B
shaking his fist triumphantly at a world that had done all it could to break him will likely endure long after other memories of this election fade. Now, with only a few weeks left before
Election Day, operatives on both sides of the political aisle are eagerly awaiting his- tory’s next dramatic turn: Will America elect Trump or Vice President Kamala Har- ris on Nov. 5? Will Trump’s impassioned supporters
answer his call to fight, sending him back for an inaugural stroll with Melania down Pennsylvania Avenue? Or will Democrat insiders — led by
Obama-era operatives, Big Tech elites, Hollywood progressives, and the main- stream media — complete the improbable Hail Mary pass that began when Joe Biden was forced to step aside for Harris, making her the first modern-era Democrat to win her party’s nomination without capturing a

Their top agenda items include keep-
ing the border wide open for illegal entry, promoting the interests of global elites, po- licing and punishing free speech on the in- ternet, raising corporate taxes, ending the Senate filibuster, and reining in a Supreme Court that represents their single-biggest obstacle to achieving political domi- nance. But in the other world
— that of Trump, running mate Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance, and conservatives — the GOP pledges to seal the bor- der, end the “forever wars” that enrich defense contrac- tors, eliminate lawfare, cut taxes to expand opportuni- ty, and level the playing field for global trade. They also want to defend
the right of middle- and lower-class voters to say what they mean and mean what they say in the public square, by protecting their
