The former president normally loves to talk about polls, but on Sunday he criticized a surprising new poll in the Midwest.

“The polls are as corrupt as some of the writers there,” Trump said during a rally at the airport near Lancaster, Pennsylvania, the start of a tour that will take him to North Carolina and Georgia on Sunday.

Trump specifically cited the Des Moines Register/Mediacom Iowa poll released Saturday that shows him now trailing Harris in the Hawkeye State. But he also criticized other polls released before Election Day.

“We have all this crap going on, with the press and the fake stuff,” Trump said. “And fake polls.”

Trump campaign adviser calls Iowa poll ‘atypical’

Trump’s top adviser, Corey Lewandowski, dismisses a poll conducted in Iowa that shows the former president trailing Kamala Harris in the red state.

The Des Moines Register/Mediacom Iowa poll shows 47% of likely voters back Harris, compared to 44% for Trump. Lewandowski called the poll “a complete outlier that has no credibility” and noted that the same poll tied Trump and President Joe Biden in the state at the end of the 2020 race.

Trump won Iowa by eight percentage points in 2020. Lewandowski noted that Harris has not been campaigning in Iowa to reject the idea that the state is up for grabs.

It’s a bad sign for the Trump campaign if Harris does well in Iowa, raising questions about the former president’s prospects in other states with large numbers of older white voters. The Des Moines Register/Mediacom poll shows Harris leading among women voters by 20 percentage points. He also has a big lead among high-end voters and is leading Trump among Iowa independents.

“If your political capital, you know, comes from molesting trans kids or gay kids or something like that, then you’re bankrupt with all this,” Fetterman said. “My version of being is like, ‘Hey, I like steak, I like Motörhead, and I’m never going to pick on trans and gay kids.'”

Trump and his running mate, JD Vance, have made anti-trans attacks an important part of his closing message to voters in the 2024 elections, arguing

TO Des Moines Record/Mediacom Iowa Poll released on saturday night shows vice president Kamala Harris leading Trump 47% to 44% among likely voters.

In an interview with Kristen Welker on Sunday’s “Meet the Press,” Burgum played down the surprise poll numbers, pointing to a rival poll from Saturday by Emerson University putting Trump with a 10-point lead over Harris in the state.

“If you take the average of those last two polls, I think Trump will still confidently win Iowa,” Burgum said on the NBC talk show Sunday. “I would be surprised, I would be completely surprised, if (Harris’ victory) comes close to being Iowa.”

The Republican governor remained optimistic about his party’s candidate, highlighting his recent campaign visits to several key battleground states: “It’s a very close race that will be decided on Tuesday, but the momentum I’ve felt in the last week ground… is that the energy of all demographic groups is very, very positive.”

Harrison Ford, aka Indiana Jones, endorses Harris

Indiana Jones is next to Kamala Harris.

Actor Harrison Ford, who in a series of films played the adventurous archaeologist with a phobia of snakes, has published a video in which he endorses the Democratic presidential candidate and expresses his fear of something else: a second presidency of Donald Trump.

In the video, a gruff-voiced Ford quotes the dozens of former members of the Trump administration who are sounding the alarm about the Republican nominee and telling voters “for the love of God, don’t do this again.” Harris, he said, will protect the rights of Americans to negotiate with her on policies or ideas “and then, as we have done for centuries, we will debate them, work on them together and move forward. “

Ford concludes by saying that he has one vote, “just like anyone else,” and that he will use it to go ahead and vote for Harris.

Sen. Raphael Warnock, D-Ga., appearing on NBC’s “Meet the Press” Sunday, was asked about President Joe Biden’s comment last week in which he appeared to call Trump supporters “trash.”

“As pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church, where Martin Luther King Jr. served, I believe we all need to elevate the character and tone of our political discourse,” Warnock said, adding that he believes “that’s what Kamala Harris is doing.” “. “.

Could red state Iowa be moving back into the purple state as a presidential swing state?

the new Des Moines Record/Mediacom Iowa Poll released Saturday night shows Vice President Kamala Harris leading former President Donald Trump by 3 percentage points in the state, 47% to 44%, a result that suggests Iowa is in play as Election Day quickly approaches .

However, neither campaign has treated Iowa and its six Electoral College delegates as up for grabs.

Brendan Carr, the top Republican on the Federal Communications Commission, suggested in a post on social media on Sunday that Kamala Harris’ appearance on “Saturday Night Live” may have violated the FCC’s equal time rule.

Carr called Harris’ spot on the comedy show a “clear and blatant effort to evade” the commission’s rule, unless NBC offered Donald Trump a similar opportunity. He equal time rule stipulates that radio and television stations grant political candidates similar air time.

“With just days before the election, NBC appears to have structured this appearance in a way that evades these requirements,” Carr said in your publication in Xformerly Twitter.

Carr, who was appointed by both Trump and President Joe Biden, is among the FCC’s five commissioners. The other commissioners have not yet commented publicly on the matter. It’s also unclear what conversations, if any, NBC and the Trump campaign have had.
