More than half of Harris voters want to relocate following Trump win: survey

More than half of Harris voters want to relocate following Trump win: survey

More than 50% of voters for Vice President Kamala Harris say they want to move following Trump’s victory in the 2024 presidential election, according to a survey commissioned by StorageUnits.com. Storage Units surveyed 1,837 Harris voters on Nov. 6 to determine how many would like to relocate – and who actually plans to – and the top concerns of those who voted against Trump. Of those surveyed, 44% would like to move, but probably won’t, while 5% said they will definitely move and another 5% said they probably will. Those who would like to move, but probably won’t, cited personal finances, family and community ties as reasons they will stay in place. Of the 10% planning to move or seriously considering it, 90% are looking into moving to another country, with the top choices being Canada, the United Kingdom and Mexico. California, New York and Colorado were the top three choices for those considering moving to another state. 5 MISTAKES THAT DOOMED KAMALA HARRIS’ CAMPAIGN AGAINST TRUMP According to the survey, the top three reasons Harris voters want to relocate are concerns that a federal abortion ban will be enacted, an increase in racial inequality and progressive rights will be overturned. Abortion access at the federal level, which was one of the Democrats’ top campaign issues, has been an area of concern for many Dem voters despite Trump stating he would not enact a federal abortion ban and reiterating that he agrees with the decision being left in the states’ hands after Roe v. Wade was overturned by the Supreme Court on June 24, 2022. Other top areas of concern include: reduction in healthcare access, increased social inequality, lack of gun regulation and the weakening of public education. “​Some Harris voters who are ​​experiencing fear, anxiety, and concern ​following the election results may elect to​ shift from a red to a blue state with friendlier LGBTQ+ and/or less restrictive abortion laws. However, there are a number of factors influencing any potential moves, such as cost of living, job availability, and housing prices,” Realtor Jo Ann Bauer told Storage Units.

Donald Trump wins Nevada, pushing his victory margin over Kamala Harris

Donald Trump wins Nevada, pushing his victory margin over Kamala Harris

Former President Trump has flipped the swing state of Nevada after falling just short in 2020. The six electoral votes for Nevada add to Trump’s victory in the 2024 race. Fox News Decision Desk called the presidential race in the Silver State for Trump, handing Vice President Harris a loss in a state where both candidates held several campaign events. Biden won Nevada in 2020 by 2.4%, which continued a trend of Democrat presidential candidates winning the state.  The state has voted for every Democrat who has run for president since 1992, except the two elections with President George W. Bush on the ballot. However, the average margin across those eight elections is just 4.1 points. DEMOCRATS HAVE AN ENORMOUS DILEMMA IF KAMALA HARRIS LOSES Republicans surprised many by beating Democrats in early in-person voting and also virtually erased the gap with registered voters heading into Election Day.  The Democratic turnout advantage in the state in years past has been driven by what is known as the “Reid Machine” that late Democratic Sen. Harry Reid, the U.S. Senate majority leader from 2007 to 2015, established to help pool resources to maximize support for candidates up and down the ballot.  SAN JOSE STATE REQUESTS LOST REVENUE DAMAGES AFTER OPPONENTS FORFEIT AMID TRANSGENDER CONTROVERSY His approach tapped into networks that extended well beyond the traditional party structure. He leaned especially on the heavily immigrant Culinary Union, which represents about 60,000 casino workers and leads efforts to register voters, make phone calls and knock on doors. Both Harris and Trump, along with their surrogates, made numerous trips to Nevada in recent weeks. “Nevada, I am here asking for your vote,” Harris told a crowd in Reno in the last days before the election. “I am asking for your vote. And here is my pledge to you, and I got your back, as president, I pledge to you to seek common ground and common sense solutions to the challenges you face. I am not looking to score political points.” “I am looking to make progress. And I pledge to listen to experts, to listen to those who will be impacted by the decisions I make and to listen to people who disagree with me. Because that’s what real leaders do.” Nevada was also home to a key Senate race between Republican Sam Brown and Democratic Sen. Jacky Rosen.

Incumbent Dem Jacky Rosen holds onto Senate seat in battleground Nevada

Sen. Jacky Rosen, D-Nev., has been re-elected to the Senate in Nevada, according to Friday night’s race call by the Associated Press. The Democrat senator successfully fended off a challenge from veteran Sam Brown, a Republican endorsed by President-elect Donald Trump. Rosen was first elected to the Senate in 2018 and this was her first re-election. Prior to the election, Fox News Power Rankings in September considered the November Senate match to be one of two “toss-ups,” alongside Ohio.  JACKY ROSEN HAS BEEN SUPPORTING BIDEN-HARRIS ADMIN AGENDA THAT HAS LEFT MANY NEVADANS HURT: SAM BROWN A top political handicapper, the Cook Political Report, had similarly rated it a “toss up” earlier in the year but more recently shifted the race back to “Lean Democrat.” Cook cited polling in the summer months that showed Rosen outpacing Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris by a significant margin. Also in the category were Senate races in Arizona and Pennsylvania. HISPANIC VOTERS RAIL AGAINST ‘DISHONEST’ BIDEN-HARRIS BORDER RECORD AS POLL SHOWS TRUMP GAINING IN KEY STATES Nevada was a critical swing state for elections down-ballot, including the presidential and Senate races. While the Nevada Senate battle wasn’t thought of as necessary for Republicans to gain the majority in the upper chamber, it was being eyed to expand a likely majority in the new Congress.  There were also several close House races in the state, which were similarly expected to determine which party would lead the lower chamber.  CBS REPORTER FINDS ONLY 3 HARRIS SUPPORTERS IN 3 NEVADA RESTAURANTS: ‘PEOPLE ARE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT TRUMP’ Rosen handily won the Democrat nomination for Senate earlier in the year, defeating both Troy Walker and Mike Schaefer, who were not prominent challengers. Brown faced a much more difficult primary race, with former U.S. Ambassador to Iceland Jeffrey Gunter taking him on for the GOP nod.  Gunter spent significant money on attack ads against Brown, depicting him as a tool of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. The primary was made more uncertain by President-elect Donald Trump’s decision not to weigh in until the last minute.  Trump ultimately threw his support behind Brown at a rally in Nevada ahead of the primary, allowing him to win the election by a healthy margin. The Trump-backed Senate candidate failed to close the polling gap with Rosen in the same fashion that other Republican candidates across the country had with their incumbent opponents.

FEMA official directed hurricane relief workers to avoid homes with Trump signage as agency conducts cleanup

FEMA official directed hurricane relief workers to avoid homes with Trump signage as agency conducts cleanup

A Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) official has been fired after directing disaster relief workers to skip homes “advertising” support of now President-elect Trump in the wake of the devastating hurricanes in Florida. A Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) official has been fired after directing disaster relief workers to skip homes of supporters of now President-elect Trump in the wake of the devastating hurricanes. In a statement to Fox News Digital, a FEMA spokesperson said that they are “deeply disturbed” following the incident,” noting that the official who gave the instruction “was given no direction to tell teams to avoid these homes.” “While we believe this is an isolated incident, we have taken measures to remove the employee from their role and are investigating the matter to prevent this from happening ever again,” the spokesperson said.  “The employee who issued this guidance had no authority and was given no direction to tell teams to avoid these homes, and we are reaching out to the people who may have not been reached as a result of this incident,” the agency said. FLORIDA RESIDENTS FEEL ‘BEATEN DOWN’ BY HURRICANE SEASON: REP. BYRON DONALDS The Daily Wire first obtained internal messages about the incident. In messages obtained by the outlet, a FEMA official is seen instructing workers to “avoid homes advertising Trump” among other practices. The outlet noted that the aid workers would enter into a system tracking application that they made no contact with the residents, blaming the directive: “Trump sign, no contact per leadership.” The agency said that it is investigating the incident and are taking it “extremely seriously.” FEMA noted that following Hurricanes Helene and Milton, the agency has helped over 365,000 households and provided over $898 million in direct assistance. FEMA DOESN’T HAVE THE ABILITY TO DO THIS: ADAM SMITH “We are horrified that this took place and therefore have taken extreme actions to correct this situation and have ensured that the matter was addressed at all levels,” the agency said. “Helping people is what we do best and our workforce across the agency will continue to serve survivors for as long as it takes.” In a statement on X, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis announced that his administration is launching an investigation into FEMA following the “blatant weaponization” of the agency. “The blatant weaponization of government by partisan activists in the federal bureaucracy is yet another reason why the Biden-Harris administration is in its final days,” he said. “At my direction, the Division of Emergency Management is launching an investigation into the federal government’s targeted discrimination of Floridians who support Donald Trump.” FOLLOW THE MONEY: UNDERSTANDING FEMA’S DISASTER BUDGET IN HURRICANE MILTON AFTERMATH “New leadership is on the way to D.C. and I’m optimistic that these partisan bureaucrats will be fired,” he added. WATCH: The discovery of mismanagement came after the Biden administration lectured people about spreading “disinformation” about FEMA.  During a White House address on the government’s response to Hurricanes Milton and Helene, President Biden denounced the “reckless, irresponsible and relentless disinformation and outright lies that continue to flow.” “That $750 that they’re talking about, Mr. Trump and all those other people know it’s a lie to suggest that’s all they’re going to get,” Biden said during an address in October. “It’s just bizarre. They got to stop this. They’re being so damn un-American with the way they’re talking about this stuff.”
