‘Too little, too late’: Former rap mogul reveals why he’s endorsing Trump in scathing rebuke of Biden-Harris
The co-founder of Death Row Records, one of the most recognizable and influential record labels in the music industry, spoke to Fox News Digital about why he recently decided to endorse former President Trump over VP Kamala Harris. “It’s about his track record,” Michael “Harry-O” Harris told Fox News Digital about his decision to endorse Trump, who granted Harris clemency from a 33-year prison sentence that had seven years remaining on it as one of his last actions as president. “The former president, while president, enacted some initiatives that speaks to my community specifically and other people as well.” Harris cited several examples of policies from the first Trump administration that he feels are in line with the goals of his organization, Community First Action, including permanent funding for HBCUs, opportunity zones promoting investment in low income neighborhoods, the First Step Act, and bipartisan legislation combating sickle cell anemia. MSNBC ANCHOR SHOCKED BY BLACK, LATINO VOTERS SUPPORTING TRUMP’S MASS DEPORTATION POLICY Polls have increasingly shown that Trump has made significant inroads with the Black community and is expected by many to earn a historically strong share of those votes in November. Harris told Fox News Digital he believes it is due in part to voters trusting that Trump will keep his word, and a lack of movement from the Biden-Harris administration. “People have more confidence that he will keep his word and I think it’s kind of based on some of the same research that we did, that when somebody doesn’t campaign on something but actually enacted laws . . . that wants to double down on what he did in the first administration,” Harris said. “I haven’t heard that from the other side as much. I mean, what I’ve heard, I believe, frankly, came a little bit too late, too little, too late. And so, when it comes to a balancing act, and you have to make a decision, the critical decision that could affect your life and the life of your family, you have to go based on facts, and the facts are that for the last three and a half years, the previous, the present administration hasn’t really focused on our community.” TRUMP, HARRIS NECK AND NECK AS DEMS LOSE GROUND AMONG LATINO, BLACK VOTERS: POLL Harris told Fox News Digital that “there’s nothing to refer to of substance” that the Biden-Harris administration has done to “help elevate our community.” “But even with that said, I still put the challenge out to both candidates and President Trump tapped in and that support meant a lot to our organization but more importantly to our community that somebody is committing to working with us to deal with real issues in the community.” Fox News Digital asked Harris what his theory is as to why VP Harris has struggled to earn the support of Black voters the way that President Biden did, according to polling. “I think that, people at large, I just want to be honest here. Don’t understand the intelligence of the black community,” Harris responded. “I think that they put them in a box and just think that everybody suffers from the herd mentality, that just because certain parts of our community say we should do this, then everybody should do it.” “I’m not saying that some people don’t fall into that bracket, but a lot of people go back to reality. They have to go back to reality, because they are living in reality that their groceries is triple or double the gas is double or triple that just to be able to rent or pay their mortgage is double. Things have changed for them in a dramatic way in the last four years.” Harris continued, “So when somebody starts saying vote for me just because is insulting, and I think that that’s what the fallback is that somebody is going to vote for you for a double up of what they just had. I think people are too intelligent for that.” Harris also spoke about his “life-changing” experience of being pardoned by Trump after spending decades in prison on drug trafficking charges. “I’d been gone for 33 years and President Trump decided to make a difference and what some people don’t know, I had put in a request for clemency twice under President Obama’s administration and never heard anything back and the fact that President Trump on his way out was able to provide that relief to me and others, I can’t even put words around it,” Harris said. “It changed everything for me. It changed everything for my family. It gave me an opportunity to re-engage in society and try to do my part. To make it a better place.” Harris explained that he had met with Trump for about an hour after being released from prison and shed some light on what that conversation looked like. “We just sat and talked about issues and about family, and I remember me asking him, you know, because I’m so grateful, you know? What can I do for you? He said you don’t owe me nothing, the only thing you owe me to be honest with you is to be successful,” Harris said. “I read your file. I saw what you had done while you was away, and it was commendable, and I just didn’t think that you should do another day in prison.” Earlier this month, Harris released the “O-Plan” as a “challenge for anyone seeking to be President of the United States of America to commit to the following policy proposals to end fleeting promises of hope and change.” Those proposals include promoting economic self-sufficiency to end the vicious cycle of generational debt, incentivizing responsible homeownership through the expansion of “rent to own” programs, and developing a comprehensive and targeted economic empowerment program that fosters financial literacy, career development, and entrepreneurship education. Shortly after that announcement, Trump posted on Truth Social: “Michael Harris (Harry O) is working hard to support and build on what my
Harris breaks silence after GOP leaders say anti-Trump rhetoric ‘risks inviting’ another assassination attempt
Vice President Kamala Harris reiterated “the danger and the threat that Donald Trump poses to America and the fact that he is unfit to serve,” on Friday when asked about criticism of her rhetoric by Republican leaders. “Well, listen, we all must speak out against any form of political violence, and I’m very clear about that. No one should be the subject of violence,” she told reporters, according to a press pool report. “But the American people deserve to be presented with facts and the truth. And the fact and the truth is that some of the people closest to Donald Trump when he was president, generals, including most recently, John Kelly, a four-star marine general, have been very clear about the danger and the threat that Donald Trump poses to America and the fact that he is unfit to serve. And the American People deserve to hear that and know about that,” the vice president continued. Her campaign was initially silent following a call from Republican congressional leaders for her to stop using “dangerous rhetoric,” such as referring to Trump as a “fascist.” SEN TAMMY BALDWIN HITS BACK AT GOP OPPONENT’S CLINTON COMPARISON: ‘ACTUALLY CALLED YOU DEPLORABLE’ House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., released a relatively rare joint statement on Friday, demanding Harris cease using such rhetoric and reminding her of the two recent assassination attempts against Trump. “Labeling a political opponent as a ‘fascist’ risks inviting yet another would-be assassin to try robbing voters of their choice before Election Day,” the Republican leaders said in the statement less than two weeks before the election. Harris’ campaign initially declined to comment when reached by Fox News Digital. “Vice President Harris may want the American people to entrust her with the sacred duty of executive authority. But first, she must abandon the base and irresponsible rhetoric that endangers both American lives and institutions,” Johnson and McConnell wrote. “We have both been briefed on the ongoing and persistent threats to former President Donald Trump by adversaries to the United States, and we call on the Vice President to take these threats seriously, stop escalating the threat environment, and help ensure President Trump has the necessary resources to be protected from those threats,” they said. The statement noted that there have been two assassination attempts against Trump in the last several months, pointing out that “in the weeks since that second sobering reminder, the Democratic nominee for President of the United States has only fanned the flames beneath a boiling cauldron of political animus.” ‘ILL-FATED EFFORT’: MCCONNELL WAS ‘FURIOUS’ AT RICK SCOTT’S 2022 LEADER BID, BOOK SAYS During a CNN town hall this week, Harris told host Anderson Cooper that she believes Trump is a fascist. “Yes, I do. Yes, I do,” she told Cooper when asked if she agreed with retired Gen. Mark Milley, who described Trump as “fascist to the core” in journalist Bob Woodward’s latest book. Cooper noted that Harris had cited Milley’s quotes about Trump in the past. Harris further referred to new interviews with Trump’s former chief of staff John Kelly in The New York Times, in which he said Trump “certainly falls into the general definition of fascist.” Kelly further claimed Trump told him once that “Hitler did some good things, too.” Trump has denied saying this. SCHUMER, DEMS PRE-ELECTION REPORT URGES VOTERS TO BE WARY OF ‘MISINFORMATION’ ABOUT RESULTS According to the Kelly interview, he felt the need to speak out because of a recent comment Trump made in an interview on Fox News. While speaking with Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo on “Sunday Morning Futures,” Trump was asked about concerns with regard to “chaos” on Election Day. The host noted a recent plot by an Afghan refugee that was foiled. “I think the bigger problem is the enemy from within, not even the people that have come in and [are] destroying our country and by the way, totally destroying our country. The towns, the villages, they’re being inundated,” Trump began. “But I don’t think they have the problem in terms of Election Day. I think the bigger problem are the people from within. We have some very bad people. We have some sick people, radical left lunatics,” he said. “It should be very easily handled by, if necessary, by National Guard or, if really necessary, by the military, because they can’t let that happen.” SAM BROWN BEGINS TO CLOSE GAP WITH INCUMBENT SEN. JACKY ROSEN IN BATTLEGROUND NEVADA Harris’ campaign has since seized on the remark. According to Johnson and McConnell, “Her most recent and most reckless invocations of the darkest evil of the 20th century seem to dare it to boil over. The Vice President’s words more closely resemble those of President Trump’s second would-be assassin than her own earlier appeal to civility.” “This summer, after the first attempted assassination of a presidential candidate in more than a century, President Biden insisted that ‘we cannot allow this violence to be normalized.’ In September, after President Trump escaped yet another close call, Vice President Harris acknowledged that ‘we all must do our part to ensure that this incident does not lead to more violence,’” they pointed out.

Harris-Trump showdown: VP continues to dominate this crucial campaign metric days before 2024 election
The latest major national poll in the 2024 race between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump indicates a dead heat – the latest metric to point to a White House race well within the margin-of-error. However, in the battle for campaign cash – another important indicator in presidential politics – there is a clear frontrunner, Vice President Harris. According to the latest figures the two major party presidential campaigns filed with the Federal Election Commission, Harris is reported hauling in $97 million during the first half of October. MORE THAN 20,000 PEOPLE SHOW UP AT THIS STAR-STUDDED POLITICAL RALLY That far outpaced the $16 million the Trump campaign said it raised during the first half of this month. Both campaigns use a slew of affiliated fundraising committees to haul in cash, and when those are included, Trump narrowed the gap but was still soundly topped $176 million to $97 million during the first two weeks of this month. FROM ‘JOYFUL WARRIOR’ TO CALLING TRUMP A ‘FACIST’ – KAMALA HARRIS CHANGES HER MESSAGING IN THE FINAL STRETCH The new filings also spotlight that the Harris campaign continues to vastly outspend the Trump campaign. During the first 16 days of October, the Democratic presidential nominee’s campaign outspent Trump $166 million to $99 million – with paid media the top expenditure for both campaigns. However, Harris finished the reporting period with more cash in her coffers – reporting a cash-on-hand of $119 million as of Oct. 16, with Trump at $36 million. When joint-fundraising committees are also included, Harris holds a $240 million to $168 million cash-on-hand advantage. President Biden’s campaign and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) enjoyed a fundraising lead over Trump and the Republican National Committee (RNC) earlier this year. However, Trump and the RNC topped Biden and the DNC by $331 million to $264 million during the second quarter of 2024 fundraising. Biden enjoyed a brief fundraising surge after his disastrous performance in his late June debate with Trump, as donors briefly shelled out big bucks in a sign of support for the 81-year-old president. CHECK OUT THE LATEST FOX NEWS POWER RANKINGS IN THE 2024 ELECTION However, Biden’s halting and shaky debate delivery also instantly fueled questions about his physical and mental ability to serve another four years in the White House and spurred a rising chorus of calls from within his own party for the president to end his bid for a second term. The brief surge in fundraising did not last and, by early July, it began to significantly slow down. Biden bowed out of the 2024 race on July 21, and the party quickly consolidated around Harris, who instantly saw her fundraising soar, spurred by small-dollar donations. Harris has vastly outpaced Trump in fundraising since taking over at the top of the Democrats’ ticket. This is not the first time Trump’s faced a fundraising deficit. He raised less than 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton in his White House victory and was outraised by Biden four years ago in his re-election defeat. When asked about the fundraising deficit, RNC chair Michael Whatley told Fox News Digital last month that “the Democrats have a ton of money. The Democrats always have a ton of money.” However, he emphasized that “we absolutely have the resources that we need to get our message out to all the voters that we’re talking to and feel very comfortable that we’re going to be able to see this campaign through, and we’re going to win on Nov. 5.” Fundraising is a key measure of a candidate’s popularity and their campaign’s strength. The money raised can be used to – among other things – hire staff, expand grassroots outreach and get-out-the-vote efforts, pay to produce and run ads on TV, radio, digital and mailers, and for candidate travel.

Top Dems demand special counsel to investigate Jared Kushner less than 2 weeks from Election Day
Less than two weeks before Election Day, the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee is calling on the U.S. attorney general to appoint a special counsel to investigate former President Donald Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner. Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., who is likely to take over as chair of the Oversight Committee if Democrats win the House in November, accused Kushner of possibly violating the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) through his finance work after leaving the White House. Kushner, who is married to Trump’s daughter, Ivanka Trump, served as senior White House adviser in former President Trump’s first administration. His hedge fund, Affinity Partners, has been a consistent target for Democrats since its inception in 2021 — attacks that have continued even as the former president runs for a second term. SPEAKER JOHNSON RIPS ‘LACK OF LEADERSHIP’ IN BIDEN ADMIN’S HELENE RESPONSE: ‘ALARMED AND DISAPPOINTED’ Kushner and his allies have vehemently denied accusations of impropriety. Additionally, while Democrats have been investigating Kushner since 2021, his circle is arguing that those and the more recent calls for a special counsel are fueled by political motivations, given the close election less than two weeks away. “Recent public reports and a Senate investigation have uncovered significant evidence that Mr. Kushner acted as an unregistered foreign agent of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia,” read a letter by Raskin and Senate Finance Committee Chairman Ron Wyden, D-Ore. “By his own admission, Mr. Kushner is actively advising former President Trump’s campaign while being paid at least $80 million by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and other foreign governments since June 2021.” They also accused Kushner of undermining the U.S. by “secretly advising the Saudi government.” The lawmakers pointed to a report by Reuters earlier this month that accused Kushner of discussing U.S.-Saudi relations involving Israel with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman multiple times since leaving the White House. FORMER REPUBLICAN US SENATOR ENDORSES KAMALA HARRIS, SAYS ELECTION OFFERS ‘STARK CHOICE’ Democrats have also seized on a $2 billion investment in Affinity Partners made by Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund after the Trump administration ended. “The scale of these undisclosed foreign payments to Mr. Kushner coupled with the national security implications of his apparent ongoing efforts to sell political influence to the highest foreign bidder are unprecedented and demand action from DOJ,” Raskin and Wyden wrote. Kushner and his allies denied any conflict of interest to Fox News Digital. CLUB FOR GROWTH POURS $5M INTO TIGHT HOUSE RACES AS GOP BRACES FOR TOUGH ELECTION “There is no conflict of interest. During Trump’s four years in office, every decision he made was through the lens of what’s in the best interest of America. When re-elected, he’ll do the same,” Kushner said. “Senator Wyden and Rep. Raskin are fortunate to be serving this country, and they should focus on the opportunity they have to positively impact peoples’ lives and not on silly political stunts. This letter is beneath the level of seriousness that both of their chambers deserves.” A spokesperson for the former White House adviser said, “This is a desperate attempt by partisan democrats to manufacture an issue where none exist 12 days before an election. Jared runs an SEC registered fund that abides by all laws and regulations.” Meanwhile, Affinity Partners Chief Legal Officer Chad Mizelle pointed out that the request was being lodged less than two weeks before Election Day. “Requesting DOJ appoint a special counsel to investigate the president’s family with no evidence 12 days before an election should be seen for what it is — a disgraceful attempt by Wyden and Raskin to turn DOJ into a fully political operation days before an election,” he said. Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo., the Senate GOP Conference chairman, responded to Wyden and Raskin’s accusations on X, “Going after a family member of a presidential candidate less than two weeks from a national election is exactly the weaponization of government that President Trump has warned…about.” It could signal political turmoil in Washington in the months ahead if Trump wins the White House while his party fails to keep the House. Multiple Democrats previously signaled to Fox News Digital, however, that they are eyeing investigations into Kushner if they win the House majority – regardless of whether Trump is president. The DOJ did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
Arizona election ballots damaged after USPS mailbox lit on fire, suspect arrested
Around 20 mail-in ballots have been damaged in Phoenix after an arson suspect set fire to a U.S. Postal Service mailbox, officials say. Dieter Klofkorn, 35, has been arrested on one felony count of Arson to Property following the incident that unfolded early Thursday morning in Arizona’s capital. “Klofkorn stated that he committed the arson because he wanted to be arrested and that his actions were not politically motivated and not related to anything involving the upcoming election,” the Phoenix Police Department said in a statement. Images taken from the scene showed a charred mailbox outside a U.S. Post Office near 3900 North 7th Avenue. MILLIONS OF VOTERS HAVE ALREADY CAST BALLOTS FOR NOV. 5 ELECTION The Phoenix Fire Department says the suspect “arrived early Thursday… and lit a fire inside the blue drive-up collection mailbox” before crews responded, forced the box open and extinguished the flames. “Approximately 20 electoral ballots were damaged, along with additional miscellaneous mail,” the fire department added, according to Fox10 Phoenix. “The Postal Inspector took possession of the damaged ballots and mail.” ARIZONA BEGINS IN-PERSON AND ABSENTEE VOTING The station also cited Phoenix Police Sgt. Robert Scherer, who said, “Klofkorn has a decent history with Phoenix police, and the valley surrounding.” Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer is now encouraging local voters who used that mailbox to check the status of their ballots online. “Threats are not OK,” Mayor Kate Gallego also told Fox10 Phoenix. “Attempts to intimidate are deeply illegal, and will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”
Sen Tammy Baldwin hits back at GOP opponent’s Clinton comparison: ‘Actually called you deplorable’
FIRST ON FOX: Sen. Tammy Baldwin, D-Wis., is responding to her opponent, Republican businessman Eric Hovde, after he compared her comments on former President Trump voters to those of former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton. “Do you know who actually called you deplorable? This guy, Eric Hovde,” a new digital ad from Baldwin’s campaign said. The ad featured Hovde’s own remarks from an interview on “The Jerry Bader Show” in 2016. ‘ILL-FATED EFFORT’: MCCONNELL WAS ‘FURIOUS’ AT RICK SCOTT’S 2022 LEADER BID, BOOK SAYS The now-Republican candidate used the word “deplorable” to describe the level of civic knowledge among average Americans, with many not knowing the year of the country’s founding or who the vice president is. “Most of the country, sadly, doesn’t know what the heck is going on,” he said at the time. “They can’t even tell you when our country was founded, who the vice president [sic], how many senators there are. It’s just deplorable how low people are keeping themselves informed.” Hovde added, “I like to say, sadly, with females, they spend too much time with what’s going on in Hollywood. And with males, they engross themselves too much with sports. And now it’s not just sports, it’s fantasy sports.” The new Baldwin ad criticized the past remarks, asking, “Too much sports?” SCHUMER, DEMS PRE-ELECTION REPORT URGES VOTERS TO BE WARY OF ‘MISINFORMATION’ ABOUT RESULTS “Eric Hovde really doesn’t know Wisconsin. Too much time in California,” it continued. Baldwin’s latest ad is part of a multi-million dollar advertising campaign. Hovde’s campaign did not provide comment to Fox News Digital in time for publication. The ad comes after Hovde’s campaign unveiled its own spot on television this week, putting Baldwin’s past comments on Trump voters side by side with Clinton’s infamous “basket of deplorables” remark, which was credited by many for securing her election loss to Trump in 2016. SAM BROWN BEGINS TO CLOSE GAP WITH INCUMBENT SEN. JACKY ROSEN IN BATTLEGROUND NEVADA “Donald Trump might be one of the most offensive, hateful and unacceptable presidential candidates we’ve ever had. So what does that say about the people who support him?” Baldwin said in the ad, which was from a 2016 speech she made. Baldwin has tried to appeal to Republicans and Trump supporters during her current campaign, featuring the former president in her ads throughout some of the cycle. MCCONNELL, GOP DESCEND ON NEBRASKA TO SAVE DEB FISCHER’S ENDANGERED SENATE SEAT Wisconsin is a presidential battleground state and considered a toss up in the election. As split-ticket voting becomes increasingly rare, it’s likely that the party that wins the presidency also wins the Senate races in several key states, including Wisconsin. Baldwin beat Hovde by just one point in a new Quinnipiac University poll, 49% to 48%. The poll was conducted between Oct. 18 and 21 and interviewed 1,108 likely voters in Wisconsin. The margin of error was +/- 2.9 percentage points. The race is considered a “Toss Up” by top political handicapper the Cook Political Report.
