* In Arizona’s U.S. Senate race, Republican Kari Lake told Politico why she feels confident in her chances, despite recent polling showing her behind Democratic Rep. Ruben Gallego: “Our polling is a little different. We take polling, but we also combine it with AI, which reads all of what’s happening on social media and across the Internet.”
* While Harris spent the final weekend before Election Day focusing on a “unity” message, Trump told an audience that he considers the Democratic Party to be “demonic.”
* In Wisconsin’s U.S. Senate race, Republican Eric Hovde appears increasingly fixated on Sen. Tammy Baldwin’s sexual orientation, despite the fact that Wisconsin voters didn’t seem to care about the Democratic incumbent being a lesbian while electing her in 2018 and 2012.
* And while Harrison Ford is not known for political activism, the actor has nevertheless endorsed Harris and appeared in a video explaining why he has gotten involved this year.
