Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign has been slated as “failing, desperate and panicking” after fresh data pointed to a surge in early votes cast for Donald Trump.
A comparison of early postal votes in four crucial swing states revealed that more Americans are turning out for the 45th President compared to 2020.
At the same time, Trump’s ex-chief of staff John Kelly claimed that the former President had praised Adolf Hitler on multiple occasions, prompting fury and denials from Republicans and campaigners.
A “panicking” Harris was quick to pounce on his claims, arguing that Trump’s remarks were “deeply troubling and incredibly dangerous”.

However, the Democrats’ White House hopeful and Kelly have now come under fire from a senior Trump ally.
Pastors for Trump board member Mark Burns told GB News: “Of course, these comments reveals a failing, desperate and panicking campaign.
“John Kelly is a fired former disgruntled employee who will say anything to say relevant.
“It is the Harris campaign who is becoming unhinged and desperate after the latest polling shows that no matter what the Democrats say about President Donald Trump, the American people are showing support for a safer border, a stronger economy and a removal of the woke agenda against the conservative values of millions of Americans.
“Americans don’t want to pay for gender transition surgeries for federal inmates!”
His comments followed those of Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung, who said Kelly “has totally beclowned himself with these debunked stories.”

However, ex-Democratic congressional candidate Qasim Rashid told GB News that Trump was looking to “distract from” his alleged Hitler comments by filing a complaint against the Labour Party over alleged “foreign interference” in the US election.
Republicans Overseas UK’s Greg Swenson separately told GB News the Labour row was a case of “bad timing” and could be a “speed bump” in UK-US relations under a potential Trump presidency, adding that David Lammy’s past comments about Trump “were really obnoxious and offensive”.
But Swenson was clear on the outcome of November’s election.
“Trump will win. All the momentum is with Trump right now,” he said.
More Republicans are voting early via post in 2024 than in 2020 across the board

Swenson’s comments come after more and more postal votes look to be switching from blue to red, according to fresh CNN polling.
While Trump is only ahead in Arizona out of the four key swing states highlighted, more Republicans are voting early via post in 2024 than in 2020 across the board, meaning Democrats may not be able to rely on remote votes to turn the tide on election night as they did four years ago.
Nationwide polling averages say that the US still hangs in the balance – with Harris ahead by just 1.8 percentage points as of October 23.
But Joe Biden’s Vice President has been faltering since the start of this month, while his predecessor Trump has enjoyed a slow but steady increase in support since mid-September.
