Democrats fear race may be slipping away from Harris

By Amie Parnes  | The Hill There is growing fear in Democratic circles that the presidential race could be slipping further away from Vice President Harris. To be sure, Democrats still think Harris can defeat former President Trump. The margins are so close in the seven battleground states likely to decide the contest, a shift toward either candidate or a mistake in the polling could be decisive.  At the same time, Democrats are privately expressing worry that battleground polling appears to be moving in Trump’s direction over the last two weeks.

Dems, corporate media rushed to cite FBI data showing crime decrease — experts say the numbers are flawed

By Wallace White | Daily Caller The FBI quietly revised its 2022 data to reflect an increase in crime after initially reporting it had decreased, and experts say that the flawed figures are just the tip of the iceberg. It was initially reported that violent crime decreased by 2.1% in 2022, but the Bureau suddenly revised that figure, revealing that violent crime increased by 4.5% instead. Experts told the Daily Caller News Foundation that the FBI’s metrics are plagued with problems, such as incomplete data collection, confusion about reporting standards, the omission of unreported crime as well as the inherent problems of measuring crime nationally. Democrats, corporate media outlets and political pundits have routinely cited the FBI’s data to claim that crime has gone down under ...

Davidson: Kamala Harris is priming Democrats for violent resistance if Trump wins

By John Daniel Davidson | Commentary, The Federalist By now it’s commonplace to note that Kamala Harris often seems out of her depth, like she’s unsure what to say about policy, or how to explain her past positions, or why she hasn’t already done the things she’s promised to do if she’s elected given that she’s the current vice president. But on one particular subject she’s been consistent and forceful throughout her campaign. She’s adamant that Donald Trump will destroy America if he’s reelected. And not “destroy” in the sense of enact bad policies, but that he’ll round people up with the military and put them in camps. She talks about this all the time now. At one point during her Wednesday evening interview with Bret Baier on Fox News, she became visibly upset after Baier playe...

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 ...

Parnes: Democrats fear Harris losing too many male voters to Trump

By Amie Parnes, Commentary | The Hill Democrats are worried Vice President Harris is failing to make inroads with men in the final weeks of the presidential campaign. A string of polls out this week show that while Harris is outperforming former President Trump with women, she is not moving the needle with male voters, in some cases trailing the former president by more than a dozen points in battleground state polls. This week, a New York Times/Siena College survey of likely male voters showed Trump with a sizable lead nationally — 51 percent to 40 percent — over Harris. Democratic strategists have also sounded the alarm that she needs to increase her numbers with Black and Latino men if she wants to defeat Trump, who has increased his numbers with both voting blocs.

Some Dems won’t commit to certifying election results if Trump wins

By Nick Pope | Daily Caller Several senior Democrats in Congress would not commit to certifying the results of the 2024 presidential election if former President Donald Trump wins when asked by Axios. Many House Democrats have slammed House Speaker Mike Johnson for hedging his language about whether the GOP House majority would certify the results of the election if Vice President Kamala Harris wins, but Democrats like Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland are doing the same thing, Axios reported. If Trump “won a free, fair and honest election, then we would obviously accept it,” Raskin told Axios. However, the lawmaker “definitely” will not assume that Trump would win by honest means.

Democrats privately worry the Teamsters non-endorsement is a warning sign

By Holly Otterbein and Elena Schneider | Politico Eight years after Donald Trump shattered the Blue Wall, some Democrats worry he could do it again. Most polls show Kamala Harris tied or leading Trump in the critical battleground states of Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin after a commanding performance at the debate. Party leaders are projecting confidence publicly. But on the ground, jittery elected officials, strategists and allies are quietly pointing to warning signs for the vice president. The Teamsters withholding an endorsement from Harris this week — after internal polling showed most respondents backing Trump — is sparking fresh concerns that the GOP nominee could have higher-than-expected support among union members, especially men. Labor leaders in other sectors att...
