‘Hay’ is used in the sense of something unimportant that is now being elevated for reasons of bad publicity. It isn’t necessarily false news but a promotion of a small matter into a big factor.

Election 2024 recap: Eyes on Texas as Trump pit stops in Austin; Harris in Houston
Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump have spent months courting pivotal swing state voters that could ultimately decide the election. On Friday, Trump will return to one of those states, holding a rally in Traverse City, Michigan. He'll also sit for an interview with Joe Rogan on his mega-popular podcast. Harris is set to appear at a rally in Houston, Texas, on Friday. The Lone Star State's widely expected to ultimately vote for Trump, but the vice president is expected to take the stage with Beyoncé to support Democratic Senate candidate Colin Allred, who is trying to unseat Republican Sen. Ted Cruz.

Ex-House Speaker Kevin McCarthy emerges as dark horse candidate for Trump chief of staff role
The ousted former speaker of the House of Representatives is widely seen as a top contender to be former President Donald Trump’s first chief of staff if he retakes the White House following the Nov. 5 election, according to sources familiar with the deliberations. No final decision has been made and there is no sign that McCarthy is campaigning for the coveted role — though one person said the Californian has shown openness to being part of a second Trump administration in some capacity.

Wayne Allyn Root and Kari Lake push conspiracy theory that opponent’s campaign is funded by “the Mexican drug cartel”
Right-wing conspiracy theorist Wayne Allyn Root claimed during an interview with Arizona Republican Senate nominee Kari Lake that opponent Ruben Gallego’s campaign is getting “their money” from Mexican cartels through his estranged father. Lake replied: “Yep, absolutely. The cartels are in operational control here in Arizona.” The conspiracy theory is false. After Lake made similar remarks on Newsmax with right-wing host Greg Kelly last month, PolitiFact examined the claims and wrote: “Gallego’s father has been largely absent from Gallego’s life since Gallego was in junior high school and his parents divorced” and “there’s no evidence that Gallego has ‘links to the cartel’ because of his father’s criminal history. Lake’s campaign provided no evidence to support that claim.” (Media Matters 10/23/24) READ MORE>>>>>

Giuliani assets will transfer to Georgia election workers he defamed
A federal judge has ordered former Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani to place numerous assets, including cash, jewelry and his New York apartment, into a receivership controlled by two former Georgia election workers as they seek to collect a $148 million defamation claim against him. The 24-page ruling issued Tuesday orders Giuliani to place the assets into a receivership within seven days. But U.S. District Court Judge Lewis J. Liman of New York ordered the “immediate turnover” of Giuliani’s apartment on the Upper East Side, which is already for sale. Liman also orders Giuliani to take legal steps that would allow the election workers, Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, to seek an estimated $2 million in legal fees that Giuliani has said he is owed by Donald Trump’s campaign organization and the Republican National Committee for his work leading Trump’s post-2020 election legal challenges.

Exclusive: Trump ground game in key states flagged as potentially fake
Donald Trump’s campaign may be failing to reach thousands of voters they hope to turn out in Arizona and Nevada, with roughly a quarter of door-knocks done by America Pac flagged by its canvassing app as potentially fraudulent, according to leaked data and people familiar with the matter. The potentially fake door-knocks – when canvassers falsely claim they visited a home – could present a serious setback to Trump as he and Kamala Harris remain even in the polls with fewer than 20 days to an election that increasingly appears set to be determined by turnout. The Trump campaign earlier this year outsourced the bulk of its ground game to America Pac, the political action committee founded by Musk, betting that spending millions to turn out Trump supporters, especially those who don’t typically vote, would boost returns.

Could the once united Trump family be fading in this election?
In late afternoon sunshine, Eric Trump shook his fist and led chants of “Fight! Fight! Fight!” The second son of Donald Trump told a fervent crowd: “They tried to smear us, they tried to bankrupt us, they came after us, they impeached him twice … then, guys, they tried to kill him.” A who’s who of the Maga movement had gathered for a Trump campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, less than three months after the Republican presidential nominee survived an assassination attempt there. Trump was joined on stage by running mate JD Vance and billionaire Elon Musk. But if he was looking for moral support from his family, he would have to settle for Eric. His other children – and his wife – were notably absent. The no-shows at Trump’s recent marquee event were indicative of a divided family keeping a lower profile than in past election cycles. When he took the political establishment by storm in 2016, the Trump family business was part of his brand. This time, at campaign stops where he gives disjointed and demagogic speeches, he cuts a more isolated figure.

Harris works to energize Black male voters and denounces Trump support of 'stop and frisk'
Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris warned Tuesday that Republican Donald Trump would try to “institutionalize” harsh policing tactics that disproportionately affect Black men nationwide as she promised to push for legislation to address discriminatory law enforcement practices. During an hourlong radio town hall moderated by Charlamagne tha God, host of “The Breakfast Club” show, Harris added that she would work to decriminalize marijuana, which accounts for arrests that also disproportionately impact Black men, and she acknowledged that racial disparities and bias exist in everyday life for Black people — in home ownership, health care, economic prosperity and even voting. While Harris worked to energize Black men in battleground Michigan, Trump focused on women as he faced an all-female audience during a Fox News town hall in swing-state Georgia. The former president sidestepped questions about the erosion of abortion rights under his watch, leaning instead into the nation’s culture wars by vowing to ban male-born athletes from competing in women’s sports.

Opinion Trump wants to take back manufacturing jobs. It won’t work.
“Foreign nations will be worried about losing their jobs to America,” former president Donald Trump declared at a rally in Savannah, Ga., last month, promising a “manufacturing renaissance” by walling off U.S. markets with high tariffs and punishing American companies that make stuff overseas. This sort of statement, based in nostalgia for past economic paradigms in which large numbers of American blue-collar workers manufactured many of the world’s goods, no longer just sounds out of place in American politics. It is also a fantasy. The idea that a bunch of countries (or one big Asian country, China) are hoarding industrial jobs that rightfully belong to the United States rests on a misunderstanding of the dynamics shaping manufacturing around the globe. The United States did not lose jobs primarily to countries with cheaper labor. It lost them, mostly, to technology.

Upon stepping down in September 2023 after more than 40 years in the military, Milley laid out his apparent concerns about Trump in a pointed retirement speech. “We don’t take an oath to a king, or a queen, to a tyrant or dictator or wannabe dictator,” he said.

But ahead of November, the latter party is counting on a wild card to increase their influence in the Sunshine State— Black voters. During the last election cycle, during the 2022 midterms, Black voter turnout was down significantly. In fact, that year showed one of the lowest Black voter turnout across the country, with 10.9% of voters being Black compared to 73% being white, according to Brookings. But this year, Florida Democrats expect a different story, primarily thanks to Vice President Kamala Harris being at the helm of the ticket, which could help down-ballot contests get more support
