Tens of thousands of striking Boeing machinists voted Monday to ratify a new contract, ending their seven-week work stoppage. In a statement, the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers union said its members approved to ratify the contract by 59%. Workers can return to work as early as the first shift Wednesday, it said. "Working people know what it's like when a company overreaches and takes away more than is fair," Jon Holden, president of IAM District 751, and Brandon Bryant, president of IAM District W24, said in a joint statement. "Through this strike and the resulting victory, frontline workers at Boeing have done their part to begin rebalancing

The Fat Lady has not sung yet, and it’s not over till it’s over, but Donald Trump stands a very good chance of being reelected as president of the United States on Tuesday. If he succeeds in winning back his old job, he will pick up the phone the first day and call… the president of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum. And it won’t just be to chit-chat and trade niceties—Trump said he will inform her that he will immediately impose massive tariffs unless she does her part to stop the flow of illegal immigrants and drugs into the U.S. 'I haven't met her, and I'm going to inform her

If Vice President Kamala Harris loses the election, several Democrat officials believe that President Joe Biden will be to blame, a new Politico Playbook report revealed. After speaking with Democrat insiders, the outlet stated, “If Harris loses, it’ll be because… she took the reins too late.” “Already, most Democratic officials we’ve spoken to agree: If anyone should get the blame for a Trump win, it’s Biden,” Washington, DC, correspondents Rachel Bade and Eugene Daniels wrote Monday.

A Trump campaign memo released Monday said Democrats are facing a “massive turnout deficit” in every single battleground state, with former President Donald Trump and Republicans outperforming past elections in absentee ballots and early votes cast. Meanwhile, it said there is an uptick in rural turnout. The memo, from Grassroots Targeting’s chief data consultant Tim Saler, said: With Early Voting closed and Election Day on the horizon, Democrats are facing a massive turnout deficit. In every single battleground state, we see President Trump and Republicans outperforming elections past in absentee ballots and early votes cast.

We are a night away from Election Day and the early vote totals show Pennsylvania Democrats are nowhere near as enthused as they were in 2020. Republican enthusiasm to vote early is, however, matching 2020 levels. According to the latest numbers dropped by the state of Pennsylvania, 997,450 Democrats have voted early compared to 578,546 Republicans. That gives Democrats a vote lead of 409,904. That might sound great for Democrats, but it’s not. In 2020, we are told Joe Biden defeated former President Trump by 1.2 points or roughly 81,000 votes in Pennsylvania

Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump have tied with three votes each in the tiny New Hampshire township of Dixville Notch, kicking off Election Day in one of the first places in the country to report its presidential preference. The unincorporated township, located along the US-Canada border in New Hampshire’s northern tip, opened and closed its poll just after midnight ET in a tradition that dates back to 1960. Four Republicans and two undeclared voters participated. While Dixville Notch isn’t always predictive of the eventual winner – or even the state’s pick – its annual production, despite a dwindling population,
