Joy Reid said during MSNBC’s election coverage early Wednesday morning that “white women voters did not” show up for Democratic candidate Kamala Harris. When swing state North Carolina was projected to go to Donald Trump, Reid said “we have to be blunt about why.” “Black voters came through for Kamala Harris,” Reid said (via Mediate). “White women voters did not.” She continued, “It’s a state where women lost their reproductive rights, where there was a very heavy push to get women to focus on not … putting back into the White House the person who was responsible for taking those...

President-elect Donald Trump pulled off an electoral map feat no candidate has achieved in four decades: capturing all seven key swing states that have become pivotal to securing a White House victory. Trump prevailed in Arizona, Nevada, Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Georgia and North Carolina — the first presidential candidate of either party to do so since Ronald Reagan’s historic 1984 reelection landslide victory against Walter Mondale, in which the Republican won 49 states. The seven pivotal swing states have vacillated wildly since 2016, when Trump defeated then-opponent Hillary Clinton in all but Nevada.

CNN's Jake Tapper was left stunned after preliminary analysis showed that Kamala Harris failed to convincingly outperform Joe Biden across any state. The Vice President not only lost to Donald Trump, but appears to have unperformed across the board compared to Joe Biden in the 2020 election. Analysis by CNN at around 2am (ET) Wednesday revealed that Harris failed to out perform her boss by three percent in any state. The stark statistics prompted shock from Tapper after he was presented with a map illustrating the dismal performance. 'Holy smokes,' Tapper exclaimed. 'Literally nothing?' The analyst went on to explain...

One could detect a very real and very palpable vibe shift, if you will, at MSNBC once it became clear that Vice President Kamala Harris was not going to win the 2024 presidential election. Resident racial bomb thrower Joy Reid was anything but joyful as she reacted to North Carolina being called for President-Elect Donald Trump, blaming white women for Harris’s defeat in what appeared to be a very favorable political environment:

A man has been charged after allegedly trying to blow up a Tennessee power substation as part of a white supremacist plot to upend American society, another potential instance of extremism targeting critical infrastructure. Skyler Philippi, 24, spent months plotting an attack on the Nashville area, where he hoped to further his “accelerationist” goals of bringing about an all-white culture, according to charging documents. While communicating with confidential sources and undercover FBI agents, Philippi said that he wanted to “attack high economic, high tax, political zones” and that it was “time to do something big.” Philippi, of Columbia, Tennessee, was...

Nov 5 (Reuters) - Democrat Josh Stein won the North Carolina governor's race on Tuesday, Fox News projected, defeating Republican Mark Robinson, whose candidacy imploded following a CNN report that he had called himself a "Black Nazi" and made other offensive remarks on a pornographic website. Robinson, the Southern state's lieutenant governor, has denied the allegations and filed a defamation lawsuit against CNN. Robinson was endorsed by Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, who previously praised him as "Martin Luther King on steroids" but whose campaign distanced itself after the scandal broke in September. Robinson advocated for bringing back slavery for...

As American voters head into Election Day 2024, a chorus of polling experts agreed that the presidential race between Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris is neck-and-neck with no clear favorite. Shortly after midnight on Tuesday, statistician Nate Silver unveiled his Silver Bulletin’s final forecast model, showing each major party candidate essentially has a 50% shot of becoming the nation’s 47th president. “We ran 80,000 simulations tonight,” Silver wrote on X (formerly Twitter). “Harris won in 40,012.” Harrris “did not win in 39,988 simulations (49.985%),” Silver and co-author Eli McKown-Dawson explained in their final Silver...

Former President Trump taunted Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., during a rally in Kinston, North Carolina, on Sunday, calling him a "disgrace," despite receiving his endorsement for president in 2024. "Hopefully we get rid of Mitch McConnell pretty soon ‘cause he helped them, that guy," he said, claiming the Kentucky Republican assisted President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris’ administration. McConnell, the longest-serving party leader in Senate history, notably announced in February that he would not seek the role of leader again after the 2024 elections. "Can you believe he endorsed me?" Trump asked the crowd Sunday. "Boy, that...

The Federal Emergency Management Agency failed to answer nearly half of the calls for aid and assistance it recently received during Hurricanes Helene and Milton, a report released this week shows. During a recent week, FEMA’s call centers were so overwhelmed, almost half of all callers never connected with a federal working, according to data released this week. And it took federal agents on average more than an hour to actually pick up those calls that were answered. The damning report comes as the Harris-Biden administration has been slammed by conservatives for its response to disaster relief after Hurricanes Helene...

With polls showing Vice President Harris and former President Trump locked in a dead heat as the 2024 race for the White House enters its final hours, the fate of the nation will turn on seven battleground states. These swing states have a combined 93 electoral votes. Some are longtime pillars of the so-called Democratic “blue wall,” which Trump demolished in 2016. Others are staples of the Republican coalition President Biden clawed away in 2020. With no pandemic, there will be fewer mail-in ballots this year — which could yield a winner much sooner than in 2020, when the race...

President Donald J. Trump to Hold a Rally in Gastonia, North CarolinaPresident Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States of America, will deliver remarks at a rally in Gastonia, North Carolina on Saturday, November 2, 2024, at 12:00PM EDT. Since Harris took office, prices have surged 21.8 percent, costing North Carolina families an extra $1,000 each month. The average Tar Heel household has already lost nearly $28,000 to inflation, spending an additional $3,210 on food alone since January 2021. On top of that, illegal immigration costs North Carolina taxpayers $3.14 billion annually, adding nearly $800 in extra expenses...

IRST ON FOX: The Harris campaign cut multiple six-figure checks last month for left-leaning groups that have been vocal about defunding the police, reparations, and are tied to radical activists who have supported notorious antisemite Louis Farrakhan. The Harris campaign gave hundreds of thousands of dollars to a handful of Black advocacy groups who are mobilizing Black voters ahead of November's election next week, according to FEC filings released last week. Black Voters Matters Fund, which received $150,000 from the Harris campaign on Sept. 19, has repeatedly called for defunding the police and has been vocal about pushing for reparations....

I voted today in Raleigh NC and the early voting line was pretty long. I'm in a traditionally Republican precinct so this seems like pretty heavy turnout for the R's. Any other local reports are welcomed to this thread.

Four days before Election Day, former President Donald Trump leads Vice President Kamala Harris in the crucial battleground states of Pennsylvania, Nevada and North Carolina. A new telephone and online survey by Rasmussen Reports and American Thinker finds that, if the election were held today, 49% of Likely Pennsylvania voters would vote for Trump, while 47% would vote for Harris. Two percent (2%) say they would vote for some other candidate and another two percent (2%) are still undecided.

Former President Donald Trump is attracting massive crowds as the election barrels down and he travels coast to coast. Trump has taken no days off, traveling across the country and sometimes holding multiple events a day. He’ll be in more states. On Thursday, he’s literally traveling all over the country, hitting every single battleground state — Pennsylvania, Georgia, again, he’ll be in North Carolina, Nevada, Arizona, Michigan, and Wisconsin — all over the next seven days,” Trump campaign press secretary Karoline Leavitt said during an appearance on Breitbart News Daily earlier this week. “So it’s a busy schedule. We’ve been...

A North Carolina church is facing backlash after displaying controversial political messages on its digital billboard. People’s Baptist Church in Greenville has since removed the messages, one of which stated that “free healthcare for illegals is on the ballot.” While the church’s website boasts of a “warm, friendly atmosphere where everyone is welcome,” at least one member of the community feels otherwise. Jessi Melendez told WITN that the political messages were “disgusting.” “You’re talking about human beings,” said Jessi Melendez. “Human beings deserve better than that. This church needs to do better.” The messages on the digital billboard addressed issues...

GOLDSBORO, North Carolina — Early vote numbers in North Carolina show the electorate skewing older and whiter, compared to the state’s voter registration, a red flag for Democrats who need Black voters to turn out in heavy numbers if Kamala Harris is going to flip this state. As of Wednesday, Black voters make up 18 percent of the electorate in early voting, and some Democratic operatives said they must bump that up to about 20 percent for Harris to be competitive statewide. In 2020, Black voters were 19 percent of the electorate, when Donald Trump narrowly won the state. And...

Democrat presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris is waving the white flag in North Carolina, surrendering the state to former President Donald Trump as her campaign withdraws nearly $2 million in planned ad buys from television stations statewide one week before the election.

A three-member appeals court rejected the GOP challenge to not process certain UOCAVA [Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act ] or overseas votes that come into the state this year. Republicans argued that the current laws enable voters to forum shop where they want their vote to be counted despite never living in the state or even in the US. This is the latest ruling that breaks down the integrity of the US election. Democrats will cheer this news. The Hill reported: North Carolina appeals court on Tuesday rebuffed the Republican National Committee’s (RNC) request to not process certain...
