DNC National Finance Committee member and Harris campaign fundraiser Lindy Li analyzed what went wrong with Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign that led to the "epic disaster" against President-elect Donald Trump this week. Li told Fox & Friends Weekend co-host Will Cain on Saturday that multiple factors doomed the campaign in her opinion, including Biden’s choice for Harris to be his successor, the Harris campaign’s overconfidence in their polling data, and former President Obama’s delay in endorsing the vice president as the Democratic candidate. "The truth is, this is just an epic disaster – this is a $1 billion disaster,"...

The 2024 presidential election continues to be one of the closest in history, with Donald Trump and Kamala Harris running neck-and-neck nationally and in the swing states. Who has the advantage going into the final few weeks of the race? New county-level polling out of Pennsylvania suggests it's the former president. According to a survey conducted by Cygnal and sponsored by The Daily Wire, Trump leads in the bellwether counties of Erie and Northampton. Those were won by the overall winner of the 2008, 2012, 2016, and 2020 elections, making them crucial battlegrounds in what is already the most important...

A significant red wave is looking to hit the historically blue state of Pennsylvania as more and more voters shift to identify as Republican. Less than a month before the 2024 election, Democrats are losing ground in swing states needed to secure the White House win. Following President Joe Biden’s exit from the race, Democrats have relied heavily on enthusiasm to take them to victory at the polls. However, that “enthusiasm” has died down significantly for them. Considered to be a must-win state for Harris, polls show the odds of her securing enough votes are diminishing. In 2020, Biden won...

We are less than 50 days from Election Day and with thousands of New Yorkers packing out Nassau Coliseum on Long Island on Wednesday to see Donald Trump speak, all eyes are on New York. Why New York? Weak, corrupt, incompetent and inept leaders have passed law after law that have made life less safe and affordable. New York continues to lead the nation in out-migration because pro-criminal, high-tax and sanctuary policies have forced countless New Yorkers to seek refuge in other states. Many have reached their breaking point but have found hope in the New Yorker running at the...

Sen. Mitt Romney’s (R-Utah) announcement this week that he would not seek re-election won’t change the 2024 Senate math for Republicans — who are as bullish as ever about a red run. In contrast to their beating in the 2022 midterm elections — the GOP is insisting that 2024 will be a better year. In November, the GOP lost a seat in Pennsylvania and failed to pick up any new ones, leaving it two votes shy of taking the majority.Party leaders say the 2024 map — when 33 seats are up for grabs — offers uniquely rosy prospects. “We are...

Senator Tim Scott spoke recently about anticipating a red wave in 2024. I personally don't want to hear it until there is more understanding about the red trickle in 2022. I have not seen legitimate root cause analysis about 2022 from conservatives. RNC leadership remain in place, sipping expensive champagne, eating lobster and filet. I have not seen any serious discussion about what exactly went wrong. Who had the best prediction in 2022? Hold on to your electronic device: Nancy Pelosi. I can't believe I just typed her name. She was pretty confident she was going to hold the House...

*snip* In the midst of a terrible economy and a crime wave, Democrats were boosted by a demographic least likely to share adult concerns about the economy, schools and public safety, and most likely to be animated by phantom ideological narratives about social justice, abortion and global warming. Democrats enjoyed the highest turnout for younger voters in a generation with a 31% turnout. Especially in Pennsylvania, Georgia and Michigan. That doesn’t just happen. Rock the Vote, which claims to be nonpartisan and can only operate only on the condition of not expressing a party preference, published an officially branded table,...

I don’t trust the results of the midterms. I suspect I will not be confident in election outcomes until verified citizens must sign-up during a short registration period immediately before elections and the voting only takes place at the polls on Election Day. It could be a long wait. The reports and common-sense indications of fraud are everywhere. Mail-in ballots are, once again, the primary suspect but voting machines and corrupt officials seem to be implicated as well. Anecdotally, Kari Lake was up by 10 points in the run-up to the Arizona Governor’s race. She ended up losing by a...

With the failure of the Republican Party to achieve a red wave in the midterm elections, many explanations — and accusations — are being bandied about. Blame is attributed to abortion, Trump endorsements, election integrity, and voter fraud, and the shifting of millions of votes to Democrats by Google, Facebook, and other tech monopolies.Marketing expert Mark Beal from the Rutgers University School of Communication and Information believes there is still another factor in the election that is being overlooked: the impact of Generation Z. An expert on this group (born between 1997 and 2012), Beal says they will wield increasing...

Patriot groups in Arizona are rallying to push for a new election on December 6, 2022, and so far 4 counties have said they will hold off on certifying the election results they have been given. Kari Lake recently made a lengthy statement about the status of the election results. There were serious issues in Maricopa County on November 8. Due to the incompetence of Maricopa County and Katie Hobbs, tabulators were down, printers ran out of ink, and long, long lines kept Republican voters waiting to cast their ballots. Republican voters were told to drop their ballots into a...

A recurring topic of discussion among some three hundred people from all over America who gathered to listen to and discuss presentations by U.S. national security experts after the November 8th election revolved around disbelief that the anticipated red tsunami appeared to have dissipated into a ripple. While some observed that “a near majority of Americans seem to have lost their common sense and moral integrity,” others expressed it this way: “Fools vote for fools, crooks vote for crooks, and dishonest people vote for dishonest representatives.” While these observations offer insight, there is clearly more going on. Many Americans have...

Representative Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Deadline” that the January 6 House Select Committee helped stop the red wave in the 2022 midterms. Anchor Nicolle Wallace said, “The GOP now in disarray. McConnell just beat back a challenge from Senator Rick Scott to be minority leader, and Kevin McCarthy faced a challenge as well as he’s pursuing the speakership. All while the disgraced ex-president announced a bid again to run for 2024. Adam Kinzinger, in a new op-ed, writes, ‘Trump has proven him woefully unfit to hold the office that he sullied and shown he can’t be trusted...

For months leading up to the midterm elections, Mark had been imploring his audience on TV and radio to ignore talk of the red wave. The most important thing to do was vote and ignore the static from the pundits. Watch as Mark breaks down the numbers and statistics about why a red wave was unlikely in 2022, but why the numbers help him hold out hope for 2024. Did you catch red wave fever? Did you vote?

Mark Levin is optimistic and makes a fantastic point... https://youtu.be/5fhkvbocrmk

Tom Peters, a management guru of the late 20th century, coined the memorable quote “under-promise—over-deliver.” His advice constitutes a well-known business strategy aimed at maintaining, extending, and satisfying a company’s customer base. In under-promising, but over-delivering, businesses can satisfy their customers who would be pleasantly surprised and grateful that they gained more than they expected. Peters’ quote is also capable of explaining political developments, including the lacklustre performance of the Republicans in the United States midterm elections. For many months now, media commentators and politicians have been predicting a landslide Republican victory in Congressional elections—a red wave no less—which would...

It is estimated that 100,000 people leave the state of Illinois every year. It is difficult to know exactly what this means, as people move in as well as move out, and many of the incoming are either illegal immigrants or illegal aliens. But one thing is certain: the hundred thousand who depart each year are workers, employers, taxpayers. The very people you need for not only a functioning economy but also a functioning republic. For an electoral process to work, for it to produce elected officials with the right mentality to run the government in a fashion conducive to...

They’re becoming an endangered species — moderate Democrats in New York. Republican candidates rolled over veteran left-center Democratic legislators like bowling pins in Tuesday’s downstate races. They were virtually annihilated in southern Brooklyn. GOP candidate Lester Chang — who ran against bail reform and championed merit-based education and school choice — toppled 36-year veteran Assemblyman Peter Abbate in the 49th District Bensonhurst/Borough Park/Sunset Park. “I went door to door and asked voters, ‘Are you better off than you were two years ago?'” Chang said.

The cable news experts keep repeating their new mantra of division, claiming Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is now set up to take out President Trump for 2024. Consider where this information is coming from and what their motivations might be, before you buy into it in the slightest. If Governor DeSantis does in fact wants to be president some day, he should be willing to express his gratitude to President Trump for getting him over the line in 2018. Instead, many DeSantis backers are echoing the sentiments of CNN this week. It’s an unnecessary distraction. The Make America Great Again...
