On his HBO show, “Last Week Tonight,” John Oliver urged undecided and reluctant voters to vote for Kamala Harris in the US Election. Oliver reasoned that he supports Harris’ proposals including expanding Medicare for elder care, expanding reproductive freedoms, and improving the incomes of poorer Americans. Oliver addressed those voters unhappy about the Biden administration’s policy toward the war in Gaza, saying he understands their reluctance but voting for Harris was better than allowing Trump to win. He expressed concern over the potential long-lasting damage of a second Trump term, including the possibility of Trump replacing Supreme Court Justices. Oliver emphasised the importance of voting, despite the politics being uninspiring, as it is a constant fight towards justice.

The Des Moines Register’s final poll shows Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris leading Republican Donald Trump by a narrow margin ahead of the election in Iowa, a state typically presumed to support Trump. Kamala had the backing of 47% of respondents, as opposed to Trump’s 44%. The poll, conducted by respected pollster J. Ann Selzer, is known as the “gold standard” for its accurate track record in predicting state-wide election results. However, Progressive advocates have urged that supporters should not place complete faith in a single poll, pushing for continued campaigning actions. The poll also reported that among women aged 65 and older there was a significant shift towards Harris, with 63% supporting her over Trump’s 28%, and independent-identifying women also favouring her, 57% to 29%.

The senior pastor of Cornerstone Church in Arlington, Texas, explains why he, an evangelical Christian, is voting for Democratic VP Kamala Harris for president. Despite traditionally voting based on social issues and aligning his beliefs with that of the Republican Party, he argues the GOP has strayed from its earlier stances. His change in voting decision is compelled by the character of the candidates, crediting Harris with having good character, integrity, and a record that can pass a background check. In contrast, he criticizes Trump for his moral inconsistencies, adulterous affairs, criminal convictions, race-baiting, and for not resembling the church’s values. He argues that evangelicals should move away from today’s Republican Party, which he believes no longer reflects their faith.

Kamala Harris made an unexpected appearance on “Saturday Night Live” during its Nov 2 cold open, which began with a CNN parody. The segment later featured a dialog among Harris, portrayed by Maya Rudolph, President Joe Biden, played by Dana Carvey, and other players in a campaign conversation. In a reflective moment, Rudolph’s Harris sees the real Kamala Harris in the mirror, leading to a humorous interaction. This fifth episode of SNL’s 50th season was hosted by John Mulaney with musical guest Chappell Roan. Earlier that day, Vice President Harris had been at an Atlanta rally with guests including Spike Lee and Victoria Monét.

Former president Donald Trump responded to a surprising poll from the Des Moines Register that indicated favor was swinging towards Kamala Harris in Iowa, a state that was previously 18 points in Trump’s favour. Trump accused the pollster of being biased against him and urged the state’s farmers to support him. This recent poll aligns with reportedly bleak internal polls for Trump and ongoing trends predicting key swing-state races favouring Democrats. GOP strategist Margaret Hoover believes these internal polls are a cause for concern for Trump’s campaign. Democrats are apparently in a strong position to take on incumbents, according to Race to the WH founder Logan Phillips.

A recent poll prediction showing Vice President Kamala Harris ahead of Donald Trump in Iowa has sparked a dramatic shift in election prediction markets. The Des Moines Register/Mediacom Iowa poll, conducted by highly respected pollster Ann Selzer, found Harris three points up on Trump among likely voters. Consequently, markets such as Kalshi, Polymarket, and PredictIt, which had previously favored Trump, saw a decrease in his winning probability. Over $174 million has been traded on Kalshi alone related to the election, and Harris’s chances of victory have increased almost 10 points within the span of a week. Despite another favorable poll for Trump, analysts consider the Selzer survey significant due to the accuracy and credibility of previous results.

A surprising turnaround in Iowa sees Democrat Kamala Harris leading former President Donald Trump 47% to 44% in a recent Des Moines Register/Mediacom Iowa Poll, despite Iowa’s swing to the right in recent elections. The shift towards Harris is primarily driven by older and politically independent women. Trump however continues to lead with his core base, which includes men, evangelicals, rural residents, and non-college graduates. The poll was conducted from October 28-31 among 808 likely voters, including those who have already voted and those planning to. This development comes as a surprise given the state’s recent electoral history favoring Trump.

A final poll before Election Day shows Vice President Kamala Harris leading former President Trump in Iowa by three points, a significant swing from the double-digit lead Trump had over Joe Biden in June. The survey suggests Harris’ popularity surge is partly due to support from older women and independent voters, with her lead among women aged 65 and older being more than two times. Meanwhile, Trump continues to lead among Iowans between 35 and 54 years of age. Democrats aren’t surprised by the poll’s findings, suggesting it aligns with sentiments heard from various voter groups in Iowa. However, the Trump Campaign and Iowa GOP Chair, Jeff Kauffman, dispute the accuracy of this poll, citing an Emerson College poll that shows Trump still leading.
