The Latest NBC Poll Data is Tearing Kamala Harris’s Advisors Apart.

With just 21 days before Election Day, new data suggests Vice President Kamala Harris is beginning to lose ground to President Donald J. Trump. Polling released over the weekend by NBC shows a deadlocked race; however, Harris has lost ground to Trump on several key voter issues and continues to see her favorability among the electorate slide.

“It is a tie game here weeks before the election,” explained Steve Kornacki, a national political correspondent with NBC News on Sunday. “[O]ur last poll taken in the wake of that September debate, Harris had opened up that advantage over Trump—gone in our new poll.”

According to the data, both Harris and Trump are slightly underwater in terms of favorability. Among respondents, 43 percent said they have a positive view of Trump, while 51 percent said they have a negative opinion. Meanwhile, Harris’s numbers were nearly the same as her Republican opponent’s, with 43 percent of respondents saying they had a positive opinion of her and 49 percent saying they had a negative opinion.

While Trump’s favorability remains relatively unchanged from the last NBC polls, Harris has seen a significant loss of ground. In September, 48 percent of respondents said they had a positive view of the Democratic Party nominee, while just 45 percent said they had a negative view.

Additionally, Trump has expanded his advantage among the electorate on several key voter issues. Trump now holds a 25-point edge on immigration and border security, up from 21 points in September. On the cost of living and inflation, Trump’s edge has grown from eight points last month to eleven points in October.

Harris, meanwhile, has lost ground as the ‘candidate of change,’ with her nine-point edge sliding to just five points over the last month.

Massive Surge in Chinese Immigrant Encounters at Border.

The number of Chinese migrants apprehended at the U.S.-Mexico border has increased significantly over the past two years, prompting concern from some lawmakers over national security and border policy. Data from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) indicates that encounters with Chinese migrants at the southwest border surged from less than 24,000 in 2023 to approximately 36,500 in 2024. This trend has drawn attention from the House Homeland Security Committee, led by Republicans, who attribute the rise to the Biden-Harris government’s weak border policies.

Tennessee Republican Mark Green, chairman of the committee, argues the “unprecedented number of Chinese nationals now illegally crossing our border is driven by the Biden and Harris policy of mass catch-and-release.”

“One chief patrol agent told my committee last year that, in his experience, the vast majority of Chinese nationals are coming for ‘work or a better life,’ which is not a valid ground for claiming asylum,” he said. “Yet, the majority are still being released into the interior anyway.”

Border crossings from various nationalities have risen, but those from China stand out, as China is an adversary state that could be using migration flows to undermine the U.S. or even embed spies within the country.

State Officials Probing Alleged Voter Registration Fraud.

The North Carolina State Board of Elections is probing allegations of voter registration fraud, according to a Brunswick County elections official. Sara LaVere, director of the Brunswick County Board of Elections, stated that 18 individuals contacted her office about not filling out forms submitted under their names.

“We noticed some information that was different than what we had on record, an address, Social Security number, so we sent a letter to those voters asking them to complete that information,” LaVere explained. “The [fraudulent] state voter registration forms appear to come from a voter registration drive.”

“The first thing I want to point out is, you know, we use words like ‘anomalies,’ ‘suspicion,’ and everything else because we try to be PC, I guess. But this is fraud, outright fraudulent behavior,” added Hamilton County Board of Elections member Alex Triantafilou.

Data suggest the 2020 election featured a significant amount of mail-in ballot fraud, with potentially one in five votes cast being fraudulent.

NO ACTION?

Brunswick County election officials have alerted the state’s board of elections but have not yet received a response regarding the investigation’s progress. State officials have not commented on whether there are suspects or arrests.

One local resident in Leland, North Carolina, Shelley Gentner, reported receiving a letter from the county Board of Elections in August. The letter requested validation of her voter information, accompanied by a registration form containing incorrect personal details and a forged signature.

“I’m like, ‘Okay, someone has signed my name on an application. It’s not my signature. It’s not me,’” Gentner said.

Such an act is illegal under North Carolina law, potentially resulting in a Class I felony.

Election integrity concerns have been compounded by aggressive voter registration efforts and the chaos caused by Hurricane Helene.

Ohio is also experiencing election integrity issues, with numerous counties investigating voter registration fraud. In Hamilton County, inconsistencies were found in voter registration applications, including one under the name of the late Henry Kissinger.

Trump’s Golf Plans Halted Until Post-Election Over Safety Concerns.

President Donald J. Trump is suspending his golfing activities due to security concerns. This decision follows conversations with federal agents, including Ronald Rowe, the Acting Director of the Secret Service, and officials from the Director of National Intelligence’s office, who expressed their inability to ensure his safety on golf courses.

They noted the difficulty in securing Trump adequately at golf courses, particularly those near public roads, after an incident in September involving an attempt to target Trump while he was golfing in Florida. The Democrat donor involved in the incident, Ryan Routh, was heavily tied to Ukraine and attempted to help the country recruit foreign fighters after its full-scale invasion by Russia in 2022. He has been charged with the attempted assassination but has pleaded not guilty.

Trump, known for his frequent golfing outings, reportedly expressed a strong desire to continue the activity. However, he was advised that considerable additional security would be necessary to mitigate potential threats.

The Secret Service had previously raised similar concerns about the risks associated with Trump’s golf outings during his presidency. Former officials indicated that these outings posed security challenges, as long-range lenses could expose him to danger.

Trump’s security challenge during golf outings is compounded by the fact that he no longer receives the same level of protection as a sitting president.

So far, there have been two major attempts on Trump’s life during the presidential campaign, including when he was shot by Thomas Matthew Crooks in Butler, Pennsylvania, in July.

Other reports have claimed that multiple assassination teams, some linked to Iran, are also targeting Trump. The Trump campaign has now requested military aircraft and other measures in the final month of the 2024 campaign in response to the heightened threat.

Bidenomics: 7-Eleven to Shutter HUNDREDS of Stores Nationwide.

Major convenience store chain 7-Eleven will close over 400 of its locations across North America, according to a report released by its Japan-based parent company, Seven & I Holdings. The closures will impact around three percent of the approximately 13,000 stores in the U.S. and Canada. This move comes as certain stores are experiencing declines in sales, reduced customer visits, and pressures from inflation—highlighted in the company’s quarterly earnings report.

Declining cigarette sales have significantly impacted revenue, with a 26 percent drop since 2019. Although alternative nicotine products have grown in popularity, they have not compensated for the decrease in cigarette sales, Seven & I Holdings noted.

Seven & I Holdings acknowledged that the North American economy is currently supported by expenditures from high-income earners despite ongoing inflation, high interest rates, and a challenging employment landscape. The company observed a trend of more cautious spending among middle-income and low-income consumers.

7-Eleven has not disclosed specific details on which stores will be closed or the timeline for the closures. A company statement mentioned the continuous evaluation and optimization of its store network as part of a broader growth strategy. The aim is to maintain service where and when it is needed while eliminating locations considered “noncore” to the company’s long-term objectives.

Inflation and rampant retail crime under the Biden-Harris government have wreaked havoc on the U.S. economy. Earlier this month, CVS—a major U.S. pharmacy and retail chain—announced it is laying off nearly 3,000 employees. The company also cited high inflation, declining consumption, and lost revenue due to theft as the cause of the layoffs.

Slick Willie Emerges for Kamala.

Vice President Kamala Harris’s 2024 presidential campaign is enlisting the support of former U.S. President Bill Clinton, also known as ‘Slick Willie,’ in another attempt to lure back male voters who are abandoning the Democratic Party in droves. The sobriquet was also used by Harris’s old lover and once-San Francisco Mayor, Willie Brown, who gave the Vice President her start in politics via a sexual relationship.

In recent weeks, support for the Harris campaign appears to have stalled out—with rural men and young black men becoming increasingly turned off by the Democratic Party nominee.

Hoping to turn around her prospects—especially among male voters—Harris has been forced to turn to former President Clinton and former President Barack Obama, as well as Senator John Fetterman (D-PA), to act as campaign surrogates in critical swing states. The move comes after failed attempts by the 2024 Democratic Party’s vice presidential nominee, Governor Tim Walz (D-MN), and Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff to win over crucial male support.

Former President Clinton’s activities begin in Georgia this Sunday and Monday, followed by a bus tour in North Carolina, contingent on recovery from recent hurricanes. The campaign’s focus targets counties previously won by President Donald J. Trump. Clinton, 78, aims to reengage voters who supported him during his successful 1992 presidential bid when he carried Georgia.

Unlike conventional rallies, Clinton will attend local fairs and porch gatherings, speaking to smaller crowds, reminiscent of his early campaign style from the 1992 New Hampshire primary. Economic topics will be at the forefront of Clinton’s discussions, in alignment with themes he has emphasized since the Democratic National Convention (DNC) this past summer.

The campaign tour by the former president mirrors a smaller initiative in Pennsylvania spearheaded by Sen. Fetterman. The National Pulse previously reported that Fetterman will attend over a half dozen events across rural Pennsylvania in the final weeks before the election.

Chinese Govt Auto Exec Donated to Harris After Biden Provided Subsidies.

An executive at an American subsidiary of a Chinese electric vehicle (EV) firm made significant donations to the election campaign for Joe Biden—and later Kamala Harris—after her company received financial backing from the U.S. government. Ke Li, president of BYD Americas, contributed $33,400 to what was originally the Biden Victory Fund, now renamed the Harris Victory Fund. Additionally, Li made two $3,300 donations to the Biden campaign, now the Harris campaign.

BYD Americas is one of the primary beneficiaries of the Inflation Reduction Act‘s electric vehicle tax credit, despite the Biden-Harris government’s insistence that the subsidy is meant to boost American EV production. In addition, Governor Gavin Newsom (D-CA) awarded BYD a nearly $1 billion no-bid contract for masks during the coronavirus pandemic despite the company’s lack of background in manufacturing protective equipment at the time. As shown by state records, Li contributed $50,000 to Newsom’s gubernatorial campaigns in 2018 and 2022.

A subsidiary of the Chinese-based and owned multinational BYD Company, BYD Americas doesn’t actually sell passenger cars in the United States. Instead, its primary Western markets include Latin America and Europe. The American subsidiary aims to open a new manufacturing plant in Mexico by 2026 that will produce 150,000 electric cars a year. Despite being subsidized by U.S. taxpayers, these cars will mostly be sold in Latin American markets and not in the U.S.

BYD Company is involved with China’s Belt and Road Initiative and receives subsidies from the Chinese government. Concerns over espionage led Congress to investigate BYD and other Chinese vehicle manufacturers earlier this year.

Tim Walz is Going Gay.

Vice President Kamala Harris’s running mate, Governor Tim Walz (D-MN), will join the Human Rights Campaign, Out for Harris-Walz, and Pennsylvania Democrats for a ten-day initiative in critical battleground states to boost turnout among LGBTQ voters. Walz and his wife Gwen will participate in a series of events beginning Thursday evening with a rally in Philadelphia. The campaign has organized over 160 events across several key swing states, including canvassing and digital outreach.

The move comes as the Harris-Walz campaign appears to be stalling out with less than 30 days until Election Day. Polling data shows that the 2024 presidential race remains a toss-up between President Donald J. Trump and Vice President Harris, with the latter continuing to struggle among several key election demographics, including working-class and young voters.

According to a report by the Human Rights Campaign, in the 2020 election, so-called equality voters—supporters of pro-LGBTQ+ policies—constituted 37 percent of the electorate, heavily favoring Joe Biden. This year, their participation could be decisive in swing states such as Arizona, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.

The National Pulse previously reported that Walz was pushing LGBTQ gender ideology over 25 years ago as a Minnesota high school teacher in 1999. Kamala Harris‘s running mate served as the faculty advisor to a “gay-straight alliance” group described as a “safe space” for students to discuss their sexual orientation.

Events conclude Thursday with a virtual Out for Harris-Walz National Organizing Call, featuring Governor Walz, Human Rights Campaign president Kelley Robinson, and several guests, including U.S. Representative Robert Garcia (D-CA) and Delaware State Sen. Sarah McBride.

McBride, a Democrat candidate for the U.S. House in Delaware, will likely become the first transgender person to serve in Congress.

Judge Says Jack Smith’s Election Interference Can Continue.

U.S. District Court Judge Tayna Chutkan has rejected a motion filed by President Donald J. Trump’s legal team asking that the Biden-Harris Department of Justice’s (DOJ) special counsel, Jack Smith, refrain from publicizing additional documents outlining his lawfare case against the Republican nominee public before the election. The ruling follows the unsealing of Smith’s 165-page legal brief against Trump’s presidential immunity claim last week.

Specifically, Smith is seeking to file an appendix to the immunity brief, which includes grand jury transcripts. “Defendant has now filed an opposition objecting to unsealing any part of the Appendix. ECF No. 259. As in his previous filing, he identifies no specific substantive objections to particular proposed redactions,” Chutkan wrote in her order on Thursday.

The foreign-born, far-left judge added: “For the same reasons set forth in its decision with respect to the Motion, ECF No. 251, the court determines that the Government’s proposed redactions to the Appendix are appropriate, and that Defendant’s blanket objections to further unsealing are without merit. As the court has stated previously, ‘Defendant’s concern with the political consequences of these proceedings’ is not a cognizable legal prejudice.”

However, any public filings by Smith will be delayed for at least a week, as Chutkan did grant a seven-day stay on the decision, allowing Trump’s lawyers time to appeal her ruling if they choose.

The National Pulse previously reported that CNN’s senior legal analyst, Elie Honig, called Smith’s decision to file the 165-page immunity brief just a month before the November presidential election an “unprincipled, norm-breaking” attempt to “chip away at Trump’s electoral prospects.”

Kamala Harris Threatened to Weaponize DOJ Against Platforms That Don’t Censor Her Opponents.

Footage of Vice President Kamala Harris threatening to weaponize the Department of Justice (DOJ) against social media platforms failing to censor supposed “hate” and “misinformation” to her liking in 2019 is going viral. In a speech to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) in Detroit, Michigan, while she was running for the Democrats’ 2020 presidential nomination, then-Senator Harris said she would “put the Department of Justice of the United States back in the business of justice.”

“We will double the Civil Rights Division, and direct law enforcement to counter this extremism,” Harris declared, vowing: “We will hold social media platforms accountable for the hate infiltrating their platforms, because they have a responsibility to help fight against this threat to our democracy. And if you profit off of hate, if you act as a megaphone for misinformation or cyber warfare, if you don’t police your platforms, we are going to hold you accountable as a community.”

Weaponizing the DOJ in this way would likely lead to a significant abridgment of Americans’ First Amendment rights, with “hate” being subjective and the authorities’ definition of “misinformation” previously including accurate information on Hunter Biden’s laptop and vaccine side effects.

Harris, presenting herself as a moderate for her snap 2024 presidential run, campaigned much further to the left during her run at the 2020 nomination, endorsing the decriminalization of unlawful border crossings and taxpayer-funded transgender surgeries for criminals and illegal aliens, for instance.

She pushed far-left policies as a state-level politician in California, sponsoring a handgun ban later overturned by the courts and arguing for the authorities to be able to enter lawful gun owners’ homes, among other authoritarian policies.
