2024 Presidential Election

George Conway’s joining the chorus of folks declaring their take on who won the Kamala Harris - Donald Trump debate last night.

We caught up with the conservative lawyer and anti-Trumper as he left 'Jimmy Kimmel' Tuesday ... offering his opinion on the outcome, and calling out Trump’s bizarre migrants-eating-pets claims.

Conway also comments on Taylor Swift’s endorsement after the debate -- declaring he’s got daughters who are total Swifties.

Taylor Swift wasn't the only megastar to throw her support behind Kamala Harris after Tuesday night's debate ... Caitlin Clark sure seemed to show she's got the VP's back in the race against Donald Trump as well.

Check out Swift's now-famous Instagram post -- Clark put a big ole heart on the love letter to Harris ... suggesting she, too, will be casting her vote for the Democratic Party's nominee in November.

The 22-year-old WNBA phenom hadn't previously indicated which way she'd go.

Dave Portnoy isn't gonna let politics get in the way of his Taylor Swift fandom ... saying despite them being on opposite teams leading up to the election, he's still the "King of the Swifties."

The Barstool Sports founder rushed to social media to react to the pop superstar's recent endorsement of Kamala Harris ... and considering he's a clear Donald Trump supporter, he says a bunch of people were interested in his thoughts.

While Portnoy is one of the most popular and passionate Trump backers, he's going with the "agree to disagree" route when it comes to politics.

Kamala Harris just won the grand prize in her debate with Donald Trump ... because the TV showdown netted the Vice President a crucial endorsement ... from the one and only Taylor Swift.

The singer just announced she's voting for Harris and running mate Tim Walz ... making her allegiances known only minutes after Harris and Trump wrapped their first debate.

Taylor says she watched the debate and recently became aware of her fake AI endorsement of Trump ... so she wanted to be transparent about her plans for the upcoming election.

Donald Trump pushed a wild conspiracy theory about Haitian immigrants eating American pets during Tuesday's debate – prompting Kamala Harris to bust out in laughter onstage.

Trump delivered his bizarre response after ABC News moderator David Muir asked the Republican presidential nominee about why he killed a bill in Congress that would have secured the southern border.

DT began by responding to a previous statement by Kamala about people leaving Trump's rallies early because they're tired of his shtick.

Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are getting personal on the debate stage ... and the fireworks really started when she turned the attention to his campaign rallies.

Vice President Harris went below the belt about half an hour into their first presidential debate Tuesday, ripping Trump's rallies as an exercise in fantasy.

Harris says Trump rallies are a sight to see because he spews pure fiction ... referencing Trump talking about "the late, great Hannibal Lecter" ... and she says even his supporters hit the exits early because they get bored with his spiel.

Donald Trump just can't get over President Biden ... repeatedly attacking him on the debate stage ... even though his opponent is Kamala Harris.

The former president ripped Biden several times during Tuesday's debate against Vice President Harris in Philadelphia, saying Biden's been so absent in the Ukraine war he wonders if POTUS is even alive.

Trump said Democrats threw Biden out of the race "like a dog" after a poor showing in a June debate against Trump ... and he says Biden's since spent his days sleeping or chilling at the beach.

Escorts in Philadelphia are gearing up for a very busy night Tuesday ... and it's all thanks to the presidential debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.

Here's the deal ... TMZ spoke to a number of escorts in the Philly area ... and many confirm their phones have been blowing up all day with would-be clients hoping to book some company.

One of those ladies ... stage name Daisy May ... tells us the debate has been a huge boom for business, likening it to the Super Bowl.

"A lot of out-of-state callers and visitors ... Some hotels were charging as high as $600-$800 per night, those clients have money to spend, and they will spend it on entertainment," she adds.

Melania Trump says the silence around Thomas Matthew Crooks' attempt on her husband Donald Trump's life feels "heavy" ... and she's questioning the circumstances.

In a new X video Tuesday, the former First Lady says her husband's near-death ordeal in July was distressing ... and she’s puzzled why cops didn’t arrest the shooter before Donald’s rally speech, where Crooks nicked his ear with a bullet.

Melania says there's more to the story, and she wants to "uncover the truth" in the brief video ... which promotes her new memoir, "Melania."

Donald Trump wasn't always the very public controversial figure he is today ... at one point, he was merely lawyer Roy Cohn's apprentice, learning a never-quit attitude.

This is the viewpoint "The Apprentice" takes in the first trailer for the highly publicized biopic about the former prez's early days in NYC.

Check it out ... Sebastian Stan stars as a young Trump, who is hungry and eager to learn from Jeremy Strong's Cohn.

Alex Jones is well known for his nutty conspiracy theories ... but his latest one about Kamala Harris is completely outrageous.

Jones predicted on his far-right wing "Infowars" broadcast Harris will take ... wait for it ... hallucinogenic drugs before her Tuesday debate against Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.

Specifically, Jones said Harris -- the Democratic presidential candidate -- will be "bombed out of her gourd" on molly, a synthetic drug that alters your mood and perception and creates health risks.

Bill Maher spared no one Friday night, labeling Donald Trump as icky, but then spraying the left with the same label.

The 'Real Time' host zeroed in on the reaction to RFK Jr. throwing his support behind Trump, but it wasn't the reaction to Bobby that rankled Bill ... it was the reaction to his wife, Cheryl Hines.

Cheryl took a barrage of incoming from folks on social media ... notably, "West Wing" star Bradley Whitford, who tweeted this ... "Hey cherylhines, way to stay silent while your lunatic husband throws his support behind an adjudicated rapist who brags about stripping women of their fundamental rights. Great example for the kids. Profile in courage."

Dana Bash says you'd better tune into Debate #2 next week ... 'cause it's going to matter a lot as the 2024 presidential election creeps closer -- especially to younger voters.

The CNN host chatted with Harvey and Charles on "TMZ Live" Friday ... and, while some people aren't convinced this debate's going to matter in the long run, Dana says it'll give some undecided voters a chance to really get a sense of who these candidates are.

Dana knows Donald Trump's performance may not sway his standing with voters ... but, she notes some younger voters may not remember his first term as president -- and, this debate may give them greater clarity on the kind of president he'll be.

A noted history professor with a 40-year track record of successfully predicting presidential election outcomes has revealed who he thinks will win in November.

Allan Lichtman, dubbed the "Nostradamus" of U.S. elections for his flawless prognostications, used his tried-and-true model -- which skips the polls and pundits -- and he's concluded it'll be Kamala Harris who'll emerge the victor this year.

Using his offbeat model since 1981, Lichtman's the guy who called Republican nominee Donald Trump's shocker in 2016, and Biden's 2020 win.

Liz Cheney's not sitting on the sidelines for this election ... telling a seminar at Duke University she's not just not voting for Donald Trump -- she's throwing her support to Kamala Harris.

The former congresswoman sat down for a discussion called "Defending Democracy: A Conversation with Liz Cheney" Wednesday evening ... and in it, she once again touched on the danger she thinks Trump poses to democracy.

LC says DJT poses such a danger, people in swing states can't vote for random write-in candidates either ... they need to cast a vote that actually matters.

12:19 PM PT -- Local authorities are currently looking for more information on the fake ads ... with the Philadelphia District Attorney's Office telling TMZ Sports it is investigating the matter.

Vice President Kamala Harris seemingly received a massive endorsement Monday ... with political ads dubbing her the official presidential candidate of the Philadelphia Eagles popping up around the city.

The only problem?? The team didn't approve the ad ... nor has it endorsed any presidential candidate -- and the city is now working on having all the posters removed.

The ads -- which displayed Harris in an Eagles helmet and holding a football -- were displayed at bus stops owned by Intersection Media ... leading to the company to issue a statement denying their legitimacy.
