Wake Up Right - November 5, 2024

In partnership with

Can you believe it’s been nine years since Donald Trump entered the political arena? It feels like just yesterday. I guess that’s why they say, “Time flies when you’re having fun.”

That’s what Trump did; he made politics fun. And he did it while facing non-stop persecution — the Russia hoax, two impeachments, the stolen election, nearly 100 felony charges, two assassination attempts — and the man keeps going, night after night, dancing to the YMCA with crowds of his 20,000 closest friends.

I am a Trump guy (I know I hide it well 😆). And it hit me yesterday as he held four rallies, concluding after 2 AM in Michigan – this is the last time we’re going to watch him campaign for president. So, win or lose [hopefully win 🙏], I had a blast. And I know you did, too.

Now, there isn’t much left to say besides: Vote. Vote for the guy who fought for you, literally took a bullet for you, and made you smile while doing it.

Big election integrity win in key swing state

The Georgia Supreme Court ruled that absentee ballots received after Election Day won't be countered — a major win for election integrity and the Republican National Committee (RNC).

Back up: Last week, a Cobb County judge extended the absentee deadline to November 8th after the county failed to send ballots to roughly 3,000 voters on time.

The details: Yesterday, the state Supreme Court overturned the Cobb County judge's ruling after the RNC filed an Emergency Motion objecting to the lower court’s decision.

  • The court cited state election law that mandates election officials "count only those absentee ballots received by the statutory deadline of 7:00 p.m. on Election Day, November 5, 2024.”

Trump team reacts: RNC Chairman Michael Whatley celebrated the ruling, writing on X: “HUGE election integrity victory in Georgia... We will keep fighting, keep winning, and keep sharing updates."

Zoom out: The Real Clear Politics average of polling in Georgia currently has Trump with a razor-thin lead — 49.1% to 47.8%.

Big picture: Georgia and the state's 16 electoral votes are a critical part of Trump's pathway to victory tonight.

Trump’s closing message

Speaking at his final presidential campaign rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Trump ended his speech, telling the crowd:

“Today will be the most important day in the history of our country. And together we will make America powerful again. We will make America wealthy again. We will make America healthy again... We will make America strong again. We will make America proud again. We will make America safe again. And we will Make America Great Again. I love you! I love you all! God bless you!"
