So, it’s down to the wire. According to the latest RealClearPolitics polling average, Donald Trump is up in national polling — by 0.1%. In Georgia, he’s leading by 2.3%; in North Carolina, by 1.5%; in Pennsylvania, by 0.3%; in Arizona, by 2.6%; in Nevada, by 1%. Meanwhile, according to that same average, Harris is leading in Michigan by 0.6% and in Wisconsin by 0.3%. Suffice it to say, every single one of these battleground states is well within the margin of error — meaning that a significant polling error in Trump’s favor turns the election into a blowout for him, and a significant polling error in Harris’ direction turns it into a blowout for her.  According to Atlas Intel, Trump is currently leading in all the swing states; according to New York Times/Siena, Trump is behind in Nevada, but ahead in Arizona, and all the other swing states are essentially dead even, with Harris up slightly in Georgia, Wisconsin, and North Carolina. The bottom line: Nobody knows anything. As Nate Cohn of the New York Times points out, “Across these final polls, white Democrats were 16 percent likelier to respond than white Republicans. That’s a larger disparity than our earlier polls this year, and it’s not much better than our final polls in 2020 — even with the pandemic over. It raises the possibility that the polls could underestimate Mr. Trump yet again.” The early votes tell us … pretty much nothing. They show that the Republicans have done a far better job than in 2020 of getting out the early vote, but those may be high-propensity voters who were going to vote for Trump anyway. Meanwhile, female voters are, indeed, showing up in droves — but the same story applies. Everyone is now attempting to read chicken entrails. So when Ann Selzer, widely-respected as one of the best pollsters in the country, came out with a shocking poll on Saturday that had Kamala Harris leading Trump in Iowa by three points, Democrats erupted into spasms of ecstasy. At last, here was the evidence that Trump is finally going to be subdued, and Harris will emerge victorious! But, of course, it’s not quite that simple. The poll is pretty clearly an outlier. Emerson has Trump up nearly 10 points in the state right now. And Iowa is a Republican state at this point: The Republican Party has an advantage in registered voters over the Democratic Party of some 173,000 voters. Bottom line: We should take the Iowa poll with a grain of salt. As Nate Silver says, “Releasing this poll took an incredible amount of guts because — let me state this as carefully as I can — if you had to play the odds, this time Selzer will probably be wrong.” So, here’s the bottom line: Stop reading chicken entrails and GO VOTE NOW. On Friday, I voted early. And I voted, of course, for Donald Trump. WATCH: Election Wire LIVE on DailyWire+ Now, for the final time, let me explain why. I want to explain why I voted for Trump not to the ardent Trump voter — you already know the case for Trump, obviously. And I’m not explaining it to the person who believes Trump is a Hitlerian menace — if you believe that, nothing I say can reconnect you to reality. I’m addressing people who might have hold-ups about Trump on character but like his policy; people who think that Kamala Harris is a “change” candidate; people who are worried about the supposed “threat” to institutions from Trump, but aren’t crazy enough to stay up nights worrying about concentration camps or boxcars from a second Trump administration.  For all of you who are wavering, I think it’s necessary to explain my reasoning. After all, I went from someone who didn’t vote for either Trump or Hillary in 2016 — my first time abstaining from a presidential vote ever because I felt both were unfit — to voting for Trump in 2020; to voting for, campaigning with, and giving money to Donald Trump in 2024. There are essentially three reasons I support Donald Trump: The first is Donald Trump, the second is Kamala Harris, and the third is the institutions. TRUMP Let me begin by acknowledging many of the concerns of those of you who are hesitant about Donald Trump. As you know from listening to the show consistently, I don’t like a lot of the things Trump says. I’m not in love with his statements on TruthSocial about various controversies of the day. (I’m not voting because I care about his hot take on Taylor Swift.) I’m not big on the bulls******ry that Trump often bandies about with regard to topics large and small. I think the evidence is skimpy that there is widespread pet barbecuing in Springfield. But here’s the thing about Trump: Underlying a lot of the bulls*****ry is truth. Trump speaks in superlatives. He exaggerates for effect. He tells stories he’s half heard, and then repeats them in inflated fashion. But he’s generally right on the central point: Illegal immigration is out of control; the regulatory and tax regime of the Biden/Harris administration has generated historic inflation and burdened America with a future of economic stagnation; Biden and Harris are unprecedentedly cowardly and weak on foreign policy. And here’s the biggest thing: I’m not voting for Trump because I need a moral exemplar. I’m not a child. I’m an adult voter, and I have plenty of people I use as moral guides and sounding boards: my parents, members of my community, philosophers and thinkers. To me, politicians aren’t gods or great leaders — at least, not very often. They’re plumbers. The question is whether they’ll fix the toilet. Donald Trump fixes the toilet. Kamala Harris throws a cherry bomb in it. We don’t have to speculate about this. We know it’s true. Donald Trump has already been president. And he was a hell of a lot better than Kamala Harris has been as vice president. So let’s talk policy. Anti-Wokeness: Beginning with general governing worldview, Trump believes that America’s founding principles are great. He doesn’t believe that America was built on racism, sexism, bigotry, and homophobia. He believes that America is a land of opportunity for everyone — and that it should be. He doesn’t identify winning with exploitation or losing with victimhood. He doesn’t believe in any idiotic oppressor/oppressed matrix by which we can determine, solely based on someone’s failure, whether society has been mean to them. This is actually the great battle of our time. Because, as I will discuss, Harris is a devotee of wokeness: the belief that those who fail are oppressed, and those who succeed are oppressors. And that worldview means incentivizing failure and punishing success in every area of human life. Economic Meritocracy: Donald Trump generally believes in economic meritocracy. Trump is about winning. This, we all know. Like it or hate it, it’s his gauge of success. What that means is that he values merit. He wants an economy where innovators and entrepreneurs like Elon Musk are given the freedom to take us to Mars, not an economy where Kamala Harris’ Department of Justice sues Musk for failure to hire enough refugees or immigrants on new visas. He wants an economy where businesses are worried about creating the best goods, products, and services for the lowest price, not about the dumbest regulations coming from the EPA or the diversity, equity, and inclusion regime of the corporate office. This is why Trump wants lower taxes, less regulation, and more dynamic business as a result. What of his talk about tariffs? Yes, tariffs are generally bad policy. But Trump is transactional; he uses tariffs as a way to cudgel other countries to behave according to the basic rules of the road in international markets. Tariffs, he believes, are a great way of ensuring that countries like China don’t simply dump endless amounts of money into industries that threaten American safety while stealing American technology. And he’s not wrong. This is why Trump had a thriving economy: Wage growth beat inflation by 15%, and inflation grew at just 1.9% per annum. There is a reason people are nostalgic for the Trump economy. Foreign Policy: Because Trump is not a devotee of the evil oppressor/oppressed matrix, he knows that other countries have interests that are not ours. When Trump says “America First,” he doesn’t mean isolationism, as he himself told me; he doesn’t mean Charles Lindbergh or Father Coughlin. He means that America’s interests ought to be first and foremost — and that very often, those interests can be protected by the credible threat of use of force. Trump innately understands deterrence. I’ve told this story before, but it’s worth telling it again: When I held a fundraiser for Trump a few months ago, he told this story. He said: You want to know why Vladimir Putin never invaded Ukraine on my watch? Because I called him and I told him, “Vlad, Vlad, don’t you do it.” And Vlad said, “Why not, Mr. President?” And I said, “Because, Vlad, if you do, I’m gonna bomb the s*** out of you.” And he said, “No, you won’t, Mr. President.” And I said, “Well, I might!” And then Trump turned to me and said, “And you know what? If there’s even a five percent chance that the United States military, the most powerful military in the history of the world, is going to bomb the s*** out of you, you don’t do it.” Trump knew that innately. That’s why the world became far more peaceful under Trump. China, for the first time, saw that perhaps it didn’t have a patsy in Trump, and believe it or not, bipartisan opposition to Chinese aggression grew radically under Trump. Russia didn’t invade Ukraine under Trump, even though it did under Obama and Biden. And, of course, while Obama and Biden radically incentivized the growth of terror by Iran, it was Trump who contained Iran, impoverished it, and brokered the Abraham Accords. Trump gets it.  So that’s the positive case for Trump. Now to the case against Kamala. HARRIS Kamala Harris is not an important figure, in and of herself. She has been an empty vessel her entire political career. She’s quite bad at the game, actually: She couldn’t speak straight to the point if her life depended on it, instead spewing ghastly word vomit that would put the fat kid from the “Stand by Me” pie-eating contest to shame; she vacillates wildly between insane Leftism, as in her 2019 failed presidential campaign, to faux-hawkish tough-on-crime prosecutor, as she’s been trying to do this year. None of it washes. She’s totally insincere, utterly charmless, and terrifically inauthentic. She’s the “Polar Express” of political candidates, inhabiting the uncanny valley full-time. And she’s surrounded herself with other residents of the island of misfit, cloying and uber-irritating tools: Doug Emhoff, her nanny-impregnating, religious Jew-impersonating, ex-girlfriend allegedly slapping husband; Tim Walz, the pretend ultra-man, who pretends to be a gun fanatic but can’t properly load one, who play-acts at being a football coach but can’t even use the terminology properly; and all the rest. Of course, Harris wouldn’t be there if she weren’t just a tool of the Democratic machine. She was put in place in 2020 by Barack Obama and the rest of the Democratic upper echelon, who decided that Joe Biden needed a woman of color on the ticket; then, after failing dramatically as vice president in every job she was given, she was jabbed into the presidential nomination by the same machine, which suddenly realized that Biden’s brain had passed away some years before. She is not joy. She is not brat. She is an empty pantsuit. She always was. But that doesn’t mean she isn’t dangerous. Because, like Joe Biden, she’s actually just an inept weathervane for the Democratic Party as a whole. And that party has embraced the failure and radicalism of its most insane members. Pro-Wokeness: In regards to her worldview, Harris, like Biden before her, has said that “equity” ought to be at the center of all her policies. By equity, of course, she means equality of outcome. She has not been shy about this. She has said it repeatedly, in different contexts, for years. She truly believes that disparities are a result solely of discrimination. This means that any group that underperforms has been exploited by an evil system. The world is a system of oppressors and oppressed, and it is the job of the federal government to rectify those imbalances, both domestically and abroad. For some groups, no evidence need be shown to demonstrate victimization (say, women in the United States, who currently constitute a majority of college graduates) in order for that group to be labeled victimized; historic victimization will do. For others, even evidence of current victimization must be ignored (Asians and Jews), so long as members of those groups are disproportionately successful. This is an evil worldview; it incentivizes failure, it punishes success, and it treats people not as individuals but as members of classes. It is entirely anti-American. It tears Americans apart on the basis of identity. And no, it isn’t going away. She’s trying to hide it, but it’s the essence of her entire campaign, which treats women and men as enemies, ignores hatred of Jews so long as it comes from intersectional communities, and promises endless benefits — including the very redefinition of reality — to “marginalized” groups. Which is how Tim Walz ends up stumping for tampons in the boys’ bathroom. And how the Biden-Harris White House has repeatedly attempted to enshrine racism into law. Economic Redistributionist: Harris’ economic policies are rooted in this worldview, as are the Democratic Party’s as a whole. Thus, as they see it, businesses that are successful are definitionally exploiters; to have their wealth expropriated and spent as Harris and her friends see fit on groups they seek to cultivate then becomes permissible. Regulations are simply ways to establish equality of outcome. Innovators are to be punished as oppressors. “The rich” are seen as a separate class from everyone else, despite the fact that income mobility remains the hallmark of the American economy. The answer to everything: control. Top-down control. Higher taxes, more spending, more regulation. Giveaways, takings, and borrowing: These are the programs of Kamala Harris. That’s why Joe Biden brought about 20% inflation and why inflation outpaced wages. It’s also why even before Biden launched his massive spending initiatives, his White House forecast stagnated growth a decade into the future. That’s not a bug. That’s a feature: equality in stagnation. Foreign Policy Coward: Extended to the realm of foreign policy, the woke ideology means weakness and surrender in the face of foreign predations. It treats muscular and self-confident American defense as a weakness and cowardice as virtue. Harris says she was the last person in the room on Afghanistan — and she probably was. Both she and Biden still brag about the worst foreign policy embarrassment of our lifetimes, in which billions in military equipment was left behind for the Taliban as erstwhile allies were hunted down or fell off wheel wells at Bagram Air Base where 13 American service members were blown up just trying to help innocent civilians escape, and which ended with 19 million women stuffed into burqas in basements and deprived of any hope of a normal or decent life. It was that weakness that led Putin to invade Ukraine — and Biden’s first move was to offer Volodymyr Zelenskyy a plane ride out. Then Biden and team pursued the dumbest foreign policy available: a commitment to unspecified “victory” while slow-walking the actual aid that might attain something resembling it. Meanwhile, the Chinese are on the move, building steadily in the South China Sea, threatening Taiwan, and moving forward with every possible aggressive action short of war. Move to the Middle East, and it’s the same story: Biden alienated the Saudis and Israelis in a misguided attempt to establish moral parity with Iran while simultaneously freeing up billions of dollars to Iran to spread terrorism. All this culminated in the current seven-front war launched on Israel by Iranian proxies, which began October 7. Hamas is still holding American hostages. Yet Biden and Harris have slow-walked aid to the Israelis too, while simultaneously undermining the government of Israel, openly threatening Israel with cut-offs in military shipments if they don’t take Biden-Harris advice on fighting Hamas, Hezbollah, or Iran. And, most of all, Biden and Harris have been total cowards in standing up to the massive tsunami of Jew-hatred that has emerged from their own support base. Instead, Kamala Harris has implied that Israel is committing a genocide and that those protesting American support for Israel have a solid case. Then, there’s the border. Because Kamala Harris believes that America is rooted in xenophobia and racism, she has presided over a wide-open border. There are only two reasons anyone in high office would do this: first, in order to change the voting demographic of the country; second, because they believe the United States somehow owes citizens of other countries residence in America thanks to the guilt of the United States. For Harris, undoubtedly both are true.  INSTITUTIONS Finally, I’m voting for Donald Trump because of the institutions. I know this one seems to boggle minds, thanks to Donald Trump’s legal and public relations maneuvering between November 2020 and January 6, 2021. I saw no evidence of Trump’s contentions at the time, and said so; I thought his statements about Mike Pence’s ability to single-handedly refuse to certify votes was morally and factually wrong. I thought January 6 was wrong too, and tragic (although, to be sure, some of those prosecuted have certainly been overprosecuted). But Donald Trump is not the threat to the institutions of the United States. They survived him, with flying colors. Those who say there was not a peaceful transfer of power in January 2021 are simply lying. There was. That’s why Joe Biden took office without a military operation. It’s why Donald Trump left office as specified. The Constitutional checks and balances held up. And if Trump were to win, those particular checks and balances would never be implicated — specifically because Trump would have won, and thus there would be no further challenge to an election. Democrats have far graver plans for our institutions. They say it openly. And what’s worse, they also plan to uphold the power of institutions that have totally lost their legitimacy. Institutions To Be Preserved Let’s begin with the institutions that must be preserved. Supreme Court: The Supreme Court of the United States remains a bulwark institution in our Constitutional structure, of course. The power of judicial review is embedded in all of our legal structures. It was Democrats who killed the judicial filibuster, then whined when Mitch McConnell did the same in order to confirm Trump’s Supreme Court nominees. It is not the Republicans who threaten the Supreme Court. It is Harris, who has herself pledged to try to pack the courts or institute term limits. The Supreme Court is no longer the plaything of the Left, and so the Left will seek to destroy it. Congress: Then, there’s the Senate. Harris has already said she would kill the filibuster, thus allowing controversial legislation to pass with a bare majority. Presumably, this would include the creation of two new states, Washington D.C. and Puerto Rico, in an attempt to add four new Democratic senators. It would also include ramming through the so-called Equality Act, a grave violation of religious liberty; the John Lewis Voting Rights Act, federalizing election procedures and loosening protections against fraud and ballot harvesting; and other radical pieces of legislation. Meanwhile, it was Democrats who started the process of barring Republican nominees from committee assignments in the House; look for them to continue that practice and exacerbate it. Department of Justice: For all the talk about President Trump attempting to weaponize the DOJ against his enemies, he never truly did. Hillary wasn’t locked up; Joe Biden wasn’t investigated. But Joe Biden has activated the DOJ against Trump. Democrats would certainly use the DOJ to target any political opponent they could, as they have Trump. Of course, that would only be the tip of the iceberg. Barack Obama’s IRS targeted his enemies too. The executive branch is large and powerful — and it is Democrats who have used it against their opponents. Federalism: Harris would also be an ardent opponent of federalism, which divides power between the federal government and the states. Many have worried about the implications of the overruling of Roe v. Wade. But all that did is send the issue of abortion back to the states, where it originally was. Democrats pledge to give the federal government control over abortion and to do the same to nearly every issue. Democrats see federalism as the enemy and want a homogenous rule over all of the country. There are few policies better prone to lead to a breakdown of the union than that. Churches and Families: Then, there are the institutions that matter most: churches and families, what Edmund Burke called the little platoons of society. These are the institutions that build social fabric — the places we make friends and share family, where we build lives together. Harris’ federal government crowds them out. Churches, in this view, so long as they do not become propagandists for the progressive worldview, are barriers to the rule of the elite and must be torn down. They must be targeted with tax law, broken in favor of abortion-on-demand. Families, too, are a danger, as they may, in fact, reinculcate traditional virtue. Thus, federal policy must favor the destruction of families in favor of the values of the National Education Association and its friends: Children must be protected from their parents so that they can emerge from the chrysalis of Left-wing values, full-fledged butterflies of wokeness. This is why Tim Walz’s Minnesota is a sanctuary state for so-called “transgender children”: Parents are the problem. Institutions To Be Wrecked Then, there’s the other side of the coin: the institutions that deserve to be wrecked, but which Kamala Harris would preserve.  Universities: The universities, for example, are the biggest scam in American life. Liberal arts studies have become indoctrination centers for the Left; colleges now teach students to protest their own civilization rather than teaching them to be good citizens. And it is the Left that has encouraged this. It is no coincidence that Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer was recently caught in an email telling the president of Columbia University to ignore Jew-hatred on campus, since only Right-wingers were upset. The universities are the corrupt preserve of the radical Left, and they are the breeding ground for Democratic donors and leaders. They are the engine of wokeness, and they ought to be torn down as they currently stand. Harris wouldn’t just preserve them; she would strengthen them by giving them billions of dollars in student loan bailout money. Legacy Media: Next, of course, there is the legacy media. The legacy media are the tail end of the Democrat-Media Human Centipede; they ingest whatever Democrats tell them and then excrete the digested product onto the American people. That’s how the media spent two years telling us that Joe Biden was mentally competent, only to then flip when embarrassed and tell us he had to go, only to go right back to ignoring his mental decrepitude so as to preserve him in the presidency. Not a day goes by in which the legacy media doesn’t prove to be a stenographer for Democrats. The same simply isn’t true for Republicans: When Republicans are in power, the legacy media hold them to account, and treat them as the enemy. The legacy media must be wrecked by the free market — and that’s happening. But it won’t happen if Harris and her friends work to enshrine their monopolistic dominance by cracking down on the social media platforms that allow alternative media to thrive. And that’s precisely what they plan to do. CONCLUSION I’ve made the case here for Donald Trump and against Kamala Harris. There are good reasons to vote for Trump other than disliking Harris, as I’ve made clear. But here’s the funny thing about this election: very few people think the opposite. Most Democrats believe that voting for Harris is worthwhile not because they can make an affirmative case for Harris; that case is essentially un-makeable. They can only make a case against Trump. And that should worry you. See, here’s the thing: that case is speculative. And back before Donald Trump was president, I might even have agreed with that case: As I’ve said, I didn’t vote for either candidate in 2016. But then he was president. And so I know what his presidency will be: a solid economy, an excellent foreign policy, and a fight against woke ideology that endangers our future. And I know what she will be, too. Because that’s not speculative either. Kamala Harris can’t name a single way she disagreed with Joe Biden. And Biden was a tool of the woke Left. He presided over economic stagnation, foreign policy collapse, and the continued fraying of our social compact. She would do the same. Which is why you should ignore all the alarmists. There is no mystery to this election. We know what Trump 2 would look like: Trump 1. And we know what Harris would look like: Biden 2. That’s the call. That’s the whole thing. So you don’t have to love Donald Trump. Hell, you don’t even have to like Donald Trump. But you do need someone to fix the problems that plague the country, not exacerbate them. And that man is Donald Trump. Which is why I voted for him, and I hope you will too.

The Trump campaign released its closing message in an ad on Monday as the 2024 election cycle comes to a close. The ad comes as polling shows that the race between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris is very close and will likely come down to a handful of swing states. “Nothing worth doing ever came easy,” Trump says at the start of the video, which was a little over two minutes long. “Treat the word ‘impossible’ as nothing more than motivation,” he said. “Never, ever quit. Never quit. Adversity makes you stronger. Don’t give in. Don’t back down, and never stop doing what you know is right.” “They want to take away my freedom, because I will never let them take away your freedoms,” he continued. “They’re not coming after me. They’re coming after you and I just happened to be standing in their way.” The ad then cuts to vice presidential nominee JD Vance talking about the adversity that Trump has faced over the last few years: JD: When they couldn’t beat him. They tried to bankrupt him. News: President Trump is back in the New York City courtroom. JD: When that didn’t work, they tried to put him in federal prison. News: Raided by the FBI. JD: When that didn’t work, they even tried to kill him. News: They just tried to kill President Trump. JD: Donald Trump still stands ready to fight, ready to win, and ready to Make America Great Again. Hulk Hogan’s appearance at Trump’s rally at Madison Square Garden from late last month is featured. “This is Donald Trump’s house, brother,” Hogan says. MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+ Dana White, CEO of Ultimate Fighting Championship, then says: “This election, we all get to choose.” “I’m gonna choose real American leadership and a real American badass,” White says. “The 45th and soon to be 47th president, Donald J. Trump.” Trump closes out the final moments of the ad, highlighting the agenda that he will enact if he wins. “Starting on day one, we will defeat inflation quickly, and we will make America affordable again,” he said. “I will cut your energy costs in half. It’s time for the working man and woman to finally catch a break. We are going to bring back the American dream, bigger, better, and stronger than ever.” “When I’m back in the White House, we will restore world peace, and it will be again peace through strength,” he continued. “I will launch the largest deportation program in American history, and we’ll put these vicious and bloodthirsty criminals in jail or kick them the hell out of our country.” “November 5, 2024 it will be Liberation Day in America,” he concluded. “We all salute the same great American flag.

With just one day until the 2024 presidential election, another Democrat is flip-flopping on support for trans-identifying men in women’s sports. In a new ad, Pennsylvania Senator Bob Casey accuses Republican opponent Dave McCormick of lying about Casey’s well-documented record on LGBTQ issues. “Dave McCormick and his billionaire backers think they can fool you about anything,” the ad says. “The truth? Bob Casey’s not for men and girls’ sports.” But as The Daily Wire reported, Casey has a long history of fighting for men in women’s sports. He co-sponsored the Equality Act, legislation that would have allowed men who identify as women into female locker rooms, prisons, shelters, and more. He has expressed support for child gender transitions and called Republicans “extreme” for objecting to men in women’s spaces. Casey is one of several Democrats who have reversed their position on transgender issues during this election cycle as more and more Americans voice their displeasure with the increasingly radical LGBTQ policies pushed by leftist activists. In Texas and Alaska, Colin Allred and Mary Peltola both are backing away from their former votes and stances on the topic. Casey, who is supported by the far-left Human Rights Campaign and GLAAD, did not immediately respond to requests for comment from The Daily Wire. A final Emerson College Polling/The Hill survey released Monday found Casey and McCormick tied ahead of election day: each candidate has 47% of the vote, the poll found, with 6% of voters undecided. When the NCAA announced it was pulling its 2016-17 neutral-site games from North Carolina over legislation banning trans-identifying males from women’s bathrooms and locker rooms, Casey actually invited the NCAA to Pennsylvania, writing in a September 2016 letter to the president of the NCAA: “Pennsylvania is proud of its diversity across the Commonwealth.” (Michael M. Santiago/Getty Images) “We strive to achieve equality for the people who both reside and visit the Commonwealth regardless of race, gender, religion, sexual orientation or sexual identification,” he wrote. “I certainly wish it was a letter nobody had to write,” Casey told Philadelphia Gay News during this same time period. “If the state government in North Carolina had done the right thing, nobody would have to write a letter suggesting alternate locations.” He also described Pennsylvania as “more tolerant and more accepting than what the state government in North Carolina displayed.” Casey has also called Republicans “extreme” for focusing on males in women’s spaces. “No one should fear for their safety because of the gender with which they identify,” he tweeted in August 2020, referring to an article on the beating of a trans-identifying man. “Yet some extreme Republican politicians care more about what bathrooms transgender people use, or what sports team they play on, than they do about violence against transgender women of color.” The Daily Caller News Foundation first reported a June 2023 letter from Casey expressing support for “young adult” transgender transition attempts, in which he argued that concerns about males in women’s sports were based on “overgeneralized” and “unfounded assumptions.” “The decision to transition is a profoundly significant and challenging one that young adults make after careful consideration,” Casey wrote, according to the Daily Caller. “This is a conclusion that young adults reach after extensive consultation with their medical providers and loved ones, and with the knowledge of the tremendous social obstacles that unfortunately lie ahead.”

Former President Donald Trump’s record and stated policies make him “clearly the better choice” this election, according to former UN ambassador Nikki Haley. Haley made her closing pitch for Trump over Vice President Kamala Harris in an op-ed in The Wall Street Journal published on Sunday. Haley unsuccessfully challenged Trump for the Republican nomination this cycle and was a vocal critic of him on the Right, but described her endorsement of Trump an “easy call.” “I don’t agree with Mr. Trump 100% of the time. But I do agree with him most of the time, and I disagree with Ms. Harris nearly all the time,” she wrote. Voters need to consider their welfare under Trump versus four years of the Biden-Harris administration, according to Haley. She mentioned the cost of living, the national debt, and national security, pointing out that each issue fared worse under the Biden-Harris administration than under Trump. MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+ A second Trump term “wouldn’t be perfect,” Haley conceded, “[b]ut I agree with Mr. Trump that we need to keep taxes low and cut them more. I agree that we need to roll back trillions of dollars in special-interest handouts. I agree that we need to expand American energy to empower our families and job creators while making us less dependent on foreign energy.” Haley said that the question that voters should think about is not whether they agree with Trump on every issue. “No politician gets everything right,” she said. “For those of us clear-eyed enough to see Mr. Trump’s flaws and honest enough to acknowledge them, the question is whether we’re better off with his policies or his opponent’s. On taxes, spending, inflation, immigration, energy and national security, the candidates are miles apart. And Mr. Trump is clearly the better choice.” Haley endorsed Trump in a speech at the Republican National Convention in July, smoothing over the rift that had developed between the two during a bruising Republican primary. Haley previously served in Trump’s administration as the ambassador to the United Nations but fell out with the former president, criticizing him over his actions on January 6, 2021.

Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign is running two sets of ads on the Israel-Gaza conflict – and what ad voters see depends on where they live. Jewish voters in Pennsylvania see an ad claiming Harris will “stand up for Israel’s right to defend itself,” CNN reported, while Arab voters in Michigan will see an ad claiming Harris “will not be silent about the human suffering occurring in Gaza.” The mixed messaging highlights the struggle Harris and Democrats have in attempting to court the pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel wing of their party – like the anti-Israel protesters on college campuses – and Jewish voters. In Facebook ads targeting voters in Pennsylvania, a clip of Harris’ speech at the Democratic National Committee is featured. “And let me be clear,” Harris says. “I will always stand up for Israel’s right to defend itself, and I will always ensure Israel has the ability to defend itself, because the people of Israel must never again face the horror that a terrorist organization called Hamas caused on October 7, including unspeakable sexual violence and the massacre of young people at a music festival.” “And know this: I will never hesitate to take whatever action is necessary to defend our forces and our interests against Iran and Iran-backed terrorists,” she adds. As CNN noted, the ad doesn’t include two paragraphs from Harris’ speech – taken from between the two featured lines – where she calls the “suffering” in Gaza “heartbreaking.” The ad ignores the belief held by many critics that Harris passed over Pennsylvania Democratic Gov. Josh Shapiro for her vice presidential nominee because he is Jewish and pro-Israel. MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+ Facebook ads targeting voters in Michigan feature Harris’ other speeches, where she had expressed sympathy for those in Gaza. “What has happened in Gaza over the past nine months is devastating,” Harris says in the ad. “Our common humanity compels us to act,” she says at another point in the ad. Harris is attempting to court a dangerous sect of left-wing protesters, hundreds of whom spent the past year on college campuses defending the terrorist groups Hamas and Hezbollah. As The Daily Wire previously reported, the Ivy League colleges that have coddled these students have seen sharp drops in donations. At Harvard, the university’s endowment dropped by $151 million – 14% – in fiscal year 2024 following ongoing anti-Israel protests that have turned off several billionaire donors. Columbia University also saw a major backlash during its annual “Giving Day,” where donations dropped nearly 30% after the school allowed anti-Israel protests to linger on campus, The Daily Wire reported . For the first time, the university experienced a massive drop in donations after pausing the event in 2023 following the Hamas terrorist attacks on Israel on October 7, 2023, the Columbia Spectator reported. Since resuming the event, the school has had a nearly 30% drop in donations.

Voters in storm-ravaged western North Carolina counties showed up to vote early at a higher rate than the statewide average, assuaging fears that Hurricane Helene’s destruction on the area, which is heavily Republican, would negatively affect turnout. Early voting turnout in North Carolina set a record this year as more than 4.2 million people cast their ballots at early in-person locations before Election Day, according to the State Board of Elections, The Hill reported. The board added that the 25 counties affected by Helene saw a higher early voter turnout — 58.9% — than the statewide turnout, which was around 57%. “I am proud of all of our 100 county boards of elections and the thousands of election workers who are making this happen in their communities,” said Executive Director of the State Board of Election Karen Brinson Bell. “And I am especially proud of the workers and voters of Western North Carolina. You are an inspiration to us all.” Including absentee voting, North Carolina reported receiving nearly 4.5 million early votes as of Sunday morning. Early in-person voting in the state ended on Saturday afternoon. As of last Thursday, registered Republicans held a slight lead in total early votes cast in North Carolina, an important battleground state in the 2024 election. Unaffiliated voters surpassed registered Republicans in the final early vote tally, but Republicans beat out registered Democrats by over 40,000 early votes, DecisionDeskHQ’s Michael Pruser reported. North Carolina Early Voting Final Update – 11.03 The state wrapped up its 17-day early voting period, and the current tally of 4.44 million votes represents roughly 80% of the expected electorate. ?Others – 1,524,456?Republicans – 1,478,746?Democrats – 1,437,281 Others… pic.twitter.com/jGn8j7Gz9U — Michael Pruser (@MichaelPruser) November 3, 2024 While the early voting numbers aren’t necessarily accurate predictions of who will win the state, they suggest that Republicans are off to a good start in North Carolina. Pruser added that Democrats could see an uptick in votes as absentee ballots continue to “roll in over the next three days,” but he said that among Election Day voters, “we’ll likely see an ever-so-slightly whiter, more Republican, and more male vote than the first 4.44 million voters.” MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+ Both former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris have campaigned heavily in North Carolina in recent weeks as polls show a dead-heat between the two candidates. Trump won the state in both 2016 and 2020. Bell said on Friday that officials in North Carolina are optimistic that all final results would be submitted by around midnight on Election Day.

A new ad urges male Trump supporters to secretly vote for Kamala Harris, reassuring them that “no one will ever know,” has been mocked online since its release. “Come on boys. Let’s make America great again,” one man in the ad says to his bearded friend as they head into a polling location.  “Before you cast your vote in this election, think about how it’ll impact the people you care about the most,” the voiceover says as the camera cuts to one voter’s phone lock screen, which features a photo of his family.  The ad next cuts to a little girl across the room yelling, “Daddy!”  The bearded man then catches eyes with the other man across from him and fills in the bubble for Harris/Walz.  “Remember, you can vote any way you want, and no one will ever know,” the voiceover says.  “Did you do your patriotic duty?” the voter’s friend asks, to which the bearded voter replies, “You bet I did, brother,” as he lifts the little girl into his arms.  “What happens in the booth, stays in the booth,” the voiceover concludes. It’s time to put your love of your family over your love of Trump. No one has to know what you do in the voting booth. #liberal #progressive #progessivechristianity #voteblue #HarrisForPotus2024 pic.twitter.com/LFdyho2nTQ — Vote Common Good (@VoteCommon) October 30, 2024 The reactions to the video posted on X were filled with mockery for the overall tone and messaging. MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+ “At least you’re conceding that it’s embarrassing to vote for Harris,” one commenter wrote. “‘Nobody has to know’ is a wild slogan. Let’s see if it pays off,” another person agreed. “The cringe level is high in this one,” a third comment said.  The ad campaign comes courtesy of the organization Vote Common Good, which exists to drive Evangelical and Catholic voters away from the Republican Party. This is the same organization that made headlines last week for an ad that encouraged wives of Trump supporters to secretly vote for Harris, as The Daily Wire previously reported. “In the one place in America where women still have a right to choose, you can vote any way you want and no one will ever know,” the voice of Julia Roberts says in that ad targeting women.

X owner Elon Musk predicted that former President Donald Trump would emerge victorious this week against Vice President Kamala Harris. The prediction comes as Musk has given significant resources to help boost Trump in the election, has spoken at rallies with the former president, and has campaigned for him in swing states. “Last election, I didn’t know a single independent/swing voter who was voting for Trump,” Musk began. “This time, I don’t know anyone who isn’t,” he said. “And one person after another has confided in me that they’re voting for Trump, but they’re afraid to say so publicly, because it will affect their friends/job/customers.” MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+ “Crushing defeat is coming for the oppressive big government machine represented by the Kamala puppet,” he added. Last election, I didn’t know a single independent/swing voter who was voting for Trump. This time, I don’t know anyone who isn’t. And one person after another has confided in me that they’re voting for Trump, but they’re afraid to say so publicly, because it will affect their… https://t.co/e5pxKDjd36 — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) November 4, 2024 Musk has given at least $132 million to boost Trump and other Republicans during the election, including more than $50 million in the final weeks. Musk’s donations have helped offset major contributions from Democrat billionaires like Bill Gates and Michael Bloomberg, who have each given $50 million to boost Harris. Trump has said that if he wins, he will put Musk in charge of a new government efficiency commission that will cut wasteful spending as the national debt continues to explode. Musk has repeatedly warned about what will happen to the country if Trump does not win the election. “Unless @realDonaldTrump wins, this will be the last election,” Musk said on Sunday. “The Dems will legalize all the illegals in swing states, so there [will] be no more swing states.” “America will become a one-party, deep blue socialist state,” he added.

Vice President Kamala Harris entered the presidential race late and seemingly hoped to avoid scrutiny of her past positions. Without publicly disavowing her past positions on unpopular policies like banning fracking or mandatory gun buybacks, her aides insisted to media outlets that she had changed her mind on these issues. This is despite the fact that Harris herself said her “values have not changed.” But there is another list of issues that neither Harris nor her team have said she still supports. Typically Left-leaning outlet Axios published a list of such policies on Sunday, noting that “Harris is the ‘no comment’ candidate — purposely and strategically. She has calculated that it’s safer to be vague on policy matters than lampooned as a flip-flopper or left-winger.” Of course, that means voters who support her don’t have any actual clue what she actually supports – and that’s the way Harris and her campaign want it. Here’s the list of things Harris has supported in the past but has refused to say whether she still supports, per Axios: Executive actions to unilaterally give a path to citizenship to 2 million “Dreamers” — undocumented immigrants brought to the U.S. as children. Ending the death penalty on the federal level. Harris has opposed capital punishment since 2003. A mandate for automakers to only build electric or hydrogen vehicles by 2035. Executive actions to protect more than 6 million undocumented immigrants from deportation by expanding “deferred action” guidelines. Decriminalizing prostitution (“We can’t criminalize consensual behavior as long as no one is being harmed,” Harris said in 2019). Closing private, for-profit prisons, which she called “morally wrong.” Getting rid of the Senate filibuster in order to pass multitrillion-dollar Green New Deal legislation. In addition, Harris’ campaign wouldn’t tell CNN where she stood on two additional issues she held in 2019 during her first run for president: “Federal prisoners and detained immigrants obtaining taxpayer-funded gender transition surgeries” and “an open-ended pledge to ‘end’ immigration detention.” MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+ Axios also asked the Harris campaign if she still supported the following past positions, but the campaign declined to comment: Provide reparations to Black Americans because of slavery. Support for “sanctuary cities” that provide safety and refuge for undocumented immigrants. Restore voting rights for all former prisoners. Renegotiate international refugee rules to provide protections for people displaced by climate change and welcome them to the U.S. Install a climate envoy in every major embassy around the world. Issue national protections for 30% of the land and sea areas in the U.S. by 2030, which would limit drilling. Harris’ refusal to say where she is on certain issues has allowed former President Donald Trump’s campaign to tie her to President Joe Biden, whom Harris replaced as the Democratic nominee. Biden is increasingly unpopular, and Harris has said she couldn’t think of anything she would have done differently than Biden.

As a parent, there are certain situations you can’t help but fear. One of those happened to Stephanie George recently. On Saturday, she and her 7-year-old son were enjoying a normal evening together. Because Sebastian has a rare genetic condition called Cornelia de Lange syndrome, he eats through a feeding tube. Normally, he experiences little to no issues. But on that night, something went wrong. Turns out, a piece of chicken did not get blended well enough for the 7-year-old. As a result, the food got lodged in his throat. He began to choke. Stephanie did her best to stay calm, but it didn’t take long for this situation to become dire. As a result, this mom was forced to make a tough choice… and fast. TikTok “I grabbed my phone to call 911, but as I was reaching for my phone and unlocking it and typing in the number and looking to assess Sebastian, he was already blue,” Stephanie explains. “And that’s when I started to panic.” When Her 7-Year-Old Turns Blue While Choking, Mom Wisely Rushes Over to a Trusted Neighbor for Life-Saving Help Afraid that help wouldn’t arrive in time, Stephanie rushed over to a neighbor named Gary Hutchinson. With Sebastian in her arms, she spoke to Gary through his doorbell camera while he made his way to them. Despite the dire situation, both adults were able to remain calm and act quickly. See for yourself in the video below. Thankfully, Gary has CPR training, so his instincts kicked into gear once Sebastian was in his care. So, as terrifying as this situation was for all three of them, in the end, this sweet 7-year-old was saved just in time. Plus, he’s doing just fine now! Needless to say, Stephanie couldn’t be more grateful. “Things could have been so much worse,” she says. You can find the source of this story’s featured image here!
