With four days of campaigning to go in the 2024 race, Kamala Harris<\/a> and Donald Trump<\/a> are making their final pitches<\/a> to voters, spending Thursday hosting Halloween rallies across the crucial Sun Belt states of Arizona<\/a> and Nevada<\/a>.
Having already addressed two gatherings of his supporters, the former president ended his day in a sit-down interview with Tucker Carlson<\/a> on stage in Glendale, Arizona, at which he shockingly fantasised<\/a> about former Republican congresswoman Liz Cheney<\/a> being shot at.
He also attacked senior Democrats Joe Biden<\/a>, Hillary Clinton<\/a> and Adam Schiff<\/a> and warned baselessly against \u201ccheating\u201d at the polls and forced sex-change operations in schools.
Vice President Harris closed out Thursday with a rally in Las Vegas<\/a> in which singer and actor Jennifer Lopez<\/a> emotionally endorsed her.
Trump\u2019s running mate JD Vance<\/a> was meanwhile interviewed by influential podcaster Joe Rogan<\/a>, at which he gushed over Trump<\/a>, claimed the Republican ticket could pick up \u201cthe normal gay guy vote\u201d and scaremongered about the imposition of Sharia law in Minnesota.
Both Harris and Trump will be in Milwaukee<\/a>, Wisconsin, on Friday, a city the Republican insulted prior to its hosting this summer\u2019s Republican National Convention<\/a>.
A typically robust and no-nonsense response from Cheney here to Trump\u2019s fantasy about her violent murder.
Apologies if you\u2019re eating your breakfast right now.
The Super PAC run by former GOP operatives that\u2019s been working to convert former Trump voters into supporters of Kamala Harris is making a final push in key swing states with a massive billboard campaign meant to hammer home the message that it\u2019s OK for a Republican to vote for a Democrat this time around.
On Friday, Republican Voters Against Trump rolled out a six-figure campaign to cover the sides of main roads in three key swing states with signs featuring ex-Trump voters who are now voting for Harris.
The billboards will be placed in \u201cswarms\u201d in which multiple signs will greet drivers, back-to-back, as they commute over the next few days. They will run in the Philadelphia, Milwaukee and Detroit media markets on November 1 and November 4.

The Republican said twice yesterday that the conspiracy-minded vaccine-sceptic will be given responsibility for women\u2019s health in his prospective future administration.
This was Harris\u2019s pithy response to that nightmare scenario.
This meme is also reason enough not to appoint the former independent candidate to anything.
But RFK Jr may not even be the weirdest member of Trump\u2019s hypothetical next Cabinet\u2026
I suppose even a stopped clock is right twice a day.
The Republican presidential nominee said the above during his first engagement on Thursday in Albuquerque, New Mexico, which also contained more not-particularly-subtle projection as he claimed it was Kamala, not he, that is exhausted and, bafflingly, called her \u201ca cracker\u201d.
There was also another musical interlude as a member of the crowd received medical attention.<\/p>\n

Before we recap the Republican\u2019s other big event yesterday, here\u2019s a look at his number two\u2019s sitdown with Rogan.
Amusingly, the pair gushed that Trump looks better now than he did in 2016, only for the man himself to repay Vance for the compliment with this crushing remark in Albuquerque.
The Ohio Senator otherwise claimed the Republican ticket could pick up \u201cthe normal gay guy vote\u201d and scaremongered about the imposition of Sharia law in Tim Walz\u2019s Minnesota, which is, needless to say, not something that is actually happening.
Here\u2019s Oliver O\u2019Connell<\/strong>\u2019s report.
\u2018Dude just didn\u2019t age!\u2019
Before his sit down with Tucker, Trump was in Henderson, Nevada, yesterday afternoon, where his rolling river of bile saw him utter the immortal words of Elon Musk: \u201cIn terms of computer, I would say he\u2019s probably about as good as you get.\u201d
He also threatened to shut down both ABC and CBS (imagine the lawsuits), twice declared himself the \u201cfather of IVF\u201d, said Democrats are opposed to windows (?!), described all of America\u2019s cities as dirty and smelly and attempted to put aside concerns about his authoritarian instincts by saying: \u201cI am the least threat.\u201d
Well, I\u2019m convinced!
Over in Nevada, the Democrat was doing some normal campaigning in the course of which she ridiculed Trump\u2019s crowd size mania and called out her opponent\u2019s closing message to the American people of \u201chate and division\u201d.
She was joined by pop superstar and actress Jennifer Lopez, who delivered an emotional and scathing takedown of Trump campaign\u2019s \u201cfloating garbage island\u201d comments about Puerto Rico.

Star, who is Puerto Rican, said \u2018every Latino in this country\u2019 was offended by the remarks
Good morning!
Let\u2019s start with a look back at Donald Trump\u2019s final event of Thursday, a 90-minute sitdown with Tucker Carlson, in which the Republican presidential nominee fantasised about the shooting of former Republican congresswoman Liz Cheney, a truly shocking moment.
Remember the post-Butler \u201cnew tone\u201d we were promised in July?
In truth that was just one of several nasty attacks by Trump on his enemies, with personal insults dished out about Joe Biden, Adam Schiff and Hillary Clinton as Carlson sat there, variously chuckling obsequiously or blankly moon-faced.
We were also treated to warnings about election \u201ccheating\u201d, insane rants about crowd size, \u201cthe enemy within\u201d and non-existent forced sex change operations.
Incredibly disturbing that this man, a twice-impeached convicted felon openly indulging violent revenge fantasises rather than offering coherent policy platforms for making people\u2019s lives better, should be this close to the White House but here we are with four days to go.
James Liddell<\/strong> has this report.
\u2018Let\u2019s put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her,\u2019 Trump said of his most prominent GOP critic
The final Marist polls from the Blue Wall states has some good news for Kamala Harris.
The vice president is up 51\/48 in Michigan against Donald Trump; 50\/48 in Pennsylvania; and 50\/48 in Wisconsin.
Marist last polled these states in September. Pennsylvania was tied, and Harris was up 50\/49 in Wisconsin and 52\/47 in Michigan.
There is also good news for the Democratic candidates in the three Senate races in those states.
