Good morning, and welcome to RedState’s “Morning Minute” — a brief glimpse at which stories are trending at the moment and a look ahead at what the day may bring. Consider this your one-stop shop for news to kickstart your day.
TOP O’ THE MORNIN’
Megyn Kelly Endorses Trump in Pennsylvania; CNN’s Dana Bash Shows Her Claws
CNN’s Dana Bash looked none too pleased when her producers informed her that Kelly was slated to speak at the Trump rally, referring to her as, “Megyn Kelly of the blood coming out of wherever, fame. Interesting turn of events…” as she angrily shuffled her faux news pages.
Panic: CNN Panelist Says Margins ‘Don’t Add Up Right Now for the Democrats’ in ANY Battleground States
“Republicans do have an advantage in early vote numbers,” Messina continued. “When the early votes come in, it’s going to look a little bit different than 2020, and that’s scary.”
Joe Rogan Wrecks John Fetterman in Border Debate, Leaves Him Sputtering
I pray for regime change Tuesday, and one of the main reasons we need to get rid of this extremist administration is their total dereliction of duty at the border. Even if John Fetterman isn’t the complete wild-eyed leftist that many of us thought he was, he’s still at heart a progressive Democrat, and Rogan is on target for holding his feet to the fire.
WHAT’S ON TAP?
Today on Capitol Hill…
Yada, yada — they’re all out voting and encouraging others to vote. As it stands this morning, the U.S. Senate boasts a Democrat 51-49 majority. Will it flip? Signs point to yes — we should have a pretty good idea by this time Wednesday. The U.S. House boasts a Republican 220-212 majority with three vacancies. Will it hold? This one may be tougher to tell by Wednesday morning, but we’ll certainly be keeping tabs on it. Join us here at RedState for full coverage — all day and all night.

White House What’s Up
President Joe Biden (remember him?) is taking it easy on Election Day — not a thing on his schedule aside from the Daily Brief.
The Homestretch
It’s all over, but the crying (hopefully for the Dems) now. Late last night — or, really, early this morning, shortly after 2:00 am — former President Donald Trump closed out his final campaign rally with his signature dance moves. Surely bittersweet for the man who loves to rally. Let’s hope there’s reason to dance some more late Tuesday night/early Wednesday morning.
It’s after *2 AM* and President Trump just turned his final rally into a dance party 🤣
He just spent SEVERAL minutes dancing with the amped crowd.

On a related note, it occurs to me that this section of my Morning Minutes will go dormant after today. Awww.
Full Court Press…
In a year full of crazy twists and turns, it would somehow be fitting if the New York appellate court opted to hand down its decision in the appeal of Trump’s civil fraud case this morning. We’ll be watching.
We’ll also, of course, be keeping tabs on the numerous legal developments on the election front today.
MORNING MUSING
Not gonna lie — I’m feeling a touch verklempt this morning as I write this. It’s raining cats and dogs here in eastern Missouri (no reports of them being eaten, however), and I’m so very glad I took advantage of the early voting option this year. So did many of my fellow Missourians, so I expect our overall turnout will be good. There’s no doubt we’ll go red. I’m predicting a Trump win by — I’ll be bold here — 18-20 points here in the Show-Me State. Josh Hawley will hold his Senate seat by a comfortable 12-15 points. Our statewide offices will all go/stay red. The one thing that has me nervous is Amendment 3 (the abortion measure). Pray with me that it doesn’t pass. It’s strange to realize the next musing I share will look quite different. Get out and vote if you haven’t already. We need you.
