The 2024 presidential election has unveiled an unexpected fault line in American politics: pet ownership. According to the comprehensive AP VoteCast survey encompassing over 120,000 voters, President-elect Donald Trump captured a majority of pet owners' votes, with particularly robust support from dog owners. While dog owners demonstrated clear Republican leanings, cat owners showed more diverse political affiliations.

The campaign took an unexpected turn when previous remarks by Trump's vice presidential pick, Senator JD Vance, about "childless cat ladies" emerged as a pivotal moment. The narrative gained additional momentum when Taylor Swift entered the political arena, embracing the label in her endorsement of Kamala Harris with a defiant declaration: "Taylor Swift, Childless Cat Lady."

The survey data paints a nuanced picture of American voters. Pet owners, comprising roughly two-thirds of the electorate, have traditionally been overlooked in political analysis. The breakdown shows cat-only owners representing 15% of voters, while 20% maintain both cats and dogs, and 30% are exclusively dog owners. This distribution elevated dog owners to a crucial voting demographic with a substantial impact on the election outcome.

Gender dynamics played a significant role in the results. Approximately 60% of women who exclusively owned cats backed Harris, matching her support levels among women without pets. Trump, however, secured majority support among male cat owners and garnered approximately 60% backing from male dog owners.

AP survey data indicates that only 40% of female cat owners aligned with the Republican Party, suggesting an intrinsic link between pet preference and political orientation. While the Trump campaign didn't explicitly court dog owners, unlike Harris' outreach to cat owners, it generated controversy with unsubstantiated claims about immigrants in Ohio targeting pets. These statements, however, showed no measurable impact on voting patterns. Party loyalty emerged as the primary factor, with roughly 60% of male dog owners and half of female dog owners identifying as Republicans.

The results highlight a strategic challenge for Democrats in appealing to dog owners, who represent the larger share of pet-owning voters. Notably, neither candidate personally owns pets, resulting in an absence of animal companions during campaign events. Political analysts suggest future campaigns might benefit from increased pet visibility, particularly given the surprising influence of pet ownership on this election's outcome.

President-elect Donald Trump is preparing to name Stephen Miller, his chief immigration strategist, as White House deputy chief of staff for policy, according to two sources familiar with the plans who spoke to CNN.

Miller, who previously served as senior adviser and chief speechwriter during Trump's first term, is expected to take on an expanded role focused on implementing restrictive immigration policies in the president-elect's second administration. The longtime Trump confidant has been heavily involved in transition planning and will significantly influence future staffing decisions, sources told CNN.

In recent months, Miller has increased his public presence, frequently accompanying Trump on his private plane to campaign events and emerging as a more visible speaker at rallies.

When asked about Miller's anticipated appointment, Trump spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said, "President-elect Trump will begin making decisions on who will serve in his second administration soon. Those decisions will be announced when they are made."

Miller has outlined ambitious plans for immigration enforcement, stating in a recent Fox News interview that mass deportations would commence "on Inauguration Day, as soon as he takes the oath of office." He has called for increasing deportations tenfold to exceed one million annually.

During Trump's first administration, Miller was a key architect of several controversial immigration policies, including family separation at migrant detention facilities and travel restrictions on individuals from predominantly Muslim nations.

Since Trump left office, Miller founded America First Legal, an advisory group that contributed to Project 2025, the Heritage Foundation's comprehensive conservative blueprint for the next Republican administration. Though Trump has repeatedly distanced himself from Project 2025 on the campaign trail, claiming no knowledge of its origins, the initiative maintains close ties to Miller and other Trump allies.

In a 2023 interview with The New York Times, Miller detailed plans to construct military-operated detention centers in Texas border regions to house immigrants awaiting deportation. He acknowledged that, as in Trump's first term, many immigration policies would likely face legal challenges but would primarily rely on executive orders rather than new legislation.

"Any activists who doubt President Trump's resolve in the slightest are making a drastic error: Trump will unleash the vast arsenal of federal powers to implement the most spectacular migration crackdown," Miller told The Times.

President Joe Biden delivered a measured and reflective speech following electoral results, emphasizing the endurance of American democracy and calling for national unity. In his address, Biden confirmed he had spoken with President-elect Donald Trump to congratulate him on his victory and discuss the transition of power.

"For over 200 years, America has carried on the greatest experiment in self-government in the history of the world. The people vote and choose their own leaders, and they do it peacefully," Biden stated at the beginning of his remarks. The president emphasized his commitment to a peaceful transfer of power, stating he had directed his "entire administration to work with his team to ensure a peaceful and orderly transition."

In his speech, Biden also acknowledged Vice President Harris' contributions, praising her character and campaign efforts. "She has a backbone, like a ramrod. She has great character. She gave her whole heart and effort. And she and her entire team should be proud of the campaign they ran," he said.

The president made a strong appeal for national unity, urging Americans to see beyond political divisions: "Campaigns are contests of competing visions. The country chooses one or the other. We accept the choice the country made. I've said many times, you can't love your country only when you win. You can't love your neighbor only when you agree. Something I hope we can do, no matter who you voted for, is see each other not as adversaries, but as fellow Americans. I also hope we can lay to rest the question about the integrity of the American electoral system. It is honest. It is fair, and it is transparent. I will fulfill my oath, and I will honor the Constitution on January 20th. We'll have a peaceful transfer of power here in America."

Looking back at his presidency, Biden highlighted his administration's achievements, particularly in infrastructure development. "We're going to see over $1 trillion worth of infrastructure work done, changing people's lives in rural communities and communities that are in real difficulty," he noted.

The President concluded his speech with a message of resilience, sharing what he called his father's wisdom: "Setbacks are unavoidable. But giving up is unforgivable." He assured the American people, "We're going to be okay. We need to keep going. And above all, we need to keep the faith."

The speech marked a significant moment in the transfer of power process, with Biden indicating there are "74 days to finish the term" and emphasizing his commitment to making "every day count."

Dear President-elect Donald Trump, the next leader of the United States of America,

As you assume once again the mantle of the presidency and leadership of the free world, I write to you with an urgent purpose.

The world watches you today with a shared conviction that good must triumph over global evil. Your previous tenure demonstrated that appeasement of malevolent forces serves only to embolden them. As a fellow believer in the Republican tradition, you understand that national strength alone can safeguard a nation's citizens.

In your victory speech, you mentioned your family and their support throughout your campaign and beyond. I wanted to tell you a bit about my family and about my son Eitan, who is still held captive in Gaza.

Video: Donald Trump's victory speech / Credit: Washington Examiner

We live in Kiryat Arba, near Hebron – a name I know resonates in America, where several cities share this biblical designation. Each day brings renewed anxiety for Eitan's safety, tempered with profound pride in his actions. When terror struck on October 7, he chose to help others escape rather than seek his own safety, saving dozens before being taken captive in the afternoon hours. This exemplifies his character – Eitan has always been someone who assists others, whether through attentive listening, concrete action, or wise counsel.

Our family's sole wish is to have Eitan home before his captivity reaches 400 days. His young sisters, aged five and eight, maintain a vigil of hope, decorating our front door with drawings awaiting his return.

We understand the weight of your influence and the impact of your policies. At this critical juncture, we need you to fulfill your pledge to help secure the hostages' release. Every previous attempt has ended in failure.

Hamas continues its pattern of rejection, seemingly intent on maximizing our anguish while demanding concessions beyond Israel's capacity to give. Each negotiating delegation raised our hopes, leaving us fixed to news broadcasts and mobile phones, desperate for any sign of progress. Yet Hamas remained intransigent, amplifying our family's torment with each refusal.

The time has come to forge a new path for the hostages. The time has come for Israel to dictate the terms of any arrangement with Hamas from a position of strength and power, ensuring that our hostages will be the last hostages in history.

Surrendering to Hamas is also not an option. This is why we need you, your policy, and the strength you know how to project in the face of global evil. May God bless you and America.

The atmosphere at the West Palm Beach arena remained notably restrained on election night, despite the promising returns. The crowd's measured response – whether stemming from the lingering shadow of 2020 or the familiarity of a second Donald Trump victory – stood in stark contrast to the electric shock of 2016. The hundreds of supporters present displayed enthusiasm without surprise; they had, after all, been the first to believe in Trump's ability to achieve the improbable.

This victory places Trump in a rare historical category, becoming only the second president since the 19th century to secure non-consecutive terms. The only previous such occurrence was Grover Cleveland, who served as America's 22nd and 24th president.

For multiple compelling reasons, Trump's second ascent to the presidency carries even greater significance than his first. His return to power promises sweeping global changes: Trump will prioritize a rapid resolution to the Ukraine conflict. The author of "The Art of the Deal" will negotiate a settlement between Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Vladimir Putin. His approach will deny both leaders their maximum demands while refusing to allow an endless conflict without clear objectives.

The Israeli conflict will inevitably command his attention. Trump's administration will lift Joe Biden's restrictions on Israel, ensuring full support for Israeli needs. However, he will expect Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to establish definitive timelines for military operations.

Trump's victory over formidable domestic opposition – including seven pending legal challenges, significant resistance within the Republican Party he represented, and the united front of the Democratic establishment and mainstream media – signals an irreversible transformation in American politics.

The MAGA movement and the phenomenon of "Trumpism" have proven themselves not as temporary disruptions but as permanent fixtures in the American political landscape. Trump speaks of forging a new coalition that transcends traditional Republican Party boundaries, instead uniting various anti-establishment forces across America. Tellingly, his victory speech notably omitted any mention of "Republicans."

The alignment of Robert Kennedy Jr – the scion of America's preeminent Democratic dynasty – with Trump, specifically on anti-establishment grounds, powerfully illustrates the new contours of American politics.

The Republican Party has secured a Senate majority, yet this victory belongs less to traditional Republicans than to those who aligned themselves with Trump's vision. Those who resisted this realignment had already departed the political stage.

While Americans head to the polls today to choose between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, another figure has emerged in the national spotlight – Ella Emhoff, Harris's fashion-forward stepdaughter.

Ella is the biological daughter of Douglas Emhoff, a Jewish-American attorney and Kamala Harris's second husband. In a meaningful step that helped blend their family, Harris embraced both of Douglas's children: Ella and Cole.

The 25-year-old Emhoff has carved out her own distinctive identity beyond her role in the potential First Family. With half a million Instagram followers, appearances at elite fashion shows, her own knitwear design line, and regular red carpet appearances – including a landmark debut at the Met Gala – she's become a cultural force in her own right.

The bond between Emhoff and Harris runs deep. Affectionately calling Harris "Momala" – a playful fusion of "Mom" and Harris's first name – Emhoff embraces her as a third parent alongside her biological mother, Kristin.

Their relationship began over a seaside dinner in 2013 when Harris started dating Douglas. Harris's emotional connection is evident in her birthday message to Ella: "My heart is complete and my life is full when you're in it."

Happy birthday to our daughter, Ella. My heart is whole and my life is full with you in it.

Love, Momala pic.twitter.com/LeooS8BBaF

 In fashion circles, Emhoff has established herself as a Gen Z trendsetter known for her distinctive hipster aesthetic. Her political stances appear to mirror the current wave of pro-Palestinian campus activism sweeping across American universities, reflecting the fashion industry's tendency to align with trending social movements.

Her social media activism sparked controversy last November when she shared a fundraising link for Gaza children on Instagram, notably omitting any reference to the Hamas attack of October 7. The campaign, run by the Ohio-based Palestine Children's Relief Fund, generated nearly $8 million, but critics condemned Emhoff's silence regarding Israeli children killed by Hamas on October 7.

Further controversy emerged in March 2024 when Emhoff posted a link supporting UNRWA donations following revelations about UNRWA employees' involvement in the October 7 attack. The link disappeared from her Instagram page within hours.

Despite her father's strong Jewish identity, Emhoff wasn't raised in the Jewish faith and doesn't identify with it. Yet, in an interesting intersection of cultures, she chose a Modern Orthodox Jewish designer for her inauguration outfit, pairing an Italian Miu Miu tartan coat with a burgundy dress from Jewish fashion label Batsheva.

Her inauguration ensemble became an instant social media sensation, with The New York Times declaring her a fashion influencer. This recognition led to a contract with IMG Models, one of the industry's most prestigious agencies.

Her credentials match her status – Emhoff graduated from the elite Parsons School of Design, concentrating in fine arts with an emphasis on fashion and textiles. Her post-graduation knitwear line, inspired by her passion for knitting, features prominently on her social media.

In the fashion world, Emhoff forms one half of an industry power couple with GQ menswear writer Sam Hine. The pair frequently commands attention at runway shows and red carpet events.

While Emhoff may not be a household name in Israel, her influence as a cultural figure shouldn't be underestimated. Her significant sway over Generation Z, combined with the possibility of Harris winning the presidency, positions her as a potentially influential voice who could rally pro-Palestinian voters to support her stepmother.

Donald Trump's presidential campaign is banking on winning over disaffected young men, though getting this traditionally low-turnout demographic to the polls presents a significant challenge, The Wall Street Journal reports.

Election analysts and researchers note that young men vote at significantly lower rates compared to other demographic groups. This cohort shows higher levels of political disengagement than older generations and their female counterparts, while expressing growing skepticism toward traditional institutions.

"I've had to ask a couple of my friends to come out and vote," says Joompit Nakhapakorn, 23, a consultant in Milwaukee who attended Trump's rally there on Friday. "They're like, 'Do I have to vote? Is it a good use of my time?'"

Just updated the early voting results, now the % are even.

What are these 20%-ers?

This is so exhausting.

Congrats on 70M+ early voters. That's great.

 While youth voting saw an uptick in the 2020 presidential election, the numbers remained well below older voter participation. Census Bureau surveys show that just over half of 18- to 24-year-olds voted in 2020, with men in this age group voting at lower rates than women. In contrast, approximately three-quarters of Americans aged 65 to 74 cast ballots that year.

Trump's campaign has deliberately targeted young male voters through appearances at a Philadelphia sneaker convention, an Ultimate Fighting Championship event in New Jersey, and on Joe Rogan's podcast. The strategy received a boost on Thursday with an endorsement from Jake Paul, a social media influencer and boxer with 20 million YouTube subscribers.

Luke Meihack, 25, a physical education teacher from Milwaukee's suburbs, represents the demographic Trump hopes to capture. "It's mostly guys. Guys are more big into Trump," he says. "He's a guy that speaks in a way that demands respect, and that appeals to a lot of guys."

The Trump campaign's masculine messaging strategy carries risks, potentially alienating female voters who already heavily favor Kamala Harris. At a recent Madison Square Garden rally, the event featured UFC Chief Executive Dana White and former wrestler Hulk Hogan, who entered carrying an American flag while tearing his shirt off. Some Trump supporters expressed concern about the rally's tone. "It was too bro-tastic!" says conservative broadcaster Megyn Kelly, warning that the spectacle could alienate women. "We don't need to rally the base or guys anymore."

Harris's campaign has countered with its own high-profile endorsements, including basketball star LeBron James. According to polling from Democratic-aligned Blueprint, James represents the most influential celebrity political endorsement among young men.

Recent data from Harvard University's Institute of Politics shows Harris leading Trump by 20 points among registered voters under 30. Among 18- to 29-year-old men who say they will definitely vote, Harris leads 55% to 38%. However, Trump holds an 11-point advantage among less certain male voters in the same age group.

"If you have a traditional electorate, Harris will win young men, likely by double digits," says John Della Volpe, the Institute of Politics polling director. "If Trump expands the electorate in similar ways that he did in 2016, it could be a different story."

He estimated that Trump could do 5 to 7 points better among young men than he did in 2020 – if they show up. "These young men are telling us they are disaffected from politics," he said. "They're incredibly skeptical, among the most skeptical among us. So encouraging them to participate in an institution they don't trust is hard."

Former President Donald Trump remains the favorite to win the presidential election, but Vice President Kamala Harris has seen her betting odds improve significantly over the past 48 hours, according to multiple betting markets, reports the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

Harris had reached her longest odds since entering the presidential race in July when, on Wednesday, she stood at +180, while Trump was positioned as a -210 favorite at BetOnline. By Friday, the odds had shifted considerably, with Trump's position softening to -173 and Harris improving to +148. These odds mean bettors must wager $173 to win $100 on Trump, while a $100 bet on Harris would yield $148 in winnings.

 BetOnline, an offshore sportsbook operating outside US regulations, attributed the movement to a strong surge of Harris support, with wagers favoring her by a 4-to-1 margin over the past two days. After initially adjusting Trump's odds from -190 to -180 on Thursday, the book recorded a $41,914 bet on Trump, briefly pushing his odds to -185.

However, substantial support for Harris, including wagers of $35,000 at +165 and $20,000 at +160, prompted further adjustments. "Kamala continues to gain some momentum," BetOnline.ag brand manager Dave Mason posted on X.

Similar movements were observed at BetMGM's Ontario, Canada location, where analyst John Ewing reported Trump's odds shifting from -225 on Wednesday to -185 by Friday, with Harris moving from +175 to +140.

The trend is also reflected in aggregated data from electionbettingodds.com, which compiles odds from multiple betting platforms. Trump's implied probability of victory has decreased from 61.2 percent on Monday to 56.5 percent by Friday, while Harris's chances have improved from 38.3 percent to 43 percent.

According to recordings obtained by The Daily Beast, Jeffrey Epstein claimed intimate knowledge of Trump's behavior, including allegations about his treatment of women. The recordings, made by author Michael Wolff in August 2017, capture Epstein speaking at length about his relationship with Trump two years before his death in a jail cell. "I was Donald's closest friend for 10 years," Epstein told Wolff in the tapes. According to Epstein's recorded account, he and Trump frequently socialized together in New York and Atlantic City.

BREAKING: In a new leaked tape, Jeffrey Epstein says he was Donald Trump's "closest friend" for 10 years.

Epstein also revealed that the first time Donald Trump slept with Melania was on his "Lolita Express" private jet.pic.twitter.com/8jCZgLEwsb

— Republicans against Trump (@RpsAgainstTrump) November 3, 2024

 The tapes were made public by Wolff, who interviewed Epstein for his bestseller "Fire and Fury." Wolff says he possesses up to 100 hours of recordings from his conversations with Epstein, who was found dead in his prison cell in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.

Among the most striking claims, Epstein alleged that Trump and his now-wife Melania first became intimate aboard Epstein's private plane, known as the "Lolita Express." "The first time he slept with her was on my plane," Epstein claimed in the recording.

Epstein described what he claimed was an elaborate plan by Trump to pursue relationships with his friends' spouses. In the tapes, Epstein alleged that Trump would invite male associates to his Trump Tower office for conversations about their intimate lives, including offering encounters with beauty pageant contestants. Epstein claimed their wives were secretly listening on speakerphone, which was unknown to these men. Trump would then allegedly use the recorded conversations to pursue relationships with the wives by revealing their husbands' expressed interest in other women.

 He described specific incidents, including allegations about Trump's behavior in what Epstein called "the Egyptian Room" in an Atlantic City casino. "He came out afterward and said, 'It was great, it was great. The only thing I really like to do is f--- the wives of my best friends. That is just the best,'" Epstein claimed on the recording. "He's a horrible human being. He does nasty things to his best friends, best friends' wives, anyone who he first tries to gain their trust and uses it to do bad things to them," Epstein said.

The Trump campaign forcefully rejected the recordings' contents. A spokesperson said that Wolff is "a disgraced writer who routinely fabricates lies in order to sell fiction books because he clearly has no morals or ethics. He waited until days before the election to make outlandish false smears all in an effort to engage in blatant election interference on behalf of Kamala Harris. He's a failed journalist that is resorting to lying for attention." Campaign sources added that it was "widely known" that Trump had "kicked Jeffrey Epstein out of Mar-a-Lago" when he learned about the sex-trafficking allegations.

The relationship between Trump and Epstein has been previously documented through photographs, flight logs, and Trump's own past comments. In 2002, Trump told New York Magazine of Epstein: "I've known Jeff for 15 years. Terrific guy. He's a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side."

On the tapes, Epstein offered a mixed assessment of Trump's character, calling him "charming" and "always fun" while also describing him as "functionally illiterate" and claiming he was "incapable" of reading a balance sheet. "He's charming. In a devious way, he's charming," Epstein said. "To some extent, it's a typical tragedy where he believes his own bulls---. He has delusions of grandiosity, then he takes it on board."

The recordings emerged days before the election and followed recent allegations by former Miss Switzerland Beatrice Keul, who claimed Trump groped her in 1992. Trump has been accused of sexual misconduct by 28 women, but has denied all allegations made against him.

The release of these tapes adds to the complex history between two former friends whose paths diverged dramatically – one toward infamy, prison, and suicide; the other toward power, the Oval Office, and his own criminal conviction for paying hush money to a porn star.

Former President Donald Trump staged a theatrical campaign appearance in Green Bay, Wisconsin, on Wednesday, wearing a safety vest and operating a garbage truck to capitalize on President Joe Biden's verbal misstep about Trump supporters from the previous evening.

The dramatic display came after Biden made what his team later described as a verbal gaffe during a Tuesday evening Zoom call with a Latino voters organization. "The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters. His demonization of Latinos is unconscionable, and it's un-American," Biden said in the call.

Biden's comment stems from comedian Tony Hinchcliffe's remarks at Trump's Madison Square Garden rally last weekend, where he referred to Puerto Rico as "a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean." The comment has already cost Trump the endorsement of reggaeton singer Nicky Jam, while drawing support for Vice President Kamala Harris from Puerto Rican stars Bad Bunny and Ricky Martin.

 "I have to begin by saying 250 million Americans are not garbage," Trump declared at the start of his 90-minute speech. The former president arrived at the arena wearing an orange reflective vest, having earlier posed in the cab of a garbage truck emblazoned with "Trump" in blue lettering.

At the Green Bay rally, Trump supporters seized Biden's comment. Former Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre drew enthusiastic applause when he addressed the crowd: "I can assure you, we're not garbage. How dare you say that. Looking out, I see police officers, teachers, nurses, grandparents, students. I see everyday Americans that make this country great."

Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson connected Biden's remarks to previous Democratic campaign controversies, saying: "He called you garbage, but, let's face it, that's not the first time the Democratic leaders have told half of Americans what they thought about them." Johnson likened it to Hillary Clinton's 2016 "basket of deplorables" comment about Trump supporters.

Harris moved quickly to distance herself from Biden's remarks, telling reporters Wednesday: "I strongly disagree with any criticism of people based on who they voted for." The vice president has recently focused on outreach to moderate Republicans and independents in her campaign efforts.

When questioned about Hinchcliffe's Puerto Rico comments while sitting in the truck's cab, Trump maintained his distance from the controversy, repeating that he didn't know the comedian or how he was booked for Madison Square Garden. "I don't know anything about the comedian. I don't know who he is. I've never seen him," Trump said. "He's a comedian, what can I tell you? I know nothing about him. I don't know why he's there."
