Election 2024 updates: Michelle Obama to speak at DNC this week

The Trump campaign has made a series of familiar new hires with a little more than 80 days left until the election.

Trump announced Corey Lewandowski, his former 2016 campaign manager, is joining his 2024 campaign as a senior adviser, while making clear that his campaign is still being spearheaded by Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles.

"The Enthusiasm is GREAT, and the Management Team, headed up by Susie Wiles and Chris LaCivita, is THE BEST. Many people want to join the Campaign for the final push, some from the first two Campaigns -- And we want as many as we can get," Trump posted on his social media platform.

It comes as earlier this week, ABC News confirmed Taylor Budowich, who had been leading pro-Trump super PAC MAGA Inc., left the super PAC to join the Trump campaign as a senior adviser.

Alex Bruesewitz, who has been an active conservative voice online, also joined the campaign recently, ABC News confirmed. More staff hires are expected to be announced.

Julia Louis-Dreyfus, American actress and star of political satire "Veep," will host a panel with eight female Democratic governors during the Democratic National Convention next week.

"I'm honored to host this conversation with America's Democratic women governors while our party comes together to celebrate in Chicago," Louis-Dreyfus said in a press release, adding that Democratic women governors have "made history" and that "their voices are essential."

"Veep" ran for seven years on HBO and concluded in 2019, but viewership recently resurged as fans noticed parallels between the fictional plot and real-life politics.

Like Kamala Harris, Louis-Dreyfus' character Selina Meyer served as a female vice president of the United States. She undertook her own presidential campaign after the sitting president changed his mind about reelection and dropped out of the race.

The day after President Biden stepped down from the 2024 presidential race, the Emmy-award winning series reportedly experienced a 353% increase in viewership, according to data from Luminate, an entertainment data company that tracks streaming viewership.

Louis-Dreyfus appeared at the 2020 DNC where she served as an emcee and made multiple jabs at former President Donald Trump.

In 2020, Harris wrote on X, "Veep to veep, you're crushing it!"

The vice presidential debate hosted by CBS News is set for Oct. 1 in New York City, the network announced on Thursday morning, with both Gov. Tim Walz and Sen. JD Vance agreeing to participate.

Vance on Thursday agreed to debate Walz on Oct. 1.

The debate will be moderated by "CBS Evening News" anchor and managing editor Norah O'Donnell and "Face the Nation" moderator and CBS News chief foreign affairs correspondent Margaret Brennan.

CBS News on Wednesday said it invited the 2024 vice presidential nominees to debate, providing four dates as options. Walz indicated that he'd agreed to one on Oct. 1.

Vance said in a post on X that not only did he accept the CBS News debate on Oct. 1, but also challenged Walz to debate again on Sept. 18.

ABC News has asked the Harris campaign if Walz will also accept the Sept. 18 debate.

"The American people deserve as many debates as possible, which is why President Trump has challenged Kamala to three of them already," Vance said.
