DATA: Arab Americans Prefer Trump Over Biden by 14 Points.

A new poll from the Arab American Institute reveals that former President Donald J. Trump holds a substantial lead over the Democrat incumbent Joe Biden among Arab Americans in crucial battleground states. The survey, published on Thursday, indicates that 32 percent of Arab Americans in Florida, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Virginia would choose Trump, compared to 18 percent for the 81-year-old Biden, reflecting a 14-point advantage for the Republican presidential nominee.

Among the respondents, 25 percent indicated they were “not sure” about their vote, surpassing the number of Biden supporters. Notably, 59 percent of Arab Americans said they had voted for Biden in the 2020 election, signaling a significant shift in voter sentiment.

In state-specific results, Trump leads substantially in Florida, with 44 percent support against Biden’s 8 percent. In Michigan, Trump garners 28 percent compared to Biden’s 15 percent. Pennsylvania shows a 44 to 29 percent lead in favor of Trump. In Virginia, the race is tight, with both candidates at 22 percent, while “not sure” accounts for 23 percent of the responses.

The poll highlights that 79 percent of Arab Americans who identify as Republicans support Trump, while just 46 percent of Arab American Democrats back Biden. Among independents, 27 percent support Trump, 13 percent favor Biden, and 33 percent remain uncertain.

The survey reveals that Biden‘s support is notably weak among young and foreign-born Arab Americans, with just 8 percent of individuals aged 18 to 34 and 10 percent of foreign-born Arab Americans expressing support for Biden. The primary concern for Arab Americans is the ongoing conflict in Gaza, with 60 percent identifying it as their top issue. Only 5 percent of respondents approve of Biden’s handling of the situation.

BREAKING- AAI 2024 election poll of #ArabAmericans in key states: Florida, Michigan, Pennsylvania, + Virginia.
KEY FINDINGS:

Election Integrity

Fulton County Sued by Election Board Member Over 2024 Data Access Denial.

Julie Adams, a Republican member of the Fulton County, Georgia, Board of Elections, has filed a lawsuit against the county, the board, and the county’s election director, Nadine Williams. The lawsuit, filed last week, alleges that Adams was denied access to critical election information during this year’s primary elections, hindering her ability to prevent election fraud.

Adams claims that Williams consistently obstructed her from performing her duties as a board member. “Over the years, the Board has purportedly delegated core BRE responsibilities to an appointed Election Director. Plaintiff swore an oath to ‘prevent fraud, deceit, and abuse’ in Fulton County elections and to ‘make a true and perfect return,'” the lawsuit states. The lawsuit further emphasizes that Adams’ obligations are “frustrated by the repeated and continuing refusal to allow Plaintiff access to, and direct knowledge of, the information Plaintiff reasonably believes she needs to execute her duties faithfully and thoroughly.”

Adams asserts that Williams denied her requests for access to election-related materials and documents. Williams argued that these materials undergo a “rigorous validation process” and should “simply be trusted.” As a result, Adams voted against certifying the results of the state-level congressional primary held on May 21. She cited her inability to access necessary information as the reason she could not fulfill her responsibilities on the board.

Adams seeks a ruling from Fulton County Superior Court to clarify the role of the county’s election director and to grant her access to election materials. This lawsuit follows recent issues regarding election integrity in Fulton County, including the double counting of approximately 3,075 ballots in the 2020 presidential election.

TikTok Influencers Fuel Progressive Revolt Against Joe Biden.

Since taking office in 2021, Joe Biden and his Democrat allies have sought favor with social media influencers — especially on the Chinese-owned video app TikTok. Biden campaign officials see TikTok as a powerful tool to influence and energize the youth vote for the 81-year-old Democrat incumbent, especially among the app’s more progressive users. However, following the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza, TikTok has increasingly become a source of anti-Biden content — especially among young progressives.

According to Pew Research, around one-third of adults under the age of 30 receive their news from videos on the TikTok app. Progressive influencers like Kahlil Greene wield huge audiences on the platform — something the Biden campaign had hoped would boost youth support for the octogenarian incumbent. Instead, the platform’s powerful progressive content creators have turned on Biden.

Analysis conducted by CredoIQ — a marketing firm specializing in social media’s political influence — reveals that more than 20 percent of top left-leaning TikTok influencers have posted anti-Biden content, amassing over 100 million views in the first four months of this year. The Israel-Hamas war and possible TikTok ban make up a bulk of the anti-Biden content.

“What I would be concerned about is kind of the wildfire anti-Biden movement leaping from anti-Biden progressives to a larger group of young people,” Ben Darr, president and founder of CredoIQ, said of his firms’s analysis. Several national presidential polls appear to corroborate Biden’s TikTok problem, with the Democrat incumbent virtually tied with his Republican challenger, Donald J. Trump, among voters under 30.

Despite Biden approving a potential ban on TikTok in late April, his presidential campaign has remained active on the Chinese-owned app. Additionally, The National Pulse reported in January that Priorities USA, a Democrat-aligned SuperPAC, will drop $1 million to boost pro-Biden messaging by top influencers on the app.

Bill Maher: Trump Will ‘Probably’ Be President Again.

In a recent interview with CNN anchor Chris Wallace, comedian and TV host Bill Maher predicted that former President Donald Trump will “probably be president again.” Maher’s comments came during an episode of Wallace’s Max series, “Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace,” in which they discussed various topics, including politics, Maher’s affinity for marijuana, and his new book.

A preview clip revealed Wallace’s surprise at Maher’s casual prediction of a Trump victory over Joe Biden. Wallace referenced Maher’s recent remarks on his podcast “Club Random,” where he told Jerry Seinfeld that he would not “go nuts” if Trump were to win. Wallace asked if this indicated Maher thought a second Trump term would not be as troubling or if he had become indifferent. Maher clarified, “I care, but I’m not going to lose my nervous system at every step. This is the guy who’s going to be probably President again.”

“Do you really think so?” Wallace questioned.

“Odds on, yes,” Maher replied. “He’s certainly winning now, and Biden does not look like a very good candidate.”

However, the usually measured Maher also appeared to take a page out of the Biden campaign’s “full Hitler” strategy, suggesting Trump intends to become some sort of dictator. Wallace recalled Maher’s past predictions regarding Trump’s reluctance to concede an election if he lost, which Maher affirmed.

“Starting in 2018, you began predicting that if Donald Trump lost his re-election bid in 2020, he wouldn’t leave,” Wallace noted.
Maher responded, “I said it before he was elected the first time. I kept saying it was a slow-moving coup. It’s happening, and we see the stages of it. The right-wing has convinced themselves that he’s just a buffoonish comedian who says crazy things, but this is very serious. He’s running a much more serious campaign this time.”

Maher has been critical of Biden’s government and his campaign. In March, Maher recommended that Biden replace Kamala Harris with Nikki Haley to increase his reelection chances. The liberal commentator has also been vocal about the far-left that has largely seized control of the Democratic Party. Recently, he described transgenderism as a “TikTok challenge that got out of hand.”

Texas’ Primary Results Reveal Deep RINO Rot.

Dade Phelan, Speaker of the Texas House, narrowly survived a contentious primary runoff against fellow Republican David Covey. The Associated Press declared Phelan the winner of the Texas House District 21 race late on May 28. Unofficial election results indicate that Phelan secured 50.7 percent of the vote against Covey’s 49.3 percent, with about 97 percent of results tallied as of 4:50 AM. ET Wednesday.

The primary runoff occurred amid ongoing turmoil within the Texas GOP, driven by a conflict between supporters of Donald J. Trump‘s Make America Great Again movement and Texas establishment Republican politicians. As Speaker, Phelan presided over the sham impeachment trial of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in September. Paxton was acquitted by the State Senate after Phelan’s star witnesses either recanted or admitted their testimony was made up.

“I think it’s kind of sexy, frankly,” Perry says about being called a RINO, while putting his hand on his head to mimic a rhino’s horn. “When you think about it … it’s one of the baddest boys on the block, right?”https://t.co/BlSKByIxuY

Trump — along with Paxton and allies like Sid Miller — had urged voters to oust Phelan, framing the race as pivotal in the internal struggle. Despite Phelan’s victory, at least six of his eight allies in the Texas House lost their primary races to conservative and populist challengers. Following Phelan’s victory, Paxton took to social media to express his discontent, suggesting that Democratic voters were responsible for the result. “Democrats just reelected Dade Phelan. We must close our primaries. Now,” he said.

In March, Covey had led Phelan in the initial GOP primary with 46 percent to 43 percent. Needing a majority to avoid a runoff, the election contest moved to a second vote on Tuesday. Over the campaign, Covey questioned Phelan’s conservative credentials and criticized his appointment of Democrats to legislative committee chairs.

We must close our primaries.

Biden’s Embarrassing Philly Flop: ‘Space is Empty.’

Few people attended Joe Biden’s rally in Philadelphia on Wednesday, spelling trouble for the 81-year-old Democrat in the critical swing state of Pennsylvania. Photographs from New York Post reporter Steven Nelson showed large empty sections of the school gymnasium where the event was held. Nelson noted on X, formerly Twitter, that the space was only about half full, with part of it occupied by the press.

Pennsylvania is critical to Biden’s reelection prospects, but his support in the Keystone State has slipped significantly. A New York Times/Siena College/Philadelphia Inquirer poll this month showed his support among demographics that had been solidly behind him in 2020 has plummeted: youth support is down from 62 percent in 2020 to 47 percent and black and Hispanic support is down from 71 percent to 57 percent.

Biden generated similarly low levels of support at another swing state outing in Atlanta, Georgia, earlier this month. Mere tens of people turned out to see the Democrat at a Mary Mac’s Tea Room event geared towards shoring up his support among black voters. Footage from the sparsely attended gathering shows him shuffling around in a confused state, eliciting a mixture of sympathy and laughter from attendees.

Donald Trump, in contrast, has held rallies attended by tens of thousands of people in the Democratic strongholds of New Jersey and New York in recent weeks, even as he is being dragged through a Manhattan court by a Democratic District Attorney.

Trump’s support in these states — potentially in play despite not having been won by a Republican presidential candidate since 1988 and 1984, respectively — may force the Biden campaign to reallocate resources from its already lackluster swing state efforts.

Hysterical Jill Biden Says ‘WE WILL LOSE ALL OUR RIGHTS’ If Trump Appoints Another SCOTUS Judge.

During an appearance on ABC’s “The View” on Wednesday, Jill Biden claimed that if former President Donald Trump is re-elected in November, there will be disastrous consequences, including significant losses of human rights. “We will lose all of our rights,” Biden insisted.

“[W]e cannot take things for granted, and think of the Supreme Court for God’s sake. Talk about things getting worse? Can you imagine if we put any more Republicans on the Supreme Court? No!” Biden exclaimed.

During her appearance, Biden was promoting her new book, “Willow the White House Cat,” as well as her husband’s re-election campaign. The discussion soon shifted to the role of “women’s rights” in the upcoming election. Co-host Sara Haines observed that women would be crucial in the upcoming election due to ongoing divisive issues.

“We’ve heard Trump bragging about stripping women’s reproductive rights, 14 states have a total ban on abortion, and now IVF is under attack,” Haines remarked. Haines then asked Biden to elaborate on the potential impacts of a Trump presidency. “Well, it could get a lot worse under a Trump presidency,” Biden responded. “You have to believe him when he uses words like ‘dictator,’ ‘bloodbath,’ ‘third term,’ ‘violence,’ we’ve seen it, so when he says these words, believe him,” she said, referencing the debunked “bloodbath” hoax.

“And women’s rights? Absolutely, women’s rights and IVF,” Biden continued — even though Trump has been a staunch supporter of IVF access.

Jill Biden has been at the tip of the spear of the Biden campaign’s “full Hitler” strategy, which Joe Biden unveiled in his “fearmongering” Valley Forge speech. In March, she compared efforts to shield children from explicitly sexual LGBTQ content to Naziism.

Could Elon Musk Serve in a Future Trump Admin?

Technology billionaire Elon Musk appears to be warming to former President Donald J. Trump and his 2024 presidential campaign. Musk, currently the world’s third richest man, recently discussed a technology project aimed at preventing voter fraud with Trump that he and fellow billionaire Nelson Peltz have developed. Additionally, Musk is allegedly pushing his fellow technology billionaires to forgo contributing to Joe Biden‘s 2024 re-election effort.

Musk’s discussions with Trump have led to speculation that the billionaire could join the former President should Trump retake the White House in November’s presidential election. However, the relationship between, arguably, the two most recognizable men in America hasn’t always been so cordial.

During and just after Trump‘s first term in office, the two exchanged barbs frequently in the press and on social media. Musk and Trump’s point of contention was the latter’s electric vehicle business, Tesla, which is heavily reliant on U.S. government subsidies. Trump has long been a critic of the technology.

Despite their differences, the two now appear to have mended fences. The Wall Street Journal reports that the two have met several times during the early months of the 2024 presidential cycle and discussed issues ranging from illegal immigration to science and the U.S. Space Force. Trump has signaled to Musk that he’d like to get him more active in both the campaign and future White House.

According to sources close to Musk, the billionaire’s thaw toward Trump has been primarily motivated by his increasing concerns about the country’s direction under Joe Biden. They claim that Musk sees the “woke mind virus” as a serious threat to American culture, politics, and industry.

Stunning Forecast Model Predicts Trump, GOP Win White House AND Congress Majority.

A new election forecast indicates former President Donald J. Trump will likely retake the White House in November. The model gives Trump a 58 percent probability of defeating the 81-year-old Democrat incumbent Joe Biden and reclaiming the presidency. This forecast comes as less than six months remain until Election Day. The model — built by Decision Desk HQ on behalf of The Hill — was revealed early on Wednesday.

According to the election model, former President Trump has a slight edge in most of the critical swing states. These states — which include Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Arizona, Minnesota, Georgia, Maine, and North Carolina — are considered pivotal in determining the outcome of presidential elections. All but just two appear to be leaning in favor of Donald Trump, with Michigan, a one-time Democrat stronghold, in a statistical tie.

The projection also suggests favorable outcomes for the Republican Party in Congress. According to the forecast, the GOP has a 79 percent chance of regaining control of the U.S. Senate. This possible shift in the upper chamber could significantly impact legislative priorities and the ability to confirm appointments. In the House of Representatives, the model predicts a 64 percent chance that the Republican Party will retain its slim majority.

Both parties are expected to intensify their campaign operations in the coming months, aiming to secure undecided voters and bolster support in critical regions. The Republican Party is especially focused on efforts to mobilize its populist base and sway independent voters.

Dems Circumvent Their Own Rules to Nominate Biden Virtually for Ohio Deadline.

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) plans to hold a “virtual roll call” to nominate Joe Biden before the party’s August convention, aiming to secure his place on Ohio’s general election ballot. The announcement arrived Tuesday as the Ohio State Legislature commenced a special session ordered by Republican Gov. Mike DeWine to address the issue.

The Democratic convention, traditionally where candidates for president and vice president are nominated, is scheduled after Ohio’s August 7 deadline for certifying candidates. Ohio GOP lawmakers, holding supermajorities in both the House and Senate, have been hesitant to pass a bill relaxing this deadline for Biden without introducing unrelated campaign finance legislation, which Democrats have labeled a “poison pill.”

The DNC’s rules and bylaws committee is expected to vote on June 4 to allow the virtual roll call. Following this, DNC members will vote on the resolution, enabling a virtual nomination process. Officials have compared this approach to the virtual convention conducted in 2020 due to the pandemic.

Initially, the Biden campaign and DNC resisted initiating such plans. Historically, both parties have resolved Ohio’s certification deadlines without controversy before their nominating conventions. However, DeWine’s call for the special session included addressing a measure to ban foreign money in state ballot issue campaigns alongside the Biden ballot fix. This measure, previously appended to a state Senate version of the Biden-related bill, saw no vote in the state House, precipitating the current urgency.

Nickie Antonio, the Democratic leader in the Ohio Senate, announced the change in strategy, reassuring Democrats that Biden will be on the ballot regardless of state legislative actions. Reports that the timing of the Democratic convention may have prevented Biden from getting on the Ohio ballot first surfaced in April.
