The Biden-Harris administration has a major problem on their hands, and it's likely to get worse ahead of Election Day.

If you love reading the Daily Caller, [please consider joining us today.]( REAL BIG NEWS Andrew Harnik / Staff / Getty Kamala Harris Races Against Ticking Time Bomb That Might Blow Up In November Daily Caller columnist Mary Rooke has the[details]( on the brewing Medicare scandal within the Biden-Harris administration and how it could completely backfire in November: The Biden-Harris administration touted the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) as the end of the U.S.'s inflation woes. It was supposed to help with several economic issues, including capping out-of-pocket drug costs for Medicare beneficiaries. However, Medicare beneficiaries will see significant hikes in their monthly premiums to compensate for the profit loss from the mandatory cap on out-of-pocket drug costs. The last thing Harris needs during an election year is for millions of Americans to have increased monthly costs (with average bids for Part D plans expected to triple) after she voted to pass the IRA using her tie-breaking vote in the Senate. To keep premiums artificially low and help Harris avoid "potential voter backlash," the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) announced on July 30 that it would be subsidizing the premiums with taxpayer monies, Fox News reported. CMS enacted the "demonstration project," which will increase the taxpayer burden "from $30 per recipient per month in 2024 to $142.70 in 2025," according to Fox. Critics told the outlet the move will likely not "survive legal scrutiny," but that won't matter because Harris just needs the premiums to stay low long enough to make it to the Nov. 5 election to avoid voter scrutiny from the over 67 million Americans enrolled in Medicare programs. "They've destroyed part D premiums," former President Trump advisor Joe Grogan told Fox News Digital in an interview. "I'm not sure it'll survive legal scrutiny if someone were to sue. Objectively, it shouldn't be done. It's just interjecting $5-10 billion of taxpayer dollars while the taxpayers are paying the price 85 days before an election. It's sickening." "This is only going to get worse in 2025, 2026," Grogan continued. "The program is in a death spiral. They announced a three-year demo. It's already broken. The demo is going to fail. Premiums are still going to go up." Harris hopes the millions of American Medicare beneficiaries won't see or understand that the taxpayer subsidies keeping their costs low are only temporary. She wants to keep the bleeding at a minimum to keep her campaign afloat, but the move doesn't fix the massive problems in our social benefits system. It only exacerbates a problem that won't matter to her once the election is over and she's won. But it's going to matter a great deal to Americans who are already suffering under her administration's economic policies. More[here](. HOT OFF THE PRESS [Photo Credit: Daily Caller | Rodger Roundy] GOP Chases Normies: The Democratic Party is certainly no longer the party of the average, law-abiding working stiff in America: it's really a party dominated by elite coastal liberals, Wall Street billionaires, illegal migrants and tech employees.

Kamala's Fake News Stunt: Democrats achieved a new level of dystopian this week when Kamala Harris' campaign was caught red-handed[paying Google to deliver fake news]( to voters via ads. For days, the Harris campaign edited headlines and descriptions of almost a dozen outlets' articles found through Google search advertisements to appear as search ads from the campaign itself.

Fake News Backfire: Well, well, well. It appears Kamala's campaign really pissed off a local news station. WDAY Radio in Fargo, North Dakota, is[considering legal action]( after the Harris campaign deceptively edited their headlines to make it look like they supported her in an ad campaign, its president told the Daily Caller. “We feel insulted and violated by what was done here,” Steve Hallstrom, the President and Managing Partner of Flag Family Media, which owns WDAY Radio, told the Caller.

Rooke with the details: Despite the media-manufactured momentum Vice President Kamala Harris's campaign is receiving, CNN had to tell their viewers that former President Donald Trump is still not only in the race but could win in November. CNN senior data reporter Harry Enten broke down the realities of the 2024 presidential race, warning Harris's supporters not to "rip open the champagne bottle" because the battle is far from over.
