Presidential election odds dwell: Three swing states shift in newest Trump-Harris polling forecast

Donald Trump and Kamala Harris are locked in one of the closest presidential races in history.

After months of frantically fanning the swing states to pick up as many undecided voters as possible, it all comes down to Tuesday night.

The unprecedented campaign has seen a candidate drop out, two assassination attempts and fluctuating polls that show the race is essentially a coin-flip.

Polling aggregators on Monday had the gap between Trump and Harris at as little as 0.1%.

More than 75million Americans cast their ballots early in an election that could be decided by just a few thousand votes.

Sen. J.D. Vance, Donald Trump’s running mate, believes America will know the result of the 2024 election on Tuesday night as momentum shifts toward the Republican ticket

‘My strong guess is that we’re in a good spot, that we’re going to win,’ he told DailyMail.com aboard his jet as flew between campaign stops.

‘I think that we’ll know by Tuesday night. Maybe I’m wrong about that, but you never really know until you know.’

With the race between Trump and Harris still razor-thin, pollsters have indicated that a final result could take days – or even weeks – to tally.

If any of the seven battlegrounds are close, counting mail-in ballots could drag on well into November 6 and beyond. In 2020, the race was officially called for Joe Biden four days later.

And although Trump is only up over Harris by 0.1 percent nationally according to polling averages, he has captured a strong 12-point lead in the betting markets, giving him momentum going into Election Day.

Vance is on a four-state swing as he tries to close out the 2024 race by persuading voters to get out on Election Day.

The race has narrowed further, according to our friends at J.L. Partners, whose election model shows Trump losing his advantage.

Their latest numbers show that Trump wins in 60.4 percent of simulations. That is his lowest number for a month and means he has dropped eight points in the past week as momentum shifts to Harris.

That moves the overall result from LEAN TRUMP (albeit it by the smallest of margins) into TOSSUP Trump territory.

Swing state probablities have all changed since yesterday, with particularly notable impacts in Michigan, Wisconsin and Arizona.

In Arizona, Trump’s win probability has increased by 6.5 points. It has moved from LIKELY TRUMP to STRONG TRUMP.

Michigan saw Harris’ win probability increase by 12.8 points. It is now a LEAN HARRIS state having become TOSSUP HARRIS yesterday.

Wisconsin has seen a 16.1 point movement against Trump. The state has shifted from TOSSUP TRUMP to LEAN HARRIS.

In his briefing note, data scientist Callum Hunter writes:

The final day of the campaign has seen big movements at the state level in our model. With Michigan and Wisconsin veering strongly towards Harris due to new polls and correlation effects within the model.

With these states now considered Harris states, the race has shifted such that Pennsylvania is the deciding state for both campaigns – in 56 percent of simulations Pennsylvania is the deciding state.

Whilst October saw Trump’s rise give him multiple routes to the White House, the latest rounds of polling have closed many of those off.

Both campaigns are now fighting for Pennsylvania – literally tens of thousands of voters might decide this election and it may come down to the thinnest of margins.

As the fog of campaigning lifts on the battleground states the final face-off is set to take place in the Keystone state itself. Brace yourselves. We are in for a very bumpy ride.

Sarah Ewall-Wice, Senior U.S. Political Reporter in Pittsburgh, PA:

Vice President Kamala Harris is making her second to last stop on the day before Election Day in Pittsburgh, PA, the state’s second-largest city and largest on the western part of the state.

Biden won Allegheny County with nearly 60 percent of support in 2020, but Harris needs to run up turnout here in order to win the state. Her Get Out the Vote rally will feature performances from Katy Perry and Andra Day.

Perry endorsed Harris earlier in the day calling her ‘KatyCat!’

Crowds have been gathering throughout the afternoon at the location even though Harris won’t be speaking for several more hours.

The rally is taking place in the shadow of the Carries Blast Furnaces National Historic Landmark. It is the remnant of the once massive U.S. Steel Homestead Steel Works along the Monongahela River and pays homage to the city’s past dominance in the steel industry.

Signs running along the road leading up to the venue read ‘steel workers for Harris’ as multiple attendees wore union shirts. Harris is looking to shore up union support in the state.

Other supporters ranging from young children to seniors were decked out in Harris t-shirt and hats or black and yellow Steelers gear. This is Yinzer country.
While there was a lot of Harris-Walz signs, multiple people have also been waving the yellow ‘terrible towels’ seen at Steelers games before the vice president is set to speak.

A DJ has been blasting toons all afternoon from Beyonce’s Girls to the YMCA and Wiz Khalifa’s Black and Yellow, the city’s unofficial anthem.

The stage is lined with blue signs that read ‘Vote for Freedom’ while massive American flags were lit up behind the crowds of supporters.

A longtime aide to former President Ronald Reagan has named three factors he believes will sink Kamala Harris and cause her to lose to Donald Trump.

Kenneth L. Khachigian, who got his start in presidential politics when he was drafted into the 1968 Nixon presidential campaign, said the base Harris is aiming to win over will abandon her in droves.

He also thinks she is ‘propped up’ by popular Democrats and the media, while also saying she isn’t different enough from President Joe Biden to convince voters to stick with the party in power.

Podcaster Joe Rogan published a new interview with Elon Musk on Monday, just before the U.S. election.

The interview kicked off with a dicsussion about video games and eating steak, but it soon turned to politics and censorship

‘Thank you so much for buying Twitter,’ he said. ‘I’m not exaggerating when I say you changed the course of history.’

Co-Chair of the RNC Michael Whatley is cheering a decision on election eve that will limit the number of absentee ballots that can be counted if they arrive after Election Day.

Since more Democrats generally vote by mail, it’s a win for Republicans in the crucial swing state of Georgia.

The ballots in Cobb County, Georgia, can only be counted if they arrive by 7 p.m. tomorrow.

TikTok star Kareem Rahma of ‘Subway Takes’ revealed that interview with Kamala Harris went so poorly that he ultimately decided against posting the video.

The incident opens up the strict negotiations that Harris and her team place on interviews with influencers.

That’s three out of four events done for JD Vance. And his wife Usha has her role down to a fine art.

They come on stage together holding hands before a hug and a big smacker on the lips. There’s no messing around. It looks like a full on snog.

Then Usha exits the stage as quickly as she can, staying out of the spotlight and watching her husbands speech from somewhere unobtrusive.

She has given only a couple of interviews and has avoided taking on some of the other roles of the political spouse. But she has the walk-on, snog, and walk-off move mastered.

The daughter of NFL Hall of Famer Jim Brown spoke at Donald Trump’s rally in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on Monday.

The day before the 2024 presidential election, Kimberly Brown went to Steelers Nation to speak in support of the former president getting a second term.

‘Now normally we’re rivals right? But today we’re allies. We’re Patriots, we’re Americans,’ Brown said while wearing a Browns jersey with her father’s name and number. ‘And just as my father, Cleveland Browns No. 32, supported Donald Trump, so do I.’

‘Because Donald Trump is going to keep men out of women’s sports,’ Brown said. ‘I play women’s tackle football.’

[My dad’s] offense, I’m defense. Can you image us going head-to-head? No. I’d be taken out on a stretcher,’ she said.

Over the last six months I have traveled the swing states.

Two debates, two hurricanes, and countless interviews later, we have arrived at Election Day.

Because American political opinion is so diverse – and so polarized – there is no one type of swing voter who will determine the outcome.

Instead, the result hinges on several groups who, depending on how they move, will put Kamala Harris or Donald Trump in the White House.

This is the cast that will decide the election:

Donald Trump told supporters at his Raleigh rally on Monday that he ‘doesn’t sleep’ and hasn’t taken a day off for ’62 days’ in a final attempt to prove his dedication to the country before election day.

Trump and Kamala have both shown signs of weariness in recent weeks as the grueling final days of the campaign take their toll.

At his rally on Monday in North Carolina, he wore it like a badge of honor.

Americans are braced for civil unrest amid scary predictions of ‘blood’ during Tuesday’s knife-edge presidential election, reviving painful memories of recent assassination bids and chaos after the 2020 vote.

Businesses in Washington DC were on Monday boarding up their windows as security fencing went up around the White House, US Vice President Harris’ residence, and other key buildings in the capital.

Fights have broken out at polling stations and election workers have prepared for gun attacks, amid a flurry of threats to blow up political offices and other sensitive sites ahead of election day.

A Pennsylvania judge ruled Monday that Elon Musk’s controversial $1 million giveaway to voters in the state can go on.

Judge Angelo Foglietta made the decision after Musk has already given out over $16 million to voters in the swing state.

Vance takes the stage for his third rally of the day and the now familiar sound of banjos and Merle Haggard singing ‘America First. It echoes around a hangar-like space in the bowels of Atlanta’s Cobb Galleria Center.

On the final day of campaigning there is no time for his signature move, inviting questions from journalists and turning every event into a press conference.

More to the point, election eve is not the time for an unexpected question and a gaffe that could overshadow Election Day.

Just ask Democrats who have banished Joe Biden from the election trail.

‘Fundamentally, my job has been to define Kamala Harris, to try to identify the ways in which her policies have been bad for people, and to hammer that message as much as possible to as many people who will listen,’ he told me earlier.

‘And that’s why we do so many media interviews, and that’s why we do so many events, and that’s why we do so many press conferences.’

Maxim, the international men’s magazine based in New York City, has thrown its support behind Donald Trump as the election campaign draws to a close.

The publication declared it is the ‘only major magazine’ to endorse Trump in a social media post which included a picture of the former president on stage with Elon Musk.

In an editorial published this weekend, Maxim said Trump achieved the ‘most unlikely success story in generations’ after ascending to the presidency with ‘zero political experience’.

It read: ‘There’s a reason millions of people want to live vicariously through him. He’s bold enough to say what’s on his mind, rich enough to do whatever he wants and influential enough to get stuff done.’

Donald Trump said on his final day of campaigning that he will dial up Mexico’s new president on his first day in office to inform her he will slap a 25 percent tariff on imports from her country.

Trump referenced new Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo who ‘I suppose is a very, very nice woman, they say.’

‘I haven’t met her, and I’m going to inform her on Day One or sooner, that if they don’t stop this onslaught of criminals and drugs coming into our country, I’m going to immediately impose a 25 percent tariff on everything they send into the United States of America,’ he said he would threaten.

Iowa pollster J. Ann Selzer reacted Sunday to Donald Trump labeling her an ‘enemy’ for producing a poll that suggested Kamala Harris had taken a lead in the solidly red state.

Trump reacted with rage at his rally Sunday in Lititz, Pennsylvania over the Des Moines Register/Mediacom survey conducted by Selzer & Company that showed Harris at 47 percent support to Trump’s 44 percent.

Iowa has gone red for Trump the last two election cycles after twice voting for Democratic President Barack Obama – and hasn’t been considered a battleground state this cycle.

‘There is no upsides,’ Selzer told CNN’s Anderson Cooper, explaining, ‘I can’t see that there’s any advantage to me or my career in messing with the numbers to make it look a particular way.’

Kamala Harris brought in Fat Joe to help her appeal to the Puerto Rican vote as she wraps up her presidential campaign.

‘This message is going to be short, but sweet, and it’s about pride to my Latinos, not just to Puerto Ricans, to my Mexican brothers and sisters,’ the rapper said during a campaign rally in Allentown, Pa.

He railed against Donald Trump for calling Hispanics ‘rapists’ and for coming to Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria and throwing paper towels to the crowd.

‘Where’s your wisdom? Where’s your pride? If you’re still out there talking about you might be voting for somebody or you’re not decided, where’s your pride as a Latino?’ he roared. ‘If you’re Latino, you’re Haitian, you’re black, where’s your pride? Where’s your pride?’

Fat Joe was born in the Bronx of Puerto Rican and Cuban descent.

Harris appeared in Allentown hours after Trump held a rally there as the former president tried to clean up the fallout from a joke gone bad at his Madison Square Garden rally.

In Pennsylvania, a crucial battleground state, the Puerto Rican population amounts to nearly 500,000 people and could swing the outcome of the election.

Allentown is a Hispanic majority town. Harris has three more stops in the state: Reading, Pittsburgh, and Philadelphia.

Worries are emerging among Republicans that voters will not trust the outcome of the election in the swing state of Nevada after a ballot counting court ruling last week.

Republicans were handed a loss in the left-leaning battleground when the Nevada Supreme Court ruled just eight days before the 2024 election that un-postmarked mail-in ballots received on the third day after November 5 may still be counted.

‘This infringes on – and dilutes the right of – every voter who exercised the constitutional right to vote,’ pollster Craig Keshishian told DailyMail.com. ‘And in legal terms, it’s an impingement on due process and equal protection of those who play by the rules.’

RNC spokeswoman Claire Zunk shared a statement with DailyMail.com that declares the ruling undermines the ‘critical election security safeguard that ensures ballots mailed after Election Day are not counted.’

Pennsylvania’s Secretary of State Al Schmidt said that the election result in the state might not be known right away.

He said that the state ‘has never had final, official results on Election Night.’

Part of the reason is that mail-in ballots won’t be tallied until Election Day after 7 a.m. local time.

The state has seen ‘nearly two million mail-in ballots’ already, he went on.

All registered voters will have a chance to make their voices heard.

Betting markets suggest the election will be officially called the day after the polls close despite widespread expectations that it will be one of the closest in history.

By large margins on the betting sites Polymarket and Kalshi bettors are picking Wednesday, November 6 as the date when the Associated Press will make the call.

In 2020, it took four days for the Associated Press to make its announcement that Joe Biden had won.

Speaking in Reading, Pennsylvania backed by ‘Women for Trump’ signs, the former president started in on a football analogy – and then got to complaining about a new NFL on-field rule.

‘We’re at the 2 yard line, maybe the 1 yard line,’ Trump began, shortly after saying he had a ‘massive lead.’

Then he said ‘We’re starting from a negative, you know, we’re starting from like about 15 yards off the field. We’re not starting at the 20.’

‘And speaking of football, maybe we can get the NFL to drop that ridiculous kickoff,’ Trump said. He said he wondered ‘’What the hell are they? What is that?’ He continued: ‘I watched the game the other day. I said, What the hell happened? They just kicked off and nobody moved. Oh, well, that’s up to them.’

The new rules this season create a ‘landing zone.’ The two teams line up closer together, the kick remains at the 35, and tacklers from the kicking team hold back until the ball hits the ground or a player after a kick. It is meant to reduce high-speed collisions and player injuries.

Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign cautioned Monday that a result likely wouldn’t be known on Election Day since the presidential race is so close.

‘And, you know, look at the end of the day, obviously we have seen all along, we’ve believed all along, this race is going to be incredibly close, and so it’s really going to come down to mobilization,’ Harris’ campaign manager Jen O’Malley Dillon said on a call with reporters Monday afternoon.

O’Malley Dillon said the campaign expected to know the results in North Carolina and Georgia first – though not if the numbers are extremely close. And have near-complete results in four states that are not considered battlegrounds this year: Ohio, Virginia, Florida and Colorado.

‘We think everyone should be very careful not to over-index on these results in any one state since this cycle and this election states may not move together in ways that they have in the past,’ O’Malley Dillon.

By the end of Tuesday night, she said the campaign expected to have ‘near complete’ results from Georgia, North Carolina and Michigan and partial results from Pennsylvania.

By Wednesday morning there was an expectation that most results from Wisconsin would be in, as well as additional numbers from Pennsylvania and Michigan.

From Wednesday on, the campaign said additional results would be tabulated from Pennsylvania, Arizona and Nevada. In Nevada, mail-in ballots simply have to be postmarked by the time polls close on Election Day.

‘So we may not know the results of this election for several days, but we are very focused on staying calm and confident throughout this period as the process goes through, and we really know that we as a campaign have a really important role to play in keeping people calm and communicating and being transparent about the process,’ O’Malley Dillon said.

The Republican National Committee sued the city of Milwaukee, in battleground Wisconsin, after the city allegedly tried to put a limit on Republican poll watchers in certain precincts.

The GOP states that the limit on poll watchers will cast ‘doubt on the administration of our elections and cause a lack of voter confidence in our electoral process.’

The lawsuit comes the day before the election that’s razor-thin.

Trump and Harris are polling within a few points of each other in the critical swing state of Wisconsin.

The director of Milwaukee’s Election Commission fired back in a statement:

The [Milwaukee Election Commission] denies the allegation that observers will be arbitrarily limited. However, observers may be subject to reasonable limitations, a power given to chief inspectors under Wisconsin law.

At no point was the Republican Party denied the presence of an observer during the in-person absentee voting period, nor will they be denied that presence on Election Day.

Nevada’s top election prognosticator, Jon Ralston, predicted Monday that Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris would squeak out a victory in the Silver State.

Ralston is the CEO and editor of the Nevada Independent and wrote Monday that he believes the Democratic political machine built by the late Sen. Harry Reid knows which voters – even those who were auto-registered in the state as ‘nonpartisans’ – are ‘closet Democrats’ and will get them to the polls.

‘It will be just enough to overcome the Republican lead – along with women motivated by abortion and crossover votes that issue also will cause,’ he said.

I just have a feeling she will catch up here, but I also believe – and please remember this – it will not be clear who won on Election Night here, so block out the nattering nabobs of election denialism. It’s going to be very, very close. Prediction: Harris, 48.5 percent; Trump 48.2 percent; others and None of These Candidates, 3.3 percent.

On Friday, the final day of early voting in Nevada, at an early voting site near Las Vegas’ Harry Reid International Airport, DailyMail.com only found voters casting a ballot for former President Donald Trump.

Those voting early and in-person skewed male and said they were betting on Trump to improve the economy and better regulate illegal immigration.

Ralston noted that Democrats continue to be more comfortable mailing in their ballots and tens of thousands are expected to come in by Friday, the deadline.

Kamala Harris held her first rally of the day in Scranton, Pa., where she joined a canvassing event to help push out the vote.

The Democratic nominee sounded optimistic.

‘I’m telling you guys, we’re good,’ Harris said. ‘We’re good.’

‘Let’s enjoy it,’ she said.

Harris is spending her final day of campaigning in Pennsylvania, the state that could decide the election.

‘The way I’ve always been thinking about our campaign in 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 community, about building coalitions, about reminding people we all have so much more in common than what separates us,’ she told supporters in Scranton.

Throughout the day she’ll make four other stops: Allentown, Reading, and Pittsburgh before holding a massive closing rally in Philadelphia.

In Philly, she’ll be joined by Gov. Josh Shapiro, husband Doug Emhoff, Oprah Winfrey and Lady Gaga.

Posting on X, Ocasio-Cortez criticized the party’s vice presidential nominee, Butch Ware over his comments that biological males should not compete on women’s sports teams.

Ocasio-Cortez has framed herself as a staunch defender of the rights of trans people, and has launched a series of attacks on the Green Party, which threatens to draw votes from Democrats in Tuesday’s presidential election.

Donald Trump kicked off his final day of campaign rallies and predicted victory if his MAGA fans make it to the polls – but revealed his hoarse voice is an issue and again defended the speaking style that he calls ‘the weave.’

‘If we get our vote, there’s nothing they can do,’ he told a crowd in North Carolina.

‘I hate the expression, actually – but it’s ours to lose,’ Trump said.

According to a new NPR/Marist poll out on the eve of the election, Kamala Harris has a four-point advantage over Donald Trump among likely voters.

However, Trump is maintaining the lead with Independents 51% to Harris’ 42%.

Among those who have already voted, Haris is in the lead. And Trump has the edge with voters who plan to cast their ballot on Election Day.

Millions of voters are headed to the polls on Tuesday to cast their ballots in the 2024 presidential election and a series of races down ballot. But it could take some time to count those results.

What could give anxious Americans across the country some sense of where the country is headed is the exit polling which comes out as the results are coming in on Election Day.

The exit poll is the only survey conducted entirely of voters who have already cast their ballots in the election.

It gives voters and news organizations a better sense of what is happening on the ground with voters on Election Day and in early voting as the results come in.

The polling is conducted by Edison Research, which has been the only research firm to conduct national exit polling in the United States since 2004. 

Here’s how it works:

Donald Trump is working to get sports fans to turn out to vote for him on the day before the 2024 presidential election.

The former president is joining ​​former Patriots’ coach Bill Belichick and sports commentator Jim Gray on their Let’s Go podcast on SiriusXM Monday evening.

It comes after Trump has spent the final days of his 2024 campaign filling his rally speeches with football analogies and urging voters to bring his campaign ‘into the endzone.’

The ex-president has been ramping up his appearances on ‘bro’ podcasts as he appeals to men to get out the vote.

His interview with Joe Rogan scored a record-breaking 17 million views in less than 24 hours.

Former Rep. Liz Cheney, a Republican, went on The View to slam Donald Trump, calling him unfit to hold office and warning that Speaker Mike Johnson cannot be counted on to uphold the 2024 election results.

She said that is why Republicans should not be in charge of the House next year. The new Congress will certify the winner of the 2024 election. Nancy Pelosi has made a similar argument that Republicans cannot be trusted to uphold the election results and that is why Democrats should be put in charge.

Cheney, asked if Johnson would do ‘the right thing,’ if Harris wins, said: ‘No. No, he won’t, and I think that’s why it’s so important that the Republicans not be in the majority come January 2025.’

Cheney, who has endorsed Kamala Harris, also addressed Trump’s comment that she should have rifles put in her face.

‘He knows that’s a threat,’ she said. ‘Obviously the intimidation won’t work.’

She revealed she’s already voted for Harris and said Republicans unhappy with Trump should not write in an alternative name when they cast their ballot.

‘It’s not a race where we have the luxury of being able, you know, sometimes conservatives will say, well, I’m going to write in an alternative,’ she said.

‘I want to make sure people all across the country understand you don’t have that luxury. We have to defeat him, and I can’t tell you how proud I was to fill in that, you know, circle next to Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.’

Whoopi Goldberg suggested Cheney, who is a lawyer, could be Harris’ attorney general.

‘You could conceivably be a great AG if this was — and I say this because your moral core is magnificent. I know you probably don’t want to even think about it, but I just feel like I would feel a lot better with you leading the FBI,’ Goldberg said.

Cheney wouldn’t directly address the idea, merely saying: ‘We have to get Vice President Harris elected tomorrow.’

And when asked about Trump’s comment that he’s going to help women whether they like it or not, Cheney replied: ‘Let’s defeat Donald Trump tomorrow whether he likes it or not.’

Come November 6, I won’t care who won the election. I’ll be too busy getting to work.

As a businessman, I will adapt to the economic policies of our new president, whoever that may be.

It’s certainly no time for getting bothered by questions of personality. What I’m concerned about is policy.

But that doesn’t mean that I don’t have a clear preference when it comes to the economic policies of each candidate — and here’s how I evaluate them.

The Morning Joe team celebrated a new poll showing Kamala Harris leading Donald Trump in Iowa this morning.

Joe Scarborough praised the poll as ‘canary in the coal mine’ of the direction of the 2024 election.

Jill Biden headed to North Carolina to campaign for Kamala Harris on Monday while President Joe Biden returned to the White House from a weekend at their Wilmington home.

It was the second day in a row the first lady was on the campaign trail. She spent Sunday in the battleground state of Pennsylvania.

And it marks the second day Joe Biden was absent from the campaign as Harris distances herself from the president.

Former independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. begged his supporters not to vote for him as his name remains on the ballot in two swing states.

‘VOTE TRUMP. No matter what state you live in, do NOT vote for me,’ RFK Jr. posted to X Monday morning.

Kennedy was unable to remove himself from the ballots in Wisconsin and Michigan, where polls show a razor-thin race between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris.

In August, RFK Jr. suspended his long-shot White House bid and asked supporters in swing states to back Trump. He later told supporters that they should vote for Trump regardless of where they live.

Last week the Supreme Court rejected Kennedy’s last-minute plea to have his name removed from ballots in Michigan and Wisconsin as voting had already started.

Kennedy has boasted that Trump will put him in charge of something healthcare-related if the Republican is successful Tuesday, though one of the top figures on Trump’s transition team said ‘of course not’ when asked if RFK Jr. would be tapped to be Trump’s Health and Human Services secretary.

Trump returns to his familiar refrains about Kamala Harris surrogates who have gone after him on the campaign trail.

Among them is former first lady Michelle Obama. ‘She took some shots at me. I said, “Woah, woah, woah.”‘

He called Barack Obama ‘the great divider,’ then called him by his full name, ‘Barack Hussein Obama.’

‘He came out the same way for Hillary, how did that work out?’ Trump added.

Then he called former Speaker Nancy Pelosi ‘a disgrace.’ He also blasted her husband for selling stock in Visa two months before the DOJ announced an investigation.

‘They impeached me on no evidence, I did nothing wrong. Fortunately, the Republicans stood up for me 100 percent,’ he said. Trump was acquitted 57-43, short of the necessary two-thirds majority, with seven Republicans voting to convince.

Vance’s motorcade made an unexpected stop after his stump speech in Wisconsin. It came to a halt in la Crosse beside what looked like six giant chemical containers, but which are billed as the world’s larget six pack.

Vance popped into the City Brewery and emerged with this promise to ‘make six packs great again.’

Your traveling journalist was not allowed off the bus so was not allowed to sample the wares.

Michael Jordan’s representatives have strenuously denied that the NBA legend has endorsed Donald Trump ahead of this week’s presidential election.

On the eve of the much-anticipated vote, rumors flooded social media that MJ was backing Trump in his battle against vice president Kamala Harris.

Many athletes from across sports have publicly supported their preferred candidate, including LeBron James – who endorsed Harris – and Nick Bosa, who wore a Make America Great Again hat after a recent game.

But Jordan has steered clear of backing either nominee. In a statement to DailyMail.com, his representatives said: ‘There is absolutely no truth to the claim that Michael Jordan has made an endorsement in the presidential election.’

The six-time NBA champion, whose star power endures decades after he retired, is notoriously private.

Trump is endeavoring to stay on schedule – and sharing the time management strategies with his crowd.

‘I was going to get out of here fast. I’m doing four of these things today. And the voice is holding up, just about barely,’ he said after making several long digressions.

He defended his speaking style. ‘The press will say, “Oh he rambled.’ No, you know what that is? That’s genius. That’s the weave. … That was the ultimate weave.

But he was watching the clock. ‘I gotta go a little quicker now. I took Marco’s place and I took Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ place … and I’m going to ask them to come up right now,’ he said. He brought up Sen. Rubio and his former press secretary.

He praised their brevity. ‘What they just did was better and appreciated, it brings us a little bit into schedule,’ Trump said.

Trump told his North Carolina crowd that he ‘loves dogs,’ in a campaign that has featured more pet commentary than most.

He made the comment after a high-pitched noise came out from the crowd.

‘I love dogs. We love dogs,’ Trump said, before

Then he swerved to talking about his daughter-in-law, Lara. ‘She would come into the office and she loves dogs and pets. And she would get me to do things for doggies that you wouldn’t believe,’ Trump said.

‘Dad we have to make the cages larger. We have to provide air conditioning,’ he said Lara told him.

‘I said do we have to give them a steam bath?’

Donald Trump kicked off his final day of campaign rallies and predicted victory if his MAGA fans make it to the polls.

‘If we get our vote, there’s nothing they can do,’ he told a crowd in North Carolina.

‘Hopefully everything will work out well. We’re way leading. All we have to do is close it up,’ Trump said, after polls showed one of the closest races in years.

‘It’s ours to lose,’ Trump said.

But he also noted how sometimes things don’t turn out as expected for Republicans. ‘You’d watch it like a racehorse and sometimes they’d get there and sometimes they wouldn’t,’ Trump allowed. ‘My only purpose in even being here today: get out and vote. You know that,’ he said.

Trump sounded hoarse on Sunday during an extended rally in Lititz, Pennsylvania where he said he shouldn’t have left the White House and spoke about how ‘somebody would have to shoot through the fake news’ to get him.

On Monday, his voice was back, and he was going on and off the teleprompter, threatening to tell Mexico’s new president he would impose a 25 percent tariff/. He previewed a potential shakedown. ‘If you don’t give us $3 billion, I’ll impose the biggest friggin’ tariff …’ Trump said, stopping himself short on the last word.

Raleigh is the first of four campaign stops on the eve of the election for the former president, 78.

He is also going to North Carolina and Pennsylvania today as he makes his final pitch to swing state voters.

Vice President Kamala Harris did something at her rally in East Lancing, Michigan, Sunday night that she has never done before – she didn’t mention Donald Trump by name.

It was a notable change considering she has spent weeks railing against Trump as an unhinged threat to democracy. She called him ‘unstable, obsessed with revenge, consumed with grievance, and out for unchecked power’ while speaking on the National Mall last week.

But two days before Election Day, she has changed her tune. Her team said it’s part of an effort to end her campaign on a ‘fully positive’ note.

Donald Trump is leading Kamala Harris in all swing states except one in Emerson’s last poll before the election.

He’s up in Arizona (2 points), Pennsylvania (1 point), Georgia (1 point) and North Carolina (1 point).

Trump and Harris tie at 49 percent in Wisconsin and 48 percent in Nevada.

Harris is only up by two points in Michigan.

The results are all well within the margin of error with less than 48 hours to go until the first polls close in the U.S.

Prominent progressive filmmaker Michael Moore has boldly predicted that Trump ‘is toast’ in the upcoming election.

The director of Fahrenheit 9/11 made the declaration on MSNBC Sunday, speaking on the state of the race and how he believes his home state of Michigan will play a part.

Moore, a Democrat, correctly predicted the 2016 election – but told host Ayman Mohyeldin this time around, Trump will likely lose.

Vice President Kamala Harris has not yet been able to show conclusively that she worked at McDonald’s while she was a college student.

Her claims she has used to back up her ‘middle class’ roots lead to frequent taunting from Donald Trump – who even trolled her by doing his own shift in the fast food joint.

‘I’ve now worked for 15 minutes more than Kamala at McDonald’s,’ Trump told reporters and customers after he made French fries and served food out of the drive-thru service window in Pennsylvania.

The Harris campaign maintains that Harris worked at a McDonald’s location on Central Avenue in Alameda, California during the summer after her freshman year at Howard University in 1983.

But staff at the restaurant have reportedly been sworn to secrecy and when DailyMail.com contacted them to ask, an employee said ‘no, sorry’.

Melania Trump has blasted out emails the past two days – hawking a collector’s edition of her memoir.

She notes the edition contains exclusive photos, including ones taken by her during her time as first lady.

The edition, which retails for $250, is also signed by her.

No mention is made of husband Donald Trump’s presidential campaign with the election only two days away.

Melania – along with their son Baron – left New York for Palm Beach, where they will spend election night at Mar-a-Lago with the former president.

Donald Trump is rising again on betting markets after his odds tanked in the wake of a shock poll.

A Des Moines Register poll, released over the weekend, showed him down three points in Iowa, a traditionally conservative state.

It led to Trump’s odds on betting and prediction markets plummeting.

His lead over Kamala Harris on betting site Polymarket sank to seven points at the weekend, but on Monday morning it had risen to 18 points.

On the Kalshi betting market, where Harris briefly overtook Trump at the weekend, Trump on Monday soared to a 12 percent lead.

With less than 48 hours until the election, Kamala Harris and her top Democratic allies are frantically campaigning across the country.

The vice president is jetting between swing states in a last-minute bid to land crucial votes that could help her in one of the closest elections in history.

But there is a notable absence from a usually very powerful supporter: President Joe Biden.

The 81-year-old commander-in-chief spent part of Sunday tucked away at the exclusive Fieldstone Golf Club near his home in Wilmington, Delaware.

The value of the U.S. dollar fell after a shock poll showed Kamala Harris ahead of Donald Trump in Iowa.

A Des Moines Register poll released over the weekend had Harris leading Trump by 47 percent to 44 percent in the traditionally conservative state.

On Monday, the dollar sank by 0.6 percent against other major currencies.

It was on course for its biggest daily fall for over a month.

Expectations of a Trump win on Tuesday had been driving the value of the dollar up.

As early voting continues, over 77 million Americans have already cast a ballot in the 2024 election hours before Election Day officially kicks off.

Here’s a breakdown of the swing state early voting according to the Associated Press:

• Arizona: 2,258,477
• Georgia: 4,013,193
• Nevada: 1,080,810
• North Carolina: 4,440,604
• Pennsylvania: 1,777,019
• Wisconsin: 1,499,164

Social media users have reacted after a bizarre clip of Donald Trump emerged when his microphone cut out during a rally.

Opting to instead use a handheld microphone, Trump was seen yanking at the microphone at his stand before he started putting his mouth around it.

A new TIPP poll has Trump and Harris tied on 48 percent on the eve of the election.

This is turning out to be one of the closest elections in U.S. history as there is no clear leader between the two candidates.

Trump and Harris are making their final pitches to voters today in several swing states.

By Emily Goodin, senior White House correspondent

Donald Trump will hit three states in his final day of campaigning before Election Day, while Kamala Harris will spend her day in Pennsylvania, holding her first event six hours after the former president holds his.

Harris will hold her first event of the day at 2 pm long after Trump’s first rally at 10 a.m.

Trump will begin his morning in Raleigh, N.C., and then he, too, will be in Pennsylvania.

He and Harris will spend the afternoon cris-crossing each other in the critical battleground state.

Trump will start in Reading while Harris is in Allentown, which is her first event of the day. Then Harris will head to Allentown while Trump moves on to Pittsburgh.

Allentown is a majority Latino city that is home to 34,000 Puerto Ricans, a voting bloc that grew in power after a joke gone bad at Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally.

Harris will then head to Pittsburgh and end her night in Philadelphia. She’ll bring out the star power at her final events – Katy Perry in Pittsburgh; Lady Gaga and Oprah Winfrey in Philadelphia.

Trump will hold his final rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan – the same city he finished his 2016 and 2020 campaign schedules.

Sen J.D. Vance looks how we all feel as we begin the final day of the campaign. He boarded Trump Force One clutching an iced coffee as if his life depended on it, his hair and beard unkempt, wearing a sweatshirt under a fleece jacket.

It was a look that said he was ready for this to be all over.

In contrast, wife Usha was all smiles as she climbed the steps. She motioned to her husband to look under the wing, where their traveling press corps had grown in size for the occasion.

An aide carried two trays of donuts to the back of the plane for journalists.

Next stop is La Crosse, Wisconsin, and the first of four rallies in battleground states.

NBC gave Donald Trump two minutes of free airtime during prime time Sunday night sporting events after the Peacock Network was accused of giving special treatment to his opponent.

But Brendan Carr, the senior Republican commissioner on the Federal Communications Commission didn’t see the funny side and blasted the Vice President’s skit as a ‘clear and blatant effort’ to evade the Equal Time rule.

Lady Gaga and Oprah Winfrey will join Kamala Harris at the final rallies of her 2024 presidential election campaign.

‘It’s time to get ready to vote. I’ll see you in Pennsylvania,’ Gaga posted to Instagram.

But Taylor Swift, who endorsed the vice presidents after her one and only debate with Donald Trump and who is from Pennsylvania, won’t be there.

Among the other stars stumping for the Democrat in Philadelphia will include: DJ Cassidy, Fat Joe, Freeway and Just Blaze, DJ Jazzy Jeff, Ricky Martin, The Roots, Jazmine Sullivan and Adam Blackstone.

In Pittsburgh, there will be performances from Katy Perry and Andra Day.

The former first lady and her son Barron, 18, were spotted leaving their New York City home on Sunday, before boarding a private jet with a mass of Louis Vuitton luggage and six garment bags bearing the Presidential emblem in tow.

The pair – who would have arrived to their destination by now – were likely headed to the Trump’s Mar-a-Lago headquarters in West Palm Beach ahead of Election Day.

Vice President Kamala Harris fired up a crowd of young voters on the Michigan State University Campus Sunday night after a shock poll out of Iowa gave her hopes she could find a path to victory fueled by women voters.

The Democratic candidate made a bold claim about the state of the presidential race with polls on a knife-edge less than 48 hours until the polls close.

‘We have momentum on our side can you feel it?’ she told thousands of screaming student voters inside the Jenison Field House on campus in East Lansing.

Early voting has wrapped up in seven states on Monday ahead of Election Day on November 5.

Alaska, Arkansas, Colorado, Iowa, Indiana, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Rhode Island and Wyoming closed their early voting in-person periods.

The Senate race in Montana between Republican Tim Sheehy and Democrat Jon Tester is especially tight.

The outcome of that matchup could determine the balance of power in the Senate.

Unfavorable weather conditions on Election Day may decrease voter turnout and sway people’s decisions, experts revealed.

On Tuesday, several areas from the Great Lakes to eastern Texas – including two key swing states – are forecasted to experience rain and thunderstorms, according to The Weather Channel.

Michigan and Wisconsin voters may have to bear through ‘gusty’ winds and showers to cast their ballots.

And now there are reports of multiple tornadoes sweeping through Oklahoma, which could make it hard for some voters to get to the polls.

Former President Bill Clinton has defended his successor George W. Bush for not giving an endorsement in the presidential election despite a push for him to back Kamala Harris.

Clinton, 78, said Bush is a ‘proud Republican’ and wouldn’t want to ‘give up’ the party he has dedicated his life to by picking a side.

Bush’s daughter Barbara campaigning for Harris sparked calls for the former president to break his silence and disavow Donald Trump.

But Bush, also 78, has instead chosen to remain on the sidelines when it comes to having his say on the top of the ticket.

Nate Silver has unveiled his latest prediction ahead of the presidential election – suggesting that the outcome will practically be a coin flip.

The polling guru gave former President Donald Trump a 51.5 percent chance to win the electoral college, while Vice President Kamala Harris walked away with a 48.1 percent chance of victory.

Silver, who left Five Thirty Eight in 2023 and took his forecasting model with him, made his latest prognostication on his Substack blog called the Silver Bulletin.

Kamala Harris has been warned she runs the risk of losing the state of Pennsylvania and the election if she does not denounce anti-Israel activists who have appeared on the campaign trail for her.

The incumbent Vice President is set to campaign in Pittsburgh on Election Eve as the race for the White House enters its final hours alongside the likes of Lady Gaga.

Backlash has been brewing in the city after her campaign hosted speakers who have blamed Israel for being partly responsible for the horrific October 7 attacks by Hamas terrorists.

Cardi B has unleashed an expletive-laden rant over criticism for her bungling speech at a rally for Vice President Kamala Harris.

The 32-year-old rapper has faced backlash for her use of a cellphone to read a speech at a packed event in Milwaukee on Friday, after standing silently for a minute when the teleprompter glitched.

Veteran political strategist Alex Castellanos has said pollsters are overlooking a huge shift in Republican voter registration – which could tip the scale toward Trump in the final days of the campaign.

Donald Trump and Kamala Harris are locked in what polls indicate is a razor thin margin – including in the seven crucial swing states that could decide the election – and some are predicting the presidential race could unravel as one of the closest in US history.

Harris is set to appear in Pittsburgh on Election Eve along with pop star Katy Perry as Trump barnstorms through North Carolina, Pittsburgh, and Grand Rapids, Michigan.

The Real Clear Polling average has Donald Trump with a tiny lead over Harris nationally at 0.1 percent.

It’s a sign of the extremely tight race with just one day of the campaign to go.

Trump and Harris are heading to the crucial swing states of Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Michigan today to make their final pitches to voters.

Harris is rallying with big stars including Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Oprah Winfrey, Ricky Martin and more.

Every vote will matter in this election and the candidates are focused on getting their supporters out to the polls tomorrow.

A poll released Sunday by the New York Times had Trump trailing Harris in four crucial swing states: Nevada, Wisconsin, North Carolina and Georgia.

They were in a dead tie in Michigan and Pennsylvania and Trump captured a narrow lead over the VP in Arizona.
