A number of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. supporters recently said on social media they will vote for Donald Trump if the independent presidential candidate drops out of the 2024 election and endorses the Republican nominee as a new poll found that if Kennedy Jr. leaves the race more of his supporters would lean towards backing the former president than Vice President Kamala Harris.[Snip] A number of self-described Kennedy Jr. supporters on X, formerly Twitter, said they are either open to switching their votes to Trump should the environmental campaigner and vaccine sceptic leave the contest, or had already decided to do so.
One of the things that deeply worries those who are planning to vote for Donald Trump is the possibility of election fraud. The fraud that worries them most is that corrupt precincts will wait to see how the wind blows before finalizing their vote counts. If the honest vote count shows that Kamala Harris won their state, they’ll call it. However, if an honest vote count shows that Donald Trump won, they’ll start manufacturing votes.[Snip] My friend “Jonathan Gault,”however, emailed me a suggestion that can be implemented in every county in America—especially every Republican-leaning county: No precincts should release vote counts until every vote is counted across the state.
Chicago — Former GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy made a surprise appearance on the final day of the Democratic National Convention, just hours before Vice President Harris is set to take the stage.“I held a conference open to the public, open to the press, earlier today, where I laid out an alternative vision — the vision that not only our party, but the America First movement and Donald Trump stands for — to give voters that choice,” [Snip] “And it was to call on Kamala Harris to offer her own vision. Let’s see if she does it tonight,” he added.

Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell signaled on Friday that the central bank is prepared to begin lowering its key interest rate, likely starting next month, as the Fed seeks to prevent further deterioration in the labor market while continuing to monitor inflation.[Snip] The July employment report, which showed weaker-than-expected job growth, added to these concerns and rattled financial markets. As well, this week the Labor Department released revisions to its estimates of nonfarm payrolls that showed the economy added roughly 818,000 fewer jobs than the monthly jobs reports had estimated. This suggests the labor market began to soften earlier than was thought.
“PBS NewsHour" anchor Judy Woodruff apologized Wednesday for reporting a story about former President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that both leaders have staunchly denied. Woodruff posted an apology to X expressing regret for reporting this week that in a phone call, Trump urged Netanyahu to delay a hostage deal between Israel and Hamas until after the 2024 presidential election to benefit him politically.

Country legends The Chicks were heavily panned for an awkwardly off-key performance of the National Anthem at the Democrat National Convention.
The Nashville natives, who created a firestorm of controversy 20 years ago over criticism of George W. Bush and the Iraq War, were a highly-anticipated get for the DNC on its final night.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, washed-up talk show host Oprah Winfrey enthusiastically endorsed Kamala Harris at the DNC Convention in Chicago Wednesday night while trashing President Trump and other Republicans at the event.
Winfrey immediately opened her speech by outlandishly accusing Republicans of trying to scare voters, something Democrats, including Comrade Kamala, have been doing non-stop for decades. She also took a mean-spirited shot at Trump, calling him an impulsive liar and con artist.
“We are beyond ridiculous tweets and lies and foolery,” she bellowed.
Earlier today the Bureau of Labor and Statistics (BLS) revised the annual jobs report to remove 818,000 previously recorded jobs.
[…] “The Bureau of Labor Statistics revised down its total tally of jobs created in the year through March by 818,000 as part of its preliminary annual benchmark review of payroll data. That suggests the economy added an average of 174,000 jobs per month during that time period — below the previous 242,000 estimate. On a monthly basis, that amounts to about 68,000 fewer jobs. It marks the largest downward revision since 2009.” (read more)

In long-winded remarks, Kennedy said he was withdrawing from the race in swing states because, 'I would likely hand the election over to the Democrats, with whom I disagree on the most existential issues.'
