Republican activists in swing states say they have seen little sign of the teams tasked with knocking on doors and turning out infrequent voters on behalf of Donald Trump, raising concerns about the party’s presidential nominee relying on outside groups for an important part of his campaign operations. Trump and the Republican National Committee he controls opted to share get-out-the-vote duties in key parts of the most competitive states this year with groups such as America PAC, the organization supported by billionaire Elon Musk. It is difficult to demonstrate that something is not happening. But with fewer than 50 days...

Watching Trump's last rally, he stated that Evangelicals and gun owners do NOT vote at high levels. I found that very hard to believe. I would have thought those two groups would vote at the highest levels! So I did a little research and found the following-- Evangelicals...make up 28% of all voters--a really huge number--more than African Americans, Hispanic and union voters combined--that is amazing. However, many Evangelicals do not vote....roughly 30% are not even registered, and of those that are registered, 40% do not vote. WOW! Gun owners...10 million hunters and gun owners are NOT registered to vote!Pennsylvania...

Former President Trump on Saturday revealed that he is selling $100 “Trump Coins” with his face on them, calling the items a “true symbol of American greatness.” The coins are now the latest product to be sold by Trump as he seeks a second term in the White House, following the launch of Trump Sneakers and “God Bless the USA” Bibles earlier this year. “Trump Coins are designed by me and minted right here in the U.S.A. This beautiful, limited-edition coin commemorates our movement, our fight for freedom, prosperity and putting America first, we always put America first,” Trump said...

A double-digit increase in popularity, rising Democratic enthusiasm and an early edge for representing “change” have vaulted Vice President Kamala Harris forward and reshuffled the 2024 presidential contest, according to a new national NBC News poll. With just over six weeks until Election Day, the poll finds Harris with a 5-point lead over former President Donald Trump among registered voters, 49% to 44%. While that result is within the margin of error, it’s a clear shift from July’s poll, when Trump was ahead by 2 points before President Joe Biden’s exit. But the transformation in the presidential contest goes well...

Second gentleman Douglas Emhoff ripped former President Trump on Friday for his remarks at an event raising awareness for combating antisemitism in which the GOP nominee suggested Jewish people would partly shoulder the blame if he loses in November. “Last night, Donald Trump once again fanned the flames of antisemitism by trafficking in tropes blaming and scapegoating Jews,” Emhoff, who is Jewish, posted on the social platform X. “He even did it at an event purporting to fight antisemitism, no less.” “This is dangerous and must be condemned,” he continued. “We will not be intimidated and will continue to live...

New data from the Howard University Initiative on Public Opinion offers insight into Black voters' support heading into the 2024 presidential election. The Howard University poll shows an overwhelming majority of Black voters in the seven swing states support Vice President Kamala Harris over former President Trump. A whopping 82% of respondents told pollsters that they supported Harris compared to just 12% that backed Trump. Approximately 5% of respondents indicated they are undecided and the final 1% said they intend to vote for a candidate other than Harris or Trump. The data shows a significant difference between age groups. Approximately...

(RNS) — In recent days, a few journalists have noticed that conservative religion in America is on the back foot. In a New York Times article published Friday (Sept. 13), reporters Elizabeth Dias and Ruth Graham found evangelical Christian activists notably discouraged. Despite significant judicial and legislative victories on abortion and religious liberty, they see no sign of the country abandoning its increasingly secular ways. Meanwhile, Times columnist Ross Douthat weighed in on the spreading incrementalism taking place in conservative Catholic circles in the face of overwhelming popular support for abortion rights. The “pro-life realists” are saying it’s time the...

Vice President Kamala Harris edges former President Trump in a head-to-head matchup, as more voters see Harris as the candidate who will help the middle class, and Hispanics and independents swing in her direction. The new Fox News national survey finds a 3 percentage-point shift among registered voters in the 2024 presidential contest since mid-August. Trump had a 1-point advantage last month, while Harris is ahead by 2 points today: 50%-48%. For reference, in July, Trump was ahead by 1 point over President Biden. Each of those differences falls within the margin of error. This marks the first time Harris...

A new Fox News poll shows Vice President Kamala Harris leading former President Donald Trump by just two points and within the margin of error. Surveying 1,102 registered voters between September 13-16 with a margin of error +/- 3 percent, the poll showed that Kamala Harris improved her standing by three points since August, during which the two had the first presidential debate and there was a second assassination attempt on Trump’s life. “Trump had a 1-point advantage last month, while Harris is ahead by 2 points today: 50 percent to 48 percent,” Fox News noted. “For reference, in July,...

There’s bad blood between them. Former President Donald Trump lashed out at pop star Taylor Swift Sunday, declaring his disdain — days after she endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris. “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!” Trump, 78, wrote on Truth Social in all caps, without elaborating further. Swift, 34, posted her endorsement of Harris just after the high-stakes ABC News debate between Trump and Harris last Tuesday. She previously backed President Biden in the 2020 election. “I’m voting for @kamalaharris because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them,” the billionaire singer wrote on Instagram...

Another high-ranking official in the George W. Bush administration endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris on Thursday, calling former President Donald Trump “perhaps the most serious threat to the rule of law in a generation.” Former Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez revealed his support for Harris in an op-ed for Politico, saying he couldn’t “sit quietly” as Trump “eyes a return to the White House.” “The American presidency is the most powerful position in the world. Of course, our constitution and laws, as well as institutions such as Congress and our courts, act as guardrails to that power,” wrote the 69-year-old former...

If you do a Google search for 'dogs cats springfield', you'll find page after page of the MSM calling the story false. The closest to something sympathetic to Trump is "Haitian migrants eating pets? Here’s the even more serious story about immigrants in Springfield, Ohio" (link) and that doesn't take the dogs/cats story seriously. You can downplay that all you want, but such search results are what millions of potential voters see. Even if someone manages to find rock solid evidence supporting Trump's claim, it will probably just be a few incidents and it will be downplayed. (The video of...

Veteran GOP strategists overwhelmingly said Wednesday that Vice President Kamala Harris won her debate with former President Donald Trump — *** One prominent Republican operative supportive of Trump, 78, told The Post they believed Tuesday’s ABC News debate in Philadelphia likely shifted popular support one percentage point in the Democrat’s favor — at least for now. *** “If you are an undecided voter who wanted to, finally, hear Kamala Harris’ policy agenda last night, all you got were scripted lines of attack against Trump because Harris is the incumbent and has no plan to change course,” a former Trump White...

Megyn Kelly comments on the moderators' performance at Tuesday night's presidential debate: (video at link) MEGYN KELLY: I'm disgusted. I'm ashamed of those moderators at ABC News. They did exactly what their bosses wanted them to do. The person who runs ABC News is a close personal friend of Kamala Harris and is responsible for Kamala Harris and her husband meeting. They did Dana Walden's bidding tonight. It was three against one on that debate stage this evening. Hi, everyone. I'm Megyn Kelly. A special program tonight for you, reacting to the debate. It was three against one. It's very...

1. This debate wasn’t close. The majority of the focus coming into Tuesday was about how Harris would handle her first-ever presidential debate with someone who had been on this stage many times. Could she answer questions about her position shifts; parry attacks from Trump, someone who tries to be the alpha on these stages; could she answer the attack that she’s light on policy; and could she appear “presidential”? Vice President and Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris and former President and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump speak during a presidential debate. Politics NPR fact checked the Harris-Trump presidential debate....

With Kamala Harris and Donald Trump set to face off in their only scheduled debate Tuesday night on ABC News, a new study highlights a significant bias in the news outlet's coverage leading up to the event. The Media Research Center’s analysis reveals ABC’s World News Tonight has aired overwhelmingly favorable coverage of Harris, while casting Trump in a predominantly negative light. Media Research Center analyzed 100 campaign stories on World News Tonight, showing 100% positive coverage for Harris and 93% negative coverage for Trump. *** ABC's David Muir, who will moderate Tuesday's debate, has overseen this one-sided coverage, raising...

Hi Freepers, Anyone have "inside contacts" in the Trump organization? I believe that, if Kamala wins, the Biden/Harris admin will immediately on NOVEMBER 6 begin passing Executive Orders to limit and confiscate firearms possession and purchases. Trump NEEDS to talk about this NOW. Many gun owners are not registered to Vote. This might get them out and VOTING!!
