    Report: Top Democrats Hesitant To Commit To Certifying Potential Trump Victory

    Several top Democrats, including House Oversight Committee Ranking Member Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), have indicated that they may not commit to certifying the 2024 presidential election results if former President Donald Trump secures a victory. This reluctance was revealed during discussions with Axios, raising questions about the party’s stance on the upcoming election certification process.

    Per Breitbart:

    Raskin denied Trump won the 2016 election when he objected to Trump’s electors in 2017.

    If Trump “won a free, fair and honest election, then we would obviously accept it,” Raskin said, assuming the election was free, fair and honest. “I definitely don’t assume that,” he added. “Democrats don’t engage in election fraud and election fabrication.”

    A video surfaced in September of a panel discussion in February 2024 in which Raskin speculated that Congress would invalidate a Trump election victory, even though it could be at the risk of “civil war.”

    “It is not clear whether Raskin was actually outlining a plan of action, or rather using a hypothetical to argue that the U.S. Supreme Court was placing what he considered an undue burden on Congress to keep Trump out of office,” Breitbart News’s Joel Pollak reported.

    House Rules Committee Ranking Member Jim McGovern (D-Mass.) echoed Raskin’s concerns, telling Axios that Democrats would certify a Trump victory “assuming everything goes the way we expect it to … We have to see how it all happens.”

    McGovern also objected to Trump’s electors in 2017.

    The uncertainty among Democrats comes amid heightened political tension with 24 days until the presidential election. Raskin, who has been an outspoken critic of Trump, previously called the former president’s legacy “American carnage.”

    In response to Thursday’s development, former Department of Justice official Jeffrey Clark criticized the Democrats’ position. Taking to X, Clark expressed frustration with what he sees as a double standard in how objections to election certifications are perceived:

    Do you see how this works? If you’re a Republican in Congress and you object to certifying a President, you’re called an insurrectionist. But if you’re a Democrat like Jamie Raskin, you can object all you want, and it’s “protecting our democracy.”

    Election certification has been a contentious issue since the unfounded claims of widespread fraud in the 2020 presidential race, with Democrats consistently emphasizing the need to safeguard democracy. However, their reluctance to fully commit to certifying a potential Trump win could deepen mistrust on both sides of the political aisle.

    Harris Rally Descends Into Chaos As Attendees Suffer Medical Emergencies

      Yikes…

      Several attendees at Vice President Kamala Harris’s “extremely hot” campaign rally in Chandler, Arizona on Thursday passed out and threw up as a result of the heat.

      “It is extremely hot inside Harris’s Chandler rally,” reported Washington Post campaign reporter Dylan Wells. “Lots of calls for medics as attendees pass out, and a supporter throwing up near the press pen.”

      Before the event began, supporters of Harris could be seen lining up outside in more than 100 degrees Fahrenheit heat.

      Inside the rally, footage showed attendees frantically fanning themselves with papers and other items as they waited for Harris to take the stage.

      According to Daily Wire investigative journalist Spencer Lindquist, “Several attendees had to be escorted out by medics during the rally and appeared to be suffering from heatstroke or dehydration,” as the temperature in Chandler reached a height of 103 degrees.

      The Arizona Republic reported that Harris volunteers “walked around with cases of water for rally-goers and checked to see if they needed any medical attention, although most in line were unbothered by the heat as they made their way relatively quickly through the queue.”

      The disastrous night shows a stark comparison from an outdoor Trump rally over the summer in which attendees also waited in blistering heat.

      The event at the North Carolina Aviation Museum & Hall of Fame in Asheboro, marked the Republican presidential candidate’s first outdoor event since a would-be assassin shot and wounded him at rally in Butler, Pennsylvania earlier this year.

      A woman apparently had passed out in the stands, perhaps due to heat exposure, and Trump left the stage, where he was surrounded by bulletproof glass, to check on her.

      Emergency medical personnel were treating the woman, who looked red in the face. She was conscious at that point and holding a bottle of water.

      Trump gave her a hug, and she seemed very pleased to meet him.

      There had been calls for a medic from the crowd, which Trump had acknowledged from the stage, asking for “a doctor, please.”

      “It is very hot here,” he said.

        Exciting news…

        On Thursday, former President Donald Trump revealed his daughter Tiffany Trump is pregnant.

        Trump was delivering remarks at the Detroit Economic Club when he recognized several guests in the crowd, including businessman Massad Boulos, who is Tiffany Trump’s father-in-law.

        “He happens to be the father of Tiffany’s husband, Michael, who’s a very exceptional young guy,” Trump said. “And she’s an exceptional young woman. And she’s going to have a baby. So that’s nice.”

        Tiffany Trump, 30, is the daughter of the former president and Marla Maples. She and Boulos were married in 2022.

        Trump Denies Secret Putin Calls Made After Leaving White House

          Trump is firmly denying allegations in veteran journalist Bob Woodward’s new book.

          In his new book, Woodward claims the Republican presidential nominee has held multiple phone calls with Russian President Vladimir Putin since leaving office in January 2021.

          Woodward also wrote in his book, ‘War,’ that Trump agreed to secretly send Putin COVID-19 testing equipment. 

          Steven Cheung, the communications director for the Trump campaign, told The Hill in a statement that “None of these made up stories by Bob Woodward are true,” and said that Trump gave no access to the journalist for the latest book, as Trump had for past books.

          Cheung attacked Woodward’s mental fitness in the statement saying he “suffers from a debilitating case of Trump Derangement Syndrome.”

          The spokesperson further pointed to Trump’s lawsuit against Woodward, in which the former president seeking $50 million from the veteran journalist over his publication of tapes of interviews he conducted with Trump while he was in office between Dec. 2019 and Aug. 2020, which featured in the 2020 book ‘Rage.’

          Woodward wrote that according to Trump’s aides, there have been as many as seven phone calls between Trump and Putin since Trump left the White House in 2021, according to CNN.

          Woodward also cited Trump aide Jason Miller as not being aware of any calls between Trump and Putin, but added that President Biden’s Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines did not conclusively rule out contacts between the Russian leader and the former president. 

          “I would not purport to be aware of all contacts with Putin. I wouldn’t purport to speak to what President Trump may or may not have done,” Haines said, according to Woodward.

          Trump Reveals Details Of When Barron Learned Of Assassination Attempt

            The details are coming out…

            Former President Trump said his youngest son, Barron, was playing tennis when he learned in July that his father had been shot at a rally in Pennsylvania.

            Trump recounted the experience in a sit-down interview with Fox News’s “The Ingraham Angle” this weekend, when he returned to the site of the assassination attempt this summer. The interview will air in full Monday evening and a preview was released earlier in the day.

            “Barron was playing tennis with his friends, and somebody walked over and – ran over – and said, ‘Your father’s been shot. He’s been shot,’” Trump said in the interview preview.

            “Barron, and Barron really likes his father a lot,” Trump continued.

            “And he came in: ‘Mom, Mom, Mom, what happened?’ So, and then they saw me get up, and then they saw the fist pump,” Trump said, referring to the viral image taken just moments after he was shot of him raising his fist in the air.

            Trump returned to Butler, Pa. this weekend for the first time since the assassination attempt nearly three months ago.

            Trump, on Saturday, was joined at his return rally by several high-profile guests, including his running mate, Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio), Republican National Committee Co-Chair Lara Trump and tech billionaire Elon Musk.

            Trump Goes Off After Judge Releases Lengthy Election Subversion Case Brief

              On Wednesday, Donald Trump spoke out after a federal judge in Washington, D.C., publicly released a brief on presidential immunity from special counsel Jack Smith in the 2020 election subversion case against the former president.

              In a flurry of posts to Truth Social, Trump warned of election interference, arguing that the filing’s appearance on the public docket so close to the 2024 contest boosts a political scheme to undermine his current campaign.

              “Democrats are Weaponizing the Justice Department against me because they know I am WINNING, and they are desperate to prop up their failing Candidate, Kamala Harris,” Trump said in a post to his social media platform.

              He also questioned the timing, contending that it came “immediately” after Minnesota Democratic Gov. Tim Walz’s “disastrous” performance in the vice presidential debate and a little more than a month before the election.

              The filing was submitted under seal last week. Federal judge Tanya Chutkan was the one who ordered its release.

              Chutkan wrote Trump’s team provided “no support” to claims of “bad-faith partisan bias” and rejected the defense’s push for redactions beyond names to protect witnesses, citing the public’s “need to understand” the document.

              The 165-page filing discusses how prosecutors’ superseding indictment should be able to abide by the Supreme Court’s ruling in July that presidents have immunity for official acts.

              Melania Trump Unveils Unexpected Abortion Stance

                Former First Lady Melania Trump is breaking with her husband on a major issue: abortion.

                In a video posted on X promoting her upcoming memoir, Trump announced her pro-abortion views saying “there is no room for compromise” on the issue of women being allowed to abort their unborn children.

                Melania said she has “carried” her pro-abortion views “throughout [her] entire adult life,” a break from her husband’s pro-life record while he was in office. Her remarks on abortion come less than five weeks before the 2024 election as Democrats are focusing on the issue to motivate their base.

                Paragraphs of Melania’s memoir published by The Guardian on Wednesday go into more detail on her support for abortion.

                “Why should anyone other than the woman herself have the power to determine what she does with her own body? A woman’s fundamental right of individual liberty, to her own life, grants her the authority to terminate her pregnancy if she wishes,” Melania writes, adding, “Restricting a woman’s right to choose whether to terminate an unwanted pregnancy is the same as denying her control over her own body. I have carried this belief with me throughout my entire adult life.”

                In her book, Melania writes about disagreements between her and her husband, including on some aspects of immigration policy, The Guardian reported. She writes that “occasional political disagreements between me and my husband” are “part of our relationship, but I believed in addressing them privately rather than publicly challenging him.”

                Trump Responds To Harris’ Debate Invite After VP Showdown

                  Not going to happen…

                  Donald Trump firmly rejected another invitation to participate in a debate against Vice President Kamala Harris before the 2024 election on Tuesday.

                  “Vice President Harris believes that the American people deserve to see her and Trump on the debate stage one more time. She will be in Atlanta on October 23 — Donald Trump should step up and face the voters,” Harris campaign chair Jen O’Malley Dillon said in a statement, referencing a CNN debate Harris has agreed to attend.

                  But Trump has repeatedly rejected the idea of doing another debate with the vice president. He has insisted he won their Sept. 10 showdown, despite some polling suggesting otherwise, and that it is too late for another debate with early voting underway.

                  “I beat Biden, I then beat her, and I’m not looking to do it again, too far down the line,” Trump posted on Truth Social. “Votes are already cast — And I’m leading BIG in the Polls. I’ll MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, she’s incapable of it!”

                  Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance narrowly beat his Democratic opponent Tim Walz in the CBS debate on Tuesday, according to viewer polls conducted by CBS and CNN.

                  According to a poll conducted by CBS and YouGov, 42% of viewers said Vance won the debate versus 41% who said Walz was the winner. 17% of viewers said the debate was a tie.

                  An overwhelming majority of viewers (88%) said the “tone” of the debate was “generally positive,” while 12% said it was “generally negative.”

                  CNN’s poll resulted in a very similar result, with 51% of viewers hailing Vance as the winner versus 49% for Walz.

                  Walz’s performance fell short of viewer expectations, as 54% had predicted a Walz victory before the debate versus just 45% for Vance.

                    What will Democrats do?

                    Iran has reportedly launched ballistic missiles at Israel in retaliation for its intensified military campaign against Hezbollah and the recent invasion of Southern Lebanon. In response, Israel’s “Arrow-2” and “Arrow-3” anti-ballistic missile defense systems have been activated, with interceptors reported launching across Central Israel.

                    In a statement released mid-morning on Tuesday, the White House said it had “indications that Iran is preparing to imminently launch a ballistic missile attack against Israel,” adding the United States was “actively supporting defensive preparations to defend Israel against this attack.”

                    “A direct military attack from Iran against Israel will carry severe consequences for Iran,” a senior White House official said in a statement.

                    Israel predicted that Iran was likely to attack three Israeli air bases and an intelligence base located just north of Tel Aviv, a person briefed on the matter said.

                    The intelligence base in Glilot was reportedly evacuated Tuesday afternoon and the Israeli military has put contingency plans for the safety of personnel at those bases into effect.

                    Before Tuesday’s attack, Donald Trump released a lengthy statement.

                    Read the full statement below:

                    “The World is on fire and spiraling out of control. We have no leadership, no one running the Country. We have a non-existent President in Joe Biden, and a completely absent Vice President, Kamala Harris, who is too busy fundraising in San Francisco, a City which she and Gavin Newscum totally destroyed, and staging fake photo ops. No one is in charge and it’s not even clear who is more confused: Biden or Kamala. Neither has any idea what is even going on.

                    When I was President, Iran was in total check. They were starved for cash, fully contained, and desperate to make a deal. Kamala flooded them with American cash and, ever since, they’ve been exporting terror all over, and unraveling the Middle East.

                    Under ‘President Trump,’ we had NO WAR in the Middle East, NO WAR in Europe, and Harmony in Asia, No Inflation, No Afghanistan Catastrophe. Instead, we had PEACE. Now, War or the threat of War, is raging everywhere, and the two Incompetents running this Country are leading us to the brink of World War III. You wouldn’t trust Joe or Kamala to run a lemonade stand, let alone lead the Free World.

                    It is no surprise that Iran desperately wants Kamala Harris to be President, because they know as long as she is in power, they can take advantage of America. That is why they have tried to target me.

                    If I was in charge, October 7th never happens, Russia/Ukraine never happens, Afghanistan Botched Withdrawal never happens, and Inflation never happens. If I win, we will have peace in the World again. If Kamala gets 4 more years, the World goes up in smoke.”

                    Harris Campaign’s Endorsement By Fake Police Group Raises Astroturf Concerns

                    As Vice President Kamala Harris continues her campaign, avoiding direct interviews and carefully selecting debate settings, questions about the authenticity of her support base are growing. The latest example is the endorsement from a group called “Police Leaders for Community Safety,” which Harris’s campaign and media outlets touted as a “stunning endorsement” from a group that typically backs Trump.

                    However, scrutiny reveals that the group is far from a major law enforcement organization. USA Today notes that “Police Leaders for Community Safety” was only formed in 2024, describes itself as representing “dozens of police officials,” and is led by Sue Riseling, a former chief of the University of Wisconsin-Madison Police Department. The group is primarily composed of former law enforcement members, many of whom lean left politically.

                    The newspaper explained that “as the group has only been around since June, this marks the first endorsement for Police Leaders for Community Safety, with the group throwing their support for Harris.”

                    The group’s announcement to Fox News, however, failed to share that information:

                    The organization – which says it is led by a diverse group of prominent police professionals who have been at the helm of numerous major national law enforcement leadership groups – highlights that its mission is to champion “policies to make communities and the people in them safer, improve and evolve policing, and safeguard the rule of law.”

                    Photo via Gage Skidmore Flickr

                    “This endorsement reflects Vice President Harris’ track record and unwavering commitment to public safety and the rule of law,” Sue Riseling, chair of Police Leaders for Community Safety, said.

                    Police Leaders for Community Safety board member David Mahoney, a former Dane County, Wisconsin, sheriff and past president of the National Sheriffs’ Association, said that Harris “spent her prosecutorial career protecting people, supporting victims and holding accountable those who have harmed others and betrayed the public trust. As a lawmaker, she has fought hard for the critical law enforcement-backed policies needed to fight crime and protect the public.”

                    Critics have accused the Harris campaign of astroturfing, creating a façade of grassroots support by highlighting endorsements from groups with little influence in the law enforcement community. This comes in stark contrast to Donald Trump’s endorsement from the National Fraternal Order of Police (FOP), the nation’s oldest and most influential law enforcement organization, which has supported Trump in the last three elections.

                    FOP President Patrick Yoes emphasized the importance of public safety and border security, stating that Trump’s policies align with the values of law enforcement officers across the country.
