🗳️ 2024 War Room: A Late Republican Surge Threatens to Flip Congress

WHAT WE'RE WATCHING

🇬🇧 UK Labour staff are campaigning for Harris in the US. Nearly 100 Labour Party staffers are flying to US swing states to campaign for Kamala Harris, raising serious concerns among conservatives about foreign interference in American elections. Republicans raised similar concerns over the Ukrainian president tacitly campaigning for Kamala Harris in Pennsylvania. The Federal Elections Commission stated that foreigners may volunteer for American campaigns if they remain uncompensated.

🚫 Project 2025 contributors are barred from a Trump administration. Donald Trump’s transition team, led by his son, Don Jr., is keeping a list of people they plan to bar from working in his potential second administration, including former staffers linked to Project 2025 and officials who resigned over Trump’s handling of January 6. The list also supposedly includes many staffers who worked for former President George W. Bush.

💸 A juggernaut super PAC is going on a Harris spending binge. Future Forward, the largest super PAC in US history, is outspending both Trump's and Harris’ campaigns combined, pumping out pro-Harris ads in the final stretch of 2024. This super PAC has raised $700 million to boost Harris, but some on the left worry that their obsession with late ads is neglecting critical voter turnout efforts.

🛑 A Meta engineer admitted to censoring anti-Harris content. In a new undercover video from James O’Keefe, a Meta senior software engineer revealed that the platform deliberately demotes content critical of Kamala Harris and the Democratic Party. The engineer admitted that users have no way of knowing when they’re being shadowbanned, confirming the platform’s role in manipulating information flow just weeks before the election.
