Trump, Harris sprint to the finish line with less than 24 hours before Election Day

Vice President Kamala Harris's campaign said it could take several days to determine the final result of the presidential election.

Harris campaign chair Jen O’Malley Dillon told reporters that the race is still “incredibly close.”

“So, we may not know the results of this election for several days, but we are very focused on staying calm and confident throughout this period as the process goes through," she said. "And we really know that we as a campaign have a really important role to play in keeping people calm and communicating and being transparent about our process.”

She said the campaign expects “near complete” results from Georgia, North Carolina and Michigan and “partial results” from Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Arizona by Tuesday night, The Hill reported.

More results from Wisconsin and additional results from Pennsylvania and Michigan should be available by Wednesday, she added. After Wednesday, the campaign expects “additional results” from Pennsylvania, Arizona and Nevada.

O’Malley Dillon noted that ballots will be counted for several days.

The Washington D.C. National Guard has been authorized to assist local authorities starting on Election Day ahead of Tuesday's election, Pentagon spokesperson Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder said on Monday.

“Secretary Austin approved a request last week from the District of Columbia for DC National Guard troops to support the DC Fire and Emergency Medical Services from November 5th through 13,” Ruder told reporters.

He added that 60 Guard members from six states have been activated by their state governors for election support, with roughly another 600 from 17 states on standby if needed.

Whoopi Goldberg floated the idea Monday of former Rep. Liz Cheney serving as U.S. attorney general under Vice President Kamala Harris should she win the presidency.

Cheney appeared on “The View” where Goldberg, a critic of former President Trump, asked her if she was also a lawyer.

“You could conceivably be a great AG,” said Goldberg. “I say this because your moral core is magnificent.”

Goldberg said she would “feel a lot better” with Cheney leading the FBI and other federal law enforcement agencies.

“I'm just saying. Should it be floated, just think about it,” said Goldberg.

Cheney responded, saying “we have to get Vice President Harris elected.”

Cheney has been a vocal critic of Trump following the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol riot, which she said he incited in an effort to overturn his 2020 election loss.

Last week, Trump called her a war hawk who pushed for conflict for the safety of Washington.

The editor of an online news site in Nevada is predicting Kamala Harris to carry the swing state.

Jon Ralston of The Nevada Independent said Harris will squeak out a win against former President Trump by a 48.5% to 48.2% margin in what he called a unicorn election because of the unusual voting patterns.

New numbers released last week in Nevada showed that Republicans had virtually erased the Democrat voter-registration lead, on top of historic early-voting numbers for Republicans.

Figures released by the Nevada Secretary of State on Friday showed that Democrats held a 9,200-vote lead in registrations over Republicans after October data was added. Four years ago, Democrats held an advantage of roughly 86,000 votes heading into Election Day.

“There are a lot of nonpartisans who are closet Democrats who were purposely registered by Democrat-aligned groups as nonpartisans,” Ralston wrote Monday. “The machine knows who they are and will get them to vote. It will be just enough to overcome the Republican lead – along with women motivated by abortion and crossover votes that issue also will cause.”

Ralston noted that it won't be clear who carries the state on election night.

“It’s going to be very, very close,” he said.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is telling Americans "do NOT vote for me" on the eve of Election Day, adding in a video that a vote for Trump is "the only way that we can get me and everything I stand for into Washington, D.C. and fulfill the mission that motivated my campaign."

The fresh plea comes after the Supreme Court last week denied separate appeals by RFK Jr. to remove his name from the ballots in Wisconsin and Michigan.

"I've asked my voters repeatedly to vote for President Trump, but even a few votes for me in [Michigan] could swing the ballot in a way that the public doesn't intend and the voters don't intend," he told "America's Newsroom" on Sunday.

Kennedy, who once was running as an independent presidential candidate, has been trying to get his name off ballots in key battleground states since he suspended his campaign in August and endorsed Trump.

"Hey everybody, a lot of people are asking me if they live in a red state or blue state should they still be voting for me? What about swing states? The answer is easy – no," RFK Jr. then said in a video posted to his X account on Monday.

"No matter what state you live in, you should be voting for Donald Trump. And let me tell you why. That’s the only way that we can get me and everything I stand for into Washington, D.C. and fulfill the mission that motivated my campaign," he continued.

"Outnumbered" panelists discussed Vice President Kamala Harris' refusal to reveal her stance on a California crime measure and many other issues.

"Axios is now labeling Harris as the no-comment candidate. Just yesterday, she refused to say whether she voted for or against a tough-on-crime measure in California," hosts explained.

Harris was filmed declining to say whether she voted in favor of the measure this weekend. She said simply that her ballot is "on its way to California."

"I trust the system that it will arrive there, and I am not gonna talk about the vote on that because, honestly, it's the Sunday before an election and I don't intend to create an endorsement one way or another around it," Harris said.

Harris has also refused to clarify her positions regarding reparations for Black Americans; support for sanctuary cities; taxpayer-funded gender surgeries for inmates and many other issues.

At a time when the public is deluged with conflicting polls and statistical ties, Donald Trump’s campaign is unusually confident.

The Kamala Harris operation also sees reason for optimism, with news that late deciders are breaking her way by more than 10%. But she still casts herself as the underdog. Her "SNL" appearance doesn’t change that; nor does Trump saying that RFK’s plan to remove fluoride from the water "sounds okay to me."

The climax of the campaign seems built around a gaping gender gap–with Kamala doing far better among women and Trump much better among men.

The view from the Trump camp is that registration figures favor Republicans, based on mail-in voting, in the battleground states that will decide the race. Nearly half the country has already voted.

Take the crucial commonwealth of Pennsylvania. In 2020, Democrats had a 7.5% advantage, and that’s now shrunk to a 3-point edge.

Further illustrating the partisan gender gap, just 39% of Democrats who have voted there so far are men, compared to 49% among Republicans.

Democratic strategist Tom Bonier, who appears on MSNBC, says the Pennsylvania electorate is much more Republican, and much more male, than last time.

Former President Trump's campaign is touting data reportedly showing Republicans gaining ground in the early vote in battleground states compared to figures in the 2020 election cycle.

A source in the campaign told the New York Post that new and infrequent voters are leaning more toward Republicans than Democrats based on the latest indications from the four battleground states – Arizona, North Carolina, Nevada and Pennsylvania -- that reveal partisan registration during early voting.

In three other battleground states where data about party affiliation in early voting is not available, the Trump campaign is seeing bright spots that could foreshadow a favorable outcome, the source said.

There have been about 76 million early votes cast across the country, according to the University of Florida’s Election Lab. For context, a grand total of 252 million turned out in the 2020 election, the Post reported.

Trump has encouraged his supporters to vote early this time around.

In 2020, early voting generally favored Democrats while in-person voting leaned more toward the GOP.

Vice President Kamala Harris addressed supporters at one of three rallies she has scheduled in Pennsylvania on Monday.

Harris continued her closing message of unity, urging a crowd full of Democratic canvassers to "be intentional about building community."

"There is so much more that we have in common than what separates us," she said.

"Over these next 24 hours let's enjoy this moment to knock on a neighbor's door," she said before thanking each of the canvassers for their efforts.

The crowd broke into a chant of "Ka-ma-la" near the end of her speech. Harris then attempted to start another chant of "Let's get out the vote," but it soon petered out.

Former President Trump's campaign says Vice President Kamala Harris is facing a voter turnout problem on the eve of Election Day.

The campaign highlighted comments from former Obama Campaign Manager Jim Messina, who said on MSNBC that "the early vote numbers are a little scary."

The campaign also pointed to a report from NBC News claiming that Trump had a "16-point lead" among voters who plan to cast their ballot on Election Day.

"Democrats are spinning themselves and reporters by claiming that their voters will turn out on Election Day when polls show otherwise and, most importantly, that's asking Democrat voters to do something they have absolutely no history of doing," reads a memo released by Trump 2024 National Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt. "If Democrats, who historically vote ahead of Election Day, haven't been motivated to show up for Kamala yet, why do we expect them to show up tomorrow?"

"Fox & Friends Weekend" co-host Pete Hegseth reacted to Vice President Harris' plans to rub elbows with celebrities at a Philadelphia rally on election eve.

Hegseth argued the celebrities attending Harris' rally would conjure up interest in attending the event, but wouldn't change anyone's mind about Harris as a candidate.

Harris has had a litany of top celebrities attend her rallies in recent weeks, boasting endorsements from much of Hollywood.

The New York Times Tech Guild that represents hundreds of the giant newspaper's tech staffers went on strike on Monday, one day before Election Day.

The guild said in a statement that members would begin protesting outside the Times headquarters on a daily basis, beginning at 9 a.m. on Monday, according to the New York Times.

The planned walkout came after a vote on Sept. 10 to go on strike at a critical juncture if a deal wasn't made: Election Week. Anticipation and interest in the 2024 election is at a fever pitch, and the New York Times has the largest online subscription base of any American newspaper and one of the most highly trafficked news websites. 

According to the Times, the Tech Guild's 600 members are in charge of the back-end systems that power the paper's extensive digital operations, working in Engineering, Product, Design, Data and the project management office. The strike could affect the paper's ability to cover the election results of the presidential race between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, as well as the hundreds of House and dozens of Senate races dominating the national conversation and determining who will control of Washington in 2025.

"They have left us no choice but to demonstrate the power of our labor on the picket line," Kathy Zhang, the guild’s unit chair, said in the statement, according to the New York Times. "Nevertheless, we stand ready to bargain and get this contract across the finish line."

According to the Times, negotiations went late into Sunday and there were still disagreements over issues like a "just cause" provision that would prevent termination for reasons unrelated to misconduct, as well as pay raises and return-to-office policies. Times management told workers on Sunday it had offered a 2.5% annual wage hike, a 5% pay increase minimum for promotions and a $1,000 ratification bonus.

First lady Jill Biden will stump for Vice President Kamala Harris in a key battleground state on the last day before the general election, while President Biden, the former Democratic nominee, is absent from the campaign trail.

The first lady will spend election eve campaigning for Harris in North Carolina – a state of 16 key electoral votes that former President Donald Trump won in both 2016 and 2020.

Neither Harris nor her running mate, Gov. Tim Walz, have events scheduled in North Carolina on Monday. However, Jill Biden is expected to make stops in three cities across the state: Winston-Salem, Carrboro and Durham.

The first lady was also on the campaign trail Sunday, speaking at a get-out-the-vote event in Pennsylvania.

While his wife hits the trail for the Democratic presidential nominee, President Biden's public schedule shows he will remain off the campaign trail until Election Day. 

The president will spend Monday making calls to thank service members for "recent successful counterterrorism operations against ISIS in Iraq and Syria," according to his public schedule. 

The president attended a get-out-the-vote event in his hometown of Scranton, Pennsylvania, on Saturday, but has remained largely distant from the campaign trail since Harris stepped in as his replacement in July.

Harris, herself, has also appeared to distance herself from Biden throughout her campaign. 

The vice president recently told Fox News' Bret Baier that her presidency would "not be a continuation of Joe Biden’s presidency."

"Like every new president that comes into office, I will bring my life experiences, my professional experiences, and fresh and new ideas. I represent a new generation of leadership," Harris told Fox News.

Former President Trump vowed to impose massive tariffs against Mexico on day one of his administration if the country doesn't act to halt the flow of migrants through its territory.

Trump made the statement during a campaign appearance in Raleigh, North Carolina, on Monday. The threat is just one example of how the former president has said he plans to use tariffs to achieve his goals if he wins election on Tuesday.

Trump recalled his relationship with former Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, saying he had convinced Obrador to deploy troops to the U.S.-Mexico border during wall construction.

"They actually laughed at me when I suggested it," Trump said of Obrador's governemnt. "I said, here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to put a tariff of 100% on all your cars and everything that comes into the United States. They said, you know, they said, sir, we would be greatly honored to let you have our soldiers free of charge."

"One of the first calls I'm going to make is to Mexico. You stop letting people come in through our border and come in through your southern border, and you stop them," Trump continued.

He said he would threaten Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum with a 25% tariff if she does not address the issue.

Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., appeared on MSNBC on Monday to claim that former President Trump's brain is deteriorating.

"I think that what, uh, um, um the ex-president just said is further indication of his cognitive degeneration," Pelosi argued. "You saw recently when he talked about whether he chose electrocution or being eaten by sharks."

"Something is very wrong there, and indicative in it also is diminishing the power of the press, which is the guardian of our freedom," she continued. "People who are thinking about voting for him have to know that he can't last as president for four years with his brain deteriorating at the rate that it is."

Pelosi went on to say that a vote for Trump may very well be a vote for a JD Vance presidency, which she argued would be a disaster.

DAYTON, OH - A competitive Senate race in Ohio has resulted in voters being flooded with ads about national issues, but a lesser known state ballot measure to amend the state constitution could, according to its critics, fundamentally change the makeup of elections for the worse for years to come.

On Tuesday, Ohio voters will vote "yes" or "no" on a measure "to create an appointed redistricting commission not elected by or subject to removal by the voters of the state."

The ballot question states that it would, among other things, "repeal constitutional protections against gerrymandering approved by nearly three quarters of Ohio electors participating in the statewide elections of 2015 and 2018, and eliminate the longstanding ability of Ohio citizens to hold their representatives accountable for establishing fair state legislative and congressional districts."

Ohioans voted overwhelmingly in 2015 to create the commission and have it draw State House districts. During that bipartisan campaign, which was called Fair Districts for Ohio, they were promised the new system would "protect against gerrymandering." In 2018, voters gave the commission an additional role in a new system set up to draw congressional districts.

Citizens Not Politicians (CNP) argues the existing system has failed. The group is calling for replacing the current regime with an independent body made up of average citizens. Current and former politicians, party officials and lobbyists would be ineligible. The 15-member Ohio Citizens Redistricting Commission would include Republicans, Democrats and independents and represent a mix of the state’s geographic and demographic traits.

CNP sued the Ohio Ballot Board and Republican Secretary of State Frank LaRose over the wording of the ballot measure, and small tweaks were made. However, the court ruled the phrase "required to gerrymander" was accurate and upheld the majority of the wording.

While CNP argues that this measure puts citizens in control of district mapping, opponents warn that the measure is a partisan power grab funded by progressive groups, including dark money.

"Issue 1 doesn't empower citizens, it does the exact opposite," Honest Elections Project Executive Director Jason Snead told Fox News Digital. "It creates a new class of politicians who are wholly unaccountable to the people of Ohio. It's nothing more than a liberal power grab designed to send more progressive politicians to Washington and Columbus."

FCC Commissioner Senior Republican Brendan Carr joined Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo to discuss Kamala Harris' appearance on "Saturday Night Live."

Carr was among the first to cry fowl over Harris' appearance, arguing that NBC may have infringed on the federal equal time rule. The rule requires that public networks provide equal and similarly placed time to qualifying election candidates.

Carr noted that NBC would be required to offer former President Trump comparable time following Harris' appearance.

NBC did file a notice with the FCC following Harris' appearance, saying it gave the candidate two minutes of airtime during the SNL episode.

Carr noted that NBC only made the admission "after a ruckus was made and they were called out for this."

"The FCC needs to speak up and hold them accountable," he said.

Carr is the sole Republican in the 3-person leadership over the FCC. The FCC chair would be required to pursue any action relating to NBC.

PHILADELPHIA – Vice President Kamala Harris is making a last-minute pitch to her supporters in the biggest of the battlegrounds.

"We need you to vote, Pennsylvania.  We need you to vote," Harris emphasized as she spoke to a large crowd in the Keystone State's capital city of Harrisburg last week. "No one can sit on the sidelines."

The vice president and Democratic presidential nominee returns to Pennsylvania on Monday - holding rallies in Allentown, Pittsburgh and Philadelphia on Election Eve. She'll begin her final day with a canvass kick off in Scranton, and also make a stop in Reading.

Her rival for the White House, Republican nominee former President Donald Trump, held a rally in Pennsylvania on Sunday. 

"A very, very special hello to Pennsylvania… What a great place. And I'm thrilled to be back in this beautiful Commonwealth with thousands of proud, hardworking American patriots," the former president told the crowd at his rally in Lititz. 

Trump's message to his supporters: "Pennsylvania, go vote."

On Monday, the final full day of campaigning ahead of Election Day, Trump returns to the state to hold rallies in Reading and Pittsburgh.

Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, has suggested that if Democrats sweep the 2024 elections, they will control the nation for a century.

He predicted that if Democrats win both chambers of Congress and the White House, they will eliminate the filibuster in the Senate, add justices to the U.S. Supreme Court, grant Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico statehood, and establish federal control over elections, redistricting, and campaigns.

"Day 1: Nuke the filibuster," Lee wrote on X. "Day 2: Pack SCOTUS. Day 3: Make DC & PR states. Day 4: Enact federal takeover of elections/redistricting/campaigns. Days 5 - 36,500: Rule America uncontested for 100 years."

Lee, who has been serving in the Senate since 2011, endorsed former President Donald Trump in January prior to the Iowa GOP presidential caucus, which Trump decisively won.

The senator has been active on X, frequently responding to 2024 Democratic presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris.

Democrats are in a position to possibly flip two of Iowa's four House seats, according to a new poll.

The state's four House seats are currently controlled by Republicans.

Democrats have the upper hand in the 1st and 3rd Congressional Districts, while Republicans remain ahead among voters in the 2nd and 4th Districts, according to a new Des Moines Register/Mediacom Iowa Poll. 

In the 1st Congressional District, 53% of respondents said they preferred the Democratic candidate, while 37% said they would vote or have already voted for the Republican. 

Democratic challenger Christina Bohannan, therefore, has a 16-point lead over Republican incumbent Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks in their 2022 rematch contest. 

Miller-Meeks secured victory over Bohannan by nearly 7 percentage points in 2022. 

"This race was always going to be competitive," Miller-Meeks campaign spokesman Tyler Menzler said in a statement. "In 2020, Mariannette Miller-Meeks won by 6 votes and in 2022, she won by 7 points." 

"Just like yesterday, the final Selzer poll greatly defies the reality on the ground," Menzler said. "And not even the Democrats are buying it. On Tuesday, Mariannette Miller-Meeks will win the only poll that matters and be re-elected."

The Des Moines Register/Mediacom Iowa Poll shows 48% of voters in the third congressional district prefer the Democratic candidate, while 41% said they voted or will vote for the Republican. Democratic challenger Lanon Baccam has a 7-point lead ahead of Republican incumbent Rep. Zach Nunn. 

In the 2nd Congressional District, 45% of respondents prefer the Republican, while 42% prefer the Democrat. Republican U.S. Rep. Ashley Hinson has a three-point lead over Democrat Sarah Corkery.

Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance is predicting a Trump victory in New Hampshire on Election Day, telling voters there that the campaign is "expanding the map" compared to past presidential races. 

"I believe that in two days we're going to turn New Hampshire red and make Donald Trump the next president of the United States," the Ohio senator and Trump’s running mate told a crowd in Derry on Sunday night. 

"I got to be honest, a couple of months ago, I wasn't necessarily sure that the day before the last full day of the campaign, we'd be in the great state of New Hampshire. But I think that it suggests that what we're doing is expanding the map," Vance continued. "We're bringing new voters into this coalition and for the folks in New Hampshire who want to live free, we are the only ticket in town, Donald J. Trump is the only president for you." 

Vance said a margin of just .37% in 2016 "was the difference between Hillary Clinton and Donald J. Trump." 

The state went blue that year, and then in 2020 President Biden defeated Trump in New Hampshire 52.9 to 45.5%. 

"I think what's different this time around is that we have seen for the last four years the incredible failures of Kamala Harris's governance and the way that it has affected people in this great state as much as anybody else in the union," Vance said Sunday. 

"I've heard already since I've been in the state of New Hampshire, about the terrible toll of Kamala Harris' open border, about the migrant crisis that has made its way hundreds of miles from the American southern border, right here to the state of New Hampshire," Vance added. "I hear from New Hampshire families who can't afford the cost of groceries, who can't afford to buy a home, and I think our message in just two days to Kamala Harris is going to be very simple and my running mate loves to say it, you are fired. Go back to San Francisco, where you belong. We don’t want you in the White House." 

In the final Fox News Power Rankings forecast before Election Day, New Hampshire was placed in the "leans Dem" category.

An election ad for former President Donald Trump aired on NBC toward the end of the broadcast of NASCAR’s Xfinity 500 at Martinsville Speedway and the NFL's coverage of the Minnesota Vikings-Indianapolis Colts game on Sunday night.

The ad started with "A special message from Donald J. Trump."

Trump was seen with his "Make America Great Again" hat as he told viewers that electing Vice President Kamala Harris would bring along another "depression." He also told viewers to go out and vote with only a handful of hours left before Election Day comes and goes.

"We're losing everything, including viability," Trump said in the ad. "We're going to end up in a depression based on what's been happening. We've never seen anything like it, at least in the last 40 years."

The appearance of the Republican presidential candidate appeared to be connected to Harris’ surprise appearance on "Saturday Night Live," according to multiple reports. 

The uproar over her appearance and whether Trump would get free time on some NBC broadcast was the talk of Sunday.

The uproar over her appearance and whether Trump would get free time on some NBC broadcast was the talk of Sunday.

NBC News filed an Equal Time notice with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) late Sunday following the backlash, disclosing Harris "SNL" appearance after the network was accused of violating the longstanding rule.

Former President Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris remain deadlocked in polls as the nation sits on the eve of Election Day on Monday.

Fox News political correspondent Brooke Singman reported the latest on the razor-thin race between Trump and Harris in a Monday morning appearance on "Fox & Friends First."

Harris will spend Monday hopping across Pennsylvania, making her final pitch to voters with a concert featuring "plenty of A-list celebrities."

Meanwhile, Trump will hold four rallies across three swing states Monday, including a stop in Michigan to speak with auto workers.

"On Tuesday you have to stand up and tell Harris that you've had enough, you can't take it anymore, that you're the worse vice president in the history of our country. It's the worst administration in the history of our country. Kamala, you're fired. Get out. Get out, you're fired," Trump said in a Sunday rally.

Early in-person and mail-in ballots have begun pouring in across the country, and the tally in each state reveals mounting voter enthusiasm. 

Recent polling suggests a razor-thin margin in the race between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, and the results are expected to come down to each candidate's performance in seven swing states: Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona, Michigan, Wisconsin, Nevada and North Carolina. 

States have long allowed at least some Americans to vote early, like members of the military and people with illnesses unable to get to the polls. Many states expanded eligibility in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic.

In the last presidential election, mail ballots tended to skew Democratic. In 2020, 60% of Democrats reported voting by mail, compared to 32% of Republicans, according to a 2021 study from the MIT Election Data and Science Lab.

As of Sunday morning, over 77 million ballots have been cast nationwide.

Here is a breakdown of where early ballots have been cast, either by mail or in person, in the seven battleground states, according to The Associated Press. Some states, like Arizona, Nevada, North Carolina and Pennsylvania also provide a party breakdown of the early votes that have been cast.

New security fencing was placed around the White House, Vice President Kamala Harris' residence and the U.S. Capitol on Sunday as authorities in Washington, D.C., prepare for potential unrest following Tuesday's presidential election.

The Secret Service erected eight-foot-high metal fences around the White House and Treasury Department complex, and the adjacent parts of Lafayette Square, as well as the Naval Observatory and Harris' D.C. residence, according to The Washington Post.

The Capitol brought back temporary bicycle-rack barriers posted with signs surrounding its perimeter that read: "Police Line: Do not cross."

Physical security measures will also be set up by the Secret Service outside the West Palm Beach, Florida, convention center where former President Trump will hold a watch party on election night.

Metropolitan Police in Washington, D.C., also announced street closures, no parking zones and transit detours starting at 7 p.m. Monday in the area around Harris' election night watch party at Howard University.

"The Secret Service is working closely with federal, state and local partners in Washington, DC and Palm Beach County, Florida to ensure heightened levels of Election Day safety and security," the Secret Service said in a statement to The Washington Post. "These enhancements are not in response to any specific issue but are part of wide ranging public safety preparations for Tuesday’s election."

This comes after officials have sought to reassure residents and businesses bracing for post-election protests following damage suffered in 2020 during Black Lives Matter and post-election demonstrations.
