1A - ICYMI: Kamala Harris’ Final Major Campaign Address

Less than one week from election day, Vice President Kamala Harris delivered her final address to a crowd of more than 75,000 in Washington D.C.

That number is according to the Harris campaign. Last night's rally was held at the Ellipse, the park south of the White House. It's also the site where former President Donald Trump held his rally on Jan. 6 of 2021.

It was an event alluded to by the vice president, who focused her address on the differences between herself and Trump.

The race between Harris and Trump remains tight less than a week from Election Day, and at least 50 million Americans have already voted.

We discuss the significance of Vice President Harris' address.

Federalist Radio Hour - Is The ‘American Dream’ The American Reality?

On this episode of "The Federalist Radio Hour," Oren Cass, chief economist at American Compass, joins Senior Elections Correspondent Matt Kittle to discuss the "American Reality." For years, the elite ruling class has sold the public a version of the "American Dream," but as it turns out, the dream of the average American is not the dream politicians have for us. Cass explains how recent polling on the "American Dream" should serve as an impetus for out-of-touch politicians to wake up.
