Joe Manchin says he won’t endorse Harris over support for eliminating filibuster

By Julia Johnson , Kelly Phares , Michael Dane , Daniel Scully  | Fox News Democrat-defector Sen. Joe Manchin, I-W.Va., said he won't endorse Vice President Harris in the presidential election after she revealed her support for doing away with the filibuster to pass abortion laws.  Harris, a former senator herself, told Wisconsin Public Radio (WPR) on Tuesday, "I think we should eliminate the filibuster for Roe."  Manchin told Fox News, "I'm not endorsing her," stressing the importance of the legislative threshold.  "I've been very, very, very clear on how strongly I believe that when you go down that slippery path, you don't just do it for one issue," he explained.  READ THE FULL STORY AT FOX NEWS

Majority of suburban women in swing states say Harris lacks ‘viable solutions’ for economy: Poll

By Cami Mondeaux | Washington Examiner A majority of suburban women are expressing concerns about Vice President Kamala Harris’s ability to handle the economy, which is becoming one of the top voter concerns of the 2024 election.  About 72% of suburban women say the economy is a top priority for them heading into the election, according to a survey conducted by the Place America First super PAC that was first obtained by the Washington Examiner. Of those, 70% say Harris lacks “viable solutions” for the economy compared to former President Donald Trump.  The survey also shows Trump gaining ground with other key voting demographics, including English-speaking Hispanics and veterans. About 65% of the Hispanic voters surveyed said they were more inclined to vote for Trump, w...

U.S. will send troops to the Middle East, warns Americans to leave Lebanon on brink of all-out war

By Wills Robinson  | The Daily Mail The U.S. is sending troops to the Middle East in response to the surge in violence between Israel and Hezbollah and as the region teeters on the edge of an all-out war. The Pentagon announced on Monday that 'additional' service members would be deployed to join the 40,000 already stationed in the region along with a dozen warships and fighter jet squadrons. Israel forces have ramped up their airstrikes deep inside Lebanon and the State Department has warned all Americans to leave as the risk of conflict spirals to levels not seen in years.

Trump has a plan for economic prosperity, Harris does not

By  Andy Puzder | Fox News As the November election approaches, the economy remains the most important issue for voters. On the question of which candidate voters believe would make the best economic policy decisions, President Trump holds a 10 percentage point advantage over Vice President Kamala Harris, according to the latest Pew Research survey. No one should be surprised.  Trump offers straightforward pro-growth economic policies consistent with the plan he successfully implemented during his first term in office, as most voters fondly recall.  He would keep tax rates low, encouraging investment and consumer spending, reduce growth-hobbling business regulation, and expand America’s domestic energy production, reducing the cost of literally everything. ...

Duke: The rise of BlueAnon

By Alexander Hall  | The Spectator Someone call the disinformation police! Left-wing conspiracy theories and attempts to manipulate the media are spiraling out of control ahead of the 2024 election. From tall tales about former president Donald Trump staging his own assassination attempt to the lower-stakes speculation that Republican vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance is wearing guyliner, “BlueAnon” has reemerged in a big way. BlueAnon is a blanket term coined by some conservatives to describe liberal and left-wing conspiracy theories. It intentionally rhymes with QAnon, the arguably better-known right-wing conspiracy, and mostly arose in response to what many regard as the Russian collusion hoax, the idea that Trump colluded with the Russian government to win the 2016...

Biden-Harris’ big-spending infrastructure bill produced little progress on key projects

BySarah Bedford | Washington Examiner Democrats have touted the infrastructure bill Congress passed in 2021 as a signature accomplishment of the Biden-Harris administration, but some of its ambitious projects have fallen far short of expectations nearly three years after President Joe Biden signed it into law. A massive program to expand rural broadband access has failed so far to connect any homes to the internet. A push to electrify school bus fleets has proved costly and inefficient. And a multibillion-dollar effort to build thousands of electric vehicle charging stations across the country has so far yielded just a handful of stations. The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act contained $1.2 trillion in spending on what the White House called “a ...

Fact Check: Kamala claims she was non-partisan prosecutor after targeting conservatives

By Tracy Ross | Breitbart CLAIM: “In my career as a prosecutor I never looked at a a victim or witness and asked them, ‘Are you a Republican or a Democrat?’.” VERDICT: MOSTLY FALSE. Harris targeted conservatives, including a pro-life filmmaker and non-profit groups. Vice President Kamala Harris repeated a line Thursday in a town hall with Oprah Winfrey in which she claimed that she had never discriminated against victims or witnesses on the basis of their political views.

Democrats privately worry the Teamsters non-endorsement is a warning sign

By Holly Otterbein and Elena Schneider | Politico Eight years after Donald Trump shattered the Blue Wall, some Democrats worry he could do it again. Most polls show Kamala Harris tied or leading Trump in the critical battleground states of Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin after a commanding performance at the debate. Party leaders are projecting confidence publicly. But on the ground, jittery elected officials, strategists and allies are quietly pointing to warning signs for the vice president. The Teamsters withholding an endorsement from Harris this week — after internal polling showed most respondents backing Trump — is sparking fresh concerns that the GOP nominee could have higher-than-expected support among union members, especially men. Labor leaders in other sectors att...

House votes to increase Secret Service protections for Presidential contenders Trump, Harris

By Tracy Ross | Washington Examiner The House voted unanimously to increase Secret Service protections for presidential candidates, giving them the same level of security as sitting presidents while traveling on the campaign trail.  Lawmakers passed a resolution in a 405-0 vote on Friday that would enhance protections for former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris with rare, widespread bipartisan support. The legislation comes in response to the two assassination attempts against Trump during this cycle, which prompted condemnations from both sides of the aisle to crack down on political violence.  “This is not a partisan issue,” House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) said this week. “We have a nominee for president that’s probably the most threatened...
