It’s Election Eve — and former President Donald Trump appears to have momentum in several new polls.

Trump is rallied in Raleigh, NC, Monday while his VP pick, Ohio Sen. JD Vance, campaigned in LaCrosse, Wis. Both are going in hard on Democratic candidate and Vice President Kamala Harris, with Trump drawing raucous applause by declaring to a crowd, “Kamala, you’re fired!” and Vance asking, “What the hell have you been doing?” as President Biden’s veep.

Harris is spending her final campaigning day in the crucial swing state of Pennsylvania. After North Carolina, Trump also heads to the Keystone State before wrapping his campaign in Michigan.

“This has been an incredible journey. It’s very sad in a way, because you know, we’ve done all these and this is the last one,” Trump said at the Van Andel Arena. “But here’s the good news, all we were doing is putting ourselves in a position to win, which we can do tomorrow easily if we show up.”

Megyn Kelly appeared at Donald Trump’s campaign rally in Pittsburgh, Pa., on Monday, revealing to the crowd that she’s backing the Republican ex-president because of the Democrats’ handling of illegal immigration and transgender policies.

Kelly listed instances of illegal migrants accused of killing young Americans like Georgia college student Laken Riley, 22, and 12-year-old Texan Jocelyn Nungaray as she blamed Vice President Kamala Harris for opening up the southern border “by choice.”

Election Day kicked off with a tie as Donald Trump and Kamala Harris split the six votes cast in a tiny New Hampshire town with a tradition of counting its ballots just after midnight.

Trump and Harris split the first six ballots of the 2024 election in New Hampshire

By Victor Nava

Former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris each received three votes Tuesday in the tiny New Hampshire town that traditionally counts its votes at midnight. 

The final vote tally at Dixville Notch, New Hampshire is a dramatic shift from the 2020 election, when Joe Biden swept the town’s vote. 

Hillary Clinton also won the Dixville Notch vote in the 2016 presidential election. 

On Sunday, Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance predicted a Trump victory in the Granite State, telling voters during a rally in Derry that the campaign is “expanding the map.”

"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 declared.

Kamala Harris takes to the ‘Rocky Steps’ in final pitch to voters in Philadelphia: ‘A tribute to those who start as the underdog’ 

By Victor Nava

Vice President Kamala Harris delivered her last stump speech before Election Day in front of the steps made famous by the movie “Rocky,” calling them a “tribute to those who start as the underdog and climb to victory.”

Harris, 60, has regularly referred to herself as the “underdog” in her race against former President Donald Trump – but on Monday night, in front of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, she declared that “momentum is on our side.” 

“However, the race ain't over yet and we must finish strong,” the Democratic nominee cautioned. “And this could be one of the closest races in history. Every single vote matters.”

“[W]e need everyone to vote in Pennsylvania, and you will decide the outcome of this election, Pennsylvania,” Harris said of the crucial swing state. 

Oprah Winfrey, Jon Bon Jovi, Lady Gaga and  Will I Am were among the celebrities that appeared at Harris’ final event on the campaign trail. 

The vice president’s final speech clocked in at about 18 minutes and followed a short 9 minute speech in Pittsburgh hours earlier. 

Harris also spoke for about 7 minutes in Scranton, Pa., and for around 20 minutes in Allentown, Pa., earlier in the day, as she barnstormed the Keystone State – which has 19 Electoral College votes up for grabs on Tuesday. 

Former President Donald Trump leads Harris in Pennsylvania by 0.4 percentage points, according to the latest RealClearPolitics average of polls. 

Her short speeches stand in stark contrast to Trump, 78, who delivered remarks for nearly 2 hours in his penultimate campaign speech in Pittsburgh earlier on Monday.

The Trump campaign mocked Harris over her short remarks.  

“Low Energy [Harris’] first three speaking events today were, well, pretty darn short,” Trump campaign senior adviser Jason Miller wrote on X, ahead of the vice president’s speech in the City of Brotherly Love. 

Elon Musk and Joe Rogan debunk ‘hoaxes’ about Trump

By Victor Nava

Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk and podcast host Joe Rogan fumed over “hoaxes” related to former President Donald Trump that have been pushed during his campaign against Vice President Kamala Harris. 

“Like the ‘fine people’ hoax … [Barack] Obama just said that, I was like, ‘What the flying f—?’” Musk said during an appearance on “The Joe Rogan Experience,” referring to Trump’s 2017 comments after a Charlottesville, Va., white supremacist rally that have often been misquoted. 

“Flat out lie,” Rogan said of the efforts to paint Trump’s remarks as sympathetic to white supremacists.  

The podcast host and UFC commentator then railed against Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign for portraying Trump’s vow to “protect” women “whether the women like it or not” as a signal that he intends to impose federal restrictions on abortion.

“They were trying to say that he was taking away women's right to choose whether women like it or not –  that's not what he was saying,” Rogan noted. “He was literally talking about protecting them from dangerous people that are sneaking in through the border.” 

“They'll take, like, not even a full sentence, like a half a sentence from him and then they’ll push it on every ad,” Musk said of the Democratic strategy against Trump. 

The SpaceX and Tesla CEO went on to call false reports that Trump called for the execution of former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) – who is campaigning with Harris in 2024 – “utter bulls–t.” 

“It's not what he said at all,” Musk said. “All he said was like if Liz Cheney actually had to fight at the front lines, she would think twice about going to war.” 

“I had, like, tons of people calling me this weekend saying, ‘Oh, Trump says he's gonna put Liz Cheney in a firing squad.’ I'm like, ‘That is an outrageous lie,’” the X boss added. 

Son of legendary Puerto Rican baseball star Roberto Clemente endorses Trump

By Victor Nava

The son of the late Pittsburgh Pirates great Roberto Clemente endorsed former President Donald Trump on Monday and vowed to work to “make America healthy again.” 

“I'm very proud to be here,” Roberto Clemente Jr., told the crowd in Pittsburgh after being brought on stage by Trump. 

“For the first time, I had to take a step forward. It is very important for me to support this man,” the 59-year-old former professional baseball player said. 

“The name Clemente, what it means is goodwill and unity. I believe that your team is going to bring it all home,”  Clemente Jr. continued. 

“And I told this man that I commit myself to helping [Robert F. Kennedy Jr.] with our kids and making America healthy again,” he added. 

“Bobby's going to like that,” Trump said of RFK Jr. having Clemente Jr.’s help on health initiatives in a second Trump administration.

Singer uses music of jazz singer Billie Holiday to rally Kamala Harris supporters

By Ethan Dodd

PITTSBURGH -- Outside a rusted steel mill, singer Andra Day serenaded thousands of Kamala Harris supporters with the music of jazz singer Billie Holiday to prepare them to possibly elect the first woman president in U.S. history.

"I love women in positions of power. I love women who fight, because that's what women do constantly. If you look at all of these pivotal moments throughout history, they would not have happened without women," Day said, before announcing she'd sing Billie Holiday's "God Bless the Child" to cheers.

"I love our audience, full of Billie Holiday fans," Day smiled.

"She's a gay icon," Chad Maddox said about Holiday. "She used her voice for the underdog."

"This is iconic. This is history. I'm extremely proud to see a woman of color running" for president, said Baker, noting America has come a long way from the racism of Holiday's time in the 1930s.

The gay flight attendant from Miami was on a layover in Pittsburgh with his fellow flight attendant Holly Baker. They thought Holiday was the perfect way to open for Harris.

"This is iconic. This is history. I'm extremely proud to see a woman of color running" for president, said Baker, noting America has come a long way from the racism of Holiday's time in the 1930s.

"We're all different shades," she added looking at those around her. Baker herself is a half black and Italian Pittsburgh native now based in Florida.

"We need fairness. We don't need hate and that other garbage," she said referring to former President Donald Trump.

The two flight attendants said Harris would represent for all people, as the massive blue signage indicated by the stage: "PRESIDENT FOR ALL."

"We love our democracy. We love our country. We love our freedom. And we're not going back," Maddox said, echoing the themes of the Harris campaign.

Donald Trump reacts to Joe Rogan endorsing him for president: 'That's so nice!'

By Mark Suleymanov

It looks like his suggestion to Joe Rogan worked.

During his Monday night rally in Pennsylvania, his last message to voters ahead of Election Day on Tuesday, Donald Trump announced to the live crowd that Joe Rogan endorsed him for president.

"Oh wow I have some more big news," Trump began. "Somebody that's very respected asked me to do his show two weeks ago and I said, 'Why not?" To me it's very big because he's the biggest there is, in the world by far. Beyond anybody in a long time."

"His name is Joe Rogan and he's never done this before. It just came over the wires that Joe Rogan just endorsed me, isn't that great?"

"Thank you Joe!"

Trump appeared on Rogan's podcast "The Joe Rogan Experience" last month where he suggested to the popular host and UFC commentator to endorse him for president.

"That's so nice, he doesn't do that, he doesn't do stuff. He tends to be a little bit more liberal."

Megyn Kelly stumps for Trump at Pittsburgh rally 

By Victor Nava

Conservative podcaster Megan Kelly made a surprise appearance Monday at a rally for former President Donald Trump. 

“[H]ere I am at a Trump rally, a strong, intelligent woman to prove Mark Cuban wrong again,” the host of SiriusXM’s “The Megyn Kelly Show” said at the Pittsburgh, Pa., event. 

Kelly, 53, noted that when she launched her show four years ago, Cuban appeared as a guest to “speak out about human rights violations” but became enraged when asked about “all the money he was taking from China.”

The former Fox News went on to lay out all the reasons she’s voting for Trump. 

“Number one: immigration,” Kelly said. 

“I hope all of you do what I did last week – vote Trump and get ten friends to vote Trump too,” she added.

Pa. Dem Sen. Casey seems OK with votes for third-party foes to thwart GOP rival McCormick

By Josh Christenson

Vulnerable Pennsylvania Democratic Sen. Bob Casey seems fine with voters casting ballots for third-party foes — so long as they don’t vote for GOP rival Dave McCormick, a new ad suggests.

The Casey campaign and Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee recently rolled out a video ad titled “Four Candidates” that only crosses out his Republican challenger, implying the senator might be OK with the Libertarian and Constitution Party candidates — to help split McCormick’s vote count.

McCormick’s face is bathed in red has a big, yellow “X” over it in the final panel of the ad, whereas Libertarian Party candidate John Thomas and Constitution Party candidate Bernard Selker remain untouched — just like Casey.
