US consumer confidence plunged in September by the most in three years as Americans continue to grapple with high prices and a shaky labor market.


The Consumer Confidence Index plummeted 6.9 points in September to 98.7 – the steepest drop since August 2021, according to data released Tuesday. The data came in well below economists’ expectations, according to a Bloomberg survey

When you're the Democratic nominee and you're either tied or trailing nationally in the Quinnipiac Poll in September, you might want to try harder for that that second debate .

Even the NY Slimes is calling out her poor performance during a softball interview​

3 Takeaways From Kamala Harris’s Interview on MSNBC​



In her first one-on-one cable TV interview since becoming the nominee, the vice president repeatedly dodged direct questions and stuck firmly on message.


Harris had roundabout answers to open-ended questions.​


Instead of offering any explanation for why Mr. Trump polls better on the economy — a matter that has vexed Democrats as President Biden has overseen a steadily improving economy — Ms. Harris instead blasted Mr. Trump’s record. She blamed him for a loss of manufacturing and autoworker jobs and said his tariff proposalswould serve as an added sales tax on American consumers.

She said nothing about why voters think Mr. Trump and Republicans would be better on the economy.

But she did say her policies are for everyone.

“If you are hardworking, if you have the dreams and the ambitions and the aspirations of what I believe you do, you’re in my plan,” Ms. Harris said.

She avoided a looming scenario: What if Democrats lose the Senate?​


“But we’re going to have to raise corporate taxes,” she said. “We’re going to have to make sure that the biggest corporations and billionaires pay their fair share. That’s just it. It’s about paying their fair share. I am not mad at anyone for achieving success, but everyone should pay their fair share.”

That is an argument she may find herself making to very skeptical Senate Republicans next year if she wins the White House.

A hard-hitting Harris interview is still yet to come.​


Since Ms. Harris began granting more interviews in recent days, her media strategy has been to sit with friendly inquisitors who are not inclined to ask terribly thorny questions or press her when her responses are evasive.

Nothing about that changed during her interview with Ms. Ruhle before her audience on MSNBC, the liberal cable channel whose viewers overwhelmingly favor Democratic candidates.

Kamala Harris' Border Visit Backfires Before She Even Arrives - Border Patrol Union Releases Statement​



:an_light:

Border Patrol union statement to @FoxNews re: VP Kamala Harris’ border visit in AZ today - her first visit to the southern border since June 2021 when she went to El Paso, TX.

“After years of not just ignoring the problem, but helping create it, Vice President Kamala Harris is finally headed down to the border. This is nothing more than for her to check the box, but what it is in reality is a slap in the face towards the men and women that put their lives on the line every day, and also a slap in the face to the American public. Where has she been?"

-Art Del Cueto, VP, National Border Patrol Council

this is sorta coulis is why the republicans are losing voters.

Texas House Rep. John Lujan made this claim on Texas Public Radio during a lengthy interview about key campaign issues in his race against Democratic candidate Kristian Carranza.

“If I had a daughter, and that would have been, you know, it would have been a rape," Lujan said. "I would say no, we're going to have the baby.”

Senator Tom Cotton

"She wants to ban gas-powered cars. She wants to give reparations based on race. She wants to ban fracking. She wanted to take away private health insurance on the job. There are not positions that she took as a teenager in high school. There are positions she took as a 54-year-old woman running for president... That's the true Kamala Harris — a weak, dangerous, San Francisco liberal."

A little illegal immigrant problem with Hispanics for the Border Czar ?


Why Hispanics are abandoning Democrats — and could put Trump back in the White House​


It’s not hard to see why Hispanics might be growing disaffected with Harris and the Democrats.

Their communities are especially affected by the massive influx of migrants. Most communities where migrants cross are heavily Hispanic, and surely a large number of those caught and released settle in Latino neighborhoods, where the people and language are more familiar.

This means Hispanics more than any other ethnic group likely bear the brunt of the migrants’ disruption. Crime that occurs happens on their streets. The jobs migrants try to get are the same ones many Hispanic citizens also hold and covet.

The rocky economy also affects Latinos more than the upper-class whites who set the Biden administration’s policies. Inflation always ravages the poor and working class first, and Hispanics tend to be poorer and less educated than white Americans.

Unemployment is also up among Hispanics, reaching 5.5% in the most recent jobs report. Stagnant or falling real wages and shrinking job prospects always hurt the incumbent party.

This drop among Latinos could be fatal to Harris’ hopes in Nevada and Arizona.

So much for policy....running on race 100% now.
This rhetoric won't win this election. same old act..he's the entertainer who has no new material.


"They will walk into your kitchen, they'll cut your throat," Trump said of illegal immigrants.

"Small towns in America are terrified of migrants coming in and, even when they haven't arrived, they’re terrified," he said. They will "rape, pillage, thieve, plunder and kill the people of the United States of America."

The illegal migrants, whom he called "animals," will take the jobs of minorities and of union workers, he added.

Apparently rankled by Harris’s bid Friday to deliver a tough message on the Mexican border, Trump cursed on the nationally streamed event and branded her "a liar."

He complained that Fox News, the conservative network which has provided him with a loyal platform throughout his White House career, had covered Harris's speech.

"They shouldn’t be allowed to put it on," he said.

Evidently, Trump was aware that his speech was unlike what Americans have been used to in presidential campaigns over the years.

He paused at one point to say: "Isn’t this a wonderful and inspiring speech? I’ve got people sitting in the front row -- they’re going 'oh my God.'"

"This is a dark, this is a dark speech," he said.

Tim Walz is telling people he’s just as nervous about facing JD Vance as he was the Sunday afternoon in August when he warned Kamala Harris in his running mate interview that he was a bad debater.

Maybe more nervous, according to multiple people who’ve spoken to him.

Walz is also feeling pressure that a bad performance will disappoint Kamala Harris who has already privately expressed frustrations with Walz's awkwardness and blunders on the campaign trail, such as referring to her as a "prostitutor."

Gwen Walz is angry that her husband is being put through the humiliation of debating Vance.

After returning from her glitzy fundraisers in San Francisco, Kamala Harris showed up to the FEMA headquarters, spent less than five minutes reading off a script about hurricane relief, and then bolted before the press could ask her questions.

“I’m not feeling my best right now about where we are on Kamala Harris in a place like Michigan,” Slotkin said alongside New Jersey Senator Cory Booker at a fundraising event last Wednesday, according to a video obtained by Axios.


“We have her underwater in our polling.”

Trump has more working class support than any GOP presidential candidate in a generation. He's on track for the best performance among union voters in 40 years. He's up 31 points among trade school grads.

He's doing 17 pts better among nonwhite non-college voters than in 2020.

Harris has also been polling worse among "non-college voters of color" than Democrats have in previous elections, while Trump has gained support within that demographic, according to CNN.
