Overview

• Promoting her memoir '107 Days,' Kamala Harris said the 2024 race was the closest presidential election of the 21st century during recent media appearances.
• Reporting that cited The Daily Beast found the claim inaccurate, noting the 2024 Electoral College margin ranked only fifth-smallest and the popular-vote gap exceeded that of 2000.
• President Trump condemned the remark on Truth Social as a "total lie," demanded an apology, and repeated disputed assertions about his 2024 results, including unsubstantiated claims about California mail-in voting.
• Harris also argued that major companies yielded to political pressure, pointing to Disney’s brief removal of Jimmy Kimmel’s show and warnings from FCC chair Brendan Carr as examples.
• Disney has since restored Kimmel’s program to strong viewership while some local affiliates kept it off the air, and Harris’s office had not issued a response to Trump’s demand according to the reports.
