President Trump has signaled that he is unsure whether he should debate Vice President Kamala Harris again, citing his victory on Tuesday night.
“When you win the debate, I don’t know that I want to do another debate,” Trump told Fox on Wednesday morning.
“We’re looking at it, but, you know, when you win, you don’t really necessarily have to do it a second time. So we’ll see, but we had a, I thought we had a great debate last night,” Trump said. “I just don’t know. We’ll think about it.”
Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield, co-founders of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream, have teamed up with the far-left advocacy group MoveOn.org to launch a new ice cream flavor called “Kamala’s Coconut Jubilee.”
The name comes from Harris’s bizarre story about how her mother needed to remind her, as a child, that she was not born by falling out of a coconut tree.
This “special edition” coconut-flavored ice cream with caramel swirls and red, white, and blue sprinkles is part of a voter engagement effort ahead of the 2024 presidential election.
The campaign will feature a “Scoop the Vote” ice cream truck tour targeting key battleground states, including Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona, and Nevada, in an effort to boost voter registration and turnout for Vice President Kamala Harris.
MoveOn’s executive director Rahna Epting emphasized that engaging non-voters through unconventional methods like free ice cream is crucial to securing a Harris victory against Donald Trump.
Ben Cohen, who is releasing the ice cream under his “Ben’s Best” label, said the goal is to return “common decency” to the White House by supporting Harris. Harris had an affair with married Mayor Willie Brown to get her start in politics before moving on to date Montel Williams in a failed bid to become a celebrity socialite.

The father of a boy who was killed in Springfield, Ohio, by a Haitian immigrant who was driving without a valid license has stated that he wishes the killer was a white man, so that conservatives would stop talking about the case.
Nathan Clark stated, “You know, I wish that my son, Aiden Clark, was killed by a 60-year-old white man.”
“I bet you never thought anyone would ever say something so blunt. But if that guy killed my 11-year-old son, the incessant group of hate-spewing people would leave us alone,” he added.

Clark spoke at a press conference this week after Senator J.D. Vance commented on the case, saying, “Do you know what’s confirmed? That a child was murdered by a Haitian migrant who had no right to be here.”
Former President Donald J. Trump also mentioned the situation in Springfield, Ohio, during his debate with Vice President Kamala Harris this week, highlighting reports that Haitian migrants have been eating people’s pets and other animals.
Corporate media outlets deny that Haitians have been eating wildlife in the town. However, audio released this week reveals that residents have contacted Springfield police regarding Haitian migrants being involved in the poaching of local geese.
Around 20,000 Haitians have moved into Springfield under the Biden-Harris regime, roughly a third of the town’s 58,000 population. Locals have expressed frustration with the influx, from complaints of Haitians eating pets and local wildlife to housing shortages, increased hospital wait times, and illegals being given taxpayer cash that prices locals out of the rental market.

The Biden-Harris Department of Justice (DOJ) has backed down on nearly half of its pending obstruction charges against January 6 defendants, following a Supreme Court ruling making it harder to pursue such charges. Many January 6 defendants were prosecuted for obstructing an official proceeding—namely, Congress’s certification of the 2020 electoral votes.
However, the Supreme Court ruled that this was an abuse of the relevant statute, originally intended to punish people for actions such as destroying documents to impede financial crime investigations in the wake of the Enron scandal.
Last week, the DOJ dropped obstruction charges in about 60 of 126 pending cases. They plan to proceed with charges against 13 defendants but are still deciding on the remainder. For those already tried, the DOJ has agreed to dismiss 40 of 133 obstruction charges, with reviews ongoing for the rest.
The DOJ is trying to downplay these moves, saying, “There are zero cases where a defendant was charged only for [obstruction of an official proceeding],” so “even if the government foregoes this charge, every charged defendant will continue to face exposure to other criminal charges.”
However, 17 defendants were solely convicted of obstruction, showing the charges had real consequences for many.

TIME magazine has had to issue a humiliating correction after asserting that Kamala Harris does not support taxpayer-funded gender transition surgeries for illegal alien prisoners. In its initial coverage of Harris’s debate with Donald Trump on ABC News, the magazine had asserted that Trump “falsely claimed that Harris “wants to do transgender operations on illegal aliens in prison.'”
Trump’s claim was not false. In 2019, Harris really did tell the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) that she would use “executive authority to ensure that transgender and non-binary people who rely on the state for medical care—including those in prison and immigration detention—will have access to comprehensive treatment associated with gender transition, including all necessary surgical care.”
“It is important that transgender individuals who rely on the state for care receive the treatment they need, which includes access to treatment associated with gender transition,” Harris explained. “That’s why, as [California’s] Attorney General, I pushed the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to provide gender transition surgery to state inmates.”
Harris also told the ACLU she supports decriminalizing illegal drug abuse and huge cuts to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) funding and operations, including an “end” to all immigration detention.
“The original version of this story mischaracterized as false Donald Trump’s statement accusing Kamala Harris of supporting ‘transgender operations on illegal aliens in prison,'” TIME wrote in its correction.
“As a presidential candidate in 2019, Harris filled out a questionnaire saying she supported taxpayer-funded gender transition treatment for detained immigrants,” the magazine admitted.

A snap poll following Tuesday evening’s 2024 presidential debate between former President Donald J. Trump and Kamala Harris reveals that a near majority of respondents believe Trump was the victor. The survey, conducted by the Democracy Institute, found 45 percent of respondents believe Trump won the contest. Meanwhile, 34 percent say Harris was the better candidate. Just 21 percent say they felt the debate ended in a draw.
The telephone-based poll surveyed 600 likely American voters and was put in the field immediately following Tuesday’s debate hosted by ABC News. Despite respondents by and large believing Trump came out on top in the debate, it appears the contest did little to change the dynamics of the 2024 presidential race.
When those polled were asked whether Harris’s debate performance changed their opinion of the candidate, 53 percent said it made no difference in their likelihood to vote for the Democratic Party nominee. Additionally, only 24 percent said Harris’s performance made it more likely they would vote for her, while 23 percent said it made it less likely.
Conversely, 51 percent said the debate did not impact their likelihood of voting for former President Trump. Meanwhile, 27 percent reported being more likely to vote for the Republican nominee. Just 22 percent said they’re less inclined to support Trump.
For several weeks, polling has shown the 2024 presidential race in a statistical tie, with Trump or Harris having a slight edge in key swing states. Early data, like the Democracy Institute survey, suggests the Tuesday debate will have little impact on propelling one candidate ahead of the other just before early voting begins in several states.
Patrick Basham, the Director of the Democracy Institute, was one of the few to get it right in 2016 with Trump and Brexit in the UK.

Former President Donald Trump has seen significant gains among independent and Latino voters in a recent NPR/PBS News/Marist poll, positioning him closely against Vice President Kamala Harris. The poll indicates a shift in voter support, with Trump now leading Harris by three points among independents in a multi-candidate contest, at 49 percent to Harris’s 46 percent. This reflects a 14-point gain since the previous poll in August, where Harris led by 11 points.
The poll also highlights a notable shift among Latino voters, with Trump now holding a four-point lead at 51 percent to Harris’s 47 percent. This represents a substantial change from August, when Harris led by 15 points.
These changes in polling numbers come after Robert F. Kennedy Jr. exited the race and endorsed Trump. Additionally, the initial surge in support for Harris following her nomination appears to have stabilized.
The latest poll shows Harris leading Trump by a slim margin among registered voters, 49 percent to 48 percent. This is a slight change from August, where Harris led 48 percent to 45 percent in a multi-candidate scenario.
Key issues influencing voter decisions reveal varying support for both candidates. Harris is favored among voters who value honesty, while Trump is preferred for strong leadership. Harris also holds a 15-point lead among women, whereas Trump leads by 12 points among men. On specific issues, Trump scores higher on immigration and the economy, while Harris leads on abortion.

Kamala Harris’s running mate, Tim Walz, voted against legislation mandating lifesaving care for babies who survive abortions in Congress and repealed legislation requiring such survivors to be reported in Minnesota. The Nebraska-born Democrat initially voted in favor of H.R.4712, the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, but wrote to then-Speaker Paul Ryan saying he had done so in error and requesting his vote be reversed.
On becoming Governor of Minnesota in 2019, he continued to pursue an anti-life agenda, repealing legislation mandating that reasonable measures be taken to “preserve the life and health” of children born alive after botched abortions. The omnibus bill containing the repeal measures also repealed requirements for abortionists to report cases in which infants survive abortion and whether those infants receive care, and the Positive Alternatives Act which provided support for mothers considering abortions.
Babies were recorded as having initially survived their abortions multiple times before Walz repealed the reporting requirements. Three were reported in 2019, although two were allowed to die, and the third received only “comfort care measures” rather than lifesaving treatment.
Some babies who survive their abortions have been saved by medical intervention. Melissa Ohden is one high-profile case, with a nurse finding her discarded in a bag of medical waste, making “weak cries and slight movements” following a botched abortion in Iowa in 1977.
In testimony to Congress, Ohden described how de facto “post-birth” abortions were the norm at the hospital where she was born, with it being common practice to “leave born alive infants like me to die in the utility closet.”

Tim Walz not only believes in abortion at all stages of a pregnancy, but even after birth.
Walz accidentally voted in favor of HR4712, which provided medical care to babies who survived abortion—but then REVERSED his vote.

U.S. Census Bureau data shows the average American family was better off economically when former President Donald J. Trump was in the White House. The government agency data reveals that in 2019 the median household income was $81,210. Meanwhile, in 2023—under Joe Biden and Kamala Harris—household median income dropped to $80,610.
Additionally, while the data shows household income across most demographics recovering post-COVID-19 pandemic, this is not the case for Asian and Hispanic Americans. This may, in part, explain the accelerated shift of Hispanic and Latino voters away from the Democratic Party and towards former President Trump.
Under Trump’s White House, household incomes increased markedly for all racial and ethnic demographics until the pandemic.

The National Pulse has previously reported that the inflation crisis kicked off by Biden andHarris’s reckless spending policies drastically increased the income level needed to maintain a satisfactory quality of life for a family of four in the U.S. An inability by the Federal Reserve to reign in the crisis resulted in interest rates remaining significantly elevated in the country for well over a year—restricting business access to capital and making loans, such as mortgages, prohibitively expensive for most Americans.
Even more concerning, the Biden-Harris government’s Bureau of Labor Statistics now admits nearly one million fewer jobs than initially reported were added to the U.S. economy over the past year. This news has raised concerns about a significant slowing in the labor market, prompting the Federal Reserve to consider cutting interest rates later this month despite not having inflation under control.

Raheem Kassam, Editor-in-Chief of The National Pulse, believes the debate between former President Donald J. Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris was largely a “score draw,” but the closing statements gave the America First leader the edge. In conversation with Harry Cole, political editor at The Sun, Kassam said Harris was “at least coherent” compared to Joe Biden, but “very smug and scripted,” especially in her closing remarks. Trump, on the other hand, came across as “indignant”—but “righteously indignant” about “the state of the nation, which a lot of those people in swing states are.”
On the issues, Kassam said the difference in rhetoric between Trump and Harris on Ukraine was striking. Trump, he observed, “talks about war in the sense of human life and human cost,” while Harris “talks about that war, and any war… in the sense of the propping up of an ideology.”
He recalled voters’ dissatisfaction with the cost of the “forever wars” in the Middle East and the way none of them seemed to end in America’s favor—particularly the withdrawal from Afghanistan, botched by the Biden-Harris government in 2021.
