CNN data analyst Harry Enten is ringing an alarm bell for Kamala Harris, suggesting that even though she is leading by a point or two in some national polls, she is in the ‘danger zone’ in the swing states where it matters most. Her numbers may not be enough to get her across the finish line because of our Electoral College system. If Harris somehow pulls out the popular vote in November but loses the election, we will once again be subjected to the left’s white-hot rage against the Electoral College, just like in 2016. FOX News reports: Kamala Harris...

CNN senior data reporter Harry Enten warned on Monday that Vice President Kamala Harris’ current national lead over former President Donald Trump is too slim to signal a likely victory in the November election due to the electoral college.

Have you ever noticed that celebrity scandals tend to all follow a similar timeline? At first, there’s the moment you hear about what happened — “Oh no! He did what with the fish?!” That’s a super-memorable moment. If you’re a big fan of the celebrity, you’ll never forget where you were when you heard the news. (You broke our heart, Troy McClure.) Then there’s the moment of acknowledgement, when the celeb must face the consequences of his action(s) for the very first time. This might be a mugshot, a court appearance, or — trending today — a mea culpa on...

It might not be such a “Love Story” after all. Taylor Swift’s endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, may turn more voters away than it attracts.

This is significant because Michigan and Wisconsin are considered some of Kamala Harris’s strongest chances among the swing states, yet the race remains razor thin.

Over the past several days, the media consensus has been that a ranting Donald Trump lost Tuesday night’s presidential debate to the far more contained and cheerful Kamala Harris. Observers on both the Left and Right predicted that the former president’s outraged performance would cost him dearly with undecided and independent voters.But that’s not what these voters are telling reporters.

One the average and one looking at [a] Trump surge.” She said that with polls showing battleground states balanced on a knife-edge, “I think we still have to worry about a Trump surge.”
