Election polls live updates: Trump surges to early voting lead in battleground state

Republicans have an early lead over Democrats in early voting in the battleground state of Nevada.

About 700,000 people, half of the state’s expected voters, have already cast their ballots.

Registered Republicans have a lead of 40,000, or 5.7 percent, over registered Democrats.

Jon Ralston, editor of the Nevada Independent, said:

This is a unicorn year. We have never seen this. There is still plenty of time, but Republicans have reason to be confident in this unprecedented pattern of turnout.”

Kamala Harris’ rally in Michigan fell into a moment of awkward silence Monday after an unexpected request from the Democratic candidate.

The vice president was making her final stop in Ann Arbor with a packed rally in the college town alongside her running mate Tim Walz and singer Maggie Rogers.

At one point during his speech, the crowd began rhythmically chanting his name – ‘Ka-ma-la, Ka-ma-la, Ka-ma-la’ – when Harris made a feeble attempt to change the situation.

‘Now I want each of you to shout your own name. Do that,” Harris said with a laugh. “Because it’s about all of us.”

A few people began to murmur, but the vast majority of the crowd fell silent in confusion, lowering signs and looking around.

The vice president quickly recovered and continued her speech: “I have fought my entire career to put people first.”

Steve Bannon, a former ally of Donald Trump, was released from prison today after serving a four-month sentence for defying a subpoena in the Congressional investigation into the attack on the US Capitol on January 6, 2021.

Bannon, Trump’s former chief strategist, left the Federal Correctional Institution in Danbury, Connecticut, this morning and was greeted by his daughter Maureen, according to The National Pulse.

Maureen confirmed her father’s release by reposting the National Pulse report on the X social media platform.

He is scheduled to hold a press conference later that day in Manhattan and is also expected to resume his podcast today.

The radio host and political firebrand was Trump’s campaign manager in the final stages of the 2016 election, having risen from his position at Breitbart to become one of the most influential voices on the right.

Bannon joined Trump in the White House but fell out with him in spectacular fashion and turned against Trump, but was ultimately pardoned by the former president on the eve of his departure from the White House for loyally insisting that the election was stolen.

Joe Rogan has revealed that Kamala Harris agreed to appear on his podcast, but rejected the conditions suggested by his team.

Rogan, who recently had a three-hour meeting with Republican candidate Donald Trump, says the Harris campaign offered to interview the vice president on Tuesday, but it would require him to “travel to her” and “I only wanted to do it for an hour.” ‘.

“I firmly believe that the best way to do it is in the studio in Austin,” he revealed Monday night on

Liberals urged Harris to sit down with Rogan after it emerged that Trump’s interview with the podcaster racked up a staggering 17 million views on YouTube in less than 24 hours.

By comparison, Harris’ appearance on the Call her Daddy podcast with Alex Cooper has logged just 685,000 views in the two weeks since it was posted.

After the dramatic shakeup at the top of the Democratic presidential ticket, Democrats are increasingly confident in their ability to hold the White House and the Senate and flip the House with Kamala Harris as their presidential candidate.

But two congressional districts could help decide the fate of the country not only at the top of the candidates’ list in November, but also in both chambers of Congress: Pennsylvania’s 8th congressional district and Nebraska’s 2nd congressional district.

The argument for looking at these two districts to see where the election is headed was first made by former New York congressman and chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, Steve Israel.

He wrote in June that “when the dust settles, the only information you will need to conclude who won the 2024 election will be the results from Pennsylvania’s 8th Congressional District and Nebraska’s 2nd.” For the next five months, they will be the center of the political universe.”

While the top of the Democratic presidential ticket has changed, the importance of both districts has not.

Voters in Michigan are leaning toward Donald Trump with just a week left until Election Day.

Among 1,000 likely voters in the critical swing state, 49 percent say they would vote for Trump compared to 48.3 percent who would vote for Vice President Kamala Harris.

It is also the first time Trump has moved ahead of Harris since July, when she took President Joe Biden’s place at the top of the Democratic presidential ticket.

Regardless of who they support or vote for, respondents were asked who they expected to win on November 5.

Fifty percent say they believe Harris will win and 49 percent say they believe the former president will win another term.

Former President Trump on Monday denied being a Nazi, a day after holding a controversial rally at Madison Square Garden where speakers used crude and racist language.

Even before the event, critics including Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris’ running mate Tim Walz compared it to a 1939 rally by Nazi sympathizers at the same location.

‘I’m not a Nazi. “I’m the opposite of a Nazi,” Trump told thousands of supporters at Georgia Tech.

“Now the way they talk is so disgusting and just horrible.”

Trump spent the day in the crucial swing state of Georgia, a day after entertaining supporters in New York.

The state’s religious leaders prayed for him in an emotional moment earlier in the day before gathering a rowdy MAGA crowd.
