Trump: “Mark Zuckerberg can’t vote for a Democrat”
Forecast guru predicts Harris victory
Republican Cheney wants to vote for Democrat Harris
Who has the bigger… audience? Former President Donald Trump never misses an opportunity to boast that his campaign appearances are better attended than those of his Democratic rival Kamala Harris. When Harris made fun of this attitude during the TV debate, Trump reacted with more than a hint of annoyance. Barack Obama has also joked about it.
The New York Times has now counted. At a total of six different performances in August, journalists took photos, videos and 360-degree shots to analyze: Which crowd is larger? The answer is extremely unsatisfactory: The audience is about the same size, but there were a few more people at Harris’ performances.

In the phone call, the Facebook founder told him, that he had never supported a Republican before, but simply could not vote for a Democratic candidate in this voteEven though the former president didn’t say it that way, it was clear what he wanted to say: Zuckerberg is voting for Trump.

Forecast guru predicts Harris victory
Allan Lichtman, US historian with reliable forecasts, has published its prediction for the outcome of the US election on November 5Lichtman’s successful model uses a questionnaire with 13 questions. His method determines a feeling of satisfaction rather than political attitudes and in this way correctly predicted the outcome of the last ten US presidential elections. His view: Kamal Harris will do it. Of the 13 questions, eight are in favor of the Democrat and three are in favor of Donald Trump. Only the foreign policy points could still be tricky for Harris, says Lichtman, but even so, it is unlikely to be enough for the Republican.

She has such an expressive and “infectious laugh”. Kamala Harris has a fan from an unexpected corner: Russian President Vladimir Putin is supporting the Democrat in the US presidential election from afar. Her laughter shows that everything is going well for her, said Putin at the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok. He has always favored Joe Biden as the next president. Since he has been taken out of the election campaign, he will now “support” Harris. However, the past has shown that Putin rarely means his words the way he says them.
