2024 Presidential Election

Bill Maher did some speculating Friday night that sent Donald Trump's newest bestie into a rage ... the 'Real Time' host says he has a hunch Trump's banging her.

The 'Real Time' host said Donald Trump may be old, but he's a dog always in search of women, and Bill said there are breadcrumbs of evidence leading him to Laura Loomer -- as he says, she's 31 and Trump's "type."

Well, B.M. noted she's been like white on rice with Trump recently, which then raised a question for him ... "Who's Trump f***ing? Because I said, 'it's not nobody.' He's been a dog for too long. And it's not Melania. I think we may have our answer this week."

A viral pic of a man lugging around 2 geese in Ohio is blowing up after Donald Trump’s bizarre pet-munching Haitian immigrant claims ... but we're told the photo’s just being twisted to fit the former prez's narrative, and what's actually going on is far less dramatic.

The Ohio Division of Wildlife tells TMZ the real deal behind the viral pic -- the guy was actually picking up 2 geese that were hit in a Columbus car accident. And by the way, that's 45 minutes from Springfield, where Trump's wild claims supposedly took place.

The wildlife org clarified to us you usually need a statement or receipt from the county sheriff or wildlife officer to claim an animal carcass. But the Franklin County Wildlife Office tells TMZ that for geese, you don’t always need a receipt ... so the guy was totally in the clear to have them.

People who hate on mail-in ballots are going to be howling at the moon after this one ... 'cause a couple astronauts are casting their votes from the International Space Station.

Barry "Butch" Wilmore and Sunita Williams -- the 2 astronauts who went up to space on the Boeing Starliner, and who are now stuck after safety concerns with their craft arose -- spoke with reporters Friday ... and, they say they still plan on voting.

Wilmore says he sent his request for a ballot down to Earth Friday ... adding that NASA helps all its astronauts secure ballots. Both astronauts touched on how they feel it's their civic duty to cast their votes come the first Tuesday in November.

Donald Trump says there will not be a debate round 3 against Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris.

The 45th POTUS took to his social media platform Truth Social Thursday to address whether he'd go toe-to-toe with his opponent for president again ... equating the current VP to a prizefighter who just lost a huge bout -- who immediately demands a rematch.

DJT says he's the clear winner against "Comrade Kamala Harris" ... saying polls show he won.

Backstreet Boys' AJ McLean is all for celebs diving into politics -- a hot topic seeing as how Taylor Swift’s recent endorsement of Kamala Harris has made quite a powerful impact.

We caught up with the singer at LAX ... and he tells us he believes everyone, including big-name stars, has a right to their own opinion, especially if they use their platform for good, and have a positive message.

He admits he's not one to make grand political statements, but he's not shy about who he's backing -- check out the video to see who’s got his vote!

Wyclef Jean is not amused by Donald Trump's bizarre debate tangent about Haitian immigrants supposedly eating household pets -- and tells TMZ Hip Hop that America needs to strictly focus on the facts this election!!!

Wyclef says, "I will be forever grateful for my family’s life, for having a fair chance to live what is called the 'American Dream.'"

"One of our greatest assets in America is that we are a country of immigrants," Clef says. "I speak from the heart when I say, Haitian people living in the U.S. are good neighbors and good people. We care about humanity. We care about our neighbors."

President Biden and a Donald Trump supporter teased each other before POTUS put on a red MAGA hat ... and there were jokes about Biden's age and Trump's conspiracy theories.

New video from the President's viral moment Wednesday in Pennsylvania shows the build-up to Biden briefly donning a Trump 2024 cap ... and there's lots of playful banter between Biden and a local man.

Biden presents the man with one of his own hats adorned with the presidential seal, and the guy asks POTUS to autograph the hat ... joking, "You remember your name?"

JoJo Siwa has nothing but respect for Taylor Swift after she decided to publicly endorse Kamala Harris for president ... but she isn't ready to follow in her footsteps.

We caught up with the entertainer at LAX after the debates, where the "Dance Moms" alum applauded the pop star for speaking out ... and noted the singer's endorsement will likely have an impact.

As she put it ... "The Swifties rule the world at this point."

Kamala Harris might just have had the last laugh all the way to the White House -- especially if she keeps using that softer laugh she debuted during Tuesday night’s debate ... according to a body language expert.

Tonya Reiman tells TMZ Kamala’s new muted laugh is a sharp departure from her usual high-pitched cackle ... suggesting she was coached to dial it down to win over viewers.

Tonya tells us men in particular usually take offense to a woman’s guffaw, seeing it as off-putting -- so a softer, more refined laugh helps Harris seem more relatable and likable.

Taylor Swift’s influence is making waves in politics, whether Donald Trump likes it or not -- because a nonprofit organization has seen a massive recent surge in people signing up to vote using their online registration tool.

Celina Stewart, CEO of the League of Women Voters, tells TMZ that in the past two days -- which includes Taylor’s Kamala Harris Tuesday night endorsement -- they’ve seen a nearly 100% increase in people using the voter-registration tool on VOTE411.org, a go-to resource for all things election-related.

What’s more, Celina tells us they’ve noticed a big shift in user demographics. On Monday, the biggest age group was 55-to-65-year-olds -- but by Wednesday, the largest group was 18-to-24-year-olds.

J.D. Vance is claiming Taylor Swift's endorsement of Kamala Harris doesn’t carry much weight, because her wealth and high-profile status make her out of touch with the average voter.

In a Fox News appearance Wednesday, Donald Trump's VP pick said despite her star power, folks aren’t going to be influenced by the views of a billionaire celeb ... who he says does not experience the everyday struggles of most Americans.

Taylor signed off her Kamala IG endorsement Tuesday night with "Childless Cat Lady," which probably ruffled Vance's feathers even more.

President Biden broke necks when he put on a red MAGA hat ... but he's not switching teams -- the White House says it was in the spirit of bringing both sides of the aisle together.

POTUS was photographed Wednesday wearing a Donald Trump 2024 lid at a fire station in Shanksville, Pennsylvania ... and it quickly went viral.

White House spokesperson Andrew Bates explained the lead-up to the photo ... saying Biden was speaking about America's bipartisan unity after 9/11 and the need to return to that strength, when he gave a Trump supporter a hat to wear ... and was then given a MAGA hat in exchange.

Taylor Swift isn't the only pop star publicly endorsing Kamala Harris ... Katy Perry stepped out in some merch supporting the Vice President's presidential run Wednesday.

Hours after Taylor Swift announced her endorsement of Harris and Tim Walz's campaign for the White House, the fellow singer stepped out in Manhattan wearing a camo-patterned Harris-Walz hat.

While it's no secret that Katy leans liberal -- she previously shared a video compilation of Harris highlights set to her hit "Woman's World" this summer -- her outing makes it clear she's all in on supporting the Harris-Walz ticket.

Taylor Swift’s endorsement of Kamala Harris is more valuable than any financial donation, says a former Tennessee congressman who’s seen Swift's star power work wonders for his own campaign.

Jim Cooper, who Swift endorsed for the U.S. House of Representatives back in 2018, tells TMZ ... though the star didn’t contribute cash to his campaign, her endorsement was more than worth its weight in gold.

He says it was a massive boost for his election, so he’s confident Kamala will appreciate the push just as much.

Donald Trump is convinced he won Tuesday night's presidential debate against Kamala Harris ... but he's accusing the network that hosted the event of bias.

The former prez called into "Fox & Friends" Wednesday morning, where he ripped into ABC News for holding, what he called, a "rigged" debate.

Check out the vid ... Trump slammed the ABC network for being "dishonest" after debate moderators chose not to correct Harris over one remark -- specifically, Trump took issue with Harris villainizing his use of the phrase "bloodbath," claiming he was referring to the economy -- not endorsing rioting.

Donald Trump and Kamala Harris aren't letting last night's debate jabs get in the way of commemorating lives lost on 9/11 ... the presidential hopefuls kept their composure during Wednesday's memorial ceremony.

Mere hours after 45 and the current Vice President were at each other's throats debating on ABC News, the 2 politicians stepped out for a memorial service at Ground Zero in NYC ... where they honored the nearly 3,000 people who died there in a terrorist attack 23 years ago.

The candidates made it clear the 9/11 tribute is no place for politics ... choosing to keep it civil and share a handshake while posing for pictures.
