The chickens have come home to roost for Donald Trump in Pennsylvania. After he stuck his nose in the state’s Republican primary process last May against the guidance of his most loyal advisers, many of his once-devoted followers say they are done with the former president. (snip) “If you’re a Republican in Pennsylvania and you look at Donald Trump’s bigfooting of the people in Pennsylvania and the implosion of his candidates in Pennsylvania, you’re pretty upset,” said Urban, a Washington-based strategist who grew up in Beaver County, Pa. Urban said his phone has been ringing all week with county chairs...

On Thursday’s broadcast of Bloomberg’s “Balance of Power,” White House Council of Economic Advisers member Jared Bernstein said that he agrees with President Joe Biden’s vow to not change his policies and Biden “is on extremely solid ground” and “there’s going to come in some evidence from the election that people understood that.” Bernstein stated, “I’m exactly where he is. I mean, again, if you look at the actions that we’ve taken to help ease inflationary pressures, I think there’s evidence that they are yielding results. We talked a little bit about energy, we’ve got more work to do there,...

Governor Chris Sununu (R-NH) said Wednesday on FNC’s “Your World” that there was no red wave because voters feared former President Donald Trump and the candidates he endorsed were extremists. Sununu said, “There was clearly no red wave. I’m not going to predict what comes out of President Biden’s mouth because I don’t think anybody, even he, can predict that at times. But clearly, America stood up and said, look, inflation is important, but we don’t think the Republicans that wanted to go to Washington are the short-term fix for that right now. More than anything, America said we know...

Barack Obama took to the stage in Michigan in late October to warn the crowd of the dangers of political rhetoric. He repeated similar claims during a rally Saturday night in Philadelphia. While not identifying any person or group in particular, it was evident that he meant the Republicans. He brought up the dangers of people standing outside voting booths armed to try to intimidate voters. Yet, Obama was singing a different tune in 2008 when the New Black Panther Party did this very same thing in Philadelphia. They harassed voters, verbally threatened poll watchers trying to enter, and called...

If the polls are any indication, it looks like the Democrats’ game plan for the midterm elections isn’t working. The plan, at its core, comes down to this: Count on the stupidity of American voters, hope they believe what Democrats are telling them and don’t believe their own lying eyes. On crime, in response to a question, President Biden says, “I think it’s [a] real important [issue] and I think we have a great record on it” — even as crime surges in major cities run by Democrats. In a recent New York gubernatorial debate, Lee Zeldin, the Republican challenger,...

The case of the young Buffalo mother who police say was killed at the hands of her abusive husband freed from jail without bail could cost Gov. Kathy Hochul the election, a former Clinton pollster said. Mark Penn told Fox News Wednesday that the brutal Oct. 4 murder of Keaira Bennefield shot by her estranged husband in front of her three children could sway voters away from the incumbent candidate. “Crime is the number one issue in New York State,” Penn said. “This horrific murder — in which someone beats her first and then is let out on the street...

Independent voters are breaking for Republican candidates less than two weeks before the November 8 midterm elections. According to CBS/YouGov polling from October 12 to 14, independent voters preferred generic congressional Democrat candidates over Republican ones by 40 percent to 38 percent. However, in a second poll from October 26 to 28, independents said they preferred generic congressional Republican candidates over Democrat candidates by 49 percent to 33 percent. This means that Republicans saw an 18-point swing in their favor among independent voters over a two-week period.

MADISON — Radical state Rep. Jonathan Brostoff (D-Milwaukee) suggested on Twitter last week that Republican gubernatorial candidate Tim Michels staged a break-in of a car to spotlight Milwaukee epidemic. Michels’ video, in which he talks about the crime occurring while he was hosting a press conference in Milwaukee, has gone viral. And it’s all true — as Fox6’s Jason Calvi reported. The vehicle hit was a rental car driven by a Fox6 producer. “The bad guys are so emboldened, they’re like ‘I don’t care if there’s cameras around, people around, future governors around, I know I’m going to get away...

PILF asserted that Personally Identifiable Information (PII) was an integral tool in maintaining clean voter rolls. Incidents such as one moving and registering to vote in a different location or the death of the voter are potential scenarios that...

MSNBC’s host Joe Scarborough said Thursday on his show “Morning Joe” that Georgia Republican Senate candidate Herschel Walker is “the perfect lab experiment” to see how low Republican voters will go to own the libs. Scarborough said, “It is almost like a perfect lab experiment to see how low the Republican Party can go with people it’s willing to put in the United States Senate, what used to be called the world’s most exclusive club.”

MILWAUKEE - Most voters in Wisconsin who spoke with Fox News said addressing climate change is more important than curbing inflation ahead of the November midterm elections. "Climate change is going to affect our children, our children's children," Heather, from Green Bay, said. But Matt, from Milwaukee, said he cares more about lowering inflation as he feels the impact of price hikes every day. "It comes out of my pocket," Matt said. "I pay for that, and it's easy for me to pick out." Nearly 80% of Democratic Wisconsin voters said climate change was the most concerning issue, an August...

Just 39 percent of registered voters approve of President Joe Biden 36 days away from the midterm election, a Civiqs poll found Monday. A majority (52 percent) of respondents disapproved of Biden, a high number for the leader of the Democrat Party desperate to hold the House and Senate come November.

Billionaire developer Rick Caruso has moved within the margin of error among registered voters in the race for Los Angeles mayor against Democratic Party favorite Rep. Karen Bass (D-CA) — but trails her by double-digits among likely voters in an electorate notorious for low turnout. A new poll by the University of California Berkeley Institute for Governmental Studies shows that Caruso trails Bass by just three points, 34% to 31%, among registered voters — within the poll’s 3.5% margin of error. But he trails by 15 points, 46%-31%, among likely voters. The only good news for Caruso
