Taylor Swift’s recent endorsement of Kamala Harris and Governor Tim Walz (D-MN) appears to have had a mixed impact on voter preferences, according to new election data. A survey reveals just 8 percent of voters say they are “somewhat” or “much more likely” to support Harris due to Swift’s endorsement. Conversely, 20 percent of respondents are “somewhat” or “much less likely” to vote for Harris following the pop star’s declaration of support.
The majority of participants, accounting for 66 percent of responses, indicate that Swift’s endorsement does not alter their voting intentions. Following the September 10 presidential debate hosted by ABC News, Swift posted on Instagram to her 283 million followers that she is endorsing the 2024 Democratic Party’s presidential ticket of Harris and Walz.
Among the poll’s respondents, 32 percent believe Swift’s endorsement will positively impact Harris’s campaign, whereas 27 percent think it will have no effect. The survey noted that 41 percent of nearly 460 people surveyed feel Swift should refrain from making public political endorsements, against 38 percent who support her making endorsements.
Regarding fan demographics, 66 percent of the poll’s participants reported they are not Swifties, 28 percent identified as fans, and 6 percent described themselves as big fans. The majority of the last group are women and registered Democrats. Swift’s endorsement reportedly caused a spike in traffic to the voter registration site vote.gov, with 337,826 visitors clicking a link she shared on Instagram.

Failed Trump assassin Ryan Routh was photographed with Democrat megadonor and far-left celebrity chef José Andrés in a picture that emerged on Monday morning. The image, which features Andrés pointing at Routh with his arm around him, appears to have been taken in Kiev, Ukraine.
Andrés – himself a frequent Trump critic – owns several high-profile restaurants in Washington, D.C., and beyond. He was singled out for commendation by top Democrats, led by Nancy Pelosi, earlier this year. He is a frequent financial contributor to Democratic politicians, including Pelosi, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and others.
Andrés is also the founder of the World Kitchen charity, which has supplied aid to Palestinians in Gaza. When World Kitchen aid workers were killed in an airstrike this year, Andrés organized a memorial service at Washington’s National Cathedral, which featured readings of an Islamic Hadith and excerpts of the Quran.
The chef and restauranteur also serves on the board of GOOD Meat, a company pioneering artificial meat production. Subsequently, Andrés has lobbied the U.S. Department of Agriculture for final approval of GOOD Meat’s products, which will be featured at one of his Washington, D.C.-based restaurants.
Hostility between Trump and Andrés stems from a contract dispute from nearly a decade ago. The restauranteur pulled out of a deal to operate a restaurant in the then-Trump Hotel in Washington, D.C., following Trump’s criticism of illegal immigration from Mexico. A lawsuit brought by the Trump Organization against Andrés was eventually settled on mutual terms in 2017. After Trump sold the hotel for a large profit, Andrés opened a location of ‘The Bazaar’ inside. The hotel is now failing.

Former President Donald J. Trump says the latest man to try to assassinate him “believed the rhetoric of Biden and Harris, and he acted on it.” Ryan Routh, suspected of lying in wait for the America First leader with an AK-47-style rifle at the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida, on Sunday, is a Democrat donor and regurgitated Biden and Harris’s rhetoric about the former president being a threat to democracy on social media. Pictures also show a truck at his address sported a ‘Biden-Harris’ sticker.
“Their rhetoric is causing me to be shot at, when I am the one who is going to save the country, and they are the ones that are destroying the country, both from the inside and out,” Trump said of the Democratic president and his deputy.
He highlighted comments from the pair casting him as a “threat to democracy” and themselves as “unity” leaders.
“They are the opposite. These are people that want to destroy our country,” Trump said, explaining: “It is called the enemy from within. They are the real threat.”
During the debate between Trump and Harris, the Vice President claimed there would be no “guardrails” restraining Trump if he is reelected and that “It’s up to the American people to stop him.”
“These are the things that dangerous fools like the shooter listen to. That is the rhetoric they listen to, and the same with the first one,” Trump said, referring to Thomas Crooks, who shot him through the ear in Butler, Pennsylvania.
“They use highly inflammatory language,” he added.

The son of the would-be assassin of former President Donald J. Trump says his Democrat donor father “wants to be a martyr to how broken and disassociated the process has become from the real problems and practical solutions, then that’s his choice.” Oran Routh, the son of Ryan Routh, also echoed his father’s hatred for the former president, stating that he “hates Trump like every reasonable person does.” Oran Routh added: “I don’t like Trump either.”
Yesterday, Ryan Routh, 58, attempted to assassinate former President Trump while he played a round of golf at the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida.
“He’s my dad and all he’s had is couple traffic tickets, as far as I know. That’s crazy. I know my dad and love my dad, but that’s nothing like him,” Oran Routh said. The son of the would-be assassin added that he knew his father was traveling but did not realize he was in Florida: “He said he was at the beach, but I thought that meant the outer banks in Hawaii. I didn’t ask him for more information because we’ve had a falling out. We’ve grown apart.”
Disturbingly, Oran Routh appeared to defend his father’s alleged actions He said, “‘I hate this game every four years and think that we all do, and if my father wants to be a martyr to how broken and disassociated the process has become from the real problems and practical solutions, then that’s his choice.”
The National Pulse previously reported that Ryan Routh appears to have extensive ties to efforts aimed at recruiting foreign soldiers to fight for Ukraine. Additionally, the would-be assassin has expressed his support for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.

Ryan Routh, the suspect in the latest attempted assassination of former President Donald J. Trump at the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida, has donated to Democratic Party funding platform ActBlue at least 19 times, per Federal Election Commission (FEC) records. The string of small donations, starting in 2019, total over $140.
Reports suggest Routh made it within around 300 yards of the America First leader with a scoped AK-47-style rifle—and a GoPro video camera—before U.S. Secret Service (USSS) agents spotted him taking aim from some bushes. The AK-47’s effective range is around 380 yards, meaning that the USSS may have once again put the former president in a situation where only the incompetence of his attempted killer saved his life.
USSS agents opened fire on Routh but did not hit him, and he was able to flee the scene, getting into a blackcar and making his escape. It was the Martin County Sheriff’s Office that eventually took Routh into custody after receiving a picture of the getaway vehicle taken by an eyewitness.
Comments on social media attributed to Routh contain rhetoric identical to that of Kamala Harris and Joe Biden, suggesting Trump will put an end to democracy if he returns to the White House, raising questions about the extent to which Democrat rhetoric inspired the attack.

The man named by law enforcement sources as Donald Trump’s latest would-be assassin repeated rhetoric from Kamala Harris and Joe Biden claiming the America First leader is an existential threat to democracy, raising questions about the extent to which they inspired him. An X (formerly Twitter account) linked to suspect Ryan Routh, 58, posted in April: “DEMOCRACY is on the ballot, and we cannot lose. We cannot afford to fail.”
Both Biden and his vice president have been suggesting that Trump will end democracy if reelected for months. Harris posted that “Democracy is on the ballot” on July 2, alongside a picture of Trump with a misleading caption about him vowing to “be a dictator on day one.”
She made similar or identical claims on July 11, July 6, and June 21, adding, “[Democracy] is only as strong as our willingness to fight for it.”
In their recent debate, Harris escalated her anti-Trump rhetoric to a fever pitch, saying: “[U]nderstand the context in which this election in 2024 is taking place. The United States Supreme Court recently ruled that the former president would essentially be immune from any misconduct if he were to enter the White House again… Understand what it would mean if Donald Trump were back in the White House with no guardrails. Because certainly, we know now the court won’t stop him. We know J.D. Vance is not going to stop him. It’s up to the American people to stop him.”
Trump responded, “I probably took a bullet to the head because of the things that they say about me,” referring to the previous attempt on his life in Butler, Pennsylvania.
“They talk about democracy; I’m a ‘threat to democracy.’ They’re the threat to democracy,” he said.

Ryan Routh, a 58-year-old man living in Hawaii, has been identified as the would-be assassin who targeted former President Donald J. Trump as he played a round of golf on Sunday at the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida. The suspect, currently in the custody of law enforcement, had an extensive social media presence almost entirely focused on support for the Ukrainian war effort and opposition to Israel.
The would-be assassin appears to have been deeply involved with efforts to send Afghanistan military veterans, who fled the country after the Taliban retook power, to Ukraine to bolster the Eastern European nation’s efforts to halt the Russian invasion.
According to his social media and two 2023 interviews with Semafor and The New York Times, Routh ran the International Volunteer Center in Ukraine and spent a great deal of time in Kiev over the past several years.
“Most of the Ukrainian authorities do not want these soldiers,” Routh told Semafor last year. “I have had partners meeting with [Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense] every week and still have not been able to get them to agree to issue one single visa.”
FOREIGN TIES.
Even more concerning with respect to Routh’s foreign ties are the comments he made to the NYT. “We can probably purchase some passports through Pakistan, since it’s such a corrupt country,” he said regarding plans to move Afghan soldiers to Ukraine to join their fight.
Routh insinuated he’d move the soldiers to Iran and, from there, fly them to Ukraine.
In addition to organizing and encouraging volunteers to serve in the International Legion for Ukraine’s military, Routh appears to have engaged in efforts to lobby the United States Congress to increase foreign and military aid to the war-torn country.
Routh also appeared briefly in a propaganda video pushed by Ukaine’s neo-Nazi Azov Brigade.
The National Pulse has previously reported that there is strong evidence government agencies have maintained awareness of and even communicated with extremist political groups in America operating in Ukraine. It should be noted that the United States government claims to monitor Americans traveling to and from Ukraine closely.

In June 2022, Routh was interviewed by Newsweek Romania while in Ukraine. Allegedly a retired construction worker, he described in detail the logistical hurdles faced in recruiting foreign soldiers to fight against Russia in the country.
“This is about good versus evil,” Routh said, explaining that his initial goal was to serve among the foreign troops fighting for Ukraine. However, he states he was turned away and instead has focused on recruiting others to come and fight: “I think that everyone around the globe should be motivated to come here and support the Ukrainians and support the army no matter what gender, age, anything. Everybody should be here supporting the army.”

A would-be assassin targeted President Donald J. Trump at his Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach on Sunday afternoon around 1:30PM, as President Trump was golfing. The Trump campaign confirmed the incident, reporting shortly after that “President Trump is safe following gunshots in his vicinity.”
The Palm Beach Sheriff, alongside the FBI and U.S. Secret Service, explained that a Secret Service agent advancing the golf course “one or two” holes ahead of Trump and his golf partner Steve Witkoff encountered a man with a rifle, the barrel of which was poking out from the bushes on the course. At that point, the Secret Service engaged the individual, who was not hit and who fled, eventually making it to his vehicle.
At the same time, Secret Service agents accompanying the President “pounced” on him and covered him as they played the 5th hole.
A nearby witness captured an image of the man’s car – a black Nissan – which was relayed to local police, who picked up the suspect further down the road in Martin County, Florida. The man is believed to be a white male in his late 50s or early 60s.
The gunman had a backpack that contained a rifle and a GoPro video camera alongside his AK-47 with a scope. The Palm Beach county sheriff made clear that given the weapon and the scope, Trump’s proximity to the suspect – around 300 yards away – is not considered to be a particularly long distance.
President Trump issued a statement around 4PM EST, which read: “There were gunshots in my vicinity, but before rumors start spiraling out of control, I wanted you to hear this first: I AM SAFE AND WELL! Nothing will slow me down. I will NEVER SURRENDER! I will always love you for supporting me. Unity. Peace. Make America Great Again.”
The FBI is now in charge of the investigation, and the U.S. Secret Service reiterated that the threat level against Trump is very high.
In July, The The National Pulse’s Editor-in-Chief warned of a second attempt on the life of President Trump:

Hunter Biden’s former business associate, best friend, and frequent Capitol Hill hearing witness, Devon Archer, has stepped across the partisan aisle to support former President Donald J. Trump in November’s election. Ventura County Republican Party committeewoman Lori Mills posted a photo of Archer at a Beverly Hills, California fundraiser for the Trump campaign Thursday evening on X (formerly Twitter).
Great time tonight at President Trumps Fundraiser in Beverly Hills! Did you know Hunter Biden’s old business partner is now MAGA? Can’t blame him! pic.twitter.com/7NuetutcVF
Over the past two years, Archer has appeared before several House of Representatives committees during a Congressional investigation into the Biden family’s business interests. Archer has previously testified Hunter Biden would put his father, then-Vice President Joe Biden, on the phone during business meetings with some regularity, and there is suspicion the elder Biden used his political influence to protect his son’s business interests in Ukraine.
Additionally, a trove of documents supplied by Archer revealed the Federal Bureau of Investigation was aware in 2016 of Hunter Biden and his associates’ intentions to establish a new business venture in Liechtenstein. Hunter, at the time, was still serving on Burisma’s board, and the move raised additional concerns about compliance with the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA).
Archer is a key figure in the Biden family corruption investigation and impeachment inquiry. Formerly a close friend of Hunter Biden, both men played critical roles in Burisma’s Ukrainian energy business and served on the company’s board. Despite Archer and others’ testimony, the review of thousands of documents, and the release of a final impeachment inquiry report in August, the House of Representatives has yet to formally move against Joe Biden, who they accuse of being at the center of the Biden family’s corrupt business dealings.

Data guru Harry Enten is questioning whether Taylor Swift’s endorsement of Kamala Harris will provide a much-needed boost among the youth vote for the 2024 Democratic Party’s presidential nominee. According to the CNN analyst, Harris has lagged far behind the margins by which the 81-year-old incumbent Joe Biden won young voters in the 2020 election.
“Why does Kamala Harris welcome Taylor Swift’s support, why does she need the help?” Enten said during a Thursday segment reviewing pollingdata. “Let’s just point out something that I have been noting all along during this campaign, and that is the underperformance that both Joe Biden—and now even Kamala Harris—has among young voters.”
The data, reviewed by Enten, shows Biden with a 28-point polling margin over Trump among voters aged 18 to 29 in September of 2020. However, by July this year, Biden’s margin had collapsed to just seven points. Meanwhile, his data for Harris shows her with only a weak improvement over Biden’s 2024 numbers, clocking a 15-point margin this month.
Despite the Swift endorsement, Enten remains skeptical that Harris’s margin among young voters will significantly improve or match Biden’s margins in 2020. “The bottom line is Kamala Harris is—in fact—not doing as well among young voters as you might expect a Democrat to necessarily be doing based upon history.”
In addition to the youth vote being less enthusiastic about Harris than perceived, Enten notes that in several crucial swing states—namely Pennsylvania and North Carolina—Republicans have reversed the Democratic registration advantage. In both states, Democrats held around a 500,000 voter advantage in 2020. That lead has been erased, with Republicans now holding around a 150,000 vote advantage in both states.
