Georgia, a critical swing state, demolished its record for ballots cast on the first day of early voting, state officials said.
Voters in the southern battleground cast 328,000 ballots on Tuesday. The previous record for the first day was 136,000 in 2020.
“Over 300,000 votes cast today! That’s 123% higher than the old record for the 1st day. Great job counties & voters,” Gabe Sterling, the chief operating officer for the state secretary of state, said on X. Georgia will award 16 electoral votes and is expected to play a key role in who wins the White House. Mr. Trump won the state in 2016, but President Biden
Vice President Kamala Harris on Wednesday will tout her GOP support in a bid to attract Trump-wary Republicans and independents in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, the most purplish of Philadelphia’s suburbs.
More than 100 Republicans will join Ms. Harris at a rally in Upper Makefield, Pennsylvania, near the site where George Washington famously crossed the Delaware River. Later, she will try to hammer home her anti-Trump message to a conservative audience when she is interviewed on Fox News’ “Special Report with Bret Baier.”
Among the Republicans who lay out why they are crossing party lines to back Ms. Harris in this year’s election are former New Jersey Gov. Christine Todd Whitman,

At American Greatness, Roger Kimball has fun at the expense of Kamala Harris’s no good, terrible, very bad week. It is all worth reading; he talks about the fake pheasant hunt, the “I’m man enough to vote for Kamala” ad, etc. But I want to focus on this story:
Then there was a disastrous “town hall” meeting in which, again, multiple humiliations were assembled. First, some attentive scribe noticed that Harris was reading her replies off a teleprompter. Remember that was supposed to be an open forum in which Harris could connect with voters personally. But here she was, repeating scripted replies to pre-formulated questions.
Did The New York Times Publish a Hoax?

I am not a ballistics expert and don't play one on TV. I didn't even sleep in a Holiday Inn Express, so what I write here is based entirely on the analysis of others.
But I am pretty sure they are right, given the balance of the evidence and the provenance of the opinion piece published by the New York Times. At issue is a piece published by the Times in which 65 medical personnel who have worked in Gaza during the Israeli operation accuse soldiers of deliberately targeting Gazan children, shooting them in the head. There are lurid
When Kamala Harris ran for president in 2019, she repeatedly warned oil companies they should be prepared to face hefty fines and even criminal prosecution under a future Harris administration for their role in contributing to climate change.
Now, as the Democratic nominee, Harris is highlighting the country’s record oil and gas production. She rarely talks about climate change, and, despite having been a vigorous supporter of the Green New Deal, her campaign’s website is light on climate policy details.
It’s a stark shift that illustrates the delicate politics of energy — but also how Harris has abandoned a number of progressive positions
North Carolina lieutenant governor Mark Robinson filed a defamation lawsuit against CNN over an article the network published connecting the Republican gubernatorial nominee to numerous salacious race and sex-related comments posted on a porn site years ago, his campaign announced at a Tuesday morning news conference in Raleigh.
Robinson has categorically denied the contents of the report, which connects him to a username that identified as a “black Nazi” and defended slavery on a porn-site messaging board years ago, among other unsavory posts. The report prompted the Republican Governors Association to stop reserving ads on his behalf,
Earlier today, I wrote that the presidential race appears to have shifted slightly this month in terms of national poll results, and perhaps more substantially in the betting markets. The real currents of public opinion that matter don't take place on a national basis, however; they take place in the states where the election will be won and lost.
As RCP notes, the trends look different in those two contexts. Kamala Harris leads in the aggregate national polls by 1.7 points, which sounds like good news for Democrats until one looks at the historic trends in the last two cycles. On this date
J.D. Vance is SOOOO good at this.
The corporate media has been on a mission to destroy Donald Trump for almost a decade. They take swings at him, and he gives as good as he gets in the verbal fistfights. Think of it as a WWE fight where big bruisers slug it out.
The media taking on J.D. Vance, though, is something else entirely. The media assassins come at him with fists and occasionally a sword, and Vance whips out his gun and shoots them. Vance is a master at this kind of campaigning. I have never seen anybody better at dealing with the hostile media
Newly promoted White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, who also now serves as a senior adviser to President Joe Biden, prevents national security spokesperson John Kirby from joining her at the podium at White House press briefings, people familiar with the matter told Axios.
Infighting and “tension” reportedly exist between Jean-Pierre and Kirby about how much time each is allotted to provide the establishment media with canned public relations remarks during press briefings, Axios previously reported. Kirby is reportedly a “Biden favorite” with experience in foreign policy.
Axios reported Monday on Jean-Pierre’s attempt to prevent Kirby from speaking to the press:
The mainstream media has long been a cheerleader for the Democrats. Its coverage of Donald Trump is overwhelmingly negative, while its coverage of Kamala Harris is so positive and glowing that it could blind you. The media will also give extensive coverage to any poll that shows Harris ahead and dismiss or even ignore polls that look good for Trump. However, in the past week or so, there's been an attitude change as polls have shifted to Trump.
Last week, Mika Brzezinski, the co-host of “Morning Joe,” admitted that “There’s this fear that Donald Trump is poised for victory" because nothing Harris has done in recent weeks

Democrats are now in that phase of the campaign where they're losing their minds because things are not looking great. They're throwing everything up against the wall and it's only getting worse. Now the blame-throwing is coming out.
We reported on how former President Barack Obama had a bit of a hissy fit at black men for not being supportive enough of Kamala Harris. He then appeared to blame them for being sexist.
That didn't go over well with black men or folks like former Ohio State Senator Nina Turner, who blasted Obama for trying to lecture

“Transphobia is child abuse,” Alex Roque, who runs the Ali Forney Center for homeless LGBTQ youth in New York City, asserted on a U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) webinar last fall.
In less than three minutes, he cast a vision for completely transforming child protective systems nationwide. Family rejection of a child’s gender identity cannot be dismissed as a personal view, he argued. Non-affirmation must be treated as abuse. “If they were denying them food or denying them access to school or denying other things, there would be headlines,” Roque continued. “There would be prosecution.”
The Biden-Harris administration is giving Israel 30 days to improve humanitarian aid efforts in Gaza or else the US could halt military assistance, according to a letter sent to the Israeli military. The Oct. 13 letter, penned by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, threatens to pause the delivery of US weapons and aid to Israel unless the Jewish state provides assurance that humanitarian aid is flowing into Gaza unhindered, according to reports in Israeli media.
New Zealand’s defense minister issued stinging rebukes of what she said were “vile” and “misogynistic” online remarks by “armchair admirals” about the woman captain of a navy ship that ran aground, caught fire and sank off the coast of Samoa.
“Seriously, it’s 2024,” Judith Collins told reporters Thursday. “What the hell’s going on here?”
After days of comments on social media directed at the gender of Commander Yvonne Gray, Collins urged the public to “be better.” Women members of the military had also faced verbal abuse in the street in New Zealand since the ship — one of nine in the country’s navy — was lost on Sunday, Collins said.

The Grand Rapid City Clerk’s Office has announced that it is resending 100 absentee ballots after the original ballots mysteriously disappeared in the mail.
Grand Rapids City Clerk Joel Hondorp revealed absentee ballots were sent out on September 26 but was later notified by 100 residents in northwest Grand Rapids that they never received them.
Hondrop shared, “It’s common for some absentee ballots to get lost because the United States Postal Service has many moving pieces.”
He added, “If a voter wants to know what the status of their ballot is, if they haven’t received it, they can go to Michigan.gov/vote and they can track their ballot that way.”
Vice President Kamala Harris is adding to her recent “media blitz” that until now has included stops at mostly friendly news outlets, talk shows and podcasts (which the Democratic presidential nominee has still inexplicably managed to bomb).
Yet, this week, she’s shaking things up and doing her first ever sit-down interview with Fox News. The interview will take place Wednesday with Fox News anchor Bret Baier. Baier has said that he won't treat Harris with kid gloves during their conversation, and that any editing of the interview will only be for “timing” and that “no topic is off the table.” Sounds promising.
Former Romney Strategist Warns Republicans

Might ‘Burn Down’ Election Centers
to Stop Black Votes 19 replies
Stuart Stevens of the Lincoln Project, a former campaign strategist for Mitt Romney's presidential run in 2012, suggests Republicans could "burn down" election centers in an effort to disenfranchise black voters.
Stevens was a guest of "Chris Jansing Reports" Tuesday, where he told the panel that Trump supporters might try to "violently disrupt" vote counts in predominantly black cities on Election Day.
He claims disputes over voting tallies in the previous election centered around cities that have a "high percentage of African-American voters," then presents a scenario in which the Trump campaign thinks they are in a losing position because of those locations.
Vice President Kamala Harris raised doubts on Tuesday about whether November’s election will be “free and fair.”
Harris has not yet answered if she would support certifying a Trump victory, although she has been highly critical of Republicans who objected to President Joe Biden’s victory in 2020.
“Why are people acting like this is going to be a free and fair election and he won’t try to steal it?” Charlamagne tha God asked Harris.
Harris replied the election would only be “free and fair” if Americans “stand up for that.”
“It will be a free and fair election if we, the American people, stand up for that,”
A new ad on behalf of Kamala Harris called "Man Enough" was released Friday, and it's easily the most cringe-worthy you'll ever see. It just might win the election for Donald Trump.
(Video) "I'm a man," says a white man in a cowboy hat. "I'm a man," says a black guy lifting weights. "I'm a man," says the caricature of a bearded motorcycle club guy, and so on. As several more "masculine"-looking guys claim to be "a man," you get the feeling there's a punchline coming.
There isn't. The stand-ins for real men are all actors, and they are all unintentionally funny representations of what liberals think "men" are.
(The Hill) – The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) temporarily paused aid in parts of North Carolina this weekend after alleged threats targeted the agency’s personnel aiding in recovery efforts following Hurricane Helene.
Ashe County Sheriff Phil Howell said in a statement Sunday that FEMA personnel in North Carolina’s “mountain region” were targeted by threats, prompting FEMA to take precautionary steps and temporarily pause aid operations at other FEMA sites. Neither Ashe County nor its surrounding counties were targeted by the threats, Howell said.
The property management firm managing several buildings in Aurora, Colorado, that have been taken over by members of the Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang, is speaking out. The company has taken to X to provide a full description of how the buildings were invaded and taken over by the illegal alien gangsters, how the tenants fled, how people were threatened and assaulted, and how the local government reacted. It all starts here. [Tweet, video]
The thread starts with a powerful affirmation of what we already knew, and what some in government and the legacy media have tried to downplay: Gangs have taken control of entire apartment buildings.
Vice President Kamala Harris expressed openness to reparations during a Tuesday interview with Charlamagne tha God.
Sixty-eight percent of Americans oppose reparations, a Pew Research poll found in 2022.
“It has to be studied, there’s no question about that, and I’ve been very clear about that position,” Harris told the radio host:
In terms of my immediate plan, I will tell you a few of the following one as it relates to the economy, which is a lot of what you have addressed. Look, I grew up in the middle class. My mother, you know, worked hard, raised me and my sister,
