Trump kicks off Pennsylvania rally by talking in detail about Arnold Palmer

Donald Trump's campaign suggested he would begin previewing his closing argument Saturday night with Election Day barely two weeks away. But the former president kicked off his rally with a detailed story about Arnold Palmer, at one point even praising the late, legendary golfer's genitalia. Trump was campaigning in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, where Palmer was born in 1929 and learned to golf from his father, who suffered from polio and was head pro and greenskeeper at the local country club. Politicians saluting Palmer in his hometown is nothing new. But Trump spent 12 full minutes doing so at the top of his speech and even suggested how much more fun the night would be if Palmer, who died in 2016, could join him on stage. Arnold Palmer was all man, and I say that in all due respect to women," Trump said. "This is a guy that was all man. Then he went even further. When he took the showers with other pros, they came out of there. They said, Oh my God. That's unbelievable,' Trump said w

Judge unseals censored evidence in Trump's 2020 election interference case

The judge overseeing Donald Trump's 2020 election interference case made public Friday a heavily redacted trove of documents that provide a small glimpse into the evidence prosecutors will present if the case ever goes to trial. The nearly 1,900 pages of documents collected by special counsel Jack Smith's team were initially filed under seal to help U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan decide what allegations can proceed to trial following the Supreme Court opinion in July that conferred broad immunity on former presidents for official acts they take in office. The information that could be seen in the redacted version released Friday appeared to be material that for the most part had already been made public, including screenshots of Trump social media posts about the 2020 election and a transcript of the video statement he made on Jan. 6, 2021 in, which he told the rioters attacking the Capitol to go home, but added: we love you and you're very special. The overwhelming majority of t

Musk holds first solo event in support of Trump in Philadelphia suburbs

Elon Musk held his first solo event in support of Donald Trump for president on Thursday, encouraging voters in the Philadelphia suburbs to register to cast their ballots and vote early, though some attendees shouted back, Why? The America PAC event at Ridley High School's auditorium in Folsom featured the world's richest man speaking onstage in front of a large U.S. flag for roughly 15 minutes before taking questions from the crowd, many of whom wore Make America Great Again hats. The event was billed as a call to action to vote early in the crucial battleground state of Pennsylvania, where Trump and Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris are fiercely contesting the election. Some in the crowd questioned Musk's entreaties to vote early, reflecting the possibility that Republicans are still persuading their supporters to embrace early voting after Trump spent years demonizing the method. The crowd rose to its feet and took cellphone videos as Musk, the billionaire founder of Tesla

TikTok allowed disinformation in political ads despite ban: Global Witness

Just weeks before the U.S. presidential election, TikTok approved advertisements that contained election disinformation even though it has a ban on political ads, according to a report published Thursday by the nonprofit Global Witness. The technology and environmental watchdog group submitted ads that it designed to test how well systems at social media companies work in detecting different types of election misinformation. The group, which did a similar investigation two years ago, did find that the companies especially Facebook have improved their content-moderation systems since then. But it called out TikTok for approving four of the eight ads submitted for review that contained falsehoods about the election. That's despite the platform's ban on all political ads in place since 2019. The ads never appeared on TikTok because Global Witness pulled them before they went online. Four ads were incorrectly approved during the first stage of moderation, but did not run on our ...

Vance says 'no' when asked whether Donald Trump lost 2020 election

In the months since he became Donald Trump 's running mate, Ohio Sen. JD Vance has repeatedly deflected questions about whether the Republican presidential nominee lost the 2020 election, saying he was focused on the future. During a rally in Pennsylvania on Wednesday, where Vance was asked by a reporter about his lack of straight answers so far, he was more declarative. What message do you think it sends to independent voters when you do not directly answer the question Did Donald Trump lose in 2020?' the reporter asked, eliciting boos from the crowd before Vance responded, saying he has answered the question a million times." No. I think there were serious problems in 2020, Vance said. So, did Donald Trump lose the election? Not by the words that I would use, OK? The answer was the most specific Vance has been on the subject, and a departure from the series of evasions he has offered about the election Trump continues to say without evidence was decided fraudulently in favor of .

Harris calls on Republicans to put 'country first' as Trump woos Latinos

Surrounded by more than 100 former Republican office holders and officials, Democrat Kamala Harris urged GOP voters on Wednesday to put country first and abandon Donald Trump. The Democratic presidential candidate made her case to Republican voters that the patriotic choice was her party in next month's election because Trump is unstable and unhinged" and would eviscerate democratic norms if given a second White House term. America must heed this warning," said Harris, speaking at a rally near where Gen. George Washington led hundreds of troops across the Delaware River to a major victory in the Revolutionary War. Joined by the former lawmakers and government officials for a rally in the Philadelphia suburbs, Harris said, Anyone who tramples on our democratic values as Donald Trump has, anyone who has called for the termination' of the Constitution of the United States as Donald Trump has, must never again stand behind the seal of the president of the United States." The rally was

Trump's reply similar to Harris when asked to say 3 nice things about her

Donald Trump on Wednesday was asked to name three virtues of his Democratic opponent Kamala Harris, a week after Harris was asked to do the same for the Republican nominee. His answer sounded a lot like hers. That's a very hard question," Trump said at the end of a town hall-style event hosted by Univision, the nation's largest Spanish-language network. That's the toughest question. The other ones are easy. Trump first said Harris had harmed our country horribly before complimenting what he said was her ability to survive. Then came the jab. Because she was out of the race, Trump said, referring to Harris' early departure from the 2020 Democratic presidential nominating campaign and her replacement this summer of President Joe Biden atop the 2024 ticket. And all of a sudden she's running for president. He also noted that she seems to have some pretty long-time friendships and that she seems to have a nice way about her. I like the way, you know, some of her statements, some of h

US has broken immigration system that needs to be repaired: Kamala Harris

The United States has a broken immigration system that needs to be repaired, Vice President Kamala Harris said on Wednesday in a rare interview with the Republican-leaning news channel during which she sparred with its popular host. The point is that we have a broken immigration system that needs to be repaired,' Harris told Fox News anchor Bret Baier in a rare sit-down with the news channel. So, your Homeland Security Secretary said that 85 per cent of apprehensions, Baier interjected. I'm not finished. We have an immigration system, Harris tried to continue with her answer. It's a rough estimate that 6 million people have been released into the country, the Fox News anchor interrupted again. And let me just finish. I'll get to the question. I promise you. I was beginning to answer, the vice president pleaded. When you came into office, your administration immediately reversed a number of Trump border policies. Most significantly, the policy that required illegal immigrants to b

'States will undo abortion laws that are too tough,' says Donald Trump

Trump didn't specify which states he was speaking about, but cited Ohio as an example of a GOP-led state that voted to expand abortion rights in a recent ballot measure

Harris will cut her own path as President with fresh perspective: Biden

President Joe Biden on Tuesday said Kamala Harris would cut her own path once she wins the 2024 election, allowing for more daylight between him and his vice president as she works to win over skeptical voters three weeks before Election Day. Kamala will take the country in her own direction, and that's one of the most important differences in this election, he said. Kamala's perspective on our problems will be fresh and new. Donald Trump's perspective old and failed and quite frankly, thoroughly totally dishonest. Biden's comments may give Harris more license to stake out her own political and policy stances in the critical closing phase of the presidential race, and appear to go further to distance the two than Harris has herself. The vice president's aides have privately expressed some frustration that the 81-year-old president has been too focused on his own legacy and not the race to succeed him. But Harris has of late faced increasing pressure to articulate how she'd govern .

Two shot during Trump assassination attempt say secret service failed them

Two men who were shot during the first assassination attempt on Donald Trump this summer say the US Secret Service was negligent in protecting the former president and other bystanders at the campaign rally in Pennsylvania. David Dutch, 57, an ex-Marine, and James Copenhaver, 74, a retired liquor store manager, told NBC News in an exclusive interview Monday they were excited to be sitting in the bleachers behind the Republican nominee at the fairgrounds in Butler on July 13 when gunshots rang out and they were hit. Another man, Corey Comperatore, 50, was killed in the shooting while shielding his family. Trump was wounded in the ear. The interview with the two Pennsylvania men who were critically injured marked their first public statements since 20-year-old shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks of Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, opened fire in July from an unsecured rooftop nearby before he was fatally shot by sharpshooters. It was like getting hit with a sledgehammer right in the chest, sai

US elections 2024: Harris, Trump campaign in battleground Pennsylvania

Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump took their fight for Pennsylvania to opposite ends of the state Monday, with Harris speaking in the northwest corner in Erie and Trump in the southeastern suburbs of Philadelphia. Democrat Harris and Republican Trump have been making regular appearances in what is the country's largest battleground state it will be Harris' tenth visit to Pennsylvania this campaign season, and just last week Trump made stops in both Scranton and Reading. Harris at an evening campaign rally planned to raise Trump's comments over the weekend suggesting that the U.S. military be used to deal with the enemy from within, according to a senior Harris campaign official. The official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to preview the remarks ahead of a campaign rally in Erie, said Harris will hammer home the idea that Trump sees Americans who disagree with him as enemies. She'll argue that the comments made in a Fox News Sunday Morning ...

Trump's protests aside, his agenda significantly overlaps with Project 2025

Donald Trump insists that Project 2025, a nearly 1,000-page blueprint for a hard-right turn in American government and society, does not reflect his priorities for a White House encore. I haven't read it. I don't want to read it purposefully, the Republican presidential nominee said September 10 on the debate stage. Yet from economics, immigration and education policy to civil rights and foreign affairs, there are common ideas and shared ideology between Project 2025 and Trump's outline for another term from his official Agenda 47 slate, the Republican platform he personally approved and his other statements. There are also differences: Project 2025, led by the Heritage Foundation and written by many conservatives who worked in or with Trump's administration, offers more particulars on some issues than the former president. Here's a look at how Trump's 2024 campaign and Project 2025 align and deviate: Key tax proposals could benefit the wealthy TRUMP: His tax policies lean broa

Donald Trump drives his anti-immigration message in Aurora, Colorado

Donald Trump detoured from the battleground states Friday to visit a Colorado suburb that's been in the news over illegal immigration as he drives a message, often using false or misleading claims and dehumanizing language, that migrants are causing chaos in smaller American cities and towns. Trump's rally in Aurora marked the first time ahead of the November election that either presidential campaign has visited Colorado, which reliably votes Democratic statewide. The Republican nominee has long promised to stage the largest deportation operation in U.S. history and has made immigration core to his political persona since launching his first campaign in 2015. In recent months, Trump has pinpointed specific smaller communities that have seen large arrivals of migrants, with tensions flaring locally over resources and some longtime residents expressing distrust about sudden demographic changes. Aurora entered the spotlight in August when a video circulated showing armed men walking .

Trump's campaign requests military aircraft, vehicles after Iran's threats

Donald Trump 's aides have requested a slew of stepped-up security measures, including military aircraft capable of shooting down surface-to-air missiles to transport the former president in the race's final stretch, amid growing concerns over threats from Iran in a campaign already shaken by violence. The campaign's highly unusual request comes as the Republican candidate faces death threats from Iran, which has also targeted other former Trump administration officials and has also been blamed for a widespread hack of top campaign officials. Trump narrowly survived one assassination attempt and U.S. Secret Service agents foiled a second, though neither case has been publicly linked to Iranian actors. Beyond a military plane, the campaign has asked for special armored vehicles typically reserved for sitting presidents, expanded temporary flight restrictions over his rallies and his residences, reimbursements for decoy aircraft, and more money for the U.S. Secret Service and local law

AR Rahman records 30-minute performance, bid to boost Harris' campaign

Legendary music composer A R Rahman has recorded a 30-minute performance video in support of Vice President Kamaal Harris, which is expected to give a big boost to her presidential campaign ahead of the November 5 general elections. Rahman, 57, is the first major international artist from S Asia to have endorsed Harris, who is of mixed Indian and African origin. With this performance, A R Rahman has added his voice to a chorus of leaders and artists who are standing up for progress and representation in America, said Shekar Narasimhan, chairman of the AAPI Victory Fund. This is more than just a musical event, it's a call to action for our communities to engage and vote for the future we want to see, he said after AAPI Victory Fund announced that Rahman, the globally renowned Indian composer and musician, has recorded an exclusive 30-minute performance in support Harris's 2024 presidential campaign. This powerful endorsement by one of the most iconic voices in the South Asian commun
