Former President Donald Trump<\/a> urged a New Mexico rally on Thursday to not make him \u201cwaste a whole damn half a day here,\u201d by voting for his Democratic opponent.
The state hasn\u2019t voted for a Republican on the presidential level since 2004. Trump suggested that he would win a number of Democratic states as long as the vote was \u201chonest\u201d as he continues to make his false election fraud claims.
With less than a week to go in the US presidential election race, Kamala Harris<\/a> and Trump are making their final pitches<\/a> to voters.
The Democratic presidential nominee has hit back at her Republican rival after he vowed to \u201cprotect\u201d women \u201cwhether the women like it or not\u201d<\/a> at a rally in Green Bay, Wisconsin<\/a>, on Wednesday.
\u201cDonald Trump thinks he should get to make decisions about what you do with your body. Whether you like it or not,\u201d Harris posted on X.
In a bizarre stunt prior to his speech, Trump had posed in a garbage truck dressed as a sanitation worker<\/a> in an attempt to troll Harris and Joe Biden<\/a> after the latter allegedly called MAGA voters \u201cgarbage\u201d in anger over comedian Tony Hinchcliffe\u2019s already-notorious Madison Square Garden joke about Puerto Rico<\/a>.
Commenting on Donald Trump\u2019s statement on Wednesday night that he would be a protector of women whether they like it or not, Kamala Harris told Yamiche Alcindor of NBC News: \u201cWell, I’ll just speak on behalf of myself, but also the Americans that I speak with every day around our country, regardless of their gender, which is the majority of Americans, believe that women are intelligent enough and should have and be respected for their agency to make decisions for themselves about what is in their best interest, and not have their government, and certainly not Donald Trump telling them what to do.
\u201cAnd his latest comment is just the most recent in a series of examples that we have seen from him, in his words and deeds, about he de- how he devalues the ability of women to have the choice and the freedom to make decisions about their own body.\u201d
Speaking to Yamiche Alcindor of NBC News, Kamala Harris was asked about her day one priorities for executive action.
Harris replied: \u201cWell, my first priority, which will be probably the package of bills, is about bringing down the cost of living. So it\u2019s about housing, it\u2019s about child care, it\u2019s about what we need to do to deal with grocery prices. So it\u2019s not one, it\u2019s a package that is with one singular purpose, bringing down the cost of living.\u201d
The last full week of the 2024 campaign is finally, mercifully, almost over.<\/a>
Donald Trump and Kamala Harris are neck-and-neck in national polling,<\/a> as they\u2019ve been for months. In more than a half-dozen swing states, the margins separating the candidates are very close \u2014 and either candidate could clearly pull ahead by Monday.
There are signs, however, of which way this thing may be going. Harris is closing, by any honest account, with a show of strength. Her thousands-strong crowd on the Ellipse <\/a>on Wednesday, not to mention the thousands more turned away for lack of space, was a shot directly across the bow of Trump, whose own crowd began abandoning him once again last week in Michigan. The former president kept his supporters waiting for hours while he talked to Joe Rogan.
Vice president\u2019s campaign frames her up on the White House lawn while Trump and Vance play to podcasters and their remaining true believers
In an exclusive interview, Yamiche Alcindor of NBC News asked Kamala Harris about Donald Trump riding around on a garbage truck in an attempt to draw attention to Joe Biden\u2019s comments on Tuesday night and whether the president\u2019s comments may have undermined her own messaging about being a president for all Americans.
Vice President Harris responded: \u201cWell, I’ve addressed how I feel about those comments. One, that the President explained what he meant, but two, I do not believe, and I will speak for myself, that we should ever criticize people based on who they vote for.
\u201cBut let’s understand again, where we are in this election. On the one hand, you have Donald Trump, who refers to people by the most demeaning words, who attempts to really take from them the dignity that they so rightly deserve. He is someone who talks full-time about the enemy within. He speaks ill of America. He refers to us as a garbage can, and he does not understand that most people are exhausted with his rhetoric, exhausted with that approach, exhausted with an approach that Donald Trump has is trying to divide our country and have Americans point fingers at each other.
\u201cThey’re done with it, and they’re ready to turn the page and accept and receive a new generation of leadership, which I offer.\u201d
It\u2019s been a dramatic, high-stakes presidential race<\/a> between Donald Trump<\/a> and Kamala Harris<\/a>.
The polls<\/a> are neck-and-neck and analysts<\/a> are reluctant to make a solid prediction for which candidate will win.
Now, the question many are asking is: When will the race be called?<\/a>
The result is called by the media in the days or week(s) after November 5 but this is only ever a projection, with the election officially certified on January 6 by Congress.<\/a>
Experts said that the timeline for calling the race largely depends on two things: how close the election is in individual states<\/a> and the specific laws of those states regarding counting votes and potential recounts, which all vary.
Experts walk The Independent through the possible scenarios of when we\u2019ll know whether Trump or Harris has won the race
LeBron James has endorsed Kamala Harris posting a video excoriating Donald Trump and his campaign \u2014 notably including racist remarks about Black people made by a comedian at his Madison Square Garden rally on Sunday.
The basketball legend writes: \u201cWhat are we even talking about here?? When I think about my kids and my family and how they will grow up, the choice is clear to me. VOTE KAMALA HARRIS!!!\u201d
Donald Trump<\/a> is suing CBS News<\/a> for $10 billion, alleging that the network deceptively edited an interview with his rival Kamala Harris<\/a> to unlawfully influence the 2024 presidential election.
The lawsuit<\/a>, filed in Texas<\/a>, accuses CBS of \u201cpartisan and unlawful acts of election and voter interference through malicious, deceptive, and substantial news distortion calculated to \u2026 confuse, deceive, and mislead the public\u201d and \u201cattempt to tip the scales\u201d in favor of the Democratic nominee.
Alex Woodward <\/strong>reports.
His long-shot complaint accuses the network of deceptively editing an interview in an \u2018attempt to tip the scales\u2019
Voters assemble! The United States presidential election<\/a> is now just a week away, and the race between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump still looks too close to call.<\/a>
Yesterday, actor Zachary Levi<\/a> appeared on SiriusXM\u2019s The Megyn Kelly Show <\/em>to weigh in with the political wisdom he\u2019s gained as the star of Shazam<\/em> and Harold and the Purple Crayon<\/em>. The 44-year-old told the former Fox News presenter that his vote for Trump will actually be a vote for: \u201cDonald Trump and Bobby Kennedy and Tulsi Gabbard and Vivek Ramaswamy and Elon Musk and JD Vance.\u201d Levi went on to describe this line-up as: \u201cthis team \u2013 this Avengers, this Voltron, whatever you want to call it.\u201d
It\u2019s a bold comparison that Trump fans like to make, even though their candidate once compared himself to the supervillain Thanos<\/a>, but it seems unlikely to be welcomed by the people who actually play the Avengers.
Here\u2019s how the likes of Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth and Samuel L Jackson will really be casting their vote:
\u2018Shazam\u2019 star Zachary Levi claims that Trump has assembled a team of political superheroes, but how will the likes of Robert Downey Jr, Mark Ruffalo and Scarlett Johansson really be voting on November 5?
