begins speech saying that she's been to North Carolina 16 times as VP

Harris began her speech in Raleigh by noting how many times she's been to North Carolina, a potential battleground state, since she became vice president: 16 times.

Arizona open primary initiative has enough signatures to make the ballot

A constitutional amendment to create open primaries in Arizona has more than enough signatures to make the ballot, a judge ruled today. The measure had 536,216 signatures, more than 150,000 over the required amount.

If the amendment is approved by voters, it would create an open primary for state, federal and county candidates. For most elections, between two and five of the top vote-getters would advance to the general election.

Supporters say opening up primaries to all voters would reduce extremism in politics and engage more Americans, while critics say the parties are entitled to nominate candidates as they choose. The measure would likely engage more of Arizona’s nearly 1.5 million unaffiliated voters in primaries; currently, they have to request a partisan ballot to participate in the primary election.

Earlier this month, the measure also survived a legal challenge that claimed it violated state law and the Arizona constitution. The case has been appealed to the state Supreme Court.

Former Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard to aid in Trump's debate prep

Garrett Haake

Former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard, who left the Democratic Party in 2022, will help Trump prepare for his debate against Harris, campaign spokesperson Karoline Leavitt confirmed.

“He does not need traditional debate prep but will continue to meet with respected policy advisors and effective communicators like Tulsi Gabbard, who successfully dominated Kamala Harris on the debate stage,” said Leavitt.

The former representative had her own exchange on the debate stage with Harris in 2019.

The news was first reported by The New York Times.

Vance says Trump wasn't 'denigrating' veterans in Medal of Honor remarks

In remarks to the Milwaukee Police Association, Vance defended Trump from criticism he's received after the former president claimed that a top presidential civilian award is "better" than the nation's highest military honor.

 "Trust me, the veteran community is very, very much behind Donald Trump," Vance told officers in Milwaukee.

"He’s a guy who loves our veterans and who honors our veterans," Vance added. "I don’t think him complimenting and saying a nice word about a person who received the Presidential Medal of Freedom is in any way denigrating those who received military honors."

Vance was referring to Trump's remarks yesterday at a campaign event where he shared a story about giving Republican donor Miriam Adelson the Presidential Medal of Freedom and told attendees that that award is "the equivalent of the Congressional Medal of Honor, but civilian version. It’s actually much better because everyone [who] gets the Congressional Medal of Honor, they’re soldiers. They’re either in very bad shape because they’ve been hit so many times by bullets or they’re dead."

The Harris campaign and other Trump critics quickly rebuked the former president for the remarks.

New polling digs into the Jewish vote, which could be the swing Pennsylvania demographic

Allan Smith

Jewish voters recently surveyed in battleground Pennsylvania favored Harris over Trump by 12 points, 55%-43%, according to a poll conducted by the Honan Strategy Group earlier this month and shared with NBC News.

The survey is actually somewhat encouraging for Trump. It’s not a frequently polled demographic, so there is little other data to compare to in Pennsylvania. But anywhere from 60% to 70% of Jewish voters nationally backed Democrats at the presidential level in recent elections, according to past research, so the survey may show some small amount of movement toward him.

And Pennsylvania is the swing state with the most Jewish voters, so even a small swing toward the former president could make a big difference.

The pollster assembled the sample by contacting voters with common Jewish surnames, and respondents then self-identified when asked. The group polled 400 Jewish voters from July 26 to Aug. 1, with a margin or error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points.

The survey was conducted on behalf of the TEACH Coalition/Orthodox Union, Jewish advocacy groups that have gotten involved in recent elections, including the successful primary campaign against Rep. Jamaal Bowman, D-N.Y., earlier this year.

“What was surprising was how close the numbers were between Harris and Trump,” said Maury Litwack, founder of the TEACH coalition. “If you look at the Jewish vote in presidential elections, the Democratic candidate usually wins in the 60s, sometimes in the low 70s, but you don’t see it tracking as closely as you do here.”

The survey found Harris’ net favorability among those surveyed at +10, while Trump’s was -19. On Israel, 53% said they believed Harris supported the Jewish state while 39% said she did not or was actively against the country. For Trump, 44% said he was excellent or good at handling U.S./Israel relations.

Roughly two-thirds of respondents said the Oct. 7 Hamas attack and a rise in antisemitism made them more likely to vote.

Interestingly, the survey found the inclusion of Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, who is Jewish, as Harris’ running mate would have made essentially no difference in her polling versus Trump.

'We're rewriting history:' Biden signs proclamation to designate 1908 Springfield Race Riot site a national monument

Joined by civil rights advocates and members of Congress in the Oval Office, President Joe Biden signed a proclamation today to designate the site of the 1908 Springfield Race Riot a national monument.

"We're rewriting history. We're allowing history to be written as what happened. So our children, our grandchildren and everybody understands what happened and what could still happen," Biden said.

The landmark, where mobs of white residents tore through in 1908 to attack two Black men, became the site of a deadly riot where the white mob took their anger out on the city's Black population. By the end of the riot, two innocent Black men were hanged and homes and businesses in Springfield's majority-Black neighborhoods were demolished and burned to the ground.

The proclamation comes weeks after Sonya Massey was shot and killed in her Springfield home after she called 911 for help.

Sen. Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill., who previously worked to make the site a national landmark in Congress, joined Biden in the Oval Office today to commemorate the joint effort.

"Good things can come out of bad things, as long as you don't forget what happened," Duckworth said.

'We're closer than we've ever been,' Biden says about Israel-Hamas cease-fire negotiations

The Associated Press

Biden told reporters at an Oval Office event to designate the site of the 1908 race riot in Springfield, Illinois, as a national monument that a cease-fire deal between Israel and Hamas is closer than ever.

"One of the reasons why I was late for you all was I was dealing with the cease-fire effort in the Middle East, and we are closer than we've ever been," he said. "I don't want to jinx anything, but as my grandfather used to say, with the grace of God ... and a lot of luck."

"We may have something, but we’re not there yet," the president added, saying an agreement was "much, much closer than it was three days ago. So keep your fingers crossed."

Mediators wrapped up two days of talks today with a final so-called bridging proposal aimed at shoring up the remaining disagreements and bringing about a quick end to the conflict and the release of hostages held by Hamas. Both sides agreed to a blueprint Biden  outlined on May 31 , but talks dragged on as Hamas and Israel accused each other of trying to kill the deal with various demands.

A new Harvard study shows that celebrity endorsements make a difference in presidential elections as well as in political and civic engagement.

Vance is traveling with a special guest: the family dog

Vance, on his way to Wisconsin for midday remarks, is traveling with a special guest today: his family dog.

Atlas, a 9-month-old German shepherd, traveled in the senator's motorcade from the Vances' Cincinnati home to the airport for the quick one-hour flight to Milwaukee.

He lurched up the steps onto the plane a few strides ahead of the senator who held his leash in one hand and an umbrella in the other. Vance's wife, Usha Vance, is also joining today's campaign trip.

White House plans staff moves as aides switch to Harris campaign

Monica Alba

Two White House staffers are expected to depart the Biden administration soon to join Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign, as the operation expands in the final 80-day sprint to election day, according to two administration officials and one campaign official familiar with the moves who were granted anonymity to discuss internal decisions.

With the departures, the White House is promoting deputy communications director Herbie Ziskend to an elevated role to help handle messaging around   President Joe Biden’s legacy, as he nears his final months in office, one of the officials said.

Kristen Orthman, White House principal deputy communications director, will be leaving her post to join the Harris campaign in a planning role that will coordinate across several departments, these people said.

Ian Sams, the White House counsel spokesman for oversight, will move over to the campaign as a senior spokesperson. His departure was first reported by The Washington Post.

The Harris campaign plans to announce more new staff roles as early as today, according to a source familiar with the matter.

Speaker Johnson to fundraise with GOP candidate who backed Jan. 6 arrestees

Sarah Mimms

House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., will fundraise for Trump-endorsed candidate Joe Kent tomorrow as Kent takes another swing at capturing a western Washington congressional district this fall.

Kent, a veteran and Trump loyalist, drew criticism during his 2022 campaign, suggesting that the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol may have been an “ intelligence operation ” aimed at entrapping Trump supporters. He was one of two congressional candidates who spoke at a September 2021 rally in support of Jan. 6 arrestees, casting them as “ political prisoners ,” eight months after the Capitol riot.

Trump endorsed Kent in 2022 and again this year. Kent is facing a rematch with Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, D-Wash., who defeated him last cycle and flipped a Republican-held district that voted for Trump in 2020. Washington's 3rd District is a top GOP target and is expected to be highly competitive again this year.

Harris campaign blasts Trump's Medal of Honor comments

Harris' campaign ripped Trump today over his comments yesterday calling the Presidential Medal of Freedom a "much better" award than the Congressional Medal of Honor, claiming those who receive the latter award have often been killed or badly injured.

"Donald Trump knows nothing about service to anyone or anything but himself," Harris campaign spokesperson Sarafina Chitika said today in a statement. "For him to insult Medal of Honor recipients, just as he has previously attacked Gold Star families, mocked prisoners of war, and referred to those who lost their lives in service to our country as ‘suckers’ and ‘losers,’ should remind all Americans that we owe it to our service members, our country, and our future to make sure Donald Trump is never our nation’s commander in chief again,"

Speaking at a campaign event yesterday, Trump lauded Miriam Adelson, whom he awarded the Medal of Freedom during his presidency, saying, "That’s the highest award you can get as a civilian. It’s the equivalent of the Congressional Medal of Honor."

“But civilian version, it’s actually much better because everyone [who] gets the Congressional Medal of Honor, they’re soldiers. They’re either in very bad shape because they’ve been hit so many times by bullets or they’re dead," Trump added, drawing condemnation from Democrats.

New Jersey governor appoints former aide to fill Sen. Bob Menendez’s seat

New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy announced he is appointing his former chief of staff George Helmy to temporarily replace Bob Menendez when the disgraced Democratic senator resigns next week following his  conviction on corruption charges .

Helmy first served as Murphy’s chief of staff in 2019. He  left the post  last year and has been working for a  major health care company in New Jersey .

Before he worked in the governor’s office, Helmy spent several years working   for Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., in various roles, including  state director . Helmy also spent time in the private sector and was an aide to the late Sen. Frank Lautenberg,  according to the governor’s office .

Health care workers tout key Biden-era law in open letter backing Harris, critiquing Trump

A coalition of 500 health care professionals have signed an open letter repudiating efforts by Republicans to repeal the Inflation Reduction Act, citing attacks on the law by Trump and a call to repeal it in the Heritage Foundation’s "Project 2025" materials.

In the letter , first obtained by NBC News, the signatories call Harris and Walz "the only candidates in this race who will fight for our patients and lower health care costs."

"At a time when too many families struggle to afford medical care, we have to take steps to increase affordability and lower costs. We can’t go back to a time when seniors rationed their insulin because they couldn’t afford it," the letter reads. "The IRA must stay, and be strengthened."

The law instituted a $35 cap on the cost of insulin, a popular achievement that has been all over Democratic campaign ads. It also lowered some prescription drug costs and enabled Medicare to negotiate the price of prescription drugs with pharmaceutical companies, which Biden and Harris touted during a joint event in Largo, Maryland, yesterday.

The release of the letter coincides with the two-year anniversary of the law and comes as Harris proposes other measures to reduce health costs during a campaign event in Raleigh, North Carolina, this afternoon.

Harris campaign to hold bus tour across western Pennsylvania

The Harris campaign says it's set to hold a bus tour across western Pennsylvania, a key battleground state, on Sunday.

The tour will include appearances by Harris, her running mate Gov. Tim Walz, her husband Doug Emhoff, and Walz's wife, Gwen Walz. They will focus on meeting voters, and the stops will include phone banks and canvassing, among other things, the campaign said.

The tour will start in Pittsburgh and continue with stops through Allegheny and Beaver counties.

"The Vice President and Governor Walz will expand upon the 2020 coalition in Pennsylvania, in part by highlighting their efforts to strengthen organized labor and the more than 500,000 Pennsylvania jobs created under the Biden-Harris administration through historic programs like the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and Inflation Reduction Act," the campaign said.

Trump says presidential civilian award is ‘better’ than top military honor whose recipients are ‘dead’ or ‘hit’ by bullets

Jake Traylor

Ginger Gibson Senior Washington Editor

Trump lauded a wealthy donor on whom  he bestowed  the Presidential Medal of Freedom as having gotten the “better” award compared to the top military honor, the Medal of Honor, because those recipients are often deceased or injured.

Speaking at a campaign event intended to discuss antisemitism, Trump was introduced by Miriam Adelson, a wealthy Republican donor and widow of Sheldon Adelson, who pumped millions of dollars of his own money into electing Republican candidates.  He died in 2021 .

“That’s the highest award you can get as a civilian. It’s the equivalent of the Congressional Medal of Honor,” Trump said, referring to the highest military honor bestowed for valor in combat. The Medal of Honor is often mistakenly called the Congressional Medal of Honor. 

“But civilian version, it’s actually much better because everyone [who] gets the Congressional Medal of Honor, they’re soldiers. They’re either in very bad shape because they’ve been hit so many times by bullets or they’re dead,” Trump concluded.

Trump staffs his presidential transition team with advisers and family

In a press release, Trump announced that his presidential transition team would be led by Linda McMahon, Howard Lutnick, Sen. JD Vance, and two of his sons, Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr.

McMahon  was the Small Business Administration administrator in the Trump administration and currently serves as the board chair for the America First Policies Institute, a conservative group.

Lutnick is the CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald.

The launch of this transition team comes later than in previous presidential campaign cycles. In 2016, Trump's campaign announced his transition leadership in May. In 2020, Biden launched his in April. 

Harris looks to sharpen economic message with a focus on cutting costs

Shannon Pettypiece

For much of his presidency, Joe Biden struggled to convince Americans their financial condition was better than they perceived. Now, Vice President Kamala Harris will try to shake those negative perceptions as voters continue to fret about the trajectory of the economy. 

Harris will lay out more details on her economic policy agenda during a speech in North Carolina today where she is expected to focus on lowering prices, including a plan to prevent price gouging by major food producers and grocers, the campaign said. Harris will also propose a crackdown on acquisitions among food companies if those deals could lead to higher grocery prices. 

The economy and concerns around rising costs have been among the top issues for voters, who have consistently given Biden low marks. While Biden sought to emphasize the positives, like relatively low unemployment and strong economic growth, he was unable to improve voters’ sentiments amid decades-high inflation. Former President Donald Trump has sought to tie Harris to the view on Biden, frequently asserting that she bears responsibility for all of the current administration’s policies.

Officials explore equipping election workers with ‘panic buttons’ to combat rising threats

Lisa Cavazuti

Officials in a key county in battleground Georgia are taking a new step to ensure election workers’ safety amid rising threats, equipping them with so-called panic buttons that would allow them to quickly contact authorities in emergencies.

The Board of Commissioners in Cobb County, a suburban area northwest of Atlanta, this week approved $47,250 in funding to purchase around 200 devices for election workers ahead of another heated presidential election this fall.

The panic buttons are being sold by Runbeck Election Services, an Arizona-based company that prints ballots and sells election equipment, including printers, to counties across the country, through a partnership with the Ohio-based security company Response Technologies. The devices are roughly the size of a credit card and can be worn on lanyards or tucked in pockets. They pair with users’ cellphones to dispatch GPS locations to the authorities when activated.

Trump owns more than $1M in crypto and made $300K on branded Bibles, financial disclosure shows

Trump owns more than $1 million in cryptocurrency and made $300,000 on  branded Bibles , a personal financial disclosure form released yesterday shows.

The branded Bible, listed in the disclosure as “ The Greenwood Bible ,” sells for $59.99 and includes a handwritten chorus to the song “God Bless the U.S.A.” by country singer Lee Greenwood, according to the branded Bible’s website. A limited edition copy bearing Trump’s signature is also available on the website for $1,000.

The disclosure included details about a cryptocurrency wallet and “virtual ethereum key” holdings that he valued at $1 million to $5 million.

Trump’s public positions on crypto have shifted since he first took office, when he said the  digital currency was a scam .

Harris campaign to hold a 'weekend of action' ahead of the convention

The Harris campaign says it's holding a "weekend of action" ahead of the Democratic National Convention next week in Chicago.

The campaign is expected to hold 2,800 events in battleground states including phone banks, canvassing, meet-ups, organizing booths and even "Project 2025 message trainings," the campaign said.

More than 10,000 people have volunteered to participate in the events, the campaign said, adding that Democratic leaders and surrogates will also take part. They include Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., who was the 2016 Democratic vice presidential nominee, as well as a number of House Democrats, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and his husband, Chasten Buttigieg, and celebrities such as actress Emmy Rossum and singer Ben Folds.

Harris to endorse protections for renters and removal of key tax benefits for Wall Street investors buying homes

Yamiche Alcindor

Harris’ campaign rolled out some of her housing policy proposals yesterday, including her support for efforts aimed at lowering the cost of rent and helping renters who are struggling financially, according to details obtained by NBC News from a campaign official.

Harris is proposing plans to stop data firms from driving up lease rates and plans aimed at stopping Wall Street investors from buying up and reselling homes in bulk at a higher price, according to the proposal.

Jill Biden to honor her husband at convention Monday — an appearance that once was going to be much different

First lady Jill Biden will have a role at the Democratic National Convention on Monday as part of a larger tribute to her husband, President Joe Biden, as both will appear in different capacities than was planned just a few weeks ago when he was still the party’s presidential nominee. 

It is expected to be a particularly poignant moment for a first lady who has often been his fiercest defender, marking a public transition for the couple after they navigated the most challenging political chapter of their lives. 

The first lady has privately expressed dismay at some Democrats who were quietly supportive but publicly did not stand by her husband while he was weighing whether to stay in the presidential race, according to two people familiar with her thinking.

She now wants to ensure that his legacy of decades of public service is protected, these people said.  

Trump dodged a question on his pending federal cases from NBC News’ Vaughn Hillyard, who asked if Trump would ask an attorney general to dismiss his federal cases if elected as president. Trump responded that he didn’t want to speak about the cases. 

Harris to propose tax cuts in North Carolina speech

Harris will propose a range of new tax cuts during her remarks in Raleigh, North Carolina, later today, according to Harris-Walz campaign officials.

Her proposal will include cutting taxes for middle-class families with kids, restoring the American Rescue Plan’s expanded Child Tax Credit, providing up to $3,600 per child tax credit for middle-class families, and introducing a $6,000 child tax credit for families with children in the first year of life, her campaign said.

The decision to unveil a new tax platform in North Carolina mirrors Trump, who delivered a speech on his economic proposals — and a host of other subjects — in the Tar Heel State on Wednesday.

Where's Biden today?

Carly Roman

Biden will begin his day at the White House, where he will receive the president’s daily brief. Later, he will sign a proclamation to designate the Springfield 1908 Race Riot National Monument .

Later, Biden will depart the White House en route to Camp David.

Lourdes Volunteers takes great care to preserve the reverence and sanctity of the pilgrimage experience as we bring it to those who cannot actually go to Lourdes. From the parish pew in two hours or in a classroom with a 40-minute program, Lourdes Virtual Pilgrimage Experience™ is a perfect spiritual experience for parishes, schools, universities, nursing homes, convents and prisons!

North America Tours and Trips 2024/2025

The northern half of the Americas is made up of a complex tapestry of 23 independent states that are made up of large land masses and smaller islands. From Ellesmere island, the most northern point of Canada to the famous feat of the Panama Canal and the paradisiacal Caribbean islands, a trip to North America brings together a mass of cultural influences. The European impact is seen heavily throughout, especially within the United States and Canada , while more African and indigenous American influences remain towards the south of the subcontinent.

North America - Tour Highights and Travel Tips

Travel Highlights

• Look out across the ever-skyward New York city skyline from the 102 floor of the Empire State building.
• Kayak along the crystalline Lake Louise under the Victoria glacier in Alberta, Canda.
• Wander the winding streets, grand squares and galleries of Old Montreal.
• Cycle across the Golden Gate bridge, San Francisco .
• Sample the delicious blend of where east meets west in San Francisco’s China Town.
• Step out onto the North Rim Lodge of the Grand Canyon and just try to comprehend the scale of what you’re seeing.
• Dare to cross the Capilano suspension bridge, Vancouver .
• Grab a few friends, a convertible car and traverse the classic Route 66 between Chicago and Los Angeles .
• Stay in a majestic, restored hacienda of the Yucatán before climbing the pyramids of Chichén Itzá, one of the seven wonders of the world, found on Mexico’s  Yucatán Peninsula.
• Watch a traditional Lucha Libre wrestling show at Arena México, Mexico City’s largest wrestling arena.
• Climb through the cloud forest of Reserva Biológica Bosque Nuboso Monteverde in Costa Rica .
• Explore the surprisingly cosmopolitan Panama City , the most sophisticated in Central America. Don’t forget to check out the Panama Canal.
• Relax amongst the colourful huts of the tiny island of Caye Caulker island in Belize .

Travel Tips

• Hostels and guest houses are great accommodation options in North America. They’re a surefire way to meet locals and other travellers and, especially in the more southern parts can be as cheap as $5-$10 per night.
• Camping in national parks is also a different way to experience the country you’re visiting. Spend a night under the stars and make a memory that will last forever.
• In the United States and Canada, food portions are usually giant compared to other parts of the world. Don’t be afraid to ask for leftovers to go - one meal can end up lasting you the whole day!
• In more southern countries, such as Mexico, local restaurants are where you want to eat. A decent local meal can cost just a couple of dollars and will be a taste explosion.
• While in North America, embrace buses. From cross-country coaches to mini-van style local routes, they’re by far the cheapest way to get around in almost any country you’ll visit.
• Flying is also another easy, and often affordable, transport method. Though it won’t equate to a bus journey.
• Tipping is a big deal in North America. Hospitality wages in almost all North American countries are low, so an appropriate tip of between 15-20% of the bill. Having a wad of $1 bills will make your time tipping in North America much easier.

Awesome experience Absolutely unreal landscape. Experiencing the heat was fantastic. Loved it. Great little oasis to visit with general store and museum.

An extraordinary tour far away from the tourist crowds, our guide Chris was concerned about our well-being, we all had a lot of fun, this tour is a real insider tip!!!

Southwest Adventure Tours

• Excellent - 109 reviews for USA tours

This was my 1st solo group trip & felt safe & comfortable. The tour guide was so friendly, warm & knowledgeable! I really enjoyed my little Mighty 5 adventure!

Our group had a great time exploring the Mighty 5. Our Guide Greg, made sure to keep our group informed and entertained. The vehicle was comfortable for all of the riding that our trip entailed. We really feel like we did and saw the Mighty 5, except, we really thought that we were going to hike the "Narrows." Once we got over that, everyone was good. It was nice that there were separate hiking options based on experience. Even though we were made aware, several times, that we picked the cheapest tour that you all offer, we had no regrets. The motels were basic, but all of the staff were hard working and excellent, and the rooms were clean. I would strongly reccomend this tour if the Might 5 is on your list.

• Excellent - 1,009 reviews for USA tours

We had a very good experience with the Wild West tour. The itinerary was great given the limited time at each location. Special thanks to our tour guides Brenda and Roberto and the driver from LV to LA, whose quick thinking saved us from a 24 hr pile-up.

We liked the tour guides, the bus driver and everything we saw very much, there are quite a few miles to cover but the breaks and everything around it were very good, only one hotel didn't suit us at all...it was very run down.

Great time and experience

We are happy and satisfied

• Excellent - 1,962 reviews for USA tours

Would like to have walked down the main street of Chinatown. We're very disappointed in the side street we walked on. If you are going to offer snacks, please make sure all can participate. Found it a little offensive that even after the second day of not being able to receive a snack, all the same snacks were continually offered.

Extraordinary experience!!!! I’ll never forget!! Thank you so much for this great opportunity.

• Excellent - 5,681 reviews for USA tours

The tour was amazing, the manager did a top notch job, it’s great for making lots of friends, such a blast. A little rushed and fast paced, but it’s better than the stress of organising your own trip. Definitely doing it again

I thought it was great and would do it again any time!

BrushBuck Wildlife Tours

• Excellent - 25 reviews for USA tours

Neil our guide was amazing, my husband and I had a great time.

Ronnie and I loved the tour. Our guide Rachel, was extremely professional in her work. Full of knowledge about different animals as well as some history lessons. It took me a while, but they are called bison , not buffalo. ? But what really blew my mind, was her keen eye on the landscape as she was driving. She could spot animals very well, and gave us many opportunities to take photos and look through the high powered scope. Rachel is surely a people person, jumping right in there to become friends with strangers, laughing and carrying on with us. Even when we were all getting excited about stopping to see the two grizzly bears mating, questions being tossed at her. She was calm and gave answers and instructions like a mother with her children. ?? Not that we’d tell our young kids what was going on. They were the hugging bears. ?? It pays to ask someone on the road what they are looking at, and that video Rachel captured is priceless. Guys, pay attention! ? She was a very safe driver as we encountered many elements of weather. She also sent us pictures and videos from her scope of the many, many, animals we saw. I would highly recommend this tour, it’s worth every penny. The hotels were awesome and cute, especially in Cooke City Montana. It was as if we were going back to the early days. The restaurants were good and Rachel even recommended good eats. Met some wonderful people and will always cherish this trip, as we witnessed God’s creation. Thanks again. Ronnie and Mary Jane from Wharton Texas. See y’all. ?

If went just as planned. We were back at DIA in plenty of time to catch our flight out.

Hotels, not convenient for meals or cocktails. Not enough included options.

Intrepid Travel

• Excellent - 11,795 reviews for USA tours

THis was our first touring experience and it was great. With the exception of a cancelled flight going to the tour and some miss communication in the beginning of when we would get there, it was fantastic. Our guide was great and well organized.

The trip on it self is awesome. The parks we visit were stunning. However as I booked with Tour radar, it was not mention anywhere the level of the trip. I knew during the trip that this same trip is advertised as a compfy trip with intensity 2/5 on intrepid website. I found my self with 65 Y+ while Im 35 Y and for the hikes it was inconvenient. Hope it will change on the marketplace.

Insight Vacations

• Excellent - 650 reviews for USA tours

The 40 seat luxury coach broke down at the end of day 1 of our 9 day Insight Vacations Wonders of the American West coach tour in May. It was replaced for the rest of our tour by a 56 seater coach with significantly less legroom, and seatbelts that didn’t have the side adjuster that enables you to stop the belt rubbing into your neck if you’re a certain body shape. For us, the reason for choosing Insight was their luxury coach, so every day on the 56 seater was a reminder that (to use a flying analogy) we had paid for business class and were getting economy class. We had booked through a travel agent because we’d read the online reviews warning of Insight’s poor communication. The travel agent Freedom Destinations, who supported us, put forward our complaint to Insight. Insight sympathised but cited their terms and conditions that don’t require them to replace the luxury coach with one of the same quality. To an extent I understand that they need to cover themselves for an instance where a luxury replacement isn’t available on the day of the breakdown, but not to provide one at any stage of the remainder of our tour feels like either poor contingency planning or cost-saving. Insight refused our request for a cash payment as compensation. Instead they offered a discount voucher for use on a future trip. We declined the voucher as we do not believe it to be fair to only offer compensation that is dependent upon customers re-using a service, and our faith in their organisation and their coach suppliers Holiday Motor Coach has been broken. Such a shame, because the sights on the trip were wonderful, as were the people we travelled with. 1 star to highlight the risks associated with a breakdown to other potential customers for whom the luxury coach is important.

Overall it was a good experience. Excellent tour director and driver. The food was inconsistent as to quality and service. The lodgings were fine for the type of trip. Too much time was spent at Monument Valley/Mystery valley and not enough time at Grand Canyon.

• Excellent - 74,917 reviews for USA tours

The tour guide and bus driver exceeded all expectations; they were a very organized, customer oriented team. Highly recommend them and the itinerary. The only stop that wasn't "great" was Sacramento, which could possibly be skipped in the future. The food and lodging were great too.

My mother had a medical emergency in the week before and the trip needed to be canceled. Globus refused to reschedule and refund the trip and my parents are now out $5000. In a post covid world, it is inexcusable to not allow people to reschedule or refund canceled tours for unexpected medical emergencies. I will gladly spread the word about how poorly Globus treats their customers.

Bamba Travel

• Good - 1,697 reviews for USA tours

The itinerary provided by tour radar was not exactly how the tour was set up. One of our stops said we would be doing a cruise on lake Powell. That was not provided with the tour. Also the hotels that they said we would be staying at did not line up.

Overall, the tour was very fun and we'll put together. The tour guides were all friendly, and seemed to work well as a team. Accomodations were not bad, but there were better options directly adjacent. Food options were pretty much all fast food, which makes sense for the tour concept. However, dinner options could have been a bit better. We really would have appreciated a little more hiking and exploring time, and a couple of the guides did the best to accommodate that. However, 20 minute stops are just not enough time to get "out and experience" the areas.

Europamundo

• Good - 4,350 reviews for USA tours

Wonderful tour! Highly recommend

My family and I enjoyed the whole tour. Arrangements for transport, accommodation, local tours and guide, all have been well planned and suitable. Our special thanks to Luis who professionally arranged everything and we had no problem at all during our 10 days. I also like to mention about the driver who been very proficient throughout the trip. Will again plan trip with Europomundo in future. Salim Muhammad Melbourne, Australia

National Geographic Journey…

• Excellent - 269 reviews for USA tours

Trip on balance was a positive experience and I would do it again. The key negative was the Golden Nugget hotel which added nothing positive to the trip. The hotel was past its prime, and was too busy and loud. The rest of the accommodations were good.

Good time with lots of riding in the van going to interesting places

• Excellent - 19,696 reviews for USA tours

This is a long overdue review and I don’t know why I didn’t take the time to write this before. This Ontario and French Canada tour with Susan was amazing. Everything was well organized and enough time were spent at each attraction. Totally have no complaints!

Great tour, driver and leader.
