2024 Elections

CNN's Dana Bash lost her patience with Sen. Tim Scott on Sunday morning after he first refused to encourage Donald Trump to stop spreading conspiracy rumors about Tuesday's election and then the South Carolina Republican blamed the media for spreading "misinformation."

During his appearance on CNN's "State of the Union," the Donald Trump advocate was pressed by the CNN host to say if he will agree with the election results if the former president loses and whether he would urge Trump to follow suit.

Republican strategist Karl Rove threw cold water on claims from Donald Trump's campaign that he could win Virginia and New Mexico in Tuesday's presidential contest.

Rove made the remarks on Sunday after an Iowa poll showed Vice President Kamala Harris taking a surprising lead in Iowa.

Early Sunday morning, Donald Trump jumped on his Truth Social platform and fired back at a poll coming out of Iowa showing him now losing to Vice President Kamala Harris which shocked political observers late Saturday.

With just two days to go before voters head to the polls, the Des Moines Register released a poll from highly-regarded pollster J. Ann Selzer that showed Harris with a 3-point lead in the solidly conservative state.

Fox News correspondent Aishah Hasnie said the Trump campaign was scrambling after a new "shock poll" showed Donald Trump losing in the red state of Iowa.

"Now, all of this comes as a new Des Moines Register poll came out last night, a shock poll showing Harris beating Trump by three points in Iowa, normally a red state," Hasnie reported Sunday. "That sent shockwaves across the political spectrum."

With just two days before voters head to the polls where they will choose between Vice President Kamala Harris and former president Donald Trump to lead the country for the next four years, a U.K. polling company noted for its high accuracy has some bad news for the former president.

According to a report from Politico, Harris will win according to Focaldata, which has deployed a proprietary method of compilation and analysis called "MRP" which has been highly successful in predicting British elections.

Kamala Harris has “leaped” into the lead in a red state the Democrats had all but written off, analysis showed Saturday.

The widely respected Des Moines Register/Mediacom Iowa Poll now shows Harris leading her opponent Donald Trump 47% to 44%.

Donald Trump’s final few days before the election are leaving Republicans “frustrated,” Barack Obama’s former senior adviser said Saturday.

David Axelrod said on CNN that the former president is proving incapable of staying on message as he nears the vote, and it’s leaving his supporters worried.

A judge has ordered the Erie County Board of Elections to extend its operating hours and take other steps to ensure that thousands of voters who requested mail ballots but did not receive them can still get mail ballots and return them by the Election Day deadline.

The judge’s order comes after the Democratic Party of Pennsylvania sued the county in an attempt to get officials to remedy the problems.

In her campaign stump speeches, Vice President Kamala Harris has contrasted herself with former President Donald Trump by saying she's going to enter the White House with a "to-do list," while her opponent would begin his administration with an "enemies list." One far-right activist adjacent to Trump's inner circle recently created such a list.

The Atlantic reported that Ivan Raiklin, who is a retired Army Green Beret and self-described "constitutional lawyer," recently sat down with insurrectionist cattle rancher Cliven Bundy (famous for instigating an armed standoff with federal authorities in 2014). He called himself Trump's "secretary of retribution," and said he had come up with a "deep-state target list" of roughly 300 people for the former president to persecute first should he be elected to a second term next week.

Podcaster and tech journalist Kara Swisher lost patience with a conservative Reihan Salam on CNN on Saturday morning and accused him of not caring that Donald Trump is obviously "addled."

During their weekly face-off on "The Chris Wallace Show," Salam tried to dismiss the firestorm created by a conservative speaker at a Trump rally, calling Puerto Rico "garbage," and tried to make the case that President Joe Biden's response to it was worse.

According to Salam, too much is being made about the Madison Square Garden "joke" and it should not reflect on Trump's re-election campaign as well as comments the ex-president has made recently.

That drew a swift rebuke and accusation from Swisher who repeatedly said "Stop it" as Salam spoke.

Making his case he told the panel, "I think basically you have a lot of voters who believe that there is a certain censoriousness coming from the left and the idea that we are elevating a warm-up act who tells rancid jokes and have been doing it for years."

"I think that might have been a bad call," he continued as Swisher protested. "The president of the United States [Biden] was actually, for four years, been denouncing his political opponents and talking about ultra MAGA and fascism when referring to people who oppose his agenda. This is absolutely routine background noise and this garbage remark is something that actually does remind people of it."

"Trump makes, literally, every hour Trump makes an offensive remark," Swisher pushed back. "Every hour Trump makes another offensive remark, one more offensive than the other."

"Because, one, he's addled. You don't mind him being addled," she accused.

With the 2024 presidential election just three days away, former Republican National Committee chair Michael Steele told Democrats that they "should feel good about Tuesday" –– and then took a jab at Donald Trump's rabid followers.

From his perch as a co-host on MSNBC's "The Weekend," Steele claimed Donald Trump's campaign botched his re-election chances by outsourcing get-out-the-votes efforts which is key to winning elections.

For multiple weeks, almost every major pollster has had Vice President Kamala Harris neck-and-neck with former President Donald Trump in polls of both battleground states and the nation at large. But some experts aren't so sure the election will be as close as expected.

The Guardian reported that in the final round of polling done just before Tuesday's election, the race remains within the margin of error in all seven swing states most likely to decide which candidate wins a majority of electoral votes. According to FiveThirtyEight's aggregated polling data, both Harris and Trump are within one or two points of each other in states like Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. But two polling experts are theorizing that this is less reflective of the actual race than it is of pollsters being overly cautious to not be dead-wrong when official results are tallied.
