What did President Trump say about potential strikes on Venezuela?
President Trump says the U.S. will not launch strikes on Venezuela. The FBI thwarts a potential Halloween terrorist attack. And the race for New Jersey's governor is now statistically tied. I'm Georgia Howe with Daily Wire executive editor John Bickley. It's Friday, October 31st.
How did the FBI prevent a potential Halloween terrorist attack?
Happy Halloween. And this is Evening Wire. Despite conflicting comments last week, President Trump says he's not considering strikes on Venezuela. Last week, Trump told reporters that, quote, land is going to be next in his efforts to target drug trafficking. But he walked those comments back today when asked about it on Air Force One. When asked if land strikes were imminent, he simply responded, no. This is despite mounting forces being assembled in the Caribbean and ongoing strikes on drug boats. FBI Director Kash Patel revealed Friday morning that the FBI prevented a potentially violent terrorist attack and arrested multiple people. Patel said in a statement, quote, the FBI thwarted a potential terrorist attack and arrested multiple subjects in Michigan who were allegedly plotting a violent attack over Halloween weekend.
A federal judge is forcing the Trump administration's hand in regard to SNAP benefits. U.S. District Judge John McConnell in Rhode Island issued a temporary restraining order Friday, blocking the administration's plan to suspend SNAP benefits, commonly known as food stamps, starting this Saturday. The move came after cities, nonprofits, and a union sued the Department of Agriculture arguing it still had billions in reserve to keep payments flowing. The USDA says it lacks authority to issue aid without a spending bill. But for now, the court's order keeps assistance going for 42 million low-income Americans.
The race for New Jersey governor is now statistically tied in what would be a massive upset for Democrats if Republican Jack Cittarelli pulls it off. A new poll by Insider Advantage in Trafalgar shows Democrat Mikey Sherrill with 45% of the vote and Cittarelli with 44%. An Emerson poll also gives Sherrill just a one-point advantage, well within the margin of error. Here's pollster Matt Towery of Insider Advantage on Fox saying this all comes down to voter turnout.
I got to tell you, the energy is so important in the last four or five days with regard to turnout. Our polls show there were a significant number of independent voters that were undecided. And most of the polls show that the independent voters have been breaking on the Republican side. So if that breaks the way we think it could break, and if the Republicans will make sure they get out and vote, because they are trailing in overall voter turnout in early voting. But if they can get out and turn out big time, this could be the upset that will really move things and put things in position for the upcoming midterms next year.
Meanwhile, Sheryl's position on left-wing gender identity issues is turning heads. The Democrat candidate says she would push for New Jersey classrooms to mandate LGBTQ curriculum with no parental opt-out if she were to become governor. Daily Wire reporter Amanda Prestigiacomo has more.
Cheryl made the comments during a primary debate back in May, but the controversial remarks have since resurfaced in the days leading up to the New Jersey gubernatorial election between Cheryl and Republican Jack Cittarelli on November 4th. Cheryl said that she would push an LGBTQ education into New Jersey schools and said that parents have a right to opt out of a lot of things, but quote, this is not an area where they should be opting out because this is an area of understanding the background of people throughout our nation. Cheryl has also refused to condemn the New Jersey Education Association for its promotion of woke drag culture inside the classroom for state public school educators.
Game of Thrones creator George R.R. Martin won the first battle in his quest to sue OpenAI for copyright infringement. Here with more is Daily Wire Entertainment reporter Amanda Harding.
Earlier this week, a federal judge ruled that a class-action lawsuit against OpenAI can proceed with two additional theories of infringement.
