She said if #Trump wins the White House again, he will view #disasters through a political lens that values personal loyalty over damage considerations.

“It’s not going to be about that #American voter out there ... their house is gone, and... [Trump] is judging them for how they voted""

Donald #Trump’s campaign aired an ad with a deceptively truncated quote from The New York Times that says Kamala #Harris "is seeking to significantly raise taxes." The full sentence said: “Harris is seeking to significantly raise taxes on the wealthiest Americans and large corporations.”

👍🏻Via Kyle Griffin:

#Harris campaign just announced the launch of #Wisconsin Republicans for Harris ahead of her visit to the state with Liz Cheney.

The group is led by more than 20 Republicans from across the state. In an open letter, the group writes: "Donald #Trump does not align with Wisconsin values. To ensure our democracy and our economy remain strong for another four years, we must elect Kamala Harris and Tim #Walz to the White House."

A new #CookPoliticalReport #SwingState Project Survey conducted by BSG & GS Strategy Group (Sept 19-25; 2,941 voters), shows VP #KamalaHarris leading or tied w/ #Trump in ALL but 1 of the 7 battleground states. Overall, she holds a lead of 49% to 48%.

#Harris has a lead w/in the margin of error in #Arizona +2, #Michigan +3, #Nevada +1, #Pennsylvania +1, & #Wisconsin +2. Trump is ahead 49% to 47% in #Georgia, & the candidates are tied at 49% in #NorthCarolina.

For the 1st time ever, a plurality of swing state voters now think that a #Democrat will win the presidential #election. This month, 46% of voters think #Harris will win, compared to 39% who think it will be #Trump. That is an 11-point swing in Harris’ favor since Aug, & suggests that Harris has been successful in presenting herself as a serious candidate.

There’s a saying I like to describe certain bad writing in movies: This character is how stupid people think smart people are.

Well, I’ve long thought that #TimWalz is how out of touch upper class coastal figures think middle class midwesterners are.

And I’d say the debate last night really put that on display.

Midwesterners: this low power fool is what #Democrats think you are. And you should be offended.

#JDVance was no surprise. He’s been a slick talker his whole political career. It’s his whole thing, and it has nothing to do with policy. His performance was pretty meaningless.

But #Walz really helped show that #Harris has poor judgment.

From late summer’s VP pageant of Democratic middle-aged American white men, #TimWalz emerged as an avatar of football-coaching, social-studies-teaching, father-figure affability, & this appeal helped carry him past arguably more strategic choices to a spot on the #Harris ticket. His affect, along w/his record as #Minnesota governor, made progressive policies look like a matter of folksy #CommonSense.

Thanks to President #Biden and VP #Harris border crossings are down for the third straight month.

New: In September, US Border Patrol recorded around 54,000 encounters along the US southern border, according to new federal data shared with CNN— marking the third month of decline since Biden's executive action went into effect. https://cnn.com/2024/09/30/politics/migrant-crossing-numbers-drop/index.html

The #NewYorkTimes editorial board has #endorsed #KamalaHarris for president. In an editorial published Monday, the editorial board called #Trump #unfit for office & declared the VP the “only patriotic choice for president.” While the editorial board was harshly critical of Trump, it also suggested #Harris should offer more policy details [🙄] in her campaign & take part in more media interviews [🙄🙄].

#KamalaHarris also appeared to take a swipe at #Trump & his running mate #JDVance who've floated #Ukraine ceding territory to #Russia as part of negotiations to end the #war.

"However, in candor, I share with you Mr. President, there are some in my country who would, instead, force Ukraine to give up large parts of its #sovereign territory, who would demand that Ukraine accept neutrality & would require Ukraine to forego #security relationships w/other nations," #Harris said.

"We also know that other would-be aggressors around the world are watching to see what happens in #Ukraine," #Harris said. "If #Putin is allowed to win, they will become emboldened, & history reminds us, & history is so clear in reminding us, the #UnitedStates cannot & should not isolate ourselves from the rest of the world.
