Former President Donald J. Trump has announced that he and Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris have agreed to participate in a debate on ABC on September 10. Trump indicates that the rules will be the same as those for the CNN debate he had with President Joe Biden.
Trump announced the move on his social media platform, Truth Social, on Tuesday afternoon. He referred to ABC as “by far the nastiest and most unfair newscaster in the business.” In late July, the former President got into a heated exchange with the broadcast network’s Rachel Scott at the 2024 National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) convention—with Trump referring to ABC as a “fake news” network.
According to Trump, both he and Harris will stand for the debate, and neither candidate will be allowed to bring notes or have access to questions before the debate. Harris and her campaign team had previously demanded a sit-down debate and wanted access to notes.
Trump added that Harris has yet to agree to the proposed September 4 debate on Fox News nor a possible third debate with NBC.
The debate will be Trump’s first withHarris and a major test for the Democratic Party nominee, who has been avoiding media interviews for weeks. Harris is still looking to build an edge against Trump in the polls following a lackluster performance at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in Chicago earlier this month. Voter surveys following the DNC suggest that Harris may be in trouble as she received little to no bump from the convention and that Trump has taken the lead in the polls.

A new poll suggests KamalaHarris received no significant polling bump from the Democratic National Convention (DNC). Typically, candidates for the two major political parties see some degree of boost in popularity following their respective party nominating conventions.
According to the survey, Harris holds a four-point advantage over former President Donald J. Trump nationally, with 48 percent to the latter’s 44 percent. The data remains unchanged from the figures recorded before the DNC was held last week. Historically, presidential nominees often experience a boost in support following their convention speeches. However, this recent poll suggests that Harris‘s address did not generate such an increase.
Despite Harris‘s slight lead over Trump, Republican consultant Mark Harris has laid out a convincing argument that polling continues to underestimate support for the former president, as it did in the 2016 and 2020 presidential cycles. He notes that pollsters have had difficulty modeling low-propensity voters and that a high degree of polling is impacted by response bias among college-educated voters.
The National Pulse reported on Monday that a separate post-DNC survey showed former President Trump retaking a slight edge in the 2024 presidential contest, leading Harris by one point. According to the poll, Trump leads Harris with 49 percent to the latter’s 48 percent.
Compounding election anxieties for Democrats is a new forecast showing Republicans will likely retain the House of Representatives. Currently, the Democrats have only a 43.9 percent chance of retaking the lower legislative body on Capitol Hill. Meanwhile, Republicans stand a 56.1 percent chance of retaining their majority.
It should be noted that the White House and House of Representatives votes often coincide, which would suggest that former President Trump is actually seeing his campaign strengthen in the immediate aftermath of the DNC.

RFK Jr. briefly ran for the Democratic nomination for 2024 before switching to being an independent candidate. He ended his independent presidential run to endorse Trump on Friday, revealing his transition team role on Monday. “I’ve been asked to go on the transition team… to help pick the people who will be running the government,” he told Tucker Carlson.
Kennedy is assisting the Trump campaign by promoting a ‘Make America Healthy Again’ platform. His focus is tackling Big Pharma corruption, chronic disease, and the corrosive impact of forever chemicals and other pollutants on public health.
Gabbard, a former Member of Congress and vice-chair of the Democratic National Committee (DNC), endorsed Trump on Monday. The military veteran praised Trump for his “action to de-escalate and prevent wars” during his first term, saying she is “confident that his first task will be to do the work to walk us back from the brink of war.”
Gabbard is helping with informal debate preparation sessions with Trump. She has experience debating KamalaHarris during the Democrats’ 2020 primary.
Kennedy and Gabbard are the transition team’s honorary chairs, joining Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, and Trump’s running mate, Senator J.D. Vance.
Brian Hughes, a senior adviser to the Trump campaign, commented on the new appointments, “We are proud that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard have been added to the Trump/Vance Transition team. We look forward to having their powerful voices on the team as we work to restore America’s greatness.”

A group of staffers who served on the failed John McCain presidential campaign in 2008, the failed Mitt Romney campaign in 2012, and in the George W. Bush White House is backing Democratic Party nominee KamalaHarris‘s 2024 presidential bid. The same group, totaling about 200 aides, endorsed Joe Biden in 2020, while a smaller group backed Hillary Clinton in 2016.
Mostly comprised of foreign policy aides and former Department of Justice (DOJ) officials, the group repeats anti-Trump tropes regarding Russia. In their public letter backing Harris, they write: “Abroad, democratic movements will be irreparably jeopardized as Trump and his acolyte J.D. Vance kowtow to dictators like Vladimir Putin while turning their backs on our allies.”
The National Pulse reported on Monday that former National Security Advisor turned top Trump critic H.R. McMaster conceded that the long-debunked Russiacollusionhoax hobbled some U.S. foreign policy efforts during the Trump administration. Democrat lawmakers and foreign policy officials who peddled the false conspiracy theory incidentally aided the efforts of Russia to sow discord in the United States and undermine our foreign policy goals, McMaster admits.
Among the signers are Lincoln Project co-founder Reed Galen, Mike Murphy, the McCain and Romney campaign strategist who oversway the spectacular collapse of Jeb Bush‘s 2016 campaign, and Mike Pence advisor Olivia Troye, who spoke before the Democratic National Convention (DNC) last week. The letter also appears to accidentally list Jen Millikin—a Bush White House communications staffer—twice.
The group of Republican establishment figures, Iraq War cheerleaders, and failed presidential campaign staffers join the likes of former Representative Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) and retired judge J. Michael Luttig in backing the far-left, openborders policies of KamalaHarris.
Luttig infamously helped lead the campaign to attempt to subvert democracy and bar former President Donald J. Trump from the ballot under the 14th Amendment. He also served as Boeing‘s general counsel from 2006 until 2019.

A federal judge in Texas has put the brakes on the Biden–Harris regime’s efforts to grant citizenship to up to 500,000 illegal immigrants married to U.S. citizens. Sixteen Republican-led states challenged the so-called Keeping Families Together scheme, and Judge J. Campbell Barker has now issued a temporary halt to its implementation.
The lawsuit challenges the Biden-Harris government’s authority to bypass Congress on immigration matters. Judge Barker, appointed by former President Donald J. Trump, found these concerns valid, ruling that the executive branch cannot unilaterally rewrite immigration laws. While the Keeping Families Together program remains open for applications, processing is on hold until the court fully reviews the case.
This decision is a significant blow to the Biden-Harris government’s ongoing efforts to weaken immigration controls, which most Americans believe are designed to create a “permanent majority” for the Democrats over time.
Keeping Families Together seeks to allow illegalaliens married to U.S. citizens to remain in the country during their legalization process, avoiding lengthy separations. Critics argue the scheme undermines the rule of law by rewarding illegal immigration—and incentivizes sham marriages.

Kamala Harris, who has presided over record-breaking illegal immigration since Joe Biden tasked her with tackling its “root causes” in 2021, now claims she will finish former President Donald J. Trump‘s border wall years after the Biden-Harris government halted its construction. Trump’s running mate, Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH), predicted she would “soon propose that we finish the border wall and Make America Great Again” on August 16, as she was stealing the America First leader’s “no tax on tips” policy.
Border security is a weak point for the Democrats in general and Harris, as “border czar,” in particular, but voters may doubt her sincerity when she claims she will finish the wall. Launching her failed 2019-20 run at the presidency, she denounced Trump’s wall as a “medieval vanity project.” In 2020, she insisted that “Trump’s border wall is a complete waste of taxpayer money and won’t make us any safer.” Shortly after becoming a Senator in 2017, she branded it a “stupid use of money” and vowed to “block any funding for it.”
During her ultra-liberal tenure as a California Senator, her anti-border rhetoric was not limited to the wall. She once compared the work of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to the activities of the Ku Klux Klan (KKK), and she continues to push for a “pathway to citizenship” for illegal aliens.
Senator Elizabeth Warren boasted in July that a Harris presidency would grant citizenship to millions of illegals.
Vance says the Democrat nominee’s embrace of the wall ahead of the November election is further proof she is “a fake,” observing, “If she wants to build the border wall, she could start right now!”
Trump’s border wall is just a stupid use of money. I will block any funding for it.

Meta CEO and Chairman Mark Zuckerberg is admitting that his social media platform, Facebook, was pressured by the Biden-Harris government to censor Americans who posted about the COVID-19 pandemic on his website. Additionally, the tech billionaire acknowledges that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) had warned them about potential Russian disinformation regarding Burisma and the Biden family, which directly resulted in the New York Post‘s Hunter Biden laptop story being suppressed on Facebook.
The admissions come in a letter from Zuckerberg to House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH). This appears to be the most definitive acknowledgment by the social media titan yet of the scale and depth of the Biden-Harris government and FBI‘s role in censoring American citizens and the free press.
COVID CENSORSHIP.
“In 2021, senior officials from the Biden Administration, including the White House, repeatedly pressured our teams for months to censor certain COVID-19 content, including humor and satire, and expressed a lot of frustration with our teams when we didn’t agree,” the Meta CEO and Facebook founder writes. Zuckerberg continues, acknowledging it was ultimately his company’s decision to censor users: “I believe the government pressure was wrong, and I regret that we were not more outspoken about it… we’re ready to push back if something like this happens again.”
THE LAPTOP FROM HELL.
Addressing Facebook‘s interference in the 2020 presidential race by suppressing the Hunter Biden laptop story just weeks before election day, Zuckerberg again pointed the finger at the federal government—namely the FBI.
“In a separate situation, the FBI warned us about a potential Russian disinformation operation about the Biden family and Burisma in the lead up to the 2020 election,” Zuckerberg states, while contending that the FBI briefing is what directly led to his company’s decision to percent users from seeing the New York Poststory. He adds: “It’s since been made clear that the reporting was not Russian disinformation, and in retrospect, we shouldn’t have demoted the story.”
The National Pulse’s Facebook account has been virtually unusable since we were one of the first outlets to meaningfully report from the hard drive.
Zuckerberg told Chairman Jordan that Facebook has subsequently changed its policies and that news stories will no longer be demoted while being reviewed by the social media platform’s fact-checkers.
ELECTION DONATIONS.
In the final part of his letter to Chairman Jordan, Zuckerberg promises to end his donations to progressive-controlled election groups like the Center for Tech and Civic Life (CTCL), first exposed here on The National Pulse five years ago.
“Apart from content moderation, I want to address the contributions I made during the last presidential election cycle to support electoral infrastructure,” the Meta Chairman and CEO writes, adding: “I know that some people believe this work benefited one party over another. My goal is to be neutral and play a role one way or another—or even appear to be playing a role.”
Zuckerberg concludes: “So I don’t plan on making a similar contribution this cycle.”
The National Pulse has previously reported that Zuckerberg‘s contributions have helped fund an army of pro-Democratic Party election workers and poll watchers who have been instrumental in blocking Republican-backed election integrity efforts. Democratic Party corporate media allies have tried to claim Republicans “weaponized Mark Zuckerberg’s donations,” however his admission to Jordan suggests the Republican accusations are true.

1. Biden-Harris Admin "pressured" Facebook to censor Americans.
2. Facebook censored Americans.
3. Facebook throttled the Hunter Biden laptop story.

Behind-the-scenes political intrigue exclusively for Pulse+ subscribers.
I find it especially funny given that this website you are reading right now was at the cutting edge of most of these issues many years ago, but of course, the kudos will now go to the Congressmen who failed to heed our warnings and the internet influencers and conservative establishment websites that only cottoned on several years later

New data shows former President Donald J. Trump retaking the lead ahead of November’s presidential election. According to the poll, Trump leads the Democratic Party’s nominee, KamalaHarris, with 49 percent to the latter’s 48 percent. While Harris jumped to a lead in several surveys following the 81-year-old Democratic incumbent Joe Biden‘s announcement that he would not seek re-election, the latest data suggests the contest has once again narrowed.
In addition to former President Trump retaking the edge over Harris, the data suggests that the Democrats could not generate much—if any—polling bump following the conclusion of their party convention in Chicago last week. Plagued by delays, Kamala Harris’s speech accepting the Democratic nomination didn’t occur until well after prime time at nearly 11:00PM on Thursday.
It's a tied race in @EchelonInsights' latest poll, taken entirely after the DNC.
Meanwhile, CNN anchor and Russia hoax pusher Jake Tapper claims in a post on X (formerly Twitter) that his sources inside the Democratic Party are admitting the presidential race is essentially tied. The sources contend that while Harris appears to be leading by only a point or two in Wisconsin and Michigan, former President Trump appears to hold a several-point lead in the critical state of Pennsylvania.
While Harris has taken back some of the ground that Joe Biden had lost to Trump in Pennsylvania, the current Democratic Party nominee is losing support among white male voters. The falling support in this demographic has allowed former President Trump to maintain his edge in the state.
Additionally, the new poll suggests that Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s endorsement of Trump last Friday has given the campaign new energy. Before the endorsement, Harris had led Trump by two points in the previous poll.
Among the top issues for voters is the cost of living, with 41 percent listing it as their primary or secondary concern—immigration and the economy round out the top three issues with 27 and 24 percent, respectively.

Former President Donald J. Trump attended a memorial ceremony for the 13 American servicemen and women murdered during the Abbey Gate bombing amid the Biden-Harris government’s botched withdrawal from Afghanistan. President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris skipped the event, as did former presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush.
President Trump attended the ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery, Virginia, to mark the third anniversary of the Abbey Gate attack. By disrupting the timetable of former President Trump’s planned withdrawal from Afghanistan, the Biden-Harris government created a chaotic situation in which the Taliban overran Kabul while U.S. and Western personnel were still present. Hundreds were killed or injured when a suicide bomber, allegedly from the Islamic State-Khorasan Province (ISIS-K) group, targeted would-be evacuees and the U.S. troops overseeing them at Kabul airport’s Abbey Gate.
The Biden-Harris government also surrendered Bagram Air Base, which Trump intended to retain, and a huge number of U.S. ground vehicles, helicopters, and weapons, which Trump intended to evacuate. The Taliban paraded these spoils through the streets earlier this month.
Trump has criticized Vice President Kamala Harris for her role in the debacle, recalling that she was “the last person in the room with Biden when the two of them decided to pull the troops out of Afghanistan” and was “all for it.”

Kamala Harris is seeking to change the terms of her ABC debate with former President Donald J. Trump, with the America First leader’s camp saying her team wanted a sit-down debate with opening statements and notes. Harris has already backed out of a debate on the less-friendly Fox News network in front of a “full arena audience.”
Harris’s camp is currently quibbling over whether or not microphones should remain “hot” while the rival candidates are not speaking. Trump, who asked for hot mics in 2020, agreed to muted mics and no audience for the upcoming ABC debate and his previous CNN debate against Joe Biden—with the Democrats being the ones who put forward these demands. Now, Harris’s team is asking for mics to be left hot on ABC after all and criticizing Trump for declining to reopen the negotiations—to distract from the fact Harris has been demanding even more favorable terms than Biden.
“Enough with the games. We accepted the ABC debate under the exact same terms as the CNN debate. The Harris camp, after having already agreed to the CNN rules, asked for a seated debate, with notes, and opening statements. We said no changes to the agreed upon rules,” said Jason Miller, senior adviser to President Trump.
“If Kamala Harris isn’t smart enough to repeat the messaging points her handlers want her to memorize, that’s their problem,” Miller continued.
“This seems to be a pattern for the Harris campaign. They won’t allow Harris to do interviews, they won’t allow her to do press conferences, and now they want to give her a cheat-sheet for the debate. My guess is that they’re looking for a way to get out of any debate with President Trump,” he concluded.
