Election 2024 live updates: Trump prepares for Joe Rogan podcast with poll showing a tie with Harris

Donald Trump and Kamala Harris are locked in a tie in a major new national poll.

Both the Republican and Democrat nominees are on 48 percent in the popular vote, according to the New York Times and Siena College poll.

The result is a bad sign for Harris as Democrats have held an edge in the popular vote in recent elections, even when their nominee has lost the Electoral College.

In 2020 Joe Biden beat Donald Trump by 4.4 percent in the popular vote.

Four years ealier, Hillary Clinton won the popular vote by 2.1 percent despite losing the Electoral College.

Harris has also fallen back slightly from the last time the poll was taken earlier this month, when she had a one point lead.

Ultimately, regardless of the popular vote, the election is set to be decided in seven key battleground states where the two candidates are also running neck and neck.

Reports indicate there was damage done at Rep. Elise Stefanik’s campaign office.

There was vandalism reported alongside a suspicious white substance at the House Republican Conference Chair’s Queensbury, New York, campaign office.

Her office did not immediately respond.

Since polls first opened in several Florida counties on Monday, over 3 million voters have cast their ballots.

Total early vote counts have tallied to over 28 million people nationwide – by in-person voting or by mail.

The election, which is in just 11 days, is closer than ever.

A new New York Times poll has Trump and Harris tied on 48 percent.

The State Department is honoring Dolly Parton with an award tied to her international and charity work.

The country music legend is the 2024 recipient of the PEACE Through Music Award, the Department announced. The award is given to an American artist who has played an invaluable role in cross-cultural exchanges and whose work advances peace and mutual understanding.

‘I get my personal peace from writing, from singing, from sharing with you,’ Parton said in her acceptance video.

She said she hopes her songs help people find peace, a ‘moment in time when they can be at rest in this world and find some comfort.’

The State Department cited Parton’s Imagination Library, which send books to children around the world, and her ties to developing a COVID-19 vaccine, in addition to her long music career, as the reason for her honor.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken, an amateur musician, established the award last year. Quincy Jones was the inaugural recipient.

Parton will be honored at the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles on Friday night.

According to a new Harris Poll survey, 55% of investors say that the outcome of the election in 11 days is more important than the markets.

It comes as a series of new polls show Donald Trump holding an edge on the economy, an issue that historically drives presidential races.

At a time when voters are still focused on inflation even as it has cooled to 2.4 percent, Americans are concluding that Trump will leave them wealthier and narrowly saying they trust him more on the economy.

Donald Trump is deploying a novel voter turnout pitch at his rallies – telling MAGA wives to goad their husbands into getting their ‘fat a**’ off the couch to do their civic duty.

Trump tried it at his Las Vegas rally Thursday night in a plea for early voting in closely contested state. ‘The polls are open for early voting in Nevada every day from now to November 1. So get your husband – Hank: Get the hell out of the couch, Hank! Get up, get that big fat a** of your – we’re gonna vote for the president. We’re gonna turn our country around, Hank. Come on, let’s go, Hank,’ to cheers from his rally crowd.

Earlier Thursday in Phoenix, it’s was Jimmy who needed a motivational kick in the behind. ‘Jimmy, let’s go. Let’s go. Jimmy, I’m not going to use foul language. Get your fat a** out of the couch. You’re going to vote, Jimmy, You’re going to vote. We’re going to save our country, Jimmy, we’re going to save our country.’

His pitch comes as a new YouGov poll had Trump holding a 55-40 lead among those who say they planned to vote election day, with Harris leading 63-32 among those who planned to vote by mail or absentee.

As the 2024 general election season heats up, Vice President Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are in a tight race that could come down to just a few thousand votes in several battleground states.

But with polls calling the race too close to call, maybe even the closest in modern history, there’s a question over whether either major party presidential hopeful will reach the necessary 270 Electoral College votes to win the November 5 election outright.

Each candidate needs to find a path to victory that inevitably winds through crucial – and currently within the polling margin of error swing states.

But even then, there is a scenario where the election results in neither candidate winning the required majority in the Electoral College and could tie 269-269.

So what then? Well, it has happened before – albeit not in 200 years!

Hillary Clinton is comparing Donald Trump’s upcoming Madison Square Garden rally to the 1939 pro-Nazi event at the same iconic location.

Trump’s 2016 Democratic rival is still out railing against him and warning Americans against giving him another term with just 12 days left until Election Day.

The former Secretary of State said Trump is seeking to ‘reenact’ the Nazi rally that took place in the New York City venue just over six months before the start of World War II.

A campaign source confirmed details of the long-awaited interview being recorded in Rogan’s Austin, Texas, studio to DailyMail.com.

Trump said in an interview last week with the Nelk Boys podcast that he was planning to sit down with Rogan, who boasts millions of followers.

Donald Trump hammered Kamala Harris for her border security and immigration plans in front of thousands in Arizona Thursday, saying she’s made the U.S. a human ‘dumping ground.’

Speaking to brimming Mullett Arena, in Tempe on Thursday the former president sought to make immigration the central theme of his address in the border state.

‘Kamala’s migrant invasion given to us by gross incompetence disqualifies her from even thinking about being president,’ Trump said.

‘We’re like a dumping ground,’ Trump said. ‘We’re like a garbage can for the world.’

Vice President Kamala Harris brought in some of the biggest political and entertainment superstars in the world Thursday night for a rally in Georgia.

But after hours of waiting in line and standing in the sun, hundreds of fans headed for the exit before the Democratic presidential nominee’s remarks.

Harris appeared on stage with former President Obama for the first time in the 2024 campaign season with the rally in the suburbs of the critical swing state.

A win in Georgia is critical for either Harris or Trump on the path to winning what could be one of the closest presidential elections in history on November 5.

After Obama spoke, Harris took the stage, but her usual walk-on song did not play leaving the 60-year-old to enter without the same energy seen at other rallies.

While the vast majority of attendees in the stadium stayed, dozens of people were spotted exiting the bleachers while she spoke.

Kamala Harris fans walked out of her star-studded rally early on Thursday night with just 11 days until the election and polls showing the tide turning to Donald Trump.

The rivals in the presidential race campaigned in battleground states to make their final pleas to undecided voters in what is shaping up to be one of the closest elections in history.

A record-breaking 29 million people have already cast ballots either in-person early or by mail in a campaign that will go down to the wire.

The vice president is bringing in political powerhouses and celebrities to help her with her closing argument. Beyoncé Knowles is scheduled to perform alongside her in Texas on Friday.
