WASHINGTON – If Donald Trump is reelected to a second term in the White House, he would return to Washington with very different relationships than when he left the nation's capital in January 2021.
At the end of his first term, his standing among GOP lawmakers was precarious: The Jan. 6, 2021 riot at the U.S. Capitol building led to condemnations from both sides of the aisle and his historic second impeachment. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., delivered a scathing floor speech after Trump's Senate trial saying the lame duck president was "practically and morally responsible" for the riot, and

When Donald Trump lost to Joe Biden in 2020, it seemed to be the death knell of his political career.
His first term in office ended in chaos and condemnation - even from members of his own party.
If he wins the election on Tuesday, it will be only the second time anyone has ever returned to the White House after previously losing a presidential re-election bid.
“He gets knocked down and gets up twice as focused,” said Bryan Lanza, who has been a political adviser for the former president since Trump launched his 2016 campaign. “I don't think anybody should be surprised about this comeback.”

The New York Times’ chief political analyst warned Sunday that pollsters may not have solved the underlying issues they encountered in 2016 and 2020 and could once again be underestimating Donald Trump.
Times scribe Nate Cohn, while cautioning on X that he has “no idea whether our polls (or any polls) polls [are] ‘right,’ ” explained that inescapable survey bias may be spoiling the results because Democrats dramatically outpace white Republicans, a Trump voting bastion, when it comes to answering pollsters.
“Four years ago, the polls were thought to underestimate Mr. Trump because of nonresponse bias — in which his supporters were less likely to take

One of the United States’ foremost white supremacists is urging his followers to support Vice President Harris in the presidential election next week.
Richard Spencer, an avowed racist, antisemite and admirer of Nazism who coined the term “alt-right” and was a featured speaker when he took part in the deadly 2017 rally in Charlottesville, Va., called Harris the “best manager of the American empire.”
Spencer — who also gained international recognition after yelling “Hail Trump! Hail our people!” and being greeted with Nazi salutes during a white nationalist event in November 2016 — also condemned former President Trump’s strong support of Israel.

I warned you about suppression polls, and the mother of all suppression polls appears to have just dropped.
And it's not even from a swing state.
The latest Des Moines Register/Mediacom poll just dropped, and it claims that Kamala Harris has a three-point lead in Iowa.
"Kamala Harris now leads Donald Trump in Iowa — a startling reversal for Democrats and Republicans who have all but written off the state’s presidential contest as a certain Trump victory," the Des Moines Register reports. "A new Des Moines Register/Mediacom Iowa Poll shows Vice President Harris leading former

Crowds swelled on Saturday at former President Donald Trump’s rally in Salem, Virginia, a state that leans toward Vice President Kamala Harris.
The former president’s visit to the Old Dominion suggest the Trump campaign believes it might be able to win the state.
If Trump wins the state, he will likely cruise to an Electoral College victory.
Trump is within two points of Harris (48-46 percent), a recent Rasmussen Reports poll found.
Trump lost the state in 2016 and 2020 by 5.3 percent and 10.1 percent, respectively.
“I think we have a really good chance to win the popular vote…in other words, we are gonna win!” Trump told attendees. “Remember this,

Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) told podcaster Joe Rogan that former President Donald Trump continues to connect with people in his home state of Pennsylvania in a different way from previous Republican candidates.
Political prognosticators have pointed to Pennsylvania as being critical to Vice President Kamala Harris’ pathway to 270 electoral college votes as the public heads to the polls next week.
However, Democrat Senator John Fetterman has warned that former President Donald Trump’s economically populist message continues to resonate in the heartland of the Rust Belt state, an area which has been ravaged by globalist policies of deindustrialization and offshoring

Top Republicans believe that former President Donald Trump is fueling high turnout in down-ballot New York House races, sources familiar exclusively told Breitbart News.
Battleground races in New York could decide the balance of power in the House. In 2022, New York Republican victories enabled the GOP to clench control of the chamber. If Republicans defeat Democrats in 2024 and retain their seats, the party will have a strong chance of retaining a House majority.
All GOP-targeted districts have so far outperformed their historical 2022 turnout margins by as much as 50 percent,

Former President Donald Trump is leading Vice President Kamala Harris in Iowa by more than 10 percent, according to a recent poll.
An Emerson College poll conducted between November 1-2, 2024, which surveyed 800 likely voters in Iowa, found that 53 percent of respondents expressed support for Trump, while 43 percent of respondents expressed support for Harris.
The poll also found that Harris performed better with “voters under 30,” with 54 percent supporting her, while 46 percent supported Trump. Trump was found to be leading “among all other age groups over 30 with varied support between six percentage points and 23 points,” according to the poll.

Mark Halperin is probably familiar to most of our readers. He was at ABC News and then moved over to MSNBC in 2010 where he became a regular analyst on Morning Joe and other shows.
Looking over his Wikipedia page, Halperin was always a bit controversial at MSNBC, including the fact that he predicted it was possible Trump might win in 2016 (he was obviously right about that). But Halperin's career crumbled in 2017 when five women accused him of sexual harassment. That number climbed to more than a dozen by the next day but Halperin had already been let go by NBC.

LATROBE, Pennsylvania — “If we win Pennsylvania, we win the whole damn thing.”
Two weeks ago, former President Donald Trump announced these words to rallygoers in this Westmoreland County town at a packed event, which included several former Pittsburgh Steelers taking the stage to endorse him and steelworkers as well, who even got the former president to put on a hard hat that ruffled his hair. It was a statement that made the thousands of supporters, most of which were young, go understandably wild with emotion. Many of the attendees I spoke to were young women, many of them mothers with their children, who could not wait to vote

Future Forward, a pro-Harris group, acknowledged that Vice President Kamala Harris has a 51 percent chance of losing the presidential election, according to internal documents obtained by the Washington Post.
The forecast, updated from a previous October 24 prediction that contended Harris had a 63 percent chance of losing, is predicated on the assumption that late-breaking undecided voters will favor Harris, a tact that directly contradicts the Trump campaign.
“It’s helpful, from experience, to be closing a Presidential campaign with late deciding voters breaking by double digits to you and the remaining undecideds looking more friendly to you than your opponent,
