Trump, with a side of fries
A PA early ballot count update. 🤓
🤷🏻 Donald Trump acknowledged Sunday he did not have evidence to back up his claims about Haitian migrants In Springfield, Ohio eating cats and dogs. “I don’t know if it’s true or not true. I read something” Trump said on Fox News during an interview with Howard Kurtz. “I don’t know, Howie, Howie, Howie, I have no idea … Why don’t you go after the newspaper that wrote it? Don’t blame me.” LINK
🎂 Kamala Harris, who turned 60 on Sunday, appeared at two worship services in metro Atlanta, in which a pastor told congregants, “It takes a real man to support a real woman.” The remark was a gentle nod at the yawning gender gap defining the 2024 presidential race. LINK … Harris also said in an interview set to air on MSNBC that polling showing a softening in support among Black voters, particularly Black men, “is just not panning out in reality,” because she said she had about 10,000 people at a rally in Atlanta over the weekend.
🍔 Trump appeared at a McDonald’s in suburban Philadelphia for 15 minutes, where he cooked batches of french fries and handed them out to customers in the drive through-window as thousands gathered outside to catch a peek. The former president claimed it was a job he had wanted to do all his life, “because she didn’t do it.” His visit to the fast-food titan was an irresistible media play meant to counter Harris’ prior employment at the vaunted American chain, which Trump has accused her of fabricating without evidence. LINK … VIDEO HERE… A fundraising email soon followed: “I am the first and only 2024 presidential presidential nominee to work at McDonald’s … Under the Trump administration, you won’t have to break the bank for your favorite meal.”
📊 No new battleground state polls dropped Sunday, which is surprising given there are just 16 days until Election Day. An AtlasIntel survey (rated 2.7 out of ⭐ ⭐ ⭐) found Trump up 3 points nationally, a result that is rattling the nerves of some Democrats even as it presents as an outlier.
🔔 In PENNSYLVANIA, where Trump is campaigning on Sunday and Harris will stump on Monday, 790,000 ballots have already been cast. Democrats have a ballot lead of 294,000, but analysts believe they will need to increase their early ballot return advantage to nearly 500,000 in order to build a big enough firewall to survive the Election Day surge of Republican ballots.
