A group of over 50 House Republicans on Friday introduced a resolution condemning the murder of Israeli embassy staffers Sarah Milgrim and Yaron Lischinsky.
“This wasn’t just a tragedy, it was a targeted act of antisemitic terrorism carried out by a radical leftist,” Rep. Addison McDowell, who introduced the resolution, told The Daily Wire.
“Yaron and Sarah were murdered for being Jewish and for believing in peace. When a movement sympathizes with terrorists, we shouldn’t be surprised when that same movement produces actual terrorists.”
Elias Rodriguez, 30, of Chicago, was detained by police on suspicion of murdering Lischinsky, 30, and Milgrim, 26, on Wednesday night in Washington, D.C. The couple was shot at close range, and Milgrim was shot multiple times while crawling away, according to court documents. According to police, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/charges-revealed-in-d-c-terror-attack-shooter-did-it-for-palestine-fbi-says?author=Tim+Pearce&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=1&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Charges+Revealed+In+D.C.+Terror+Attack%3B+Shooter+%E2%80%98Did+It+For+Palestine%2C%E2%80%99+FBI+Says" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the terrorist told </a>officers he “did it for Palestine.”
No Democrats signed on to the resolution.
Cosponsors of the bill include heavy hitters like Reps. Lisa McClain (R-MI), Juan Ciscomani (R-AZ), Mariannette Miller-Meeks (R-IA), and Max Miller (R-OH), who is Jewish.
McDowell said he introduced the resolution to condemn growing antisemitism and to honor the lives of the slain couple.

“I want Congress to be on the record that it’s not just that antisemitism is evil, but also that the killer was part of an evil movement that seems to be growing in our country,” he said. “We can’t paper over that. We need to address it head on.”
The resolution, titled “Condemning Antisemitism and Remembering Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim,” identifies antisemitism as a “centuries-old form of hatred and discrimination that has led to immeasurable suffering, persecution, and loss of life, culminating most horrifically in the Holocaust, and continues to manifest in violence, vandalism, and policies targeting Jewish communities around the world.”
It cites the rise of antisemitic incidents in the United States, including attacks on synagogues, Jewish schools, museums, cultural centers, and individuals perceived as Jewish.

Milgrim and Lischinsky&#8217;s bodies are expected to arrive in Israel for burial on Friday. The families have requested privacy and that no media be present.
Sarah Milgrim&#8217;s father, who is an American Jew, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/father-of-murdered-israeli-embassy-staffer-says-daughter-was-dedicated-to-peace-building?author=Kassy+Akiva&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=0&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Father+Of+Murdered+Israeli+Embassy+Staffer+Says+Daughter+Was+Dedicated+To+Peace-Building" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said his daughter</a> was dedicated to peace-building.
Robert Milgrim, 73, told the New York Post that his daughter was attending an event about getting more humanitarian aid to Gazans.

Milgrim, who grew up in the Kansas City suburbs, was a full-time employee at the embassy’s Department of Public Diplomacy. She received her Master of Arts at American University and was also a graduate of the University for Peace.
The “About” section on her LinkedIn profile says her “passion lies at the intersection of peacebuilding, religious engagement, and environmental work.”
Robert said his daughter spent multiple summers in Israel working with “peace-building groups” to mend the divide between Israelis and Arabs. He added that his daughter was supposed to travel to Israel on Sunday to meet Lischinsky&#8217;s family.

“She was happier now than she ever was in her life,” Robert said. “She was truly in love with Yaron and vice versa.”
At a Wednesday night press conference, Israeli Ambassador to the United States Yechiel Leiter said Lischinsky and Milgrim were about to get engaged.

“The couple that was gunned down tonight in the name of free Palestine is a couple that was about to be engaged,” he said. “The young man purchased a ring this week with the intention of proposing to his girlfriend next week in Jerusalem. They were a beautiful couple who came to enjoy an evening in Washington’s cultural center.”
Lischinsky, 30, was a German-Israeli dual citizen and a devout evangelical Christian who immigrated to Israel at the age of 16 and served in the Israel Defense Forces. He studied at Hebrew University in Jerusalem and was fluent in German, Hebrew, English, and Japanese.
He moved to work as a political analyst at the Israeli embassy in 2022.

House Republicans Condemn ‘Evil’ Murder Of Israeli Embassy Staffers: ‘Antisemitic Terrorism’

On Monday, the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) announced it would cover travel costs for House Democrats to visit Kilmar Abrego Garcia in El Salvador amid his wrongful deportation lawsuit — on one condition.
&#8220;The NRCC is offering to pick up the tab for any House Democrat eager to hang out with their new poster child in El Salvador, a confirmed illegal immigrant, MS-13 gang member, and alleged domestic abuser,&#8221; the statement said. &#8220;We just have one condition: Livestream the whole thing. Snap plenty of selfies with your MS-13 buddies — the same violent criminals you’re trying to reimport into American neighborhoods to rape, kill, and terrorize law-abiding citizens.&#8221;
NRCC&#8217;s statement linked to a <a href="https://x.com/KatiePavlich/status/1912616487744950580" target="_blank" rel="noopener">post</a> on X about Abrego Garcia, whom the Trump administration <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/facilitate-not-effectuate-wh-responds-to-scotus-ruling-on-mistakenly-deported-salvadoran" target="_blank" rel="noopener">accuses</a> of being a member of MS-13. Abrego Garcia&#8217;s attorneys <a href="https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/69777799/1/abrego-garcia-v-noem/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">deny</a> the claim, but the government has released <a href="https://www.justice.gov/ag/media/1396906/dl?inline" target="_blank" rel="noopener">documents</a> to substantiate the affiliation. A 2021 restraining order <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/deported-illegal-immigrant-who-dems-have-championed-accused-of-beating-wife-court-docs?topStoryPosition=undefined&amp;author=Amanda+Prestigiacomo&amp;category=News+and+Commentary&amp;elementPosition=1&amp;row=1&amp;rowHeadline=Top+Stories&amp;rowType=Top+Stories&amp;title=Deported+Illegal+Immigrant+Who+Dems+Have+Championed+Accused+Of+Beating+Wife%3A++Court+Docs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">shows</a> Abrego Garcia was accused of beating his wife, Jennifer Vasquez Sura, who now says they worked through the incident.
“If out of touch House Democrats are so desperate to cozy up to violent gang members, the least they can do is let Americans watch the show. We’ll pay for the plane tickets, they just can’t forget to smile for the camera while they sell out their constituents,&#8221; said NRCC spokesman Mike Marinella.
The NRCC released its statement on the same day that four House Democrats <a href="https://x.com/AnthonyAdragna/status/1914298706561552550" target="_blank" rel="noopener">arrived</a> in El Salvador to &#8220;pressure&#8221; the Trump administration to abide by a Supreme Court order to &#8220;facilitate&#8221; Abrego Garcia&#8217;s return to the United States. C-SPAN&#8217;s Craig Caplan <a href="https://x.com/CraigCaplan/status/1914337664402079985" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> the Democrats&#8217; offices said their trip &#8220;is not being financed by taxpayer dollars&#8221; after House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY) <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/gop-leaders-deny-taxpayer-money-for-dems-to-make-el-salvador-prison-trip" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rejected</a> a <a href="https://robertgarcia.house.gov/media/press-releases/congressman-robert-garcia-and-congressman-maxwell-frost-demand-oversight-codel" target="_blank" rel="noopener">request</a> for a Congressional Member Delegation (CODEL) to El Salvador.
&#8220;We have arrived in El Salvador. [President Donald] Trump is illegally arresting, jailing, &amp; deporting people with no due process. We must hold the Administration accountable for these illegal acts and demand Kilmar’s release. Today it’s him, tomorrow it could be anyone else,&#8221; Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-FL) <a href="https://x.com/MaxwellFrostFL/status/1914321852920479774" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> on X.
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) took a swipe at Frost and his Democrat colleagues who made the journey to El Salvador.
&#8220;Today, House Democrats travel to El Salvador as part of their obsession to bring a violent illegal alien and member of MS-13 BACK INTO the United States,&#8221; Johnson <a href="https://x.com/SpeakerJohnson/status/1914390276266975378" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> on X. &#8220;Could the contrast be more clear? House Republicans remain committed to doing everything we can to protect American families and keep dangerous gang members OUT of our country.&#8221;
Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) travelled to El Salvador last week to check on Abrego Garcia, whom he claims is a Maryland &#8220;constituent.&#8221; A <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/sipping-margaritas-dem-senator-finally-meets-deported-illegal-immigrant-in-el-salvador" target="_blank" rel="noopener">meeting</a> took place on Thursday evening.

Leftist Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner could be in trouble after he suggested last month that President Donald Trump and his supporters should be “punched in the face as hard as possible.&#8221; 
The Republican Party of Pennsylvania told The Daily Wire on Monday that it asked the Justice Department to investigate Krasner over his March suggestion that Trump and his supporters were “fascists” who needed to be “punched.” Krasner, a George Soros-backed district attorney who implements lax-on-crime policies, is running for a third term as Philadelphia’s top prosecutor. 
“Violence and threats are never acceptable, but they are particularly egregious when used as a political tool targeting the President of the United States of America and his supporters,” Pennsylvania GOP Chair Greg Rothman wrote to the Justice Department, according to a letter first shared with The Daily Wire. “The safety of President Trump, Republicans, and the integrity of our American republic rely on threats like District Attorney Krasner’s being investigated and, if appropriate, punished to the fullest extent of the law.”
The letter to Eastern District of Pennsylvania U.S. Attorney David Metcalf said that Krasner should be investigated for making a “potential criminal threat” against Trump during a March 25 <a href="https://www.cityandstatepa.com/personality/2025/03/q-philadelphia-district-attorney-larry-krasner/404028/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">interview</a> with City &amp; State Pennsylvania.
During that interview, Krasner compared Trump and his supporters to the Nazis. 
“Trump likes crime. Fascists like crime. Right-wing Republican MAGA people like crime and they like it because it gins up a crisis that doesn’t have to be, which allows them to scapegoat different groups of marginalized people so they can eliminate our rights. This is a very old playbook,” Krasner said, before adding that he knew a “hell of a lot” about World War II. 
“This is all stuff close to me, and I know exactly where we need to be with this one: loud, proud, standing up and in their faces,” he said. “These are fundamentally fascists, and it will not do us any good to try to appease them. They are bullies who need to be punched in the face as hard as possible, and that is the only way that all the people around us who are so frightened will understand they can stand up, too.”
Rothman wrote that those comments should be seen in the broader calls for violence against the Trump administration and Elon Musk and his efforts with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). 
“Violent threats against President Trump, Republicans, Mr. Musk, DOGE staffers, and others have been rampant across the country recently. The clear intent of those doing so is to aid those intending to commit acts of violence,” Rothman wrote. 
The letter cited promises from interim U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Ed Martin to investigate threats made toward Musk and members of DOGE, and urges Metcalf to take similar action. 
The last few months have seen a string of attacks targeting Tesla, including firebombings and acts of vandalism. The Justice Department <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/domestic-terrorism-fbi-arrests-man-for-firebombing-new-mexico-tesla-showroom-gop-headquarters?author=Leif+Le+Mahieu&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=1&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=‘Domestic+Terrorism’%3A+FBI+Arrests+Man+For+Firebombing+New+Mexico+Tesla+Showroom%2C+GOP+Headquarters" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced yesterday</a> that they had arrested a 40-year-old man for firebombing a Tesla showroom in New Mexico and the state’s Republican Party headquarters. 
“Political violence is never the answer — not in our communities, not in our campaigns, and certainly not from those sworn to uphold the law,” the Pennsylvania GOP told The Daily Wire. “The words of District Attorney Larry Krasner weren’t just reckless, they were dangerous. When the top prosecutor in Philadelphia suggests that the President of the United States and his supporters should be ‘punched in the face,’ it’s not just political rhetoric, it’s a threat.”
While Krasner easily won his last two general elections in the deep blue city, he currently faces a primary challenge from Patrick Dugan, a former judge who is running on a law and order platform.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/house-republicans" target="_blank" rel="noopener">House Republicans</a> are not done winning after their overall 2024 victory that left the Democrats in &#8220;disarray,&#8221; Speaker <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/mike-johnson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mike Johnson</a> (R-LA) declared on Monday.
Johnson delivered a bullish preview for his party in the years to come at the House GOP issues retreat at President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a>&#8216;s Doral resort in Florida.
He was joined by National Republican Congressional Committee Chairman Richard Hudson (R-NC), GOP Conference Chairwoman Lisa McClain (R-MI), and Rep. Mario Díaz-Balart (R-FL).

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
&#8220;The Democratic Party is in disarray. They have no obvious leader. They have no obvious vision or agenda,&#8221; Johnson said.
&#8220;Their platform has to be rewritten whole cloth, and they don’t exactly know how they are going to wander in this wilderness for the next couple of years,&#8221; he added.
Democrats lost control of the Senate and the White House in last year&#8217;s election while they failed to crack the Republican majority in the House.
Johnson predicted that the amount of restructuring the Democrats need to do will blow past the 2026 midterms and into the 2028 presidential election.
&#8220;It’s not just gonna be a couple of years, though; it’s gonna be four years at least and then more because we are going to win — grow the House majority in 2026,&#8221; he said.
Republicans managed to retain control of the House in the 2024 election and currently have a 218-215 majority, giving leadership a slim margin in divisive votes.
There are two vacancies: one left by former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) and another by former Rep. Michael Waltz (R-FL), who is now Trump&#8217;s national security adviser.
Special congressional primaries in their districts are being <a href="https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/what-to-expect-in-floridas-special-congressional-primaries" target="_blank" rel="noopener">held</a> in Florida on Tuesday. The special general election has been scheduled for April 1.
Johnson acknowledged that, &#8220;Historically when the president takes the Oval Office, then his party then loses on average a number of seats in the House in that first midterm.&#8221;
Indeed, after Trump won the 2016 presidential election, the Republicans then lost command of the House in the 2018 midterms as Democrats <a href="https://www.axios.com/2018/11/07/full-list-2018-midterm-election-seats-flipped" target="_blank" rel="noopener">flipped 41 seats</a>.
However, Johnson argued, &#8220;That won&#8217;t happen this time around because there has been a sea change. And we&#8217;re going to deliver on this agenda and that begins now.&#8221;

President-elect <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a> promised on Friday that the Republican Party will &#8220;use its best efforts&#8221; to end Daylight Saving Time as most Americans favor putting a stop to changing the clocks twice a year.
Daylight Saving Time, the time nearly every state recognizes for eight months out of the year, has been in effect nationwide since 1966 when the Uniform Time Act was passed. Today, only two states — Arizona and Hawaii — don&#8217;t recognize DST. Legislation eliminating DST passed by Congress and signed into law by the president would likely mandate that every state go back to recognizing Standard Time throughout the entire year.
&#8220;The Republican Party will use its best efforts to eliminate Daylight Saving Time, which has a small but strong constituency, but shouldn’t! Daylight Saving Time is inconvenient, and very costly to our Nation,&#8221; Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.
The incoming Trump administration first signaled that ending DST was on the table earlier this month when the idea was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/doge-considers-ending-daylight-saving-time" target="_blank" rel="noopener">floated</a> by Trump&#8217;s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), a new agency led by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy.
“Looks like the people want to abolish the annoying time changes!” Musk posted on X last month. Ramaswamy responded to Musk&#8217;s post, writing, “It’s inefficient &amp; easy to change.”
<a href="https://get.dailywire.com/gift-guide/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE</a>
While a majority of Americans are <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/daylight-saving-time-polling-shows-americans-utterly-divided-2023-3" target="_blank" rel="noopener">in favor of ending</a> the twice-per-year time change, there is disagreement on whether the country should recognize DST or Standard Time.
In 2022, the Senate unanimously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/u-s-senate-approves-bill-to-make-daylight-savings-time-permanent" target="_blank" rel="noopener">passed</a> a measure to make DST permanent. Trump said in 2019 that making DST permanent was &#8220;O.K.&#8221; with him. That move, however, wasn&#8217;t popular with many people who want to keep the clocks in Standard Time, which is the time usually recognized from November until March. Many doctors and scientists say that Standard Time is <a href="https://www.npr.org/2024/03/08/1235811935/daylight-saving-time-change-2024" target="_blank" rel="noopener">better</a> for people&#8217;s health because it is <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/nexstar_media_wire/4939267-why-experts-say-keeping-standard-time-is-undeniably-better-for-us/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">more aligned</a> with the body&#8217;s internal clock and sleep cycle.
The Sunshine Protection Act, Sen. Marco Rubio&#8217;s bill to keep DST permanent that was passed by the Senate in 2022, was never taken up by the House. Rubio reintroduced the bill in 2023, but it remains stuck in committee.

Incoming GOP Freshman Tom Barrett celebrated the bipartisanship from members of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/congress" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Congress</a> after he was able to take over the same office his great grandfather occupied nearly a century ago.
Earlier this week, the Republican &#8212; who flipped Michigan&#8217;s 7th Congressional District seat left open from Democrat Elissa Slotkin &#8212; sent out a letter to his new colleagues ahead of the freshmen lottery held in Congress that determines a new Representative&#8217;s office space, <a href="https://thehill.com/blogs/in-the-know/5002610-incoming-house-republican-tom-barrett-michigan/">The Hill</a> reported.
“I’ve shared with several of you that my great-grandfather, Louis Rabaut from Michigan, served here in Congress and was first elected 90 years ago in 1934,” the letter from Barrett, <a href="https://x.com/kv_swartz/status/1859585129259118764">posted on</a> social media, read.
“He died in office in 1961, long before I was born, so I never had the opportunity to meet him or ask him about his time in Congress, but his legacy is something my whole family is very proud of,” it added, noting that his family member occupied three different spaces in the Longworth House Office building.

“If one or more of them become available I would deeply appreciate it if you could afford me the opportunity to select one of them,” Barrett&#8217;s letter continued. “Perhaps 90 years from now one of your descendants will be asking their colleagues to hold your office available for them to occupy.”
A while later, Barrett confirmed he had indeed gotten one of the spaces and was very appreciative to his colleagues.

The Republican Party is &#8220;now more diverse than it&#8217;s ever been in modern times,&#8221; NBC News National Political Correspondent Steve Kornacki explained on Sunday after President-elect <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a> won re-election last week.
Kornacki <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/meet-the-press/meet-press-november-10-2024-n1311007" target="_blank" rel="noopener">spoke</a> with &#8220;Meet The Press&#8221; moderator Kristen Welker about how data show minority groups have shifted toward the GOP over the past eight years while Democrats have attracted more white and college-educated voters.
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Steve Kornacki: Republican Party is now &#039;more diverse&#039; than it&#039;s been in modern times" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/LjeQg4bb5HM?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Trump &#8220;did it by transforming the Republican Party. It is now more diverse than it&#8217;s ever been in modern times, and certainly much more than when Donald Trump first came on the scene eight years ago,&#8221; Kornacki said.
Using a screen behind him, which displayed election statistics, Kornacki went over how the results from &#8220;pre-Trump&#8221; in 2012 compared to now showed more voters under the age of 30, those with an income of less than $50,000, and people with no college degree gravitate to the GOP.
Kornacki discussed race and ethnicity, highlighting the growing &#8220;diversity&#8221; in the Republican Party.
&#8220;Again, pre-Trump versus now,&#8221; he said. &#8220;The black vote still overwhelmingly Democratic, but that&#8217;s a 15-point shift. It used to be 87 points for the Democrats, down to 72. How about this? You&#8217;ve heard a lot about it this week. This is what the numbers look like. Hispanic voters were 44 points Democratic before Donald Trump. Now, basically a toss-up constituency. And Asian Americans, a 32-point shift there as well. That&#8217;s what&#8217;s happened to the Republican Party since Donald Trump became its standard bearer eight years ago. This has been the movement.&#8221;
Kornacki explained how &#8220;the story is the opposite&#8221; for the Democratic Party, going over results showing that more white voters — though not a majority — are turning blue, as are college-educated voters and people earning more than $100,000. He also got into how Trump &#8220;swept&#8221; the swing states, highlighting Wisconsin as an example, and &#8220;pulled off&#8221; becoming the first Republican to win the popular vote in 20 years, pointing to the &#8220;giant strides&#8221; he makes in blue states like California.
Welker mentioned that the results are in and &#8220;they&#8217;re not going to change,&#8221; but she also noted that counting is still happening in some places.
&#8220;Yeah. I mean, if you remember from 2020, it took about a month till we got all the national popular vote,&#8221; Kornacki said. &#8220;And let me just show you, nationally here, one thing we&#8217;re waiting on, big — we know California is a Harris state. But as I said, still some votes to come: 75% is in. That means there are millions more votes just from California. And there are other states like this. A lot of it has to do with vote by mail, those ballots taking a long time for some of these states. So when you look at where the current popular vote stands, you know, you&#8217;ve got there — probably another 10 million or so, when all is said and done, are going to be added to this. This has been the story for a while in states like California. They take a very long time.&#8221;

2024 Election

Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Whatley announced a victory for election integrity in Georgia after the state’s Supreme Court ruled that absentee ballots received after election day will not be counted.
“HUGE election integrity victory in Georgia,” Whatley wrote in a post on Monday on <a href="https://x.com/ChairmanWhatley/status/1853534896452444306">X</a> after the RNC and Georgia Republican party appealed a decision on Friday by a lower court after the ACLU filed a lawsuit in the swing state claiming that some 3,000 voters in Cobb county didn’t get their mail-in ballots on time, <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/behind-scenes-battles-legal-challenges-could-impact-vote-before-election-day-begins">Fox News</a> reported.
“Democrat-run Cobb County wanted to accept 3,000 absentee ballots AFTER the Election Day deadline,&#8221; he added. &#8220;We took this case to the Georgia Supreme Court. We just got word that we WON the case. Election Day is Election Day — not the week after. We will keep fighting, keep winning, and keep sharing updates.&#8221;
The state Supreme Court took up the Emergency motion and said in its ruling that only those “absentee ballots received by the statutory deadline of 7:00 p.m. on Election Day, November 5, 2024” can be counted.

The GOP Chair’s post comes following Cobb County Judge Robert Flournoy&#8217;s <a href="https://www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/pro-voting-groups-sue-georgia-county-to-extend-ballot-receipt-deadline-for-undelivered-ballots/">decision</a> in the ACLU&#8217;s favor that ordered that ballots must be sent overnight to the affected voters. He also ruled that ballots-if postmarked by Election Day-could be counted as late as Nov. 8 at 5 p.m.
“We commend the court for prioritizing the voices of over 3,000 Cobb County voters who deserve to have their ballots counted,” Theresa J. Lee, senior staff attorney at the ACLU’s Voting Rights Project said, <a href="https://www.aclu.org/press-releases/judge-orders-cobb-county-officials-to-express-mail-over-3000-delayed-absentee-ballots">at the time</a>. “This decision helps voters who followed the proper procedures to now have a chance to participate in this election, despite the county’s unfortunate administrative errors.”
A <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/nevada-supreme-court-rules-on-counting-ballots-received-after-election-day-without-postmarks">federal appeals court</a> in Mississippi recently ruled in the GOP’s favor in another suit that argued mail-in ballots received after Election Day were illegal, The Hill <a href="https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/4954413-federal-appeals-court-rules-mississippi-mail-ballots/">reported</a>. However, it <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/election-presidential-mississippi-republican-national-committee-appeal-late-mail-ballots-1976785" target="_blank" rel="noopener">appears</a> that the current law, which allows for mail-in ballots to be received for up to five days after Election Day, will remain in effect. 
Circuit Judge Andrew Oldham wrote for the unanimous three-judge panel that, “Federal law requires voters to take timely steps to vote by Election Day. And federal law does not permit the State of Mississippi to extend the period for voting by one day, five days, or 100 days. The State’s contrary law is preempted.”
“Congress statutorily designated a singular ‘day for the election’ of members of Congress and the appointment of presidential electors,” the panel added. “Text, precedent and historical practice confirm this ‘day for the election’ is the day by which ballots must be both cast by voters and received by state officials.” 
RNC Chairman Michael Whatley released a statement about the Mississippi ruling, calling it a “major win for election integrity, upholding the law and commonsense ballot safeguards.”
The appeals court ruling now sends the decision back to the lower court to decide whether the statute will be blocked immediately or whether it’s too close to Election Day 2024 to make the changes, The Hill noted.

Vice President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/kamala-harris" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kamala Harris</a> was unable to answer during an interview this week where she would get the money for her big government programs if Republicans win control of the Senate.
Harris was confronted over the matter during a softball interview Wednesday evening on MSNBC with Stephanie Ruhle when asked what she would do if she could not pay for her plans by increasing the corporate tax rate, which would also hurt the economy.
&#8220;Well-, but we&#8217;re going to have to raise corporate taxes, and we&#8217;re going to have to raise, we&#8217;re going to have to make sure that the biggest corporations and billionaires pay their fair share. That&#8217;s just it,&#8221; Harris responded. &#8220;It&#8217;s about paying their fair share. I am not mad at anyone for achieving success, but everyone should pay their fair share.&#8221;
Harris claimed that teachers and firefighters pay more in taxes than the top earners in the U.S. even though the top 1% <a href="https://taxfoundation.org/data/all/federal/latest-federal-income-tax-data-2024/#:~:text=High%2DIncome%20Taxpayers%20Paid%20the%20Majority%20of%20Federal%20Income%20Taxes,of%20all%20federal%20income%20taxes." target="_blank" rel="noopener">pays</a> 46% of the taxes in the U.S., a larger share than the bottom 90% combined.
&#8220;But how do you find that line to make sure corporations are paying their fair share, but they&#8217;re not leaving our country?&#8221; Ruhle asked.
&#8220;Well, listen, I work with a lot of CEOs. I have spent a lot of time with CEOs, and I&#8217;m going to tell you that the business leaders who are actually part of the engine of America&#8217;s economy agree that people should pay their fair share,&#8221; Harris claimed. &#8220;They also agree that when we look at a plan such as mine, that is about investing in the middle class, investing in new industries, investing in bringing down costs, invest in entrepreneurs like small businesses, that the overall economy is stronger and everyone benefits.&#8221;

Harris Casts Herself As Pro-Labor ‘Capitalist’ In Economic Pitch

Kamala Harris Stumped When Asked How She’ll Pay For Her Agenda If GOP Controls Senate

Media

MSNBC

In a victory for the GOP, a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/pennsylvania" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pennsylvania</a> judge has upheld a decision from the Butler County Board of Elections that bars voters “curing” their defective mail-in ballots that lack inner secrecy envelopes, aka “naked ballots.”
Pennsylvania requires votes by mail to have ballots inside an inner secrecy envelope. “Prior to Election Day, the plaintiffs submitted mail-in ballots without an inner secrecy envelope and the board of elections rejected them. In an effort to cure their ballots, both voters submitted provisional ballots on Election Day. However, the board decided not to count the voters’ provisional ballots,” Democracy Docket <a href="https://www.democracydocket.com/cases/pennsylvania-butler-county-naked-ballot-curing-challenge/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">explained</a>.
“The actions of the Board in adopting a narrow cure policy that applies in such a way as to uphold voting deadlines and ensure secrecy in voting is maintained, but that allows electors the greatest possible chance of having their vote counted, does not violate either the Election Code or the Free and Equal clause of the Pennsylvania Constitution,” Judge S. Michael Yeager <a href="https://www.democracydocket.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/2024-08-16-Memorandum-opinion.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a>, adding, “It is the voter’s burden to ensure they have completed the steps necessary for their mail-in ballot to be included in the tabulation.”
In a prior petition to Judge Yeager, the Republican National Committee and Pennsylvania GOP <a href="https://www.democracydocket.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Pennsylvania_Lawsuit_Filing_1715088324.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a>, “There can be no dispute that the unequivocal law of Pennsylvania is that secrecy envelopes are required, and any mail-in ballot received without a secrecy envelope cannot be counted. Knowing this, the Department of State has taken it upon itself to unilaterally reach out to voters whose mail-in ballots have been rejected due to a perceived lack of a secrecy envelope and encourage them to cure such ballots by appearing in person and voting provisionally.”

Buy here for a theater near you.</a>
“To be clear, there is no right under Pennsylvania law to cure mail-in ballots which lack a secrecy envelope and Petitioners&#8217; attempt to create such a right where none exists should be rejected,” they stated. “The Republican Committees have a clear and obvious interest in the issues presented in this suit-and in ensuring that this issue is properly and fairly litigated to ensure that Pennsylvania law regarding a county board of elections&#8217; right to govern how it will conduct elections is followed. &#8230; The Republican Committees also have a right to intervene in this suit for another, independent reason: they seek to uphold the Election Code under which they, their voters, their member~, and their candidates exercise their constitutional rights to vote and to participate in elections in Pennsylvania.”

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/fox-news" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fox News</a> contributor Lisa Boothe pushed back on recent attempts by Democrats to brand the Republican Party as &#8220;weird&#8221; by highlighting some of the more outlandish things that have happened within the Democratic Party under President Joe Biden.
Boothe, who made the remarks Wednesday afternoon on the network&#8217;s &#8220;The Faulker Focus,&#8221; said: &#8220;I don&#8217;t think the Democrats can call the Republicans weird, and if they are, they&#8217;re the party of freaks.&#8221;
&#8220;I mean, Joe Biden was the one that picked a guy who has an animal roleplaying fetish that he&#8217;s open about that went on to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/sam-brinton-dress-wearing-ex-biden-official-who-stole-womens-luggage-gets-cushy-plea-deal" target="_blank" rel="noopener">steal suitcases</a>,&#8221; Boothe began. &#8220;He had a transgender activist in the South Lawn <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-faces-backlash-after-trans-activist-goes-topless-at-white-house-pride-event-a-disgrace-to-our-country" target="_blank" rel="noopener">flashing the cameras</a>.&#8221;
&#8220;You had a Democrat staffer <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/senate-democrat-staffer-caught-filming-gay-sex-tape-in-judiciary-hearing-room-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">filming a sex tape</a> on Capitol Hill,&#8221; she said. &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/photos-released-of-cocaine-discovered-at-white-house" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cocaine was found</a> at the White House.&#8221;
Boothe continued, &#8220;So if the Republican Party is the party of weirdos, the Democrat Party is [the party] of purple-haired freaks. But beyond that, let&#8217;s get to the issues. Kamala Harris can try to lie all she wants, because that&#8217;s what she is. I mean, we all remember when she stood on the debate stage during the 2020 presidential debate when she was vying but had to drop out before Iowa, she basically called Joe Biden a racist, signed up to be his VP, and then when asked about it, she was like, &#8216;Oh, it&#8217;s just politics, right?'&#8221;

&#8220;So if you vote for Kamala Harris, she&#8217;s going to sell you out,&#8221; Boothe said. &#8220;And she&#8217;s the kind of politician, Kamala Harris is, who punishes hardworking Americans and rewards criminality. You know, if you like affordable energy, too bad, she wants to ban offshore drilling and fracking. If you like your guns, too bad, she wants to ban AR-15s and confiscate them. If you like your private insurance, too bad, she said she&#8217;s getting rid of it and supports Medicare for All. But what does she support? She supports decriminalizing illegal border crossings. So if you&#8217;re an immigrant coming in here, you&#8217;re fine. She also told Jacob Blake, a guy who pulled a knife on police officers, that she was proud of him. So, hardworking Americans, she doesn&#8217;t like you. Criminal? She loves you.&#8221;

Republicans need to &#8220;run up the score&#8221; in a trio of states where Senate races for seats held by Democrats are taking place along with an expected rematch between former President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a> and President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a> in this year&#8217;s election, Sen. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jd-vance" target="_blank" rel="noopener">J.D. Vance</a> (R-OH) said on Sunday.
The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/kellyanne-conway-offers-insight-into-trump-veepstakes-suggests-person-of-color" target="_blank" rel="noopener">veepstakes</a> contender told Fox News host Maria Bartiromo the national party should lean into the &#8220;industrial Midwest&#8221; states of Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania — states where Biden narrowly prevailed over Trump in the 2020 election — so that the GOP can win back not just the White House but also wrest control the upper chamber of Congress from the Democrats.
&#8220;We really have to run up the score with a lot of voters who recognize that they have been left behind by the economic policies of Joe Biden,&#8221; Vance said on &#8220;Sunday Morning Futures.&#8221; He added, &#8220;If you want to make things in the United States of America, the most important thing, Maria, is low-cost energy and yet Joe Biden&#8217;s energy policies have been at war with workers in these states.&#8221;

Democrats have just <a href="https://www.senate.gov/history/partydiv.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">47 seats in the Senate</a>, which is fewer than the 49 seats held by Republicans, but they maintain the majority thanks to the support of independents who caucus with them. A number of races this year could tilt the balance of power in the GOP&#8217;s favor.
Sens. Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) and Bob Casey (D-PA) are running for re-election while the Michigan Senate contest is open as Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) is not seeking another term. David McCormick won the GOP primary in Pennsylvania. The GOP primaries in Wisconsin and Michigan are set to happen next month. All three contests are <a href="https://www.cookpolitical.com/ratings/senate-race-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rated &#8220;Lean D&#8221;</a> by The Cook Political Report, but Vance remains bullish.
&#8220;There&#8217;s a real opportunity for us to run up the score here to win those important electoral votes&#8221; in the White House race and to &#8220;elect a few really good guys to the United States Senate,&#8221; Vance argued on Sunday. He also said, &#8220;And I think that is the most important part of our country.&#8221;
Vance is one of the Republicans that Trump is considering as a running mate as he runs for a second term in the White House. Trump&#8217;s campaign has <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-campaign-requests-documents-from-some-vp-contenders-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reportedly sent</a> vetting materials to Vance, as well as to North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC), Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR), House Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik (R-NY), Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL), and former Cabinet member Ben Carson.
During his appearance on Fox News, Vance said he has not spoken about the &#8220;vice presidential thing&#8221; with Trump &#8220;directly,&#8221; but he did <a href="https://x.com/MAGAIncWarRoom/status/1799809612574511375" target="_blank" rel="noopener">expound on</a> campaigning with Trump on the 80th anniversary of D-Day and the excitement he witnessed. He said there are &#8220;a couple of very basic issues driving the election&#8221; that include border security, stopping cartels from trafficking fentanyl, and restoring a more affordable economy for Americans.
&#8220;There are just some basic things where if you compare the success of the Trump administration to the failure of the Biden administration — you know, sometimes this stuff is hard, Maria, but actually have seen it,&#8221; Vance added. &#8220;We saw four years of Trump, we saw four years of Biden, and I think a lot of Americans are saying take me back to peace and prosperity, which is what Donald Trump delivered.&#8221;
