By Katelyn Caralle, senior US political reporter

Donald Trump’s chances of defeating Kamala Harris have increased in six of the seven key swing states, with just three weeks until Election Day.

Gamblers on Polymarket Trump’s favorability over Harris is growing in Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, North Carolina and Wisconsin.

Harris maintains only a narrow lead in battleground Nevada at 51 percent, compared to Trump’s 49 percent in the blue-leaning west coast state.

The outcome of the 2024 presidential election will be determined in the seven swing states in question.

Nationally, Trump has gained 2.5 percent in his chances of defeating Harris.

Polymarket puts the former president’s chances of victory at 56.5 percent, compared to 43.1 percent for the vice president.

The gambling site is partly funded by early Trump backer Peter Thiel.

Vem Miller was a “crazy” for thinking he could show up to a Donald Trump rally with a loaded gun and several other “major red flags,” said the local sheriff who insists he helped thwart a third assassination attempt.

Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco doubled down in an interview with DailyMail.com on what led him to believe Miller could have been planning something nefarious for Trump’s Saturday rally.

The first casualty was an inconvenience that held Donald Trump back for a minute or two while he answered questions mid-flight about housing prices, the border and small businesses.

By the time the second person collapsed in the heat of the crowded exhibit hall, the former president knew he had a problem. A few people at the back of the room were walking towards the exit and he knew he had to stir up the crowd. It was time for plan B.

“Let’s ask no more questions,” Trump told his audience in suburban Philadelphia. “Let’s just listen to music.”

First came Ave Marie, Schubert’s masterpiece that is a favorite at weddings and funerals, while Trump took center stage and looked forward to the middle distance.

Then came Pavarotti and James Brown. And finally, inevitably, the villagers sing ‘YMCA’

Kamala Harris is reportedly in talks with Joe Rogan for an interview on his influential talk show, with critics noting the move is a sign of desperation for the suddenly lagging Democratic candidate.

The Harris-Walz campaign met with the podcast giant’s team this week, three sources familiar with the matter told Reuters.

However, no performance has been confirmed yet. It comes at the same time that Donald Trump says he will already be on Rogan’s show.

“Joe Rogan should hire you, would you?” an excerpt from the “Full Send” podcast posted this weekend shows a host asking the former president.
