Harris Crushes It, Trump Confronts Campaign-Crippling Blow
Kamala Harris racks up points on the economy and thrives in Detroit, while a new 'October Surprise' could bring Donald's already struggling candidacy to its knees
Kamala Harris is receiving all the right endorsements and praise in the closing weeks of the race — framing herself as the economic and rational choice for Americans with less than two weeks to go before the big day.
Last night in MI
Eminem spoke to a packed house in Detroit, where he publicly endorsed Harris and urged the crowd to “get out and vote.”
He also warned against a second Trump term, saying: “I don’t think anyone wants an America where people will worry about retribution for making their opinions known.”
A direct jab at Trump for repeatedly promising vengeance and violence against Democrats.
Then
Slim Shady was followed by former President Obama, who delivered the goods — like he always does — to a state he dominated by 16.5% and 9.5% in the ‘08/’12 elections.
In short: It was a great night for Harris in battleground Michigan.
And an even better morning, as nearly 2 dozen economic experts picked her plan over Trump’s
In a major announcement, 23 Nobel Prize-winning economists came out this morning and praised Harris’ economic agenda as “vastly superior” to Trump’s.
Here’s what they wrote in their letter: “While each of us has different views on the particulars of various economic policies, we believe that, overall, Harris’ economic agenda will improve our nation’s health, investment, sustainability, resilience, employment opportunities, and fairness and be vastly superior to the counterproductive economic agenda of Donald Trump.”
A pivotal endorsement for Harris to receive in the midst of early voting.
Imagine receiving this update while standing in line at the ballot box!
Also this morning: JPMorgan CEO backs Harris
According to the New York Times, JPMorgan CEO, Jamie Dimon, now “privately” supports Harris over Trump, and told associates he’s “fearful” that if Trump wins, he could “retaliate” against the people and companies who “publicly opposed” him.
A valid fear, as Trump has recently threatened to deploy the military against those that politically disagree with him.
Plus
Dimon also called Trump’s election denialism a “disqualifying factor.”
Real talk
It’s been about as good a 24 hours as Kamala Harris could ask for.
Not so much for Donald Trump, whose team now stares down a crippling new crisis
Not only are Nobel Prize-winning economists and Wall Street giants bailing on Trump in the final stretch, but the latest October surprise just dropped — and it could be lights out for his campaign:
