A Media Research Center (MRC) analysis reveals that ABC, set to host the debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris on Tuesday, is more pro-Harris than any comparable evening newscast and overwhelmingly negative towards Trump. Analysts reviewed 100 World News Tonight campaign reports aired from July 21, when Harris declared her candidacy, to September 6, finding Harris received 25 distinctly positive comments and no negative remarks from ABC’s reporters, anchors, or non-partisan sources—a 100 percent positive spin rate.
Trump’s ABC coverage included only five positive comments against 66 negative statements, giving him a 7 percent positive and 93 percent negative spin score. CBS and NBC also strongly favored Harris, with CBS’s coverage being 94 percent positive and NBC’s 71 percent. Trump’s coverage at CBS and NBC was 77 percent and 86 percent negative, respectively. Still, neither was as uniformly positive for Harris as ABC.
ABC did not label Harris as “liberal” or “progressive” even once. This is despite the fact she once rated as the most liberal senator in Congress, ahead of even Bernie Sanders, and has backed far-left policies such as decriminalizing illegal border crossings.
ABC consistently highlighted Trump’s controversies but downplayed negative stories related to Harris. For example, it did not report on an adulteryincident involving Harris’s husband that was mentioned, albeit briefly, by CBS and NBC.
David Muir, a moderator of the Trump-Harris debate, is the managing editor of World News Tonight.
Trump describes ABC as “by far the nastiest and most unfair newscaster in the business.” However, it is the only network Harris has agreed to debate on, refusing Fox News and, so far, even NBC.
ABC executive Dana Walden and her husband are close personal friends of Harris and her husband. Harris has previously said the Waldens, who have been donating to her since 2003, are “In many ways… responsible for my marriage.”

Bitcoin could soar to a new high of $90,000 by the fourth quarter if former President Donald J. Trump is reelected in November, according to research by Bernstein. However, the brokers warn that if Vice President Kamala Harris succeeds Joe Biden, the cryptocurrency could crash to $30,000.
“After the last three years of regulatory purge, a positive crypto regulatory policy can spur innovation again and bring the users back to financial products on the blockchain,” the researchers said, stressing Trump’s commitment to making the United States the “Bitcoin and crypto capital of the world.”
Speaking at The Bitcoin Conference in Nashville, Tennessee, in July, Trumpcommitted to creating a “strategic national Bitcoin reserve,” comparing the nascent crypto industry to the steel industry of a century ago and predicting it will probably “overtake gold” in the future.
“There’s never been anything like it,” he said. Bernstein also notes that Vice President Harris has never referenced crypto in her speeches, in contrast to Trump.
Mining Bitcoin is energy-intensive—an issue Trump recognizes, saying low-cost energy is key to achieving his ambition to center mining operations in the U.S. Meanwhile, Harris’s support of the Green New Deal and net zero government policies would likely harm the cryptocurrency industry.
In June, BTC Inc. CEO David Bailey said he plans on “raising over $100 million and turning out more than 5,000,000 voters” for Trump.

Former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) says former Vice President Dick Cheney’s endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris should have “made the choice” in November “very clear” to Democratic and independent voters: “A vote for Kamala Harris is a vote for Dick Cheney, the architect of everything that has gone wrong in the Middle East for the last few decades.”
Gabbard, a veteran of the Iraq War, condemned Harris’s response to the Cheney endorsement at a Colorado Springs event hosted by Tucker Carlson. “Her response to the Dick Cheney announcement… was that she was honored to have his endorsement, and we got military veterans in the house, got a lot of you who probably served in the Middle East like I did, and so it sickened me, Tucker, to read those words today from Dick Cheney, Liz Cheney, and Kamala Harris because we have people who we care very much about who were killed in those wars because of Dick Cheney,” she said.
While Gabbard enlisted in the National Guard while already serving in the Hawaii State Legislature, deploying to Iraq and Kuwait, Cheney never served in uniform, securing five draft deferments during the Vietnam War.
Gabbard, a 2020 candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination, endorsed former President Donald J. Trump at the National Guard Association of the United States General Conference in August. “I know that President Trump understands the grave responsibility that a President and Commander in Chief bears for every single one of our lives,” she said, expressing confidence that “his first task will be to do the work to walk us back from the brink of war.”
She and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., another former Democrat, now serve on Trump’s transition team.
Remember: A vote for Kamala is a vote for Dick Cheney, Hillary Clinton, and the woke warmongering cabal. A vote for Kamala is a vote for war, war, and more war — and with it, more infringement on our liberties in the name of “national security.” pic.twitter.com/Ejtg6LCCb6

Relatives of far-left California Governor Gavin Newsom are hosting a major fundraiser for Donald Trump in the Bay Area on September 13. Tom Siebel, a relative of Newsom’s wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom, will host the event. Tickets are going for up to $500,000 per couple.
Tom Siebel is not the first Newsom family connection to the political right. Newsom’s father-in-law, Ken Siebel, registered as a Republican in Florida, and a trust connected to the Siebel family donated $5,000 to Florida Governor Ron DeSantis in 2022.
However, when DeSantis suggested the Siebels had fled the Golden State for the Sunshine State to escape Newsom’s policies during a debate, Ken Siebel dismissed the Florida Governor as a “slimeball.”
California has not voted for a Republican presidential candidate since 1988, and Joe Biden won with over 60 percent of the vote in 2020. Nevertheless, the Republican minority is significant in purely numerical terms, with more people voting for Trump in California than in Texas, and the state plays a substantial role in GOP fundraising. Alongside the Siebel fundraiser, former President Trump is attending another event at a currently undisclosed Los Angeles location on September 12, with tickets going for up to $250,000. On Sunday, Trump’s running mate, Senator J.D. Vance, sold out a Los Angeles fundraiser alongside former independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
NOT ALONE.
Newsom is not the only high-profile Democrat whose relatives prefer Trump to Kamala Harris. Jeff Walz, older brother of Democratic vice presidential hopeful Tim Walz, says he is “100 percent opposed to all his [brother’s] ideology.”
“The stories I could tell. Not the type of character you want making decisions about your future,” Jeff Walz added.
Eight members of the Walz family in the Minnesota Democrat’s native Nebraska subsequently posed in ‘Nebraska Walz’s for Trump’ T-shirts.

An election security update issued by the Biden-Harris government’s Director of National Intelligence (DNI) contradicts—in part—Attorney General Merrick Garland and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director Christopher Wray’s claims that Russia is actively interfering in the 2024 U.S. presidential election. Specifically, the DNI notice states, “the [intelligence community] has not observed any foreign actors seeking to interfere in the conduct of the 2024 elections.”
“The interagency election security community assesses that it would be very difficult for a foreign actor to manipulate election processes at a large enough scale to impact the outcome of a federal election without detection by intelligence collection, post-election audits, or the physical and cybersecurity monitoring of the decentralized and diverse election infrastructure across the country,” the DNI report reads.
Late last week, Attorney General Garland and FBI Director Wray announced the Biden-Harris government is indicting two Russian nationals for violating the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA). At a news conference announcing the prosecutions, both Garland and Wray insinuated the two Russian individuals were at the center of a plot to interfere in the U.S. election. However, the indictment itself details a broader scheme to inject pro-Russia talking points into American news and heighten partisan discord among the populace.
The DNI does state that there are foreign operations aimed at boosting preferred candidates—something that occurs in almost every U.S. presidential election. To this end, the intelligence community notes that foreign actors “sometimes use cyber tools to collect information that helps them… embarrass or denigrate particular candidates through leaks”—likely referring to a recent hacking of former President Donald J. Trump’s campaign by Iran. The hacked documents and emails were subsequently leaked to several media outlets—though they have chosen thus far not to publish the illicitly obtained material.

Singer Elton John recently praised former President Donald J. Trump’s ‘Little Rocket Man’ nickname for North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un, calling it “brilliant.” The 77-year-old, responsible for the hit song Rocket Man, told Variety: “I laughed, I thought it was brilliant. Good on you, Donald. The Rocket Man, yeah.” He said that Trump has attended several of his concerts, describing their relationship as friendly.
Trump coined the nickname in 2017 in reference to Kim’s ballistic missile tests and nuclear program. In 2018, Trump disclosed plans to gift Kim an Elton John album featuring the song Rocket Man. Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo detailed in his 2022 memoir, Never Give an Inch, that Trump had to explain the nickname’s significance to Kim, who was unfamiliar with John’s music. Trump, who achieved a significant thawing in U.S.-North Korean relations following his initial tough stance, reportedly autographed an Elton John CD for Kim.

John has conducted shows at the late conservative firebrand Rush Limbaugh’s wedding, and Trump’s wedding to Melania Trump. “I’ve always been friendly towards [Trump], and I thank him for his support,” John said, adding: “I just thought it was hilarious.”

Congressman Ro Khanna, serving as a campaign surrogate for Kamala Harris, is expressing his disapproval of fellow Democrats calling Republicans “weird.” Speaking at an event hosted by the Guardian, Khanna said, “I’m not, in candor, a fan of calling each other ‘weird’ or names… I think we have to, in this country, and as a party, not just win, but deserve victory, and to deserve victory means to offer a vision that is going to bring this country together with a common purpose.”
The Harris campaign has repeatedly labeled former President Donald J. Trump and, in particular, his running mate Senator J.D. Vance, “weird” throughout the election campaign, with much of the corporate media amplifying the narrative. In July, Harris’s running mate, Tim Walz, said, “These are weird people on the other side; they wanna take books away, they wanna be in your exam room… these are weird ideas.”
The Minnesota Governor was referring to Republicans seeking to remove sexually graphic books from school libraries, such as All Boys Aren’t Blue, which describes underage cousins performing gay sex acts on each other, among other lurid passages.
Walz worked as a teacher for decades before entering politics, serving as a faculty advisor to a “gay-straight alliance” group pushing LGBTQ issues on minors as long ago as 1999. Many parents appeared to regard the behavior of the Democrat and his group as “weird,” pulling their children out of a “Gay Awareness Day” all-student assembly at which speakers discussed LGBTQ sexuality.
As Governor, Walz has made Minnesota a “transgender sanctuary state” and signed legislation that removed anti-pedophile language from employment protection laws.

With fewer than two months until Election Day in the United States, Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are entering the final phase of their campaigns. Polling data shows an inconclusive split between the two candidates. Despite Harris’s media-boosted surge when she announced her candidacy in late July, recent polls indicate a shift back toward Trump.
The latest New York Times/Siena College poll conducted from September 3 to 6 shows Trump leading Harris by just one percentage point, at 48 percent to Harris’s 47 percent. The poll’s three-point margin of error suggests that the race remains close. Both 2016 and 2020 polls showed Trump way behind his competitors at this stage in the race.
The results are significant as they come just two days before the first head-to-head debate between the candidates, scheduled for September 10 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and hosted by ABC News.
In swing states such as Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, the race remains highly competitive. Trump and Harris appear tied in Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, and North Carolina at 48 percent each. Harris slightly leads in Pennsylvania by one point and holds a two-point advantage in Michigan and Wisconsin.

A Super PAC supporting President Trump’s election efforts, funded by billionaire Elon Musk, has hired a swathe of former DeSantis for president activists, including the chiefs of the Florida Governor’s disastrously run political action committee ‘Never Back Down.’
The details, which were quietly reported on by the New York Times in July, have been further teased out by Puck News this week, with author Tara Palmeri noting:
“…it baffled many inside the Trump campaign when Chris LaCivita blessed the mid-July shake-up at Musk’s America PAC. DeSantis’s former campaign manager Generra Peck and former senior advisor Phil Cox subsequentlyfired all the existing vendors, including canvassers, and dismantled the existing ground operation, only to bring in their own people just a month and a half before early voting is set to begin.”
Trump was reportedly furious with the move to hire a cadre of DeSantis backers, especially given the Trump campaign’s early pledge that none of those people would ever get jobs with Trump or his administration. Now, it seems, they’ve hired almost all their top associates, with the ‘P2‘ firm run by Cox and Peck being used as a primary group for the Musk-backed America PAC.
“Also involved… is Charlie Spies, a senior election lawyer for the Republican Party,” The New York Times revealed. The National Pulse has reported on Spies and his previous anti-Trump positions, leading to his ouster from an RNC role recently handed to him by Trump campaign chiefs Susie Wiles and Chris LaCivita.
The move was celebrated by LaCivita, who tweeted out the New York Times report, adding: “…the New Program 100% better than the old gang. Solidly support this effort!”
More fake news …the New Program 100% better than the old gang. Solidly support this effort ! https://t.co/Fz3DJtOqsW via @NYTimes
The tweet appears to have been a dig at former vendors who were Trump loyalists. LaCivita is no stranger to pushing out pro-Trump voices and replacing them with neoconservative and establishment names, having done similar at the RNC. He has also openly trashed Project 2025–made up of primarily former Trump White House staff–and funneled cash through outside groups like Preserve America, funded by Miriam Adelson.
“It’s a limp-dick version of Never Back Down, an organization that everyone universally sees as a failure,” a Trump campaign source told Puck this week. “It’s a model you ridiculed, and then you bring in the same team to replicate it?”
“[Cox and Peck] pulled a power move, but it was in the middle of July, when all of this stuff was going on with Biden and Trump,” said another source, speaking on why the infiltration of DeSantis characters had not been reported on sooner.
The reliance on DeSantis ally-run outside groups has caused all manner of consternation in Trump-world, with many seeing the reliance on the PAC as a repetition of the same mistake made by Governor DeSantis, who hired Jeff Roe and others to try the same system, instead of running the operations centrally, out of the campaign itself, as is traditional.
The New York Timesreported America PAC’s involvement in Wisconsin back in July. Since the takeover, Trump appears to have slumped against Harris in the Badger State.
The report also claimed that “America PAC has also been active or is planning to be active in Arizona, California, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, and Pennsylvania.”
The Trump campaign is also relying on more loyal voices and groups, including Chris Buskirk’s Turnout for America and Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point Action, to aid its efforts across the country.

Editor’s Notes
Behind-the-scenes political intrigue exclusively for Pulse+ subscribers.
Former Vice President and Iraq War criminal Dick Cheney intends to vote for Kamala Harris in November’s presidential election, according to his daughter, former Congresswoman Liz Cheney. The former Wyoming Congressman revealed her arch-neoconservative father’s candidate preference in an interview with Mark Leibovich of the globalist Atlantic magazine during the Texas Tribune Festival earlier on Friday.
Liz Cheney told Leibovich and the crowd at the confab that her father—who oversaw the aggressive and heretofore irrevocable expansion of the U.S. surveillance state—believes former President Donald J. Trump is a “grave threat to our democracy.”
According to his daughter, the former vice president, who served under George ‘Dubya’ Bush, considers Trump responsible for the January 6 Capitol riots.
“My dad believes — and he said publicly — that there’s never been an individual in our country who is as grave a threat to our democracy as Donald Trump is,” the former Congresswoman said. The elder Cheney’s endorsement comes on the heels of his daughter’s decision publicly backing Harris, announced earlier this week.
Both Dick and Liz Cheney are notable Russia hawks, with the former opposing the normalization of relations with Russia after the collapse of the Soviet Union while serving as the U.S. Secretary of Defense under the late George H.W. Bush. However, their backing of Harris has placed them in the same camp as Russian President Vladimir Putin, who announced his preference for the Democratic Party nominee on Thursday.
The Iraq War, championed by Dick Cheney and other neoconservatives in the Bush White House, resulted in the deaths of nearly 5,000 American military service members, with an additional 32,000 wounded in action. An estimated 1,500 military contractors working for the U.S. and its allies also lost their lives. Upwards of half a million Iraqis died in the conflict. Meanwhile, the power vacuum created by removing Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein resulted in the rise of the Islamic State terror group and the expansion of Iranian influence throughout the Middle East.
Other speakers joining Liz Cheney at the Texas Tribune Festival include Georgia election denier Stacey Abrams, Congressman Colin Allred (D-TX), Biden-Harris Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas, former Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), and Governor Gretchen Whitmer (D-MI).
