## I spent hours trying to persuade US voters to choose Harris not Trump. I know why she lost | Oliver Hall

Authored by theguardian.com

This is what voters told me time and again, and why so many did vote for Trump.

The first type of voter I encountered as a volunteer on the Harris phone bank was the one focused purely on the economy.

Wages may well be rising at all levels, but everyday inflation was more discernible to voters.

Often, they would also tell me that everyone they knew was doing badly, even if they were just fine themselves.

She was as baggage-free as a vice-president could have been, and many voters spoke of how much they admired her.

I started calling voters five weeks ago and especially then, many voters said they didn’t know who Harris was or what she stood for.

Despite the gaffes, despite his views on women, despite his distaste for democracy and despite an insurrection, voters just didn’t care. »

### Federal judge rules Illinois assault weapons ban unconstitutional

Authored by cbsnews.com

CHICAGO (CBS) -- A federal judge in downstate Illinois has ruled the state's ban on assault weapons is unconstitutional, but will hold off on prohibiting the state from enforcing it for one month to allow for a likely appeal. U.S. District Judge Stephen McGlynn, who sits on the federal court in East Saint Louis, wrote in his 168-page opinion that the statewide ban on assault-style weapons violates the Second Amendment.

McGlynn sided with plaintiffs who argued the Illinois assault weapons ban does not fit within the Supreme Court's framework, and who argued that assault weapons are commonly used for self-defense.

Before the case went to trial earlier this year, McGlynn issued a temporary injunction prohibiting Illinois from enforcing the assault weapons ban, but a federal appeals court later reversed that decision. »
