Newspaper headlines: Kamala Harris 'anointed' as 'dollars pour in'

Nearly all the papers focus on the US presidential race for a second day, as Vice-President Kamala Harris secured a wave of endorsements from leading Democrats. The Times says Ms Harris declared "we're going to win this" in a message on X. Her campaign received $81m (£62.6m) in donations in just 24 hours - a record amount - plus a further £150m from a Democratic fundraising committee, the paper adds.

Among the Democrat grandees endorsing Ms Harris is former House speaker Nancy Pelosi, the Guardian reports. It describes Ms Pelosi as "hugely influential" and one of Ms Harris's most significant backers yet. It quotes Ms Pelosi as saying she has known Ms Harris for decades and that the vice-president is "rooted in strong values, faith and a commitment to public service".

The Financial Times says the steady stream of support from senior Democrats could mean the party avoids any "potential chaos" when it meets next month to officially pick its candidate.

Ms Harris is described as "the anointed" by the i newspaper. But polls suggest she faces an uphill battle, the paper adds - and the Trump campaign is targeting her over her record in office.

The Daily Telegraph also says the Democratic pick is looking like a "coronation" for Ms Harris. The paper reports that she is likely to pick a white man as her running mate to "boost her chances" in battleground states. It says some are concerned that her background as a liberal Californian politician could discourage some working class voters.

The Metro's headline "Yes she can" plays on the "Yes we can" slogan used by former president Barack Obama in 2008 - but the paper points out Mr Obama has so far held back from giving Ms Harris his support. He is said to be anxious not to make her nomination appear a done deal, the Metro says.

And the Daily Star throws a curveball for Ms Harris's nomination bid. UK psychic Jemima Packington claims to be able to read the future using asparagus and says the next president will be Michelle Obama. Ms Packington does her readings by looking at the shapes made by the spears when they’re thrown onto a surface. "We're defo putting £20 on Michelle at William Hill," the Star adds.

Away from the US, the Daily Mail takes aim at the new government over illegal immigration. Home Secretary Yvette Cooper has said they are resuming the processing of asylum claims - including those who arrived in the UK illegally. Under the axed Rwanda scheme, people who arrived illegally would not have been allowed to settle in the UK - but the Mail says 70,000 people could now be granted asylum.

The Daily Mirror's front page focuses on a tragic car accident on a rural road in West Yorkshire, which saw an 11-year-old girl lose both her parents and two sisters. Separately, the paper's main picture is of actress and former Strictly Come Dancing contestant Amanda Abbington, as the show continues to find itself at the centre of controversy with more allegations made.

The car crash in West Yorkshire also makes the front page of the Daily Express. But its lead story is an exclusive interview with Reform UK leader Nigel Farage, who has predicted that more Tory MPs will defect to his party within the next year.

Many of the front pages feature a photograph of Kamala Harris with a broad smile as they report on her bid to win the Democratic presidential nomination.

The Daily Telegraph speculates that she is likely to pick a “white man” as her running mate to boost her chances in key battleground states where polling shows she is behind Donald Trump.

"The anointed" is the headline for the i newspaper.

Labour's immigration policy is the lead for the Daily Mail. It reports figures from the Refugee Council which estimate that changes to the way claims are processed could result in 70,000 illegal migrants being granted asylum.

The Conservatives believe the figure could be nearer to 90,000.

The front page of the Daily Express is a prediction from the leader of Reform UK - Nigel Farage - that more Conservative MPs will defect to his party within a year.

The paper reports that Mr Farage is open to the former Home Secretary, Suella Braverman, making the switch.

He believes several Tories who lost their red wall seats would still be MPs if they had moved over to Reform before the election.

The Times reports that we are becoming more accepting as a nation of fraud and theft.

The paper quotes the Department for Work and Pensions as saying that there is "a growing propensity for people to commit fraud".

This, it says, is making it harder to control the cost of claimants ripping off the benefits system.

The paper says DWP officials have also pointed to a recent study which suggests one in five Britons can now be classed as having “low integrity”, up from one in fourteen just over a decade ago.

There's a story that may be of concern to dog-owners in several newspapers, which report that our canine friends can smell if we're stressed and - if we are - it affects their mood.

Under the headline "Pedigree glum" - the Express explains that scientists from Bristol Veterinary School carried out tests which showed that dogs who were exposed to human stress odours behaved in a way that indicated pessimism and negative emotion.

The Guardian reports that athletes competing at the Paris Olympics - which begin on Friday - won't be offered junk food at the restaurant in the athletes village.

Instead Michelin-starred and plant-based dishes will be the order of the day.

Organisers were keen to raise standards to encourage the athletes to make healthier choices. One example the paper gives is a croissant topped with a poached egg, artichoke cream and sheep's cheese, sprinkled with truffle.

The paper reminisces that it's a long way from Beijing in 2008 when Usain Bolt claimed to have won two gold medals fuelled by a thousand chicken nuggets. Adieu nuggets, the headline says.
