DATA: Trump Gains Working Class Voters as Kamala Sees Union Support Collapse.

President Donald J. Trump is building strong support among working-class and union voters, potentially outperforming any Republican nominee in recent memory. According to CNN data guru Harry Enten, recent polling suggests the former president is making significant gains among union families, trade school graduates, and minority voters without college degrees.

Current data suggests that Kamala Harris only leads among union households by nine points, a stark decline from Bill Clinton’s margin in 1992, which sat at 30 points. Concerningly for Harris, her predecessor—81-year-old Joe Biden—won union households by 19 points over Trump in 2020. Meanwhile, Harris—the current Democratic Party presidential nominee—is far closer to Hillary Clinton‘s 12-point margin in 2016.

Despite left-wing political dominance among working-class voters for several decades, Trump has broken through and made considerable headway in traditional Democratic Party strongholds.

“More so perhaps than any other bloc, the folks who go to trade school, vocational school, that has moved from being a core Democratic group to now being a core group of Donald Trump’s massive amount of support among the working class,” Enten says.

Among trade school graduates, Trump is ahead of Harris by 31 points. This marks a significant shift from 1992, when Bill Clinton won this group by seven points, representing a 38-point swing towards the Republican Party over the past three decades.

Enten also noted Trump’s gains among working-class minority voters. Harris leads this group by 28 points, down from the 45-point margin of the Biden-Harris ticket in 2020. Trump’s surge in support is primarily among racial and ethnic minorities without college degrees, reflecting a broader trend of increased GOP appeal to working-class voters.

The Teamsters Are Backing the Dockworkers’ Strike.

The Teamsters Union has announced it is backing the International Longshoremen’s Association (ILA) strike at 36 ports across the eastern seaboard of the United States. In a statement issued just hours before the strike began, the Teamsters indicated they would not cross picket lines. This means the logistics union won’t haul freight from ports where the dockworkers are on strike.

“The International Brotherhood of Teamsters, including our members in the freight industry, stand in full solidarity with the International Longshoremen’s Association as they fight for a fair and just contract with the ocean carriers represented by USMX,” Teamsters president Sean O’Brien said in a statement late yesterday. Taking issue with what he characterized as meddling by the Biden-Harris government, O’Brien continued: “The U.S. government should stay the f**k out of this fight and allow union workers to withhold their labor for the wages and benefits they have earned.”

“Don’t forget—Teamsters do not cross picket lines. The Teamsters Union is 100 percent committed to standing with our Longshoremen brothers and sisters until they win the contract they deserve,” the Teamsters leader added.

The Biden-Harris government’s Department of Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg has met several times with the port operators—namely USMX—in the lead-up to the strike. Many in organized labor remain skeptical of Buttigieg, a former McKinsey & Company management consultant. The Longshoremen union’s hesitancy in dealing with the Biden-Harris cabinet secretary due to his corporate consulting ties has further complicated talks.

Earlier this month, the Teamsters announced they will not endorse a presidential candidate in the 2024 election—the first time in nearly 30 years. The union’s internal polling, however, shows rank-and-file members overwhelming support President Donald J. Trump against Kamala Harris.

Biden-Harris Lose Yet Another $30m Drone in Failing War.

The Biden-Harris government has confirmed the loss of another $30 million MQ-9 Reaper drone in Yemen. The U.S. military was tasked with fighting another interminable war in the country against the Iran-backed Houthis in January after the group stepped up attacks on international shipping in the Red Sea.

So far, the campaign against the Houthis has yielded few results, with the group expanding its attacks to include targets in the Arabian Sea, Mediterranean Sea, and Indian Ocean. Joe Biden acknowledged the campaign was failing early on but insisted it would continue regardless: “[W]hen you say ‘[are the strikes] working,’ are they stopping the Houthis? No. Are they going to continue? Yes,” he told reporters.

Several MQ-9 Reaper drones have been lost throughout the war in Yemen this year, with a video purporting to show another one being shot down circulating on social media on Monday. The Pentagon acknowledges a Reaper has been “downed” but has not provided further details.

The Houthis claim they have downed a total of 11 Reapers—around $330 million in U.S. military hardware. The Pentagon claims the Houthis’ numbers are “not accurate,” but two Reaper losses in under a week were confirmed earlier this month, and there was another confirmed loss in May. Previous losses have also been confirmed.

MSNBC Guest Suggests Hispanics Support Trump to ‘Be White.’

A guest of the far-left MSNBC network claims that Hispanic voters are turning toward former President Donald J. Trump because they “want to be white” instead of being associated with immigrants. Maria Hinojosa, a host on the publicly funded broadcaster NPR, argues that the surge of support for Trump among Latinos is due to them wanting to be white, saying, “Latinos want to be white. They want to be with the cool kids.”

Hinojosa alleges many Hispanics “don’t want to be identified with all of those other immigrants that Donald Trump speaks so badly of, including me as a Mexican immigrant, so they’re like, ‘Let’s be with him.’”

Hinojosa admits that Hispanic support for Trump is a major issue for Vice President Kamala Harris and her campaign, saying it could even cost Harris the election in November.

Her comments come just months after leftist journalist and author Paola Ramos bizarrely claimed that “white supremacist tendencies” are driving Latino support for Trump.

“We can be minorities, but we too can perpetuate racism. Latinos, particularly the more generations are in this country, are not immune to nativism,” Ramos said.

In July, a report revealed that Latinos, who make up 20 percent of Nevada’s overall voters, are turning away from the Democrats, largely over immigration issues and the disastrous border policies of the Biden-Harris regime. A poll released in June revealed that as many as two-thirds of Hispanic voters want illegal immigrants deported back to their home countries.

Kamala Has Weakest Democrat Lead Among Latinos and Union Workers in a Generation.

Vice President Kamala Harris has the weakest advantage among Latinos and union households of any Democratic candidate in multiple election cycles. An NBC News/Telemundo/CNBC poll shows the 59-year-old Californian with an advantage of just 14 points, down from 36 points at the same juncture in the election cycle in 2020, 50 points in 2016, and 39 points in 2012.

Notably, Joe Biden’s Latino advantage on Election Day in 2020 was 33 points lower than where his campaign stood in polling prior to votes being cast. Hillary Clinton also underperformed, at 38 points. Additionally, Democrats fear polls generally undercount support for former President Donald J. Trump.

Harris’s polling on particular issues will also concern her party. Trump leads the Democratic Party nominee on the economy, inflation, cost of living, and securing the border. The economy and the cost of living rate as Latinos’ top issues.

Separate polling on union households also shows Harris in dire straits. CNN host Harry Enten notes Trump is up by 31 percent among trade school graduates, with Harris’s overall advantage among union households standing at just nine points—more than halving Biden‘s 19-point advantage and lower even than Clinton’s historically low 2016 numbers.

In recent weeks, there have been several bleak snapshots regarding working-class support for Harris; for instance, the Teamsters union is declining to endorse a candidate for the first time in almost 30 years, and internal polling shows that almost 60 percent of members support Trump.

REVEALED: Key Kamala Border Backer Handed Plea Deals to Pedos & Killers.

Victoria (Tori) Verber Salazar, one of the introductory speakers at Kamala Harris’s border event in Arizona on Friday night, is a former California District Attorney who was ousted by voters after a tenure of failure. In 2022, Verber Salazar was rebuked by dozens of local attorneys in her own office in San Joaquin County, who declared they had “no confidence in their boss, DA Tori Verber Salazar, to effectively manage prosecutions.” 

She lost a re-election bid just two months later.

The National Pulse can also reveal that Verber Salazar, who described herself as a Republican while introducing Harris in Douglas, Arizona, on Friday afternoon, has been a Harris donor since at least 2016, contributing to her Senate election fund. She was also an active participant in the nationwide, often violent Black Lives Matter protests in the summer of 2020. There is no evidence of her contributing to any Republican candidates.

SOFT TOUCH SALAZAR.

First elected in 2014 and re-elected uncontested in 2018, Verber Salazar became synonymous with a soft-touch approach to crime in Stockton, California. 

Her own rap sheet of failure includes a plea deal with businessman Lyle Burgess, who sexually assaulted a 5-year-old. Burgess pleaded no contest to unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor, but Salazar and her team let him off easy, with just 90 days in jail and five years of probation. Stunningly, Burgess was not required to register as a sex offender thanks to the plea deal.

Another example is that of Tyrone McAllister, who robbed and beat a man but took a plea deal with Salazar that saw him serve just six months in jail. Two months after his release, McAllister was charged with shooting a man in Oakland, California.

Salazar’s soft touch approach is also believed to have been responsible for the murder of an infant by its own father during the COVID-19 pandemic.

BRENNAN CENTER.

Linked with far-left national political organizations, Salazar is believed to have adopted the Soros-funded Brennan Center’s 21 Principles as “a blueprint for elected prosecutors seeking to move away from past, incarceration-based approaches.”

The principles include seeking “diversion” (no incarceration) for serious felonies, supporting legislation to reduce sentence lengths, eliminating mandatory minimum sentences, and more far-left criminal justice reforms.

In 2021, the Stockton Police Association President, Chuck Harris, described Salazar as having “pro-criminal alliances,” adding: “A vote of no confidence is usually given by those who work directly for a specific individual they’ve lost confidence in. We will leave that vote to those directly affected by District Attorney Verber Salazar’s decisions and behavior.

“However, based on District Attorney Verber Salazar’s recent pro-criminal alliances, the SPOA is not confident that District Attorney Verber Salazar has victim rights in mind any longer.”

ONGOING INVESTIGATIONS.

At the beginning of 2024, Salazar and her now-evacuated office were the subject of a fraud probe that continues to this day.

“Today, District Attorney Ron Freitas alerted the California Department of Insurance and the Office of the California Attorney General to the findings of potential fraud uncovered in the handling of the Auto Insurance Fraud Grant Program dating back to 2017 under the prior District Attorney’s Administration,” a statement from May 2024 reads.

That Harris and her campaign team would place Salazar at the forefront of their campaign with just 35 days to go is likely indicative of their own approach to crime should Harris accede to the Oval Office.

Biden-Harris Released 13,000+ Convicted Killers Into the U.S.

The Biden-Harris government has released over 13,000 murderers, over 5,000 sexual assault convicts, and over 662,000 criminals overall into the United States. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency (ICE) Deputy Director Patrick J. Lechleitner released the statistics, which Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-TX) published on X (formerly Twitter) on Friday, September 27.

According to the ICE report, 13,099 illegal alien convicted killers have been released into the United States, along with 15,811 criminals convicted of sexual assault, another 9,461 convicted of other sex offenders, 2,521 kidnappers, and 56,533 dangerous drug offenders, among others.

Lechleitner claims that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has “removed or returned more than 893,000 individuals” since mid-May last year. However, he also admits that a total of 662,566 illegals with criminal histories have illegally entered the United States and remain in the country. Of the total still in the U.S. illegally, just under 15,000 are currently being detained by ICE, while the remainder remain at large.

“As of July 21, 2024, there were 662,566 noncitizens with criminal histories on ICE’s national docket—13,099 criminally convicted MURDERS! Americans deserve to be SAFE in our own communities,” Rep. Gonzales said.

Under the border policies of the Biden-Harris regime, millions of illegals have flowed into the United States, including notorious gang members like those belonging to Venezuela’s Tren de Aragua. Many illegals have committed heinous crimes after entering the country, with several high-profile murders linked to illegals, including the killing of nursing student Laken Riley in February of this year.

In one notable case, the Biden-Harris regime released a Peruvian gang leader wanted in connection to 23 murders into the country earlier this year. Gianfranco Torres-Navarro, lead of the “Los Killers,” allegedly specializes in contract killings.

ICYMI: Biden Admits Delegating Both Domestic AND Foreign Policy to Kamala.

President Joe Biden is admitting to delegating much of his domestic and foreign policy to Vice President Kamala Harris amid ongoing concerns about the 81-year-old’s fitness for public office. The octogenarian Democrat praised Harris in an interview on The View earlier this week, stating that she was involved in all aspects of his decision-making.

“As vice president, there wasn’t a single thing that I did that she couldn’t do, and so I was able to delegate her responsibility on everything from foreign policy to domestic policy,” Biden said, seemingly acknowledging that Harris implemented much of his government’s deeply unpopular agenda.


The admission by Biden is a one-two punch for Democrats, further undermining public confidence in his ability to execute the duties of his office and tying Harris to his political legacy. Since replacing Biden as the Democratic Party’s 2024 presidential nominee in July, Harris has sought to distance herself from her boss. However, President Biden has repeatedly resisted Harris’s attempts to evade blame, telling reporters in August that Harris is “not going to” run away from his disastrous economic record.

In addition to the potential impacts on the presidential race, Biden’s televised comments are renewing concerns regarding his advanced age and cognitive decline. Fears over the 81-year-old Democrat’s mental state resulted in a widespread revolt among his political allies after a confused and impaired June debate performance. The Democratic Party rebellion resulted in Biden ending his re-election bid through a post on X (formerly Twitter) on July 21.

The National Pulse reported just days after Biden exited the 2024 race that nearly two-thirds of Americans believe his cognitive decline constitutes a national security threat. Harris is also facing scrutiny over allegations she and other White House officials have worked to hide Biden’s mental impairment from the American people.

Who is the Haitian, Biden-Harris Ally Trying to File Charges on Trump and Vance?

A so-called migrant advocacy leader from San Diego who has visited the Biden-Harris White House at least six times in 2023 and 2024 has initiated criminal charges against President Donald Trump and Ohio Senator JD Vance for their comments related to Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio.

Guerline Jozef, who leads the Haitian Bridge Alliance, filed the charges, alleging Trump and Vance made defamatory statements about Haitians, claiming they may be involved in eating neighborhood pets. The charges include aggravated menacing and disruptive public service. Ohio law permits private citizens to file criminal complaints directly to the court, which will then determine whether to pursue or dismiss the charges.

Jozef’s allegations stem from Vance’s tweet suggesting that Haitian migrants may be abducting and eating pets in Springfield, a claim that Trump echoed during a debate with Vice President Kamala Harris. “In Springfield, they are eating the dogs. The people that came in, they are eating the cats,” Trump stated.

Audio has emerged, however, of locals in Springfield complaining of Haitians poaching local geese and ducks.

TIES TO BIDEN, ISLAMISTS, & RADICALS.

Jozef also has ties to the Biden-Harris regime, and White House visitor records show she visited four times in 2023 and twice this year, meeting with President Biden personally at least twice. Despite access to the Biden White House, Jozef has been critical of the 81-year-old Democrat on social media, calling on his government to end even the modicum of deportation orders it has issued.

In addition, the Haitian Bridge Alliance leader has proudly touted a photograph with noted Islamist and anti-semite Linda Sarsour just weeks after the barbaric October 7 Hamas terror attacks against Israel. The photo was posted just as the Jewish state began military operations aimed at freeing over 200 hostages taken by Hamas and ending the terrorist group’s presence in Gaza.

Jozef’s radical ties, however, extend beyond Islamists. In the Spring of 2023, she served as a distinguished lecturer at the Refugee Film Festival, sponsored by the International Rescue Committee (IRC). The IRC is a U.S. taxpayer-funded nongovernment organization run by David Miliband, former British Foreign Minister, member of the Labour Party, and oft-tapped future UK Prime Minister. The group has played a significant role in bringing a flood of illegal immigrant asylum seekers into the U.S.

Subodh Chandra, Jozef’s attorney, emphasized the severe impact of these allegations on the local community. He claimed widespread fear and disruption of public services due to bomb threats, which turned out to be hoaxes from abroad. Chandra likewise appears to be a Biden-Harris ally. He appears in a photograph with Democratic candidate Harris in his X profile and posted a Tweet in 2019 showing Harris with his mother.

In response, a Trump campaign spokesman, Steven Cheung, defended the former president, arguing that his comments were meant to highlight perceived failures in the nation’s immigration system.

Fox Claims a ‘Leading’ Cop Group Endorsed Kamala. It’s Actually a Gun Grab Group That Has Only Existed for 3 Months.

Fox News reporter Paul Steinhauser recently touted the endorsement of Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris by Police Leaders for Community Safety, describing it as a “leading national law enforcement group” on par with the Fraternal Order of Police (FOP), the International Union of Police Associations (IUPA), and the National Association of Police Organizations (NAPO), all of which have endorsed former President Donald J. Trump.

However, while the FOP, IUPA, and NAPO are many decades old and represent hundreds of thousands of police officers, Police Leaders for Community Safety is a mere “advocacy organization” that has only existed since June.

Steinhauser, who previously reported for the far-left Daily Beast and served as CNN‘s political editor, claims that Police Leaders for Community Safety is a “major law enforcement group” and accepts its description of itself as “nonpartisan.” However, it appears to exist exclusively to promote leftist policies and politicians.

The Fox report produced a cavalcade of fake news reporting on the subject, including this local New Jersey paper’s article falsely claiming the recently-created group “normally backs Trump.”

Leading member Cynthia Herriott, who resigned as Interim Acting Police Chief in Rochester, New York, in 2021 after one scandal-ridden year, said in June that gun control would be the group’s main focus, alongside issues such as “accessibility of elections”—generally code for Democratic priorities such as fewer identity checks on voters and greater use of insecure voting methods such as mail-in ballots.

Vice President Kamala Harris’s lack of support among genuine police groups is unsurprising, as she previously compared police to slavers and backed the violent Black Lives Matter (BLM) protests and associated initiatives to defund police forces in 2020.

Harris also solicited donations for groups paying the bail of those taking part in BLM riots, in which multiple serving and retired police officers were killed or seriously injured.
