Recent Saturday Night Live skits mocking Kamala Harris have sparked social media uproar - as many viewers believe these sketches are bad news for the candidate. The iconic late-night show has been airing sketches featuring the Democratic presidential nominee since 2019, when she was president Joe Biden's running mate. Famously played by Maya Rudolph, Harris' character has now been hurdled into the spotlight as the November election approaches - and SNL fans have had a lot to say about her portrayal.

Donald Trump is a serious threat to the lives of Black men. Vice President Harris will deliver for Black men and their families. Vice President Harris is laying out an agenda to give Black men the tools to build wealth and achieve financial freedom, lower costs for themselves and their families, and protect their rights—addressing the issues that Black men across the country have told her are their top concerns.

The dam has burst. Over the past few days several polls have come out showing what can only be described as a collapse of Harris’s numbers. Now, let me be honest here, I do not personally believe Harris’s support has suddenly collapsed.. I believe that certain polling outfits are starting to finally be honest as we close in on election day. In 2020 and 2016 the polls got it HORRIBLY wrong, while 2016 was bad, 2020 was just abysmal, countless “well respected” polling outfits were off by at times multiple their margins of errors, and they were nearly all off...

Former Vice President Mike Pence is launching a $3 million ad blitz in swing states to slam economic proposals from Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris — including her multitrillion-dollar tax hike. Advancing American Freedom, a nonprofit conservative advocacy group founded by Pence, will run the digital ads in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Montana. His group also will distribute a “messaging memo” to Republican candidates competing in those states suggesting lines of political attack. The ad campaign will highlight the economic successes of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act signed into law by former President Donald Trump — and Harris’ plans...

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...

Hollywood-controlled media are rolling out the red carpet for Kamala Harris this week, welcoming the Democrat presidential candidate to a range of friendly media appearances as part of a planned offensive to enhance her likeability in the final stretch of the election cycle. Kamala Harris is set to appear on ABC’s The View, where hosts including Joy Behar and Whoopi Goldberg have regularly sung her praises; CBS’ late-night show with Stephen Colbert, another ally; and Howard Stern, who recently called Trump supporters “stupid.” The aforementioned shows are all known for their soft-ball questions when it comes to Democrat politicians, seldom...

If you're running a political campaign, the one person you never want to be compared to is Hillary Clinton. The twice-failed presidential candidate went down in history after losing to Donald Trump in 2016, and plenty of speculation has revolved around whether her defeat was preventable. Most infamously, she never set foot in Wisconsin because she was confident the so-called "blue wall" states would hold. Ultimately, they didn't, and Trump walked away with Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and the entire election. Now, Democrats are beginning to panic, and the comparisons to Clinton are getting scarier by the minute. Democratic operatives, including...

Trump has made concerted attempts to win over Hispanic and black voters, traditionally Democratic constituencies, though his 2020 results with those groups only slightly improved upon his 2016 tallies. Vice President Kamala Harris is struggling to maintain support among the key voting blocs of the Democratic coalition as polling data suggests that former President Donald Trump’s efforts to win over minority voters are succeeding to some degree. Throughout his political career, Trump has made concerted attempts to flip Hispanic and black voters, traditionally Democratic constituencies, though his 2020 results with those groups only slightly improved upon his 2016 tallies. Now,...

Netflix cancelations have reportedly spiked after the streaming platform’s CEO Reed Hastings announced he’d donate millions to Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign.

FAIL: Harris-Walz Event for Latinos in Pennsylvania Gets a Whopping 50 Attendees by Warner Todd Huston | Sep 27, 2024 | Politics Will this presidential election be the most important in American history? Yes No Enter your email address... Submit Vote What a hilarious failure Kamala Harris and her running mate Tim Walz had in Pennsylvania, folks. The Harris-Walz campaign had a well-publicized event for Latino voters in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania last week in an area that is at least 1/3 Latino, and the turnout wasn’t just laughable… it was disastrous. Fifty Latinos showed up. FIFTY!

The “Seinfeld” campaign Watching the Harris campaign, if you can even call it a campaign is becoming more and more comical by the day. In fact, if I had to describe the Harris campaign, I would probably have to call it the political equivalent of an episode of “Seinfeld”, because its is literally a campaign about nothing. I have said it many times, and I still believe, there is absolutely no path to 270 for any Democrat, this cycle, and the smart democrats have known this since January. They were able to eek out a win in 2020, through a...

Unlike Russiagate, Irangate is real and has roots in the White House. In the last two months, Iran set up fake news sites to defame Trump and promote Kamala, hacked the Trump campaign and tried to pass stolen documents to the Harris-Walz campaign and its media allies, and finally plotted to assassinate former President Trump and his officials. These rather definite statements of Iran’s intentions in the presidential election have been dismissed with generic Russiagate buzzwords that describe the Islamic terrorist state as being out to “destabilize and sow chaos”. When Iran hacked the Trump campaign, we were told that...

Thousands of dockworkers at key ports along the East and Gulf coasts are preparing to strike early next week, potentially shutting down major trade hubs that handle roughly half of the container goods moving in and out of the U.S. Talks between the dockworkers’ union and a shipping industry group representing terminal operators and ocean carriers have been at a standstill for months, with both sides releasing conflicting statements this week about their readiness to negotiate. According to CBS News, the United States Maritime Alliance (USMX) filed an unfair labor practice complaint with the National Labor Relations Board, seeking “immediate...

With all the mad hype you would think that the Joy candidate during a period of high inflation and general economic misery would be performing well among a large group of Americans. Instead, the latest Quinnipiac poll shows that Kamala is not only losing white voters 46/50 but also Hispanics 44/52. Notably, these numbers show Trump performing better among Hispanics than he is among whites. Kamala is winning blacks 83/10 which would be better news if Obama hadn’t won this group 93% to 6%. To paraphrase a certain presidential candidate, I knew Obama, Kamala is not Obama. Even worse, Kamala...

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...

Cardinal Timothy Dolan slammed Kamala Harris' surprise move to skip the annual Al Smith dinner, while sending a warning about the last candidate who sat it out. The dinner benefitting Catholic Charities traditionally has been used to promote collegiality and good humor, with presidential candidates from both parties appearing on the same night and trading barbs. Donald Trump has attended the dinner in both 2016 and 2020, while Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden - albeit online - also attended when running for president. Dolan, the Archbishop of New York City, said he was 'disappointed' in Harris' decision to instead campaign...

Vice President Kamala Harris is short about 360,000 Democrat mail-in-ballot requests in Pennsylvania compared to where President Joe Biden was during this time in 2020, according to Secretary of State data. Harris’s shortfall of Biden’s 2020 mail-in-ballot requests pace is a positive sign for former President Donald Trump’s overall election chances. The mail-in-ballot requests indicate which party is more energized and more likely to vote in the Keystone State. Biden only won Pennsylvania by about 80,000 votes with about a one million mail-in-ballot request advantage over Republicans. “Kamala is not even close to keeping pace with Biden mail-in requests,” Republican...

Campaign officials are weighing a potential visit by Vice President Kamala Harris to the US-Mexico border while in Arizona on Friday as the campaign tries to close the gap with former President Donald Trump on the issue of immigration, according to two sources familiar with the discussions. Immigration has featured prominently in the 2024 presidential election. Democrats, grappling with years of border crises, have tried to flip the script on Republicans after the GOP blocked a bipartisan border measure earlier this year. Some Harris campaign officials remain concerned about the gap in polling, which shows Trump holding a lead on...

Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris's campaign says that she has agreed to do another presidential campaign debate, this time on CNN. "The American people deserve another opportunity to see Vice President Kamala Harris and Donald Trump debate before they cast their ballots," Harris's campaign chairwoman Jen O’Malley Dillon said in a statement. Trump said earlier this month that there would not be any more debates. “Vice President Harris is ready for another opportunity to share a stage with Donald Trump, and she has accepted CNN’s invitation to a debate on October 23. Donald Trump should have no problem agreeing to...
