It’s a race to 270. With just six days until the 2024 presidential election, Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are seeking to motivate voters in key swing states across the nation in hopes of picking up enough support to earn 270 electoral votes and claim victory. Trump will speak to voters Wednesday afternoon in North Carolina’s 1st District, a region that is anticipated to determine which candidates win the state’s 16 electoral votes. Harris will only be an hour away, holding a rally in Raleigh, North Carolina. In addition to North Carolina, states to watch on election night include Pennsylvania, Arizona, Nevada, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Georgia. And Heritage Action for America Executive Vice President Ryan Walker argues that Harris should not count on winning Virginia, despite the fact that President Joe Biden easily carried the state in 2020.The razor-thin margins in the swing states indicate that it may take several days for the American people to know who their next president will be, and some states, like Nevada, pose a unique challenge to determining a winner. On Monday, the Nevada Supreme Court affirmed a lower court decision that mail-in ballots with no postmark can be received and counted until three days after the election. There is, however, a chance the winner will be known on election night, according to Walker."I think that the energy and enthusiasm gap is such this year that we'll know a significant amount of information going into Election Day," Walker said. "And if we can extrapolate those numbers and compare them to Election Day results in previous years or get some initial data on exit polling, there is a chance that the winner could be declared on election night despite some of these states having late arrival votes that they're still counting."Walker joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to discuss the key issues on the minds of voters this election, and to predict when the presidential election will be called.

Four years ago, news organizations and social media platforms deliberately suppressed or outright ignored the Hunter Biden laptop story—one of the biggest scandals of the 2020 election.This time around, those same media outlets are engaged in a different kind of censorship: hiding the radical policy ideas once advocated by Vice President Kamala Harris. A new poll from Media Research Center confirms even Harris’ most ardent supporters don’t know her extreme positions on everything from defunding police and co-sponsoring the Green New Deal to legalizing drugs and supporting open borders.Brent Bozell, MRC's founder and president, spoke with The Daily Signal about the shocking findings. He also recounted the impact of burying the Biden laptop story. A postelection poll in 2020 found that if voters knew about the controversy, they would've backed then-President Donald Trump."Trump would have won 317 electoral votes with ease. It would have been a massive landslide, but that's just the states we polled," Bozell said. "He would have won a landslide on the order of Ronald Reagan had they only known about the laptop."Bozell warned the media could have a similar impact on the 2024 presidential election by ignoring the most controversial aspects of Harris' policy positions."The media delivered the victory to Joe Biden in 2020," Bozell said. "If she wins, it will be because they delivered the victory to her."Listen to the full interview with Bozell to learn more about the poll, his take on the presidential debates, and why Democrats are more likely to undermine the First Amendment.
