Democrats plagued by ‘existential dread’ as Trump keeps race on razor’s edge

By Naomi Lim, Mabinty Quarshie and Cami Mondeaux | Washington Examiner Democratic euphoria over Vice President Kamala Harris has been replaced by panic as former President Donald Trump makes marginal gains in a close presidential race. Democrats find themselves in much better place than two months ago, when President Joe Biden trailed Trump across the battleground map. Harris has pulled within the margin of error from Pennsylvania to Wisconsin since taking over the ticket. Yet her perceived inability to connect with traditionally Democratic voters has cast a pall over the polls showing a toss-up race. Harris is underperforming Biden with black voters by 10 points, according to a recent survey from the New York Times and Siena College, while blue-colla...

Harris ‘flatlining’ in polls while Trump rises

By Tristan Justice | The Hill Republican strategist Karl Rove said Vice President Harris is “flatlining” in the polls while her Republican competitor, former President Trump, is rising. “What we’ve seen is Harris sort of flatlining and mostly declining, and Donald Trump modestly rising. And as a result, we’re seeing a 50-50 election; coin toss,” Rove, a Fox News contributor, said on the network Monday. Harris was riding high on momentum just weeks ago.

Trump served more McDonald’s french fries in 15 minutes than Harris probably ever has

By Tristan Justice | The Federalist Donald Trump served French fries at a Pennsylvania McDonald’s on Sunday after Kamala Harris allegedly lied about her job there as a cook. Former President Donald Trump put on the apron of the golden arches Sunday to serve French fries at a McDonald’s in Feasterville, Pennsylvania. “I’ve now worked for 15 minutes more than Kamala,” Trump said from the drive-thru window. The billionaire real estate mogul manned the fast food shift after the Washington Free Beacon reported in August the Democrat presidential nominee likely fabricated her experience as a McDonald’s fry cook.

Aurora Showdown: Anti-Establishment Fire Ignites Voter Frenzy

By MIG Reports Key Takeaways: Aurora, Colorado, experienced a surge in political enthusiasm from both Trump and Harris supporters, driving high levels of voter engagement. Pro-Trump supporters view him as a necessary disruptor of a corrupt system, while Harris supporters see their vote as a defense against authoritarianism. Both sides share a deep anti-establishment sentiment, reflecting widespread disillusionment with traditional political and media institutions.  Between Oct. 9-16, Aurora, Colorado, became a hotspot for intense political activity and discussion following Trump’s rally in the city. Residents are grappling with a whirlwind of emotions—anxiety, enthusiasm, and distrust—all of which are influencing their civic engagement and voting propensity. READ THE FU...

If Kamala Harris wins

By Roger Kimball | Americanmind.org Sometimes “What if?” questions are merely counterfactual academic exercises. Sometimes, however, they are existential conundrums. The question, “What if Kamala Harris wins the 2024 presidential election?” belongs firmly in the latter category. As I have noted elsewhere, I believe Donald Trump will not only win, but win resoundingly. All the same, the huge influx of illegal immigrants, strategically managed by Biden and Harris to be maximally advantageous, combined with the disastrous state of our voter rolls, might mean even if Trump wins, he doesn’t end up in the Oval Office. So: what if? Imagine you are a mini-Rip Van Winkle. You sink into a deep slumber on November 4 and do not awaken until, say, December 2026. You won’t have missed the original...

Davidson: Kamala Harris is priming Democrats for violent resistance if Trump wins

By John Daniel Davidson | Commentary, The Federalist By now it’s commonplace to note that Kamala Harris often seems out of her depth, like she’s unsure what to say about policy, or how to explain her past positions, or why she hasn’t already done the things she’s promised to do if she’s elected given that she’s the current vice president. But on one particular subject she’s been consistent and forceful throughout her campaign. She’s adamant that Donald Trump will destroy America if he’s reelected. And not “destroy” in the sense of enact bad policies, but that he’ll round people up with the military and put them in camps. She talks about this all the time now. At one point during her Wednesday evening interview with Bret Baier on Fox News, she became visibly upset after Baier playe...

Haitian migration roils town in key battleground state with signs of pro-Trump support on the rise

By Adam Shaw  | Fox News A small Pennsylvania town has been thrown into a national conversation about immigration into the U.S, after former President Trump pointed to it as a victim of mass Haitian migration --with some residents saying they believe the town is now backing the former president in November. "The small 4,000-person town of Charleroi, Pennsylvania, have you heard of it?" Trump said in September in Tucson, Arizona. "What a beautiful name, but it's not so beautiful now. It has experienced a 2,000% increase in the population of Haitian migrants under Kamala Harris." Charleroi, in Washington County, is a small town by the Monongahela River, that has seen a significant influx of immigrants -- particularly from Haiti -- in recent years. But the extent of that in...

Gallup poll finds majority of Americans feel worse off now than four years ago under Trump

By Wendell Husebø | Breitbart A majority of Americans (52 percent) feel worse off today than four years ago under former President Donald Trump, Gallup polling found Friday. Four years ago the nation was in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, which greatly impacted the economy and the lives of millions of Americans. Despite the crises, Americans believe they were better off. Costs increased by about 20 percent across the board after the Biden-Harris administration assumed office and instituted “Bidenomics.” Russia invaded Ukraine, Hamas and Iran attacked Israel, illegal migrants invaded the southern border, and the nation suffered the deadly Afghan withdrawal. Gallup reported its findings, predominantly shaped by soaring costs: READ THE FULL STORY AT BREITBAR...

Judge orders more Jack Smith Trump investigation docs to be made public ahead of election

By Julia Johnson , Jake Gibson | Fox News The judge in former President Donald Trump's federal election interference case ordered more documents to be revealed from special counsel Jack Smith's investigation into the former president just weeks before the 2024 election.  U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan ordered on Thursday night that additional documents be made public.  The documents pertain to the appendix of exhibits in the fight over whether Trump has a level of presidential immunity that negates the charges against him.  READ THE FULL STORY AT FOX NEWS

2024 presidential election live updates: Trump gives hilarious roast at Al Smith charity dinner

By Diana Glebova, Josh Christenson, Victor Nava, Steven Nelson and Kaydi Pelletier | New York Post Former President Donald Trump delivered hit after hit Thursday night at the annual Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation dinner in Manhattan, a historic Catholic fundraiser where, in an election year, the candidates traditionally take advantage of the opportunity to roast and mock each other. The “Met Gala for Catholics,” some have called it. Vice President Kamala Harris notably dodged the dinner, instead phoning it in with a pre-recorded video message we’ve confirmed she scrambled to pull together at the last minute. And it was only mildly funny, for a very specific set of millennial voters. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE NEW YORK POST
