With just days to go before the election, Democratic vice presidential candidate and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz is doubling down on pro-abortion rhetoric and signaling support for late-term abortions. In a Wednesday appearance on CBS News, Walz was asked if he and Vice President Kamala Harris would support “any limits on abortion, including limiting third-trimester abortions.” The Democratic governor replied, “Look, the vice president’s been very clear, making sure that we restore the right of Roe v. Wade, making sure that women and their health care providers — because these services are health care — making sure those decisions are...

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken confirmed on Thursday that 8,000 North Korean soldiers in Russia are expected to begin combat operations against Ukrainian troops in Kursk "in the coming days." The secretary said that of the 10,000 North Korean soldiers believed to have been sent to Russia for training, 80% of that force is now in the Kursk region, where Ukraine first launched an incursion in August. Ukraine has since captured and held onto roughly 460 square miles according to reports earlier this month, not only prompting civilian evacuations from the region but also forcing Russia to fight its...

More broadly, one network executive told features writer Charlotte Klein, "It's going to change everything" if Trump wins. The exec said it could signify the complete failure of the news industry. "If half the country has decided that Trump is qualified to be president, that means they're not reading any of this media, and we’ve lost this audience completely. A Trump victory means mainstream media is dead in its current form," they said.

Former President Bill Clinton made a remark that may well have handed the election to Donald Trump after he admiited the economy was better while he was in the White House. Clinton’s pro-Trump slip elicited groans from the crowd in Muskegon Heights.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Donald Trump is traveling to New Mexico and Virginia in the campaign’s final days, taking a risky detour from the seven battleground states to spend time in places where Republican presidential candidates have not won in decades. The former president campaigned in Albuquerque, New Mexico, on Thursday and was scheduled to visit Salem, Virginia, on Saturday. The Trump team is projecting optimism based in part on early voting numbers and thinks he can be competitive against Democrat Kamala Harris in both states — New Mexico in particular, if he sweeps swing states Nevada and Arizona. That...

It was the journalism fail heard around the world. CBS News’ long-running show “60 Minutes” interviewed Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris in early October—but presented two different versions of her answering a question about Israel. Clearly, one of those answers had to be deceptively edited. Now Donald Trump is taking action—and suing the network for a staggering $10 billion dollars in damages, “stating the network practiced ‘deceptive conduct’ for the purpose of election interference in its interview with Vice President Kamala Harris." The lawsuit, filed Thursday, states that the network engaged in election and voter interference:

While the list of Hollywood supporters for Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris is long, a number of celebrities have thrown their hat in the ring for Donald Trump — and it’s not the first time for some.

Jake Paul is the latest social media influencer to endorse Donald Trump in his run for the White House. The YouTuber-turned-boxer seemingly took to social media to show his support for Trump ahead of the elections and as he prepares for his fight with Mike Tyson on Netflix. “Uh, nervous, scared to make this video because of what it means in terms of my career, my life, people coming after me, more accusations, more turmoil, more division potentially,” Paul said in the video he shared on X, the microblogging platform formerly known as Twitter. Paul said his video was directed...

U.S. offshore wind developers put on a brave face at a conference this week, touting their ability to work with leaders from both political parties, although privately attendees fretted that things could get rough for them if Republican Donald Trump wins the Nov. 5 presidential election. The Republican nominee and former president has vowed to scrap offshore wind projects through an executive order on his first day in office if he retakes the White House, claiming windmills ruin the environment and kill birds and whales. Trump is in a tight race against Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris, who has championed...

Two days after President Biden called former President Donald Trump’s supporters “garbage,” a top campaign surrogate for Vice President Kamala Harris implied women around the Republican presidential nominee were weak and dumb — though he later walked back his statement after it sparked widespread fury.

Former Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY), one of the most prominent pro-Israel politicians in America, accepted the endorsement of several Arab American leaders for former President Donald Trump in New York City on Thursday. * * * But the Trump campaign appears to be pulling off one of the most remarkable political feats in recent memory: uniting pro-Israel conservatives with Arab and Muslim voters around a shared belief that only Trump can bring peace to the Middle East. They may believe that for different reasons. Jews and evangelical Christians, citing Trump’s outstanding record on Israel in his first term, believe that...

Kim Kardashian wished a happy birthday to her friend Ivanka Trump just days before the 2024 US presidential election. The Skims founder, 44, took to Instagram on Wednesday (October 30) to post a tribute to the eldest daughter of former president Donald Trump. “No one sweeter than you @ivankatrump,” Kardashian wrote over a selfie of the pair. “Happy Birthday,” she added, along with three white heart emojis.

Former Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY), one of the most prominent pro-Israel politicians in America, accepted the endorsement of several Arab American leaders for former President Donald Trump in New York City on Thursday. Zeldin, who is Jewish, accepted the endorsement on behalf of Trump himself, who is campaigning in the swing states ahead of Tuesday’s election. The scene was almost surreal: Zeldin, one of the most prominent Zionists on Capitol Hill, standing shoulder to shoulder with Arab and Muslim leaders who may have rather different views on Israel. But the Trump campaign appears to be pulling off one of the...

When does a government bureaucracy move quickly? When it's threatened by a whistleblower, among other things. IRS-CI Supervisory Special Agent Gary Shapley, one of the two whistleblowers in the Hunter Biden tax evasion case, had already experienced the speed with which his agency could move in retaliation, but was reminded of it once again when he received a "be demoted or resign" letter less than an hour after his latest interview with journalist Catherine Herridge dropped. Tristan Leavitt of Empowr Oversight, which represents Shapley and Ziegler, shared the letter, which was dated October 15 (emphasis added): Less than an hour...

As Election Day approaches, the prediction market Polymarket has drawn attention with its $2.7 billion betting pool on the 2024 presidential race between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris. Currently, Polymarket’s odds show Trump with a 66% chance of victory. However, a recent analysis from blockchain experts suggests nearly one-third of this activity may be due to wash trading, casting doubt on the platform’s reliability as a predictive tool. Possible evidence of artificial trading on Polymarket Blockchain research firms Chaos Labs and Inca Digital, known for digital market security and data analysis, recently reported findings that question Polymarket’s reported $2.7 billion...

An election forecaster who previously predicted a landslide victory for Vice President Kamala Harris has switched his prediction to former President Donald Trump. Thomas Miller, a data scientist who accurately predicted the 2020 presidential election result, previously backed Harris to win in 2024, telling Newsweek in September that the Democrat was on track to win more than 400 votes in the Electoral College, according to his model. The model, which relies on betting odds as opposed to polling data aggregates, is now saying that Trump is the favorite, with its most recent prediction estimating the Republican could win 345 votes...

More than half of American voters have voted early or plan to vote before Election Day, a new Gallup poll revealed Thursday. Out of 933 registered voters surveyed between October 14 and October 27, 20 percent said they had already voted, and another 34 percent said they are planning to do so before November 5, bringing the total to 54 percent. While the pollster found that the number of early voters is lower than what it was in 2020 — 64 percent — the rate is still higher compared to pre-coronavirus election years, before the popularity of voting by mail...

Here's a summary of their findings so far: The York County Board of Elections reported that out of 3,000 flagged voter registration applications, 47% were verified and approved.

There is “a lot of momentum” for New Mexico to flip red, Nella Domenici, the state’s Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate, said during an interview on Breitbart News Daily, noting that former President Donald Trump’s momentum is helping in her race against incumbent Sen. Martin Heinrich (D-NM) as well. Domenici noted that her state was “solidly red for a long time” when her father was senator from 1973 to 2009. But since then, it has “kind of become a little California, and it’s been taken over by radical progressives.” “But we’re a very, very poor state, so California policies...
