Kamala Harris takes a five-point lead over Donald Trump in the 2024 race

Kamala Harris is five points ahead of Donald Trump in a post-Democratic National Convention poll.

And only one in 10 voters say they are either undecided or might change their mind before Election Day in November.

The latest polling was conducted among 1,000 likely voters August 25-28, the week after the Democratic National Convention in Chicago resulted in Harris’ nomination for president.

ABC News is hosting the first debate between Harris and Trump on September 10 in Philadelphia. The CNN debate between Trump and Biden earlier this summer is what sunk the president’s reelection bid.

Kamala Harris’ campaign has launched a ‘Fighting for Reproductive Freedom’ bus tour in Donald Trump’s backyard.

The Democratic candidate is sending a flurry of surrogates on the road to keep reproductive rights in the spotlight, an issue that has proven a winning one in motivating Democratic voters, especially women.

The first stop will be Palm Beach, Fla., where Trump’s presidential campaign is headquartered and where his Mar-a-Lago home is located.

Harris’ campaign has hammered Trump for the crackdown in reproductive rights across the nation after the Supreme Court overturned Roe vs. Wade.

From Palm Beach, the bus will travel to Jacksonville and then make at least 50 stops in key states throughout the fall.

Tuesday’s tour stops will feature Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar, Harris-Walz campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez, Florida Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Republican TV personality Ana Navarro, and reproductive rights storyteller Anya Cook.

Trump said last week he would vote to support Florida’s ballot measure that would outlaw abortions after the six-week mark. At that point many women do not yet know they are pregnant.

Bill Clinton’s 1992 campaign head is now telling Vice President Kamala Harris what she needs to do to win in November – and it’s not by promising four more years of the same administration as Joe Biden.

James Carville, who now consults with a Democratic Super PAC and hosts Politics War Room, told Harris her biggest ‘political advantage’ is that the public has already made up their mind about Donald Trump.

Trump’s approval rating has never much strayed from the mid- to low 40s for nearly a decade. No matter his divisive policies, Covid, the indictments, who his No. 2 was or whatever bile he spewed on social media, the jury of public opinion on Donald Trump is settled.

He noted that Clinton won in 1992 with a ‘message of change versus more of the same’ and Barack Obama won in 2008 with the ‘audacity of hope.’

Even Trump, Carville noted, won in 2016 ‘on a blank promise to revive a relic of America.’

2024 will be won by who is fresh and who is rotten. It’s quite simple: The shepherd of tomorrow wins the sheep.

Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo will face questioning from Congress over his disastrous handling of nursing homes during the COVID pandemic.

House Select Committee on the Coronavirus Chairman Brad Wenstrup, R-Ohio, told DailyMail.com:

Andrew Cuomo owes answers to the 15,000 families who lost loved ones in New York’s nursing homes during the COVID-19 pandemic.

On September 10, Americans will have the opportunity to hear directly from the former governor about New York’s potentially fatal nursing home policies.

During closed-door testimony, Mr. Cuomo was shockingly callous when pressed to explain discrepancies in nursing home death counts, repeatedly deflected responsibility for the nursing home directive, and most egregiously, showed little remorse for the thousands of lives lost. A true leader owns up to his mistakes and takes responsibility for wrongdoing.

That is not what we saw from Mr. Cuomo during his term as governor nor during his transcribed interview. We hope that during his public hearing next week, Mr. Cuomo will stop dodging accountability and honestly answer the American people.

Kamala Harris is facing more allegations of flip-flopping, but this time it’s with her voice.

Critics claim the vice president nominee used a ‘fake accent’ when speaking to a teachers union during a swing state campaign push in Michigan on Monday.

Social media erupted with accusations the Democratic presidential candidate altered her voice during the remarks praising teachers union members at a Detroit high school.

Harris has faced allegations and mockery of allegedly using different accents before, and the claims, and they are now emerging with just two months until election day.

‘New Kamala accent just dropped,’ one X user wrote in response to a clip of Harris speaking to a teacher’s union at a high school in Detroit on Monday.

In her remarks, social media users claim that Harris adopted an urban accent to relate to the working class crowd.

‘You may not be a union member but you better thank a union member for the five day work week,’ Harris said in a tone of voice atypical of the one she uses in her usual stump speeches.

Donald Trump has opened up a lead over Kamala Harris in the betting markets after the vice president had been gaining momentum on her Republican rival.

Trump now has a 49.7% chance of winning, leading Harris by 0.9 percentage points, according to Real Clear Polling, which aggregates half a dozen gambling sources on the election. It is Trump’s first lead in the betting odds since August 22 – and comes despite polling that largely backs Harris to take the White House.

The pair were tied as recently as August 31, after Harris had come from just a 29% chance on July 21, the day Joe Biden dropped out of the race.

Harris later surged to an 8.8 percentage point lead over Trump in the betting average on August 15 before the pair slipped back to neck and neck. Harris’ last clear lead over Trump was following the Democratic convention in Chicago when she opened up a 2.3 percentage point gap.

That momentum has since been stifled, with gamblers apparently unmoved by Harris’ performance during her CNN interview last week, which did little to impress her naysayers and even earned criticism from Democrat voters.
