BREAKING: Donald Trump gets more terrible news as the new Quinnipiac University poll reveals that Kamala Harris is leading him among likely voters with 49% to his 47%.

These numbers come after Harris' hugely successful nomination speech at the Democratic National Convention.

"Conventions done, debates in the planning, rhetoric getting rougher, there’s a slight numerical difference, but it is essentially a tie as the presidential race roars toward November 5th," said Quinnipiac University polling analyst Tim Malloy.

Unfortunately for Trump, Harris' numbers will likely increase as more voters learn of her life-changing policy proposals and Trump continue to ignite scandals (his Arlington Cemetery debacle being just the latest).

Among Democrats, 98% support Harris. Among Republicans, 94% support Trump. Independents are evenly split, with each candidate receiving 45%.

Harris has a 21-point lead over Trump among women. Trump has an 18 point among men.

BREAKING: Hollywood superstar actor Alan Ritchson of Reacher fame tears into Donald Trump with the most brutal celebrity attack to date — and cites his own Christian faith as a reason.

This is going to enrage MAGA fans...

"Trump is a rapist and a con man, and yet the entire Christian church seems to be treat him like he’s their poster child and it’s unreal. I don’t understand it," said Ritchson in a new front page interview for The Hollywood Reporter.

"Christians today have become the most vitriolic tribe. It is so antithetical to what Jesus was calling us to be and to do," he said.

In the same interview, Ritchson tore into the police officers who killed the innocent Black woman Breonna Taylor during a raid.

"That was a tragic case," said Ritchson. "Cops get away with murder all the time, and the fact that we can’t really hold them accountable for their improprieties is disturbing to me... I mean, you shouldn’t have to spend more time getting an education as a hairstylist than as a cop who’s armed with a deadly weapon."

It takes real courage to tell the truth during such polarized times. Ritchson should be commended for speaking out. Democracy is on the line.
