Trump veers away from swing states for his Madison Square Garden moment

Donald Trump is finally getting his Madison Square Garden moment. With just over a week to go before Election Day, the former president will take the stage at one of the country's most iconic venues, hosting a hometown rally to deliver his campaign's closing message against Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris. Madison Square Garden is the centre of the universe," said Trump campaign senior adviser Jason Miller, noting the venue's storied history hosting events including the 1971 Fight of the Century." The rally is one of a series of detours Trump has made from battleground states, including a recent rally in Coachella, California best known for the famous music festival named after the town and one over the summer on the Jersey Shore. This summer he campaigned in the South Bronx. While some Democrats and TV pundits have questioned Trump's decision to hold what they dismiss as vanity events, the rally guarantees Trump what he most craves: the spotlight, wall-to-wall coverage a

US elections: Michelle Obama seeks support from men for Kamala Harris

Michelle Obama challenged men to support Kamala Harris ' bid to be America's first female president, warning at a rally in Michigan on Saturday that women's lives would be at risk if Donald Trump returned to the White House. The former first lady described the assault on abortion rights as the harbinger of dangerous limitations on healthcare for women. Some men may be tempted to vote for Trump because of their anger at the slow pace of progress, Obama said, but your rage does not exist in a vacuum. If we don't get this election right, your wife, your daughter, your mother, we as women will become collateral damage to your rage, Obama said. So are you as men prepared to look into the eyes of the women and children you love and tell them you supported this assault on our safety?

Progressives warn Harris must change closing message as election looms

Progressive Democrats warn Kamala Harris risks losing the support of a small but significant portion of her political base unless she changes her campaign's closing message and its messengers immediately. Specifically, several progressive leaders believe that the Democratic nominee has been too focused on winning over moderate Republicans in recent days at the expense of her own party's passionate liberals. And they say that Harris' closing message, which is increasingly centred on Republican Donald Trump and the threat he poses to US democracy, ignores the economic struggles of the nation's working class. Some far-left leaders are also irked that Harris has shared the stage in recent days with former House Republican leader Liz Cheney and billionaire businessman Mark Cuban while progressive icons like Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have been relegated to low-profile roles. The truth of the matter is that there are a hell of a lot more ...

Donald Trump says China's leader will bully Kamala Harris 'like a baby'

Donald Trump said Thursday that China's leader would handle Vice President Kamala Harris like a baby if she's elected to the White House, as the former president and his top allies increasingly have moved to infantilise the Democratic nominee. If somehow Kamala wins, she'd have to deal with Xi Jinping," conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt said of the Chinese president. How would he handle her? Trump replied, Like a baby. He'd take all the candy away very quickly, Trump continued. She wouldn't have any idea what happened. It would be like a grand chess master playing a beginner. Trump has built his political career around name-calling, inventing jeers for his opponents going back to his first run for president in 2016, when he slammed Republican primary rivals like Low Energy Jeb Bush, the former governor of Florida, and Little" Marco Rubio, the Florida senator. The former president also has a long history of belittling women. But Trump has unleashed a special array of personal of

Voters trust Harris on key issues, but will that influence their vote?

If the presidential election hinged on abortion or climate change, Kamala Harris might be feeling pretty comfortable about her chances on November 5, based on the polls. The Democratic nominee is also competitive on economic issues against Republican Donald Trump. But Harris knows this is an extremely tight race and that it could well serve as a test of just how much policy matters to voters, and which policies ultimately matter the most. The vice president leads Trump on abortion, election integrity, climate change, taxes for the middle class and management of natural disasters, according to the latest survey by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs. She's essentially split with Trump on several specific economic issues such as jobs and the cost of groceries and gasoline. The two are basically even as well on crime and the situation in the Middle East. Trump has a slight advantage over Harris on tariffs, and a bigger edge on immigration. Despite Harris' advantage o

Harris, Trump shift to podcasts moving away from legacy media to campaign

Among the legacy news outlets that have come up empty in their efforts to interview Kamala Harris and Donald Trump during the general election campaign: NPR, The New York Times, PBS and The Washington Post. Yet Harris chose to meet with Alex Cooper for her Call Her Daddy podcast and talk a little Bay Area basketball with the fellows on All the Smoke. Trump rejected 60 Minutes, but has hung out with the bros on the Bussin' With the Boys and Flagrant. During this truncated campaign, some of the traditional giants of journalism are being pushed aside. The growing popularity of podcasts and their ability to help candidates in a tight race target a specific sliver of the electorate is a big reason why. There are certainly exceptions. Harris spoke to NBC News' Hallie Jackson on Tuesday and held a CNN town hall on Wednesday. But political columnist John Heilemann of Puck noticed what he called an ancient, dying beast railing against the diminishment of its status and stature in the new ...

Kamala Harris attacks Republican rival, says 'Trump unfit to be president'

Launching a scathing attack on her Republican rival former president Donald Trump, Vice President and Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris on Wednesday charged that he is unfit to lead the country. Yesterday we learned that Donald Trump's former chief of staff, John Kelly, a retired four-star general, confirmed that while Donald Trump was president, he said he wanted generals like Adolf Hitler had, Harris told reporters at her official residence in the American Capital. Donald Trump said that because he does not want a military that is loyal to the United States Constitution. He wants a military that is loyal to him. He wants a military who will be loyal to him personally, one that will obey his orders even when he tells them to break the law or abandon their oath to the Constitution of the United States, she said. In just the past week, Donald Trump has repeatedly called his fellow Americans the enemy from within, and even said that he would use the United States military

Vice President Kamala Harris, who is the presidential nominee of the ruling Democratic party, plans to make a closing argument of the electrifying election campaign at the iconic Ellipse, the park just outside the White House on October 29, exactly a week ahead of the November 5 general elections.

Following the rally, thousands of his supporters marched towards the Capitol Hill, resulting in one of the darkest moments i

UK PM Starmer downplays Labour workers backing Harris in US election

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Wednesday sought to downplay Labour Party workers heading to the US to campaign for Kamala Harris in the US presidential race after her opponent Donald Trump accused the UK's governing party of "blatant foreign interference". The row was triggered by a now-deleted social media post by Labour's head of operations, Sofia Patel, calling on party colleagues to join her group on a campaign tour to the battleground states in the American election on November 5. The post triggered a backlash from the Republicans in America. However, under US law foreign nationals can legally volunteer in an election campaign in an unpaid capacity. The Labour Party has volunteers. [they] have gone over pretty much every election, said Starmer who is en route to the Pacific island country of Samoa for the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM). "They're doing it in their spare time. They're doing it as volunteers. They're staying I think with other volunteers
