The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 3:
5:00pm- During a Trump campaign event on Tuesday, former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard—who served in the House of Representatives as a Democrat—announced that she was joining the Republican Party. She appeared on Fox News and explained: “Independent thinkers like me have no home in the Democrat Party of censorship and total conformity and war. Under President Trump's leadership, the Republican Party welcomes people like us."
5:15pm- While appearing on MSNBC, Ian Sams—Spokesperson for Vice President Kamala Harris—said that due to scheduling issues, Harris will not appear on Joe Rogan’s podcast. Donald Trump will appear on the podcast today, with the episode ultimately being made public this weekend.
5:20pm- George Packer, writer for The Atlantic, attempted to explain why Black and Hispanic voters are backing Donald Trump: “The sharpest divide in our politics today is education. Whether you have a college degree or not. That is the likeliest determinant of if you are going to vote Republican or Democrat. That's why we're seeing larger numbers of Latinos and Black voters who are moving toward Trump." Packer makes it seem like college graduates are “enlightened”—but is it really closer to indoctrinated? The Harvard Crimson recently released data on faculty donations for the 2024 election cycle. 94% of all faculty donations went to Democrats.
5:30pm- Matt’s favorite member of Congress, Hank Johnson, announces his endorsement of Kamala Harris—which is the perfect excuse to play some of his greatest hits: apologizing for offending “little people,” worrying about Guam becoming overpopulated and capsizing, and accusing the Tooth Fairy of being too woke and anti-Christian.
5:45pm- 4:00pm- Bombshell WSJ Poll: A newly released Wall Street Journal poll reveals that Donald Trump now leads Kamala Harris nationally‚ 49% to 46% in a head-to-head matchup.

5:50pm- In a New York Times editorial, polling expert Nate Silver said his “gut says Trump” will win the 2024 presidential election. He also noted that pollsters may be “herding toward a false consensus” and that, according to his model, “there’s about a 60 percent chance that one candidate will sweep at least six of seven battleground states.” You can read the full editorial here: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/23/opinion/election-polls-results-trump-harris.html
