Election Season

As you can tell by the ads... the 2024 campaign is heatin' up.

On Wednesday, former President Trump gave an interview before the National Association of Black Journalists in Chicago that started contentious and ended early. He criticized the host for asking questions “in a hostile manner” and sparked controversy discussing her heritage, saying VP Harris now “wants to be known as Black.”

A spokesperson for Harris, who is the daughter of a Jamaican father and an Indian mother, responded that Trump “cannot unite America, so he attempts to divide us.”

Speaking of Harris, she’s (almost) official. Democratic delegates began casting virtual votes to nominate VP Harris as their candidate—she's running unopposed. Harris has said her veepstakes will end no later than Tuesday, promising to appear at a Philadelphia rally with her running mate.

CHRISTIAN PERSPECTIVE
During any election season, it’s easy to see the shortcomings of our opponents and cast ourselves in the right. When we find ourselves grumbling about others, we must remember to check our own hearts. 

“Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.”
