Donald Trump Speaking to reporters after casting his ballot in Florida, he was asked about the possibility that neither he nor he Kamala Harris could reach 270 electoral votes by the end of tonight.

“Something like this should never happen,” says the Republican presidential candidate. Trump says he wants to “involve everyone, we want to be very inclusive.”

Trump says he is “very confident,” adding that it appears Republicans have “showed up in force.” “I hear we are doing very well,” he says.

Donald Trump has arrived to vote with his wife in Palm Beach, Florida, Melania.

He told reporters he is “very honored” to find the lines are long. “This is the best campaign we have run,” he said.

His opponent, Kamala Harriscast her vote by mail to California.

The FBI has warned Americans that two new fake videos featuring the agency’s name and insignia are “being misused to promote false narratives surrounding the election.”

In a statement Tuesday, the law enforcement agency said it was aware of a “fabricated news clip purporting to be a terrorist alert issued by the FBI” urging Americans to “vote remotely,” citing a high terror threat at polling stations.

The second video contains a fabricated press release from the FBI claiming that “five prisons in Pennsylvania, Georgia and Arizona rigged inmate ballots and conspired with a political party,” according to the FBI.

Both videos are not authentic, the agency warned, adding that “election integrity is one of our highest priorities.”

“Efforts to mislead the public with false content about FBI threat assessments and activities aim to undermine our democratic process and erode confidence in the electoral system,” it added.

With recent election polls showing a dead heat – or a narrow win ahead Donald Trump or Kamala Harris within the statistical margin of error – seven swing states will almost certainly decide the race.

As pollsters scramble to make sense of these results amid questions about reliability given poor calls on support for Trump in 2016 and 2020, analysts are taking an even more granular approach to interpreting battleground voters, focusing on a handful of provinces in these hotly contested provinces. regions.

They are often referred to as ‘bellwether counties’. This essentially means that there are counties that could tip the scales in determining the outcome of a swing state.

These are the countries that analysts – ranging from seasoned election observers to Wall Street financiers – are focusing on.

Reporting from Scottsdale, Arizona:

Political signs littered the roadside entrance to a busy polling place in Scottsdale, Arizona, and even more signs were placed as voters arrived in the early morning hours to form a landline — a visual representation of how coveted this voters are for races up and down the road. mood.

At the Indiana polling place in Bend Wash, Republicans in Trump hats and shirts stood outside talking to voters, while Democrats handed out a voter guide to people walking to the line.

Turning Point USA released a bright pink party bus with “Trump Train” signs on it, which will be used to take voters to other polling places in Scottsdale if lines get too long today. The group also put up signs imploring voters to stay in line: “Stay in line, don’t leave your country behind,” one sign read.

A man also collected autographs for America Pac, Elon Musk‘s group that pays circulators to sign up other people who could win a $1 million prize. “Elon Musk needs our help,” the man told a voter.

We spoke here with voters who chose Donald Trump, Kamala Harris or no one. Jesse Torrez, a 67-year-old independent, voted for Harris both because of her ideology and because he said Trump had no character whatsoever. “I think about my grandchildren and what they will face in the future, but I just don’t have confidence in the Republican nominee’s leadership or ability to lead this country. He proved that to me,” Torrez said.

Jessica Mendoza, 35, voted for Trump. “I have two children and I really just want to see a change for them and a better future,” she said. “We are also Christians, so we also voted with our morals.”

Vice President Kamala Harris also joined the Big K Morning Show with Larry Richert on NewsRadio KDKA in Pittsburgh this morning.

Harris discussed the economy, immigration, the divide within the country and more.

At one point, Harris said that if elected, her first order of business would be “to lower the cost of living for people.”

“I have a package of plans to address that,” she added. “Everything from what we need to do, for example, to create a national ban on corporate grocery price gouging for the first time, to what we can do around tax breaks for young families, tax credits and support for small businesses, including what we can do around a down payment assistance of $25,000 for first-time homebuyers.”

When asked about her plans for Election Day, Harris said she will watch the results tonight at her alma mater, Howard University.

Before that, she will have dinner with her family, she said, noting that many relatives are staying with her.

Harris stated that she will be talking to voters all day today and encouraging them to make sure they vote.

Will Joe Rogan’s endorsement make a difference?

Sam Wolfson

Joe Rogan tends to present himself as receptive and open-minded. He endorsed Bernie Sanders in 2016, Joe Biden in 2020, and for much of this election he was the most open to RFK Jr.’s ideas.

Now the most popular podcaster in history has decided to support Donald Trump. But how much difference will it make?

In May, New York Times/Siena College pollsters analyzed their data to see the top predictors of why a voter who supported Joe Biden in 2020 could defect to the Republicans in 2024. They found that the No. 1 predictor was whether the voter was born in the Middle East, reflecting the Democrats’ position on the war in Gaza. The No. 2 predictor was whether they had a positive view of Rogan. (Similar polls have not been conducted since Harris became the Democratic nominee.)

Research from the Young Men Research Initiative from July also shows that the timing of the approval – after a three-hour conversation with Elon Musk – could be important. 36% of the young men they surveyed said they liked and generally trusted “the opinion of” Rogan. Musk ranked even higher in the group, with 45% saying they liked and trusted him.

Musk appeared on Rogan’s podcast yesterday to promote conspiracy theories about the Democratic party in an attempt to convince Rogan to vote for Trump. He repeated a version of the “great replacement” theory that if the Democrats win the election, Harris will “legalize enough illegals” that there will “never be a real election in the US again.” He said “illegal immigrants are literally being flown into swing states.”

It’s not clear how influential such a late approval will be, but there’s likely a group of men outside of traditional news sources for whom Musk’s falsehoods — and Trump’s appearance on the podcast last week — could hold the key are up to their decision.
