Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump hit the campaign trail for the final time today in battleground states. Harris held five engagements in Pennsylvania, culminating in a day in Philadelphia. Stars such as Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, and Ricky Martin were present, all performing to support the vice president. On the other hand, Trump toured three states, including North Carolina and Pennsylvania, before concluding with a rally in Michigan. He had guest speakers including Megyn Kelly and Roberto Clemente Jr. Their focus on encouraging their supporters to vote on Tuesday reflected an election that, according to polls, was so close that neither side predicted victory.

Donald Trump says Jill Stein may be one of his ‘favorite politicians’
Former President Donald Trump has revealed that Green Party presidential nominee Jill Stein may be one of his "favorite politicians."
Trump, the Republican nominee, lavished unlikely praise on Stein, who is far to the left of him politically, during one of his final campaign rallies of the year in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on Monday.
The former president mentioned his supposed fondness for Stein while implausibly claiming that 107,000 supporters attended a recent Trump rally in California and that an unspecified poll shows him with a large lead among Hispanic voters.
Trump then claimed, perhaps jokingly, that Stein's Green Party was also favored by Hispanics over Democratic nominee and Vice President Kamala Harris, who he referred to as "this woman."

Nevada analyst says Kamala Harris wins swing state in final prediction
Nevada political analyst and columnist Jon Ralston predicts that Vice President Kamala Harris will narrowly win the swing state on Tuesday thanks to independent voters.
In a blog post on Monday, Ralston, the editor of The Nevada Independent who is renowned for his forecast predictions, said that he expects Harris to beat former President Donald Trump 48.5 percent to 48.2 percent, with 3.3 percent of the overall vote going to other candidates.
Ralston wrote in his prediction that the "key to this election has always been which way the non-major-party voters break because they have become the plurality in the state."
"They are going to make up 30 percent or so of the electorate and if they swing enough towards Harris, she will win Nevada," Ralston wrote, adding, "I think they will."
Ralston acknowledged in his prediction that Republican voters have turned out in unprecedented numbers during early voting in Nevada. Per the Nevada Secretary of State's office, over 37,000 more Republicans showed up to the state's second week of early voting than Democrats, which ran between October 26 and November 1.
But as Ralston wrote, there are "a lot of nonpartisans who are closet Democrats who were purposely registered by Democrat-aligned groups as nonpartisans."
"The machine knows who they are and will get them to vote," he added. "It will be just enough to overcome the Republican lead – along with women motivated by abortion and crossover votes that issue also will cause."

Kamala Harris using ‘Jiu-Jitsu’ against Trump in final stretch: Axelrod
...
Vice President Kamala Harris is using "jiu-jitsu" against former President Donald Trump during the final stretch of her presidential campaign, according to veteran Democratic strategist David Axelrod.
Axelrod, the chief strategist for both of former President Barack Obama's successful presidential campaigns, said during a CNN appearance on Monday night that Harris was capitalizing on Trump doing a "terrible" job of closing out his bid to return to the White House.
"Donald Trump has had a terrible close to this campaign," Axelrod said. "Every single day he seems to take his campaign into straits that they don't want to be in. He's not delivering the message that the campaign is delivering on television in its ads that they think is their most effective message."
"[Harris has] been very disciplined down the stretch," he continued. "She's delivered a very consistent message. And it's consistent with what she's had on TV... She's basically capitalizing on his negative energy, using jiu-jitsu against him. And I think it's been very effective."

JD Vance ripped for calling Kamala Harris ‘trash’ at Atlanta rally
Ohio Senator JD Vance escalated political tensions Monday by referring to Vice President Kamala Harris as "trash" during an Atlanta rally, as controversy continues to swirl around President Joe Biden's recent "garbage" comments about Donald Trump's supporters.
The inflammatory remarks came as Republicans rejected White House explanations of Biden's comments during a recent Voto Latino advocacy group video call, where he responded to comedian Tony Hinchcliffe's characterization of Puerto Rico as "a floating island of garbage" during a Trump rally at Madison Square Garden.
While speaking at the Cobb Galleria Centre outside of Atlanta, the Republican vice-presidential nominee responded to Biden by targeting Harris.
"Our message to Kamala Harris is very simple," Vance told the cheering crowd. "The citizens of this country are not garbage for thinking you're doing a bad job. The citizens of this country are not racist for thinking you ought to close down that damn southern border. The citizens of this country are not garbage for wanting to be able to afford groceries and a nice place to live. But in two days, we are gonna take out the trash in Washington, D.C. And the trash's name is Kamala Harris."
Newsweek contacted Trump and Harris' campaigns via email on Monday for comment.
Bernice King, daughter of Martin Luther King Jr., urged voters to "turn the page" in the upcoming election on X, formerly Twitter. Critical Race Theorist Tim Wise pointed to what he called a double standard in political discourse, while Political Affairs analyst David Rothkopf described the comments as "beyond the beyond, so offensive."
Culture and politics commentator Reecie Colbert delivered a sharp rebuke, saying "Trash is what JD Vance sees when he looks in the mirror, not when he looks at Madam Vice President Kamala Harris." Former NBCUniversal Senior Executive Mike Sington characterized the rally moment as "disgusting" and "jaw-dropping."
Conservative voices, however, rallied behind Vance. Commentator Graham Allen shared the viral clip, declaring "JD VANCE IS READY TO TAKE OUT THE GARBAGE."

Young men could swing Pennsylvania as gender, age gaps show familiar trends
...
In the high-stakes state of Pennsylvania, the gender and age gap in polling reveals trends that resemble the 2020 election.
Four years ago, President Joe Biden won Pennsylvania by less than two percentage points. However, voters under 30 voted for the Democrat over former President Donald Trump by 27 points.
According to a CBS News poll conducted from Oct. 22-28, Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris leads Trump, her Republican challenger, 65-33, among Pennsylvania voters under 30. Meanwhile, Trump holds a 56-42 lead among all male voters in the Keystone State.
An average of three recent New York Times/Siena College polls, conducted from September to October, shows Trump leading Harris among young men, nationally, by 21 points (58 percent to 37 percent).
Meanwhile, Harris holds a 39-point advantage among young women (67 percent to 28 percent) but has struggled to cut into the former president's margin with young men.
On the eve of Election Day, Newsweek spoke to four young men in Lehigh County in the crucial swing state of Pennsylvania.

Trump suspect Ryan Routh predicts civil war if Donald wins
Ryan Routh, the man accused of attempting to assassinate Donald Trump at a golf course in Florida in September, recently warned that the former president "will not let go of power" if he is given a second term in the White House.
According to a report from The Palm Beach Post over the weekend, Routh sent an "unsolicited letter" to the newsroom a few weeks after prosecutors had warned that he may try to contact the media.
The letter was reportedly addressed from "Trump Alleged Shooter Ryan W. Routh," and the suspect's daughter confirmed the authenticity of the letter, the newspaper's report read.
Newsweek was unable to independently confirm the authenticity of the letter. An email was sent to Routh's attorneys for comment on Monday.
Routh is facing three firearm charges, an attempted assassination charge and an assaulting a federal officer charge after a U.S. Secret Service agent reportedly spotted him pointing the barrel of a rifle through a bush line near the Trump International Golf Club while the former president was on the green on September 15.
The suspect has pleaded not guilty to all charges against him. He could face a maximum sentence of life in prison if convicted.
In the letter sent to the Post, the newspaper said was handwritten, Routh did not discuss his purported assassination attempt against Trump but instead warned that another Trump administration could be "the end of democracy and the beginnings of a civil war," read the report on the matter. Routh also claimed that the former president "will not let go of power if we all give it to him."
"Will Palm Beach County hand the keys to our nation to the Trumps for the next century or more?" read the letter. "How does Palm Beach view its neighbor?"
"Palm Beach should be leading the way and guiding our country hopefully to choose democracy over a dictator," Routh added in part. "I hope that you will respect your leadership role and push your state and country to maintain our American way of life for our children. Please help."

Rihanna makes a bold declaration about the presidential election
Rihanna is all in for voting, even if she has to cheer from the sidelines.
On Monday, November 4, the 36-year-old Barbadian superstar posted a cheeky Instagram Reel from her car, making light of her voting dilemma.
"POV: me trying to sneak into the polls with my son's passport #VoteCauseICant," she wrote over a clip of herself gazing out the window.
Born in Barbados, Rihanna — whose real name is Robyn Rihanna Fenty — never changed her citizenship when she moved to the United States in 2005. So, while her two sons, RZA, 2, and Riot, 14 months, whom she shares with boyfriend A$AP Rocky (born Rakim Athelaston Mayers), are U.S. citizens, she isn't eligible to vote.
"When protecting p****** and firing p****** can happen all in one vote," the Fenty Beauty founder captioned her post with hashtags #VoteCauseICant and #TanSuitSeason, seemingly referring to Vice President Kamala Harris's current presidential campaign and the famous tan suits worn by President Joe Biden and former President Barack Obama.

Are California power shutoffs going to impact election?
Roughly 15,000 Californians could be without power beginning Tuesday evening as Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) begins shutting off power to combat wildfire threats. The upcoming power outages are unlikely to impact election results in the affected areas.
PG&E announced the upcoming Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS) on Sunday night amid learning that weather would create critical fire conditions with low relative humidity, diminished moisture of vegetation and gusting wind conditions in parts of the Bay Area this week. PSPS occur when strong winds threaten to cause tree damage to equipment, which could spark a fire under the right conditions. For the current PSPS, 17 counties and three tribal areas will be affected.
Power shutoffs will begin at 7 p.m. local time on Tuesday at the earliest. Two polling places—the Calpine Geothermal Visitor Center in Lake County and Lakeside Elementary School in Los Gatos—are within the scope of the shutoffs.
PG&E spokesperson Jeff Smith told Newsweek that voting won't be impacted, given that shutoffs aren't expected at the polling locations until after polls close at 8 p.m. Smith said that no tabulation centers are within the blackout areas, so vote counts also won't be impacted or delayed. However, all 48 tabulation centers and the two polling locations are stocked with a backup generator.
"We are staging temporary generation at both locations out of an abundance of caution," a press release about the event said.
Smith added that if any other polling locations are added to the PSPS scope due to a change in the forecast, officials would assess the situation and provide backup power if needed.

Harris sees swing vote boost over Trump on election eve
Vice President Kamala Harris holds an 8-point lead over former President Donald Trump among swing voters, according to Impact Social, a firm specializing in social media sentiment analysis.
Analyzing 40,000 online discussions, the report shows Harris's lead reflects a slight preference among independents, driven more by concerns over Trump's style than strong support for Harris.
"On the plus side for Harris, we have consistently observed a small but notable amount of discussion among right-leaning swing voters suggesting they are leaning towards her, while similar conversations in favor of Trump have been scarce," the report states.
Covering sentiment from October 31 to November 4, 2024, the report notes Harris's net sentiment score at -9—a marked improvement from earlier in the race. If this trend holds, Impact Social predicts Harris could become the next president.

"This comes after his noticeably thin audience in North Carolina this morning."

Mary Trump predicts what Donald Trump will do on election night
...
Mary Trump, former President Donald Trump's estranged niece and longtime critic, predicted on Sunday that her uncle will attempt to prematurely declare victory and potentially incite political unrest if the 2024 presidential election outcome doesn't favor him.
"In advance of the results, especially if Donald sees the numbers trending against him, he'll likely go on television and declare victory just as he did in 2020," she wrote in a Substack blog post, adding that he will "almost certainly have the support of almost 100 percent of elected Republicans."
Newsweek has contacted Trump's campaign via email on Monday for comment.
Her warning comes at a pivotal moment, as some state polls show unexpected shifts on the eve of Election Day. Writing about two states, she specifically highlighted Iowa, where the respected Selzer & Co. poll that was published by The Des Moines Register delivered what she called "good news" over the weekend—Vice President Kamala Harris leading Trump by three points (47 to 44 percent).
It would be the first time the red state had voted blue since former President Barack Obama. When Joe Biden was still in the 2024 race, Trump had an 18-point lead in Iowa but Harris has rapidly narrowed that gap. Other polls generally favor Harris over Trump in the state, but by very narrow margins.
Mary Trump also pointed to the battleground state of North Carolina as being "officially a toss-up," noting that "Democrats have only won North Carolina once since 1980."
The former president quickly dismissed the Selzer poll on his Truth Social platform writing on Sunday morning, "No President has done more for FARMERS, and the Great State of Iowa, than Donald J. Trump. In fact, it's not even close! All polls, except for one heavily skewed toward the Democrats by a Trump hater who called it totally wrong the last time, have me up, BY A LOT."
Selzer defended her methodology in a previous email to Newsweek: "These are the kinds of comments seen for virtually any poll, including mine. The Des Moines Register includes a methodology statement with each story they publish. It's the same methodology used to show Trump winning Iowa in the final polls in 2016 and 2020. It would not be in my best interest, or that of my clients—The Des Moines Register and Mediacom—to conjure fake numbers."
Trump senior adviser Jason Miller dismissed it as "one idiotic survey," while conservative commentator Charlie Kirk called it "fake" on X, formerly Twitter, claiming it was "a media-designed tactic to suppress turnout."
A subsequent poll by right-leaning On Point and Red Eagle Politics still gives Trump a seven-point advantage in Iowa, though notably lower than his 2020 margin when he won the state with 53.1 percent to Biden's 44.9 percent.
"These are not power moves," Mary Trump wrote about her uncle's response, pointing to his multiple campaign stops in North Carolina despite winning the state in 2016 and 2020. His attacks on pollster Ann Selzer, whom he labeled one of his "enemies," demonstrate what she describes as signs of "weakness and insecurity."

RNC sues Milwaukee over limiting poll watchers
Republicans are suing the Milwaukee Election Commission over reported plans to limit poll monitoring in certain city precincts on election day.
The Republican National Committee (RNC) filed a lawsuit Monday challenging the commission's decision to "arbitrarily" restrict access to two observers at a few polling places.
Lawyers for the RNC wrote in the complaint, "The Executive Director's response was, 'I am not able to provide a specific list of locations where we might need to limit observers to one person per party; however, it may occur anywhere the space, access, number of voters, and other prevailing circumstances would require it as a reasonable limitation.'"

Former President Donald Trump unleashed a series of misleading campaign promotions littered with falsehoods and disinformation as part of the final effort to pump up his bid for the presidency.

The posts mark the start of Trump's penultimate day of campaigning, with a rally scheduled in Raleigh, North Carolina, followed by events in Reading and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. His day will conclude with a late-night rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Ted Cruz says Kamala Harris wants to ‘invade’ U.S. with illegal immigrants
Kamala Harris would double the number of undocumented immigrants entering the U.S. if elected, according to Texas Senator Ted Cruz.
Immigration has remained a critical issue throughout the 2024 presidential election, ranking behind only the economy in a recent poll of voters' top priorities conducted for Newsweek. While Harris has attempted to adopt a more hardline stance on the issue, blaming Trump for "killing" the bipartisan bill that she believes would have secured the southern border, voters appear to be backing Trump's proposals and track record on immigration.
"If Kamala wins, god help us, the numbers will skyrocket," Ted Cruz said, during the most recent episode of his Verdict podcast. "We have seen 11.5 million people in the last four years. If Kamala is president for another four years, 11.5 will become 25 or 30 million. That is their objective: to invade this country with what they see as future Democrat voters."
Newsweek reached out to the Harris campaign for comment.

Harris: “It makes people feel alone”
Harris offered a moment of optimism to her fans and drew a parallel between her and Trump's campaigns on the first stop of her Pennsylvania trip today, saying that pointing fingers is counterproductive and that she has "a people-driven campaign."
"It makes people feel alone. It makes us feel like there's nobody standing," she said. "And so the way I've always been thinking about our campaign and these next 24 hours is as we are getting out the vote, as we are canvassing, let's be intentional about building community, about building coalitions, about reminding people we all have so much more in common than what separates us."

Pennsylvania elections judge says he’s changed opinion on voter fraud
...
Pennsylvania's Jay Schneider said he started volunteering as a poll worker in 2022 due to his own skepticism about how votes were counted.
During the last presidential election between Democrat Joe Biden and then-President Donald Trump, a spike in mail-in ballots due to the Covid-19 pandemic led to some of his concerns.
Schneider, who now serves as judge of elections for Chester County, Pennsylvania, recalled his feelings from four years ago to Newsweek in an interview Monday at the Caln Township building.
"I just find it hard to believe that what the 3,400 counties in the country that all of them are prepared for this giant influx mail-in ballots," said Schneider, a registered Republican, who told Newsweek that he votes for 'people over party.' "I think there could have been some shenanigans."

OPINION: Every American will be better off under Trump
...
The big winners in the 2024 presidential election, besides the American people, will be former President Donald J. Trump and President Joe Biden.
Why?
The election will have demonstrated that President Trump's policies were working and were consistent with the desires of the American people. The election will also have made clear that President Biden, with all his ineptitude and cognitive challenges, was still a better candidate than the maven of mediocrity, Vice President Kamala Harris.
On every issue that truly matters to all Americans, the 80 percent issues, President Trump's approach was vindicated:
Border security, check.
Economic trust, check.
Personal safety, check.
World stability, check.
And concerning the war on American values and culture, things like preventing men from participating in women's sports, and not using taxpayer funds to pay for the sex reassignment surgery of illegal aliens and criminals, Donald Trump's policies were more widely accepted.

OPINION: Undecided Pennsylvania voters share what they really think about Harris and Trump
A common misconception about "undecided voters" is that they predominantly consist of people waiting to make a last-minute, impulsive decision between the two major party candidates, in this year's election former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris.
Some such voters do exist—despite what you might gather from internet comment sections. Yet the modal "undecided" voter, at least based on my recent conversations across Pennsylvania, is more likely to be someone deciding voting and not voting at all.
"My thing is, if I vote, does it change anything?" said Sergio Martinez, an Amazon warehouse worker in Bethlehem, PA. "Does it make a difference? 'Cause they gonna do what they want to do no matter what." If prodded, Martinez comes across as an eminently persuadable voter for Trump; he said Harris "seems like she's always lying," and reported positive recollections of the economy during Trump's first term. But even with a negative attitude toward Harris and a somewhat favorable attitude toward Trump, he was doubtful that voting was worth his time.

"The most conservative principle for conservatives, for anybody, is being faithful to the Constitution. In this race, Donald Trump is certainly not a conservative.
"He is advocating policies like this massive tariff structure that he's proposing, which will raise taxes for everyone, drive up inflation, and increase the debt. He is not conservative."

Why it could be weeks before Arizona announces election result
Officials in a pivotal swing county in the battleground of Arizona have warned that the count could take up to two weeks after it became a focus of voter fraud misinformation since 2020.
Maricopa County, Arizona, which includes Phoenix, could take up to 10 to 13 days to process all its ballots, election officials said.
The cautious count comes after Donald Trump falsely accused the county of election interference after he lost it to Joe Biden in 2020.
Republican Stephen Richer, Maricopa County recorder, has said previously that no widespread fraud was found in the county's 2020 election which he has called the "most scrutinized election in human history."
Maricopa has introduced new security and transparency measures over the past four years, including placing cameras in key parts of the election center and tours for members of the public curious about what goes on behind closed doors.

Fox analyst calls election a ‘referendum’ on Roe vs Wade, warns gender divide could hand Harris the election
A Fox News analyst has called the 2024 election a 'referendum' on Roe vs Wade as he pointed to the deep gender divide on the presidential candidates.
As the first presidential election since Roe was overturned in 2022, "it's a referendum", Anthony Russo, a Fox News political analyst and host of 'The Truth Will Set You Free' podcast, said on Fox today.
"The vote is split by gender," he said, claiming that many women for voting for Harris on the issue of abortion, while men were voting for Trump on the economy.
Russo said that Donald Trump has done "a decent job of distancing himself from the idea he wants to ban abortions federally." But he added that the Harris campaign has done a "fantastic" job of "fearmongering" about the loss of reproductive freedom.
The gender divide is also likely to have more significance in 2024 as the race remains so tight between Harris and Trump that even a few percentage points could secure the White House tomorrow.
"The female vote could have a huge impact on the election, even if it's by a few percentage points," he said, adding that women are statistically more likely to vote, tipping it in Harris' favor.
