Harris
The storm is headed to some swing states.

The Democratic presidential campaign expects eyeballs to be on the Weather Channel, and to that end they’ve committed to a one-week ad buy.

Per Medium BuyingKamala Harris is up on the Weather Channel through Sept. 30.

Viewers in the Sunshine State will likely see the Vice President through late Thursday night, with Hurricane Helene expected to make landfall around the Big Bend.

The Harris ad delivers a positive message, with the candidate vowing to be a “President for all Americans.”

The storm will barrel into Georgia from there and is likely to impact western North Carolina. Polling suggests that ads in Florida, Georgia and North Carolina could prove potent on the cable channel.

Trump won the state against Joe Biden by north of 371,000 votes in 2020, and the polling average shows Trump up by 6 points, though other surveys of the state show a much closer race than the average.

In Georgia, which Trump lost to Biden in 2020, polls show Trump clinging to roughly a 2-point lead on average.

And in North Carolina, Trump’s average lead is less than a percentage point.

      How about a McDonald’s hat? Wait a minute, she didn’t serve in the military and we aren’t even sure she worked at McDonald’s. 🤣

        DJT promised today to work a 30-minute shift at McDonalds. Manager better not put him on fries line.

          Lest we forget: Trump is a prime example of Vietnam-era draft dodgers who now imagines himself The Great Decider of world history. (Not that he has demonstrated much knowledge of world history and often lies about his own sorry history.)

        Maybe, maybe not. But DJT is obsessed by it. Perhaps he has always fantasized about working the French fries — and taste testing a few dozen fresh from the hot oil and sprinkled liberally with salt.
