Oops: It Looks Like Kamala Harris Isn't Doing So Well With Black Voters

Jeff Charles reporting for RedState 

It appears Black Hillary is already underperforming with Black voters – especially Black men in Georgia.

Yes, it is still early, but if the results in Georgia are any indication, former President Donald Trump will perform better with Black voters than he has in the past and Vice President Kamala Harris is in deep trouble.

Former White House Director of Strategic Communications Mercedes Schlapp had some interesting news during an appearance on Newsmax. The host mentioned that he received information from the Trump camp indicating that he has won about 25 percent of Black men in Georgia and asked Schlapp whether this would be a game changer.

Schlapp responded, noting that Black Americans make up 33 percent of the population in the Peach State. She also pointed out that “It seems that Kamala is behind six points with Black women” from where President Joe Biden was in 2020.

Black Americans will likely be pivotal in the outcome of the election, with many indicating that they plan to vote for Trump.

A recent poll showed that Harris is severely underperforming with Black voters – especially Black men.

A New York Times/Siena College poll conducted between September 29 and October 5 showed that while she will certainly win the majority of Black votes, she is falling far short of the amount President Joe Biden received in the 2020 election. Only about 78 percent of Black voters indicated that they plan to vote for Harris. This is a significant drop from Biden, who won 90 percent of the Black vote four years ago.

This already isn’t looking good for Harris.

But the numbers get even worse from there.

The poll also shows that 15 percent of Black voters plan to support former President Donald Trump at the ballot box. If this holds, it would represent a six-point increase from 2020.

If the polling holds, especially in key battleground states, Trump will win this election. Democrats have historically relied on winning at least 90 percent of the Black vote in past elections, and the demographic has been critical to their chances of winning.

If Trump manages to siphon off enough Black votes, it would not only signify a victory for the former president, but it would also show a massive repudiation of the Democratic Party with its most loyal voting base.

If this happens, it will not be surprising, given that Democrats have taken African Americans for granted for decades. Younger generations of Black folks do not necessarily have the same attachment to the Democratic Party that their parents and grandparents had, which could at least partially explain why so many are giving the GOP candidate a chance.

It is also worth looking at how Democrats courted Black voters during this election cycle. Instead of speaking to the issues that African Americans care most about, they tried to shame them into getting in line for the party. They even trotted out former President Barack Obama to call Black men sexist for being hesitant to support Harris.

If these numbers are any indication, these tactics did not work – as they shouldn’t.

Trump Wins Miami-Dade County By Double Digits In County’s First GOP Presidential Win Since 1988

Brianna Lyman reporting for The Federalist 

Former President Donald Trump flipped Florida’s Miami-Dade County by approximately 11 points after losing the county in 2020 by roughly 7 points.

Florida was called shortly after 8:00 p.m. EST for Trump, with The New York Times (NYT) reporting Trump had an 11-point lead in the county with 95 percent of the reporting in. Miami-Dade, once a Democrat stronghold, also flipped for Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis in 2022 by 11 points. The last Republican presidential candidate to win Miami-Dade was George H. W. Bush in 1988.

Osceola County, which is majority Hispanic and has a “very large Puerto Rican population,” also narrowly flipped for Trump by 1.5 points, despite Democrats’ Hail Mary play to pit Puerto Ricans against Trump after a comedian cracked a joke at a recent Trump rally about Puerto Rico’s waste management. Researchers at the University of Central Florida’s Puerto Rico Research Hub recently released a poll finding 85 percent of the Puerto Rican respondents said they planned on voting for Vice President Kamala Harris, according to Click Orlando.

Research Hub director Dr. Fernando Rivera said the jokes “really touched a very sensitive topic” and would have “ramifications.”

The county broke for Biden by nearly 14 points in 2020.

This time, Trump won Florida by 13 points and more than 1.4 million votes, according to The Times. The Miami Herald reported “no presidential candidate has won the state with such a large advantage in 36 years.”

Republican political analyst Cesar Grajales told the Miami-Herald that immigrants in South Florida who fled their native countries “don’t want to live that situation again” and were therefore moving toward Trump.

“They see in Trump a strong character, and feel that with him they will have that security with him,” Grajales said.

9 Proofs Our Elections Are Safe And Secure

Babylon Bee🐝

Though many Americans are worried about the security of America's electoral processes our elections are and always have been completely secure and reliable.

To provide peace of mind, The Babylon Bee put together the following list of absolute proofs to show just how well U.S. elections are guarded.

---

1. The government runs them: Just relax — everything the government touches runs just fine.

2. CNN says so: Are you one of those kooky conspiracy theorists who doesn't trust CNN?

3. If you don't think our elections are secure, you're an election denier: You know who else denied elections? Hitler.

4. It would be as hard to hack the voting system as it would be to bring cocaine into the White House: That's basically impossible.

5. No political party would ever try to rig an election: Because cheaters never win.

6. Democrats have shot down every measure attempting to secure our elections since they were already so secure: See? Clear evidence that there's nothing to worry about.

7. Trump has promised to inspect every ballot himself: He even said he'd add the secret ingredient — love.

8. Ballots are filled out in ink, and you can't erase ink: Checkmate.

9. They gave you an 'I Voted' sticker: No one can obtain these stickers unless all elections are completely secure.

As you can see from the list above, there's absolutely nothing to worry about. Just sit back, take it easy, and wait for that 3 A.M. dump of ballots that will decide the election.

US Plans to Test Hypersonic Nuclear Missile After Polls Close, Tucker Carlson, Mike Lee Want to Know Why

Bob Hoge reporting for RedState 

The U.S. sure picked a weird time to schedule an unarmed hypersonic nuclear missile test—just hours after the polls close in one of the most significant elections in our history—but that’s what they reportedly plan to do:

The US military is set to conduct a test launch of a hypersonic nuclear missile hours after polls close on Election Day.

An unarmed Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) is scheduled to blast off between 11:01pm and 5:01am PT from California's Vandenberg Space Force Base.

Some Americans have expressed concerns about the nuclear weapon test on the same day as the country is casting their votes for the next president.

But military officials noted that the 'test is routine and was scheduled years in advance.'

They said the purpose of the test was to show the 'readiness of nuclear US forces' and provide 'confidence in the nation's nuclear deterrence' amid fears of the growing threat of the outbreak of World War III.

Tucker Carlson and Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) want to know why:

They characterized the move as really "bizarre":

TUCKER CARLSON: This is a Daily Mail piece. Just came out this afternoon: U.S. to test hypersonic nuclear missile tonight, just hours after election polls close amid growing World War III fears.

What the hell is that?!

SEN. MIKE LEE: I don't know. That seems like a really odd choice. I don't know why November 5th would have to be the day --

TUCKER CARLSON: It's an intercontinental ballistic missile, The Minuteman II [sic], scheduled to blast off between 11:01 PM and 5:01 AM from California's Vandenberg Space Force Base. Why? Why would you have a nuclear missile test on the same day as a presidential election?

SEN. MIKE LEE: Let me put the most favorable spin on this that I possibly can. The most favorable spin I can put on that one is that some pinheads at the Pentagon are totally tone-deaf on political matters and didn't have the election in mind when they did this.

If that's the case, that's really weird.

I don't like this at all. I think there are 364 other days they could have chosen for this year. Why Election Day? Why?

TUCKER CARLSON: Well, I agree.

SEN. MIKE LEE: Why that night, after that, the entire country has just voted? I think that's really bizarre.

It does seem like an awfully strange choice and will scare the heck out of people, even if it is, as reported, unarmed. Military officials argued that the “test is routine and was scheduled years in advance.” Well, it wasn’t a great planning choice back then, and it isn’t any better now.

The details of this weapon are pretty darn terrifying:

They said the purpose of the test was to show the 'readiness of nuclear US forces' and provide 'confidence in the nation's nuclear deterrence' amid fears of the growing threat of the outbreak of World War III.

The exercise will see the ICBM travel 4,200 miles from the base to Kwajalein Atoll, a small island in the North Pacific, which will take about 22 minutes.

The weapon can reach speeds over 15,000 miles per hour, allowing it to hit any target worldwide in just 30 minutes after launch.

"Bizarre" is right, Senator Lee.
