Democrats plagued by ‘existential dread’ as Trump keeps race on razor’s edge

By Naomi Lim, Mabinty Quarshie and Cami Mondeaux | Washington Examiner Democratic euphoria over Vice President Kamala Harris has been replaced by panic as former President Donald Trump makes marginal gains in a close presidential race. Democrats find themselves in much better place than two months ago, when President Joe Biden trailed Trump across the battleground map. Harris has pulled within the margin of error from Pennsylvania to Wisconsin since taking over the ticket. Yet her perceived inability to connect with traditionally Democratic voters has cast a pall over the polls showing a toss-up race. Harris is underperforming Biden with black voters by 10 points, according to a recent survey from the New York Times and Siena College, while blue-colla...

Democrats concerned Harris has ‘until the end of this week’ to reach undecided voters

By Naomi Lim | Washington Examiner Democrats are worried the window for Vice President Kamala Harris to persuade undecided voters is closing despite her campaign’s more aggressive strategy. Harris is encountering difficulties connecting with members of the traditional Democratic base, including black and Latino men, and those undecided voters could decide the election. With less than three weeks until Nov. 5, Democrats, including South Carolina state Sen. Dick Harpootlian, concede the “persuasion piece” of the 2024 election “is over,” or it will be “by the end of this week.” “People will have made up their minds,” Harpootlian told the Washington Examiner. “I don’t think anybody’s going to walk into that voting booth or two days ...

Election win odds sour further on Harris after Fox interview

By Paul Bedard | Washington Examiner Vice President Kamala Harris did not win over election gamblers, who drove her chances of victory down further. Among two of the largest election gambling aggregate sites, former President Donald Trump now holds his biggest advantage in weeks. Mark Mitchell, the head pollster at Rasmussen Reports, made a comment on X that echoed many suggesting that Harris did little to expand her base. “Did Harris realize she was supposed to be picking up new voters? Because that’s not what she did,” he wrote. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER

Iran cuts off indirect communication line with U.S. amid escalating tension

By Brady Knox | Washington Examiner The Iranian government cut off indirect communication with the United States as tensions in the region continue to rise. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told reporters that a vital deescalation method had been cut off due to the changing situation with Israel. “Due to the situation in the region, we have stopped exchanging indirect messages with America,” he said. “Currently we don’t see any ground for these talks, until we can get past the current crisis,” Araghchi added.

Harris’s media blitz of border security lies and deceit

By Christopher Tremoglie, Commentary  | Washington Examiner Vice President Kamala Harris has kicked up her media appearances over the last few days, and it hasn’t gone well. From television interviews to radio programs to podcasts, the appointed Democratic nominee for president has decided to stop hiding from interviews after early voting has started in the country and with less than a month until Election Day. Yet one thing has remained consistent in her campaign: She continues to ignore, deceive, and lie about her horrific political record — especially on border security and immigration. By every available metric and analysis of Harris’s record on immigration since she has been vice president and border czar, it is abundantly clear she has a horrible record...

DHS confirms the Kamala Harris parole program is a national security risk

By The Washington Examiner The catch-and-release migrant programs created by President Joe Biden and endorsed by Vice President Kamala Harris have increased national security risks, according to the independent watchdog that oversees the Department of Homeland Security. The DHS Office of Inspector General released a report last week finding that Customs and Border Protection is releasing noncitizens without identification into the United States, contrary to federal law, in a manner that “inadvertently increases national security risks.” The same report also found that the Transportation Security Administration then lets these same unidentified noncitizens onto airplanes, where they are free to fly wherever they wish in the U.S. According to the report, CBP encountered 2.4 million ...

‘This thing is a long way from decided’: Carville predicts one candidate will carry swing states

By Zach LaChance | Washington Examiner Democratic strategist James Carville predicted that the swing states in the 2024 election will nearly all go to one candidate, rather than either former President Donald Trump or Vice President Kamala Harris narrowly winning the majority of them. Speaking on CNN, Carville was asked, “If it’s the economy, stupid,” why Harris isn’t ahead in the presidential race after recent positive economic news, including declining inflation and a stronger-than-expected jobs report. “You know, she’s slightly ahead. It’s not the election. These things tend to break one way or the other at the end. There’s seven swing states. The least likely result is they break 4-3. But I can’t stop the commentariat from saying it’s going to be ...

Supreme Court to decide if Mexico can sue firearms makers over cartel violence

By Kaelan Deese | Washington Examiner The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to review a significant case that could determine whether Mexico can bring a $10 billion lawsuit against U.S. gun manufacturers for allegedly facilitating the flow of firearms to drug cartels. The case, revived by a federal appeals court, challenges the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA), a 2005 law that generally shields gun manufacturers from civil liability when their products are used in criminal activities. A lower court initially dismissed Mexico’s lawsuit based on this law, but the 1st Circuit Court ruled that Mexico’s claims fit an exemption in the PLCAA, allowing the suit to move forward. Mexico argues that U.S. gun manufacturers, such as Smith & Wesson, are culp...

Jack Smith lays out 2020 election case against Trump in newly unsealed filing

By Kaelan Deese | Washington Examiner Special counsel Jack Smith on Wednesday provided additional details on former President Donald Trump’s alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election, offering a plan to disprove what he called Trump’s “false claims” about election fraud and fight against the Supreme Court’s immunity decision. The 165-page motion, unsealed Wednesday by U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, includes new revelations about plans by a Trump campaign employee and alleged co-conspirator to incite chaos at a ballot-processing center in Detroit. According to one section of the lengthy filing, a 2020 Trump campaign employee allegedly aimed to disrupt operations at Detroit’s TCF Center, a key site for vote counting in Michigan.

Gen Z’ers are getting fired by businesses at shocking levels. Here’s why.

By Brad Polumbo | Washington Examiner It’s tough to keep a job these days. At least, it’s proving tough for many members of Generation Z, young adults born after 1997, because they’re getting fired at shocking levels, according to a new survey from Intelligent.com.  An astounding six in 10 employers surveyed have already fired college graduates they’d only brought on earlier this year, the Daily Mail reports of the survey. One in seven businesses added that they may not hire recent college graduates next year due to the problems they’ve encountered.  What’s wrong with these young employees? “Business leaders listed concerns in areas such as communications skills and professionalism that made them wary of hiring Gen Z,” the Daily Mail says. “They al...
