A Tight Race Nationally

Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s plan to give out $1 million prize to registered voters in swing states as he stumps for former President Donald Trump has raised concerns and could be illegal, some election law experts suggest. Every day until the Nov. 5 election, Musk, the world’s richest man, plans on giving a million-dollar prize to people who sign a petition in support of the First and Second Amendments of the Constitution, which guarantee freedom of speech and the right to bear arms, among other rights.

During her time representing Wyoming in Congress, Liz Cheney held an “A” rating for her voting record from a leading anti-abortion group, Susan B. Anthony Pro-life America. Before leaving the Senate to become Vice President, Kamala Harris scored an “F.” But that wide gap on a pivotal election issue hasn’t stopped Cheney from campaigning for Harris to keep Donald Trump from returning to the Oval Office. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] And at a Harris campaign event Monday in Malvern, Penn.—a town in a key suburban voting district in a crucial battleground state—Cheney explicitly carved out a path for her fellow “pro-life” Republicans to reject Trump. “There are many of us around the country who have been pro-life but who have watched what’s going on in our states since the Dobbs decision and have watched state legislatures put in place laws that are resulting in women not getting the care they need,” Cheney said.

Politico: “As early voting has begun in North Carolina — drawing record-setting statewide turnout on Thursday — and the process of restoring water, electricity, road access and mail service is underway, both parties have resumed some of their campaign activities in the affected areas.” “Early GOP concerns that depressed turnout in the red-leaning region could cost Trump in the southern battleground have largely been replaced by resolve to mobilize his supporters to the polls, according to interviews with more than a dozen Republican campaign officials, operatives and county party chairs working in the state.”

Donald Trump on Monday said he would be in favor of Congress returning early from recess to pass additional aid following Hurricane Helene, The Hill reports. Said Trump: “I would be in favor of it, yeah. This is a very unusual situation, and I would be in favor of it.”

Same socialist who wrecked the island in the first place, still on the job creating blackouts and demonstrating incompetence at age 92. Life is good for Castro oligarchs.

I’m old enough to remember when the Times, although leftist, had a certain gravitas and some self-respect.
