In a matter of hours, the ballot boxes will close and the trajectory of the nation will be decided. The Biden administration has failed Americans in every single area — the economy, immigration, disaster relief, crime, and the protection of our constitutional rights. It has weaponized the government against its political opponent. It has partnered with Big Tech, Big Pharma, and the mainstream media to control Americans and the narrative.

It’s time to begin a new chapter.

Donald Trump and the diverse coalition that has formed around him offer the opportunity to secure our borders, protect our communities, and ensure that we have a government that is pro-America.

Kamala Harris dropped by the Democratic National Committee headquarters in Washington, D.C., before polls closed to gift a box of Doritos to staffers finishing off a phone-banking session, to hazard some remarks without the help of a teleprompter, and to engage in some make-believe.

“This is just the best, best, best, and I thank you all very much,” said Harris.

After signaling her appreciation for her staffers’ last-ditch efforts to turn out the vote, Harris walked over and grabbed a mobile phone, which supposedly had someone on the other end.

“Andrea, it’s Kamala Harris,” said the vice president. “How you doing? Have you voted already? … You did? Thank you!”

‘It’s all fake all the way down.’

Harris raised the phone as if to capture the applause of the Democratic organizers in the room but accidentally revealed that she was apparently not on a call, but rather on the phone’s photo application, with no on-screen indication of an ongoing call.

Despite killing the illusion, Harris made clear that she was committed to finishing her one-sided conversation with the photo app, saying, “Thank you so very much. You know, it’s so important that everybody participates, and I thank you because I’m sure you’ve got a lot of other things you could be doing. … Thank you. And you enjoy your day, okay?”

Critics rushed to mock Harris over her latest gaffe.

“The democrats are supporting a fake candidate running a fake campaign propped up by fake media,” wrote Blaze Media digital strategist Logan Hall. “It’s all fake all the way down.”

‘She truly is bad at this.’

Conservative producer Alex Lorusso quipped, “Those voices are coming from your head, not the phone.”

The Virginia Project, a Republican PAC, tweeted, “We’ve reached the point on Election Day when losing candidates start talking to themselves in public.”

All-American swim star Riley Gaines wrote, “There’s nothing authentic about Kamala or her campaign.”

This would not be the first time that Harris has strategically used fake phone calls.

On Sept. 2, Harris dodged reporters’ questions about Hamas terrorists’ execution of Israeli prisoners when boarding Air Force Two. The New York Post indicated that she had her headphones firmly inserted into both ears, but when skirting past the press, she also held the phone up to one ear as though that would achieve what the headphones apparently had failed to.

“PRO TIP: When pretending to be on the phone when you walk past the press to your plane, do not plug in the headphones so others can see and ALSO HOLD THE PHONE TO YOUR EAR,” tweeted former Trump 2020 campaign communications director Tim Murtaugh. “This destroys the illusion and tells everyone you’re full of it … again. She truly is bad at this.”

The FBI has arrested a Michigan man for allegedly threatening to murder conservative Christians if Donald Trump wins the election.

In a press release, the Justice Department said the FBI National Threat Operations Center received “an anonymous online threatening submission” on Nov. 2.

‘Sissel said that he hated conservative Christians, who he enjoyed threatening.’

That message promised to attack Christians:

I shall carry out an attack against conservative christan, [sic] filth in the event trump wins the election. I have a stolen ar15 and a target I refuse to name so I can continue to get away with my plans. Without a specific victim or ability to find the place I hid the gun, there’s not a thing the FBI can do until I complete the attack

Officials reportedly traced the message via phone records and an IP address to 25-year-old Isaac Sissel.

Sissel is now charged with one count of making a threatening interstate communication. The crime is a felony that carries a five-year prison sentence if convicted.

When officials located Sissel, court documents show that he told authorities that he believes Trump is a grave threat that progressives and liberals have not sufficiently confronted, according to MLive. Sissel allegedly believes violence is necessary to stop Trump and his Christian supporters.

“Sissel … stated that former President Trump was a threat, a ‘piece of s***’ that should have been assassinated, and that everything would be better if Trump was dead,” the criminal complaint said. “Sissel said that he wouldn’t kill Trump, but if he knew someone was going to assassinate Trump that it was his (Sissel’s) duty to not intervene.”

The criminal complaint also stated, “Sissel said that he hated conservative Christians, who he enjoyed threatening.”

Sissel, moreover, reportedly told authorities that he “wouldn’t rule out joining Antifa to protest” the election.

Officials reportedly connected Sissel to several social media accounts with ominous usernames highlighting his alleged intentions: “ShootUpTrumpRally,” “PlanningToShootTrump,” and “WillShootTrumpSoon.”

Sissel appeared in federal court on Tuesday. A judge ordered him held without bond until a second hearing on Thursday.

Election Day “self-care suites” — filled with milk and cookies, hot chocolate, coloring books, and even a Legos station — reportedly were offered to students at Georgetown University’s McCourt School of Public Policy, the New York Post reported.

The specialized school at the elite Washington, D.C., institution of higher learning is tasked with training our next generation of elected officials and diplomats, the Post said, adding that the tab for attending is just over $61,000 annually.

‘What kind of lives have these people led that makes them think that this is the right way to handle young people?’

“In recognition of these stressful times, all McCourt community members are welcome to gather … in the 3rd floor Commons to take a much needed break,” wrote Jaclyn Clevenger — the school’s director of student engagement — in an email to students that the Free Press obtained, according to the Post.

Also on tap at the self-care suites are “mindfulness activities,” the email also said, according to the paper, which added that the the suites are open Tuesday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

The Post said Clevenger didn’t respond to its request for comment Tuesday.

There’s more where that came from!

The paper also said similar amenities are offered not just on Election Day but all week long at the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma, Washington.

The Post said students there can partake of cupcakes in a campus lobby before traveling to the campus rotunda, where they can take part in a “walkable labyrinth” featuring “calming lighting and music.”

What’s more, students can indulge in arts and crafts that include beading, canvas-bag decorating, and painting while noshing on snacks, the paper said, adding that students also can visit a “Pause for Paws,” event where they can cuddle with animals and sip hot chocolate.

Finally, the University of Puget Sound is offering a “post-election processing space” where students can create collages, journal using self-care writing prompts, and eat comfort food from a baked potato bar, the Post reported.

The paper also noted that Jerry Seinfeld last week blasted the Ethical Culture Fieldston School in New York City — where the comedian’s kids attended — for letting students who become “emotionally distressed” skip classes the day after the election.

“What kind of lives have these people led that makes them think that this is the right way to handle young people?” Seinfeld asked the New York Times. “To encourage them to buckle. This is the lesson they are providing for ungodly sums of money.”

Remember when?

Readers of Blaze News may recall that this sort of coddling goes back a ways.

Just prior to Donald Trump’s 2017 inauguration, a Georgetown University LGBT student group planned on hosting a “Self-Care Night” featuring “Legos, juice boxes, and more!“Later in 2017, a “Meeting of Healing” took place at the University of Connecticut in response to a conservative speaker’s appearance at the school.Marquette University’s counseling center advertised a safe space for students to “de-stress” from the ravages of the 2018 midterm elections.

Entrepreneur and Donald Trump supporter Elon Musk will reportedly watch the presidential election results with Trump at one of his resorts.

Musk plans to be at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, where Trump and a small group of people are watching election coverage as votes are tallied.

A New York Times report cited three people with knowledge of Musk’s schedule as sources for his attendance, while two people were the alleged sources regarding the viewing plan.

‘Men are voting in record numbers. They now realize everything is at stake.’

Musk has been commenting on polling throughout Election Day using his platform, X, responding to posts about an alleged uptick in male turnout.

“Hearing reports from all over the country that men are showing up in huge numbers. The line at my polling station here in Florida is almost all young men,” a post shared by Musk read.

“This is a massive sea change,” Musk replied.

Later that afternoon, Musk further asserted that male turnout was happening in record numbers.

“The cavalry has arrived. Men are voting in record numbers. They now realize everything is at stake,” the X owner wrote.

— (@)

Trump is reportedly hosting several parties with varying levels of inclusivity. A dinner for a select few donors at Mar-A-Lago was reported as one example, while a smaller gathering in an evening setting will likely watch the results.

Prospectively, this smaller group would include Musk but could also include podcaster Joe Rogan, who recently endorsed Trump and interviewed Musk. It is also likely that this group could include Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and other close allies like Byron Donald and Tulsi Gabbard.

— (@)

Musk has also promoted an Election Integrity Community on X, which is linked to his pro-Trump America PAC. The community allows voters to share “potential incidents of voter fraud or irregularities.”

The group has over 63,000 members at the time of this writing.

As reported by Blaze News, the simple social media community has sparked outrage among leftist sources.

Wired described the group as “a cesspool of election conspiracy theories.”

Paul Barrett, deputy director of the Center for Business and Human Rights at New York University, called the community “an election denier jamboree.”

Outlet the Guardian likened the group to an “alt-right” message board that perpetuated “the baseless claim that the election was being stolen from Donald Trump” in 2020.

CBS also weighed in, suggesting the group is a digital space where “false claims proliferate.”

​Return, Trump, Elon musk, Election day, Tech 

Just 21 days before the start of early voting, Hurricane Helene delivered biblical-level destruction to the hills, hollows, and mountains of North Carolina. The massive storm brought devastating floods that killed 232 people — half of them in this state — and buried entire riverside communities in rivers of mud.

Now, residents struggle for basic supplies. More than 2,500 families are homeless. Crowded shelters are well above capacity. Hundreds of road and bridge closures are disrupting transportation and the delivery of crucial aid.

One-fifth of the state’s 7.3 million registered voters reside in the disaster area. Are candidate visits and pledges of support resonating with voters?

Two days after the storm, Gov. Roy Cooper requested a major disaster declaration from the federal government in order to surge assistance to state and local agencies and provide immediate relief to suffering North Carolinians. FEMA claimed in a news release that it sent 25 trailer loads of food and 60 trailer loads of water to North Carolina. But Hendersonville resident Andrea Corn says she has not seen a state or federal worker yet.

After the storm, Corn — a 55-year-old accountant who is more accustomed to preparing tax forms for local businesses than organizing relief missions — formed an ATV group to rescue elderly victims in Henderson County. Most roads and bridges had crumbled or washed away, and many folks could be reached only by going off-road.

Andrea and her husband, a volunteer fireman, brought supplies to victims stranded in remote “hollers.” Many residents were without power for more than a month following Helene’s visit. Samaritan’s Purse, a nondenominational evangelical Christian charity, distributed solar-powered lights to light the dark nights.

Abandoned by the state

Well before the storm hit, these Western North Carolina mountain towns were imbued with a culture of self-reliance. Residents call it “WNC Strong.” But in the wake of Helene, residents needed critical help that only government can supply: large-scale search and rescue operations, power and water restoration, and infrastructure repair.

Today, many of these residents feel abandoned by state and federal government officials. One question looming over the recovery efforts is whether it will impact voting behavior in Tuesday’s elections. “They are supposed to stand up for us, and we feel forgotten,” Corn said. “We’re going to need lots of money to recover, and our government is sending it to Ukraine.”

Chuck Edwards, Republican congressman representing Western North Carolina, said state emergency officials cannot account for the whereabouts of 400 pallets of FEMA-supplied food and water meant for hurricane relief. He has requested 1,180 FEMA trailers to house thousands of displaced people.

In Buncombe County, local artist and photographer Anna Hitrova said that volunteers — not government workers — brought her necessary supplies after the storm. “The only people I’ve seen on the ground in Buncombe,” she said, “are churches and Samaritan’s Purse.”

Hitrova said she had a “black-pilled moment” when she drove through neighboring Swannanoa. She saw families camping on the lots where their homes once stood. They were without generators, phones, or anything else. “It was a shock; I was crying,” she explained. “It hit me how bad it was to be cut off from the world. The government waited to respond while people were dying.”

The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services has reported that most of the state’s deaths were in Buncombe County, home of Asheville and Swannanoa. “When I found out that FEMA had used money for housing illegal migrants and saw our government giving billions to Ukraine while families were getting $750, I was furious,” said Hitrova.

Some assistance came from unlikely sources. Billionaire Elon Musk, for instance, stepped up to help. The SpaceX CEO donated 500 Starlink internet receivers to groups across the devastated area. Musk’s donation came after the urging of local state Rep. Danny Britt and former President Donald Trump.

“Here, people had lost their homes and had nothing, but they had painted signs that read ‘God Bless Elon,’” Hitrova said. “I realized that Elon gave these people a lifeline that the government could not.”

Election Day implications

North Carolina is a key battleground state with 16 electoral votes. Trump won the state narrowly in 2016 and by an even smaller margin in 2020. The current RCP average has the former president leading by only 1.5 points. Both Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris have visited the storm-ravaged region while campaigning.

During her Oct. 5 visit, Harris met with Asheville’s mayor and leaders of progressive groups such as NC Counts. After attending a local FEMA briefing, the vice president praised state and federal workers for the “nobility of their work and their calling.”

Two weeks later, Trump appeared at an Asheville recovery site flanked by Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Whatley, an area native, and numerous North Carolina politicians and local business owners.

The former president said the American people were the real heroes of the recovery efforts and that the state and local governments had let storm victims down. Trump said he had come to express a simple message to the region: “I’m with you, and the American people are with you all the way.”

One-fifth of the state’s 7.3 million registered voters reside in the disaster area. Are the visits and pledges of support resonating with voters? In Henderson, a predominantly red county, it appears so. “I was shocked to see the level of highly motivated people out here voting this year despite their difficulties,” said Henderson County GOP Chair Brett Calloway.

Andrea Corn said that access to voting was the number-one concern for Helene victims. “Some folks needed food, others had lost their home, and the first thing they were asking about was voting,” she said. “It was truly all that mattered for them.” Some residents told her they hadn’t voted in two decades.

Corn recently closed her accounting office so that her employees could help staff election sites. Calloway also says people are eager to help in the election campaign. A week after the storm, a man came into the GOP office to ask about volunteering. “I’ll have to do it around my wife’s funeral,” the teary-eyed man said. “My country needs me.”

As of Friday, nearly 58% of registered voters in the county had cast their vote. Turnout this year is 19% higher than in 2020. “Many of the voters we’re seeing are on the inactive voter rolls,” says Calloway. “Only 7% of our voters are Election Day voters, so there is no danger of Election Day votes being cannibalized,” he said.

By Friday morning, 3.7 million North Carolinians had voted, surpassing the 2020 early voting total. Later, the State Board of Elections reported over 4 million votes cast in 2024, with over half of registered voters participating.

“This year, voting is a symbolic act for me,” declared Anna Hitrova. A onetime Democrat who now publicly identifies as a conservative activist, she says she has “given up” on the current government. “I am going to vote, I am going to vote for Trump, and I am going to do it on the first day of early voting in the progressive city of Asheville.”

It’s Election Day 2024, and Americans across the country are beelining for the ballot boxes to ensure their voice is heard — and praying that their voice matches the masses.

Stu Burguiere of “Stu Does America” accurately predicted the unfavorable outcome of the 2020 election, and he’s here to calm the minds of those dropping a vote for former President Donald Trump in 2024.

“Gun to my head here, it’s time to make last-minute predictions,” Burguiere says. “We’re going to give Georgia and the 16 electoral votes over to Donald Trump.” While Trump only has a slight but consistent polling lead in Georgia, Burguiere explains that “the fundamentals of the state lean a little bit red.”

Stu also predicts that North Carolina, a state whose citizens are still reeling from the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, will vote in favor of Trump.

“Donald Trump wins North Carolina with 16. Again, same situation roughly as Georgia, it’s a very close state, it could go either way,” he explains. “But I think Donald Trump again, with a small but persistent lead in the polls, holds onto North Carolina in a very close margin.”

He believes the clearest state going to Donald Trump is Arizona, with 11 electoral votes.

“It’s still a traditional red state,” Stu says, before setting his sights on Nevada.

“This is one of these states I went back and forth on multiple times,” he explains. “I wound up going with Kamala Harris winning Nevada with 6 electoral votes. OK, I know everyone loves that, they love when I pick Kamala Harris in these states.”

Stu believes that the traditionally blue state of Michigan will go to Kamala Harris, and Wisconsin will go to Donald Trump.

Pennsylvania, the biggest swing state, is the most concerning — but if Stu is right — he has good news.

“I’ve decided to put Donald Trump in control of those 19 electoral votes,” he says. “The final count, Kamala Harris, 247 electoral votes. Donald Trump, 291 electoral votes. All of that to say that the official prediction of the ‘Stu Does America’ program, with incredibly limited confidence, is Donald Trump.”

“Donald Trump becomes the second president in history to have a presidential term, take one off, and then get the gig back,” he adds.

Megyn Kelly campaigned alongside former President Donald Trump at his rally in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on Monday evening.

During her speech, Kelly explained why she has chosen to vote for Trump, citing his stance on immigration as the reason.

“And people like Laken Riley,” Kelly said. “I’ll be thinking about her tomorrow all day. Twenty-two years old, killed in Georgia, a young nursing student, by an illegal. I’ll be thinking about Jocelyn Nungaray, 12 years old in Texas, murdered by two Venezuelan illegals.”

‘Oh, wait, I’m talking about Kamala and Doug.’

Kelly declared that Trump’s opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris, opened the nation’s borders “by choice” and that it “wasn’t accidental.”

“She said it would be humane,” Kelly stated. “That’s what she and her boss believed. Tell it to Laken Riley’s family.”

She also praised Trump for protecting women.

“The boys should not be in the girls’ locker rooms. Payton McNabb, North Carolina sophomore in high school, slammed so hard in the face by a volleyball hit at her by a boy pretending to be a girl. She suffered traumatic brain injury and permanent paralysis,” Kelly continued.

“Kamala Harris looks at her and says, ‘Be kind. Suck it up.’ And, ‘That’s what’s right.’ Why do our girls have to face brain damage in order to be kind to boys who want to invade their sports?” she questioned.

Kelly slammed Harris for changing the laws in California to allow prisoners to receive taxpayer-funded gender mutilation surgeries.

“She was not just following the law; she changed the law. President Trump will stop it,” she added.

“He got mocked by the left for saying he would be a protector of women,” Kelly declared. “He will be a protector of women, and it’s why I’m voting for him. He will close the border. He will keep the boys out of girls’ sports and where they don’t belong.”

She noted that Trump “will look out for our boys too.”

“He will not look at our boys like they’re second-class citizens. And ladies out there who want a bit of girl power in this election, let me tell you something: How can you win when the sons and the husbands and the brothers and the dads that you love are losing?” Kelly asked.

She took a jab at the left for backward views on masculinity and marriage, citing a campaign ad that encouraged wives to vote for Harris behind the backs of their Trump-supporting husbands.

“That’s their version of what marriage looks like,” Kelly told the audience. “An overbearing husband who bullies his wife into saying she voted one way, as opposed to an honest, open relationship.”

“Oh, wait, I’m talking about Kamala and Doug [Emhoff],” Kelly jeered.

She further slammed the liberal media for failing to press Emhoff on allegations of abuse.

“Vote Trump,” Kelly concluded. “And get 10 friends to vote Trump, too.”

Kelly’s endorsement of Trump marked a complete turnaround from their once-contentious past.

During the first 2016 Republican primary debate, then-Fox News host Kelly confronted Trump regarding his controversial comments about women.

“You’ve called women you don’t like fat pigs, dogs, slobs, and disgusting animals,” Kelly said to Trump.

He quipped, “Only Rosie O’Donnell.”

“For the record, it was well beyond Rosie O’Donnell,” Kelly replied.

The Legislature of Guam, comprising 15 senators of whom nine are presently Democrats and six are Republicans, has been under Democratic control since March 2008 — but will be no longer.

According to the unofficial results
released Tuesday and finalized early Wednesday by the Guam Election Commission, Republicans will control the legislature come January.

The Pacific Daily News
noted that while Democrats clinched three of the top five spots in the race for the legislature, Republicans ultimately secured a majority with all precincts counted, such that in January, the territory’s Senate will be flipped 9-6 in their favor.

Extra to flipping the legislature, Republican James Moylan, a member of Congress representing Guam’s at-large congressional district, defeated his Democratic challenger, Ginger Cruz, 52.69% to 46.81%.

‘The winds of change are blowing.’

While the residents of Guam cannot vote in American presidential elections, they nevertheless conduct a straw poll. In the 2020 presidential election, Joe Biden beat President Donald Trump in the straw poll 55.38% to 41.91%. This time around, Trump nearly closed the gap. Kamala Harris beat him in the straw poll Tuesday 49.56% to 46.22%.

Former CNN contributor Ryan Girdusky
suggested that a “political realignment” appears to be under way, highlighting that in 2012, Barack Obama beat Mitt Romney in the straw poll by roughly 46 percentage points. In 2016, Hillary Clinton beat Trump in the poll by 47 points. In this election, the Republican candidate was within three points.

Conservative filmmaker Robby Starbuck appeared to agree,
writing, “While meaningless for electoral votes, the winds of change are blowing.”

Republican gains in the Pacific are not limited to Guam. Kimberlyn King-Hinds appears to have successfully beat Democrat Edwin Propst to represent Northern Mariana Islands’ at-large congressional district.

According to the Saipan Tribune, Propst conceded the race early on Wednesday and congratulated King-Hinds, writing, “I wish you the very best.”

At the time of publication, King-Hinds had
secured 40.34% of the vote, whereas Probst netted only 33.27%.

Jillian Michaels became a household name years ago as she built a fitness empire, but she’s only recently woken up politically — which she tells Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” “started as a COVID moment.”

Michaels recalls the Los Angeles restaurant policy requiring that “you had to wear a mask when you walked to the table, but as soon as you sat down you were below the COVID layer and you were all good.”

“It was the stupidest f***ing thing I had ever seen in my adult life. It was utterly nonsensical,” she tells Rubin.

“So, from that moment then, you started in essence seeing the lies, right? And then once you see the lies in one way, it’s everywhere,” Rubin comments.

“Not only do you begin to see the lies everywhere, they were growing at an exponential pace, Dave. It was just, it was bananas. We weren’t allowed to have conversations, and we were saying things I knew were true,” she responds.

Four years after waking up, Michaels — who is gay and married to a woman — is faced with a decision.

“So, you’ve woken up. You were, let’s say, a moderate lefty your entire life, not particularly political. You’ve now seen the light, all of the stuff. The election is in a couple days from now. Will you be voting for Donald Trump?” Rubin asks.

“I’m not influencing anyone’s vote, right? I’m not telling anyone who to vote for,” Michaels responds, adding, “I did vote for Donald Trump.”

“He was not my choice for the candidates that were running for the primary. I do understand his flaws, trust me, I could list all of them. But the problem for me is that it becomes a question of lesser evils,” she continues, listing the First Amendment, never-ending wars, and Big Pharma as several issues on the ballot.

Michaels believes these issues are especially important, considering that not only have they all been censored so heavily over the past four years but those who speak about them often face consequences.

“Then they shut down your social media, and then they fire you from your job. It will come for you,” she adds.

The Libertarian Party of New Hampshire — the self-described most libertarian party in the most libertarian state — snubbed its party’s own candidate to endorse former President Donald Trump.

The Libertarian Party of New Hampshire rejected the Libertarian Party’s presidential candidate, Chase Oliver, and instead endorsed Trump in the 2024 election. Oliver is a progressive libertarian on several key issues.

‘The barbarians are at the gates. We must make sure that New Hampshire continues to repel progressives, socialists, communists, and leftists of all stripes.’

“There is, technically, a Libertarian on the ballot,” the LPNH said of Oliver. “This Libertarian spends his time supporting tax-funded trans surgery for prisoners, advocating for literal murderers, and trying to kick our members out of the Libertarian Party entirely. We cannot support him, and he cannot win.”

According to the RealClearPolitics average of polls, Oliver is polling at 0.8%.

The Libertarian Party of New Hampshire noted that the endorsement of Trump “was not a light decision” but added, “We feel it is the right one for ourselves, for our children, and for the best future of a Free State of New Hampshire.”

The political group admitted that Trump is not a libertarian but stressed the Republican was “the best candidate for libertarians.”

The Libertarian Party of New Hampshire pointed out that Trump promised to commute the sentence of Ross Ulbricht — the founder of the online illegal drug marketplace Silk Road — during his appearance at the Libertarian National Convention in May.

It also highlighted that Trump started no new wars — a first in over three decades.

The Libertarian Party of New Hampshire touted that Trump could appoint libertarian icon Ron Paul, as well as Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, to reduce the size of the federal government.

The group applauded Trump’s proposal to end the Department of Education.

The statement by the LPNH posted to the X social media platform highlighted that Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) – whom it describes as one of the “greatest libertarians in America” — gave his endorsement of Trump last month.

Massie said last month, “I want to be part of the alignment that puts the focus back on regular people instead of corporations and bureaucracy. One of the other pressing issues of our day is that our meddling overseas has put us on the brink of war, and I believe Trump is the only one who can pull us back from that. For these reasons and those mentioned in my endorsement, I came to the conclusion that this presidential election is too important for me not to weigh-in on.”

Trump and Massie butted heads in March 2020 when the former president called for the Kentucky representative to be thrown out of the Republican Party. Trump did endorse Massie in the 2022 election.

The Libertarian Party of New Hampshire was excited that Trump welcomed Bitcoin and cryptocurrency.

The libertarian group was also interested in Trump’s “flirting” with the elimination of individual income taxes.

“Trump promises much and we are skeptical of promises from politicians,” the group said.

The Libertarian Party of New Hampshire then warned about the dangers of the Democrats winning the 2024 presidential election.

“However, we know for certain what the Democrat alternative is: more socialism, more censorship, more taxes, more authoritarianism,” the statement read.

“The barbarians are at the gates. We must make sure that New Hampshire continues to repel progressives, socialists, communists, and leftists of all stripes,” the LPNH stated. “New Hampshire, being the only red state in a blue New England, helps achieve that goal. For these reasons and more, the most popular Libertarian state affiliate in the country is endorsing Donald Trump for President. Now get out there and vote!”

The last time a Republican presidential candidate won New Hampshire was in 2000.

President Joe Biden won the state by 7% in 2020.
