Republican Rep. Jim Banks won the open Indiana Senate seat, beating Democrat Valerie McCray, a clinical psychologist, according to Fox News and The Associated Press. “Only in America can a kid like me, who grew up in a trailer park in Columbia City and was the first in my family to go to college, go on to become a United States senator,” Banks said in a statement shared with The Daily Signal. “As your next senator, I will fight every day to protect that American dream for the next generation.” Banks currently represents northeastern Indiana’s 3rd Congressional District. He decided to forgo another House term to run for the Senate seat vacated by Republican Sen. Mike Braun, who is running for governor. Banks is a supporter of former President Donald Trump. He has been outspoken on “culture war” issues, such as abortion and transgenderism. Banks demanded on Sept. 19 that the individual responsible for the military training that portrayed pro-life Americans as terrorists be held accountable. The Indiana lawmaker has addressed training sessions given to service members on the North Carolina military base Fort Liberty from 2017 to a few months ago that characterized pro-life organizations as “terrorist groups.” “The training labeled several prominent and well-respected pro-life groups, that count millions of everyday Americans as members, as violent extremists,” Banks said disapprovingly in the opening statement of a hearing. As the chairman of the Anti-Woke Caucus, he sent a letter on July 30 calling on Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra to clarify the stance of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris’ administration regarding irreversible gender-transition surgeries for kids.  “We need true conservative fighters in Washington who are not afraid to cut reckless spending and fight to secure our border and end the Democrats’ border crisis,” Banks’ statement says. “I got in this race to champion working Hoosier families and put Indiana first, and that’s what I plan to do on Day One in the United States Senate.” “I am grateful for the support of my family and the support I’ve had from Hoosiers across the state. I owe this victory to all who contributed to it,” he continued. The post From Trailer Park to US Senate: Republican Jim Banks Wins Indiana Seat appeared first on The Daily Signal.

Election lawyer J. Christian Adams said he had a brief encounter on Election Day with Michigan’s Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, a Democrat, who his organization has sued over voter roll maintenance regarding the names of more than 25,000 dead people.   Adams is president of the Public Interest Legal Foundation, an election integrity watchdog group.  “She’s doing a tour of the state with a Washington Post reporter, which I’m sure is a team effort,” Adams told The Daily Signal in a phone interview on Hamtramck, Michigan. The Public Interest Legal Foundation sued Michigan over Benson’s refusal to remove the names of 26,000 dead people from voter registration lists. Of those, almost 4,000 had been dead for over two decades; 17,479 were dead for more than a decade; 23,663 had been dead for at least five years.  The encounter between the two was friendly, Adams said.  “She is no slouch. She has class even if she is not a good secretary of state,” Adams continued.  We ran into @MichSoS @JocelynBenson as we were poll-watching in Hamtramck, MI. Perhaps she was looking for one of the 25,000 deceased registrants on the state’s voter roll? More likely it was to dance at the polls to celebrate an utterly perfectly run election as the… https://t.co/wiVaxj9QBS— PublicInterestLegal (@PILFoundation) November 5, 2024 Adams said he did not bring up the lawsuit or the names of the deceased on voter rolls.   Neither Benson’s office or Washington Post immediately responded to emails for comment. The legal foundation sent a team election lawyers to Michigan to observe that local election officials in the state comply with federal and state election laws.  The foundation’s poll observers will memorialize compliance with election laws, Adams said. When the federal lawsuit over the voter rolls was first filed in late 2021, Jake Rollow, the office’s chief of external affairs, told The Daily Signal in an email: “Michigan maintains its voter registration list in accordance with all state and federal laws, including provisions for deceased voters. We have not yet seen such a lawsuit and cannot comment.” The post Amid Lawsuit Over Dead Names on Voter Rolls, Here’s What Happens When Election Watchdog Meets Michigan’s Secretary of State appeared first on The Daily Signal.

For all intents and purposes Vice President Harris was the incumbent in 2024’s presidential election. So when CNN’s Tuesday night exit polling showed 72 percent of voters thought the country was on the wrong track, it wasn’t a good sign. And when Republican commentator David Urban pointed out that fact to the largely anti-Trump panel, they erupted in outrage and jumped down this throat. “Listen, 72 percent of Americans think we're on the wrong track? That's devastating, devastating for this campaign. Devastating,” Urban said. “Trump's approval rating going into this election is the highest it's been, retrospectively, Americans think more favorably of him today than they ever did during his entire presidency.” Liberal commentator and former Obama adviser David Axelrod and faux conservative Alyssa Farah Griffin from The View started shouting over Urban: AXELROD: Then why is the race tied, Dave?! URBAN: Dave, I don't -- AXELROD: Explain why the race is tied! URBAN: I can't explain it. But these numbers and the economy -- AXELROD: The race is tied -- URBAN: No, no. You're talking about the economy. Right? People – It's nice to worry about the democracy, but if you can't pay for your food -- ALYSSA FARAH GRIFFIN: Oh, I totally agree. [Crosstalk] URBAN: - wrong track - AXELROD: I agree with that. I agree with that. And that's why she's spent so much time talking about it. FARAH GRIFFIN: She closed talking about the economy, not even saying his name. He was talking about Van Jones, among other things.     "Listen, I'm wrapping myself in this poll. Look at this. I’m just going to hold on to this tightly right now. This is great news for the Trump campaign! This is great news for the Trump campaign!” Urban mocked them. “We’ll see what you're wrapping yourself with it at the end of the night,” Axelrod huffed in response. Far-left activist Van Jones quipped that “This is what happens when they give us caffeine at the break.” After some laughs, Jones went on to suggest that a formidable portion of those who said the country was on the wrong track were talking about former President Trump: Listen, I do see it differently than you do. People are angry and people are dissatisfied, in large part because Donald Trump has created an environment that is so toxic for people. You have people who are literally afraid of whatever happens in this election. There are people who are afraid that if he wins, he's going to do bad stuff to them. And they’re afraid if he loses, his supporters might hurt them. “So, people's dissatisfaction with the status quo includes dissatisfaction and anger at Donald Trump,” he said. Urban countered by noting that many people can’t afford to fix their cars. “That right track/wrong track is so bad, because when the check engine comes on in their car, they get pissed off, because they can't pay for it. That's why they're dissatisfied, that’s why they’re angry,” he argued. The transcript is below.

And they’re afraid if he loses, his supporters might hurt them. That is a part of this overall – So, people's dissatisfaction with the status quo includes dissatisfaction and anger at Donald Trump. URBAN: I think. Listen, Van. You said this before. You said this, so I’m going to steal your own line. JONES: Please do. URBAN: People are dissatisfied. That right track/wrong track is so bad, because when the check engine comes on in their car, they get pissed off, because they can't pay for it. That's why they're dissatisfied, that’s why they’re angry. [Crosstalk] JONES: Two different things could be true. [Crosstalk] AXELROD: Can I just make a point about this? I think the brilliance of the way Harris finished this campaign is, she attached Trump's character issues. The fact that he's absorbed with himself, focused on vengeance, and she really asked the question, who's going to wake up every day trying to address the problems you care about? That guy or me? And I think she's made some progress doing it. (…)

Joe Rogan’s interview with JD Vance continues to rack up views. It’s raw, honest, and real — everything that the Kamala Harris campaign is not. One subject the duo covered in their over three-hour interview was the left’s hypocritical response to the looming issue of Americans’ declining health. Dave Rubin and Dr. Phil react to the clip where JD Vance explains his not-at-all weird viewpoint on the importance of what RFK Jr. is doing for the Trump campaign. “I’ve seen, like, people on the left that are trying to dismiss a lot of the things that he says about additives in food, about atrazine, fluoride in the water. All these different things because now they're connecting not having toxins in your food with a right-wing idea.""It's crazy," JD Vance agreed. "It's mind-blowing.""It's so bananas!" Rogan exclaimed. “Even fitness – they’re connecting fitness with a right-wing idea,” he added. “One of my sort of core political beliefs is that our politics is focused on fake s**t and distractions to distract us from the real stuff,” said Vance. “It's interesting that the environmental movement in America, the only thing that it talks about is the carbon footprint and it never talks about like why do we have the highest rates of obesity in the world right now? Why is it that American kids spend less time outdoors in nature than they ever have in the history of our 250 years civilization?” Vance asked. Vance then recalled an incident in his native state of Ohio where a chemical explosion put all kinds of toxins and pollutants into the water. “The environmental movement almost could not have cared less about a chemical explosion in rural Ohio that was potentially poisoning thousands of people, but they were really, really concerned about the carbon footprint of those same people,” he told Rogan, “I’m sick of the distraction. I think we should focus on the real stuff.” Dr. Phil, who’s spoken with RFK Jr. both on and off camera, thinks highly of him. “We truly do have the ability to change the health of America, and we can do it in a generation because the actual ingredients in the food that we're eating research tells us very strongly that this changed back in the late '80s and early '90s, and chronic diseases in children just skyrocketed to the point that we're now spending more money on managing chronic disease than I think our defense budget.” To hear more of the conversation, watch the clip above.
