To recap the Republican closing message: anti-Black racism, Puerto Ricans are garbage, Liz Cheney should be assasinated and, if Trump wins, they will repeal Obamacare, decimate CHIPS Act manufacturing jobs, and put a conspiracy theorist in charge of public health.
As a reminder,
The US has had 46 presidents. Among them, there have been 91 criminal felony charges indicted. Those charges are distributed among the presidents as in the following list:

Federal authorities have officially found that the fake video of Haitians voting in Georgia, multiple times, with fake IDs in Fulton and Gwinnett Counties is a Russian disinformation operation. Anyone sharing it now knows this. https://t.co/Y5RxCrBthK
NEW-- Trump world has closed the election promising to inflict economic pain on the electorate; turn over the top health agencies to a leading vaccine skeptic; and pursue a disruptive, “massive reform” to the nation’s healthcare system

I don’t really do endorsements. I’m not shy about sharing my views, but I hate politics and don’t trust most politicians.
I also understand that people want to hear from me because I am not just a celebrity, I am a former Republican Governor.
My time as Governor taught me to love policy and ignore politics. I’m proud of the work I did to help clean up our air, create jobs, balance the budget, make the biggest infrastructure investment in state history, and take power from the politicians and give it back to the people when it comes to our redistricting process and our primaries in California.
That’s policy. It requires working with the other side, not insulting them to win your next election, and I know it isn’t sexy to most people, but I love it when I can help make people’s lives better with policies, like I still do through my institute at USC, where we fight for clean air and stripping the power from the politicians who rig the system against the people.
Let me be honest with you: I don’t like either party right now. My Republicans have forgotten the beauty of the free market, driven up deficits, and rejected election results. Democrats aren’t any better at dealing with deficits, and I worry about their local policies hurting our cities with increased crime.
It is probably not a surprise that I hate politics more than ever, which, if you are a normal person who isn’t addicted to this crap, you probably understand.
I want to tune out.
But I can’t. Because rejecting the results of an election is as un-American as it gets. To someone like me who talks to people all over the world and still knows America is the shining city on a hill, calling America is a trash can for the world is so unpatriotic, it makes me furious.
And I will always be an American before I am a Republican.
That’s why, this week, I am voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.
I’m sharing it with all of you because I think there are a lot of you who feel like I do. You don’t recognize our country. And you are right to be furious.
For decades, we’ve talked about the national debt. For decades, we’ve talked about comprehensive immigration reform that secures the border while fixing our broken immigration system. And Washington does nothing.
The problems just keep rolling, and we all keep getting angrier, because the only people that benefit from problems aren’t you, the people. The only people that benefit from this crap are the politicians who prefer having talking points to win elections to the public service that will make Americans’ lives better.
It is a just game to them. But it is life for my fellow Americans. We should be pissed!
But a candidate who won’t respect your vote unless it is for him, a candidate who will send his followers to storm the Capitol while he watches with a Diet Coke, a candidate who has shown no ability to work to pass any policy besides a tax cut that helped his donors and other rich people like me but helped no one else else, a candidate who thinks Americans who disagree with him are the bigger enemies than China, Russia, or North Korea - that won’t solve our problems.
It will just be four more years of bullshit with no results that makes us angrier and angrier, more divided, and more hateful.
We need to close the door on this chapter of American history, and I know that former President Trump won’t do that. He will divide, he will insult, he will find new ways to be more un-American than he already has been, and we, the people, will get nothing but more anger.
That’s enough reason for me to share my vote with all of you. I want to move forward as a country, and even though I have plenty of disagreements with their platform, I think the only way to do that is with Harris and Walz.
Vote this week. Turn the page and put this junk behind us.
And even if you disagree with me, vote, because that’s what we do as Americans. https://t.co/eHFZ723I4H
The Washington Post hasn’t sat out a presidential endorsement since 1988. Don’t tell me that Kamala Harris isn’t being held to unfair standards when the Los Angeles Times and Washington Post both had owners intervene to stop their own editorial boards from endorsing her. This is not how newspapers are supposed to work. This is the same Washington Post who claimed “democracy dies in darkness.”
No, it dies with clueless, terrible billionaires.
"The difference between us is that he's going to have an enemy's list. I'm going to have a to-do list to work on your concerns."
That to me was a brilliant distillation of the stakes in this race. @KamalaHarris should pound this constantly from now to the end.
I don’t understand - the media complained for weeks that Harris wasn’t doing interviews. She just did a tough, combative interview on *Fox*.
Where’s Trump’s ‘equivalent’ tough interview on MSNBC?
Where is it?
Why the media silence?
Anyone telling you how this race is going to turn out doesn’t know what they’re talking about. In 2020, polls showed Biden winning states in a landslide. Two years ago, Democrats were supposed to be routed. Now NBC says it’s a tie, ABC & CBS have Harris +3. Very close. 🇺🇸VOTE🇺🇸
We beat Donald Trump in 2017, 2018, 2020, and 2022. We can do it again. We won’t win if we spend the final three weeks panicking about what could happen.
