With Election Day set for Tuesday, Nov. 5, both parties are ramping up their final messages [1] to voters.
Democrats, led by prominent figures like Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, have intensified their criticism of Donald Trump and his supporters, using strong rhetoric in the last stretch of the campaign.
Even Harris surrogate Mark Cuban recently stirred controversy by making statements that some saw as an insult to women supporting Trump.
DISGUSTING: Top Kamala surrogate Mark Cuban says no “strong, intelligent women” support President Trump.
They’re now openly attacking the millions of strong, intelligent women fighting alongside President Trump every day to Make America Great Again.

Adding to the pre-election fervor, ‘Seed the Vote’ recently released an ad that paints a dire future if Trump is re-elected, alleging a series of extreme outcomes.
The ad, which has attracted significant attention, envisions scenarios in which Trump would install J.D. Vance as a “dictator for life” and Elon Musk would reportedly set up concentration camps.
This is so insane on so many levels
•The first full minute is an admission of all the ways that leftists have screwed us over.
•The only leaders that rounded up people in camps or who denied people’s civil rights have been @TheDemocrats [5] (Japanese internment, anyone?) and…— Roxanne Hoge (@RoxanneHoge) November 1, 2024 [6]

The themes have sparked reactions from Trump’s supporters, who see the ad as a wild attempt to incite fear and rally opposition against Trump and his allies.
Musk, a key figure in the tech world, has also been vocal about his support for free speech and has encouraged open dialogue on X, formerly known as Twitter, which he now owns.
X has become a significant platform for Trump and his supporters, offering a space free from some of the restrictions that were present in 2020.
Musk has also been open about his alignment with Trump, highlighting the former president’s commitment to free speech and advocating against what he views as censorship by some in the Democratic Party.
Musk stood alongside Trump during a recent visit to Butler, Pennsylvania—the site of a past assassination attempt on the former president—and has actively promoted voter participation leading up to the election.
In a contrasting move to Cheney’s ad, Musk recently promoted a pro-Trump ad that highlights what Trump supporters see as resilience in the face of continuous challenges.
The ad narrates a journey through Trump’s struggles, from impeachment inquiries and legal battles to a recent assassination attempt.
It recounts: “First, it was hoaxes, witch hunts, and impeachments. Then it was FBI raids, courtrooms, and mug shots. Finally, it was bullets in a Pennsylvania field.”
The ad shows images of Trump in powerful settings, such as standing before helicopters flying the American flag, and ends with Trump declaring, “America’s future will be bigger, better, bolder, brighter, happier, stronger, freer, greater, and more united than ever before.”
It also references Biden’s recent controversial comment in which he called Trump supporters “garbage.”
The narrator in the ad counters with a message urging supporters to turn out in full force on Election Day, saying, “If Donald Trump can get through all of that, we can get out to vote.”

With Democrats warning of extreme outcomes and Trump’s supporters framing the election as a fight for the future of the country, the final days before the election reflect the intensity of this campaign cycle.
As Musk and other influential voices advocate for open dialogue and voter participation, both parties are focused on mobilizing their bases in these last critical days before the election.
