Trump Takes the Lead in Pennsylvania
A recent poll by InsiderAdvantage suggests a potential shift in voter sentiment in the key swing state of Pennsylvania.

However, the lead is still within the survey’s margin of error of 3.46%, making the race incredibly close and unpredictable.
Mark Cuban’s Critique of Harris’ Policies
Billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban has publicly questioned the division in tax policies between Vice President Kamala Harris and President Joe Biden. Cuban highlighted a potential disparity, suggesting that Harris’ tax plan could lead to a reduction in the effective tax rate for a vast majority of startups – 98 percent, to be precise. He also pointed out a clear difference in their stances on fracking, raising questions about the level of alignment between the two leading Democrats.
DeSantis vs. Harris: Hurricane Preparations and Accusations
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has vehemently dismissed Vice President Kamala Harris’ accusations of “political gamesmanship” regarding Hurricane Milton preparations, labeling them as “delusional.” DeSantis emphasized his commitment to the people of Florida, accusing Harris of attempting to politicize the storm for her campaign. This exchange highlights the sharp divide in the political landscape, particularly during times of crisis.
Cuban Criticizes Musk’s Free Speech Approach on X
Mark Cuban has voiced his concerns about Elon Musk’s approach to free speech on X, the platform previously known as Twitter. While acknowledging Musk’s entrepreneurial success, Cuban described him as a “troll” who engages in trolling for its own sake. Cuban expressed his concern about the platform’s association with hate speech and inappropriate content, which he believes could pose a problem for advertisers.
Musk’s Bold Claims About Billionaire Influence
