UNITED STATES

Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign released a new digital advertisement that targets Black men’s love lives, insinuating that they will be rejected by women if they don’t have a plan to vote.The ads depict a dating game in which a Black man approaches a group of women who are holding balloons. They begin to ask him questions about himself, including how much he makes, how tall he is and whether he works out.The man’s answers get seemingly positive responses from the women, until one asks him if he has a plan to vote in November.”Nah, not my thing,” the man says, prompting all the women in the scene to pop their balloons.”Vote. Election Day is Nov 5,” reads a message at the end of the ad alongside a Harris-Walz campaign logo.BLACK GROUP FIRES BACK AT OBAMA FOR ‘INSULTING’ HARRIS PITCH: ‘WORST KIND OF IDENTITY POLITICS'”New Harris/Walz ad tells black men that women will reject them if they don’t vote,” Center for the Study of Partisanship and Ideology President Richard Hanania remarked in a post on X along with a video of the ad. “Memorable and works as an appeal to self-interest.”But not all users were sold on the content of the ad, with some arguing that the ad only served to “insult” and “dehumanize” Black men.”Democrats continue to dehumanize and insult black men and try to shame and pressure them into only voting for them,” one user wrote. “Kamala campaign doesn’t even try to engage respectfully.””Does the Harris Walz team really believe this will convince anyone to vote for them?” asked another.”Belittling and insulting,” another user added.”I think this might have the opposite effect,” one user quipped.‘AUTO WORKERS FOR TRUMP’ LEADER SAYS THOUSANDS POISED TO BREAK FROM DEMS OVER GREEN POLICIES, JOB KILLING REGSThe ad comes as some have begun to speculate that Harris is struggling to win over the support of young Black men, a typically dependable demographic of voters for Democrats.According to one Howard University Initiative on Public Opinion poll, 81% of Black men say they plan to vote for Harris, though that number drops to 68% for Black men under 50 years old, with 21% of that group indicating they plan to support former President Trump.Former President Barack Obama has also joined in on the recent appeal to Black men, arguing at a rally in Pennsylvania earlier this month that the group should have the same enthusiasm for Harris as they did for his campaigns in 2008 and 2012.”My understanding, based on reports I’m getting from campaigns and communities, is that we have not yet seen the same kinds of energy and turnout in all quarters of our neighborhoods and communities as we saw when I was running,” Obama said at the time, adding that the lack of enthusiasm “seems to be more pronounced with the brothers” and that they might not want to support a female president.”And you are thinking about sitting out?” he said. “Part of it makes me think – and I’m speaking to men directly – part of it makes me think that, well, you just aren’t feeling the idea of having a woman as president, and you’re coming up with other alternatives and other reasons for that.”The Harris campaign did not immediately respond to a Fox News Digital request for comment.Get the latest updates from the 2024 campaign trail, exclusive interviews and more at our Fox News Digital election hub.

U.S. Naval officials confirmed Sunday that the two crew members of a Navy jet that crashed near Mount Rainier in Washington last week were located and declared dead.The EA-18G Growler jet from the Electronic Attack Squadron out of Whidbey Island Naval Air Station crashed on a mountainside east of Mount Rainier on Tuesday afternoon. While the wreckage of the plane was located resting about 6,000 feet up in a remote, steep and heavily-wooded area, the status of the crew remained unknown without a site assessment of the debris area.Army Special Forces soldiers trained in mountaineering, high-angle rescue, medical and technical communication skills needed to navigate the difficult terrain assisted with efforts to locate the missing crew members as quickly as possible.On Sunday, the Navy said Electronic Attack Wing Pacific shifted from search and rescue efforts to recovery operations, noting that the two missing crew members had been located and were pronounced dead.NAVY JET LOCATED AFTER CRASHING NEAR MOUNT RAINIER IN WASHINGTON”It is with a heavy heart that we share the loss of two beloved Zappers,” Commander Timothy Warburton, commanding officer of Electronic Attack Squadron (VAQ) 130 said on Sunday. “Our priority right now is taking care of the families of our fallen aviators and ensuring the well-being of our Sailors and the Growler community. We are grateful for the ongoing teamwork to safely recover the deceased.In a press release, the Navy said out of respect for the families and in accordance with Navy policy, the identities of the crew members would be withheld for 24 hours after next of kin have been notified.Personnel will remain on site to recover debris and plan for the long-term salvage and recovery efforts, the Navy noted.NAVY PARACHUTIST CRASH-LANDS ON MOTHER AND TEENAGER DURING SAN FRANCISCO PERFORMANCE: VIDEOThe Navy added that the investigation into the cause of the crash is ongoing.The EA-18G is a variant of the F/A-18 family of aircraft, outfitted with a sophisticated electronic warfare suite that is used for tactical jamming and electronic protection, according to the Navy’s website. The jet was built to replace the EA-6B Prowler, and first went into production in October 2004.The jet made its inaugural flight in August 2006, and the first delivery of the aircraft was made on June 3, 2008, to VAQ 129 at NAS Whidbey Island.Each plane comes with a price tag of $67 million.

MetLife Stadium may not be Saquon Barkley’s home anymore, but it sure didn’t seem that way in the Philadelphia Eagles’ blowout win on the road over the New York Giants. Barkley went into this week not believing Giants fans, the ones who used to shower him with cheers, would boo him. But the reception didn’t matter, as Barkley silenced Giants fans and had Eagles fans jumping for joy after having his best game in his new uniform to date with 176 rushing yards and a touchdown in the 28-3 rout. Barkley only needed 17 rush attempts to torch his old teammates, breaking out chunk yardage runs, including a game-high 55 yards to ultimately set up his three-yard score in the second quarter. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMThe Eagles as a team rushed for 270 yards, with Kenneth Gainwell going for 56 yards on 13 touches, while quarterback Jalen Hurts had 22 yards as well. Hurts didn’t need to pass much in this game, going just 10-for-14 for 114 yards. But he did find A.J. Brown down the left sideline for a perfect 41-yard touchdown strike to put the Eagles up 14-0. The play also came on fourth-and-3, when the Giants, who were getting pressure on Hurts early, couldn’t get him down this time. EX-GIANTS LINEMAN UNDERSTANDS HOW FANS FEEL AS SAQUON BARKLEY THRIVES WITH EAGLES: ‘MVP OF THE NFL RIGHT NOW’Speaking of the Giants, the scoreboard says it all for the offense, as it couldn’t get a single thing going against an Eagles defense that was disrupting Daniel Jones the entire game. Jones was eventually benched in the second half in favor of Drew Lock, though it’s unknown at the moment if head coach Brian Daboll did so because it was a blowout or due to his poor performance. Jones threw for 99 yards on 14-for-21 through the air, while getting sacked eight times with his offensive line not holding up in the slightest. The Eagles exploited Josh Ezeudu playing left tackle for Andrew Thomas, who is out for the rest of the season after undergoing foot surgery. As a team, the Giants had just 119 yards of offense, while the Eagles posted 339 on the day. Giants owner John Mara said he would have a hard time sleeping if Barkley, the player his team took out of Penn State with the No. 2 overall pick in 2018, went to the Eagles. After what Barkley produced in this game, it’s easy to see why he had that thought process.   Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

Former President Donald Trump took on a new role as he cooked and served french fries to customers at a Philadelphia McDonald’s on Sunday afternoon, while dishing out plenty of jabs at Vice President Kamala Harris.Thousands of Trump supporters surrounded the McDonald’s restaurant as Trump spent the afternoon working as a fry cook after accusing Harris of lying about working at the fast food restaurant.”I’ve now worked for 15 minutes more than Kamala at McDonald’s,” Trump said through the drive-thru window as he handed out orders. “I’ve really wanted to do this all my life. And now I’m going to do it because she didn’t do it,” Trump continued. TRUMP ASKS PENNSYLVANIA CROWD, ‘ARE YOU BETTER OFF NOW THAN YOU WERE FOUR YEARS AGO?’Trump claimed he also spoke with McDonald’s about Harris’ claims that she worked at the fast-food chain.”She shouldn’t lie about it. McDonald’s confirmed four times that she never worked here. But, let’s not talk about that. It’s an amazing business. It’s an amazing country. And we’re going to make America greater than ever before,” Trump said. Trump donned an apron and cooked fries while talking to reporters about his call with the Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, raising the minimum wage, what it was like working at McDonald’s, and even wishing Kamala Harris a happy birthday. FORMER NFL STAR ANTONIO BROWN SLAMS HARRIS, SAYS ‘TAMPON TIM’ WALZ WASN’T A REAL FOOTBALL COACH AT TRUMP RALLYFox News Digital’s Brooke Singman joined Trump during his shift and said he was in great spirits and was actually doing the cooking and giving customers their orders. “I love McDonald’s, I love jobs, I like to see good jobs. And I think it’s inappropriate when somebody puts down all over the place that you work. Think that was a big part of her resume and that you worked at McDonald’s,” Trump said. Trump smiled and continued to cook fries and hand out orders to customers while praising the manager and promising to make America better if he was elected president again.”Look how happy everybody is. They’re happy because they want hope. They need hope and that’s what we’re doing is going to give much more than hope you’re going to make. We’re going to take hope and make it back,” Trump said.

ABC News’ Martha Raddatz questioned three Democratic governors on Sunday about why Democrats have lost ground in states that were once considered “guaranteed” victories for the Democratic candidate.”Look at the polls. I mean, just a couple of elections ago, this blue wall was almost guaranteed for Democrats. I know you’ve seen enthusiasm. I know you’re working hard, but the polls really aren’t showing it. Who did the Democrats lose over these years?” Raddatz asked. The ABC News host sat down with Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro and Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers to discuss the state of the election in their home states, which are seen as must-win states for Harris. Trump won Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan in 2016 and was the first Republican presidential candidate to do so since 1992. However, President Biden won the three states back in 2020.”I think if you even go back eight years, all three of our states went for Donald Trump, and then all three of us were elected and re-elected, and this is, I think, you don’t win a state like Michigan by 11 points without a lot of people coming over, Independents and Republicans, and that’s part of our missive. As we have been to Wisconsin and Michigan, and now here in Pennsylvania, there’s a seat at the table for everyone. We understand that there are Republicans out there who are lamenting that Donald Trump is their nominee. They’re not sure about our agenda. We’re making a seat at the table for them. We are not writing anyone off,” Whitmer replied. HARRIS AND TRUMP TRADE FIRE IN BATTLE FOR THE BLUE WALL STATES Raddatz pressed again, “It is razor-thin, and some of the averages, they see Trump making it.””I know you’re saying you have faith in these voters and they understand what they saw in Donald Trump years ago, but the polls just aren’t showing it,” Raddatz added.Whitmer said she wasn’t surprised by the close polls and argued, “we’re not scared.””We’re determined to make sure we do everything in our power to win this thing, and while this is going to be close, I would much rather be playing our hand than theirs. We’ve got a better candidate. We’ve got receipts on issues that matter to the American people, on the economy, individual rights, affordable housing, etc., and we’ve got a better ground game. We’re going to do the work,” Whitmer said.CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTURERaddatz asked Evers about why voters might still be undecided in this election.”It is hard to believe that people are still undecided at this point. They know who Donald Trump is. They know what he has done. They saw the Biden administration, and many of them are not happy with it and tying Kamala Harris in there. So is this an election where it’s not so much in this ground game going after the undecided but the unenthused?” Raddatz asked.Evers said there’s plenty of enthusiasm, and argued it did come down to undecided voters. “There are people that frankly don’t follow this on a daily basis. There’s people that don’t follow the polls. There’s people that just don’t, you know, they go to work. They got kids at home. They do a good job with their kids, and they get up the next day. The polls look at a small number,” Evers responded.
