Election polls 2024 live: Donald Trump completes Joe Rogan interview as Harris prepares to rally with Beyonce

Hit podcaster Joe Rogan’s interview with former President Donald Trump spanned three hours long.

‘Hello world,’ said Rogan to which Trump replied ‘hello world’ in a TikTok posted by the Trump campaign.

‘We just wrapped up a great podcast,’ said Rogan.

‘We had a great time, I think you’ll find it very interesting and enjoyable,’ added Trump.

It’s the first highly anticipated wide-ranging interview between the two with 11 days to the election.

For years, Trump has traded barbs with the popular podcaster, who once called the ex-president a ‘threat to democracy.’

The episode is anticipated to be released on Saturday.

Sarah Ewall-Wice, Senior U.S. Political Reporter:

Music legend Willie Nelson is performing at Vice President Kamala Harris’ rally in Houston.

‘We ready to say Madame President?’ Nelson said before launching into his performance.

The 91-year-old kicked of his set with the song ‘Mammas Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up to be Cowboys’ before playing ‘On the Road Again.’

Sarah Ewall-Wice, Senior U.S. Political Reporter:

Actress and businesswoman Jessica Alba is speaking at the Kamala Harris rally in Houston, Texas.

‘Our freedoms and democracy are on the line,’ Alba said.

She says they need a president like Harris to protect reproductive freedom.

Former President Obama is campaigning in North Carolina this evening.

He is in the battleground state to rally support for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz but also weighed in on the governor’s race with a brutal takedown of GOP candidate Mark Robinson.

‘I do not know where to start with this man,’ Obama said. ‘Called the Civil Rights movement crap, called LGBTQ people filth, self-identified as a Nazi, suggested bringing back slavery.’

‘I think it’s fair to say you do not need a governor that makes Donald Trump look almost normal,’ Obama said.

The former president praised Democrat Josh Stein as someone who has shown he is up for the job.

Obama was the last Democrat to with the presidential election in the state in 2008.

Sarah Ewall-Wice, Senior U.S. Political Reporter:

People waited for hours in Houston to get into Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign rally Friday night with Beyonce and Willie Nelson.

Some people even brought their own chairs and umbrellas to protect themselves from the sun as they sat in the parking lot outside the Shell Energy Stadium.

Supporters are decked out in their best Harris-Walz gear.

The stadium holds more than 20,000 people.

Texas is not considered a presidential battleground, but the vice president is set to deliver an address on reproductive freedom in the state, which has one of the strictest abortion bans.

Earlier today, the vice president previewed her speech calling the state ‘ground zero in this fundamental fight for the freedom of women to make decisions about their own body.’

Signs in the stadium are urging people to vote but also have another message: ‘Trust women.’

Explosions have been heard across Tehran as IDF forces announce they have launched retaliatory strikes in the region.

The Israeli military has said it is conducting ‘precise strikes’ on military targets in Iran in response to what it called ‘the continuous attacks from the regime in Iran against Israel’.

There have been reports of at least five explosions that have rocked the city of Tehran, as well as loud blasts heard in the Damascus countryside and central region.

A Texas man who wore a hat supporting former President Donald Trump punched an election worker who told him that wearing items endorsing a candidate are prohibited at voting sites, a sheriff said Friday.

The election worker, identified as a 69-year-old man, was treated at the scene Thursday and returned to his election post at a San Antonio library on Friday, officials said. The suspect was arrested on felony charges of assaulting an elderly person and could face additional charges, Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar said.

The alleged assault happened at the end of the first week of early voting in Texas , where long lines have stretched outside some polling places.

Both the sheriff and county elections administrator urged voters to stay calm and patient during sometimes long waits to vote during what they described as a contentious election.

Trump’s campaign is running long clips of Tucker Carlson’s ‘Art of the Surge’ video with behind-the-scenes footage at his Michigan rally – with the event start to begin hours late.

Trump wrapped up a three-hour taping of Joe Rogan’s podcast in Texas, according to a post by campaign senior aide Steven Cheung.

Supporters were lined up to enter the rally hours before its scheduled 7:30 pm start time. It is being held outside and inside an open airport hangar.

Some of the few thousand here are seated in bleachers, others are standing on the cement floor of the hangar.

MAGA fans are watching the screen, while Trump makes backstage quips at his rallies, flies on ‘Trump Force One,’ and flips through his wife Melania’s new coffee table book on the video. ‘Great pictures – interesting,’ Trump says.

The temperature outside is 50 degrees and set to drop to 48.

At about 7:45 pm, the video froze suddenly, and the jumbo screen switched to a slide show selling MAGA hats and touting campaign slogans.

Tucked away in the far northwest corner of country just before the cliffs drop off into the Pacific Ocean lies America’s last true bellwether county.

A decidedly purple place, the small, rural region of Clallam County in Washington boasts an unmatched record of voting for every presidential election winner since Ronald Reagan in 1980.

This is the longest success streak of any of America’s 3,143 counties.

Now all eyes are on this unassuming county once again to see which way the wind is blowing for 2024, as vice president Kamala Harris faces off against former president Donald Trump in a divisive, neck and neck race.

Kamala Harris will sit down for another network interview on Sundauy with CBS Evening News’ Norah O’Donnell.

The anchor will join the VP in Houston and Kalamzaoo, Michigan, and promises a behind the scenes look at the final days of the campaign.

Vice President Kamala Harris remains unable to prove her claim she worked at McDonald’s while she was a college student, despite repeated taunting from former President Donald Trump.

‘I’ve now worked for 15 minutes more than Kamala at McDonald’s,’ Trump told reporters and customers after he made French fries and served food out of the drive-thru service window on Sunday.

The Harris campaign maintains that Harris worked at a McDonald’s location on Central Avenue in Alameda, California during the summer after her freshman year at Howard University in 1983.

But staff at the restaurant have reportedly been sworn to secrecy and when DailyMail.com contacted them to ask, an employee said ‘no, sorry’.

The biggest election night 2024 mystery may not be whether Donald Trump or Kamala Harris gets the White House – but when Americans will find out who won.

With polls showing the race a virtual coin flip between Trump and Harris, the November 5 election looks to be perhaps the closest in history.

That will likely spell a long, drawn out round of mail-in ballot counts and even recounts depending on the state.

If any of the seven battlegrounds are close, counting could drag on well into November 6 and beyond.

The 2020 election was not called for Joe Biden until four days later – on the following Saturday.

On Election Day in 2000, Democrat Al Gore conceded in the wee hours the next morning, but then spectacularly rescinded his not-legally-binding concession.

After the dramatic shake up at the top of the Democratic presidential ticket, Democrats are growing more confident in their ability to hold the White House and Senate and flip the House with Kamala Harris as their presidential nominee.

But two congressional districts could help decide the country’s fate not just at the top of the ticket come November but also both chambers of Congress: Pennsylvania’s eighth congressional district and Nebraska’s second congressional district.

The case for watching these two districts to know where the election is headed was first made by former New York Congressman and Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee chair Steve Israel.

He wrote in June ‘when the dust settles, the only information you will need in order to conclude who won the 2024 election will be the results of Pennsylvania’s 8th and Nebraska’s 2nd Congressional District. For the next five months, they are the center of the political universe.’

Across the United States, Democrats are out knocking on doors and rallying support with just over two weeks to go before Election Day. But north of the border in Canada, a flurry of activity ahead of the 2024 election is also underway.

The presidential race between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris appears razor-thin, so Democrats are looking for American voters wherever they might be to cast ballots including Canada.

The exact number of Americans living abroad is hard to determine, but it is believed more than four million U.S. citizens are living overseas.

The top country where adult U.S. citizens are living outside the U.S. is Canada.

Some 605,000 adult U.S. citizens are living north of the border according to the non-partisan Federal Voting Assistance Program.

With that it does not come as a surprise perhaps that Democrats are hitting the pavement in the U.S. voter rich country searching for eligible voters.

In a campaign that is shattering spending records, a handful of individuals are accounting for a massive splurge that is driving the ad spending voters are seeing on billboards and smartphones in battleground states.

Among them are billionaires who amassed fortunes in railroads, hedge funds, and shipping platforms.

The five top mega-donors are all backing Republicans, with Donald Trump relying on their support to try to counter the edge Kamala Harris has garnered among individual contributors.

Topping the list is Timothy Mellon, the grandson of leading financier and Pittsburgh native Andrew Mellon. He alone accounts for $172 million in campaign contributions, with $125 million going to the pro-Trump MAGA, Inc.

He also gave $25 million to American Values 2024, which backs Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., who ended his independent campaign and threw his support to Trump.

The former president put him on his transition effort and said he will take on health responsibilities in a future Trump administration.

Political artists have ridiculed Donald Trump with a diaper-clad blimp and dog waste over the years.

This week their scatological satire came in the form of a soft-serve poop sculpture.

The statue appeared atop a wooden desk on Capitol Hill, and from the right angle it lines up with the domed silhouette of the U.S. Capitol building.

A sign on the desk explains it as a ‘memorial’ to the ‘brave men and women’ who broke into Congress to ‘loot, urinate and defecate.’

‘President Trump celebrates these heroes of January 6th as ‘unbelievable patriots’ and ‘warriors,”‘ it reads.

‘This monument stands as a testament to their daring sacrifice and lasting legacy.’

Kamala Harris will charge Donald Trump with wanting to ban abortion nation wide if he wins the White House when she addresses a rally in Texas tonight.

Her campaign released early excerpts of her remarks.

Harris will speak in Houston and a large crowd is expected given that singer Beyonce will perform. Texas has become a center state in the abortion rights battle.

Trump has said abortion is an issue that should be left to the states.

Here are the excerpts from Harris’ speech

The Attorney General of Texas is suing the United States Government so that Texas prosecutors can get their hands on the private medical records of women who leave the state to get care.

So, see what is happening: Donald Trump won’t let anyone see his medical records. But these guys want to get their hands on yours? Simply put: They are out of their minds.

In just four years as President, Donald Trump was able to erase half a century of hard-fought progress for women. And now, he wants to go even further. Let us be clear: If Donald Trump wins again, he will ban abortion nationwide.

And though we are in Texas tonight, for anyone watching from another state, if you think you are protected from Trump abortion bans because you live in Michigan, Pennsylvania, Nevada, New York, California, or any state where voters or legislators have protected reproductive freedom, please know: No one is protected. Because a Donald Trump national ban will outlaw abortion in every single state.

Trump VP hopeful J.D. Vance accidentally shouted out North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson, who wasn’t at the campaign event.

I want to give a shout out, you guys have a great Lieutenant Governor… Sorry…Mark isn’t here

Robinson is facing massive backlash from Democrats and Republicans after CNN revealed highly concerning comments that he allegedly posted on a pornographic forum.

Kamala Harris and Donald Trump have set their sights on Pennsylvania as key to victory in the presidential election. But it is not their only path to the White House.

Last week, Harris visited the state twice with campaign events in Erie and Washington Crossing, Pennsylvania. Trump campaigned in Oaks, Pennsylvania, and Latrobe outside Pittsburgh.

Pennsylvania with its nineteen electoral votes is the biggest of the seven battleground states that could swing either way and decide the election.

And the latest polling is showing the race in a dead heat in the crucial swing state, with Trump up just half a point in the Real Clear Politics average.

While the path forward to the necessary 270 electoral votes becomes much more complicated without Pennsylvania, it does not mean the race is over for either Trump or Harris.

The ex-president won the state in 2016 on his path to the White House by less than 70,000 votes. But President Biden flipped it back to blue in 2020 by just 80,000 votes.

If Harris wins Pennsylvania, then Trump’s likeliest path to victory appears to be taking Arizona, Georgia, North Carolina and Michigan.

Should Trump win Pennsylvania, then Harris’ likeliest path to the White House seems to be winning Wisconsin, Michigan, Nevada and either Georgia or North Carolina.

Democrats have not won the White House without winning the Keystone State since 1948, but Republicans have successfully won in more recent years without it.

President Joe Biden cracked ‘there’s nothing wrong with me’ as he butchered his introduction to a Native American community he was visiting to issue a historic apology.

The 81-year-old president on Friday visited the Gila River Indian Community and said ‘I formally apologize,’ for the federal government’s program of forcing Native Americans children into boarding schools.

Biden became the first sitting U.S. president to visit the community, snugged up against Phoenix – a trip being made 11 days before Election Day, in a swing state.

‘Gov, thank you for that introduction. And to the Gila Indian River Community – the Gila, the Gila – nothing wrong with me,’ he said to laughs. ‘The Gila River Indian Community, for welcoming me today.’

He was welcomed by most members of the community, except one very loud pro-Palestine protester. who interrupted him after he delivered the official apology.

Donald Trump condemned a judicial ruling Friday that ordered Virginia to halt its removal of possible non-citizens from state voter rolls during a campaign stop in Texas.

This is blatantly un American, and it’s election interference, and Kamala Harris is behind it very much.

He delivered his verdict hours after U.S. District Judge Patricia Giles ruled that 1,600 voters had been wrongly purged from rolls during a 90-day ‘quiet’ period ahead of the election when large-scale changes cannot be made.

They found thousands of illegal votes, and the judge said, you didn’t do it in a timely fashion. They did it a long time ago, as legal scholar Andy McCarthy just said, and very correctly: How can non-citizens be allowed on the voter rolls if their voting is a federal crime?

In recent days, Harris has tried to capitalize on audio testimony from former General John Kelly who served as Trump’s White House chief of staff revealing comments the former president made about Hitler.

‘He commented more than once that, “You know, Hitler did some good things, too,”‘ Kelly said to The New York Times on Tuesday.

Harris said during a CNN town hall on Friday that Trump is ‘a president who admires dictators and is a fascist.’

Wartski, described Trump as a ‘mensch’ and argued that Trump would be a great president for Israel and the Jewish people.

He praised Trump’s decision to meet with American Jews in New York on October 7 to recognize the first anniversary of the Hamas terrorist attacks in Israel.

Wartski met Trump at the event which took place at the Ohel of Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson in New York City.

‘Why should President Trump pray for the hostages at the Ohel and get in and spend time with so many?’ Wartski asks. ‘He has always stood with the Jewish people and the state of Israel.’

Chinese hackers are said to have targeted phones used by Donald Trump and Kamala Harris in a breach of a telecommunications network, a new report claims.

The Trump campaign was informed earlier this week that the phone numbers of the Republican presidential nominee and his running mate were breached, The New York Times reported.

Staff were warned that data may have been accessed in the sophisticated hack.

It was believed to be part of an infiltration of the Verizon phone systems.

Investigators are trying to find out if any data was taken during the hack of phones used by politicians and government employees.

Kamala Harris decried a suggestion from a conservative Republican lawmaker to have North Carolina allocate its president electors to Donald Trump even before votes are counted.

‘One of the pillars and foundations of our democracy, which is free and fair elections, and that they are not manipulated by elected leaders for the sake of their own political future,’ she told reporters in Texas.

‘One of the big issues in this election and in the next 11 days is do you want a president who … tried to undo the will of the people … do you want a president who respects the will of the people,’ she added.

Republican Rep. Andy Harris of North Carolina argued the early allocation of electors ‘makes a lot of sense,’ given the damage the state has suffered in the recent hurricanes, according to Politico.

Potential difficulties with voting in the hurricane-damaged area would be a basis for the state Legislature to declare in advance that Trump should win the state’s 16 electoral votes, Harris, the chairman of the House Freedom Caucus, said at a Republican Party dinner in Maryland’s Talbot County.

North Carolina is a key battleground state that could decide the winner of the election.

A criminal investigation is underway in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania after election workers flagged 2,500 voter registration forms for potential fraud.

Lancaster County District Attorney Heather Adams, a Republican, said two other counties also ‘received similar applications’ and were notified to check into them. She said:

It appears to be an organized effort at this point. But of course, it’s an ongoing investigation. And we’ll be looking into who exactly participated in it and how far up it goes.

In some cases, applications contained correct personal identification information, such as the correct address, correct phone number, date of birth, driver’s license number and Social Security number – but the individuals listed on the applications informed detectives that they did not request the form. They did not complete the form and verified that the signature on the form was not theirs.

Lancaster Commissioner Ray D’Agostino, a Republican who chairs the election board, said at the news conference:

The fact of the matter is, we’ve contained this. This is not right. It’s illegal. It’s immoral. And we found it, and we’re going to take care of it.

Earlier Friday, a judge in Virginia ordered that 1,600 self-identified ‘noncitizen’ voters be added back to the voter rolls in the state.

Gov. Glenn Youngkin is vowing to take the case to the Supreme Court.

Attorney John Yoo weighed in on the latest to DailyMail.com:

I think that the Governor has good chances on appeal.  The review of the voter rolls turned up about 1600 people who registered to vote but who stated in their registration form that they were not citizens.  

It is illegal for non-citizens to vote in a federal election.  Virginia is entitled — indeed, it has a duty — to make sure that it does not allow non-citizens to vote.  Federal law prohibits the states from launching a systematic purge of voting rolls within 90 days of an election, but it does not prevent states from looking at individual cases — here, there are only 1600 registrants being removed who themselves attested that they were not citizens, out of a state population of  8.7 million.  

That the Justice Department would waste such resources to bring a suit when Virginia has acted reasonably will be further fodder for those who think that politics has infected the way that DOJ enforces the law.

Thousands of suspected fraudulent voter registrations have been found in the critical swing state of Pennsylvania.

The Lancaster County Board of Elections announced Friday that staff members identified approximately 2,500 suspected fraudulent voter registration applications dropped off at the election office.

The Keystone State was also one of the hubs of unfounded voter fraud allegations in 2020.

It took four days to finish counting the ballots to declare President Joe Biden the  winner of the race due to the county requirements in the state.

CNN polling guru Harry Enten said in his latest analysis that Donald Trump could win the popular vote. It would be the first time a Republican has done so since 2004.

Everyone has been talking about this idea that Trump may win in the Electoral College, but Kamala Harris may win the popular vote. But Trump may finally get his great white whale.

Fact is Donald Trump is very much in a position he could win the popular vote which is, of course, something he would absolutely love to do.

Democrats’ heads are exploding watching this right now.

The Washington Post announced their decision not to endorse a presidential candidate on Friday, for the first time since the 1980s.

William Lewis, the publisher and chief executive officer of The Washington Post detailed the decision, which he argued was a return to the roots of the paper and cited the importance of remaining independent.

‘We recognize that this will be read in a range of ways, including as a tacit endorsement of one candidate, or as a condemnation of another, or as an abdication of responsibility. That is inevitable. We don’t see it that way,’ he wrote.

A CNN poll released Friday found that Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Kamala Harris are tied.

The survey shows the two candidates both received 47 percent of likely voters’ support.

It was CNN’s final poll before the November 5 election.

And it’s the second poll released Friday showing the two are tied.

Trump and Harris both received 48 percent of the popular vote, according to the final New York Times and Siena College poll of this election cycle released Friday.

The two most powerful congressional Republicans put a rare and scathing joint statement pointedly condemning Kamala Harris for embracing inflammatory rhetoric when describing her political rival Donald Trump.

Republican Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell put out a statement slamming the VP for labeling Trump as a ‘fascist.’

The letter began: ‘This summer, after the first attempted assassination of a presidential candidate in more than a century, President Biden insisted that ‘we can’t allow this violence to be normalized.’ In September, after President Trump escaped yet another close call, Vice President Harris acknowledged that ‘we all must do our part to ensure that this incident does not lead to more violence.’’

Then the GOP leaders claim Harris’ words could invite another attempt on Trump’s life.

‘The man who was caught waiting in ambush in Florida left others with a chilling call to arms: ‘It is up to you now to finish the job’. Labeling a political opponent as a ‘fascist,’ risks inviting yet another would-be assassin to try robbing voters of their choice before Election Day.’

‘We have both been briefed on the ongoing and persistent threats to former President Donald Trump by adversaries to the United States, and we call on the Vice President to take these threats seriously, stop escalating the threat environment, and help ensure President Trump has the necessary resources to be protected from those threats,’ the statement concluded.

By Jon Michael Raasch, U.S. Political Reporter for DailyMail.com

An advisor to House Republican Conference Chair Elise Stefanik has confirmed that her campaign’ property has been vandalized.

‘On the morning of October 25th, staff working for Chairwoman Elise Stefanik’s re-election campaign were alerted to a dozen signs in Lake Luzerne that had been vandalized. The signs were also covered with a foreign, white substance. Campaign staff immediately reached out to the Warren County Sheriff’s Department to learn whether the substance was hazardous,’ Stefanik advisor Alex DeGrasse, told DailyMail.com.

‘The Sheriff’s Department deemed the substance non-hazardous and the signs were discarded.’

He called the incident ‘yet another unfortunate example of efforts by Far Left Democrats this election cycle.’

DeGrasse claimed Democrat radicals are responsible for thousands of dollars worth of campaign signs in that single district.

About 17 million votes were cast via mail while 15 million voted in person.

So far, from around the country, 64 million mail-in ballots have been requested.

The battleground states have seen some of the heaviest voting action.

Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Georgia, and Arizona have some of the highest early voting rates, which makes sense given the resources both presidential campaigns are pouring in to those areas.

More Democrats have voted early than Republicans, 41% to 36%. And more women than men, 54% to 44%.

Vice President Kamala Harris will sit down for a podcast interview with Brené Brown, an inspirational speaker and writer.

Brown is a research professor at the University of Houston and holds the Huffington Foundation Endowed Chair at the Graduate College of Social Work.

She is famous for speaking about the importance of people becoming comfortable with vulnerability in their life.

‘I believe that you have to walk through vulnerability to get to courage, therefore…embrace the suck. I try to be grateful every day, and my motto right now is “Courage over comfort,’ she writes on her website.

Brown is the host of the podcast ‘Unlocking Us’ which promises ‘conversations that unlock the deeply human part of who we are, so that we can live, love, parent, and lead with a whole heart.’

The Kamala Harris campaign is deploying new audio of former Trump White House Chief of Staff John Kelly in a new ad.

It features Kelly saying his former boss ‘certainly falls into the general definition of a fascist, using the military to go after American citizens.’

The retired Marine general also told the New York Times Trump told him ‘Hitler did some good things too.’ Trump has hit back at Kelly, calling him ‘weak’ and a ‘marshmallow.’

The Harris camp is leaning heavily into the rhetoric on fascism, amid a spate of polls showing the race in a virtual tie with Trump making slight gains in national polls.

A Virginia federal judge ordered that self-identified noncitizens should be allowed back on the commonwealth’s voter rolls after Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin had them removed.

Youngkin is firing back in a statement calling it a commonplace ‘safeguard.’

He said the commonwealth will be appealing the decision to the Supreme Court.

Vice President Kamala Harris met with Phoenix-based chef Rene Andrade to discuss cooking and small businesses.

The campaign released a video of their conversation filmed at Andrade’s Bacanora

‘Oh my God I’m in heaven. I’m speechless. Chef! You’re killing it!’ Harris said after she ate some of the beans that he had prepared.

Harris later had a conversation around the table about the importance of community banks and loans for small businesses like restaurants.

Donald Trump is expected to sit down with podcaster Joe Rogan on Friday in a highly anticipated wide-ranging interview that will take place 11 days before the election. And given the pair’s past incendiary comments about each other, there are bound to be fireworks.

Trump has made the rounds with several prominent podcasters in the final weeks of the campaign, but none as influential as Rogan, who draws over 14 million listeners on Spotify alone and 17.5 million subscribers on YouTube.

Earlier this week, a campaign source confirmed to DailyMail.com that the long-awaited interview is being recorded in Rogan’s Austin, Texas, studio.

Rogan is known for hosting meandering hours-long interviews and probing guests about hot political, cultural and sometimes niche topics – think aliens or taking acid.

The interview taping on Friday is poised to be especially riveting since the pair have a complicated history.

For years, Trump has traded barbs with the popular podcaster, who once called the ex-president a ‘threat to democracy.’

As speculation mounts about what a Kamala Harris political cabinet could look like, Washington politicos are curious: Will she push for a continuation of the Biden administration or will she try to unburden herself from his record and chart a new path of her own?

For her first three years Harris was burdened by Biden’s close-knit staff, who held her at an arm’s length.

If Harris wins, she will have the opportunity to clean house and set her own legacy.

If elected as the first female black president, she will likely embrace the narrative of creating the most diverse and forward looking cabinet, just as she did when she took office as vice president.

Here’s a look at who might be running the country:

Donald Trump is scheduled to film his episode of Joe Rogan’s podcast on Friday.

However, the release date for the highly-anticipated installment is still unclear.

Spotify, which hosts the show, has yet to announce when the episode will air.

Reports indicate there was damage done at Rep. Elise Stefanik’s campaign office.

There was vandalism reported alongside a suspicious white substance at the House Republican Conference Chair’s Queensbury, New York, campaign office.

Her office did not immediately respond.

Since polls first opened in several Florida counties on Monday, over 3 million voters have cast their ballots.

Total early vote counts have tallied to over 28 million people nationwide – by in-person voting or by mail.

The election, which is in just 11 days, is closer than ever.

A new New York Times poll has Trump and Harris tied on 48 percent.

The State Department is honoring Dolly Parton with an award tied to her international and charity work.

The country music legend is the 2024 recipient of the PEACE Through Music Award, the Department announced. The award is given to an American artist who has played an invaluable role in cross-cultural exchanges and whose work advances peace and mutual understanding.

‘I get my personal peace from writing, from singing, from sharing with you,’ Parton said in her acceptance video.

She said she hopes her songs help people find peace, a ‘moment in time when they can be at rest in this world and find some comfort.’

The State Department cited Parton’s Imagination Library, which send books to children around the world, and her ties to developing a COVID-19 vaccine, in addition to her long music career, as the reason for her honor.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken, an amateur musician, established the award last year. Quincy Jones was the inaugural recipient.

Parton will be honored at the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles on Friday night.

According to a new Harris Poll survey, 55% of investors say that the outcome of the election in 11 days is more important than the markets.

It comes as a series of new polls show Donald Trump holding an edge on the economy, an issue that historically drives presidential races.

At a time when voters are still focused on inflation even as it has cooled to 2.4 percent, Americans are concluding that Trump will leave them wealthier and narrowly saying they trust him more on the economy.

Donald Trump is deploying a novel voter turnout pitch at his rallies – telling MAGA wives to goad their husbands into getting their ‘fat a**’ off the couch to do their civic duty.

Trump tried it at his Las Vegas rally Thursday night in a plea for early voting in closely contested state. ‘The polls are open for early voting in Nevada every day from now to November 1. So get your husband – Hank: Get the hell out of the couch, Hank! Get up, get that big fat a** of your – we’re gonna vote for the president. We’re gonna turn our country around, Hank. Come on, let’s go, Hank,’ to cheers from his rally crowd.

Earlier Thursday in Phoenix, it’s was Jimmy who needed a motivational kick in the behind. ‘Jimmy, let’s go. Let’s go. Jimmy, I’m not going to use foul language. Get your fat a** out of the couch. You’re going to vote, Jimmy, You’re going to vote. We’re going to save our country, Jimmy, we’re going to save our country.’

His pitch comes as a new YouGov poll had Trump holding a 55-40 lead among those who say they planned to vote election day, with Harris leading 63-32 among those who planned to vote by mail or absentee.

As the 2024 general election season heats up, Vice President Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are in a tight race that could come down to just a few thousand votes in several battleground states.

But with polls calling the race too close to call, maybe even the closest in modern history, there’s a question over whether either major party presidential hopeful will reach the necessary 270 Electoral College votes to win the November 5 election outright.

Each candidate needs to find a path to victory that inevitably winds through crucial – and currently within the polling margin of error swing states.

But even then, there is a scenario where the election results in neither candidate winning the required majority in the Electoral College and could tie 269-269.

So what then? Well, it has happened before – albeit not in 200 years!

Hillary Clinton is comparing Donald Trump’s upcoming Madison Square Garden rally to the 1939 pro-Nazi event at the same iconic location.

Trump’s 2016 Democratic rival is still out railing against him and warning Americans against giving him another term with just 12 days left until Election Day.

The former Secretary of State said Trump is seeking to ‘reenact’ the Nazi rally that took place in the New York City venue just over six months before the start of World War II.

A campaign source confirmed details of the long-awaited interview being recorded in Rogan’s Austin, Texas, studio to DailyMail.com.

Trump said in an interview last week with the Nelk Boys podcast that he was planning to sit down with Rogan, who boasts millions of followers.

Donald Trump hammered Kamala Harris for her border security and immigration plans in front of thousands in Arizona Thursday, saying she’s made the U.S. a human ‘dumping ground.’

Speaking to brimming Mullett Arena, in Tempe on Thursday the former president sought to make immigration the central theme of his address in the border state.

‘Kamala’s migrant invasion given to us by gross incompetence disqualifies her from even thinking about being president,’ Trump said.

‘We’re like a dumping ground,’ Trump said. ‘We’re like a garbage can for the world.’

Vice President Kamala Harris brought in some of the biggest political and entertainment superstars in the world Thursday night for a rally in Georgia.

But after hours of waiting in line and standing in the sun, hundreds of fans headed for the exit before the Democratic presidential nominee’s remarks.

Harris appeared on stage with former President Obama for the first time in the 2024 campaign season with the rally in the suburbs of the critical swing state.

A win in Georgia is critical for either Harris or Trump on the path to winning what could be one of the closest presidential elections in history on November 5.

After Obama spoke, Harris took the stage, but her usual walk-on song did not play leaving the 60-year-old to enter without the same energy seen at other rallies.

While the vast majority of attendees in the stadium stayed, dozens of people were spotted exiting the bleachers while she spoke.

Donald Trump and Kamala Harris are locked in a tie in a major new national poll.

Both the Republican and Democrat nominees are on 48 percent in the popular vote, according to the final New York Times and Siena College poll of theis election cycle.

The result is a bad sign for Harris as Democrats have held an edge in the popular vote in recent elections, even when their nominee has lost the Electoral College.

In 2020 Joe Biden beat Donald Trump by 4.4 percent in the popular vote.

Four years ealier, Hillary Clinton won the popular vote by 2.1 percent despite losing the Electoral College.

Harris has also fallen back slightly from the last time the New York Times poll was taken earlier this month, when she had a one point lead.

At this stage before the 2020 election polls showed Biden with a lead of 9 points in the popular vote.

And, at the same stage in 2016, the polls had Clinton leading Trump by six points nationally.

Ultimately, regardless of the popular vote, the election is set to be decided in seven key battleground states where Trump and Harris are also running neck and neck.

Kamala Harris fans walked out of her star-studded rally early on Thursday night with just 11 days until the election and polls showing the tide turning to Donald Trump.

The rivals in the presidential race campaigned in battleground states to make their final pleas to undecided voters in what is shaping up to be one of the closest elections in history.

A record-breaking 29 million people have already cast ballots either in-person early or by mail in a campaign that will go down to the wire.

The vice president is bringing in political powerhouses and celebrities to help her with her closing argument. Beyoncé Knowles is scheduled to perform alongside her in Texas on Friday.
