Former President Trump is suing CBS News over a “60 Minutes” interview it broadcast with Vice President Harris earlier this month that he and his allies have claimed was edited to cast her in a positive light.
The lawsuit, which seeks $10 billion in damages and was filed Thursday in U.S. District Court in the Northern District of Texas alleges the network engaged in “partisan and unlawful acts of election and voter interference through malicious, deceptive, and substantial news distortion.” “To paper over Kamala’s ‘word salad’ weakness, CBS used its national platform on 60 Minutes to cross the line from the exercise of judgment in reporting to deceitful, deceptive manipulation

A new poll has found that former President Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are essentially tied among voters in the battleground state of Michigan.
The Washington Post poll of 1,004 registered voters reveals that Trump is leading Harris there 47% to 45%. Among that group, those who said they were likely to vote for Harris over Trump 47%-46%.
The poll was conducted Oct. 24-28 and has a margin of error of 3.7%. Of those who responded, six out of every 10 voters view the state of the economy negatively, according to The Washington Post.

The short answer is yes. But they don't yet understand what it means.
After years of watching trust in the news media slide down so much that POLITICIANS are now more trusted than journalists, it is dawning on executives and some journalists that people dislike them...they really really dislike them.
But they don't yet understand why. They see the distrust of Americans as an indictment of Americans. We are irredeemable, deplorable, Nazis, and garbage. That sentiment is not directed merely at Trump supporters; it's aimed at every dissenting voice regardless of ideology. It is of course aimed at conservatives in the main because support for Trump is proof positive

Twenty-eight hours. That's all it took to turn around a one-minute campaign ad for Donald Trump after Joe Biden's weird intervention on Tuesday. While Trump himself had all sorts of fun yesterday flipping Biden's script on his supporters being "garbage," his new campaign spot hammers both Biden and Kamala Harris for their campaign of "hate" against the American people.
Or half of us, anyway: That may be an effective closing message -- assuming they can get it on the air in time to matter. Getting the turn-around in that fast of a time frame certainly helps, of course. One minor quibble: Why not include the actual video

Thus far, we've avoided focusing on single polls in the presidential election. Having been burned by that approach in the past, we have instead watched trends across aggregated poll data to ensure we don't get ahead of our skis.
The Quinnipiac poll released late yesterday justifies an exception. First, we're coming down to final iterations in the closing days of the campaign, where pollsters presumably will do their best to ensure accuracy compared to the election outcomes. And second, this is the first time Quinnipiac has shown Donald Trump with a lead -- any lead -- in Pennsylvania (hat tip to A.W. Guerra in Thursday's Wednesday's Final Word):

GOLDSBORO, North Carolina — Early vote numbers in North Carolina show the electorate skewing older and whiter, compared to the state’s voter registration, a red flag for Democrats who need Black voters to turn out in heavy numbers if Kamala Harris is going to flip this state.
As of Wednesday, Black voters make up 18 percent of the electorate in early voting, and some Democratic operatives said they must bump that up to about 20 percent for Harris to be competitive statewide. In 2020, Black voters were 19 percent of the electorate, when Donald Trump narrowly won the state. And Democrats acknowledge that without a swing in their favor

You probably knew it was coming.
President Donald Trump -- the master of trolling -- would have a good response to Joe Biden calling Trump supporters "garbage." Indeed, he did, sitting in a garbage truck on Wednesday, calling out Biden for insulting millions of Americans and having a lot of fun in the process.
He already showed he has a talent for this with his McDonald's success. That was about serving the people.
This time it's about cleaning up Washington. What a great symbolic move it is. How great was it? CNN even had to cut away to cover it, rather than talking about Kamala Harris.

Wednesday afternoon, I participated in an "election integrity call" hosted by the RNC and the Trump campaign. Karoline Leavitt, National Press Secretary for the Trump campaign, spoke first. She explained that they were hosting the call to discuss massive victories in both Pennsylvania and Virginia today.
They also wanted to describe the ongoing fight by the RNC and the campaign to ensure free and fair elections. Leavitt referenced the Trump supporter who was arrested in Delaware County, Pennsylvania, on Monday and the voters turned away in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, on Tuesday. She also noted that they had just won the Bucks County suit 30

The Donald Trump Campaign and the Pennsylvania GOP won a huge victory today in their efforts to force the Bucks County, Pennsylvania, government to permit voters to request mail-in ballots in person.
The campaign filed a lawsuit on Wednesday, documenting how county officials broke state law and turned away voters hours before the deadline (see Trump Campaign Suing Over Voter Suppression in Major Swing State). This was after video surfaced of a police officer and skeevy individuals, some later identified as local Democrat activists, wearing "Voter Protection" badges but with no visible identification credentials shutting down the line at 1:45 p.m.

The Los Angeles Dodgers clinched the 2024 World Series on Wednesday with a 7-6 victory over the New York Yankees in the Bronx, finishing off a impressive display in the matchup between the two biggest-market and star-laden teams in baseball. The 4-games-to-1 victory in the best-of-seven series is the Dodgers franchise’s eighth World Series title, the second in five years and the first since the pandemic-impacted 2020 season. The Dodgers before that hadn’t won Major League Baseball’s Fall Classic since 1988 and before that 1981, when they beat the Yankees. The Dodgers did it in dramatic fashion tonight, coming back from a 5-0 deficit after three innings against

Joe Biden narrowly won Nevada in 2020 by just over 30,000 votes. The state has strong union support for Democrats but anyone expecting a clear Harris victory there this year might be in for a surprise. Hometown reporter Jon Ralston estimates that about 60% of the vote in the state is already in and so far Republicans have a big advantage.
We are at 790,000 ballots recorded, or 39 percent of registered voters. So I’d guess about 60 percent of the vote is in, maybe a little less. We are going to get at least 75 percent of the vote in before Election Day and maybe as much as 90 percent

A pro-Trump internet ad now running in the swing states of Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Wisconsin focuses on Macalester College professor Brian Lozenski, the Tim Walz education appointee who calls for the overthrow of the United States.
The ad plays video of Lozenski describing the United States as “irreversibly racist” and calling for America’s overthrow. It finishes by noting that Walz’s education expertise was one of the reasons Harris selected him as her running mate. The ad was paid for by Restoration PAC.
I broke the story of Lozenski’s call for the overthrow of the U.S. here at National Review Online about a month ago.
