Why have I plus anyone I know been asked to vote in a poll? I don't trust polls because of this.😢

[jalenstimes]

If it's that close, then Trump's lead must be more like 75 to 25

[AllAmericanDad]

Hannibal Lecter called the Orange Fool today. He wanted to tell him in person that he will vote for Kamala. Then he invited him over for dinner after the election.

The vast majority of people who have listened to Forbes Breaking News will be voting for Trump and nothing in heaven or earth will change that. Recent differences of tone from Forbes are telling but will change few people's minds.

The family members told CNN that the approach should include the US seeking new pressure points on Hamas and its sponsor Iran, as well as on other nations with potential influence, like Egypt, Turkey and Qatar, the Gulf state which hosts Hamas officials and has helped facilitate negotiations.

Incentives, such as trade deals, sanctions relief and international prisoner swaps should also be evaluated, the hostage families told CNN, similar to recent deals agreed between Washington and Moscow to free US citizens such as Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich and US basketball star Brittney Griner.

While her 2020 presidential campaign barely registered – she ended her campaign in December 2019, before the first primary votes were cast – Harris did leave a mark in one important way. On the primary debate stage in June 2019, before she was his running mate or he was anywhere near the White House, Harris eviscerated Joe Biden, attacking him on his past praise of men like the late Sens. Strom Thurmond of South Carolina and John Stennis of Mississippi, “who built their reputations and career on the segregation of race in this country.”

Harris has, no doubt, spent her debate prep time working on material to use against her rival this year. She and Trump are set to meet for the first time and debate Tuesday night in the key state of Pennsylvania. ABC News is broadcasting the event.

Unlike with Biden, Harris won’t have to go back to the 1970s to come up with lines of attack. She can look to his criminal conviction in New York, his liability in a sex abuse and defamation case, his nationalist policies, his unfounded claims about election fraud – for which there is no evidence – or his outrageous pledge to jail election officials.

But, also during that 2019 debate, Harris was criticized by former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard about her record as a prosecutor. Gabbard argued that Harris was too hard on marijuana offenders and had other criticisms of her time as a prosecutor.

Gabbard has reportedly helped Trump with his own debate prep, and Trump will want to paint Harris as to the left of the American mainstream – someone who changed her positions for political expediency in 2019 and has now changed them again to run for president.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will be on the ballot in Michigan, the state’s highest court ruled on Monday, despite Kennedy pushing to have his name removed after the former presidential candidate ended his campaign and endorsed former President Donald Trump.

The court said its majority opinion that Kennedy “has not shown an entitlement to this extraordinary relief” after seeking to have his name removed from the ballot, reversing a Michigan Court of Appeals decision to take him off the ballot on Friday after an appeal from the Michigan secretary of state.

Kennedy had qualified for Michigan’s ballot after being nominated by the Natural Law Party, a minor party with ballot access in the state. In a concurring opinion, Michigan Supreme Court Justice Elizabeth Welch cited Natural Law Party chair Doug Dern’s opposition to Kennedy’s withdrawal four months after his party nominated Kennedy as part of her basis for concluding Kennedy did not have a “clear right” to be removed from the state’s ballot.
