Harris claims Trump win would be ‘catastrophic’ for Social Security, but first term tells different tale
Vice President Kamala Harris criticized former President Trump’s proposal to eliminate income taxes on Social Security benefits during a campaign stop on Monday, citing a nonpartisan budget report that claimed Trump’s plan would “dramatically worsen Social Security’s finances.” The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget (CRFB), a nonpartisan policy think tank, published a report Monday claiming Trump’s plans to “eliminate taxation of Social Security benefits, end taxes on tips and overtime, impose tariffs, and expand deportations would all widen Social Security’s cash deficits.” “What I think most of us know is that we have many, many seniors in our country, their Social Security check is their only form of income,” Harris said during a campaign stop in Michigan Monday. “It’s everything and the only thing they have to live on: to pay rent, groceries, all of that. So we must protect Social Security.” MOST US ADULTS WORRY ABOUT FUTURE OF MEDICARE, SOCIAL SECURITY, GALLUP POLL FINDS: ‘MAGNITUDE OF CONCERN’ If elected, the policy think tank also found that Social Security’s cash shortfall could increase by $2.3 trillion through 2035. This change would push the program’s insolvency date up from 2034 to 2031, meaning the next president will need to deal with this issue sooner than expected. If these changes happen, people could face a 33% cut in their benefits by 2035, compared to a 23% cut projected earlier, the report noted. Additionally, the annual shortfall is expected to rise by about 50% in 2035, going from 3.6% to 4% of payroll. To fix the long-term funding issues for Social Security, the report suggests there would either need to be benefit cuts by one-third or revenue increases of about 50%. But a former Trump administration adviser who worked on Social Security policy told Fox News Digital in an interview that “what the Biden Harris folks are doing to mismanage the agency is bleeding money in over payments.” ‘THE VIEW’ CO-HOSTS ANGRILY SUGGEST BIDEN DOESN’T NEED TO ‘LOWER HIMSELF’ TO DEBATE TRUMP “And now sort of waving everyone’s over payment, as what [Commissioner Martin O’Malley] is doing, I think is a lot more reckless and doing a lot more harm to the trust fund than proposing even these ideas,” the source said. “Obviously every candidate is going to be very afraid to touch it,” he added. “But what I will also say, and I actually helped work on some of these, is that Trump did propose tens of billions of dollars in savings in the Social Security Program generally in his first two budgets. And he did that not by going after seniors, but he did that by trying to modernize disability. And you know, that doesn’t necessarily help the trust fund issue real largely, but it does help sort of fix the Disability Trust Fund and start to bring some of the finances under control a little bit.” Harris later told CNN she believed Trump was “hostile” toward the “notion and purpose of Social Security” and that it would be “catastrophic” if the SS trust fund was insolvent in the next few years. Meanwhile, Trump campaign spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said in an emailed response: “President Trump delivered on his promise to protect Social Security and Medicare in his first term, and President Trump will continue to strongly protect Social Security and Medicare in his second term. The only candidate who poses a threat to the solvency of Social Security is dangerously liberal Kamala Harris – whose mass invasion of millions of illegal aliens will, if they are allowed to stay, cause Social Security to buckle and collapse. By unleashing American energy, slashing job-killing regulations, and adopting pro-growth America First tax and trade policies, President Trump will quickly rebuild the greatest economy in history and put Social Security on a stronger footing for generations to come, all the while eliminating taxes on Social Security for America’s well-deserving seniors.” FOX NEWS POWER RANKINGS: VOTER OUTREACH, BALLOT EFFICIENCY AND A LITTLE HOUSEKEEPING The annual Social Security trustees’ report over the summer said the Old-Age and Survivors Insurance (OASI) trust fund is on track to reach insolvency in 2033, at which point benefits would be cut by 21%. The U.S. has an aging population, more than 67 million of whom receive Social Security benefits. And the older an American is, the more likely they are to vote, so many politicians shy away from discussing reforms of the program at all. But if no reforms are made, the same Americans who receive Social Security benefits now – particularly those who rely on the benefits – face a significant threat to their income come 2033.

More than 1 in 4 voters already cast ballots as key swing state smashes records
More than 1 in 4 Georgia voters have cast ballots in the 2024 presidential election so far. The Peach State has been smashing pre-Election Day turnout records and is expected to be a critical factor in the White House contest between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump. As of Tuesday afternoon, more than 1.8 million of Georgia’s some 7.2 million active voters cast absentee or early in-person ballots, or 25.2%. ‘ILLEGAL, UNCONSTITUTIONAL AND VOID’: GEORGIA JUDGE STRIKES DOWN NEW ELECTION RULES AFTER LEGAL FIGHTS “Another milestone reached,” Gabriel Sterling, chief operating officer for the Georgia Secretary of State’s Office, wrote on X. “At 1:30, 25.2% of active voters in Georgia have cast their ballots. That is more than 1 in 4 voters, with 9 more mandatory days of Early Voting to go. These are amazing numbers. Congratulations to our counties for their work and voters for theirs.” Both the Harris and Trump campaigns have poured enormous time and resources into Georgia, a state President Biden won by less than 1% in 2020. GEORGIA GOP CHAIR SHARES 2-PRONGED ELECTION STRATEGY AS TRUMP WORKS TO WIN BACK PEACH STATE On the first day of early voting alone, Georgians cast more than 313,000 in-person ballots. That was 123% higher than the previous Day 1 record, according to Sterling. And the single-day vote total on Sunday wound up being nearly twice the number seen on the first Sunday of early in-person voting in 2022. White voters made up the largest share of that total so far, followed by Black voters. Georgia women also slightly outnumbered men in the pre-Election Day tally by 55.3% to 44.4%. FORMER REPUBLICAN US SENATOR ENDORSES KAMALA HARRIS, SAYS ELECTION OFFERS ‘STARK CHOICE’ Both presidential candidates will also be in Georgia this week. Harris will be in Atlanta on Thursday alongside former President Barack Obama, while Trump will participate in multiple events on Wednesday. The former president will partake in a religious event in rural Georgia on Wednesday, according to WRBL, followed by an evening rally in Duluth. Georgia has seen surging early voter numbers but is not the only state breaking records — both North Carolina and South Carolina broke their previous Day 1 thresholds, according to local reports.
‘I love you’: Longtime Harris ally has been friends with CCP group’s top exec for over a decade
FIRST ON FOX: A decades-long friend and mentee of Vice President Kamala Harris, who is running for Congress in California, has been friends with a top executive of a CCP front group for over a decade, a Fox News Digital review found. In early 2022, a year before James Chau became the president of the China-United States Exchange Foundation (CUSEF), he wrote on Twitter, “Belated best wishes to my friend and sister [Lateefah Simon] as she builds on her years is [sic] service [Akonadi Foundation] to lead Meadow Fund.” “These are complex times — yet also times in which skill and compassion count even more,” he continued. “Looking forward to seeing the deep impact of your work.” Simon, who is currently running for Rep. Barbara Lee’s House seat and was a key speaker at the 2024 DNC convention on behalf of Harris, responded, “I love you James. Hong Kong this summer!” CONGRESSIONAL BLACK CAUCUS CONSULTANT PAID LAVISHLY TO TARGET HBCUS ON BEHALF OF A CCP GROUP “You have the freehold on my heart,” he responded. In another social media post, Chau posted a picture of what appears to be an art exhibit of a tree with dozens of leaves and a caption that reads, “What are you THANKFUL for?” Chau said the tree is “not large enough” and tagged Simon, prompting her to respond with a red heart emoji. The two Twitter exchanges, along with several other social media posts from Chau, came at a time when Chau was already actively working for CUSEF. Chau “joined CUSEF in 2018” and was “working with its founder The Hon. Tung Chee-hwa” before he became the group’s president in 2023, according to his CUSEF bio. Fox News Digital has extensively reported on Tung Chee-hwa, who served as a vice chairman of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), a key part of the CCP’s united front system, which operates to advance the CCP’s interests at home and abroad. UNEARTHED REPORT REVEALS POWERFUL HARRIS ALLY ‘WILLING TO SHARE’ RESOURCES FROM BLACK BUSINESSES WITH CCP One report details how Julia Wilson, a Black public relations consultant, was paid over $1 million by Chee-hwa’s CUSEF to help the Chinese government learn about Black Americans and gain influence with Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and Black leaders. “In 2009, the former chief executive of Hong Kong [Tung Chee-hwa] visited me in my office with his staff from the China-United States Exchange Foundation, and they wanted to know how we got a Black president,” Wilson, whose office is across the street from the White House, told college students during a 2017 presentation. “They were saying, ‘We don’t know anything about Black people. So can you write us a white paper and share it with us? How did Black people get enough power to vote a Black man into office?’ So they really needed an overview of our history. Who are we? Who are African Americans?” CUSEF’s most recent annual report, which was published in July, reveals how the “independent, non-profit and non-governmental foundation” is heavily influenced by the CCP, ranging from advisers and partners to donors. One of the top partners of CUSEF is the People’s Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries, which was previously labeled as a “Beijing-based organization tasked with co-opting subnational governments” and seeking to “directly and malignly influence state and local leaders to promote the PRC’s global agenda,” according to a 2022 report from the Biden administration’s Director of National Intelligence (DNI). Another partner on CUSEF’s annual report is the China Ministry of Foreign Affairs, an instrumental part of the CCP’s apparatus that regularly coordinates with top CCP branches and leaders, according to its website. Other partners include top Chinese and American universities like Princeton, Georgetown, Harvard and Columbia. Sidwell Friends School, the elite boarding school where former President Obama’s daughters and President Biden’s grandchildren attended, was also on the list. FORMER AIDE TO NEW YORK GOV. HOCHUL, WHO IS ACCUSED OF BEING CHINESE SPY, WENT ON A TOUR OF THE WHITE HOUSE Several of CUSEF’s donors, which include Chinese billionaires, also have CCP ties. Wang Jianlin, the billionaire chairman of the Wanda Group, is a CCP member, and served in the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. He is also a longtime member of the CPPCC. Bernard Chan, another donor listed in CUSEF’s annual report, appears to be the same Bernard Chan who served as the Hong Kong Deputy to the National People’s Congress of the People’s Republic of China, the highest organ of state power in the CCP, for 15 years. Multiple members of CUSEF’s governing board also have CCP ties, including Peter Woo, who is currently a member of the Standing Committee of the 11th CPPCC. Liu Changle, the founder of the Chinese state-owned Phoenix Satellite Television, also has several CCP ties, according to CUSEF’s website. Chau, who was previously an anchor for China’s state-owned China Central Television (CCTV), has posted about Tung several times on his X account and has interviewed him multiple times. In 2017, while serving as a contributor for China’s state-owned CGTN, Chau sat down for an interview with Tung and discussed U.S.-China relations. A year later, he started working with Tung at CUSEF. Earlier this summer at the DNC, Simon reflected on her longtime friendship with Harris, including her experience working alongside her in the early 2000s. “When she sees you, she truly sees you,” Simon said in August at the 2024 DNC. “She is the best among us. After working with Kamala Harris day in and day out for five years to create programs that supported young people to get out of the criminal justice system once and for all with good jobs, with opportunity, she wanted to get to the root cause of a broken criminal justice system.” Chau and Simon met in San Francisco in 2008 while working to combat HIV and have been friends over the years, including connecting over her husband and Chau’s father both passing
Key battleground state voter registration data shows influential shifts favoring GOP
The Democratic Party is losing its edge over the GOP in the critical swing state of Pennsylvania, with Democrats changing their party affiliation at more than twice the rate of Republicans, according to state data released after voter registration ended Monday evening. A total of 9,088,583 registered voters were tallied across the state when the sign-up period ended at midnight on Monday. Registered Democrats maintained a lead over registered Republicans, at 3,971,607 registered Democrats to the GOP’s 3,673,783. More than 1.4 million voters are registered as third-party or independent voters in the Keystone State. Though the Democratic Party accounts for nearly 44% of registered voters compared to the GOP’s 40%, it has seen its advantage over Republicans dwindle this year. BIDEN’S OLD BACKYARD NOW A KEY PENNSYLVANIA BATTLEGROUND FILLED WITH ‘PURPLE’ VOTES In 2020, there were 9,090,962 registered voters across the parties in Pennsylvania, only slightly more than the 9,088,583 voters registered this cycle. President Biden won the state in 2020 by 1.17 percentage points. That year, Democrats had a larger margin of registered voters compared to their Republican counterparts, at 4.2 million to 3.5 million. The data show that Democrats had a registration advantage over Republicans by 685,818 voters during an election Biden won by 80,555 votes. The GOP has whittled down that lead this year to a 297,824 margin. When comparing registered voters this election year to 2020, Democrats face a net loss of 257,281 voters, while Republicans have a net gain of 428,537 registered voters. ‘BLUE WALL’ DEMOCRAT ALIGNS WITH TRUMP IN NEW PITCH TO VOTERS BEFORE ELECTION More than double the number of previously registered Democrats changed their party affiliation this cycle compared to the number of registered Republicans who left the party: 54,668 registered Democrats changed their party affiliation compared to 25,634 Republicans, Pennsylvania Department of State data shows. The data is broken down by county, with Philadelphia notably reporting 18,928 Democrats changed their party affiliation compared to just 3,401 Republicans doing the same. Bucks County, which sits outside of the City of Brotherly Love, reported 2,089 Democrats changed their party affiliation compared to 1,624 Republicans. In Allegheny County, home to the state’s second-largest city of Pittsburgh, 6,564 Democrats changed their party affiliation while 2,202 Republicans did the same. The registered voter data comes after reports surfaced that concerns were mounting within the Democratic Party that the Harris campaign is failing to effectively connect with voters in Pennsylvania. Poor campaign management and staffers lacking relationships with Democratic political leaders in the Keystone State are allegedly rocking the campaign, Politico reported last week. The outlet reported that Democrats are worried that the campaign’s state manager lacks an understanding of Philadelphia, the state’s largest city, while campaign staffers have allegedly not invited local Democratic politicians to events in the state, and have not effectively deployed surrogates. KAMALA HARRIS ‘HAS BECOME TOXIC’ FOR PENNSYLVANIA, TOP KEYSTONE STATE LAWMAKER SAYS Politico reported that it spoke with 20 Democratic politicians, allies and party leaders for the story, who reported they are restless over Harris’ campaigning efforts. “Our campaign is running the largest and most sophisticated operation in Pennsylvania history,” Harris’ national campaign manager Julie Chávez Rodriguez said in comment to Fox News Digital when asked about the report last week. “While Trump’s team still refuses to tell reporters how few staff they have in the state, we have 50 coordinated offices and nearly 400 staff on the ground.” “While the Trump campaign closed its ‘minority outreach offices,’ we invested in targeted advertising to Black and Latino voters starting in August of 2023 and have now spent more than any previous presidential campaign on outreach to these communities. The Vice President is also campaigning aggressively in Pennsylvania – spending 1 out of 3 days in the state in September.” Vulnerable incumbent Democratic Sen. Bob Casey made national headlines last week when he distanced himself from Democratic Party leaders and launched a campaign ad detailing how he “bucked Biden” and “sided” with former President Trump. The ad features a married couple – Republican Marygrace and her Democrat husband Joe – praising Casey as an “independent,” citing his support for Trump’s trade policies and efforts to “protect fracking” from the Biden administration. INEFFECTIVE PLANNING, LACK OF CONNECTIONS HAS DEMS ON EDGE IN ‘KEY’ BATTLEGROUND: REPORT “Our marriage – pure bliss! But on politics, we just don’t agree. Except for Bob Casey. He’s independent,” Marygrace says, with her husband chiming in, “That’s right!” “Casey’s leading the effort to stop corporate greedflation and price-gouging,” Marygrace continues. “Casey bucked Biden to protect fracking and he sided with Trump to end NAFTA and put tariffs on China to stop them from cheating. So in this house, we agree, it’s Bob Casey who’s doing right by Pennsylvania.” MCCORMICK SEIZES ON PENNSYLVANIA SENATE RACE GAP, LAYING BORDER BLAME ON CASEY Casey has served in the Senate since 2007, ultimately becoming a stalwart within the Democratic Party, voting on legislation Biden supported, for example, 98.5% of the time, according to FiveThirtyEight data. He is now facing his toughest re-election effort yet, as he squares up against Republican challenger Dave McCormick. The Fox News Power Rankings score the presidential contest in Pennsylvania as a toss-up, with the Senate race a lean Democrat designation. The Cook Political Report, this week, however, shifted the Senate contest from a leans Democrat race to a toss-up race, underscoring Casey’s difficult re-election battle. CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP Pennsylvania is touted as the state that will likely determine the outcome of the general election on Nov. 5. A Fox News survey of Pennsylvania voters published late last month found Harris narrowly ahead of Trump by 2 points (50-48%) among registered voters, while the race is tied at 49% each among likely voters.

Trump with slight edge over Harris in this crucial Western battleground: poll
With two weeks to go until Election Day on Nov. 5, a new poll in swing state Nevada indicates a margin-of-error race between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Trump. According to the survey by AARP, Trump edged Harris 49%-47% in a head-to-head match up for the state’s highly coveted six electoral votes. The Republican presidential nominee holds an even slimmer 47%-46% one-point margin over the Democratic Party standard-bearer in a full ballot with third-party candidates. The survey is the latest of likely voters to indicate a coin-toss race in Nevada. As he runs to win back the White House, Trump aims to become the first GOP presidential nominee to carry Nevada since President George W. Bush in his 2004 re-election victory. Trump narrowly lost the Silver State in both his 2016 White House victory and in his 2020 re-election loss to President Biden. CHECK OUT THE LATEST FOX NEWS 2024 ELECTION POWER RANKINGS The AARP survey, conducted Oct. 8-15 and released on Tuesday, indicates the former president holding a narrow advantage among independent voters. It also points to a large gender gap, with Trump up 18 points among men, while Harris leads women by 15 points. Recent polls in Nevada and across the nation indicate an erosion of support for Democrats among Latino voters, and according to the AARP poll, Trump enjoys a slight lower-single digit edge over Harris among those voters. HARRIS AND CHENEY TEAM UP FOR A BATTLEGROUND BLITZ Of note, the survey doesn’t point to a large education divide. “There is only a small educational attainment gap, with Harris up 6-points with voters with college degrees, and Trump up 5 among those without degrees,” the survey’s release highlights. The poll indicates Trump with a seven-point lead among voters 50+, and a four-point advantage among those age 65 and older. “With the presidential and Senate races so close, appealing to high-turnout older voters should be a major priority for all the campaigns,” AARP Nevada State Director Maria Moore emphasized. “If candidates want to win in Nevada, they should focus on the issues that matter to older voters, from protecting Social Security to supporting family caregivers and bringing down the costs of necessities like food and housing.” Nevada is one of seven swing states whose razor-thin margins decided Biden’s 2020 election victory over Trump and are likely to determine if Harris or Trump wins the 2024 White House race. The Silver State is not only a presidential battleground – it’s also home to a crucial Senate race that is one of a handful that will decide if the GOP wins back the chamber’s majority. According to the poll, Democratic Sen. Jacky Rosen holds a five-point 49%-44% advantage over Republican challenger Sam Brown. The AARP poll was conducted by the bipartisan polling team of Fabrizio Ward (Republican) & Impact Research (Democrat). The firms interviewed 1,368 likely voters in Nevada. The survey’s overall sampling error is plus or minus 3.5 percentage points. Get the latest updates from the 2024 campaign trail, exclusive interviews and more at our Fox News Digital election hub.
Trump, Harris campaigns make Pennsylvania most expensive battleground, spending $538M combined: report
More than $538 million in advertising dollars spent by former President Trump and Vice President Harris’ presidential campaigns and their allies have been poured into the critical battleground state of Pennsylvania ahead of Election Day, according to a new report. The figure comes from an analysis published by the Philadelphia Inquirer on Tuesday. That makes Pennsylvania, which has 19 electoral votes considered critical to securing the presidency, the most expensive battleground state. According to the analysis, Democrats spent more than $294.7 million in Pennsylvania, and Republicans spent $243.6 million. Both campaigns and their respective allies spent about $185 million – or 52% – more collectively in Pennsylvania than the second most expensive swing state of Michigan, according to AdImpact. The top presidential candidates and their running mates have visited Pennsylvania 76 times since January, the Inquirer reported, though that jumps to 90 when including the stops President Biden made before he discontinued his re-election bid and endorsed Harris in July. JEWISH-AMERICAN GROUP URGES US CITIZENS IN ISRAEL TO VOTE AS ABSENTEE BALLOTS CAN IMPACT SWING STATES Most of those visits to Pennsylvania have happened since the beginning of August. Of Trump’s 25 campaign visits, 18 have been outside of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, as the Republican nominee has focused on Rust Belt towns like Wilkes-Barre and Johnstown. In recent weeks, his strategy has shifted to the suburbs of Philadelphia in Montgomery County, as he and his running mate, Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio, court more undecided voters in areas that can lean blue. “The blue-collar Trump voter, the union member Trump voter, the person who is concerned about the border Trump voter, the person concerned about his job in fracking, energy or manufacturing,” Trump senior adviser Tim Murtaugh told the Inquirer. “All of those people are Pennsylvania Trump voters.” KAMALA HARRIS ‘HAS BECOME TOXIC’ FOR PENNSYLVANIA, TOP KEYSTONE STATE LAWMAKER SAYS Harris has prioritized population hubs, making three-quarters of her visits to the state in Philadelphia and its suburbs and Allegheny County, which combined account for 44% of registered Pennsylvania voters. She and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, have also paid visits to smaller towns. “The strategy has always been, throw the kitchen sink at campaigning everywhere and not taking any voters for granted,” Harris senior adviser Brendan McPhillips told the Inquirer. “Our unofficial motto is go everywhere, talk to everyone.” Biden for President and Harris for President have spent more than $123.7 million since January on Pennsylvania’s airwaves, while Democratic PACs and issue groups bought another $171 million worth of ads supporting Harris that will air until Nov. 5. Harris and her allies have focused on Philadelphia’s media market, outspending Trump and his allies on streaming, cable, digital and radio ads. Trump dropped more on broadcast buys, the Inquirer reported. Trump’s campaign spent $52.5 million on advertising in Pennsylvania, and super PACs supporting the president spent another $191.2 million in the battleground state.
Elon Musk quietly donates ‘very substantial’ amount to PAC to canvass Hispanic voters
Tech billionaire Elon Musk has quietly donated a “very substantial” amount of his own money directly to a PAC that is canvassing Hispanic voters ahead of the 2024 presidential election, Fox News has learned. Musk donated to a PAC called The Hispanic Voters Alliance, which is canvassing voters in Arizona, California and Oregon to help Republicans up and down ballot. Fox News has also learned that the latest FEC filings for The Hispanic Voters Alliance will be released to the public on Thursday and will reveal the extent of Musk’s financial support. Musk’s donation to the PAC came from Musk directly and not through one of his PACs or organizations. The PAC has used the money in recent weeks to get out the Hispanic vote for Republicans. The PAC is associated with Rep. Tony Gonzales, R-Texas. Gonzales hosted Musk during the billionaire’s visit to the Texas border in Eagle Pass, Texas, last year. HERE’S HOW ELON MUSK’S $1M A DAY GIVEAWAY TO BATTLEGROUND VOTERS WORKS Musk has already made waves on the Pennsylvania campaign trail in support for former President Donald Trump’s re-election, including offering $1 million a day to swing-state voters who sign his political action committee’s petition backing the Constitution. Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are neck and neck in a recent USA TODAY/Suffolk University Poll, with Trump at 44% and Harris at 45%. Harris, however, appeared to be losing ground among Latino and Black voters. ELON MUSK RESPONDS TO GOV. SHAPIRO’S COMMENT HIS SUPER PAC PETITION WAS ‘DEEPLY CONCERNING’ The new poll found Latino voters now back Trump by 49% to 38%. Black voters prefer Harris by 72% to 17%, but that 55-point edge is significantly less than the advantage Democrats traditionally enjoy. Trump has made inroads among Black and Latino voters in the 2024 race by courting men, as he campaigns on the economy and crime. Fox News’ Danielle Wallace contributed to this report.
