KAMALA CONFIRMS SHE IS JOE BIDEN – On her Tuesday appearance on The View, Kamala Harris was asked, “If anything, would you have done something differently than President Biden during the past four years?”


Kamala responded, “There is not a thing that comes to mind...I’ve been a part of most of the decisions that have had impact.”



Over 60 percent of voters say the nation is on the wrong track due to the decisions Kamala has been a part of. That includes her role as the “border czar,” her deciding votes to raise taxes and fuel inflation, and her disastrous role in the failed foreign policy of the Harris-Biden administration.


Kamala Harris has no regrets for supporting inflationary spending, open borders, and weakness abroad. If you’re a voter who wants to turn the page from Joe Biden's failed economy, open border, and global chaos then Kamala Harris is not the candidate for you.

PRESIDENT TRUMP’S PLAN TO PROTECT OUR GREAT SENIORS – Today, Kamala Harris announced a policy related to home care for seniors – once again following President Trump's lead.


 Team Trump has the facts:


This summer, President Trump outlined his platform to Make America Great Again — which includes his commitment to America's seniors receiving at-home care.

  • Specifically, President Trump will prioritize home care benefits by shifting resources back to at-home senior care, overturning disincentives that lead to care worker shortages, and supporting unpaid family caregivers through tax credits and reduced red tape.

That builds on President Trump's first term achievements for seniors receiving at-home care.

  • The Trump administration provided new Medicare Advantage supplemental benefits that included modifications to help keep seniors safe in their homes, respite care for caregivers, transportation coverage, additional in-home support services and assistance, and non-opioid pain management alternatives.

Of course, part of President Trump's mission will be to undo the devastation the Harris-Biden administration has unleashed on seniors:

  • Under Kamala, seniors saw the largest ever Medicare Part B premium increase.
  • Many seniors are delaying retirement amid rampant inflation as they struggle to afford basic necessities and groceries.
  • Almost half of older Americans say they've had to spend their emergency savings to make ends meet.
  • Medicare Part D drug costs are "substantially higher" in 2024, while the average monthly Part D premium increased 21% over the past year.
  • Resident fees at independent living facilities have gone up 4.4% over the past year, while the cost of nursing homes and adult daycare facilities have jumped 4.8% over the past year.

By prioritizing at-home care — as well as protecting Social Security and Medicare and ENDING taxes on seniors' Social Security — President Trump will make good on the promise that seniors should be able to live their golden years with dignity.


That's in stark contrast to the failed, far-left policies that have forced seniors out of retirement as they struggle to get by. President Trump will reverse the decline and safeguard a prosperous future for our Great Seniors and all American families.

TEAMSTER FOR TRUMP – As reported by the New York Post, “Teamsters president Sean O’Brien raged in a podcast interview that Democrats “f–ked us over for the last 40 years” — after a poll showed rank-and-file union members planned to overwhelmingly back Republican Donald Trump in the Nov. 5 election.”

 

In the words of O’Brien, “I’ll be honest with you, I’m a Democrat, but they have f–ked us over for the last 40 years…And for once, and not all of them, but for once, we’re standing up as a union, probably the only one right now, saying, ‘What the f–k have you done for us? …. And I’m getting attacked from the left and we’ve given – since I’ve been in office, two and a half years, we’ve given the Democratic machine $15.7 million. We’ve given Republicans about $340,000, truth be told. So it’s like, you know, people say the Democratic Party is the party of the working people. They’re bought and paid for by Big Tech.”



President Trump has the plan to put American workers first, and not only return our country to the economic prosperity of his term, but to also end taxes on tips, overtime, and Social Security for our seniors, while ensuring that companies make their products in America or pay a tariff.

BIDEN-HARRIS MISMANAGED HURRICANE HELENE” – Future Vice President JD Vance is out with a new op-ed calling out the Biden-Harris failures on Hurricane Helene.


From the op-ed:

  • “Shortly after Helene made landfall in the U.S. on Sept. 26, Joe Biden was at his house in Rehoboth Beach, Del. Vice President Kamala Harris was flying between ritzy California fundraisers, hobnobbing with celebrities. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas was in Los Angeles, presiding over an awards ceremony. Before the storm, Ms. Harris had blown off her disaster-response briefings, which were a staple of the Trump administration’s disaster-response planning. The lack of prioritization had real-world ramifications.”
  • “While Ms. Harris and Mr. Biden flouted their duties, a bureaucratic bottleneck was delaying the deployment of active-duty military personnel to the western mountains of North Carolina. On Oct. 2, six days after the storm made landfall, the Defense Department announced that 1,000 troops had been authorized to deploy to the hurricane-response zone, including elements of the 82nd Airborne Division from Fort Liberty, N.C. These troops bring with them debris-clearing and water-purification equipment—critical resources for communities with blocked roads and orders to boil drinking water. As evening fell on Friday, Oct. 4, fewer than half of the 1,000 troops were conducting operations and deployed to Western North Carolina.” 
  • “In disaster response, every second counts. A week went by while the citizens of North Carolina suffered without the equipment and soldiers needed to save lives and begin recovery. This is the sort of bureaucratic hiccup that engaged political leaders solve. A competent leader would have ordered those men and women into motion earlier, bureaucracy be damned. Ms. Harris and Mr. Biden treated the situation like a public-relations disaster instead of a real one.”
  • “Federal Emergency Management Agency staff are working hard. The agency’s response to Helene has been praised in some quarters and criticized elsewhere. But it too has been the victim of misplaced Biden-Harris political priorities. Under Ms. Harris and Mr. Biden, FEMA has funneled millions of dollars to nongovernmental organizations whose stated goal is facilitating mass migration into the U.S. The effort stems from a White House directive to reorient FEMA’s institutional focus away from U.S. citizens and toward aliens who either have no legal right to be here or whose legal status depends on the say-so of the Biden-Harris administration.”

ELECTION INTEGRITY UPDATE – President Trump’s election integrity program at the RNC along with the Ohio Republican Party have intervened in the Ohio Democratic Party’s baseless lawsuit against Secretary of State Frank LaRose’s ballot guidance.


The details:

  • Ohio Secretary of State LaRose recently issued a directive that requires individuals delivering another voter’s ballot to enter the county board of elections office and complete an attestation form that they are complying with applicable laws.
  • This commonsense guidance allows voters who need assistance to receive help from a person of their choice and promotes election integrity in the process.
  • The Ohio Democratic Party’s lawsuit falsely accuses that the Secretary does not have authority to issue such a directive, claiming his order violates state law.
  • The RNC is intervening to prevent voter fraud and maintain public confidence in our elections.
