On Wednesday, Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump are concentrating their efforts on two crucial swing states: Georgia and Pennsylvania.

During a town hall event in Delaware County, Pennsylvania, Harris will engage with voters, with CNN’s Anderson Cooper serving as the moderator.

On the other hand, Trump has scheduled several events in Georgia today, which includes a town hall emphasizing faith in Zebulon, along with a rally in Duluth.

The outcomes in Georgia and Pennsylvania could very well determine the victor in the upcoming presidential election on November 5. While President Joe Biden secured these states in 2020, Trump had claimed victory there in 2016.

Do you have confidence in the vote count?

Recent polling from YSL News/Suffolk University indicates that the stress surrounding Election Day might persist beyond the date itself. Voters, split between Democrat Kamala Harris and Republican Donald Trump, express worries over the vote count accuracy, the peaceful transfer of power, and the potential for political violence.

Approximately 80% of voters trust the electoral process, with many indicating they were either “very” confident (43%) or “somewhat” confident (36%) in the accurate counting and reporting of election results.

Support for the vote count trust was more prevalent among Harris’s supporters compared to those backing Trump. Among Harris voters, 70% expressed strong confidence while an additional 25% were somewhat confident, leaving just 4% unconvinced.

In stark contrast, 34% of Trump supporters reported a lack of confidence in the count. Trump’s persistent claims without evidence that the 2020 election was “rigged” have contributed to these uncertainties.

Biden Calls for ‘Lock Him Up,’ Portraying Trump as a Threat

President Joe Biden made a strong statement regarding Donald Trump on Tuesday, indicating that it might be time to “lock him up” – at least from a political standpoint.

In remarks to campaign volunteers in New Hampshire, Biden suggested that Trump believes a recent Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity gives him the right to physically eliminate anyone he perceives as a threat.

“If I had said this five years ago, I would have been locked up,” Biden stated during his visit to the New Hampshire Democratic Headquarters in Concord. “We need to lock him up.”

He added a moment later: “Lock him up politically. Lock him out. That’s what we must do.”

The Trump campaign’s spokesperson, Karoline Leavitt, condemned Biden’s comments, stating, “Joe Biden has just revealed the truth: He and Kamala’s strategy all along has been to politically target their opponent President Trump because they cannot defeat him in a fair fight.”

Obama Performs Eminem’s Iconic ‘Lose Yourself’ at Kamala Harris Rally

At a campaign rally for Kamala Harris in Michigan on Tuesday, former President Barack Obama entertained the crowd by rapping Eminem’s famous 2002 song “Lose Yourself” after the Grammy-winning artist introduced him.

“I’ve hosted many rallies, so nerves usually don’t get to me. But I was feeling a bit anxious after Eminem’s performance,” Obama remarked as he addressed the audience in Detroit.

He humorously began rapping, saying: “Now, I notice my palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy, vomit on my sweater already, mom’s spaghetti, I’m nervous but on the surface I look calm and ready to drop bombs but I keep on forgetting,” which elicited enthusiastic cheers from attendees.

Court directs Army to make records public from Trump’s visit at Arlington National Cemetery

A federal judge issued an order on Tuesday requiring Army officials to disclose internal documents regarding former President Donald Trump’s contentious visit to Arlington National Cemetery in August by the week’s end.

Judge Paul Friedman’s decision followed a lawsuit from American Oversight, a non-partisan organization focused on transparency in government.

“With the election only two weeks away, the American public has a strong interest in understanding how the government handled an alleged incident involving a prominent presidential candidate known for politicizing military matters,” remarked Chioma Chukwu, the interim executive director of the organization.

The judge’s ruling is related to Trump’s visit on August 26 to the cemetery, where he participated in a wreath-laying ceremony honoring 13 soldiers who died in Afghanistan during the tumultuous U.S. withdrawal.

An official from the cemetery attempted to uphold regulations against political activities at the site and was allegedly “roughly moved aside” by Trump’s staff, according to an Army statement. The cemetery official contacted law enforcement but chose not to file any charges eventually.

Are podcasts effectively reaching audiences for Harris and Trump?

Podcast appearances by Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump might not be yielding the desired effect for their campaigns.

A recent exclusive YSL News/Suffolk University poll indicated that a large portion of participants had not tuned into the podcasts, which are considered significant for both campaigns. The survey questioned 1,000 likely voters about whether they had seen Harris on podcasts like “Call Her Daddy” or “All the Smoke,” and whether they had observed Trump on “This Past Weekend with Theo Von” or “Flagrant 2.”

Approximately 72% of respondents stated they had not seen Harris on a podcast, while 77.5% said they had not seen Trump on one either.

Trump’s campaign accuses UK Labour Party of ‘obvious foreign interference’

The campaign of former President Donald Trump lodged a legal complaint late Tuesday against the Labour Party, the ruling party in the UK, claiming it is engaging in “obvious foreign interference” just ahead of the November 5 presidential election.

This complaint was formally submitted in a letter from Trump campaign attorney Gary Lawkowski to the Federal Election Commission. The claims followed a senior Labour Party member’s public admission that nearly 100 current and former Labour staff members were traveling to the U.S. to support Vice President Kamala Harris and the Democrats in crucial swing states.

Judge directs Giuliani to forfeit Manhattan apartment to election workers he maligned. (The World Series rings remain safe.)

Rudy Giuliani – or more precisely, his son Andrew – will retain possession of his three World Series rings, at least for the time being.

U.S. District Judge Lewis Liman mandated on Tuesday that Giuliani must give up his property to fulfill a $145 million civil judgment for defaming two Georgia election workers following the 2020 election by falsely accusing them of tampering with ballot boxes.

The contested items include a luxury apartment on Madison Avenue in New York and a $2 million legal fee claim against former President Donald Trump and the Republican National Committee.

Giuliani is liable for a $146 million judgment owed to Georgia election workers Ruby Freeman and her daughter, Shaye Moss, after he, while acting as Trump’s election attorney, made unfounded comparisons of them to drug dealers and falsely alleged they brought in “suitcases” of illicit ballots to a counting center, resulting in them facing months of death threats.
