• Joe Rogan and Nikki Haley endorse Trump: Just in time, Donald Trump has received two significant endorsements. His former Republican primary opponent, Nikki Haley, finally spurned the overtures of turncoats like Liz Cheney and threw her support behind Trump. In a Wall Street Journal op-ed, Haley wrote, “For those of us clear-eyed enough to see Mr. Trump’s flaws and honest enough to acknowledge them, the question is whether we’re better off with his policies or his opponent’s. On taxes, spending, inflation, immigration, energy, and national security, the candidates are miles apart. And Mr. Trump is clearly the better choice.” Also endorsing Trump is the nation’s most popular podcaster, Joe Rogan, who posted a message on X following his latest interview with billionaire Elon Musk: “If it wasn’t for [Musk] we’d be [screwed]. He makes what I think is the most compelling case for Trump you’ll hear, and I agree with him every step of the way. For the record, yes, that’s an endorsement of Trump. Enjoy the podcast.” Both endorsements show momentum for Trump.

• Megyn Kelly makes up with Trump: Throughout his political career, Donald Trump has demonstrated the ability to mend fences. Take JD Vance, for example, who went from being a harsh critic of Trump to being his running mate. Or take Georgia Governor Brian Kemp, who’s been campaigning for Trump this cycle after having sparred with him over allegations of electoral fraud in the Peach State. Or take mega-podcaster Joe Rogan, whose frosty relationship with Trump was well known but who last night made an eleventh-hour endorsement of the former president. Or take conservative talker Megyn Kelly, who Trump called “nasty,” among other things, in 2015, but who last night stepped on stage with him to offer this full-throated endorsement: “He got mocked by the left for saying he would be the protector of women. He will be a protector of women. And it’s why I’m voting for him. … I’m not into their version of toxic masculinity or new masculinity. I prefer the old version. … And I prefer a president who knows how to be strong and how to fight. I hope all of you do what I did last week: Vote Trump and get 10 friends to vote Trump, too.”

• Unity, she snarled: In the days leading up to Election Day 2024, Kamala Harris treated Joe Biden like a leper. But one page she seems to have taken from the Biden book is his dogged pursuit of Unity™ across the country, especially among those Americans who didn’t vote for him. So too with Kamala, who, as The Washington Post reports, “used her campaign stops in Michigan on Sunday to reiterate her message that she would be a president for all Americans by inviting those who disagree with her to the table, while Republican nominee Donald Trump doubled down on portraying a dystopian future for the country that he claimed only he could fix.” But as Breitbart reminds us, Harris wants to “turn the page” from calling Trump “a petty tyrant,” “unstable,” “obsessed with revenge,” “consumed with grievance,” and “out for unchecked power.” Indeed, she wants to turn the page from calling Trump a “fascist” and a “threat to democracy,” and from her surrogates calling his supporters “anti-American” and “garbage.” We must say, she’s got chutzpah.

• Harris remains mum on what she supports: Kamala Harris is the candidate who never won a primary and yet may be mere hours away from being elected the next president of the United States. She has effectively run a campaign of hiding rather than sharing her policy agenda from the American public. As Leftmedia outlet Axios recently reported, “Harris is the ‘no comment’ candidate — purposely and strategically. She has calculated that it’s safer to be vague on policy matters than lampooned as a flip-flopper or left-winger.” So, what does Harris support? Does she still support executive action to grant citizenship status to two million Dreamers? Ending the death penalty at the federal level? Mandating that automakers make only EVs by 2030? Decriminalizing prostitution? Providing reparations to blacks? Giving voting rights to all felons? Installing climate change envoys in U.S. embassies across the world? These are but a few of the radical leftist policies that Harris has previously promoted, but thanks to a legacy media that’s been in the tank for the Democrats, she has not been pressed on those issues.

• Georgia ballot win: The Georgia Supreme Court ruled on Monday that absentee ballots that are not received by today, Election Day, will not be counted. This decision overturns a lower-court judge’s ruling extending the deadline for mail-in ballots to November 8. This decision will impact at least 3,000 ballots. RNC Chairman Michael Whatley praised the decision, calling it a “huge election integrity victory” as he explained, “Democrat-run Cobb County wanted to accept 3,000 absentee ballots AFTER the Election Day deadline.” These roughly 3,000 ballots that come in after 7 PM today will be set aside and not counted. The court’s decision “does not pertain to voters entitled to vote under the federal Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act,” which mainly applies to military members overseas.

• Riley Gaines has a voting message for men: Our nation’s most impressive fighter for women’s rights in sports took a brief break from the transgender war to issue an Election Day message to Americans of the opposite sex. “My message to the men,” she posted, “They can call you a Nazi. They can call you deplorable. They can call you garbage. But don’t give them the pleasure of calling you the beta man who didn’t get out and vote.” By “beta man,” she’s taking a swipe at the sitzpinklers, the wussy White Dudes for Harris. “But for real men,” she added, “Donald Trump took a bullet for you. The least you could do is vote for the man. Vote like your country was taken from you because it was. We need you men to go out and vote to make America affordable again, to make America safe again, to make America healthy again. To make America great again.” Much has been made of the gender gap that Trump has with women voters, but Harris’s gender gap with men is often bigger. If Kamala Harris loses, it will be in part because her party long ago lost the male vote.

• Ranked-choice voting could cost Dems the House: The dubious and blatantly unfair ranked-choice voting (RCV) scheme may come back to bite Democrats and could even cost them majority control of the House. In Alaska, Democrat incumbent Representative Mary Peltola “won” her seat in the 2022 midterm election thanks to RCV despite the fact that she came in third in first-round voting. Chalk it up to karma if RCV costs her this time. Peltola has to contend with not just Republican challenger Nick Begich and Independence Party candidate John Wayne Howe but another Democrat candidate, Eric Hafner. Hafner is not a resident of Alaska and is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence in New York, but he’s on the ballot. As Phil Izon, who is heading the effort to pass Measure 2 to eliminate RCV in Alaska, points out, “The Democrats in Alaska say they like ranked-choice voting and jungle primaries, but they actually sued to kick this guy off the ballot.” Begich leads Peltola by four points in the latest polling, with Hafner getting 2% of the vote. A Begich win could be the deciding outcome that ensures Republicans retain control of the House. Furthermore, Alaskans could also vote to end their dalliance with RCV.

• They spent more than $2 billion to stop Trump: Donald Trump is on the verge of completing the most remarkable comeback in American political history. As the Wall Street Journal’s Bill McGurn asks, “What other man could survive two impeachments, a congressional committee investigation stacked against him, two special prosecutors, dozens of state and federal felony indictments and opposition from a significant chunk of his own party, including his former vice president and a chief of staff?” McGurn, though, fails to mention the woefully biased network news media, which gave him 85% negative press coverage while giving Kamala Harris the kid-gloves treatment, with 78% positive coverage. Nor did McGurn mention the money cannon that’s been trained on Trump. Harris’s campaign and her allies spent more than $2.1 billion against Trump — a sum that still doesn’t include some Democrat spending. To get a sense of the kind of spending Donald Trump has been up against, get a load of this bubble chart.
