Former Nsa Exec Faces Leak Charges

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg did not dismiss the possibility of a 2026 Michigan gubernatorial run, saying he’ll decide “how to make myself useful” after the election, the AP reports.

Nate Cohn: “With one day left in the 2024 campaign, the polls show one of the closest presidential elections in the history of American politics.” “Across the key battlegrounds collectively or nationwide, neither Kamala Harris nor Donald J. Trump leads by more than a single percentage point. Neither candidate holds a meaningful edge in enough states to win 270 electoral votes.” “In the history of modern polling, there’s never been a race where the final polls showed such a close contest.

“In the abstract, a normal Republican nominee right now should win this election by 10 points. By the same token, if you had a popular Democratic nominee, he or she should easily be able to beat a guy like Donald Trump, the majority of people never supported and don’t want him back in office for another four years.

Politico: “Of the 93 Republicans designated as prospective presidential electors for Trump from the seven battleground states, eight are facing felony charges for signing false Electoral College certificates in 2020.” “Another five signed similar certificates in 2020 but were not charged. And at least six others played notable roles in challenging the results of the 2020 election or promoting election conspiracy theories.”

“Donald Trump, who blamed his 2020 defeat on false claims of vast election malfeasance, has spent much of the final week of his third presidential campaign trying to discredit the legitimacy of this year’s election,” the Washington Post reports. “His latest unsubstantiated claims could set the stage for an attempt to fight a potential loss not only in the courts but also by spreading falsehoods about the nation’s election systems.
