Video supposedly showing Vice President Kamala Harris yawning went viral due to a competing effort that claimed it was Harris, not Trump, who is exhausted.
Kamala Harris can be seen yawning while seated aboard her plane in a video that was shared by the Trump war room, as Breitbart News reported.
Kamala Harris's campaign recently launched an assault against the former vice president, claiming that the 78-year-old Republican presidential candidate was exhausted.
This attack came at a time when Donald Trump was canceling several interviews with mainstream media outlets. 'Yikes,' Trump war room posted sharing a video of Kamala Harris sitting inside her plane and yawning.

"Kamala is exhausted -- cracking under the rigors of a presidential campaign after she was installed as a nominee who didn't earn a single vote," the Trump supporter's handle posted.
Several MAGA handles shared the video and mocked the vice president.
"Kamala's constantly saying that Trump is exhausted.. here is Kamala yawning. She doesn't have the stamina to run our country. They would have to dig her back out of bed just like they have to with Biden," one wrote.
"Has anyone ever seen Donald Trump this exhausted," another wrote.
Just weeks ago the Harris campaign shared a video, asserting that it showed Trump nodding off at a campaign event, asserting that the 78-year-old presidential contender was too "exhausted" to run for office.
"An exhausted Trump appears to be falling asleep during his campaign event," the Harris campaign posted to its X account.
This is just one of many accusations leveled by the Harris campaign on Friday in an effort to portray Trump as "exhausted."
This comes after a story in Politico said that a Trump adviser had told the former president he was "exhausted" and was declining interviews.
"Being president of the United States is probably one of the hardest jobs in the world," Harris said to reporters in Grand Rapids, Michigan, referencing the Politico report.
"And so, we really do need to ask if he’s exhausted being on the campaign trail, is he fit to do the job?"
However, following the Harris video making the rounds, one user responded saying, "Kamala is seen falling asleep on her plane after an easy day campaigning. 18 years younger than Trump, and she can't keep up with him. Who's the exhausted one?"
The final battle lines have been drawn, and the two leading presidential candidates are raking in the last bits of support they can muster.
The more surprising of those elements ore the ones who reach across the political aisle and pick up the torch for a candidate that violates their political history.
Such was the case with former Republican President George W. Bush's daughter, Barbara Pierce Bush.
Barbara, named for her grandmother, and first lady in the first Bush administration under George H.W. Bush, is now stumping for Vice President Kamala Harris.
“It was inspiring to join friends and meet voters with the Harris-Walz campaign in Pennsylvania this weekend," Pierce Bush said, according to Breitbart News.
"I’m hopeful they’ll move our country forward and protect women’s rights,” the former first daughter and first granddaughter went on.
Bush’s paternal grandfather, George H.W. Bush, sat in the oval office from 1989 to 1993, and her father, George W. Bush was president from 2000-2008.
Pierce Bush, 42, one of the twin daughters of the 43rd president, describes herself as an independent and does not fully identify with either major party, despite her Republican family background.
Also in 2017, Pierce Bush, a mother of two, expressed her support for Planned Parenthood at a fundraiser.
“I am proud to stand with Planned Parenthood not only because women, regardless of where they are from, deserve to live dignified, healthy lives, [but] … because it’s a really good investment,” she said at the time, per The Texas Tribune.
“We know that when women are healthy, their families and their children are healthier, too.”
She has also defied Republican Party orthodoxy on abortion and same-sex marriage, as has her mother, former First Lady Laura Bush. In the 2024 cycle, both George W. and Laura Bush have declined to endorse.
First Lady Barbara Bush has a long-standing animosity against Republican contender Donald Trump and had also broken with the GOP on abortion, as all first ladies of the Republican party since Roe v. Wade had done.
Furthermore, former Vice President Dick Cheney has endorsed Harris, and his daughter, former Representative Liz Cheney (R-WY), has consistently advocated for Harris during the campaign.
During the 2016 Republican primary, George W. Bush's brother, former Florida GOP Gov. Jeb Bush, famously engaged in a contentious debate with the real estate magnate.
However, George P. Bush, Jeb's eldest son, had expressed his admiration for Trump during his unsuccessful campaign for Texas attorney general in 2022.
Ten days before the 2024 presidential election, Republican nominee former President Donald Trump earned a key endorsement from Muslim leaders in the battleground state of Michigan.
"I’m thrilled to accept the endorsement of these highly respected leaders," Trump told a thundering crowd at a rally in Novi, Michigan as he brought them on stage.
The leaders said they were supporting Trump because of his efforts to bring peace to the Middle East and end wars everywhere.
"We, as Muslims, stand with President Trump because he promises peace, not war!" Imam Belal Alzuhairi said.
"We are supporting Donald Trump because he promised to end war in the Middle East and Ukraine," Alzuhairi said. "The bloodshed has to stop all over the world, and I think this man can make that happen. I personally believe that God saved his life twice for a reason."
"We're going to stop the wars, we're going to make the United States safe again, and we're going to make the world safe," Dearborn Heights Mayor Bill Bazzi, the first Muslim-American and Arab mayor there, said.
"What a nice endorsement," Trump said after Bazzi’s speech. "These are great people."
The endorsement followed one by Detroit suburb Hamtramck Mayor Amer Ghalib on October 20.
"Though it’s looking good, he may or may not win the election and be the 47th president of the United States, but I believe he is the right choice for this critical time," Ghalib wrote in Arabic on Facebook. "I’ll not regret my decision no matter what the outcome would be, and I’m ready to face the consequences. For this, and for many other reasons, I announce my support and endorsement for the former, and hopefully, the next President of the United States, Donald Trump."
Trump met with Ghalib briefly before the endorsement, and Ghalib then said Trump "knew a lot about me before the meeting."
"We talked about various topics including the debates, the polls updates, the statistics of votes in Michigan and Wayne County, the Arab American concerns and the Yemeni Americans in particular. We also talked about the situation in Yemen," Ghalib said.
Early voting is underway in Michigan, and a record 1.2 million voters have already voted there.
Democrat presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris leads Trump by .3% in Michigan, according to the RealClearPolitics polling average, but Trump has momentum and could still pull ahead there.
Most pundits feel that the election is too close to call and that either candidate could win.
The Justice Department under President Joe Biden and his wanna-be successor Democrat presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris has "absolutely" been going after their political opponents, Republican vice presidential nominee Sen. J.D. Vance (OH) told NBC's Meet the Press on Sunday.
Host Kristin Welker pointed out that two of Trump's former high-ranking staffers in the U.S. military came out and called him fascist last week, which she apparently considered incriminating.
“Let me ask you about what we heard this week," she said. "Donald Trump’s chief of staff former General John Kelly, said he is a fascist. Mark Milley also called him a fascist. When two four-star generals who worked so closely with Donald Trump called him a fascist why shouldn’t voters believe them, senator?”
But Vance had a response ready for her that explained perfectly well why they might have done so.
Vance said, “I think Mark Milley and John Kelly are disgruntled employees. The very things they accused Donald Trump of people who were in the room at the time some of those comments have made have said explicitly Donald Trump did not say the things he was accused of."
Trump has been the victim of numerous allegations that were later refuted by others who witnessed what actually happened.
Most recently, he was accused by The Atlantic of complaining about paying for a military funeral of a murdered female soldier.
The magazine quoted anonymous sources who told them that Trump said, “It doesn’t cost 60,000 bucks to bury a f***ing Mexican" when he got the bill for the funeral of Vanessa Guillén after offering the family to help paying for it.
Supposedly, he also ordered his chief of staff at the time Mark Meadows not to pay the bill.
Guillén's sister spoke out after the story broke to dispute its allegations.
“I don’t appreciate how you are exploiting my sister’s death for politics – hurtful & disrespectful to the important changes she made for service members,” she wrote. “President Donald Trump did nothing but show respect to my family & Vanessa. In fact, I voted for President Trump today.”
An attorney for the family, Natalie Khawam, and Meadows also disputed the account, with Khawam saying,
After having dealt with hundreds of reporters in my legal career, this is unfortunately the first time I have to go on record and call out Jeffrey Goldberg@the Atlantic: not only did he misrepresent our conversation but he outright LIED in HIS sensational story. More importantly, he used and exploited my clients, and Vanessa Guillen’s murder … for cheap political gain.
As for the accusations of fascism, Vance argued effectively that Trump's previous tenure disproves the entire narrative.
"Donald Trump was president for four years. If he was what John Kelly said he was then why did Donald Trump deliver peace and prosperity? He didn’t arrest his political opponents as Kamala Harris and her Department of the Justice have in fact done," Vance said.
Former President Donald Trump made the bold claim that he could win New York in November and flip a Democrat stronghold.
During a tele-rally Saturday night with House Conference Chair Elise Stefanik (R-NY), Trump made the bold claim that he could be the first Republican candidate to win New York since Ronald Reagan in 1984.
The virtual rally with Stefanik went out to nearly one million Trump supporters to push early voting and hopefully push Republican momentum in New York.
Trump has a growing support base in New York and is holding a massive rally at Madison Square Garden in New York City where thousands are expected to attend.
While New York is a Democrat state run be Democrats, many citizens are fed up and there is a growing movement for Trump that he is kindling.
Trump is leading Vice President Kamala Harris in all the major swing states and his momentum is growing so strong that his strategists are eying vulnerable blue states.
The vaunted "Blue Wall" has cracks in the foundation and Trump believes that New York, his home state, is one of those compromised links.
During his tele-rally with Stefanik, Trump stated, "We want to get everybody out [to vote] because we think we could actually win New York. We’re leading, as you know, in all the swing states, and I think we’re leading potentially very big. We set a record in early voting, and a lot of them were voters that don’t vote that much, which is pretty amazing."
Trump went on to discuss the significant policies that he could make for New York as President which will reverse a serious decline that has hit the Empire State.
Harris's support in New York has declined significantly compared to President Joe Biden's support in 2020. Biden won New York 76-23 in 2020 but Harris is down to 66% support.
While it is a long shot, it's not entirely out of the question that Trump could break a decades-long trend and win a key Democrat state.
Trump has an opportunity to do many historic things in this election. The momentum is firmly in his favor and if current polling is accurate, Trump is set to have a "Reaganesque" win in November.
Harris represents the stagnation and failure of the Biden presidency that has caused so much suffering and hardship for Americans.
Trump is promising a return to his first term which many Americans fondly remember as some of the best years of this century.
While the election is still likely to be deadly close, there is a lot of optimism around the Trump campaign which is in stark contrast to the doom and gloom plaguing the Harris campaign.
Actor and filmmaker Mel Gibson has revealed that he's backing former President Trump to win back America's White House in 2024. A recent video shows Mel Gibson being asked about the presidential race while he was at the airport in Los Angeles.
"I don't think it's gonna surprise anyone who I vote for," Mel Gibson said.
Gibson then joked that Donald Trump would be a "pretty good guess." Mel was then asked what "the world would be like" if Donald Trump was able to get into office for a second term.
The "Lethal Weapon" star almost seemed more concerned about the dangers of Kamala Harris:
"I know what it'll be like if we let her in," Gibson said. "That ain't good. A miserable track record, an appalling track record, no policies to speak of, and she's got the IQ of a fence post."
If you've been paying attention, you're probably not too surprised that Mel Gibson is going with Donald Trump. The "Hacksaw Ridge" director was spotted making conversation with Donald Trump at a Dana White-owned UFC event in 2023.
Mel Gibson may be one of the biggest names, but he's far from the only star in America who's endorsed Trump recently. The list is growing longer as more and more celebrities realize what's at stake for the future of America.
Ever since RFK Jr. dropped from the race, the "Shazam!" star has been open about who he wants to vote for. He even served as a moderator for a recent Trump Campaign event.
"In a perfect world, in whatever that would look like, perhaps I would have voted for Bobby," Levi told the audience. "But we don’t live in a perfect world. In fact, we live in a very broken one. We live in a country that has been hijacked by a lot of people who want to take this place way off the cliff, and we’re here to stop that."
"We are going to take back this country. We are going to make it great again, we’re going to make it healthy again. And so I stand with Bobby and I stand with everyone else who is standing with President Trump. Of the two choices that we have, and we only have two, President Trump is the man that can get us there," Levi added.
Despite the famous actor previously discussing some reservations he had about Donald Trump, Dennis Quaid is leaving no doubt about who he's voting for in 2024.
"As president, the only thing I liked about Trump was everything he did," Quaid said. "It just makes sense. I was ready not to vote for Trump until what I saw as — more than politics — I see a weaponization of our justice system and a challenge to our constitution."
Kid Rock is another of Donald Trump's most famous supporters. When Trump experienced his assassination attempt, Kid Rock was one of the people vocal about his support for the former president.
Do you think that these celebrity endorsements like Mel Gibson will help tip the scales in Trump's favor? For the sake of America, let's hope so.
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) filed a complaint on Thursday with the Federal Election Commission, saying that his Democrat opponent Rep. Colin Allred (D-TX) illegally coordinated with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) to produce campaign ads against him that exceeded the limits allowed under federal election law.
Cruz claimed that four particular campaign ads constituted potentially millions of dollars in excessive in-kind contributions from DSCC to Allred.
“Colin Allred’s campaign is illegally coordinating with Chuck Schumer and the DSCC. We are calling on the FEC to immediately investigate and put a stop to this flagrant violation of federal law,” a spokesman for Cruz told the Daily Caller.
Allred is actually giving Cruz a run for his money in a very tight race where this sort of illegal activity could actually have an impact on the outcome.
According to Cruz, Allred and the DSCC are not following rules for "hybrid ads," which are supposed to spend half of their time plugging for or attacking "generically referenced" candidates. One of the ads in question talks about abortion but not generic candidates.
The other three ads attack Cruz and other Republicans in Texas but are still not generic enough, Cruz said.
It's going to be a hard one to win since the FEC has failed to penalize similar ads previously, including some from Republicans.
The panel deadlocked on a case brought by Democrats, which focused on ads about "extremists" and former President Donald Trump.
Because of the deadlock, the ads were allowed to continue and there was no consequence for Republicans.
This seems to indicate that the same would happen to Cruz.
“The DSCC is running the same kind of advertisements that the NRSC, the Republican National Committee and Republican members of the FEC all argued are legal - and that are being run by Republican Senate campaigns across the country. Ted Cruz is doing whatever he can to try and distract Texans from his support for a ban on all abortions and his self-serving politics,” Amanda Sherman Baity, a spokesperson for the DSCC, said in a statement.
In this case, it would be surprising if Cruz got a favorable ruling.
Party groups like to use hybrid ads because they can get them for lower rates through a candidate than through the group alone.
Both Democrats and Republicans in the Texas Senate race have spent roughly the allowed $2.8 million on the hybrid ads.
A former congressman who opposed Trump and Missouri's Democratic Senate nominee, Lucas Kunce, held a campaign rally on Tuesday.
During the event, they opened fire on private property, something that one would assume wouldn't be difficult for a competent adult, but ended up injuring a reporter.
Ryan Gamboa, a reporter, was hurt when something that seemed like a bullet fragment or a deflected round struck his arm. The perpetrators were firing a high-powered rifle at steel targets a few yards away.
On Wednesday, several days following his campaign event, Kunce informed the local sheriff about the incident, according to his announcement.
The Daily Wire was looking into whether the Democrat may have broken the law by not reporting the gunshot incident, so he apparently called the Clinton County Sheriff thereafter.
The event is still "under investigation," according to the sheriff's department, so they cannot divulge any other details at this time.
The internet lit up with stories surrounding the shooting that took place in a campaign where the Democrat is attempting to take over from a Second Amendment-loving Republican who is overall well-liked.
Remember: Guns don’t shoot people. Lucas Kunce shoots people
— Josh Hawley (@HawleyMO) October 24, 2024
Federalist CEO Sean Davis, also weighed in on the disastrous campaign event, saying, "I've heard of campaigns going out with a bang, [but] this is ridiculous."
Hawley spoke out in numerous tweets following the shooting, seeming to take full advantage of his opponent's blunder, offering questions, criticism, and even protection.
"Lucas Kunce sets up a fake range to get a fake photo-op … and shoots a guy. It’s nuts. But it’s Kunce," Hawley said in one tweet.
He questioned his opponent's legal status in another, saying "Serious question. Missouri law requires any person who causes injury with a firearm to file a report with law enforcement immediately. Did Lucas Kunce do that? Failure to do so is a crime."
Hawley marveled at the response from the political hopeful, saying "Kunce shoots a guy and says 'it’s a great day at the range,'" and in yet another tweet on the event offered a possible solution for reporters: "I will provide safety gear for all reporters covering Lucas Kunce. Free of charge. Enjoy!"
During a recent appearance Tuesday on MSNBC’s “The Beat,” Geraldo Rivera put his Trump Derangement Syndrom on full display, pushing back against support for the former president.
Rivera, who seemed upset at the idea of a second term for former President Donald Trump said, “Woe is us if we are so self-interested, so selfish” that we elected former President Donald Trump, as Breitbart News reported.
Rivera said, “He has in many ways coopted. It’s become in terms of ruthless pragmatism …
"That’s all I can attribute it to. There is the loyalty toward Trump but also to the party and also to the power that comes with being the party in power.
The television personality said in the Tuesday interview that he wishes he “had bailed on the Trump train a lot sooner.”
“In retrospect, I wish I had bailed on the Trump train a lot sooner before he threatened the Constitution of the United States with its utter destruction."
Rivera, who was once known to support Trump, announced earlier this month that he will be voting for Vice President Harris instead of Trump in the 2024 election, describing Trump as "a sore loser who cannot be trusted to honor the Constitution" in a post on social media platform X.
“That is why I am voting for Kamala Harris to be our 47th President,” Rivera said in the post.
Sore Loser
With three weeks to go until Election Day, Donald J. Trump stands a reasonable chance of becoming the 47th President of the United States. Despite assassination attempts, impeachments, special counsels, felony convictions and hundreds of millions in civil penalties,…— Geraldo Rivera (@GeraldoRivera) October 14, 2024
While Rivera had almost exclusively negative thoughts about the former president, he did admit that he understands the "practical aspect" of supporting Trump
"I understand that there is that practical aspect at work. But what I urge people to recognize is that this is a man who would do or say anything. It’s very, very dangerous.”
He continued, “It is absolutely imperative that people whose names sound like mine understand that this guy says that we are poisoning the blood of the country.
The course of the interview left the listener with the impression that the longtime commentator with a roughly $20 million net worth hoped the American middle class would look beyond the economy, their pocketbooks, and the border crisis to see the vulgarity of what he considered a person of disinterest.
"He says that it is in our genes that we commit murder. This is a guy who promises mass deportation of our friends and relatives should he regain the White House.”
Rivera added that he believes there is a "broader phenomenon at work here," going on to explain that "I think it really is a case of self-interest. Yes, he, you know, defied the Constitution, but you know what, his tax policies would benefit me.
He concluded, “You know, there is a sense of other that he has cultivated. And you know, I think that we always say it’s the most important election of your lifetime, in this case, I really believe it.
"I believe that should Donald Trump regain the White House, anything goes. And woe is us if we are so self-interested, so selfish that we would not only hold our nose but suspend our principles to support him again.”
Democrat strategist James Carville said Monday that he and MSNBC "The Beat" host Ari Melber will be arrested if Republican nominee former President Donald Trump is elected in November.
Carville said,
Trump goes out, and he says I’m going to use the military to arrest my political enemies, and then Mike Johnson’s and Lindsey Graham, and the Wall Street Journal editorial pages say oh no, that’s not what he meant and then he comes back and says yeah, that’s exactly what I meant. You know what’ll happen? You pointed it out; if he wins, he will say, I told people I was going to do this. I have the legitimacy of an election behind me, and he will have a point.
He is referring to comments by Trump that the U.S. has an "enemy within" that might become violent on Election Day, and that any problems could be easily solved with law enforcement or military involvement.
These comments may have been misconstrued to mean something different than he intended, however.
When asked if he would use those systems against his political opponents, he did not say he would, but said that's what his political opponents are doing to him.
He then affirmed that he thought Reps. Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff (both D-CA) were part of the enemy within, but did not specifically say he could take any action against them.
But of course, Carville and Melber will conveniently ignore those nuances and pretend he's saying he plans to arrest his political opponents and jail them for opposing him.
Carville went on,
People say what’s at stake in this election, okay, the Constitution is at stake, the whole idea of I don’t know if you call a constitutional republic, whatever highbrow people call it, I get it, we live under a set of laws is literally at risk, and he is telling you that. People want to know about weakness among males of color. They are going to arrest all of you. You don’t think you have a stake in this election. Guess what? You are not going to do very well. I’m not going to do well. You are not going to do well.
"That will happen. It’s not far-fetched," he concluded.
This rhetoric by Carville is "threat to democracy" on steroids. Now Trump is not only a threat to democracy, but a threat to the personal liberty of his opponents, according to Democrats.
Never mind that he had four years to go after his former opponent Hillary Clinton, but didn't do so.
He even talked about it, formulated the "lock her up" slogan, but when it came down to it, he didn't.
What is Trump actually suggesting? That if people get violent on Election Day, they should be arrested and subdued by police and the military (if needed). Who doesn't agree with that?
But if Carville and his ilk can convince enough voters Trump is going to arrest them for being Democrats, they might get a few votes out of it. And that's really all the motivation they need.
