Former President Donald Trump has pulled ahead of Vice President Kamala Harris in the White House race across six key swing states, one betting market announced on Wednesday, less than three weeks out from Election Day. Polymarket showed Trump leading Harris 68%-32% in Arizona, where 11 electoral votes are at stake; 64%-36% in Georgia, where 16 electoral votes are at stake; and 59%-41% in Pennsylvania, where 19 electoral votes are at stake. The site also showed Trump above Harris 55%-45% in Michigan, where 15 electoral votes are at stake; 54%-46% in Wisconsin, where 10 electoral votes are at stake; and 51%-49% in Nevada, where six electoral votes are at stake.

There is still time for the odds to shift back and forth as the candidates and their allies conduct a final campaign blitz. Polymarket’s overall forecast on Wednesday showed that Trump was ahead of Harris 58.5%-41.3%. Trump’s advantage has grown since the beginning of October, when the betting market showed him and Harris virtually tied. MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ COMING TO DAILYWIRE+ OCT. 28 Harris, who became the Democrats’ presidential nominee after President Joe Biden dropped out of the race over the summer, has begun to ramp up her interview schedule after largely ducking the press early in her campaign. Despite relatively friendly interviews with ABC’s “The View,” late-night host Stephen Colbert on CBS, and others, Harris has struggled to answer how she differs from Biden and prove that she does not need to lean on a teleprompter. Several other betting markets also show Trump ahead of Harris in the 2024 White House race. The RealClearPolitics (RCP) average, which includes Polymarket and some competitors, shows Trump leading Harris 57.7%-41.3%. Although Trump is surging ahead in betting markets, polls still indicate a close race between him and Harris. RCP’s average for national polls show Harris ahead 49.2%-47.5% and Trump leading 48.3%-47.6% in battleground states. Polymarket showed Harris as favored to win the popular vote, with a 64%-36% advantage over Trump. It also showed a 79% chance of Republicans taking over the Senate and 55% odds of the Democrats winning control of the House. Billionaire investor Stanley Druckenmiller, the chairman and CEO of Duquesne Family Office, said on Wednesday the overall market — in which multiple stock indices rose to record highs this week — anticipates Trump to be victorious. “In the last 12 days, the market and the inside of the market is very convinced Trump is going to win,” he told Bloomberg. “You can see it in the bank stocks, you can see it in crypto, you can even see it in DJT, his social media company.”

President Donald Trump said this week that the solution to stopping men from playing in women’s sports was to simply ban it at the federal level through executive action. Trump made the remarks during a Fox News town hall with female voters on Wednesday afternoon with host Harris Faulkner. When asked, nearly every woman in the audience raised their hand and said that men pretending to be women playing in women’s sports was a serious concern for them. Linda from Georgia asked Trump: “How do you plan on addressing the transgender issue in women’s sports?” “I have nine grandchildren, six of them female, all playing sports, and we are very concerned for their safety, not just on the field and the courts, but in their locker rooms as well,” she said. MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ COMING TO DAILYWIRE+ OCT. 28 Trump responded, “It’s such an easy question, and everybody in the room, and you know that answer, we’re not going to let it happen.” The former president highlighted examples of men dominating women in sports ranging from volleyball to swimming where women are being hurt and the men are shattering records. “You can’t have it,” Trump said. When asked about the best way to stop it, Trump responded: “You just ban it. The president bans it. You just don’t let it happen. Not a big deal.” WATCH: Trump town hall attendee: “How do you plan on addressing the transgender issue in women’s sports? I have 9 grandchildren, 6 of them female, all playing sports.

Senator Bob Casey (D-PA) has made a number of dubious statements during the 2024 election cycle against his Republican challenger, businessman and veteran Dave McCormick, on a slew of issues from the border to abortion. The pair, who faced off in a debate Tuesday night, are fighting one of the most closely-watched races in the country that could decide which party controls the Senate next year. McCormick is an Army combat veteran who served in Iraq. He was previously a hedge fund CEO, and he also served as the Under Secretary of the Treasury for International Affairs during the George W. Bush administration. Casey is seeking his fourth term as senator from Pennsylvania. On illegal immigration, Casey has said he is “fighting to secure our border” and even used a border wall image in a campaign ad despite previously calling a wall a “waste of money.” “President Trump doesn’t seem to get it. He’s not getting a concrete or steel wall along the width of the border- never, ever, ever, ever,” Casey said in 2019. President Trump doesn’t seem to get it. He’s not getting a concrete or steel wall along the width of the border- never, ever, ever, ever. https://t.co/5OlMnBA8pp — Senator Bob Casey (@SenBobCasey) January 5, 2019 Casey also claimed McCormick supports “a total abortion ban with no exceptions for rape or incest.” McCormick has said he is pro-life, but supports abortion exceptions for rape, incest, and life of the mother. Casey was first elected in 2007 as a rare pro-life Democrat, but he has since loudly supported abortion, even voting for the Women’s Health Protection Act, which would enshrine legal abortion in federal law. Casey has also said he is “proud to stand with Pennsylvania’s law enforcement officers,” and that safety is a “top priority” for him. However, Casey was endorsed earlier this year by a progressive group that has called for police departments to be defunded. I retired from the Army as a captain after a combat tour in Iraq, but I've never stopped serving my country. I'm a seventh-generation Pennsylvanian, political outsider, & PA job creator. Bob Casey is a weak, liberal, 30-year career politician who has failed our commonwealth. pic.twitter.com/NnuK1F25Su — Dave McCormick (@DaveMcCormickPA) October 16, 2024 Casey also vowed he is “committed to fighting the fentanyl crisis,” but he has voted against a total of $800 million for opioid and narcotic detection. Earlier this year, he introduced a bill he claimed would help stop fentanyl at the border, but the bill never made it out of committee. Nearly 4,000 Pennsylvanians died from fentanyl in the 12-month period that ended in May. Casey also said he understands the “economic benefits and energy independence that Pennsylvania’s energy industry provides.” However, six different times, Casey has introduced a bill, the FRAC Act, that he says would allow “rigorous oversight” by the Environmental Protection Agency. The bill would hamstring drilling, kill hundreds of thousands of jobs, and cause higher energy prices, according to energy groups. About 20,000 Pennsylvanians work in the fracking industry. Vice President Kamala Harris said in 2019 that she was “in favor of banning fracking,” but she has backtracked on that position this year. MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ COMING TO DAILYWIRE+ OCT. 28 Casey has taken aim at McCormick over seniors as well, claiming that the Republican will “slash your Medicare and Social Security and cut Medicaid for nursing home care.” McCormick’s team pushed back strongly, pointing out that even The Washington Post gave Casey four “Pinocchios” for this claim, which the paper called “made up.” McCormick has been very clear that he will oppose any changes in benefits for seniors, his campaign said. Casey also accused McCormick of having “ties to Vladimir Putin’s personal slush fund,” claiming he invested nearly half a billion dollars into Russian sovereign bonds. McCormick’s campaign called these “imaginary ties” and pointed out that Casey himself as Pennsylvania state treasurer oversaw pension investments in Russian bonds totaling more than $197 million. Another of Casey’s bills, supported by President Biden but stuck in committee, would enact price controls on companies. The bill was slammed by a Washington Post columnist, who said it would “make the problem worse.” Casey has also promised to “fight for a middle-class tax cut.” The McCormick campaign pointed out that Casey voted against former President Donald Trump’s tax cuts and opposes renewing them before they expire next year. Meanwhile, Casey voted for several bills greenlighting the Biden administration’s trillions of dollars in spending while blaming inflation on corporate profits. Matt Gruda, McCormick’s campaign manager, declared victory after the debate, calling Casey a “weak career politician, who is a sure vote for Kamala Harris’s liberal agenda.” “Casey doubled down on the same failed policies that have sent the cost of living skyrocketing, restricted Pennsylvania energy, allowed crime to run rampant across the commonwealth, and thrown open our borders, enabling fentanyl to kill 4,000 Pennsylvanians last year,” Gruda said. The Pennsylvania Senate race has razor-thin margins. Casey leads McCormick by just three percentage points, and the latest polls show that lead eroding. Currently, Democrats control the upper chamber by just one seat with 51 members who vote with them, while Republicans control 49 seats.

The hosts of the “Flagrant” podcast on Wednesday discussed the reactions they’ve gotten, as well as the fallout they’ve each experienced, after sitting down with former President Donald Trump on a recent episode. Comedian Andrew Schulz opened the show stating that Trump is “winning by a landslide” given the response he’s received from people on the street. “It’s not close anymore … before he came on, I was like, ‘He don’t got a chance,’” Schulz said. “I was like, ‘He’s coming on here, he got to be down bad. He got to be down.’ I mean, no, we’re the best. And then after the interview, obviously we saw the reaction.” “You know what it was? It was the looks on the street, the looks on the street I was getting — it was like, you know … a nod, like a person you don’t know,” he added, noting that the nods he’s been getting appear to be those of approval from people he believes are Trump supporters. “What a different racial reality we live in,” co-host Akaash Singh replied, noting that he lost 10,000 followers on Instagram after he posted a picture of himself posing with Donald Trump ahead of the release of the podcast. Later, Schulz talked about the fallout, saying that a venue for his next set of comedy shows canceled mere hours after the Trump interview. “It was an awesome interview and everybody loved it. Then a day later, Dov [the producer] was like, ‘Oh, by the way, the venue you’re going to shoot your special in canceled your shows,”’ Schulz said, adding that the venue had been locked in for months. MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ COMING TO DAILYWIRE+ OCT. 28 “It’s ready to go. We’re going on sale this week, like we have the entire production team come out for,” he added. “This is for the third time many of us are, you know, spotting the venue and looking … we have the set design already curated … we’re going on sale this week.” The podcast host admitted the Brooklyn Academy of Music never specified in its email that the cancellation was because of Trump, but he pointed out the timing, noting that three and a half hours after the interview, they were notified that Schulz wasn’t “the right fit for this show at this time.” At one point, the hosts got candid about how comfortable Trump appeared to be with them, pointing to the moment that the former president noted he doesn’t like when people say things that about him that aren’t true. “I think I asked him, I was like, how does it feel when these people say things about you that you don’t believe are true?” Schulz said. “And he goes, ‘Yeah, I don’t like it or it hurts … yeah, he goes, ‘It bothers me.'” “Have you ever heard Trump admit that anything bothered him?” he added. The hosts also revealed that they reached out to Vice President Kamala Harris’ team, but said they weren’t “really enthusiastic.” Related: ‘The Interview Was Fire’: Podcast Host Talks To Charlamagne Tha God About His Sit Down With Trump

We all have our favorite celebrities who’ve positively impacted our lives. We may post on social media or send them a note to say thank you. They don’t always have time to respond to their fan mail, but it’s pretty incredible when they do. Some artist’s biggest fans are actually other celebs. They may never cross paths professionally, but their admiration remains. Henry Winkler is a huge Jelly Roll fan, and I thought he’d reach out to tell him. What Jelly Roll did next put a huge smile on Henry’s face. View this post on Instagram A post shared by LIVE with Kelly and Mark (@livekellyandmark) Henry Didn’t Expect A Response Henry shared the experience on Live With Kelly And Mark. He said he wrote “Mr. Roll” a note and received a video response. The former Happy Days star explained, “I write thank you notes or fan notes, and I wrote one to Jelly Roll. Dear Mr. Roll. And I never thought I would hear back. And all of a sudden, I got a video from Kelly of Mr. Roll thanking me.” Overcome with emotion, Henry said to Kelly, “Oh my God, thank you.” Kelly joked that she loved being the one to share the news with Henry. “By the way, it was the most exciting thing that has ever not happened to me, you know what I mean,” Kelly said. “It was for you, it had nothing to do with me. It was for you but the fact that I was able to be the conduit was the most exciting thing.” She then shared the video from Jelly Roll who said, “Hey Mr Winkler, it’s Jelly Roll. I’m just sending my love. I have been hoping to see you ’cause I got a note, and they said it was from you.” He added that the letter shocked him. At first, Jelly Roll didn’t think it was real. When his publicist confirmed the authenticity, he framed it. “I will send you a picture when I get home, I hope you don’t mind, I framed it. I hung it up on my wall where I have like hand written lyrics from Craig Morgan, all the stuff that’s really been special in my career.” He added, “Thank you, I’m absolutely honored Mr Winkler, I can’t wait to see you and hopefully give you a hug man,” Jelly Roll said. “I’m a big hugger. I’ll squeeze you.” You can find the source of this story’s featured image here.

One of our favorite things about Dancing With The Stars is the way the show celebrates the stars’ careers in the most fun ways. We’ve watched Alfonso Ribeiro dance to Tom Jones’s It’s Not Unusual and perform his iconic “Carlton” dance. In Nelly’s first episode, he appeared on a motorcycle and danced the salsa to his hit song Ride Wit Me. Stephen Nedoroscik had his moment to show off on October 15 when he incorporated the pommel horse into his DWTS routine. There’s A Reason Stephen Nedoroscik Is An Olympic Medalist He’s just so darn good. On Dedication Night, he and Rylee Arnold danced the Agentine Tango to the White Stripes’ Seven Nation Army. The song has a rhythmic beat that lends itself perfectly to Stephen’s quick routine on the horse. He started their performance with a solo gymnastics routine that was impressive on its own. It’s even more incredible when you factor in that Stephen wore a suit. He and Rylee hit the floor and once again, impressed the judges. Bruno Tonioli told Stephen, “You were a good student.” He said Stephen kept his focus throughout the dance. Fellow judges Carrie Ann Inaba, Derek Hough, and Mark Ballas agreed, noting he was a bit wobbly, but it didn’t stop them from scoring Stephen and Rylee a total of 33. Fans love Stephen and think he’s very dedicated to getting his dances right. “Rylee is giving him BY FAR the most challenging choreography in the competition but he’s handling it and doing amazing. He deserves to go to the finale,” a fan wrote on YouTube. This person agreed, “I thought he deserved all 9s. Really difficult dance. Great prescience and footwork. So partial to our Olympians and running backs and I just love this young man. Absolutely fantastic, especially when he started doing gymnastics at beginning. Great performance. And see improvement every week with Riley!” Stephen and Rylee will be back next week and we can’t wait to see what’s in store. You can find the source of this story’s featured image here.

We don’t know about you, but we have those people in our house who we never want to wake up unless we absolutely have to. They are the kind of people who make the phrase “Don’t poke the bear” relatable. Sometimes, though, if they’re kids, we have to wake them up to get them where they need to be. Even as adults, we don’t love to get moving in the morning, but you’ve got to do what you’ve got to do. @ryliechristie bros plotting against the entite world rn ♬ original sound – ryliechristie1 Rylie Christie’s Baby Likes His Sleep Rylie’s baby, Parker, loves his sleep, and when she recently woke him from his sweet slumber, she looked at him like, “Lady, who are you messing with?” She posted a video on her TikTok, and it easily went viral. The mom told Newsweek, “Parker is not a fan of waking up.” The 21-year-old lives in Florida with her family and said that she was never a morning person herself. “Normally, I’d go to bed around 12 to 1 a.m. and wake up at 11 to start my day, but having a baby quickly changed that,” she explained. She captioned the video, “POV: you’ve never been a morning person and birthed a mini-me.” Parker is clearly not happy with his mother’s attempts to make him smile or coo and gives her a death stare instead. Parkers mean mug racked up 1.3 million views and left people in stitches. Someone joked, “What’s so good about it?” This person felt Parker’s pain. “I am not a morning person, I was blessed with a baby that stayed not a morning person but now we’re going to school & it’s a problem for both of us.” This night owl has an early bird baby. “No mine got in a habit of waking up at 7am with me for work.
