Cracks In The Blue Wall?
36:59 Share

I'm Harris Faulkner. I'm Stuart Vonney. I'm Kat Timpf. And this is the Fox News Rundown. Thursday, October 31st, 2024. I'm Dave Anthony.

The road to the White House keeps running through the toss-up states. We focus on the one where they were dueling Trump-Harris rallies last night, Wisconsin. When you look at the most recent polls showing battleground Wisconsin pretty much 50-50, a tie, and going into this just days before the election, it's really hard to judge how this state is going to land.

I'm Jared Halpern. Pennsylvania could be key to winning the White House and the Senate, but a remark by President Biden is sparking new controversy. I actually think that that was kind of his inside voice talking, which is, I think there's an enormous amount of disrespect and disparagement for half of the population. We speak with Republican Senate candidate Dave McCormick. And I'm Jimmy Fallon. I've got the final word on the Fox News Rundown. ♪

The presidential race keeps being run through battlegrounds. This Tuesday you have to stand up and you have to tell Kamala.

That you've had enough, that you're not going to take it anymore. Kamala, you're fired. Get the hell out of here. Get out of here. Former President Trump in Rocky Mount, North Carolina, at about the same time, Vice President Harris rallied in Raleigh. If he is elected on day one, Donald Trump will walk into that office with an enemies list. When I am elected, I will walk in with a to-do list.

And then Harris told voters in Pennsylvania... We have an opportunity in this election to turn the page on a decade of Donald Trump trying to keep us divided and afraid of each other. They both held evening rallies in yet another toss-up state, Wisconsin.

Vice President Harris and Madison. Former President Trump rolled into Green Bay using a new method of transportation. How do you like my garbage truck? This truck is in honor of Kamala and Joe Biden. As the president finds himself in the middle of a campaign controversy that we'll detail later.

while former President Trump and Vice President Harris try to win Wisconsin's 10 electoral votes. I mean, it's really so hard to tell where this state's going to fall because when you look at our most recent elections, four of the six presidential elections in Wisconsin were decided by less than one percentage point. Jason Calvey is the political reporter for Fox 6 TV in Milwaukee. The Real Clear Politics Average of Polls has pretty much a tie in

in Battleground, Wisconsin. So that's kind of what we're seeing on the ground level is a community, the state that is really torn between Harris and Trump. Yeah. On Wednesday night, they had dueling rallies there. You have Vice President Harris in the Madison area. You have former President Trump in Green Bay.

Tell us about those areas and what the demographics are. - Madison is the capital of the state of Wisconsin. It is Dane County, it is a Democratic stronghold, and it's a county that is growing very quickly. So when you look at the total number of votes in 2020, there were 344,000. Now compare that

with 2016 when 309,000 people voted in Dane County. So you see that population's growing and it is a Democratic stronghold. So you're looking at huge margins for the Democrats. They really want to run up the score in places like Dane County and Milwaukee County, the two Democratic strongholds in this battleground state. It's also the home of the University of Wisconsin, so you've got a lot of young voters there. When you look at where the former President Trump is at, he was in Green Bay. That is a place where the

The surrounding areas there, Brown County is a place that he won. He won by 10,000 votes in 2020. He won it in 2016. So this is a Republican area where you've got a lot of the rural communities surrounding Green Bay. And so they really see that this is a place to go right now before 2020.

election day. It's obviously the home of the Green Bay Packers. So the whole state of Wisconsin, we have the one football team that everybody in the whole state cheers. So on Sunday, after people go to church, et cetera, they focus on the Packers. And so going to Green Bay, really speaking to a statewide audience, even though it's one community in the state, people are focusing on that because it's Green Bay. But you also have those color counties, the counties surrounding Milwaukee that

have traditionally been Republican-leaning and Republican strongholds even, and so they're really trying to focus on those voters. Is Milwaukee part of... I've seen these in looking through Wisconsin, and you deal with this, these areas, bow-wow counties. It sounds like a dog, but it's like six counties. These are regions. Is this where the election will be decided? When you're looking at those wow counties...

Those are the counties that surround Milwaukee. So you're dealing with Waukesha, Ozaukee, and Washington counties. They typically were GOP strongholds. So for example, when former President Donald Trump was on the ballot, both in 2016 and in 2020, he won 60% of Waukesha County. So you can see this is the county that has the

The largest number of Republican voters in the entire state of Wisconsin is rich with Republican voters. You're going to see those campaigns really targeting the voters in that suburban county of Waukesha. It's right next to Milwaukee. So when the campaigns come to Milwaukee, they're also in the media market that covers the entire region, which also includes Waukesha County as well. All right. Bow, is that the Green Bay area?

That's the area around Green Bay. So you're looking at an area, again, where there are Brown County. You've got more Republican voters there than Democratic voters. Former President Trump won Brown County. That's the county around Green Bay. He won it both in 2020, 2016. Every county, every community does matter. And that's why you're seeing the campaigns come here again and again. Both President Trump and President Biden have been there.

presidential nominees in Wisconsin on Wednesday, both presidential nominees in the state on Friday. It just shows how crucial the state is. Yeah. CBS in 60 Minutes has done a feature on a small county that apparently almost always gets it right as far as how the state ends up.

Yeah, Door County, if you look at the trends, who did they vote for in 2020? They picked Joe Biden. Who did they vote for in 2016? They went with Trump. I mean, when you look at it, this is a place that is a swing county in a swing state. They swung for the winner of the state both times. When you look at the most recent polls showing Battleground Wisconsin pretty much 50-50, a tie. And going into this just days before the election, it's just really hard to

to judge how this state is going to land. I mean, people want to talk about yard signs. Yard signs don't vote, but we're seeing yard signs where we might not typically see them for both campaigns. We're seeing Trump campaign signs in Milwaukee. I'm seeing Harris campaign signs when I go to some of the rural areas. I went camping a few weekends and definitely saw a lot of Harris signs. Again, yard signs don't talk, but it is at least one barometer that we're looking at as we're talking to voters in Wisconsin. We're seeing record numbers of people voting in person early

And there's been a big drive from Republicans and conservative radio to really encourage people on the right to consider voting early. Maybe there was some skepticism or criticism of it in past elections, really urging them to do it this time around. And we're seeing them take up that call and vote early at this time. Back to former President Trump arriving in Green Bay in that garbage truck.

Boiling over a controversy simmering since his New York City rally Sunday night when a comedian, Tony Hinchcliffe, called Puerto Rico a floating island of garbage, upsetting some Hispanic voters. But then President Biden, in condemning those comments as hateful, said in a Voto Latino event on Tuesday... The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters.

His demonization of him is unconscionable. The president later tried to clarify in a post on X, he was referring to the comedian.

Then yesterday, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said, No, he does not view Trump supporters or anybody who supports Trump as garbage. That is not what he views. Vice President Harris distanced herself from it all, telling reporters, I strongly disagree with any criticism of people based on who they vote for. Then came the garbage truck last night in Green Bay.

where the former president told a rally... 250 million Americans are not garbage.

That's after he said in North Carolina, Joe Biden finally said what he and Kamala really think of our supporters. He called them garbage. Now, as for the initial garbage comment, the former president told reporters, I love Puerto Rico and Puerto Rico loves me. I don't know. I don't know anything about it. I just I love Puerto Rico. Nobody's done more for Puerto Rico than me.

Will that Puerto Rico issue be a factor in the election in a toss-up state like Wisconsin? It's definitely something that people were talking about on social media, on talk radio, on both sides, people talking about that. But, you know, when I talked with undecided voters,

These sort of things, these controversies about Puerto Rico, other controversies in the past as well, where there was controversy about, you know, comments made eventually about the city of Milwaukee, whether it was a horrible city or not. People told me that that wasn't really going to sway their votes. They were, you know, obviously they had been focused on a lot of social media posts in the last few days.

But at the end of the day, is it going to sway these voters? In recent polls, about 1% of the state of Wisconsin said they were still undecided. And that 1% could potentially decide who wins this election when you talk about those margins being less than 1% in four of the last six presidential elections in Wisconsin. So what exactly is the... How is these comments back and forth on Puerto Rico going to impact voters here? I'm not...

convinced that that they are going to but you know you've seen some polling suggesting that former President Donald Trump was over performing with Hispanic males before this incident is it going to raise some question marks for those folks I'm not sure that was one of the things I was hoping to do was really get out in the field and talk to Hispanic voters on both of these comments from former President Trump at the rally in Madison Square Garden as well as what President

that President Biden said in the White House. As far as our Puerto Rican population in Wisconsin, we have about 61,000 Puerto Ricans who live in Wisconsin. I'm not sure how many of them are registered to vote. So a small part of our population, but again, 20,000 votes is all it took to win in 2020 and 2016. We go back in history as well. Look at some of those really close margins in the last decade or so.

There's also in Wisconsin a Senate race that's very important for control for whichever party has the majority in the next Congress.

Senator Tammy Baldwin is the incumbent, the Democrat. That race in the last Fox News Power ranking, it says, shifted from lean Baldwin to a toss up with Republican Eric Hovde. Is that as close as the Trump-Harris race? It hadn't been. The polling had suggested Tammy Baldwin had won re-election twice. She overperformed Democrats in past elections. So it was seen as a hard pick up.

for Republicans to flip that seat. But again, we saw really a discrepancy on the ad wars. So you saw the Huvdy campaign, the last two weeks of the campaign, they were out fundraising and out spending money on TV and radio ads, really overperforming on the campaign wars. And so we're getting bombarded with campaign ads. And Huvdy has been having more of them than Baldwin in the recent week or two here at

at the end of the campaign. Really, the polling's showing a very, very close race as the margin of error is, I mean, pretty much this is in the margin of error. We did a panel with undecided voters, a focus group with undecided voters, and they told us that they didn't think that the campaign was really swaying their vote. And what the undecided voters said was that they really weren't paying attention to the PAC ads

They said it kind of tuned them out. But man, they are hot and they are heavy right now. A ton of campaign ads in Wisconsin, a lot of radio ads, a lot of mailers, door knocks, you name it. Both campaigns really trying to get the undecided voters, which the polling is showing a very small number of Wisconsin. There's so many people voting that we might not get the results right when polls close at 8 p.m. Central Time. It's going to take a long time for them to open up all those absentee ballots. We can't actually process or count.

absentee ballots until the polls open at 7 in the morning central time in Wisconsin. That's when the courts can start opening those absentee ballots. And so have a little patience with Wisconsin because it might take a long time for them to count all these ballots. Yeah, we may not know until Wednesday, right after the election night.

What happened there? That's right. I mean, I was just talking with the former election director in Milwaukee, our largest city. And you may remember those vote totals came in for 2020 around 3, 3.30 in the morning on the day after the election back in 2020. She's no longer with the city, but she's estimating that they've actually sped up their processes.

And she thinks that we might actually have the results in Milwaukee and Milwaukee County by midnight. So, hey, stay with us. But it may be close, but it might not be all the way till 3.30 in the morning like it was the last time. Well, the 10 electoral votes up for grabs in Wisconsin could ultimately decide who the next president is. So it's certainly something that we're all watching. Jason Calvey, Fox 6 Milwaukee political reporter. Great to talk to you. Thanks so much for being with us. Thanks for having me. I was great to be with you.

Democracy 24 Election Reflections. Today, we look back at pivotal election moments that have shaped the country's history. From the first televised debates to a pandemic election, each moment has had a unique impact on the nation and those who helped tell the stories. I'm Kaylee McEnany.

This has been quite an election, 2024. And the moment I was asked to do this, I knew exactly what I wanted to say. I've covered a lot of elections, first in 2016 at CNN and kind of this Donald Trump victory that no one saw coming. And then in 2020, I was in the White House for that election. And now I'm here at Fox News as co-host of Outnumbered. And the moment that came to mind was

which was, to be honest, as someone who's a political nerd, the most exciting week of my life was the week of July 4th. I look at the news in an entirely different way, having been a former press secretary. And I look at the anonymous sourcing and those who are speaking to reporters on background. And that tells a story behind the story. And

And the Biden White House, you know, has been remarkably tight lipped. There have not been a lot of leaks, but that all changed the week of July 4th. I remember I was covering for Ainsley on Fox and Friends and for Jesse and for Laura, and I was covering for a lot of the hosts here in addition to doing Outnumbered and everything

Every single moment, it seemed by the minute there was someone leaking from the Biden White House or from the Kamala orbit or the Obama or the Pelosi orbit. And it really told a story. All of a sudden you went from a tight lipped White House and campaign to this voracious flow tsunami of leaks.

And on the record changes like Lloyd Doggett. I remember sitting on the outnumbered couch and Lloyd Doggett became the first Democratic congressman to come out and ask for Biden to step down. And then the dominoes began to fall. Nancy Pelosi went out and asked if Biden had an episode or a condition. Then she later went out on Morning Joe and said, we're waiting for Biden to make a decision about whether he's going to run, even though Biden had already made a decision that he was indeed going to run.

And Jake Sherman said something like that was a bomb that went off in the Democratic Party. And then I remember sitting at the Republican National Convention during Outnumbered and my producer gets in my ear.

And she says the Washington Post has broken a story and Barack Obama is having doubts about Biden's campaign. And then came Adam Schiff calling for Biden to step aside among many other developments. And it was like a domino, a tsunami. And then we had that infamous moment in July when Biden decided to step aside. It's like nothing I'll probably ever experience again in my lifetime. It was the most exciting week for someone who's a political nerd. And it

And it was amazing to be here at Fox News covering it moment by moment, second by second, as history unfolded before our very eyes. This is Jimmy Fallon with your Fox News commentary coming up. It could all come down to Pennsylvania. The Keystone State is shaping up to be the key contest, not just on the road to 270 electoral votes, but also control of the U.S. Senate. A Fox News poll out last night shows a dead majority

Heat in the presidential race between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Trump, 48 percent to 48 percent in Pennsylvania among likely voters. Harris holds a slight advantage when that is expanded to all registered voters, but still well within the margin of error. A crucial Senate race is also up for grabs and also in toss up territory between the incumbent Democrat Bob Casey and the Republican challenger Dave McCormick.

Casey holds a two-point edge, but that is down from a near ten-point advantage last month. But you know, this is a candidate who didn't vote in Pennsylvania for 15 years. While we were here in Pennsylvania working for the people, working all together like we all were, he was somewhere else. He was up in Connecticut. Casey has made McCormick's business career a key point of the campaign, saying when he was managing a hedge fund, his investments were flowing overseas.

Hear me out on this. He increased investments in China by 108,000% when he was the CEO. Casey has had big-time surrogates, too, including former President Obama and his longtime political ally, President Biden. Believe it or not, as much as there's been...

TV advertising. There's still a handful of people who don't know who I am. Dave McCormick is the Republican running the flip of Pennsylvania Senate seat long held by Democrats. So I'm going to make sure I get close to deal with them. Listen, here's what's happened since Labor Day. The contours of the race have become much more clear. This is a choice between change.

that I represent as a political outsider, seventh generation Pennsylvania business guy, West Point grad, combat torn Iraq, versus a guy who's been 30 years in elected office, has not been a leader. He ducks his head every time there's a controversy issue, but he's voted 98.6% of the time with Biden and Harris. And if Kamala Harris is the president, he's in the Senate, he will vote entirely for that extreme radical San Francisco agenda.

It's a choice between change and the status quo. And Kamala Harris at the top of the ticket

increasingly, the more people in Pennsylvania see of her, the more they realize that she is promoting a liberal agenda that they're just not in agreement with. Banning, trafficking, transitioning energy workers. I know she said she was not against banning. Now she's back to saying she is for banning. She's for legalization for illegal immigrants, federal benefits. She's for mandatory buybacks. These are in her own words of guns.

That liberal agenda is just not working in Pennsylvania. So the key here is to make sure that choice is very dark and clear.

And to get out the voters and make sure they recognize how important this election is, which which I say and I really believe is the most important of my lifetime. And I think that message is resonating. That's why we're seeing good movement in the polls. I mean, it sounds like you think that your Senate race is really closely tied then to the top of the ticket to the presidential race. Do you see that?

those outcomes kind of locked together? Or is there room for ticket splitting in the Commonwealth? Well, they're certainly very, very connected. President Trump is a big reason that the turnout, I think, will be quite big on our side. And he's, you know, I've been to a number of rallies with him and he's been very supportive of me and I've been supportive of him. But, you know, I've got to run my own campaign and I've got to build a coalition that includes independents and some moderate Republicans, conservative Democrats,

all of whom think the country is going in the wrong direction. So I'm very aligned with President Trump on most of his policies. But I got to run my own campaign. And people in Pennsylvania, they want an independent leader who's going to fight for them. And that's the candidate that I am. And I've laid out very clearly on my website, DaveMcCormickPA.com, what they can expect from me as a senator. I've been very specific, more so than any other candidate in the country, of

of what I'm for. If Pennsylvania results end up as close as polling suggests, it's likely to mean potential recounts in election-related litigation. Even before Election Day, the Trump campaign, along with the Republican National Committee and other GOP campaigns, sued Bucks County, a Philadelphia suburb, after voters trying to submit mail ballots were sent away due to long lines. We are going to fight this thing in court and all we ask of you is

is to stay in line. Donald Trump needs your votes. RNC Chairman Michael Whatley announcing that lawsuit Tuesday in Allentown. He says the decision in Bucks County violated state law. A judge agreed in a Wednesday order that extends vote by mail in that county by three days.

Still, it may not be the last of the lawsuits. In a post on Truth Social Wednesday morning, former President Trump wrote Pennsylvania is cheating and getting caught at large scale levels rarely seen before. I asked McCormick if he shares those election security concerns. There's been a couple incidents that, you know, I think are alarming. And, you know, we've seen good vigilance on the part of the people on the ground. But in Bucks County, there was a situation where

election officials tried to stop early voting at like 1.30, 2 o'clock in the afternoon when, because there were such big lines, they weren't adequately prepared for the size of the crowd. We have huge turnout for mail-in ballots, early voting for Republicans. And so there were some people that were encouraging, assisting the people in line

even though it was only 1.30, 2 o'clock. That's a violation of the rule. If they're in line by 4.30, they should be able to vote. The other example is that there were some what appear to be fraudulent registrations in Lancaster County, maybe a similar set of problems in York. And listen, we've got to be incredibly vigilant, and I think we are being vigilant,

There's an enormous amount of resources from the Trump campaign, from the RNC, from my campaign. We're going to have 7000 election observers. We're going to have 500 lawyers. And we need them because, you know, unfortunately, there is there is not only the risk of cheating, but evidence of actual cheating in the past. And we've got to make sure we have a fair election. I think we need to be vigilant. That's the best thing I could say. And I think we are being vigilant.

Sure. I know that you have been critical over the last several hours, obviously, about what President Biden was caught saying about Trump supporters being garbage. Is any of that on either side helpful for the type of coalition building you're trying to do?

Well, I'd say a couple of things. One, you know, after the assassination attempt on the president of Butler, I wrote an op-ed in The Wall Street Journal where I said, listen, this heated rhetoric calling President Trump a Nazi, comparing him to Hitler or Satan.

That kind of political rhetoric leads to political violence. And we should I'm opposed to that on both sides. So I think we need to dial back the rhetoric. And I've made that point on a number of cases. But what President Biden said, and I went back and listened to it.

multiple times after there was the response that what he was really talking about was this was an apostrophe. He was talking about an individual person. There's no way you can listen to that

and think that that's what he was conveying. And I actually think that that was kind of his inside voice talking, which is, I think there's an enormous amount of disrespect and disparagement for half of the population, that half of our American citizens, at least half, that are supportive of President Trump. And it reminds me of the deplorable statement

that Hillary Clinton made. And I don't think that's acceptable. I do think it's disgraceful. And so you have this scenario where Biden and Harris and Bob Casey, because he's been a sure vote, their policies have been

Horrifically bad for working families, runaway prices, the fentanyl crisis, wide open borders, crime in our cities. It goes on and on. And now to add insult to injury, you have you have this very specific and conscious insult. So I really hope President Biden will do more than clarify. I think I think he should come out with a full throated apology that says, listen, I

That was a very inappropriate thing for me to say, and I'm sorry I said it. And I also think that Senator Casey, who characterizes himself as President Biden's best friend, should do the same. Do you worry about some of what was said at Madison Square Garden over the weekend? A lot of attention obviously paid to calling Puerto Rico a garbage island. There are a lot of Puerto Rican people

Puerto Rican Americans in or Puerto Ricans in Pennsylvania that are going to be casting ballots if they haven't already. What has been your message to that community? I said, I think that was a very inappropriate thing to say. And I said so immediately at the time. And listen, I am deeply grateful that we have such a large population of Puerto Rican Americans in Pennsylvania. And I think that kind of

that kind of insult is inappropriate no matter who says it. I want to finish with some of the issues that are probably going to face the Senate early on next year, and if you are a member of the Senate, what will be faced with this. There could be votes as well on new tariff policies. Do you like the former president's view on kind of using tariffs a little bit more aggressively than they've certainly been used by previous administrations?

I do. I mean, I supported the steel tariffs when he put them in place in his first term. And here's how I think about it. There's got to be two principles that drive our trade policy. One principle is there are certain things that should be made only at home, pharmaceuticals, semiconductors. We learned during COVID we can't have those critical things in the hands of our adversaries or even in the supply chain where we lose control of them, which we did during COVID. Second thing is the principle of reciprocity.

We got to have a fair deal. And I think President Trump's right. We haven't had fair deals. What that means is when we have a trading partner, they can't have non-tariff barriers that block trade from U.S. companies. They can't be stealing our intellectual property. They can't have tariffs. And I think what President Trump is saying he will do, which I support, is to use tariffs

very strategically to make sure we get a fair deal. And that's what he did with steel. That's what he did with Mexico during the trade negotiations in his first term. That's what I think he'll do in this next term. And I think we'll get a much better economic trade policy, much better for workers in Pennsylvania because of that strategy. When you say strategically, you're talking about sort of using them for specific countries and specific products?

Yeah, I'm talking about using them in a way that makes sure that American workers and American businesses get a fair deal by industry, by country. So, yeah.

Have you given any consideration to who you think should succeed Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell next year? Absolutely not. I have given consideration only to winning this race and giving everything I've got to getting across the finish line November 5th. You got a few more events with former President Trump between now and Tuesday? I do, yeah. I have a number of events with him and looking forward to that. He obviously generates an enormous amount of enthusiasm. I feel...

you know listen this is a tough race i'm running i'm as the i'm the underdog i'm running against uh an incumbent a political dynasty and someone said to me the other day hey are you running for bob casey's seat

And I said, no, I'm not running for Bob Casey's seat. He's not, Bob Casey's not entitled to this seat. I'm running for the people's seat. I'm running to represent the great people of Pennsylvania. And the thing about political dynasties and any dynasty is they all end at some point. And I think it's just time for this one to end. And I'm hoping that I'll have the opportunity to be a leader and representative for Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania.

on November 5th. Well, Pennsylvania will be one of those states we have circled and highlighted less than a week from now. Really appreciate the time. That's David McCormick, the Republican running for Senate in Pennsylvania. Take care between now and Tuesday, sir. Thank you for having me.

So Joe Biden is catching heat for calling Trump supporters garbage during a Zoom rally. This is a big deal because normally Joe's catching heat from the sun on a Delaware beach. Yeah, we didn't realize it when we elected him. But when Joe promised to build back better, he meant sandcastles.

Now, the White House has tried to correct the record and say Biden was only referring to one of Trump's supporters. But anyone who heard the clip knows they're lying because it was one of the few sentences of his presidency that was spoken in plain English.

I kind of feel bad saying it, but Joe Biden really is the only president in history who makes the sign language interpreter shrug. Guy makes up words. So when he does stick the landing on a coherent thought, kind of jumps out at you. But the other reason it's impossible to give him the benefit of the doubt is because this is the same guy who once called MAGA Republicans semi-fascists during a primetime rally that was dedicated to bashing Trump.

And who could forget his claim that Georgia's voter ID law was, quote, Jim Crow on steroids, because according to him, black people don't have driver's licenses. Now, as it stands, Georgia's broken its state record for early voting. So it turns out Biden was Jim Crow on stupid. But the truth is, Democrats have a storied history of talking down to conservatives.

Whether it was Hillary Clinton calling them a basket of deplorables or Barack Obama saying they cling to guns and religion. There's a constant air of condescension and not even they can blame it on climate change.

Now, Kamala Harris is distancing herself from Biden's remarks, saying she'd never call voters garbage. Yet she did claim Trump and his supporters were holding a Nazi rally at Madison Square Garden, which I got to be honest, not the most endearing way to describe a group of people. So if anything, she's not even mad Biden insulted Trump voters. She's just mad at how he did it.

And sure, the Democrat pundits on TV are quick to remind us that Joe Biden is not on the ballot. That'd be a lot easier to take seriously if these weren't the same people who spent three full days bashing a joke about Puerto Rico that was told by a comedian who, yup, you guessed it, is not on the ballot. I'll take what is a double standard for 500 Alex? Yeah, that's a Jeopardy joke. But in my defense, I can't tell Wheel of Fortune jokes because nobody can afford to buy a vowel when inflation is this high.

which is why come election day, voters of all backgrounds are going to take out the trash once and for all and make the Biden-Harris administration old news in more ways than one.
