If Vice President Kamala Harris loses “any aspect of the blue wall, Trump’s president,” War Room host Steve Bannon said during an interview on Breitbart News Saturday just days ahead of the election. Bannon is former chief strategist to Donald Trump. Recently released from federal prison after serving four months at the hands of the Biden administration, he walked through the current state of affairs in the election, explaining that he believes Republicans are better poised than Democrat moving into game day — Election Day — which is Republicans’ strength.

Cracks in the Democrats’ blue wall are only part of the story as last-minute campaign reallocation of advertising dollars spell out a shift to defense. “I’ve never seen such panic.” Well before early voting began or nominees were even official for the major parties, it remained clear that seven battleground states were pivotal to securing the White House. Now, with a week remaining in the race, reports show Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign is pulling money from “TWO key swing states,” to shore up a third as well as a less-considered commonwealth. Daily Signal columnist Tony Kinnett reacted to the...

The “blue wall” states of Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania have paved the path to the White House for the last two Democratic presidents. But with just 14 days until the Nov. 5 election, there are concerns within Kamala Harris’ campaign about whether the vice president can claim all three states. Recent discussions have centered on the possibility of an anomaly happening this year with just part of the blue wall breaking its way. The conversations have focused on whether Michigan or Wisconsin “fall” to former President Donald Trump while the two other states go blue, according to three sources with...

Control of the Senate appears likely to flip from the Democratic Party to the Republican Party this fall, as one of the nation’s most endangered Democrats, Senator Jon Tester of Montana, trails his Republican challenger in his bid for re-election, according to a new poll from The New York Times and Siena College. Mr. Tester, who first won election to the Senate in 2006, is winning over moderate and independent voters and running far ahead of the Democrat at the top of the ticket, Vice President Kamala Harris. But as of now, that does not appear to be enough to...

Taxpayers in Pennsylvania were billed more than $2.5 million via Medicaid to pay for “irreversible sex change interventions” on children between 2019 and 2023, according to the organization Do No Harm.The Philly Leader reported that Children’s Hospital of Pennsylvania (CHOP) and UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh were both named to Do No Harm’s “Dirty Dozen” list, consisting of the “12 worst offending children’s hospitals promoting sex change treatments for minors.”The Stop the Harm database, which is a project of Do No Harm, reported that hospitals in the Keystone State saw 822 minors who were “sex change patients” including 316 surgery...

A new Quinnipiac University poll showed Vice President Kamala Harris is leaking support in Michigan and Wisconsin to former President Donald Trump. Trump is leading 51% to 47% in Michigan and 49% to 47% in Wisconsin, a staggering change in the same poll from mid-September, which showed Harris leading 50% to 45% in Michigan and 48% to 47% in Wisconsin. The poll also surveyed Pennsylvania and found Harris with a 49% to 47% lead, a three-point improvement for Trump from mid-September in the same poll.

Political journalist Mark Halperin on the independent streaming platform 2Way said the Harris campaign is worried about losing 6 of 7 battleground states while the Trump campaign feels good about them. In July, Halperin predicted President Biden would drop out of the race. MARK HALPERIN: We're talking about Harris a lot on this program for a couple reasons. We know what Trump is. We don't need to spend every episode talking about January 6. We'll talk about it if people want to bring it up. What's happening now with Kamala Harris is this is an experiment. Can you win a...

Kamala Harris has a real shot at becoming president, but if she does, it will be because her voters hate Trump. It is impossible to believe that anybody thinks she is presidential material. She is stupid and proves it every time she opens her mouth.This shouldn't be a controversial thing to say. I know Democrats who will openly admit that they think Harris is awful--and her pre-candidacy poll numbers and disastrous 2019 presidential campaign prove that almost everybody knows that she is stupid and incompetent. That's why she was hidden from the media for so long and has gone through...

The state has unearthed hundreds more people than previously known who were improperly registered to vote under Oregon’s motor voter law. The latest tally includes 302 people identified on Monday, according to an “after-action” report ordered by Gov. Tina Kotek. The latest numbers add to the 1,259 people who officials with the state’s Driver and Motor Vehicle Services office and Secretary of State had earlier revealed were registered in error. [snip] Griffin-Valade said she was confident the recently identified errors would not alter the election. Tobias Read, the Democrat who is running to be the next secretary of state, said...

Former President Donald Trump has extended his lead in the Daily Mail's election model, which now gives him his highest probability yet of victory over Kamala Harris in November's election. A favorable poll in the critical swing state of Michigan, putting him one-point up over his Democratic opponent, helped nudge him to an almost 18-point lead, two points more than last week. But plenty can change in the final weeks of campaigning. And with Trump on a 58.8 percent of winning to Harris' 41.1 the result remains very much in tossup territory. However, the latest polling data now suggest that...

Democratic strategist James Carville said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “The Beat” that he was “scared to death” about the election and that the Harris-Walz campaign needed to be “much more aggressive.” Carville said, “The only thing I feel is the election is coming November 5, and I’m scared to death.” Host Ari Melber asked, “You’re not in a reflective mood?”

Democratic strategist James Carville said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that the Harris-Walz campaign should stop discussing the 2020 presidential election and the January 6 Capitol riot. Host Joe Scarborough said, “Tell me what you have leaned through all your years in politics starting with Bill Clinton, what’s still applies today in 2024, when you break politics down to its bare essence?” Carville said, “Be aggressive. Don’t take anything for granted. I think that’s a good lesson for Vice President Harris’ campaign. You come out and have a good debate don’t go back in.” He continued, “They need to sell...

VIDEOYup! Donald Trump ruined James Carville as revealed in these clips showing that the Ragin' Cajun has most definitely gone off the deep end. At this point, Carville's depravity has gone way beyond the political and into the clinical. And perhaps he is beyond the reach of mere psychiatric help. Perhaps it is time to call upon the exorcists to drive out the demons in Carville's soul that have driven him Just Plain... NUTS!

Longtime Democratic strategist James Carville on Monday said the 2024 election “just doesn’t feel like a race” that Democratic nominee, Vice President Kamala Harris, “is gonna lose” to GOP rival Donald Trump. “It’s close in the polls, but I’m not convinced that it’s gonna be close on election day,” Carville told CNN’s Anderson Cooper. Continued at source...

Democratic strategist James Carville during a Thursday podcast advised Vice President Kamala Harris to use pre-planned queries during her public speaking engagements. Harris has mostly stuck to prepared remarks since launching her campaign on July 21, giving just one sit-down interview and participating in a single presidential debate. Carville, on “Conversations with Bill Kristol,” suggested Harris field a mix of “planted” and unrehearsed questions to appear more impressive, without making it obvious she has prepared for some of the queries. “She could do a China speech, alright, and talk about how it’s an adversary but not an enemy, you know,...

Veteran Democratic strategist James Carville tells “Dan Abrams Live” that former President Donald Trump needs to get his game face on because he’s “hearing good things out of Pittsburgh” about Vice President Kamala Harris‘ debate preparation. “I think she is very well prepared. I think she’s coming with a game. And I don’t, I don’t know what’s going on in Trump world, but he better tighten his chin strap, because she’s coming after him,” Carville said. He called Trump a “totally known entity” and emphasized the focus of the debate will be the nation’s first look at Harris on the...

One of the most important variables that sticks out in polls is one that few people seem to have noticed: for the first time ever in Gallup polls, Republicans have a Party ID edge over Democrats right before a presidential election. "More Americans Identify as Republican Than Democrat. Here’s What That Means for the Election." https://t.co/lzNNZV0k7q— Josh Kraushaar (@JoshKraushaar) October 9, 2024NBC polls are showing the same thing, and the effect is not small. It makes a huge difference that the partisan tilt of the electorate has shifted. Beneath the headline results in many polls, something unusual has turned up...

Before California was the solidly Democratic state we know it to be today, the state’s Republican Party was a force to be reckoned with. Prop 187 helped changed all that..Prop 187 was a ballot measure that aimed to prevent undocumented immigrants from having access to public services, such as public schools, healthcare, and more...Prop 187 stoked a major culture war in California.... On November 8, 1994, Prop 187 passed overwhelmingly: 59% to 41%. Governor Pete Wilson was also reelected, signifying an important victory for the Republican Party. These were short-term victories. Soon after Prop 187’s passage, a federal judge issued...

A sprawling investigation into the online fundraising platform ActBlue has expanded into 19 states, as attorneys general across the country press the company on its security practices and whether Democrats might be using the platform to cheat on election donations. An investigation that began with a few states and a House committee has now spread across nearly half the country as chief state investigators are endeavoring to determine whether Democrats have used the ActBlue to launder foreign money or craft donations in people’s names without their permission, a practice known as "straw donations." In a letter sent last week to...

We've spoken before about how Vice President Kamala Harris doesn't seem to have the same labor union support that President Joe Biden enjoyed. We've seen this play out in a variety of ways, with unions like the Teamsters and the International Association of Firefighters choosing not to endorse Harris when they usually endorse Democratic candidates. The data on the Teamsters polling showed that every state went for Trump over Harris, including every swing state and even blue states. This is a big problem for Harris, particularly in the Rust Belt states that she desperately needs. Now, there are more reports...
