US Election 2024 Live Updates: CNN poll shows Harris up in Wisconsin and Michigan, tied with Trump in Pennsylvania

US Vice President Kamala Harris has a marginal edge over Republican rival Donald Trump in Michigan and Wisconsin but the two candidates are tied in Pennsylvania less than a week before the Nov. 5 election, a new CNN poll showed on Wednesday.

Democrat Harris leads Trump by 48% to 43% among likely voters in Michigan and by 51% to 45% in Wisconsin, two of three battleground states nicknamed the "blue wall" after helping President Joe Biden defeat Trump in 2020.

In the third "blue wall" state, Pennsylvania, the CNN poll showed Harris and Trump tied at 48%. Pennsylvania's 19 electoral votes make it among the bigger prizes in the battle for the White House.

Interviews were conducted Oct. 23-28 online and by telephone with 726 likely voters in Michigan, 819 in Pennsylvania and 736 in Wisconsin, CNN said. The margin of error was plus or minus 5 percentage points, it said.

US Election 2024 Live Updates: Kamala Harris warns of dangers of another Trump presidency in a speech at January 6 site

Democrat Kamala Harris warned tens of thousands of people gathered in Washington at her biggest-ever rally that her Republican opponent Donald Trump was seeking unchecked power as their race for the presidency entered its final week.

Harris spoke on Tuesday evening to an outdoor rally estimated by her campaign to number more than 75,000 people at the spot near the White House where on January 6, 2021, Trump addressed his supporters before they attacked the US Capitol.

"We know who Donald Trump is," Harris said. She said the then-president sent an armed mob to the US Capitol to try to overturn his loss in the 2020 presidential election.

"This is someone who is unstable, obsessed with revenge, consumed with grievance and out for unchecked power," Harris said during what her campaign called her closing argument before a tightly contested November 5 election.

Harris was flanked by American flags on stage and surrounded by blue and white banners that said "FREEDOM" with a well-lit White House behind her.

The crowd included older people and college students, people from overseas, from New York and from nearby Virginia. Many women came in groups with other female friends.

US Election 2024 Live Updates: Harris promises to 'represent all Americans' after Biden's remark on Trump supporters and 'garbage'

Kamala Harris said she disagrees “with any criticism of people based on who they vote for,” reacting after President Joe Biden's reference to Donald Trump's supporters and “garbage.”

“I will represent all Americans, including those who don’t vote for me," the vice president said.

Harris, the Democratic nominee for president, made the comment to reporters as she prepared to campaign in three states. Her words were an attempt to blunt the controversy over Biden's rhetoric with less than a week until the end of the campaign.

US Election 2024 Live Updates: Harris, in Washington speech, says Trump seeks 'unchecked power'

Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris warned Tuesday that Donald Trump was seeking "unchecked power," in a major election speech at the site where her rival riled up crowds before the 2021 attack on the US Capitol.

"America, this is not a candidate for president who is thinking about how to make your life better. This is someone who is unstable, obsessed with revenge, consumed with grievance and out for unchecked power," Harris told supporters near the White House in Washington.

US Election 2024 Live Updates: US President Biden calls Trump supporters garbage, sparks Republican backlash

US President Joe Biden sparked a controversy when he compared supporters of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump to garbage. Biden was commenting on a racist joke a comedian made at a Trump rally days earlier likening Puerto Rico to an "island of garbage."

"The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters, his demonisation of Latinos is unconscionable, and it's un-American. It's totally contrary to everything we've done, everything we've been," Biden said in his remarks on a campaign call for Latino voters on Tuesday.

"Just the other day, a speaker at his rally called Puerto Rico a "floating island of garbage." Well, let me tell you something. I don't know the Puerto Rican that -- that I know -- or a Puerto Rico, where I'm fr- -- in my home state of Delaware, they're good, decent, honourable people," he said.

Republican Senator Marco Rubio raised this issue in front of thousands of Trump supporters in Allentown, Pennsylvania.

Trump, the former president, was also quick to condemn it.

US Election 2024 Live Updates: China implies Trump could 'discard' Taiwan

China's government on Wednesday implied that if Donald Trump wins the US presidential election he could 'discard' Taiwan given the country's policy has always been "America first".

Trump, the Republican candidate who is neck and neck in the polls with Vice President Kamala Harris, has made several comments on the campaign trail saying Chinese-claimed Taiwan should pay to be protected and accusing the island of stealing American semiconductor business.

Asked about Trump's remarks earlier this month where said he would impose additional, massive tariffs on China if China were to "go into Taiwan" and remarks on Taiwan having to pay for protection, a spokesperson for China's Taiwan Affairs Office said Taiwan's people had a clear understanding of US policy.

"Whether the United States is trying to protect or harm Taiwan, I believe most of our Taiwan compatriots have already made a rational judgement and know very clearly that what the United States pursues is always America first," Zhu Fenglian told a regular news briefing, referring to a common expression Trump uses about prioritising US interests.

Taiwan's people know that "Taiwan at any time may turn from a pawn to a discarded child", she added, without directly using Trump's name.

The United States is bound by law to provide Taiwan with the means to defend itself even in the absence of formal diplomatic ties between Washington and Taipei.

Trump, in a weekend interview on "The Joe Rogan Experience" podcast, repeated his claims about Taiwan "stealing" US chip business and needing to pay to be protected.

Taiwan Economy Minister Kuo Jyh-huei told reporters in Taipei on Wednesday he would not be commenting given the US election campaign was ongoing.

"I wish the United States well for a successful democratic election," he added.

Taiwan received strong backing from Trump's 2017-2021 administration, including arms sales, which have continued under the government of President Joe Biden.

Taiwan's democratically elected government rejects Beijing's sovereignty claims, saying only the island's people can decide their future.

US Election 2024 Live Updates: Harris urges voters to reject Trump’s efforts to sow division and fear

Kamala Harris stood before an overflowing crowd near the White House on Tuesday and promised Americans she would fight for them every day as she urged voters to reject Donald Trump’s efforts to sow division and fear, declaring, “It doesn’t have to be this way.”

One week out from Election Day, the vice president tried to drive home the contrast with Trump by delivering her closing argument from the same spot on the grassy Ellipse where the Republican former president had fomented the Capitol insurrection in 2021, pledging that she would work to improve people's lives while arguing that her Republican opponent is only in it for himself.

“I’ll be honest with you: I’m not perfect,” she said. “I make mistakes. But here’s what I promise you: I will always listen to you, even if you don’t vote for me. I will always tell you the truth, even if it’s hard to hear. I will work every day to build consensus and reach compromise to get things done. And if you give me the chance to fight on your behalf, there is nothing in the world that will stand in my way.”

US Presidential Election 2024: Jennifer Lopez to rally with Kamala Harris in Las Vegas

Jennifer Lopez will join Vice President Kamala Harris at the 'When We Vote We Win' rally in Las Vegas on Thursday, October 31, in a highly anticipated event.

As per Deadline, the gathering aims to galvanize voter participation as the election date draws near.

Lopez is set to address the crowd about the critical importance of voting and the implications of the upcoming election for the nation.

She will also share her endorsement of both Harris and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, emphasizing the significance of their leadership.

The event is part of a broader campaign initiative to encourage voter turnout as early voting in Nevada wraps up on November 1, just days before Election Day, as per Deadline.

Adding to the excitement, the iconic band Mana will perform at the rally, enhancing the star-studded atmosphere.

In the days leading up to the event, Lopez took to her Instagram story to highlight Harris's commitment to revitalizing Puerto Rico's economy and energy infrastructure.

This comes in the wake of controversy ignited by comedian Tony Hinchliffe's derogatory remarks about Puerto Rico during a recent rally for Donald Trump, which was met with outrage from many artists, including Lopez.

Puerto Rican music icons such as Bad Bunny and Ricky Martin have also voiced their support for Harris.

In a video, Bad Bunny stated, "I will never forget what Donald Trump did, and what he did not do when Puerto Rico needed a caring and a competent leader. He abandoned the island, tried to block aid after back-to-back devastating hurricanes and offered nothing more than paper towels and insults," as per Deadline.

Ricky Martin further condemned Hinchliffe's comments on his own social media, illustrating the unity among Puerto Rican artists in the face of disrespect. Luis Fonsi joined in as well, calling attention to the ongoing issues and the need for change.

US Presidential Election 2024: Former Republican congressional candidate faces charges in Indiana ballot theft case

Larry Savage, a former Republican congressional candidate from Indiana, faces charges for allegedly stealing ballots during a recent test of Madison County’s voting system, according to state police.

The incident, which took place on Oct 3, involved testing four voting machines with 136 ballots marked specifically for this purpose. During the process, two ballots went missing, prompting an investigation that ultimately led to Savage, a precinct committeeman.

Surveillance footage reportedly showed Savage, 51, pocketing two ballots after being briefed on the validity of the test ballots. Following the discovery, police executed a search warrant and found the ballots in Savage's vehicle. He now faces charges of ballot theft and tampering, although he maintains his innocence, describing the charges as “bumped up.”

The case surfaces as heightened scrutiny around electoral security continues, spurred in part by former President Donald Trump’s ongoing claims of 2020 election fraud, a stance widely disputed in court. Indiana’s Republican Party, represented by communications director Griffin Reid, condemned the alleged actions, calling for justice.

Savage, who ran unsuccessfully in the GOP primary for Indiana’s Fifth Congressional District, was released on bond after turning himself in.

US Presidential Elections 2024: Supreme Court rejects RFK Jr's bid to withdraw from ballots in key Swing States

The US Supreme Court has denied a request by Robert F Kennedy Jr, a former independent presidential candidate now supporting Donald Trump, to be removed from the ballot in Wisconsin and Michigan for the upcoming November 5 election.

Kennedy, who previously suspended his campaign and endorsed Trump, had urged his supporters to back the former president, particularly in crucial battleground states.

Conservative Justice Neil Gorsuch dissented from the decision regarding Michigan's ballot, though no other justice publicly joined him. Kennedy’s legal team argued that forcing him to remain on the ballot violates his First Amendment rights, asserting that state authorities should not compel his candidacy against his wishes.

Kennedy has been embroiled in similar ballot-related disputes across several states. Both Michigan and Wisconsin officials refused his requests for withdrawal, citing election laws. Wisconsin’s Election Commission noted that once a candidate has qualified for the ballot, state law does not permit withdrawal. In Michigan, Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson and the Michigan Supreme Court also ruled against his withdrawal.

The 6th US Circuit Court of Appeals, in a separate decision, affirmed that reversing his placement on the ballot at this late stage could disrupt fair election administration and impact voting rights, given that ballots had already been printed.

This latest ruling underscores the high stakes of the November election, particularly in closely contested states like Michigan and Wisconsin, where even minor shifts could influence the outcome.

Kennedy’s ongoing legal battles and alignment with Trump have added an unusual dynamic, as his endorsement is seen as potentially swaying voters in these crucial swing states.

US Presidential Elections 2024: Biden faces backlash over remarks on Trump supporters, drawing parallels to Clinton's 'Deplorables' comment

President Joe Biden is facing significant criticism following his remarks condemning a comedian’s insult against Puerto Rico at a Trump rally.

Responding to the comment, Biden said, “The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters,” a statement that Republicans swiftly condemned as an insult to Trump’s entire MAGA base. The White House later clarified, with spokesperson Andrew Bates explaining that Biden’s “garbage” remark targeted hateful rhetoric, not individuals.

Despite the clarification, Biden’s comment stirred memories of Hillary Clinton’s 2016 “basket of deplorables” remark, widely regarded by Trump supporters as a symbol of perceived Democratic elitism. Trump’s campaign seized on Biden’s words, with National Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt arguing that Biden had dismissed various communities, including “Latinos, Black voters, union workers, and law enforcement officers,” as “garbage.” Former GOP candidate Vivek Ramaswamy even dubbed it the “2024 version of deplorables.”

In an effort to clarify, Biden posted on X, saying he had referred specifically to “hateful rhetoric” as “garbage.” However, his post did little to stem the wave of criticism from Trump allies and supporters.

The response on social media was rapid, with many MAGA supporters contending that Biden’s comment eclipsed Vice President Kamala Harris’s message of unity, delivered in a speech the same day.

US Presidential Elections 2024: 'Only garbage I see...', President Biden slams Trump supporters over racist remarks

President Joe Biden criticised Donald Trump's supporters on Tuesday in response to the Republican presidential nominee's rally at Madison Square Garden, which was marred by offensive and racist comments.

During a call organized by the Hispanic advocacy group Voto Latino, Biden reacted to a speaker at Trump's rally who referred to Puerto Rico as a “floating island of garbage.”

“Just recently, a speaker at his rally labeled Puerto Rico a floating island of garbage. Well, let me tell you something, I don’t, I don’t recognize the Puerto Rican community that I know from my home state of Delaware. They are good, decent, honorable individuals,” he stated.

The president further remarked: “The only garbage I see out there is among his supporters. His vilification of Latinos is unacceptable and un-American. It goes completely against everything we’ve achieved, everything we’ve represented.”

White House spokesperson Andrew Bates confirmed that Biden referred to the hateful comments made at the rally as ‘garbage.’

Biden later used social media to clarify his previous statement.

“Earlier today, I described the hateful remarks about Puerto Rico made by Trump’s supporter at his Madison Square Garden rally as garbage — which is the only term I could use to describe it,” he posted on X. “His vilification of Latinos is unacceptable. That’s what I intended to convey. The comments made at that rally do not reflect who we are as a country.”

Colorado’s election system remains secure despite accidental password disclosure: State Department

The Colorado Department of State assured voters on Tuesday that partial passwords for some voting systems, which were mistakenly posted online, pose no security risk to the Nov 5 general election.

As per the news agency Reuters, the passwords were unintentionally included in a hidden tab within a spreadsheet on the department's website.

Taking swift action, the department removed the data and notified the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). A CISA spokesperson confirmed awareness of the incident, clarifying that the impact is limited to Colorado's voting systems, which remain secure.

The state’s Republican Party vice chair, Hope Scheppelman, claimed that over 600 unencrypted passwords for voting systems across 63 of Colorado's 64 counties were accessible since August, though independent verification remains unconfirmed.

In response, the Colorado Department of State highlighted the election process’s multiple security layers, including unique passwords for each component, physical access restrictions, and a strict chain of custody protocol to protect the systems from unauthorized access.

Kamala Harris pledges unity and 'New Chapter' in rally on Ellipse near White House

Standing on the Ellipse, where Donald Trump once addressed a crowd that would storm the Capitol, Kamala Harris urged Americans to turn away from "drama and division" and promised a presidency focused on healing and progress.

With a week left until Election Day, Harris rallied over 75,000 attendees, contrasting her vision with Trump’s divisive rhetoric.

In her speech, Harris committed to addressing the needs of all Americans and spoke of welcoming a range of perspectives, even those who disagree with her. She pledged to keep an open-minded and inclusive approach, hinting at plans to include at least one Republican in her cabinet if elected. Harris also criticised her opponent as “unstable” and “obsessed with revenge,” warning of his influence on US democracy and relationships with global powers, while affirming her readiness to lead responsibly and listen to experts.

Highlighting America as the "greatest idea humanity ever devised," Harris called on voters to "turn the page" and write a new chapter for the country.

In contrast to Trump’s frequent discussions on immigration and inflation, Harris briefly addressed these, criticising the use of immigration as a campaign scare tactic and proposing a cap on essentials like insulin to tackle high costs. Despite her speech’s softer tone, Harris’ message resonated with a crowd eager for a new direction.

Harris lead over Trump dwindles to a single point: Poll

In the final days before the Nov 5 election, Vice President Kamala Harris’ lead over former President Donald Trump has narrowed to just one percentage point, with Harris at 44 per cent and Trump at 43 per cent, according to a recent Reuters/Ipsos poll.

The poll, conducted from Thursday to Sunday, shows the race in a virtual tie, with a margin of error of about three percentage points.

Harris, who has consistently led Trump since entering the race in July, has seen her lead decline steadily since late September.

A previous poll from mid-October showed her holding a two-point advantage. The latest survey, which included 1,150 US adults and 975 registered voters, also highlighted Trump’s strong standing on key issues important to voters, underscoring the tight competition between the two candidates

Non-endorsements by Washington Post, LA Times disappoint loyal readers

The total number of newspapers supporting a presidential candidate has decreased due to the industry's financial issues over the last twenty years, partly because owners believe it’s unwise to alienate certain subscribers during a time of political division.

However, in the past week, both The Washington Post and Los Angeles Times have upset readers for exactly the opposite reason: by opting not to endorse any candidate.

The repercussions from these choices continued on Monday, with Post owner Jeff Bezos taking the uncommon step of defending the decision publicly in his own newspaper’s columns. Three members of the Post’s editorial board resigned, and some journalists urged readers to refrain from expressing their dissatisfaction by cancelling subscriptions. Many have already done so.

In a message to readers, Bezos labelled it a principled choice to forego endorsements. He noted that people largely don’t care and view it as a sign of bias. His remarks came just hours after NPR reported that over 200,000 individuals had canceled their subscriptions to The Washington Post.

If NPR’s report is accurate, that would be a significant setback for an outlet that has already been losing money and reducing staff despite having more than 2.5 million subscribers last year. A spokesperson for the Post declined to comment on the report.

Subscribers have been quitting in recent days.

The Times has admitted to losing thousands of subscribers due to its own decision.

Both newspapers had reportedly prepared editorials backing Democrat Kamala Harris but, at the insistence of Bezos and Patrick Soon-Shiong at the Times, chose not to endorse anyone. Post publisher Will Lewis referred to it as “a statement in support of our readers’ ability to make their own decisions.”

By making their announcements just two weeks before Election Day, however, the newspapers opened themselves up to criticism that their publishers were attempting not to upset Republican Donald Trump in case he regained power. “It seemed like they weren't making a principled choice,” stated John Woolley, co-director of the American Presidency Project at the University of California-Santa Barbara.

Former Post editor Martin Baron commented on social media that the decision revealed “concerning timidity at an institution known for its bravery” and suggested that Trump would interpret it as a further enticement to intimidate Bezos.

Trump says his New York rally marked by crude and racist insults was 'an absolute lovefest'

Former US President Donald Trump described the rally at New York's Madison Square Garden event as a “lovefest,” echoing a term he has also used for the January 6 Capitol riot.

Speaking to reporters at Mar-a-Lago on Tuesday, Trump expressed admiration for the gathering, calling it “beautiful” and “breathtaking,” despite sharp criticism from both political sides over offensive remarks by some speakers, reported the news agency AP.

“The love in that room. It was breathtaking,” Trump said. "It was like a lovefest, an absolute lovefest. And it was my honour to be involved.”

The rally drew condemnation from Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign, as well as members of both parties, due to racist and sexist insults made during the pre-show.

Several speakers reportedly targeted Latinos, Black people, Jews, and Palestinians, with comedian Tony Hinchcliffe’s remark about Puerto Rico as a “floating island of garbage” sparking particular outrage.

Trump’s campaign later distanced itself from Hinchcliffe’s joke but did not comment on other inflammatory statements.

Nearly 475 damaged ballots recovered from burned drop box in Washington State: Auditor

Approximately 475 damaged ballots were collected from a ballot drop box that was set on fire early Monday in southwest Washington, according to a county official on Tuesday. Clark County Auditor Greg Kimsey stated that on Wednesday, workers will begin examining the damaged ballots for voter information to reach out to those individuals about obtaining a new ballot. He mentioned that officials are optimistic that despite the damage, the workers will still be able to extract voter information from the ballots.

The damaged ballots are distinct from an unspecified number that were completely destroyed, Kimsey noted.

Incendiary devices caused damage and destruction to hundreds of ballots at a drop box in Vancouver, Washington, and additionally harmed three ballots at a box in Portland, Oregon. This has been condemned by federal, state, and local officials as an assault on democracy ahead of a contentious Election Day.

Authorities have indicated that sufficient evidence from the incendiary devices has been gathered to connect the two fires on Monday, along with an incident on October 8, when an incendiary device was used at another ballot drop box in Vancouver. No ballots were harmed in that earlier incident.

Trump warns Europe will face 'Big Price' over tariffs

Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump stated on Tuesday that if he won the election on November 5, the European Union would face significant consequences for not purchasing enough American goods.

"I'll tell you this, the European Union sounds pleasant, very nice, right? All those charming little European nations coming together," Trump remarked during a rally in Pennsylvania, a critical state. He also promised to introduce the "Trump reciprocal trade act."

"They don’t buy our vehicles. They don’t buy our agricultural products. They export millions and millions of cars to the United States. No, no, no, they will have to face significant consequences,” he added.

Trump has pledged to impose a 10 per cent tariff on imports from all nations, along with 60 per cent duties on imports from China. Economists warn that this would disrupt global supply chains, likely provoking retaliation and increasing costs.

He has made democratic Taiwan uneasy by suggesting that Taiwan should compensate the United States for its defence and by claiming it has taken jobs in America’s semiconductor industry. The US is legally obligated to assist Taiwan, which is claimed by China, with the means to defend itself despite lacking formal diplomatic relations.

'This is a person who is unstable': Kamala targets Trump in her rally

Kamala Harris called on Americans to create the "next chapter" for their nation and to turn away from the chaos and division associated with Donald Trump. She presented a compelling closing argument to voters on Tuesday against the illuminated backdrop of the White House.

The Democratic vice president cautioned against Trump's desire for "unchecked power" while addressing a large rally at the location where her Republican opponent incited a mob prior to the tragic January 6, 2021 attack on the US Capitol.

"This is a person who is unstable, fixated on revenge, driven by grievance, and seeks unchecked power," she stated during her speech, exactly one week before Americans head to the polls in what is being described as the most dramatic and divisive election in recent history.

Two closing arguments show the stark choice between Trump and Harris

Near the White House, one week before the 2024 election concludes, Kamala Harris made a commitment to prioritize national interests over partisan politics and cautioned about Donald Trump's focus on retribution and self-interest.

At Madison Square Garden two days prior, Trump described his Democratic rival as "a trainwreck who has destroyed everything in her path." His supporters at the event characterized Puerto Rico as a "floating island of garbage" and falsely claimed that Harris, potentially the first female president, began her career as a prostitute.

The contrasting final campaign messages, delivered 200 miles apart over two nights, presented voters with distinctly different options for America's leadership and future direction on November 5.
Trump's energetic gathering featured offensive and racially charged comments, revealing controversial aspects of his support base. However, the event also demonstrated his appeal as a non-traditional politician who promises economic improvements and border security, regardless of conventional political norms.

Harris, serving as vice president since 2020, delivered her address from the Ellipse near the White House, emphasizing the critical nature of this election and Trump's threat to democratic institutions. Her location held significance as the site where Trump spoke to supporters before the January 6, 2021 Capitol attack.

Harris's speech aimed to emphasize both democratic principles and Trump's pattern of prioritizing personal interests over national needs.

"Donald Trump has spent a decade trying to keep the American people divided and afraid of each other. That's who he is. But America, I am here tonight to say: That's not who we are," Harris said. "I pledge to be a president for all Americans — to always put country above party and above self."

Will bring my own experiences and ideas to the Oval Office: Kamala

At her White House appearance, Vice President Harris demonstrated a delicate balance in her remarks, acknowledging her connection to President Biden while also distancing herself. She expressed gratitude for her time serving alongside Biden, but emphasized that she "will bring my own experiences and ideas to the Oval Office." In a clear statement about her vision, Harris declared, "My presidency will be different because the challenges we face will be different."

Kamala Harris says, 'Autocrats like Putin and Kim Jong Un are rooting for Trump'

World leaders know that Trump is an easy mark. He’s easy to manipulate with flattery and favors. That is why autocrats like Putin and Kim Jong Un are rooting for him. I will always uphold our security and ensure that the United States remains a champion of liberty around the world: Vice President Harris:

'I will work with Congress to pass immigration reform,' says Kamala Harris

Vice President Harris: When I am president we will quickly remove those who arrive here unlawfully, prosecute the cartels, and give border patrol the support they need. And I will work with Congress to pass immigration reform, including an earned path to citizenship for hardworking immigrants like farmworkers and Dreamers

Harris, in Washington speech, says Trump seeks 'unchecked power'

Vice President Kamala Harris on Tuesday addressed a rally near the US Capitol, where she criticized her opponent's previous rally that preceded the January 6 events. Speaking at the symbolic location, she addressed Trump's political intentions.

"America, this is not a candidate for president who is thinking about how to make your life better. This is someone who is unstable, obsessed with revenge, consumed with grievance and out for unchecked power," Harris said during her speech to supporters gathered near the White House in Washington.

Vivek Ramaswamy on whether he was hurt by Puerto Rico joke: 'It wasn't funny...'

GOP leader and former presidential hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy said the Puerto Rico joke made by comedian Tony Hinchcliffe at Donald Trump's Madison Square Garden event was bad because it wasn't funny but he absolved Donald Trump from the controversy and asked why Kamala Harris was not held responsible for a similar joke made by comedian George Lopez where he called all Mexicans thieves.

"I think we need to all get off our high horses and acknowledge that a bad joke was told. It was bad because it wasn't very funny. The audience didn't find it funny," Vivek said. "If the George Lopez joke had been told at the Donald Trump rally you and I both know we'd be talking about that," he said. "But because it was at a Kamala Harris rally we're not saying a word about it. And I think that that's just hypocritical." Read more

George W Bush's daughter Babara endorses Kamala Harris, going door to door for campaigning

Melania Trump reveals whether she really wants to be First Lady again, 'He's not Hitler'

"When you go in, you know exactly what to expect, you know what kind of people you need to get...who have the same vision as me, they would serve me as they served the country," Melania said on Fox and Friends.

JD Vance to sit down with Joe Rogan; Harris campaign says VP can't give 3 hours

After Donald Trump sat with Joe Rogan for a three-hour interview, Trump's running mate JD Vance is expected to record an interview with Rogan on Wednesday morning -- at a time Rogan's podcast with Vice President Kamala Harris went kaput. Joe Rogan said Kamala Harris' team made several demands.“They offered a date for Tuesday, but I would have had to travel to her and they only wanted to do an hour. I strongly feel the best way to do it is in the studio in Austin,” Rogan said in a statement on X, adding that the Harris campaign “has not passed on doing the podcast.” Read more

50 Cent says he turned down Donald Trump's $3 million offer to perform at MSG rally: 'I'm afraid'

At a time when a volley of celebrities are endorsing Kamala Harris, rapper 50 Cent said he turned down a $3 million offer from Donald Trump campaign to perform at the Madison Square Garden rally. The singer said he was also asked to perform at the Republican National Convention which he had turned down similarly. "I'm afraid of politics," he said. "You understand? I do not like no part about them. So no gangbanging and no politics!” he said during an interview on The Breakfast Club radio show. Read more
