Trump rally live updates: Presidential election forecast reveals a huge change in momentum for Harris

Advertisement

Donald Trump and Kamala Harris are spending their final weekend on the campaign trail with just three days before what could be one of the closest elections in history.

More than 70 millions of Americans have already cast their ballots, but the candidates are still pushing to persuade the final critical voters who could take them to victory. 

DailyMail.com’s polling partners J.L. Partners show Harris has the momentum going into sprint before November 5, with the race trending into tossup territory. 

Both are holding rallies in the critical swing state of North Carolina where the polls have the race deadlocked. 

Trump will also take the stage in Virginia, where he is trailing in the polls.

Momentum shifts to Harris in our election model: Trump loses seven points in five days

From Rob Crilly, Chief U.S. Political Correspondent for DailyMail.com

The number crunchers at J.L. Partners have delivered their latest update for our election model. And it is more bad news for Donald Trump.

The model is trending away from LEAN Trump into TOSSUP territory. Trump remains the favorite, and he wins in 62.2 percent of simulations. But that is a drop of 2.5 points since Friday and he has now lost seven points in five days, reflecting a string of polls favorable to Kamala Harris.

All the swing states have seen movement against Trump.

Arizona -Trump’s win probability has decreased by 2 points. It remains a LIKELY TRUMP state.

Georgia – Trump’s win probability dropped by 2.8 points. It remains a LIKELY TRUMP state although is on the cusp of being classified down to LEAN TRUMP.

Michigan – Trump’s win probability dropped by 2.5 points. It remains a TOSSUP TRUMP but is less than 1 point from flipping back to Harris.

Nevada – Trump’s win probability decreased by 2.3 points, undoing yesterday’s increase. The state remains LEAN TRUMP.

North Carolina – a two-point movement against Trump. The state remains a LIKELY TRUMP state.

Pennsylvania – a 1.4-point movement against Trump. The state remains LEAN TRUMP state.

Wisconsin – a two-point movement against Trump. The state remains a TOSSUP TRUMP state.

Callum Hunter, J.L. Partners’ data scientist, writes in his latest briefing note:

It is now clear that the momentum of recent polling is in Harris’ favour. Trump’s win probability has dropped 7 points in five days and if more polling is released that shows similar patterns from recent days then the race will flip from LEAN Trump to TOSSUP before election day.

A slew of state polling (including non-battleground states) is responsible for that shift, he continues.

The key thing is to note where this momentum is concentrated. The biggest shifts over the past week have been in the Rust Belt states (MI +8.4% Harris, PA +7.2% Harris and WI +6.5% Harris) – states that are key for Harris to win if she wants to win the Electoral College. Whether this momentum has come too late in the day is hard to say – it is likely that Michigan will swap back to Harris in the coming days and Wisconsin will continue to narrow.

Kamala urges voters to ‘turn page’ on Trump in North Carolina

Where will the candidates campaign on Sunday?

As the campaign enters its final 72 hours, Donald Trump and Kamala Harris will keep focusing on the swing states.

Trump will head to Pennsylvania, Georgia and North Carolina while Harris will be making multiple stops in Michigan.

Michigan is a vulnerable spot for Harris and is one of the seven battlegrounds that could be decided by razor-thin margins.

Anger from Arab-American voters in the state over U.S.support Israel could significantly cut into her support.

Trump has also received endorsements from prominent Muslim groups and support for third party candidate Jill Stein could be what splits the difference.

Donald Trump cursed he’s having a ‘bad hair day’ during his Salem rally.

‘I’m having a bad hair day, this is not good,’ he said abruptly after seemingly catching a glimpse of his appearance in one of the video feeds on the many screens.

‘I have to have a bad hair day in front of Virginia?’ he said.

Woman goes to extraordinary measure to vote after being ordered to take off her MAGA merch

A New Jersey woman voted in her bra after being told to take off her MAGA hat and shirt while early voting.

An unidentified woman in Hamilton Township was told she had to take off her MAGA hat and her Donald Trump shirt before she was allowed to vote at the Colonial Fire House, according to NJ.com.

‘I asked her to remove her hat and said if you want to go get a jacket from your car, I will hold your place in line or you could go into the bathroom to turn the shirt inside out,’ Jill Moyer, the chair of the Mercer County Board of Elections, told NJ.com.

But before Moyer could finish her statement, the older woman ripped her shirt off and ‘flung it around’ and started calling poll workers ‘nasty’ names.

She then proceeded to quickly vote with just a bra on her upper half and left before police could arrive, according to Moyer.

On her way out the door, she reportedly ‘gave the finger’ and told poll workers to ‘suck my c**t,’ a witness told NJ.com

Trump says he could be ‘smacked’ in the face by waves at the beach and not running for president

Jon Michael Raasch, Political Reporter for DailyMail.com

The former president wants his audience to know he has options and does not have to be president.

‘I could’ve been on a gorgeous beach, I like oceanfront property. My beautiful white skin getting nice and…begin smacked in the face with a wave,’ the 45th president mused with a smile.

‘I could’ve had the greatest life in the world except I’m missing a little piece of my ear,’ he joked of his July near-assassination in Butler.

President Trump invited members of the Roanoke College women’s swimming team to take the stage alongside him on Saturday.

The female team wore bright pink shirts that read ‘keep’ and then a picture of a hot dog ‘out of women’s sports.’

Trump then had the entire team introduce themselves one by one

The stunt was a nod at Republicans’ recent attacks on transgender athletes playing in female sports.

Man in ‘Let’s Go Brandon’ hat gets in fight at South Carolina polling place

Protesters interrupt Harris again in Charlotte

By Geoff Earle, Deputy U.S. Political Editor for DailyMail.com in Charlotte, North Carolina

Vice President Kamala Harris had to contend with multiple protesters who interrupted her speech in Charlotte on Saturday, although she once again quickly found a way to move on with her remarks.

‘You know what, one of the reasons we are here is we are fighting for our democracy,’ she said after the first interruption, as crowd members cheered ‘Kamala!’

‘That’s okay, ya’ll. Democracy can be complicated. It’s alright.

This is what democracy looks like,’ she said, as a man wearing a face mask with a camouflage baseball cap got escorted out of the venue.

During another interruption, by a protester who was waving a flag of the Democratic Republic of the Congo as he was taken outside, Harris referenced Israel’s war in Gaza. ‘It’s all good. We all want that war in the Middle East to end,’ she said. ‘If I were president, I would do anything in my power to make It stop,’ she said.

It’s just the latest in a series of interruptions that have accompanied speeches first by President Joe Biden, and then by VP Harris as she seeks the White House.

Exclusive:The stunning gender divide between Trump and Harris in the 2024 election is laid bare in new poll

If 2016 was the education election, when voters divided depending on whether or not they had been to college, then 2024 is shaping up to be a battle of the sexes.

The full extent of the gender divide in America is laid bare in the latest DailyMail.com/J.L. Partners.

It found that former President Donald Trump has widened his lead with men, and now has a 22-point advantage over his opponent among male voters.

At the same time, Vice President Kamala Harris has extended her lead among female voters, and is up by 14 points with women.

It is an extraordinary number in a race that has been otherwise tight.

How crypto’s $200million 2024 election bet has made digital currency a top campaign issue

Even if you don’t know a blockchain from a NFT, the numbers are hard to dismiss.

More than $200 million from cryptocurrency companies is expected to be pumped into the 2024 election cycle..

The tech industry is working overtime to boost its political influence as more Americans every day to use it as payment.

And the emerging tech giants aren’t selectively backing Republicans or Democrats -any candidate, from president all the way down to small congressional districts, who champions crypto puts themselves in a position to score the big bucks.

But will the political plays by so-called ‘Big Crypto’ pay off in the long run?

Crypto, which includes Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin and more, is a form of digital currency that can be used to make ‘decentralized’ transactions online without oversight by a bank or government.

The industry is keen on having a less-regulated playing field to serve as a sandbox for development of crypto. Opponents and monetary traditionalists, meanwhile, want additional regulations on the alternative, digital currencies.

Fairshake, a political action committee (PAC), and others pushing pro-crypto legislation are going big with nearly $119 million already spent out of $200 million raised.

And billionaire former President Donald Trump weighing in on the importance of the alternative financial industry as he campaigns for a White House return shows that it isn’t going away anytime soon.

Where Donald Trump and Kamala Harris stand on 15 key issues in the 2024 election

In what is shaping up to be one of the closest elections in U.S. history, the difference between the candidates could not be more stark.

Donald Trump and Kamala Harris have laid out two visions for America that are poles apart during the unprecedented 2024 campaign for the White House.

The rivals have each painted one another as extreme. They both warn their opponent will be a disaster for America.

It means that on November 5 there is a stark choice when it comes to the economy, foreign policy, immigration, crime, abortion and taxes.

Whether they will be able to implement their wish list depends on a number of factors, including which party controls Congress.

But their grand plans are a crucial indicator in what four years of a Trump or Harris administration would look like.

Living on Trump island: Tiny boat-filled inlet prepares to vote for Donald… despite being surrounded by Democrats

Locals of a tiny California town are turning out in their droves to back Donald Trump for the presidency, despite being in a Democratic heartland.

Discovery Bay, on the east of Contra Costa County, in the San Francisco bay area hosts just a single supermarket, as well as a harbor and yacht club.

The town is an anomaly in the largely Democratic state of California, with the majority of residents supporting Trump in the 2020 election.

Harrison Ford makes rare presidential endorsement: ‘I’ve never wanted to talk about it’

Actor Harrison Ford has revealed he will be backing Kamala Harris for the presidency with just days until the election.

The 82-year-old star said in a dramatic black-and-white clip that he would be backing the incumbent Vice President and expressed concerns about Donald Trump.

The Indiana Jones actor said: ‘I’ve been voting for 64 years, never really wanted to talk about it very much, but when dozens of former members of the Trump administration are sounding alarms, saying “for god sake don’t do this again”, you have to pay attention.

‘They’re telling us something important, these aren’t soft people. They are governors, generals, standing up against the leader of the party they spent their lives advocating for.’

Ford explained that in some cases people will be voting Democrat for the first time in their life over fears of Trump winning the race to the White House.

Rashida Tlaib refuses to endorse Kamala Harris for president

The first Palestinian-American in Congress is the only member of Congress’ progressive group ‘The Squad’ to have not backed the Democratic presidential candidate.

The congresswoman from Michigan’s 12th district has been one of the most vocal critics of the Biden-Harris administration’s role in the Gaza war.

Kamala Harris’ potential cabinet candidates include Pete Buttigieg, Liz Cheney, and a defund the police activist

As speculation mounts about what a Kamala Harris cabinet might look like if she wins, Washington politicos are curious: Will she push for a continuation of the Biden administration or try to unburden herself from his record and chart a fresh course?

For her first three years as vice president, Harris was burdened by Biden’s close-knit staff, who held her at an arm’s length but a win in the Nov. 5 election would afford her the opportunity to clean house and set her own agenda – and legacy.

If elected, Harris would strike three firsts, as not only the the first woman president but also, first black female and first South Asian elected to the nation’s highest office.

Could voters in CANADA decide the 2024 election outcome?

Across the United States, Democrats are out knocking on doors and rallying support in the final frantic days of the presidential election.

But north of the border in Canada, a flurry of activity has also been underway.

The presidential race between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris appears could be decided by just a few thousand votes.

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 abroad where adult U.S. citizens are living is Canada.

Some 605,000 Americans of voting age 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.

Donald Trump warned that suburban residents were ‘under attack’ by criminals, while his Democratic rival Kamala Harris said he was becoming increasingly unstable.

The former president was campaigning in Gastonia, North Carolina, with just three days until Election Day.

The polls are historically close and the unprecdented race could be decided by just a few thousand votes in one of the battleground states.

Trump on Saturday reiterated his vow to deport millions of immigrants if elected.

He also warned that if Harris were to win, ‘every town in America would be turned into a squalid, dangerous refugee camp.’

It is just further evidence of everything that I’ve actually been talking about for months now, about [former President Donald] Trump’s intention to implement Project 2025.

We have talked repeatedly — and the American people know what’s in it — we’ve talked repeatedly about their intention to get rid of the Affordable Care Act. Now to get rid of the CHIPS Act.

Is it too little, too late for Kamala Harris?

Days to go and desperate to fend off Donald Trump’s ‘poll vault’, Saint Kamala – canonized at convention – has come off the mountain and dived into the gutter.

Joy is so last summer. From her ‘great debate’ to now peddling hate, the name-calling (#garbagegate), finger-pointing and flip-flopping is hurting her dearly.

Where did it all go wrong? Well, not that Misogynist Mark Cuban would have you believe it, but I know a thing or two about how to run (and win!) a presidential campaign.

Here are the hard truths someone should have told Kamala, who’s had a ghoulish October:

Singer songwriter Victoria Monet became the latest celebrity to endorse Kamala Harris during her rally in Georgia on Saturday.

The 35-year-old year took the stage and took a different approach with a rallying cry to undecided voters.

‘I challenge you to make sure that your friends, your family, your neighbors, your coworkers, your booty call,’ to vote, she told the crowd in Atlanta.

‘That guy, that gay guy got-‘

He proceeds to trail off – before laughing off what Harris’s team now says was a slip.

Rally-goers at Kamala Harris’ Atlanta rally gave her a strong sign they have already put in their votes for her.

‘Let me ask you this: Anybody here already voted? Well thank you!’ Harris told the crowd, after getting a big response.

But she didn’t give a hard time to procrastinators, as the two campaigns fight for the shriveling number of undecided voters.

‘No judgment – but you still have time!’ she told them. And in a state with ID checks, she told them, ‘Remember to bring your photo ID,’ after asking Georgians for their vote.

Her comments came after Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger reported that early voting had topped 4 million, surpassing 50 percent of the state’s total vote.

After blasting Donald Trump over his shooting comments about Liz Cheney, Harris leaned into her stump speech where she pledged to seek ‘common ground’ and be president ‘for all Americans.’

She also played medic, calling out to people in the crowd who needed help. ‘And it looks like we need a medic over there – it’s hot out here, Atlanta,’ she said.

Social media X has since erupted with a spate of comments over the widely shared footage.

One person commented on the short clip, which has been viewed over 14 million times: ‘Doesn’t look like his first time either.’

Biden went on a tangent about Trump’s proposed tax cuts saying it could be ‘tempting’ for voters.

But he went on to slam ‘Trump and his friends’:

I tell you what man, we used to have a little trouble going down the plot once in a while. But I’m serious, these are the kind of guys you like to smack in the a**.

By the way, I’m serious. Think about it.

The crowd erupted into applause and laughter.

He went on to talk about his son Beau who ‘gave his life for this country’ and Trump’s ‘sucker and losers’ comments about the military.

Trump: ‘I have put everything on the line for you, including my life itself – and I need you to show up and vote for me’

He urged a huge crowd in the battkeground state to head to the polls in three days if they weren’t part of the 70 million who have done so already.

The former president then reeled off a list of his policies, including removing tax on tips and overtime.

The Republican nominee also tore into Harris over the jobs report released on Friday that missed expectations.

‘We lost nearly 30,000 private sector jobs, along with nearly 50,000 manufacturing jobs in a single month.

‘We cannot take four more years of this calamity.’

Exclusive:More than half of Americans aren’t convinced Kamala Harris worked at McDonald’s, poll shows

A new poll shows that a significant number of Americans are less likely to believe Vice President Kamala Harris’ claim that she worked at McDonald’s when she was in college.

The Democratic presidential has used her story of serving fries and ice cream at a franchise in Alameda, California, to bolster an image that of coming from humble roots.

But 58 percent of likely American voters expressed some doubt or outright disbelief in the claim, according to a Daily Mail/J.L. Partners poll.

Thirty-seven percent of voters said they did not believe her claim and 21 percent of voters in the poll said they were ‘unsure.’

Just 43 percent of likely American voters said they believed Harris’ claim

The survey included 1,003 likely voters and was conducted October 27-29 with a margin of error of three percent.

Why the pollsters got it wrong in the 2016 and 2020 elections and what they could have missed this time

After legal challenges and weeks of recounting votes, the dust settled on the 2020 election with a narrow Joe Biden victory by roughly 40,000 votes in a handful of key states.

It was a far cry from the drubbing of Donald Trump that polls had predicted.

Major presidential polling averages had shown that then-candidate Joe Biden was ahead of then-President Donald Trump by a staggering seven to eight points on Election Day.

Individual polls were more egregiously faulty, with some showing Biden could be expected to cruise to victory by a 9, 10 or even 11-point margin.

Those forecasts turned out to be wildly wrong.

Fake Trump statement raging at New York for ‘euthanizing’ Peanut the Squirrel goes viral

Peanut the squirrel and his owners, Mark Longo and his wife, Daniela, are seen in Peanut's Instagram videos and stills. The owners of a pet squirrel with a massive social media following are going nuclear on government officials in New York ... accusing the state of abusing power and wasting taxpayer funds to seize and kill Peanut, all because of some anonymous claims.

Social media was awash with a fake statement purporting to be from Donald Trump raging at the death of viral sensation Peanut the Squirrel.

New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) confirmed the home of Peanut’s owner Mark Longo had been raided.

Afterward, Peanut and fellow TikTok star Fred The Racoon were euthanized.

Their deaths sparked a frenzy on social media that quickly spurned the spread of fake news.

The statement from the Trump-Vance camp turned out to be a hoax, but not before it went viral.

There have been horrible reports out of New York, my former home state, where state environmental agents raided the home of Mark Longo and his wife. Mark was taken into custody for hours while officials searched his home and eventually took two of their pets, Fred the Raccoon and Peanut the Squirrel. These animals were later executed by the state of New York.

New York authorities, under their terrible Governor, put more effort in finding an eliminating a squirrel, who was innocent by all accounts, than they do to control the unchecked illegal immigrants who have flooded their state. If Peanut could have told them he was from Mexico, they would have sent him on his way and given him a hotel room and a $500 gift card to Buddy Squirrel. Instead, he was taken from his family. Very sad, and a complete waste of resources! When we win, we will get our priorities in order and MAGA!

Democrat Kamala Harris and Republican Donald Trump head to North Carolina on Saturday to try to clinch support in the battleground state just three days before Tuesday’s presidential election.

Trump has a slight advantaged over Harris in recent polls in the state. Harris would be the first Democrat to win in 40 years if she snatches victory.

It will be the fourth day in a row that Vice President Harris and former President Trump visit the same state on the same day, underlining the critical importance of the seven states likely to decide the race, which opinion polls show to be on a knife’s edge.

More than 70 million Americans have already cast ballots, according to the Election Lab at the University of Florida.

The numbers are below the record early-voting pace in 2020 during COVID-19, but still indicating a high level of voter enthusiasm.

‘On my way to North Carolina to speak to a crowd so large that it goes beyond the beautiful horizon, and this, after a huge Rally in Milwaukee, in the Great State of Wisconsin, last night, in front of over 30,000 American Patriots!, Trump wrote on Truth Social this morning.

‘Low Energy Democrat Candidate Lyin’ Kamala Harris, was also in Milwaukee yesterday, spending millions of Taxpayer Dollars on the trip, all to speak in front of only 900 people, and most of them were my supporters.

‘They witnessed a person who is totally confused and tired. She is a Low IQ individual, not equipped to be President, and that’s why she can’t draw a crowd.

‘We have people lining up for days, all over our soon to be magnificent Nation. Kamala is slumping to the finish line, yawning, shrieking, and cackling, while I am working 24/7 to win this Election, so we can save our Country and, Make America Great Again!’

Donald Trump doubled down on his attacks on Liz Cheney and insisted he hadn’t heard the ‘floating island of garbage’ joke about Puerto Rico that sparked fury at his Madison Square Garden rally.

The former president spoke to Fox and Friends about the response to claims that Cheney should be sent to war and have ‘nine barrels shooting at her’.

Trump has stood by the comments, even after Kamala Harris called them ‘disqualifying’ and Cheney said they were proof he is a fascist

The Republican nominee slammed the ‘media hoax’ in the aftermath of the remarks with Tucker Carlson.

‘All I’m saying is she was a nutty war hawk, you know, she wants to go to war with anybody that moves,’ Trump said.

He added that ‘she was a nut job just like her father,’ former Republican Vice President Dick Cheney, the architect of President George W. Bush’s foreign policy in the Middle East.

Trump added that Cheney is ‘probably worse’ than her father ‘cause she’s not as smart’.

Later in the Fox News interview, Trump also insisted that he hadn’t heard comedian and podcaster Tony Hinchcliffe’s joke.

He also defended his record by saying ‘nobody’s been better for Puerto Rico than me’.

Why Donald Trump won’t attend Penn State football game

Reports last month claimed Trump was set to watch the game in the pivotal swing state of Pennsylvania just three days before the election.

According to Yahoo! Sports’ Ross Dellenger, Trump’s team had been making plans for him to attend the matchup after he was invited by a ‘private citizen’.

But a Penn State spokesman has now confirmed that the former president will not stop by.

They said: ‘The University has been notified that former President Donald Trump will no longer be attending the Ohio State-Penn State football game.’

The No. 3 Nittany Lions will host the No. 4 Buckeyes in a massive Big Ten clash.

The game is scheduled to kick off at 12pm ET but Trump has other arrangements as he looks to secure a return to the White House in the coming days.

Supreme Court allows Pennsylvania to count contested provisional ballots in blow for Republicans

The Supreme Court on Friday rejected an emergency appeal from Republicans that could have led to thousands of provisional ballots not being counted in the battleground state.

The justices left in place a state Supreme Court ruling that elections officials must count provisional ballots cast by voters whose mail-in ballots were rejected.

As of Thursday, about 9,000 ballots out of more than 1.6 million returned have arrived at elections offices around Pennsylvania lacking a secrecy envelope, a signature or a date, according to state records.

Pennsylvania is the biggest presidential election battleground this year, with 19 electoral votes.

Pressure mounts on George W.Bush to endorse presidential candidate as his daughter campaigns for Kamala Harris

George W. Bush has been urged to endorse Kamala Harris in the upcoming election after his daughter Barbara canvassed for the Democratic nominee.

Speaking on The New Yorker Radio Hour podcast, former GOP representative Liz Cheney urged the former president to speak out on the dangers of Donald Trump.

Cheney, daughter of Bush’s former Vice President Dick Cheney, said: ‘I can’t explain why [he] hasn’t spoken out, but I think it’s time, and I wish that he would.’

The elder Cheney has already crossed party lines and said Trump should ‘never be trusted with power again’, with his daughter confirming he was backing Harris.

With Barbara Bush, 42, canvassing in Pennsylvania last week for Harris, pressure is starting to mount for the former commander-in-chief, 78, to pick a side.

Who is Donald Harris? Meet Kamala’s ‘Marxist’ father who lives very close to White House yet is nowhere to be found in VP’s life

Kamala Harris’ West Wing office is less than a mile from her father’s Washington, D.C. home.

But they could not be further apart.

Despite the proximity between father and world-famous daughter, there is no record of Donald, 86, ever having visited her in the White House.

His name does not appear in any of the publicly available visitor logs from her three-and-a-half years in office. Nor are there any recent public photographs of the pair together.

It is possible that the VP has privately hosted her father in her government-provided home – at the United States Naval Observatory in DC – where visitor records are not public.

But it is perhaps more likely that Donald Harris has kept a deliberate distance, determined to stay away from what he has described as the ‘political hullabaloo’ surrounding his daughter, whose controversial comments he once criticized as ‘a travesty’.

For her part, VP Harris has previously described their relationship as ‘not close’.

So just who is Donald Harris?

‘Nervous’ Bill Maher makes desperate plea to undecided voters – and reveals why Kamala could lose the election

Bill Maher has made an eleventh-hour plea to undecided voters as he warned the ‘progressive mind virus’ could hold Kamala Harris back from a win.

The comedian outlined the positive impact Biden and the Democrats have had on the economy, including aggressively tackling inflation.

But he admitted so-called Christmas Eve voters were probably seeking more reassurance Harris is not going to go along with ‘every anti-common sense idea that comes out of the woke mind virus’.

‘If she loses, that will be mainly why,’ Maher warned during an episode of his HBO show Real Time on Friday.

He suggested a fear among Dems of admitting things are ‘not that bad’, deemed ‘progressophobia’ is a part of the progressive mind virus and could be hampering their chances.

Inside the once blue heartland that could be surprise ‘swing state’ – as Dems prepare to do the unimaginable

New Hampshire has barely been mentioned in this presidential race, but a recent bump in Donald Trump’s polling suggests the Republican is reversing his opponent’s comfortable lead and could even flip the state in a dramatic upset on Tuesday.

In Concord, the state capital, GOP organizers have run out of Trump yard signs due to unexpected demand. In Pelham, scores of locals turned out to wave Trump flags, blast out rock anthems and feast on pizza and cookies on Wednesday night.

Down the road, motorists honked horns and stopped to take photos of a home-made yard sign presenting Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate, Tim Walz, as the goofy ‘Dumb and Dumber’ characters from the 1994 movie.

Republican campaigners in the Granite State describe an eleventh-hour ‘surge’ of enthusiasm for Trump that’s quickly erasing the roughly six percentage-point lead that Harris enjoyed here until recently.

Voters across New Hampshire told DailyMail.com they sensed momentum gathering behind the MAGA icon, and that his promises of a secure southern border and cheaper groceries and housing were resonating.

Cardi B faced with an awkward teleprompter mishap at Kamala Harris’ rally on Friday, and was forced to read her endorsement of the vice president from her phone.

The outspoken rapper was telling the packed crowd in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, that she ‘wasn’t going to vote’ until the Vice-President entered the race against ‘bully’ Trump.
