Would like to point out that Donald Trump invited conspiracy-peddling bigot and 9/11 truther Laura Loomer to an event this past week commemorating the terrorist attacks.
But Laura Loomer’s news blitz doesn’t end there.
She recently tweeted that if Kamala Harris was elected, the White House would smell like “curry”. This caused an outrage among liberals and conservatives alike. Even Marjorie Taylor Greene said that comment was “extremely racist”.

NYT News Quiz time!
My score: 10/11 – got question #7 wrong
In other news, Taylor Swift endorsed Kamala Harris. A peek at Swift's favorability ratings among members of political affiliations from a NYT/Philadelphia Inquirer/Siena College poll:
The vice president is single-handedly the most-coveted job in politics that does the least amount of actual work. So why is it truly important?
Tim Walz, the Democratic VP nominee, is anchoring the campaign’s masculine side. A success tonight means the campaign could gain with male supporters who live in rural and suburban areas.
JD Vance, a lawyer and author by trade, will need to use his Yale-acquired debate skills to trample Walz.
You can have your reservations about Vance and his policies, but there’s no doubt that he’s a good debater. He’s young, smart, and a Yale Law School grad.
The debate was steady and surprisingly civil until the last topic of the night: the 2020 election and January 6th. Vance refused to concede that Trump lost the election and it looked bad on his part.
Besides that, Vance was polished and Walz succumbed to the occasional verbal stutter.
Vance came across well, but if you actually listened to what he said, you’d find that he would never answer a question and would always pivot.
I think it was quite even–there was no clear winner. Snap polls support that: most were 50/50 or 51/49 for one candidate or the other.
If you are right about NV and ME-02, but wrong about NC, then only NE-02 stands in the way of a Trump / Walz administration. What a party that would be.
It is very likely, I think Harris voters are the “silent majority”. I saw that Harris’s campaign got insane funding in a short amount of time, I’m pretty sure.
Fundraising is fundraising but these elections come down to seven states: Arizona, Nevada, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Georgia. Whoever wins those states wins the election. And the polls for those states are looking very, very, very tight.
I’ve been very adamant on this point with my friends and classmates. I don’t believe in the democrat “silent majority,” I believe in the democrat youth majority. All those political surveys can’t really capture the numbers and leaning of first-time voters, and we all remember Gen Z rising up to stem the prophesized 2022 “Red Wave.”
And, to add to that, those are the voters for whom it matters a great deal that Biden isn’t the nominee. Polls showed a swing from Trump to Harris when the nominee changed, but they wouldn’t also show that surge of previously unregistered/unlikely voters who are now registered and/or likely Harris voters.
Of course, if Harris still loses Michigan by the margin of Dearborn, that will not shock me and it will be entirely deserved.
