Today it begins, Kamala has reached the point that she's the Democratic Party nominee:

There's video from today. this link has video from her first public appearance since Biden endorsed her:

She spent yesterday on the telephone for most of the day. I read that yesterday that she called the party leaders in all 50 states. That would take me three days.

She's renamed her YouTube channel, that's the where to go for video: https://www.youtube.com/@kamalaharris

This is her video on her channel from two hours ago:



To play it, start it, and then move it up to 5:47. This was one of those live videos which don't start at zero.

I've named this thread General Election 2024 Harris vs Trump

Trump needs an introduction post as well, a MAGA suporter ought to write it: @Farb, @SaintForLife , @Others, calling for someone to please introduce your GOP candidate for this 2024 general election thread.

This is today in GA. Once again - the hand-picked people behind him look completely bored and uninterested.

There is another pic of a small venue in NC. It's not full.

Everything but polling points to Trump getting stomped tomorrow.

I don't know who's going to win.

We're all in this together.

I think it's time for a relaxing Monday Night at the Movies. Make some popcorn.

Something to unwind over. Tomorrow's going to be hell even if it's wonderful.

He’s just a jealous, bitter, delusional old fart now.

 

[MT15]

Truly is amazing.

Just pulled up the feed for Harris’ final rallies on YouTube. They also have a Spanish language simulcast. It hasn’t started just yet. I read they are going to link like 8 different rallies in different states.

I’m a PEOPLE Writer Who Was Physically Attacked by Trump. Don’t Underestimate Women This Election

Former PEOPLE reporter Natasha Stoynoff broke her silence eight years ago about a 2005 interview with Donald Trump that took a dark turn. As she speaks with women across America about his third presidential bid, she feels something new: hope

After Kamala Harris became the Democratic candidate, TikTok and Instagram saw the emergence of a particularly vicious kind of misinformation – that Harris stole someone’s husband, specifically Willie Brown, a former mayor of San Francisco.

This is false. But these rumors were soon translated into Chinese and posted on X, with the language becoming “even more inflammatory”, according to the Chinese factchecking group, PiYaoBa. One Chinese influencer, whose tweet garnered more than 60,000 views, translated “stole a woman’s husband” as “mistress”.

This translation spread to other Chinese platforms like WeChat, accumulating more than 100,000 views and leading some users to refer to her using the word “chicken”, which in Mandarin is often a slur for sex workers.

It suggests how English-language misinformation is not only spreading in other languages – it also takes new, culturally specific forms.


In the year leading up to July, 228 major pieces of disinformation were targeted at Chinese-speaking users in a similar manner, garnering more than 4m views, a report from Chinese for Affirmative Action (CAA) found. And there has been a recent surge of anti-Harris misinformation.

The dissemination is called “platform jump”, when English misinformation is translated into Chinese and then shared on platforms with a higher concentration of Chinese-Americans, said Jinxia Niu, CAA’s program manager of digital engagement.

“About 80% of the attacks on Harris are essentially personal attacks,” said Niu, “very misogynistic and insulting, almost like shouting insults in the street.”……..

Rumors across various social media sites are magnified through translation and dissemination to other platforms

So GA, Mich and Wisc do not report any info on party, just numbers of votes (in person and mail)

So the numbers are just not accurate.

However if Harris is siphoning 5% of Republican votes and getting 65% of independents, she is doing well.

CNN was talking about early vote and comparisons to 2020 are difficult because Covid drove more people to early vote than years before.
I will breathe easier when I see the suburb returns in PA and GA.

Yeah if the margins are lower for Trump in previously held areas (or larger for Dem strongholds ), things will look good for Harris.

John King does a great job of explaining the results. The difference between 2016 and 2020 was a few percent in the red counties. If Kamala keeps with Biden’s percentages she will win.
