Presidential election odds 2024: Forecaster who predicted a Harris win issues a dramatic update

A data model that had predicted Kamala Harris would win in a landslide now says Donald Trump will win the election.

Forecaster Thomas Miller uses a model that relies on betting markets rather than polls.

The model had indicated the Democrat would get more than 400 votes in the Electoral College.

But it now suggests Trump could win clearly with 345 Electoral College votes.

Miller told Newsweek:

The 2024 race for the presidency has gone from toss-up to Republican landslide, to toss-up, to a possible Democratic landslide, to toss-up, and now to a possible Republican landslide.

Could prediction markets and associated election forecasts turn again with less than two weeks before the close of voting on November 5? Yes. We expect to see increased trading and high volatility in the final week of the race.

Among those who joined the vice president for her rally in Madison, WI tonight was her step-daughter Ella Emhoff.

Actor Josh Gad unleashed a torrent of four-letter words at the prospect of a second Trump term as he campaigned for Vice President Kamala Harris in Las Vegas Wednesday.

'I'm Olaf and I like sane candidates,' said the Frozen star at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, warming up the room for Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and second gentleman Doug Emhoff.

After reminding the audience he's likely most famous for a role in a children's movie, he let the swear words rip.

'Just so you know, I prepared a whole speech, I was going to do a whole thing, and then I'm like ehh it's bulls***. I want to talk to you from the heart. Not as a surrogate, as somebody who was in your shoes once,' he said.

He said that he doesn't like that 'one candidate leads with such hate, leads with such venom.'

'Because my kids look at that person and go, "Oh that's the leader of the free world,'" Gad said.

'Because when you lead like that, you teach our kids that they can be, sorry to the cameras, real pieces of s***. And that's a problem. And I'm done with that problem. I did four years of that. And I'm not going back,' he said - reciting the Harris-Walz campaign slogan.

'And if that motherf***er gets anywhere near the White House, we are all in grave danger,' the actor warned.

Sarah Ewall-Wice, Senior U.S. Political Reporter in Madison, WI:

The vice president speaking in Wisconsin is giving a similar stump speech to her other speeches throughout the day.

She is expressing confidence tonight that she will win.

But when she said they are going 'forward' she did note it is the state motto of Wisconsion.

'Wisconsin, I am asking for your vote,' Harris said.

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

The vice president has been interrupted by protesters.

'We all want the war in Gaza to end and the hostages out,' Kamala Harris said in response.

She said 'everyone has the right to be heard, but right now I am speaking.'

There appeared to be two separate groups of protesters in the arena.

It comes after she was also interrupted by a lone heckler at her North Carolina rally earlier today.

Vice President Kamala Harris takes the stage for her star-studded Get Out the Vote rally in Madison, WI.

It is her third rally of the day. She was met with a massive welcome.

She was greeted by a sea of red as the rally adopted the Wisconsin Badgers colors for the occasion with a massive red Harris-Walz sign and red vote signs.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez fawned over second gentleman Doug Emhoff's 'masculinity' and 'values' at a campaign stop Wednesday in Las Vegas.

DailyMail.com reported that Emhoff impregnated the family's nanny while married to his first wife, allegedly slapped his ex-girlfriend at the Cannes Film Festival and was 'inappropriate' and 'misogynistic' at work.

But the New York Democrat glossed those allegations over - despite Emhoff's people confirming his affair with the nanny - to gush to a crowd of students at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas that he was the ideal modern male.

'He's not afraid to embody and pass on these values of security and this idea that you can, you can let your girl shine,' she said. 'And he embodies that really well. We should all be really, really proud of him.'

Billionaire hedge fund manager Ken Griffin has said that Donald Trump is likely to win next week's election - but he said the margin will be razor-thin.

'The expectation today is that Donald Trump will win the White House,' the Citadel founder said on Tuesday.

However, Griffin - whose $42 billion fortune makes him the 37th richest person in the world - noted the race is 'almost a coin flip.'

A prominent Republican donor, Griffin has contributed around $100 million to the GOP during this election cycle, Bloomberg reported.

Griffin is also notorious among retail investors for his involvement in the 2021 GameStop stock frenzy, where he was accused of helping hedge funds who faced big losses if the share price went too high.

Trump enjoyed trolling Biden and Harris with his garbage truck stunt. But it didn't go quite according to plan.

This video shows him looking frail as he grabs for the door handle and struggles to open the cab. Then he stumbles slightly and he appears discombobulated when the door swings back at him.

Trump, 78, would become the oldest president ever inaugurated if he wins election.

But for much of the campaign he was insulated from scrutiny about his health and fitness by the fact that he was running against an 81-year-old.

A week before the Presidential election, Donald Trump's granddaughter Kai has released a video alongside popular YouTube star Garrett Clark.

The 17-year-old, who boasts a handicap of 0.2, is the daughter of Donald Trump Jr and his wife Vanessa. She is often seen playing alongside her 'grandpa' and the likes of Bryson DeChambeau.

In this latest video, however, Kai faced off with Clark in an 18-hole, stroke-play match at Stonebriar Country Club in Smithtown, New York.

There is no mention of the election or Trump's grandfather in the video other than a nod to playing on his golf courses.

Trump finished on 5-over-par, two strokes behind Clark, who is part of Good Good -one of the most influential channels in golf.

Aides of Donald Trump convinced him he looked slimmer wearing a vest than a suit. So he wore a bright orange construction-style vest on stage during his remarks in Green Bay on Wednesday evening.

'Sir would you like to drive a garbage truck?' one of his staffers petitioned according to the ex-president.

He said he thought it sounded 'kind of cool' and was up for it before he was told, 'Sir we have a vest.'

Then came the next challenge: Climbing the dauntingly high steps up into the garbage truck. 'How the hell do you get into the truck,' Trump joked, noting how 'it was way up high.'

He admitted thinking, 'If I don't get up there this is going to be very embarrassing.' The former president revealed that with all the cameras rolling he really 'had the adrenaline going.'

But after the event he panicked: 'Where is my jacket?' His concerns were quickly alleviated, he said.

'It actually makes you look thinner,' Trump said while smiling, mentioning that he appreciated the flattery. 'They got me and I said now I want to wear it on stage,' he told the cracking up crowd.

'I may never wear a blue jacket again,' he continued on, stoking the crowd's laughs.

Ahead of the 2024 Presidential election, see how Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are really faring among voters with DailyMail.com's brilliant poll tracker.

Our interactive graphs give invaluable insight into how pollsters are predicting the outcome of the race.

Polls in the last week have seen momentum swing to Trump, but the race is still on a knife's edge and is set to be one of the closest in history.

The winner will ultimately decided in the seven swing states: Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin, North Carolina, Nevada and Arizona.

The margins in each of the battleground are razor thin, and the next president could be decided by just a few thousand votes.

All of the data used in our analysis comes from Harris versus Trump polls collated by DailyMail.com's pollsters J.L. Partners and FiveThirtyEight.

Kamala Harris and Donald Trump have clearly set their sights on Pennsylvania as key to victory in the presidential election.

But all roads to the White House do not run through the Keystone State - and each candidate has a winning detour despite dominating the news cycle with their recent stops there.

Harris recently held campaign events in Erie and Washington Crossing, after which she did her 'It's gotta stop!' combative interview with Fox News' Brett Baier that her staffers stepped in to abruptly end after she showed up late.

And Trump garnered a horde of headlines off his recent Pennsylvania whistle-stops, especially one in Latrobe, outside Pittsburgh, where he delivered a literal locker-room tale about golf legend Jack Nicklaus that drew quite a bit of attention.

Still, Pennsylvania with its 19 electoral votes is the biggest of the seven battleground states - one that that could swing either way and singlehandedly decide the race.

And the latest polling is showing the race in a dead heat in the crucial swing state, with Trump up less than half a point in the Real Clear Politics average.

While the path forward to the necessary 270 electoral votes becomes much more complicated without Pennsylvania, it does not mean the race is over for either Trump or Harris.

The band Mumford & Sons are performing at Vice President Kamala Harris' Get out The Vote rally in Madison, WI.

Marcus Mumford told the crowd that he was born in California and just last week cast his ballot for the vice president and running mate Tim Walz.

Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump are in the fight of their lives with the presidential race neck-and-neck ahead of Election Day on November 5.

Whoever wins the White House will be able to set the course of the country for a generation.

Both candidates have been aggressively campaigning across the country, but if it feels like they’re repeatedly visiting the same states over and over again, they are.

While millions of voters in all 50 states will be casting ballots in the presidential election, the entire race comes down to just over a handful of so-called battleground states where the races are razor thin and could go either way in 2024.

Harris is on a path to likely win the popular vote in the presidential election, but the next president must win the Electoral College, which has a set of electors per state who select a candidate based on state results.

A Philadelphia judge has set a hearing Thursday morning in the city prosecutor's bid to shut down Elon Musk's $1 million-a-day sweepstakes in battleground states. The giveaways come from Musk's political organization, which aims to boost Donald Trump's presidential campaign.

Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner, a Democrat, filed suit Monday to stop the America PAC sweepstakes, which is set to run through Election Day. Judge Angelo Foglietta will hear motions on the issue in a City Hall courtroom.

Matthew Haverstick, one of several lawyers representing the defendants, declined to say late Wednesday if Musk would attend the hearing.

The sweepstakes is open to people in battleground states who sign a petition supporting the Constitution.

Krasner has said he could still consider criminal charges, saying he is tasked with protecting the public from both illegal lotteries and 'interference with the integrity of elections.'

Taylor Swift fans are sparking backlash for writing in the singer on the 2024 presidential election ballot.

A number of Swifties have taken to social media to post their ballots for the Blank Space hitmaker, writing-in the 34-year-old over official candidates like Donald Trump, Kamala Harris, and Jill Stein.

'First time voter and I couldn't bring myself to vote for any of the candidates presented on the ballot. Thinking about all Taylor has done for the US economy these last few years I decided to #Vote for Miss Americana herself,' one gushed.

Another fan wrote, 'I'm so excited that I'm finally able to vote cause I can't think of anyone more deserving.

'We should start a hashtag for this #SwiftiesForPresidentTaylor.'

Two election officials in a small Michigan town have been stripped of their duties overseeing Tuesday's U.S. presidential election after they vowed to go ahead with a plan to hand count already tabulated ballots in an alleged violation of state law.

Tom Schierkolk and David LaMere, the clerk and deputy clerk in Rock River Township, were ordered by Michigan Bureau of Elections Director Jonathan Brater to refrain from administering the vote, according to a letter from Brater dated October 28.

In a campaign that is shattering spending records, a handful of individuals are accounting for a massive splurge that is driving the ad spending voters are seeing on billboards and smartphones in battleground states.

Among them are billionaires who amassed fortunes in railroads, hedge funds, and shipping platforms.

The five top mega-donors are all backing Republicans, with Donald Trump relying on their support to try to counter the edge Kamala Harris has garnered among individual contributors.

Topping the list is Timothy Mellon, the grandson of leading financier and Pittsburgh native Andrew Mellon. He alone accounts for $172 million in campaign contributions, with $125 million going to the pro-Trump MAGA, Inc.

He also gave $25 million to American Values 2024, which backs Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., who ended his independent campaign and threw his support to Trump.

The former president put him on his transition effort and said he will take on health responsibilities in a future Trump administration.

Tucked away in the far northwest corner of country just before the cliffs drop off into the Pacific Ocean lies America's last true bellwether county.

A decidedly purple place, the small, rural region of Clallam County in Washington boasts an unmatched record of voting for every presidential election winner since Ronald Reagan in 1980.

This is the longest success streak of any of America's 3,143 counties.

Now all eyes are on this unassuming county once again to see which way the wind is blowing for 2024, as vice president Kamala Harris faces off against former president Donald Trump in a divisive, neck and neck race.

A top election data guru revealed a major sign that former President Donald Trump could win the presidential election next week.

CNN senior political data reporter Harry Enten said a key metric going into the election in six days is the low number of voters who feel the country is on the 'right track.'

Just 28 percent of Americans in an aggregate of recent polls believe that the country is going in the right direction.

That's a significant hurdle for Vice President Kamala Harris to overcome, Enten told CNN anchor John Berman and Kate Bolduan.

'There isn't a single time in which 28 percent of the American public thinks the country is going on the right track in which the incumbent party actually won,' Enten said, citing every election since the 1980s.

'The bottom line is if Republicans win come next week, Donald Trump wins come next week, the signs all along will have been obvious,' he said.

Singer Gracie Abrams is performing at the Kamala Harris rally in Madison, WI.

The 25-year-old entered to thunderous applause and spoke before jumping into her performance.

Abrams praised Harris as 'the right leader at a very tricky time' and talked about the privilege of getting to vote.

'We have to vote,' she said and urged the attendees to make a plan.

When a speaker at Donald Trump's wild Madison Square Garden rally on Sunday compared Puerto Rico to a 'floating island of garbage' it sparked outrage.

But wall-to-wall media coverage of the incident involving comedian Tony Hinchcliffe appears not to have changed many minds when it comes to voting.

Just 0.7 percent of the electorate have a more negative view of Trump following the incident, which happened during a five-hour MAGA marathon in the heart of Manhattan.

The lack of impact on voters was revealed in an exhaustive final poll before Election Day by DailyMail.com and J.L. Partners, for which 1,003 people were surveyed.

More than 50 million Americans have already cast their ballots, but some are still making up their minds, and others are still considering whether to vote at all.

Donald Trump hit back at President Joe Biden for calling his MAGA supporters 'garbage' with a spectacular nine-word zinger.

'You can't lead America if you don't love Americans,' said Trump speaking to a crowd of supporters at a Rocky Mount, North Carolina, rally Wednesday.

'And you can't be president if you hate the American people,' he continued.

Biden likened MAGA supporters to trash while discussing comedian Tony Hinchcliffe's joke about Puerto Rico being a 'island of garbage' during Trump's Madison Square Garden rally in New York.

Donald Trump was especially easy to spot on stage Wednesday night.

Taking the stage at his rally in Green Bay, Wisconsin, the ex-president was donning at bright neon orange and yellow vest.

Just after landing in town Trump accompanied a garbage truck driver around on a couple laps of a local airport tarmac to make a point about President Joe Biden's comments on Tuesday that Trump supporters are 'garbage.'

Upon taking the mic the ex-president assured the crowd they are not trash.

President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden welcomed hundreds of cute trick-or-treaters for their last Halloween at the White House.

The first lady dressed up as a panda bear for the occasion. She handed out copies of the kids’ book ’10 Spooky Pumpkins’ while the president handed out candy with the White House seal and his signature.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken brought his kids for the fun. OMB director Sholanda Young, who got a big hug from the president, brought her daughter.

The president happily chatted with the kids as he handed out the sweet treats, giving one baby dressed as a chicken a kiss. He also got into the spirit, pretending to be frightened when he saw kids in spooky costumes.

The first lady took off her panda head as the line kept going but continued to pass out books.

More than 8400 pumpkins, of which 240 are edible, are decorating the White House lawn. They will eventually be donated to DC Central Kitchen.

Games are set up on the South Lawn and various government agencies have booths to pass out sweet treats. The Beast is parked at the bottom of the driveway for photo-ops.

About 8,000 guests in total will participate in this year’s Halloween event at the White House, making their way through the festivities throughout the day.

Former Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre slammed President Biden for calling MAGA supporters trash.

'I can assure you we're not garbage,' he said. 'How dare you say that. Looking out I see police officers, teachers, nurses grandparents students I see everyday Americans that make this country great.'

The former Packer continued: 'Just like the Packers organization, Donald Trump and his organization is a winner and the United States of America won with his leadership.'

Singer Remi Wolf spoke at Vice President Kamala Harris' rally in Madison, WI before performing three songs.

Donald Trump was boasting about the greatness of his campaign rally sizes at just the wrong time on Wednesday.

As the former president was declaring that his rallies have massive attendance and nobody leaves early, a MAGA fan behind him got up and left.

The episode was caught in the background of the live stream of his rally in Rocky Mount, North Carolina, with six days to go to Election Day.

Rally size has been notoriously a sore spot of Trump, who has contended his rallies are the greatest in the history of mankind.

Meanwhile, Kamala Harris has consistently mocked his fascination with crowds.

The final Marquette Law School poll in Wisconsin has Kamala Harris holding a sliver or a lead over Donald Trump, 50 to 49.

The prior poll in late September had Harris leading 52 to 48 percent.

Among likely voters, Trump leads 56 to 44 among Election Day voters, while Harris leads 70-30 among those voting absentee by mail.

Wisconsin Sen. Tammy Baldwin. Is in a very tight race with Republican Eric Hovde, leading 51 to 49.

Never one to miss a trick in trolling his opponents, Former President Donald Trump climbed aboard a garbage truck as he attempted to keep Joe Biden's words in the headlines.

'It's really a disgrace,' he told reporters.

During a Zoom call a day earlier, Biden talked about a comedian who triggered fury during a routine at a Trump rally by referring to Puerto Rico as an 'island of garbage.'

'The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters,' Biden was initially quoted as saying.

The White House later clarified his words with an apostrophe in the transcript, and claimed the president was only talking about rally comic Tony Hinchcliffe, and not tens of millions of Trump supporters.

Sarah Ewall-Wice, Senior U.S. Political Reporter in Madison, WI:

Vice President Kamala Harris is headed to Madison, Wisconsin for her third rally of the day.

Dane County is the fastest growing county in the state and home of the University of Wisconsin-Madison. While the county is a Democratic stronghold, Harris needs to turn out the vote there in order to win the state.

The campaign has been very focused on getting young voters to turn out ahead of Election Day in Wisconsin with a seven person on campus team and youth organizing director.

Students can vote in the battleground state as long as they're not voting in their home state and can register during early voting which is already underway or on Election Day.

The rally is being held at the Alliant Energy Center and will include performances from Gracie Abrams, Mumford & Sons, Remi Wolf, and The National’s Matt Berninger and Aaron Dessner.

With more than three hours to go before the vice president's remarks, the arena is almost already full. It has a more than 10,000 person capacity.

'Look everybody has a right to be heard, but right now I am speaking,' she said as protestors chanted.

'Let me say something... we are six days away from an election. And ours is about a fight for democracy and our right to be heard.'

Co-Chair of the Republican National Committee Lara Trump says 'thousands' of duplicate ballots in Michigan won't be counted.

Our election integrity team received reports of thousands of duplicate ballots in Michigan.

We immediately investigated and have CONFIRMED that it was a glitch in the system - these duplicates were not and WILL NOT BE COUNTED. We are on it and protecting the vote!

The White House is potentially broke the law by changing the official transcript of President Joe Biden’s ‘garbage’ remarks, according to the House Oversight Committee.

The Republican leadership on the committee is raising concerns over the altered transcript and are demanding the White House retain and preserve all documents related to the statement and the ‘inaccurate transcript.’

The debacle over the ‘garbage’ comments sparked at Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally on Sunday when a comedian called Puerto Rico a ‘floating pile of garbage.’

Biden responded to the comments on Tuesday with: 'The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters, his hate, his demonization of Latinos is unconscionable, and it’s un-American.'

'It’s totally contrary to everything we’ve done, everything we’ve been,' the president said.

The suspected arsonist behind a spate of ballot drop box fires could be planning more attacks in the run-up to the presidential election , police have warned.

A man believed to be white and aged 30 to 40 and with experience in metal working is believed to have set boxes alight in Portland , Oregon , and Vancouver, Washington.

Police said on Wednesday the assailant sparked the blazes using incendiary devices with the messages 'Free Palestine' and 'Free Gaza'.

In the final days before the presidential election, Donald Trump has marginally pulled ahead of Kamala Harris in their razor-tight race in Pennsylvania.

Among likely voters in the Keystone State, 47 percent say they are or have voted for Donald Trump and 46 percent say the same about the vice president, according to a Quinnipiac poll.

The divide, though leaning in Trump’s favor, falls well within the poll’s 2.1 percentage point margin of error.

The survey among 2,186 Pennsylvania voters was conducted October 24-28. It was released with just six days until the presidential election on November 5.

The Republican National Committee celebrated their successful legal challenge n Bucks County, Pennsylvania as a 'major victory' to help ensure a ''secure election.'

RNC co-chair Lara Trump said their victory was evidence that the RNC election integrity team is working as planned.

'This was our number one priority. If we don't have election integrity then truly nothing else matters,' she said in a call with reporters.

The lawsuit resulted in an extension of early voting in Buck County to continue to November 1.

'It is so foundational to who we are as a country that we trust our electoral process,' she said. 'Whether you are a Republican or a Democrat or voting for an independent third party candidate we want you to feel great about your vote when you cast it in the United States of America.'

The Trump campaign’s request to extend the voting deadline in a Pennsylvania swing county has been granted.

The Trump campaign filed a lawsuit in Bucks County on Wednesday claiming some voters had been turned away by election workers while waiting to cast their ballots.

A judge accepted the request a few hours later, pushing the deadline to 5pm on Wednesday.

Vice President Kamala Harris' second rally of the day today will be in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.

A crowd of supporters has been lining up to attend the get out the vote event in the central part of the state.

It comes as polls show the race tied in the Keystone State.

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said President Joe Biden will attend the inauguration ceremony in January no matter who wins the presidential election.

‘This president believes in the peaceful transfer of power, and that's what you're going to see this president do,’ she said during her briefing.

‘It's not about him. It's about the American people. That's what the American people need to see, regardless of who wins.’

The 2025 presidential inauguration will take place on Monday, January 20, 2025, on the West Front of the United States Capitol.

Preparations have already begun. The inauguration platform is being built at the Capitol (above) and a viewing stand is being constructed in front of the White House.

Karine Jean-Pierre spent most of her press briefing cleaning up after President Joe Biden’s ‘garbage’ comment.

‘He does not view Trump supporters or anybody who supports Trump as garbage. That is not what he views. The President has said this for more than three years now,’ the White House press secretary said.

She noted Biden posted a tweet clarifying his comments because he was afraid he was ‘going to be taken out of context.’

‘The President wanted to clarify because he understood that what he may have said was …. was going to be taken out of context. So he wanted to be very, very clear about what he was trying to say,’ she said.

Biden set off a firestorm – and overshadowed Kamala Harris’ speech on the National Mall – when, on a call with Latino supporters, he referred to comedian Tony Hinchcliffe’s comment that Puerto Rico is a ‘floating island of garbage’ and appeared to expand it to all Trump supporters.

‘The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters,’ he said.

But the White House said Biden was referring to a single supporter – Hinchcliffe – and, in the official White House transcript, the word is transcribed as ‘supporter’s.’

Jean-Pierre said the White House was not defending the president but clarifying his comments.

‘Nobody's defending the President. This is the President himself, wanting to clarify what he said. He wanted to make sure that it was not taken out of context,’ she said.

ABC has sparked wild conspiracy theories after mistakenly airing election results for Pennsylvania.

The results appeared on the ticker along the bottom of the screen during a broadcast of the Formula 1 Mexico Grand Prix by ABC local affiliate WNEP-TV on Sunday.

It showed Kamala Harris taking the state with 52 percent of the votes, while Donald Trump's share was 47 percent.

It instantly prompted claims of election rigging on social media, with one person tweeting: 'The cheat is on.'

The Sopranos' Drea de Matteo took to social media to announce that she voted for Republican presidential candidate, Donald Trump, in the 2024 presidential election.

On Tuesday, the Emmy Award-winning actress, 52, shared a selfie that showed her wearing an 'I Voted' sticker as she sat in the passenger seat next to her boyfriend,  Michael Devin, who sported a red 'Make America Great Again' baseball cap.

'Guess who we voted for?' she asked. 'We voted for ourselves. We the people. You n me with the justice league in place to drain the fckn neocon/ corporate swamp.'

'You can’t lead America if you don’t love Americans,' Donald Trump slammed Kamla Harris.

'She never called Border Patrol in four years,' he continued on about her immigration policies that he believes enabled 21 million migrants into the U.S. However, the vice president has visited the border twice since being in office.

Further Republicans in Congress say that figure is closer to 11 million encounters, though they admit there are far more unaccounted for.

Donald Trump complained to a rally crowd in Rocky Mount, North Carolina about how rival Kamala Haris centered much of her speech at the Elipse in Washington around him.

‘All she talked about was Donald Trump,’ Trump said.

Then he played a supercut video stringing together a series of short clips where she said ‘Donald Trump.’

Harris invoked Trump’s name 24 times in her speech, where he called him a ‘petty tyrant’ and contrasted her own ‘to-do’ list with what she said was his ‘enemies list.’

Trump clapped back at President Joe Biden's recent comments calling supporters of the ex-president 'garbage.'

'My supporters are far higher quality than cooked Joe,' Trump said during his rally in Rocky Mount, North Carolina.

He continued: 'They've treated you like garbage because they're grossly incompetent people.'

Biden's comment was quickly disavowed by Kamala Harris but not before setting off a firestorm of negative headlines akin to Hillary Clinton's 2016 comment calling the same Trump supporters 'deplorables.'

Cue Lee Greenwood's 'God Bless the USA,' Donald Trump is taking the stage at his rally in Rocky Mountain, North Carolina.

With six days remaining until Election Day, the ex-president is starting his day in the swing state.

The Republican candidate has hit the Tar Heel State several times over the last week, stopping in nearby Greenville and then hours away in Greensboro days later.

Recently it appears Democratic nominee Kamala Harris and her campaign have seen North Carolina as a lost cause and reportedly canceling some ads set to run there.

Vice President Kamala Harris' rally was briefly interrupted by a man shouting in Raleigh, North Carolina.

Her supporters started to chant 'Kamala' as video of the crowd showed a lone man being escorted out of the event.

‘This is the thing because we know we’re actually fighting for our democracy,’ Harris said.

'And unlike Donald Trump, I don't believe people who disagree with me are the enemy,' she continued. 'He wants to put them in jail. I'll give them a seat at the table.'

She also reiterated her pledge to be a president for 'all Americans' before continuing where she left off in her speech.

NASA astronaut Buzz Aldrin endorsed Donald Trump for President on Wednesday, citing his approval of the former president's effort to revive space exploration.

The pilot of NASA's Apollo 11 lunar lander, Aldrin walked on the moon and has advocated for space exploration ever since.

'Over the years, I have seen our government's approach to space wax and wane, a fluctuating dynamic that has disappointed me from time to time,' he wrote in a statement.

'But under the first Trump Administration, I was impressed to see how human space exploration was elevated, made a policy of high importance again.'

President Joe Biden ignored questions on his garbage comment when he held a meeting in the Oval Office with the president of Cyprus.

The president didn't acknowledge reporters' inquiries about his verbal flub during the short spray in the Oval.

The Democratic Governor of North Carolina Roy Cooper has already been out warming up the crowd.

It’s her first of three battleground state events today.

The vice president's motorcade is already at the Coastal Credit Union Music Park at Walnut Creek where supporters are gathered for the event.

More than 3.3 million people have already voted early in the state.

Michelle Obama sounded an ominous warning on Tuesday night, telling thousands in Atlanta that 'disillusionment and apathy' could determine the results of the presidential election.

She called on Americans to 'stop the spiral of disillusionment and apathy. It's our job to show folks that two things can be true at once: that it is possible to be outraged by the slow pace of progress and be committed to your own pursuit of that progress.'

The former first lady was in Atlanta as part of her nonprofit When We All Vote, which encourages voting registration. Many in her audience were young students from Atlanta's historically black colleges and universities.

'It is possible to be disheartened by what's happening and still choose to do everything in your power to make it better, to speak out, to organize, to donate and yes, vote,' she reminded the crowd.

Vice President Kamala Harris' step-daughter Ella Emhoff shared a picture of her voting sticker in her Instagram stories after voting early in the 2024 election.

With the divisive nature of politics these days, many people are not keen to share who they are voting for in 2024, but new polling shows just who is the least likely to tell the truth about their vote.

Overall, twenty-three percent of voters said they have lied about who they are voting for to close family or friends, according to a new Axios Vibes survey conducted by The Harris Poll.

But when it comes to lying about their vote - Gen Z is the most likely.

Former President Donald Trump's campaign announced Wednesday morning that they had filed a lawsuit against Bucks County, Pennsylvania, accusing them of 'voter suppression.'

Voters said they were turned away from the Bucks County elections office as early as 2:30 PM, even though the Pennsylvania Department of State said that if they were in line by 5:00 PM, they had the right to apply for a mail-in ballot.

'This is a direct violation of Pennsylvanians' rights to cast their ballot - and all voters have a right to STAY in line,' the campaign announced in a statement.

'This is voter suppression from the left,' the message from the campaign continued. 'We will fight for every legal vote in Pennsylvania. Go vote, and stay in line!'

The county later Wednesday granted an extension allowing early voting to continue until 5 p.m. on Friday.

The impact of rising prices will have the most impact on the results in Pennsylvania in the presidential race, an economist has predicted.

Bernard Yaros, lead economist at Oxford Economics, said inflation could be decisive in the state that could ultimately decide the election.

His research finds that every one percentage point increase in inflation before a presidential election is linked to tens of thousands of Pennsylvanians voting against the incumbent.

‘Lower-income people devote more of their income to essentials — they will react more negatively’ to inflation shocks, Yaros told CBS MoneyWatch.

Pennsylvania ‘also has a slightly older demographic, so people on fixed incomes are going to feel the bite from high inflation.’

Harris and Trump are in a statistical dead heat in Pennsylvania, according to the latest polls.

Prices have jumped 22 percent between January 2020 and September of this year.

It means Pennsylvania’s residents are having to shell out more for everyday items like food, gas and insurance.

President Joe Biden's son Hunter expressed his fear of the 'end of America' if former President Donald Trump is elected president again.

'A second Donald Trump presidency is potentially the end of America as we’ve known it,' the president's son said to Politico Wednesday.

He said that his greatest worry was 'losing our democracy to a fascist minority' suggesting that he feared the verdict of the electoral college on who should be elected president.

Hunter Biden also accused Trump of 'lies, fear-mongering and disinformation.'

'It’s easier to scare people with lies than educate them with the truth. It’s faster. It sticks to your marrow,' he said.

Hunter did not talk about former President Donald Trump's suggestion that he would consider pardoning him, if elected president.

'I wouldn’t take it off the books,' Trump said in an interview with radio host Hugh Hewitt last week.

Biden was found guilty in a federal gun trial of three felonies and in September, he pleaded guilty to federal tax charges.

Arnold Schwarzenegger announced he will be voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 presidential election.

The former Republican governor of California shared his shock endorsement on X Tuesday.

'I don’t really do endorsements. I’m not shy about sharing my views, but I hate politics and don’t trust most politicians,' the actor wrote.

Despite that, the Terminator star, 77, said that its time for the country 'to move forward,' and that 'the only way to do that is with Harris and Walz.'

'We need to close the door on this chapter of American history, and I know that former President Trump won’t do that,' Schwarzenegger said.

'He will divide, he will insult, he will find new ways to be more un-American than he already has been, and we, the people, will get nothing but more anger.'

Democrats were thrown onto cleanup duty after President Joe Biden's damaging 'garbage' comment, with prominent Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro offering no support or explanation for Biden's words and Kamala Harris keeping her distance.

Shapiro got asked about Biden's remark just hours after the president uttered it on a zoom fundraising call that undermined Vice President Kamala's message about reaching out to Republicans just as she was delivering it to thousands of fans outside the White House.

'I had not heard that until now, Kaitlan, so I'm kind of giving you my fresh reaction to it,' Shapiro told CNN's Kaitlan Collins Tuesday evening when asked about it.

'I would never insult the good people of Pennsylvania or any Americans even if they chose to support a candidate that I didn’t support,' he said, effectively throwing Biden under the bus for the flub.

Kamala Harris said she talked to President Joe Biden on Tuesday night but they didn’t discuss his controversial ‘garbage’ comment.

‘He called me last night but this didn't come up,’ she told reporters traveling with her.

She defended Biden, saying he clarified his comment about Donald Trump’s supporters, but added that she 'disagrees' with criticism of the MAGA voter base.

‘He clarified his comments but let me be clear: I strongly disagree with any criticism of people based on who they vote for,’ she said.

‘I will be a president for all Americans whether you vote for me or not. I have that responsibility and that's the kind of work I've done my entire career and I take it very seriously.’

Biden set off a firestorm – and overshadowed Harris’ speech on the National Mall – when, on a call with Latino supporters, he referred to comedian Tony Hinchcliffe’s comment that Puerto Rico is a ‘floating island of garbage’ and appeared to expand it to all Trump supporters.

‘The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters,’ he said.

The White House immediately went into damage control mode and said Biden was referring to a single supporter – Hinchcliffe – and, in the official White House transcript, the word is transcribed as ‘supporter’s.’

From the official White House transcript:

And just the other day, a speaker at his rally called Puerto Rico a 'floating island of garbage.' Well, let me tell you something. I don't -- I -- I don't know the Puerto Rican that -- that I know -- or a Puerto Rico, where I'm fr- -- in my home state of Delaware, they're good, decent, honorable people. The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporter's -- his -- his demonization of Latinos is unconscionable, and it's un-American.

Vice President Kamala Harris revealed in an interview that she would continue to rely on Venn diagrams if elected president.

Harris admitted she has an ‘obsession’ with Venn diagram visual aid to podcaster Brené Brown.

She oddly brought up the elementary school-level tool when asked to explain her leadership style.

With less than a week to go until election day, presidential historian dubbed the 'Nostradamus' of polling experts Allan Lichtman has remained staunch on his prediction that Democratic nominee Kamala Harris will become the next US president.

The American University professor, 77, is known for fashioning his own election model that has correctly forecast every presidential winner since 1984.

Last month, he garnered a wave of criticism when he revealed that Harris had met what he believed to be the critical objectives for victory.

Now, speaking to CTV News, Lichtman said that his prediction 'does not change with respect to the ephemeral events of the campaign'.

The Supreme Court issued a ruling striking down a lower court ruling that would have kept 'noncitizens' on voter rolls in Virginia.

Gov. Glenn Youngkin called it a 'victory' for 'commonsense and fairness' with just six days to go to the election.

The biggest election night mystery of 2024 may not be whether Donald Trump or Kamala Harris gains the White House - but when Americans will find out who won.

With polls showing the race a virtual coin flip between Trump and Harris, the November 5 election looks to be perhaps the closest in history.

That will likely spell a long, drawn out round of mail-in ballot counts and even recounts depending on the state.

If any of the seven battlegrounds are close, counting could drag on well into November 6 and beyond.

Fresh off her closing argument speech in Washington, Vice President Kamala Harris, 60, is heading out for a swing through three battleground states today.

She will start her packed day with a campaign rally in Raleigh, North Carolina, before heading to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.

The visit comes as two new polls by WRAL-TV and Elon University show the race in North Carolina tied. The latest Pennsylvania polling also shows the race in the Keystone State tied.

Trump, 78, will be hitting Rocky Mount, North Carolina, for a rally and then Green Bay, Wisconsin.

The vice president will wrap up her day in Madison, Wisconsin with a rally including musical performances from Gracie Abrams, Mumford & Sons, Remi Wolf, and Matt Berninger and Aaron Dessner from the National.

Donald Trump launched new allegations of ‘cheating’ Wednesday in the final days before Election Day. As he did in 2020, Trump raised questions about the integrity of the vote before most Americans go to the polls.

‘Pennsylvania is cheating, and getting caught, at large scale levels rarely seen before. REPORT CHEATING TO AUTHORITIES. Law Enforcement must act, NOW!’ Trump wrote Tuesday.

‘Stay in line, don’t let anyone turn you away and silence your voice. We need to make it TOO BIG TO RIG!’ Trump wrote in another post. ‘Law Enforcement is all over the GREAT Commonwealth of Pennsylvania looking at, and for, VOTER FRAUD!’ he wrote in another yesterday.

Trump has repeatedly warned at his rallies that rivals were going to ‘cheat,’ in a move that his rivals predict is a prelude to challenging election results that don’t go his way.

Jared Kushner has revealed whether Ivanka Trump will be helping her father's campaign for the presidential election with less than a week to go.

Ivanka, 43, previously said that she was stepping back from her father's political work to 'prioritize my children and the private life we are creating as a family', after skipping the launch of Donald Trump's 2024 campaign.

But with less than a week to go, and following the fallout of Trump's Madison Square Garden rally where a controversial comedian made a series of racist jokes that alienated Republicans and infuriated Democrats, she was asked whether she would join her father's cause to bolster him at the eleventh hour.

Donald Trump 'jumped' on a blonde 6' 1' pageant queen, 'grabbing her body everywhere' after inviting her up to a suite at his New York hotel for 'a private talk', the woman has claimed exclusively to DailyMail.com.

And it was only because of her height and strength that Beatrice Keul could fight off the former president, who is now hoping for a second term in the White House.

'I think my size saved me,' Keul said of the 1993 incident in the Plaza Hotel, which Trump owned at the time.

Keul, 53, is coming forward now because she discovered all the documentation for her trip from her home in Zurich, Switzerland sitting in a box when she prepared to move.

There has still been no official response From Kamala Harris' campaign in the wake of Joe Biden's 'garbage' gaffe.

When the president appeared to call Donald Trump supporters 'garbage' on Tuesday night it overshadowed his vice president's closing campaign event in Washington D.C.

The resulting furor torpedoed what the Harris campaign had expected to be blanket media coverage of her final argument against Trump.

While the White House has sought to downplay Biden's comment the Harris campaign has remained silent.

About 475 damaged ballots were retrieved from a ballot box that was burned early Monday in Vancouver, Washington, as police condemn the act as a 'direct attack on American democracy'.

Clark County Auditor Greg Kimsey said workers on Wednesday will begin searching through the damaged ballots for voter information in order to contact them about getting a new ballot.

He said officials believe that although damaged, the workers will be able to pull voter information from the ballots.

Donald Trump said President Joe Biden calling his supporters 'garbage' is worse than Hillary Clinton's 2016 'basket of deplorable' remarks.

Trump was speaking to thousands of fans gathered in Allentown, Pennsylvania , Tuesday evening with just seven days left to the election.

The 81-year-old commander-in-chief was responding to a comedian at Trump's Madison Square Garden rally on Sunday comparing Puerto Rico to a 'floating island of garbage.'

Biden said on a campaign zoom Tuesday night: 'The only garbage I see floating out there is his [Trump's] supporters.'

It immediately sparked backlash from MAGA fans, including Trump himself who addressed it in the middle of his rally.

'Wow, that's what [Biden] says… garbage. I think it's worse [than deplorables],' he fired back.

President Joe Biden overshadowed Vice President Kamala Harris' big 'closing' campaign speech by calling Donald Trump's supporters 'garbage' in an astonishing outburst.

The 81-year-old commander-in-chief's bombshell gaffe evoked memories of Hillary Clinton's infamous dismissal of Trump voters as 'deplorables' in 2016, which contributed to her shock defeat.

It came as Harris was hoping to capture the nation's full attention with a carefully planned rally in front of the White House for 75,000 Democrats one week before Election Day. Harris used the event on Tuesday night to make her final case, declaring she would be a unifying president 'for all Americans'.

Donald Trump and Kamala Harris are virtually tied in Michigan, according to a new poll released just six days until the 2024 presidential election.

A Suffolk/USA Today survey has Trump with a tiny 0.4 percentage point advantage over Vice President Kamala Harris – 47.4 percent to 47 percent.

Michigan is one of the seven swing states vital to clinching a victory on November 5. The others are Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

The results between the candidates are well within the Michigan poll’s 4.4 percentage point margin of error.

Of the 500 Michiganders surveyed in the latest, 1.4 percent still say they will cast their ballots for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. And the same percentage say they will vote for Green Oarty Candidate Jill Stein.

Senator Tim Scott told DailyMail.com that black male voters have been lied to by Democrats for years.

And that's why enthusiasm for Donald Trump among them has never been higher, he says.

With less than one week until Election Day, the South Carolina Republican has been traveling around the country attending events with black voters in swing states on behalf of the ex-president and Republican Senate candidates.

During his travels he frequently hears frustration from these men who express that they feel duped by the Democrats.

'What I hear oftentimes is that "the Democrats have a lied to us,"' Scott revealed to DailyMail.com.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz made rounds on morning news shows on Wednesday to do damage control after President Joe Biden called Donald Trump’s supporters ‘garbage.’

But the Democratic vice presidential nominee insisted that Biden’s botched response to the insulting comments does not under cut the party’s message of unity.

'You compared Trump supporters to Nazis. Biden called them "garbage." Hillary called them "deplorables." Doesn't that undercut your fake "unity" message?' CBS Mornings host Tony Dokoupil asked Walz.

The governor replied: 'No, certainly not.'

The whole debacle was sparked when a comedian at Trump’s Mardison Square Garden on Sinday called Puerto Rico a ‘floating pile of garbage,’ sparking ire from the Hispanic community as a whole.

But then Biden handed Republicans a huge assist in the matter when he said on Tuesday that ‘the only garbage I see floating out there is [Trump] supporters.’

Hours after being released from federal prison, Donald Trump's former chief strategist Steve Bannon said he had a warning for the Biden family: Pardon Hunter before he has to serve a sentence that could destroy him.

'I don't think Hunter Biden would last 48 hours in a federal prison,' he told DailyMail.com

'I think that it would be too much for him, particularly with his previous drug addiction.'

Poll aggregator Nate Silver has warned that Joe Biden is 'one of Kamala Harris' biggest impediments to victory' after the president referred to Donald Trump supporters as 'garbage'.

Silver, the founder of poll analytics site FiveThirtyEight, suggested that Biden will be largely responsible if the Democrat does not win the White House next week.

He claimed that Harris, 60, has done a 'pretty good job' at rallying support ahead of what could be one of the closest races in history, despite 'Biden doing everything possible to f**k it up'.
