Former President Donald Trump said Tuesday that “I’m announcing that for the first time under my administration, we will be seizing the assets of the criminal gangs and drug cartels. And we will use those assets to create a compensation fund to provide restitution for the victims of migrant crime.  

“And the government will help in the restitution,” he added. “But something has to be done, and we’re going to get it done.”

“I just wish they’d stop lying because the lies are vicious,” Trump also said about the state of the race. “And probably some people believe them.”

Biden-Harris administration has brought the ‘worst inflation in our lifetime,’ Trump says

Former President Trump on Tuesday said that the Biden-Harris administration has brought “the worst inflation in our lifetime.” 

“Half of Americans are saying they’re broke. They have no money. Two thirds say they’re living from paycheck to paycheck,” Trump said during an event at Mar-a-Lago. “And that’s a record number. We’ve never had that, to that extent. We’ve never, ever had that. Millions of Americans are lying awake at night, worried about how they will pay their bills because Kamala wrecked their family finances.” 

“She’s got no empathy for the hard-working Americans whose dreams she’s killed, and said recently that there is not one thing that she would do differently from Biden,” Trump continued. 

“That’s only because she choked. I’m sure she could have come up with a couple of things if she really thought about it, because there’s been so much destruction caused by the Biden administration,” Trump also said.

Trump says Harris is talking about ‘Hitler’ and ‘Nazis’ because her ‘record is horrible’

Former President Donald Trump said Tuesday that Vice President Kamala Harris is “going out and only criticizing, talking about Hitler and Nazi[s] because her record is horrible. 

“Her borders are the worst in the history of the world,” he said. 

Trump then played a campaign advertisement featuring Alexis Nungaray, the mother of Jocelyn Nungaray, talking about the murder of her 12-year-old daughter. Two illegal immigrants from Venezuela have been charged with capital murder in that case.

“What Kamala did to Jocelyn and her family is the most heartless and cold blooded betrayal imaginable. Thousands of cases just like that, thousands in throwing open the border,” Trump said. “Think of it, open borders. They come in from parts unknown. People have no idea who they are, where they’re from, anything about them. They know nothing.”

“Kamala violated her oath,” Trump added. “She desecrated our laws and she got innocent girls like Jocelyn tortured and killed. Anyone who knowingly sets loose these monsters into our country has absolutely no right to be running for office, let alone the office of president.”

Trump says ‘we’re leading’ in seven swing states

Former President Donald Trump said Tuesday that “We’re leading, I believe, in all seven swing states” as Election Day is just a week away. 

“There are some bad spots in Pennsylvania where, some serious things have been caught or in the process of being caught,” Trump said, without elaborating, before adding, “but, the election itself is going very well.” 

“In less than four years, Kamala Harris has obliterated our borders, obliterated. We’ve never had a situation like this. Decimated the middle class and runaway inflation has caused problems the likes of which we never thought possible,” Trump added during an event at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida. 

“I’m running on a plan to save America. We’re going to save America,” he also said.

Charlamagne Tha God says Shapiro should have been Harris VP pick: Walz not ‘ready for the big stage’

Multimedia mogul Charlamagne Tha God insisted Vice President Kamala Harris should have pickedPennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro to be her running mate on the Democratic ticket instead of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, whom he suggested wasn’t ready for primetime. 

In an interview on The New Yorker’s “The Political Scene” podcast, Charlamagne listed Harris and Shapiro among other Democrats he praised as representing a new generation of leaders. 

New Yorker editor David Remnick quickly pointed out Walz wasn’t on the list.

“What do you think of him?” Remnick asked.  “You gonna get me in trouble,” Charlamagne jokingly responded. 

The “Breakfast Club” co-host cited lyrics from rapper Jay-Z to capture how he felt about Walz: “You had a spark when you started, but now you’re just garbage.”

“And I’m not saying he’s garbage,” Charlamagne quickly clarified. “I think that a lot of the policies that he introduced in Minnesota are very, very, very good, but I think that they hired – I think he got the job because of vibes. And I don’t know if those vibes were ready for the big stage like people thought that they were.”

Indiana governor’s race shifts from Likely R to Lean R in Power Rankings

A shift in Indiana’s governor race. (Fox News)

In Indiana, Republican gubernatorial candidate Sen. Mike Braun should have been able to cruise to victory against any Democratic opponent.

But Braun’s hardline position on abortion has given Democrat Jennifer McCormick an opening. The state enacted a near total ban on abortion two years ago, which McCormick argues is too extreme. Braun maintains that Indiana should be a “right-to-life state.”

There are also unusual partisan dynamics at play. The GOP’s candidate for lieutenant governor could impact support for the Republican ticket among moderates, and there is a Libertarian on the ballot.

Indiana’s governor race moves from Solid R to Likely R in the latest Fox News Power Rankings.

Harris-Walz campaign co-chair responds to Trump being called ‘fascist’ and ‘Hitler’

Harris-Walz campaign co-chair Cedric Richmond told “America’s Newsroom” Tuesday that “If you want to know why people call Trump Hitler, maybe you should start with JD Vance who did that.”

Richmond was referring to Vance calling Trump potentially “America’s Hitler” and an “idiot” prior to the 2016 election. Vance has since said he was wrong about Trump and is now on the 2024 Republican ticket.

“Fascist was an answer to a question that was asked at a town hall and it was a direct question and the vice president gave a very direct answer,” Richmond added. “And it’s consistent with the people who worked around him.”

“We have a to-do list and he has a hit list of people that he wants to get revenge on. So we are going to stay focused on the American people, he will stay focused on the people he wants to get revenge at,” he also said. “And that is the choice that voters are going to have to make.”

Control of House remains ‘toss-up’ in new Power Rankings

Fox News Power Rankings House table. (Fox News)

The House is still a toss-up in this week’s Fox News Power Rankings; the final forecast before the election.

Beneath the surface, the battle for the gavel is getting more expensive. House candidates have spent more than $3 billion on their races so far, concentrated in roughly 40 battleground districts.

Democrats have raised and spent nearly twice as much as Republicans, and that is an important factor in Pennsylvania’s 7th district. 

Incumbent Democratic Rep. Susan Wild is financially dominant, with $7.5 million in campaign spending this cycle to GOP rival and state Rep. Ryan Mackenzie’s $1.2 million. The district moves from Toss Up to Lean D.

Money is also a big part of the story in Illinois’ 17th district and Indiana’s 1st district. Democratic incumbents in these races have spent at least three times as much as their Republican opponents.These seats move from Lean D to Likely D.

The cash is flowing in Arizona’s 2nd district too. Incumbent GOP Rep. Eli Crane faces a challenge from Democrat and former President of the Navajo Nation Jonathan Nez in this disproportionately Native American district. 

Nez has dropped $3.7 million on the race and is focusing on his work with Trump on water access. Crane, meanwhile, is highlighting the border. The 2nd district moves from Solid R to Likely R.

Virginia’s 7th district is more competitive than ever. Democrats have fielded Eugene Vindman, a Navy veteran, while Republicans are looking for a flip with attorney Derrick Anderson. This district moves from Lean D to Toss Up.

Power Rankings forecast GOP control of Senate, 3 races shift to ‘toss-up’

Fox News Power Rankings Senate battleground shifts. (Fox News)

Republicans are poised to flip the Senate with at least 51 seats, beginning with an all-but-certain win in West Virginia, followed by Montana, where they have an edge. The next best opportunity is in Ohio, which is still a toss-up.

Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin all move from Lean D and join the toss-up category this week.

Republicans have been chipping away at their opponents’ leads in these states since the campaigns heated up, and polling now shows races within the margin-of-error.

All three Democratic candidates are still over-performing the top of the ticket by a point or two, and the campaigns are clearly aware: they have all promoted their work with Trump on bipartisan bills in new television ads.

The GOP is unlikely to pick off all three of these seats, but any would be gravy on top of a likely majority flip.

Fox News Power Rankings: Arizona is Trump’s to lose, but this election is anyone’s to win

Trump has consistently held the advantage in battleground state Arizona. (Fox News)

After an unprecedented four years in politics, voters are evenly divided on who should next lead the free world.

Former President Donald Trump is one state closer to a stunning comeback in this week’s Fox News Power Rankings; the final forecast before the election.

But Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris both have pathways to victory, and among many scenarios, it is plausible that Democrats win by a single electoral vote.

The presidential race is a toss-up. Neither Harris nor Trump have the 270 electoral votes required to win the race. They need to win the right combination of six toss-up states worth a total 82 electoral votes to bring it home.

Surveys show races within the margin-of-error in all the battleground states, but when looked at together, the polling in Arizona tells a different story.

In eight high-quality polls conducted in this state since August, Trump has been ahead in seven. His edge has been between 1-6 points.

That advantage does not exist for Harris or Trump in any other battleground state.
