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.

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.

A Top Harris-Walz Advisor Was Booted from An Atlanta Restaurant.

Former Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms, an advisor for Vice President Kamala Harris‘s 2024 presidential campaign, claims she was refused service at an Atlanta restaurant. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Bottoms—considered a potential running mate for Joe Biden in 2020—alleges a hostess at the unnamed establishment declined to seat her because she was wearing yoga pants. Bottoms declined to name the restaurant where the incident occurred.

“I was AGAIN told by a hostess that I could not be seated in an Atlanta area restaurant (not the same one as last time) because I had on ‘yoga’ pants, which was supposedly against their ‘strictly enforced’ business casual policy,” the Harris-Walz campaign advisor wrote. “After I pointed out that there were patrons, none of whom looked like me, who had on shorts, baseball caps, and flip flops in the restaurant, the manager offered to seat us, in the not so full restaurant, in an hour.”

Bottoms expressed her belief that she was not alone in facing this issue and indicated her intent to address it with the restaurant owner. She clarified she would not disclose the name of the location due to a previous incident in 2022, where she was denied service for wearing leggings, and her public disclosure led to threats against the staff. Bottoms added that she was interested to hear if others had similar experiences.

While the incident ostensibly stems from Bottoms’s choice of clothing, the Harris-Walz advisor appears to subtly insinuate she was denied service because of racism. Responding to her post, other X users detailed similar incidents, most claiming they were discriminated against because of their race or ethnicity.

REPORT: AZ Senate Candidate’s Drug Trafficking Father Arrested for Punching Landlady.

Representative Ruben Gallego (D-AZ), the 2024 Democratic Party nominee for U.S. Senate in Arizona, is facing increasing scrutiny over his Mexican father’s criminal behavior, both past and present. Jose Angel Marinelarena was arrested on March 3, 2024, for battery after assaulting his landlady in Chicago, Illinois. Additionally, Gallego admitted last week that his father is a “convicted drug dealer.”

According to an arrest report obtained by investigative journalist Laura Loomer, Jose Angel Marinelarena punched Edyta Jagas twice in the face this past Spring after the woman confronted him over unpaid rent. Additionally, the 69-year-old Marinelarena, a Mexican immigrant, has a prior conviction for drug trafficking with alleged ties to the violent Juarez cartel in Mexico. Gallego claims that he has no relationship with his father.

Gallego’s Republican opponent, Kari Lake, has repeatedly blasted the Democratic Congressman for his support for the Biden-Harris government’s open borders policies. In addition, Lake has raised Marinelarena’s ties to the Mexican drug cartels, suggesting Gallego and his father’s relationship might not be as distant as the Congressman suggests.

“We need to be calling out what [Gallego] is about. I want to confront the cartels… I want to end the cartels,” Lake said at a news conference last Saturday. “He will never confront the cartels; he is controlled by them. He has close family members who are drug traffickers.”

Polling in the Arizona Senate election shows a tight race. The latest survey has Gallego narrowly leading with 50 percent of the vote to Lake’s 46 percent. Meanwhile, President Donald J. Trump has consistently led Vice President Kamala Harris in the state—raising concerns among Democrats that Trump’s coattails could be enough to secure a win for Lake as well.

The RCP Polling Average Gives Trump a Landslide Win.

With less than 30 days until the 2024 presidential election, one major polling average suggests former President Donald J. Trump is on pace for an Electoral College landslide victory over Vice President Kamala Harris. According to the polling aggregates compiled by RealClearPolitics (RCP), Trump holds the edge in five of the seven critical battleground states.

The data, comprised of an average of publically available presidential race polling in each state, shows Trump leading Harris in Georgia by 1.5 percent, Arizona by 1.4 percent, North Carolina by 0.6 percent, Michigan by 0.5 percent, and Pennsylvania by 0.2 percent. Harris, meanwhile, leads Trump in Nevada and Wisconsin by 1.1 percent and 0.6 percent, respectively.

While the RCP average suggests Trump is on pace to win just shy of 300 electoral votes, the razor-thin margins in all seven states indicate the race remains statistically a toss-up between the two candidates. Despite an early surge in support following her entry into the 2024 race after President Biden was pressured out of seeking re-election, Harris’s polling numbers have plateaued in recent weeks.

The Vice President has struggled to consolidate support among both young and working-class voters. According to recent data released by the Teamsters Union, its members are breaking for Trump over Harris by a two-to-one ratio. In Pennsylvania, almost 50 percent of the state’s male population has just a high school diploma or less—often indicative of a working-class background.

Another deciding factor in the 2024 presidential election is likely to be the Hispanic vote. Trump is making significant gains among this critical demographic, especially among Hispanic men. The 2020 census indicates that Hispanics make up about 30 percent of the population in both Arizona and Nevada.

Top Dem Strategist Says He’s ‘Scared to Death’ Over Kamala’s Failing Campaign.

Veteran Democratic strategist James Carville is raising serious concerns regarding Vice President Kamala Harris‘s election prospects. During a recent appearance on MSNBC, Carville, known for his role in Bill Clinton’s 1992 presidential campaign, stated he is “scared to death” as the November 5 election date approaches.

Carville highlighted that the Harris campaign should not be complacent, pointing out that they have less time than they may believe. “She doesn’t have a month left,” he said, emphasizing the urgency by noting that time is limited. He calculated that the campaign effectively has under 20 days to make a significant impact. The Democratic Party strategist added: “I think she and the whole campaign need to be much more aggressive and much less passive than they are.”


Carville’s concerns are not unwarranted. Recent polling data suggests the Harris campaign is struggling to win over young men, especially minorities, in the critical battleground states of Arizona, Nevada, and Michigan. In Arizona and Nevada, specifically, Harris is facing surging support for her opponent, President Donald J. Trump, among Latino men under the age of 50. Trump’s margin among young Latinos is in the double digits in both states.

Also concerning for Harris are mounting worries over turnout among young black men in Michigan. Low turnout in Detroit could doom Harris. When turnout in the city is above 50 percent, Democrats are—historically—a lock to win the state.

“I am worried about turnout in Detroit. I think it’s real,” said Jamal Simmons in a recent interview with POLITICO. The Detroit native and former communications director for Harris asked: “Do they have the machine to turn people out? There are concerns and they’re not insignificant.”

Kamala Leans on John Fetterman to Bring in Blue-Collar Voters.

Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) is emerging as a key campaign surrogate for Vice President Kamala Harris in the closing days of the 2024 presidential election. She hopes to head off President Donald J. Trump’s surging support among blue-collar voters in Pennsylvania, and her campaign believes deploying Fetterman to rally voters in rural Pennsylvania counties will push the Democratic Vice President’s margins higher than President Joe Biden’s during the 2020 election.

Trump’s strong showing in the critical swing state looms large in the mind of the Harris campaign. Despite losing Pennsylvania to Biden in 2020, Trump saw a significant increase in his margins in the state’s more rural counties compared to his 2016 numbers. In rural Somerset County—about an hour outside Pittsburgh in western Pennsylvania—Trump carried the vote by 55 points in 2016. He defeated Biden by an even greater margin in the county during the 2020 election.

Hoping to narrow the margin in places like Somerset, the Harris campaign has dispatched Fetterman, the state’s junior Democratic Senator who has sometimes bucked the national party and has populist appeal. Over the final weeks before Election Day, Fetterman will host over a half dozen events across rural Pennsylvania, with an appeal to union voters and legacy Democrats being the primary focus.

Data released by the Teamsters Union in September suggests Trump is winning union households by a two-to-one margin over Harris. The labor union, with over one million members, has declined to endorse a presidential candidate for the first time in 28 years.

Trump to Launch Final 2024 Campaign Push with Rally at Historic New York City Venue.

Former President Donald J. Trump is set to hold a major rally at Madison Square Garden in New York City later this month. According to sources, the event is planned for October 27, nine days before Election Day. The gathering will reportedly follow a first-come, first-serve approach, anticipating a large attendance.

Trump, who recently addressed an observance in Florida commemorating the anniversary of the October 7 Hamas attacks on Israel, has attracted substantial crowds throughout the 2024 presidential campaign. Last month, approximately 16,000 supporters attended his rally at Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, Long Island. Earlier in the summer, up to 10,000 people congregated at Crotona Park in the Bronx, surpassing the venue’s permit limit of 3,500 attendees.

Madison Square Garden can accommodate up to 19,500 spectators. It has been the site of several key national conventions, including the Democratic gatherings in 1976, 1980, and 1992 and the Republican National Convention in 2004.

Trump is not new to the idea of a rally at this well-known arena. During an interview in February, he mentioned the possibility, citing changes in New York’s political landscape as a motivating factor. Trump expressed confidence that he could garner votes from a broader spectrum of New Yorkers, indicating a focused effort in the state for the upcoming election. In April, he again suggested that a rally at Madison Square Garden was imminent.

The Trump campaign has yet to comment officially on the event, but it is expected to send an announcement to supporters soon.
