Meet the Press Reports: Water is a vital and precious resource. How do we keep it secure and make sure all Americans have access to clean and usable water?

Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax said during the state’s Democratic gubernatorial debate Tuesday night that he was treated like George Floyd and Emmett Till when Democrats immediately called for his resignation after two women accused him of sexual assault in 2019.

The shootings in Boulder, Colorado, and the Atlanta-area last month that left 18 people dead has reignited the political exchange around gun control. But that discussion shouldn't overshadow the stark contrast in the political response to the two attacks or in the news media coverage.

In the wake of the Atlanta-area shootings and the significant rise in violence toward Asian Americans, a bipartisan group of 26 governors released a letter Friday morning in solidarity and support for the Asian American and Pacific Islander community.

After six Asian women were killed at three Atlanta-area spas on Tuesday, the phrase "stop Asian hate" trended on social media for two days and a national spotlight was cast on a year of violence against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders. As a community grieves and says it is gripped by fear, civil rights leaders say people are looking to the vice president, the most prominent Asian American in politics.

Trump continues to question 'Kamala' pronunciation, and it highlights why some people of color feel a push to code switch.

The California senator is partly focused on increasing Democratic margins over Trump, including in key battleground states.

“So tell me about Joe,” Kamala Harris asks Barack Obama, in a new campaign video released Tuesday. The video, provided first to NBC News, features the former president talking with Harris about his relationship with Joe Biden.

Joe Biden has chosen Kamala Harris, the prominent senator from California whose political career has included many barrier-breaking moments, as his running mate, his campaign announced on Tuesday.

Largely overlooked in the public VP discussions, Biden's selection of a running mate with Asian American roots could appeal to growing populations in key states.
