Based on This Minnesota Poll, Did Kamala Choose the Wrong Horse for a Running Mate? – townhall.com

Excerpt from townhall.com

For Democrats who pined for Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, this is a moment for you, though I don’t think Donald Trump takes this state despite coming within a hair of it in 2016. New surveys show the Harris-Walz ticket didn’t get a bump from their convention. Mr. Walz could be hurting Ms. Harris in his home state, where the vice president had a healthy 10-point lead over Mr. Trump. It’s now 48-43 (via NY Post):

Kamala Harris’ bet on Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz has actually lost her ground in his home state.

That’s the takeaway from new polling of 635 Likely Voters from Minnesota’s KSTP, which found that the Democratic presidential nominee’s advantage over Donald Trump has been cut in half since she picked Walz as her running mate last month and showcased the ticket at the Democratic National Convention.

Harris now leads Trump 48% to 43%, a significant decline for her from the previous survey that showed her up 50% to 40%.

[…]

This is particularly remarkable given that this was a poll that included more Democrats than Republican respondents — with Dems making up 40% of the sample, Republicans 35%, and independents the remainder.

The World’s Bad Actors Do Not Want Trump to Win in November – PJ Media

Excerpt from pjmedia.com

The world leaders who most want to knock the United States of America off of its superpower perch don’t want any part of a second Donald Trump term in the White House. They’ve all been living large on the weakness of the Biden administration. There were probably buckets of tears shed for days in Beijing, Moscow, and Tehran when Biden was tweeted out of the presidential race.

After the major players in China, Russia, and Iran realized that the Democrats were serious about this Kamala Harris thing, they no doubt turned their frowns upside-down.

Back to Russia: the Dems know that Putin would prefer Trump not return to power, despite any public proclamations to the contrary. Should Kamala end up winning the presidency, we won’t hear so much as a peep from them about the Russians for a while. The Republicans and Democrats can get back to debating whether there is a bear in the woods.

Trump’s new allies: Tech billionaires are jumping on the MAGA train – theblaze.com

Excerpt from www.theblaze.com

Silicon Valley has traditionally been a reliable gold mine for the Democratic Party and progressive causes. But a rightward shift is occurring. The first fault lines popped up years ago with Elon Musk, but the shift has been accelerating in recent months, with several movers and shakers throwing their weight and wealth behind Donald Trump. Silicon Valley just isn’t as comfortable being a Democratic lapdog as it once was.

Wealthy venture capitalists from hedge fund manager Bill Ackman to Marc Andreessen, Ben Horowitz, the Winklevoss twins, David Sacks, Joe Lonsdale, Doug Leone, and many more are now off the reservation and openly stating support for Trump and opposition to Kamala Harris and the Democratic Party’s agenda for America.

Silicon Valley titans want deregulation and a place for AI and exploratory technologies to thrive. Whether that’s an entirely positive or negative direction for the right to head in the future remains an open debate, but the point is that the tech shift to Trump isn’t just about emotions; it’s about business.

EXCLUSIVE — The American Principles Project super PAC’s $18 million ad blitz targeted Vice President Kamala Harris’s stances on social issues such as transgender surgeries for minors and girls’ sports in key swing states.

The APP describes itself as “one of the most effective and influential pro-family groups in Washington, DC,” advocating conservative social policy. Its super PAC showed the Washington Examiner three ads it is airing, targeting 7 million voters across seven swing states.

One ad derides Harris as “Dangerously Liberal,” with the narrator saying she backs taxpayer-funded transgender surgeries for minors and biological males who identify as female competing in women’s sports. The narrator also says she supports the inclusion of sexually explicit books in elementary school libraries, including blurred images of one such example.

Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris has hired a prominent socialist strategist to advise her 2024 campaign.

Vice President Harris is bringing in Deborah Mattinson, a top advisor to the U.K.’s ruling far-left Labour Party.

According to Politico, Mattinson will advise Harris and her campaign in the final weeks running up to Election Day.

Mattinson, a top adviser to recently elected U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer, is set to travel to Washington, D.C. next week.

She will hold meetings with strategists for the Harris-Walz campaign, according to Politico.

Mattinson will brief the strategists on how Starmer and the Labour Party secured the prime minister seat in July, the outlet reported.

Labour is a left-wing party affiliated with the Party of European Socialists.

The campaign for Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris is refusing to reveal the vice president’s “current position” regarding slavery reparations.

The statement from the Harris campaign has provoked mockery on social media over the Democrat candidate’s flip-flopping and lack of transparency.

Harris’s “position,” or lack thereof, was highlighted Wednesday by National Republican Senatorial Committee official Philip Letsou.

In a post on X, Letsou shared a screenshot from Politico’s “Playbook” newsletter.

Activists Pressure Harris to Keep Reparations Promise in Campaign – breitbart.com

Go to Article
Excerpt from www.breitbart.com

The radical left is pressuring its ally, Vice President Kamala Harris, to continue to support the controversial idea of reparations for black Americans.

Harris remained silent on Monday about whether or not she supports a newly proposed package of reparations bills in California. The Harris campaign ignored Breitbart News’s request for comment and the Washington Post’s multiple requests for comment on her current position on reparations.

Though 68 percent of Americans oppose reparations according to a Pew Research poll in 2022, Harris pledged several times to force taxpayers to pay reparations for descendants of Africans enslaved.

“I think there needs to be some form of reparations and we can discuss what that is,” Harris told The Root in 2019 when asked if “black people should get reparations.”

While running for president in 2020, Harris told Reverend Al Sharpton, an MNSBC host and activist, that she would sign a reparations bill if she became president.

Gold Star Families Blast Kamala For Tone-Deaf Attack On Trump’s Arlington Cemetery Visit – wltreport.com

Go to Article
Excerpt from wltreport.com

On the anniversary of the attack that left 13 U.S. service members dead during Joe Biden’s botched military withdrawal from Afghanistan, Donald Trump paid a respectful visit to Arlington National Cemetery to mark the somber occasion.

Neither Joe Biden nor Kamala Harris bothered to make an appearance, but that did not stop the latter from attacking Trump on social media for allegedly using the event for political gain.

As Vice President, I have had the privilege of visiting Arlington National Cemetery several times. It is a solemn place; a place where we come together to honor American heroes who have made the ultimate sacrifice in service of this nation.

It is not a place for politics.

And…

— Kamala Harris (@KamalaHarris) August 31, 2024

Almost immediately, individuals who lost loved ones in service to this country began speaking out against Harris’ comment and in support of Trump, as the Daily Caller reported:

Gold Star families spoke out against Vice President Kamala Harris after she weighed in on the controversy surrounding former President Donald Trump’s visit to Arlington Cemetery to honor the 13 soldiers killed in the Biden administration’s Afghanistan withdrawal.

Harris posted a tweet Saturday slamming Trump for filming videos while honoring the fallen soldiers, adding that she, unlike the former president, “will always honor the service and sacrifice of all of America’s fallen heroes.” Eight Gold Star families took to Twitter to rebuke Harris’s comments, explaining that they invited Trump to the cemetery for the ceremony and have never heard from the vice president in the three years since they lost their children in the August 2021 terrorist attack in Kabul.

Wait, Did CNN Edit Segments of Their Interview With Kamala Harris? –  townhall.com

Go to Article
Excerpt from townhall.com

Let’s take it slow here. It’s an allegation that caught the eye of RealClearPolitics’ Tom Bevan, who rightly said that if this is true, CNN has a significant scandal on its hands. It wouldn’t be the first time a network has done this—this type of stuff goes back to when NBC was busted for chopping up the 911 call from George Zimmerman to smear him as a racist. Yet, Zimmerman wasn’t a presidential candidate. If true, the anti-Trump network took extreme measures to ensure Ms. Harris’ unelectable policy positions were snuffed out of their sit-down with her.

It was only 18 minutes, but it was a trainwreck. It was word salad, drowned in a dressing of unrepentance. Ms. Harris knew something was wrong with Mr. Biden. With the president no longer running for reelection, reports and stories from various American and European officials came out of the woodwork regarding how everyone saw how frail and weak Biden was becoming, likening it to how some members were treating their elderly parents. Harris showed zero regrets for being involved in the White House cover-up that shielded some from the president’s declining health. I say some because half the country already knew this guy was cooked.

Here’s the problem: it’s based on one tweet from someone who claims to know CNN’s managing editor. The post alleges that the interview was 41 minutes long and included topics like fracking and the Green New Deal. The Harris camp allegedly objected to half of the interview, which was pre-taped.

If this is true, it’s a major scandal.https://t.co/v2V4sIyI4u

2 Pollsters Who Got it Right in 2016 and 2020 Say Kamala Harris is Failing – lidblog.com

Excerpt from lidblog.com

Two polling groups where were in the top tier of getting poll predictions right in 2016 and 2020 say that Kamala Harris has already peaked and that Donald Trump is the favorite to win the 2024 presidential election.

The New York Post is reporting that InsiderAdvantage and Trafalgar polling have surveyed seven battleground states and predicted the Trump would end up with 296 electoral votes as things stand now. Only 270 electoral votes are needed to win the White House.

“Matt Towery of Georgia-based InsiderAdvantage found Trump ahead in Arizona, Nevada and North Carolina (and down by 0.4% only in Georgia),” the Post reported.

“He noted that both he and Robert Calahy of Trafalgar (which handled Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan) were both in the top 3 of pollsters in the ‘16 and ‘20 cycles because their methodology allows them to “pick up some Trump vote that some of the other pollsters might not be able to get,” the paper continued.

Poll Finds Donald Trump Leading Kamala Harris Among Veterans by Double Digits Despite Smears From Democrats – The Gateway Pundit

Excerpt from www.thegatewaypundit.com

Donald Trump leads Kamala Harris among military veterans by a whopping ten points, according to new polling.

This is one of the main reasons that Democrats and the media have now spent days trashing the Gold Star families that defended Donald Trump after they invited him to join them at Arlington National Cemetery.

The smears clearly haven’t worked.

Breitbart News reports:

Poll: Donald Trump Leads Kamala Harris Among Veterans by Double Digits, Despite Dem Smears

A 2024 presidential election poll released Thursday shows former President Donald Trump leading Vice President Kamala Harris among veterans by 10 percentage points — 51 percent to 41 percent.

The poll published by Semafor, showed that Democrat efforts to smear the former president’s support for veterans is not working.

Democrats recently accused Trump of using Arlington Cemetery as a campaign ad backdrop after Gold Star families invited him to participate in a solemn Labor Day ceremony honoring their loved ones who died in the Biden-Harris administration’s botched Afghanistan withdrawal.

Trump holds 5-point lead over Kamala among men: ABC/Ipsos poll | The Post Millennial – thepostmillennial.com

Go to Article
Excerpt from thepostmillennial.com

Pre-Democratic National Convention, Harris held a six-point lead over Trump among women (51-45 percent) and a three-point lead among men over Trump (49-46 percent).

A new poll has found that a majority of men support Donald Trump ahead of the 2024 election, while a majority of women support Kamala Harris. This is a shift from polling done before the Democratic National Convention, where Harris held a slight lead among both demographics.

The ABC News/Ipsos poll, released on Sunday, found that 51 percent of American men support, while 46 percent of men said they would vote for Harris. Among women, 54 percent said they support Harris, while 41 percent said they would vote for Trump.

Pre-Democratic National Convention, Harris held a six-point lead over Trump among women (51-45 percent) and a three-point lead among men over Trump (49-46 percent).

Among the demographics leading this change are white men and women. Among white women, Trump saw a 13-point lead over Harris pre-convention. Post-DNC, however, Trump is now holding a 2-point lead over Harris. And among white men, Trump went from holding a 13-point lead over Harris to a 21-point lead post-DNC.

Nate Silver and Others Present Damning Evidence That Kamala Harris’ Candidacy Has Stalled – townhall.com

Excerpt from townhall.com

… With the Democratic convention out of the way, Harris saw no bump. The race is razor-thin, drastically different from when Biden started running away from Donald Trump. In the states that matter, it’s not looking too hot, so the former president notched a few more points ahead of Harris in Nate Silver’s Electoral College probability model. Trump has a 58 percent chance of clinching 270 votes—it was 56 percent earlier this week—and winning the election, with an 80 percent probability of winning a state carried by Biden in 2020.

If it’s Pennsylvania, it’s the ballgame. Silver noted that Harris hasn’t had a lot of good polling. He’d also be more bullish on her candidacy if she didn’t rehire all of Biden’s operatives. Last, Pennsylvania and now Michigan “has become something of an issue for Harris.”

I think I’d buy the bull case for Harris a bit more if she hadn’t rehired so many of the Biden people.

Excerpt from slaynews.com

President Donald Trump has overtaken Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris in Michigan, a recent poll shows.

Although the lead is small, it represents a crack in the so-called “blue wall” that is vital for Harris to win, Breitbart reported.

The WDIV/Detroit News poll revealed that 43.5% of likely voters supported Harris over 44.7% of likely voters who said they’d vote for Trump.

The survey was taken between August 26 and 29, just days after the Democratic National Convention.

Moreover, 4.7% of voters said they supported Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., who the Associated Press noted dropped out of the race and endorsed Trump on August 23, just days before the survey began.

Another 4.8% were undecided, while 2.3% supported an unnamed third-party candidate.

Democrats In PANIC MODE After New Poll Shows Staggering Shift In Key State – trendingpoliticsnews.com

Go to Article
Excerpt from trendingpoliticsnews.com

Vice President Kamala Harris’s sudden entry into the presidential election has upended the electoral math to reach the White House, growing her levels of support above those of President Joe Biden in some polls while dampening it in others. All signs point to Pennsylvania being the pivotal battleground that may determine the election, and a new poll in the state’s U.S. Senate race indicates that Republicans are gaining traction.

Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA), who is seeking his fourth six-year term, faces a pugnacious challenger in Dave McCormick, a businessman and former U.S. Treasury undersecretary for international affairs. In a notable break from previous polls, McCormick, 59, is now tied with the 64-year-old incumbent, according to a survey from CNN and SSRS. Nearly 800 likely voters were asked to choose between the who men, each of whom drew 46%. Another poll by Wick, also conducted during the final week of August, gave Sen. Casey a 2% lead, the smallest on record for the past several months, according to FiveThirtyEight.

oll – Pennsylvania

🔴 McCormick – 46%
🔵 Casey (Inc) – 46%

SSRS #B – 789 LV – 8/29

— Political Polls (@PpollingNumbers) September 4, 2024

Control of the U.S. Senate hinges on Pennsylvania and several contests where weak incumbents or open seats offer Republicans a high likelihood of success. Voters locally have ranked the economy as their number one issue this year followed by threats to democracy, immigration, health care, housing affordability, and abortion access, previous polls showed. Just last week, presidential pulling showed Harris and Trump tied at 48% with 3% of Pennsylvania voters remaining undecided and 1% saying they would vote for a third-party candidate. The state’s general election ballot will include presidential candidates for the Green and Libertarian Parties; Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., the most notable alternative, ended his flagging campaign last month and endorsed Trump.

McCormick has seized on migrant troubles in the state’s capital of Philadelphia, burdening Sen. Casey with the responsibility of record migrant crossings over the past several years. A new ad highlighted by Fox News tells the story of Blair County Sheriff Jim Ott who lost his son to an overdose from fentanyl that was carried across the southern border. “If the border was secure, chances are my son would be alive today. We can’t bring back the people we’ve lost. But we can get rid of the weak politicians like Bob Casey who let it happen,” he said. The $2.2 million ad buy is a critical injection of spending to raise Casey’s disapproval rating while boosting McCormick’s low name recognition, one of the biggest challenges in taking on an incumbent.

In response to McCormick’s attack, Sen. Casey’s spokesperson told Fox News in a statement, “Senator Casey is working hand in hand with law enforcement to stop the flow of fentanyl, and has passed bipartisan legislation to sanction Chinese fentanyl producers. Meanwhile, David McCormick invested millions in China’s largest producer of fentanyl and even opposed a bipartisan border deal that would’ve helped prevent fentanyl from being trafficked across our border.”

Trump, Harris Neck and Neck in Key Swing States as Campaigns Ramp Up: Poll – freebeacon.com

Go to Article
Excerpt from freebeacon.com

Former president Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are locked in a razor-thin race for the White House in six key battleground states, according to a CNN poll released Wednesday.

In Georgia and Nevada, 48 percent of likely voters support Harris while 47 percent back Trump, and in must-win Pennsylvania, the candidates are tied at 47 percent, according to the poll conducted from Aug. 23 to Aug. 29. Harris leads Trump by 6 points in Wisconsin and by 5 points in Michigan while Trump is ahead in Arizona, 49 percent to Harris’s 44 percent, all barely outside the survey’s 4.9 percent margin of error.

The new polling comes as the candidates gear up for the final sprint to Nov. 5. With nine weeks until Election Day, both campaigns are focusing their efforts on these key swing states.

Over the holiday weekend, Harris campaigned in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania, also known as the three “blue wall” states, and is set to deliver an economy-focused campaign speech in New Hampshire on Wednesday afternoon. Her GOP counterpart is also campaigning in the toss-up battleground states, joining in a Fox News town hall event in Pennsylvania Wednesday evening and hosting events in Wisconsin and Arizona later this week.
