Ahead of one of America's most polarizing presidential elections, a new poll reveals the Democrat-favored catchphrase that may be turning Latino voters toward Republicans. The term 'Latinx' is often used by liberals as a gender-neutral term to refer to people of Latin American descent or cultural identity. But new research suggests that not only do many Latinos dislike the word, the term itself may even be pushing them to vote for Donald Trump.

I am one of more than 120,000 Pennsylvanians of Ukrainian heritage who will vote on which presidential candidate best serves our interests. Since only 80,000 votes separated the presidential candidates in 2020, our community's vote could be key to deciding who wins Pennsylvania's 19 electoral votes in November: Kamala Harris or Donald Trump.After watching news of the full-scale invasion, Trump gave Russian President Vladimir Putin a green light by calling his strategic decisions “savvy” and “genius.” When Trump met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky last month, he promised to strike a “rapid deal” to end the war but provided no...

Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that if elected, Vice President Kamala Harris will be persuadable on the U.S. support for Israel in the war. Host Jake Tapper said, “We know the election is going to be very, very close. Michigan has a large Arab-American and Muslim-American population that traditionally votes Democrat. But there’s a lot of concern among Democrats that a lot of those voters are either going to go third party or not going to vote at all in protest of the Biden-Harris support for Prime Minister Netanyahu of Israel. What do...

The Harris campaign announced more taxpayer-funded proposals for the black community on Monday. The proposals come after polling showed Harris has about 12-15 percent less black voter support than President Joe Biden won in 2020. The Harris campaign’s new proposals to try to reduce the defections include legalizing marijuana, a new loan program, preferred banking options for entrepreneurs, preferred apprenticeship and mentorship programs, and preferred expanded health screenings, the New York Times reported: The campaign is facing pressure to shore up support among Black men, as polls show that Ms. Harris is receiving significantly lower support from the voting bloc...

The newspaper continued: Nearly eight out of 10 Black voters nationwide said they would vote for Ms. Harris, the poll found, a marked increase from the 74 percent of Black voters who said they would support Mr. Biden before he dropped out of the race in July. But Mr. Biden won 90...

With less than a month until Election Day, a new poll from Quinnipiac University reveals that former President Donald Trump is gaining ground in the crucial swing states of Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin—collectively known as the “Blue Wall.” The results have surprised many, showing Trump with a significant advantage in Michigan and Wisconsin, while Vice President Kamala Harris holds only a narrow lead in Pennsylvania.

NPR host Maria Hinojosa said on this week’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “The Sunday Show” that Latinos who support former President Donald Trump “want to be white.” Host Jonathan Capehart said, “This is from this Telemundo poll, that shows a shrinking majority of Latino voters in favor of the Democratic candidate.” He asked, “Vice President Harris at 54%, she has a 14 point lead but it has been shrinking after each consecutive presidential election from 2016. Why is that? Why is the Democratic share of the Latino vote shrinking?” Hinojosa said, “What I said to you when we asked the question...

Host Joy Reid said, “You did recently speak with a lot of black men supporting Trump. I have to ask you about it.

Former Congressman Adam Kinzinger predicted that late Republican President Ronald Reagan would be backing Vice President Kamala Harris over former President Donald Trump during the 2024 presidential election. Kinzinger, among Trump's most outspoken GOP critics and a member of the House January 6 committee while serving in Congress, endorsed Harris during the Democratic National Convention last month despite remaining a Republican. On Tuesday, hours before Trump and Harris were set to face off in their first and possibly only presidential debate, Kinzinger speculated that Republican icon Reagan would have taken a similar stance by supporting Harris over Trump. "Reagan would...

Vice President Kamala Harris’s support among Jewish voters is at its lowest level for a Democrat since the 1988 election, when former Gov. Michael Dukakis (D) lost to George H. W. Bush. Harris’s diminished support suggests Jewish voters are uneasy about the Biden-Harris administration’s handling of the Hamas/Israel war and its management of pro-Palestinian protests on college campuses. Harris’s support among registered Jewish voters is 65 percent, Pew Research found this week, the lowest mark for a Democrat since Dukakis lost to Bush with only 64 percent support among the demographic. Trump has 34 percent support among Jewish voters, according...

On Thursday’s broadcast of Newsmax TV’s “The Record,” Harvard Law School Professor Emeritus Alan Dershowitz said that he “can’t support a party that has Liz Warren and Bernie Sanders” and those who boycotted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech on Wednesday and he takes a view of “boycott the boycotters. If you boycotted Netanyahu, I’m boycotting you. I’m not going to ever vote for you or support you or give you any kind of financial support.” He also stated that “The Liz Warrens of the world are anti-American, anti-Israel, anti-democracy.”

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) on Monday said Vice President Harris has his “full support” as she runs for president, while applauding President Biden for putting the “country first” and withdrawing from the 2024 race. “I am very excited to throw my full support behind the vice president. I have seen her work as a prosecutor, as an attorney general, as a senator, as vice president,” Schiff said on NBC News’s “Today.” “I’m very excited to work with her as president. I haven’t seen this kind of excitement in the Democratic Party in quite a long time. People are really energized.”

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed his country’s thanks to President Joe Biden for his “unwavering support” after the 81-year-old Democrat announced he would withdraw from the 2024 presidential election, but will remain in office for the remainder of his term. With President Biden’s decision to stand down in the campaign after a collapse in support as the broader public began to question his apparent mental decline, the future of American financial and military support for the war in Ukraine is in doubt. Zelensky, whose government and military have relied heavily on aid from the Biden White House, thanked the outgoing...

Vice President Harris is racing to lock down support for her White House bid, just hours after President Biden announced that he would no longer seek reelection. Harris on Sunday spoke with the chairs of three key coalitions on Capitol Hill: Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, Rep. Nanette Barragán (D-Calif.) of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus and Rep. Ann McLane Kuster (D-N.H.) of the New Democrat Coalition. All three have backed Harris for the nomination.

MILWAUKEE, Wisconsin — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office praised former President Donald Trump on Wednesday for his record of achievements in protecting Israel and promoting peace between Israel and neighboring Arab states. “Israelis and the prime minister remember very, very well the incredible support which President Trump, while he was in office, gave to this country,” said Israeli government spokesman David Mencer. Mencer was reacting to news that Trump had reposted Netanyahu’s message of support following the attempted assassination on the former U.S. president on Saturday. Netanyahu expressed his relief that Trump had survived, offered best wishes for his...

Television personality and investor Mark Cuban said Wednesday that Silicon Valley’s recent wave of support for former President Trump could be a “play” to boost bitcoin. Cuban, the pro-crypto billionaire who has backed President Biden’s bid for reelection, argued that the potential inflationary impacts of lower taxes and higher tariffs under a second Trump presidency could drive up the price of bitcoin. “Here is a contrary opinion on the emergence of Silicon Valley support for former President Trump. Which like all my opinions on here, probably won’t be popular,” Cuban wrote in a post on the social platform X. “It’s...
