1. New data reveals voters are shifting to this major political party ahead of heated 2024 rematch:
Fox News – America is split in political party affiliation heading into the 2024 presidential election, seeing one of the most evenly split electorates in the past two decades, resurfaced research reveals.
A Pew Research Center analysis examined voter identification across different ages, races, religions and education levels, comparing how voters identified in 1996 to new data from 2023.
Fifty-one percent of Americans said they identified with the Republican Party in 1994, while 47% identified as Democrats. The tables turned over the years, with 5% more of American voters identifying as Democrats over Republicans in 2020. However, the Pew results from 2023 reveal a significant shift in party affiliation this cycle, reporting that 49% of voters identify as Democrat or leaning Democrat, while 48% identify as Republican or leaning Republican.
Denny’s Insight: Let’s hope this shift translates into legitimate votes!

3. Trump Calls On Arizona Governor, Legislature To ‘Act Immediately’ On Abortion Law:
Daily Wire – Former President Donald Trump took his criticism of Arizona’s reinstated abortion ban a step further on Friday, calling on the state’s Democratic governor and legislature to stop the 160-year-old law from taking effect.
The 1864 law, which the state’s high court ruled could go into effect, protects unborn children from abortion in every circumstance other than when the life of the mother is in danger. Anyone who aids an abortion is punishable by two to five years in prison, according to the law. Trump said in a statement to reporters on Wednesday that he believes the Arizona abortion law goes too far, adding, “That will be straightened out.”
The former president took to his social media platform Truth Social on Friday to call on Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs and state lawmakers “to remedy what has happened” and “act as fast as possible.”
“The Supreme Court in Arizona went too far on their Abortion Ruling, enacting and approving an inappropriate Law from 1864. So now the Governor and the Arizona Legislature must use HEART, COMMON SENSE, and ACT IMMEDIATELY, to remedy what has happened,” Trump wrote. “Remember, it is now up to the States and the Good Will of those that represent THE PEOPLE. We must ideally have the three Exceptions for Rape, Incest, and Life of the Mother. This is important! Democrats are the EXTREMISTS – They support Abortion up to the moment of birth, and even execution of Babies, in some cases, after birth. This should not be. Arizona Legislature, please act as fast as possible!”
