Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told the audience at a Tucker Carlson event tonight about his conversations with Trump regarding possible responsibilities if Trump is elected again.
“As soon as Donald Trump started talking about giving me the power, he asked me to do three things. He asked me to root out the corruption and end the conflicts of interest in our regulatory agencies and end this corporate capture that has turned out regulatory agencies into sock puppets, the industries they’re supposed to regulate," Kennedy said.
He also said that he would advise Trump "to ban pharmaceutical advertising on TV.”
NBC News has reported that Kennedy could play a large health role in a future Trump administration.
Since he entered the 2024 race, Trump has called for the criminal prosecution of at least 16 rival politicians and 15 law enforcement, military and intelligence officials — according to an NBC News review of his public comments — not to mention workers at two federal public health agencies, two tech billionaires, Google and any lawyers, campaign donors and political operatives who engage in what he has called “unscrupulous behavior” in the election.
A separate recent review by National Public Radio found that Trump had issued threats of prosecution more than 100 times.
The winner of the presidential election will play a crucial role in shaping U.S. relations with countries involved in conflicts. NBC News’ Janis Mackey Frayer, Kier Simmons and Matt Bradley report from around the world on how Harris and Trump are addressing key international issues, including the Russia-Ukraine war, the Middle East conflict and the threat posed by China.
Second gentleman Doug Emhoff described in an interview tonight how he feels when Trump hurls personal insults against Harris on the campaign trail.
“As a husband, it pisses me off,” Emhoff said in response to a question from MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell. “But as a first gentleman — you know, someone who hopes to be the first gentleman married to the next president of the United States — we cannot be distracted by it."
"So no matter how I feel about it as her husband, I’ve got to put it to the side so we don’t get distracted, so we focus on this mission of getting her elected,” he added.
Emhoff, who practiced law before his wife became vice president, also talked about his role fighting antisemitism during the Biden administration.
“When they took office, at first it was a little bit of a struggle, frankly, to figure out what I would do, what my role would be,” he said. “But it was Kamala Harris who was the one who pushed me into issues like fighting antisemitism and hate.”
“That was really her up until this very day continuing to push me out in the face of so much hate and antisemitism to use that platform to speak out,” said Emhoff, the first man and the first Jewish person to be married to a vice president.
Pennsylvania’s mail balloting policies have been the focus of intense litigation since the 2020 election. Now, two new cases may address the rules in the biggest battleground state on the eve of the election, with implications for thousands of ballots that have already been mailed in or dropped off.
The latest fights — and there may be more to come — present two issues. The first case is about whether a voter who returns a “deficient” mail ballot — for example, a mail ballot missing its “secrecy envelope” or one that was undated or misdated by a voter — can cast a provisional ballot, instead, on Election Day, as was the general practice in 2022. The state Supreme Court recently said yes, based on state law, but the U.S. Supreme Court may soon weigh in. The NBC News Decision Desk estimates that thousands of votes could be at stake.
Trump said at his rally tonight that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. would "work on health and women's health" if Trump wins another term.
Harris hit back on X with a single word: "No."
She added a heart emoji.
Trump said tonight that he surrounds himself "with the strongest of women” after Harris surrogate Mark Cuban suggested in an interview on "The View" earlier today that “you’ve never seen him around strong, intelligent women ever.”
Trump pushed back against Cuban's remark tonight on X, saying Cuban “is very wrong, I surround myself with the strongest of women,” before delivering a series of insults directed at him.
“All strong women, and women in general, should be very angry about this weak man’s statement,” Trump added.
Trump campaign national press secretary Karoline Leavitt also responded to Cuban’s remark in a statement, calling it "extremely insulting to the thousands of women who work for President Trump, and the tens of millions of women who are voting for him.”
Cuban was responding on ABC's "The View" to Trump's saying at a rally last night that he plans to protect women "whether the women like it or not."
“It’s just that simple, they’re intimidating to him," Cuban said. "He doesn’t like to be challenged by them."
After his remark sparked criticism, some of it from Republican lawmakers, Cuban said on X this afternoon that he knows “many strong, intelligent women voting for Trump” and that he knows Trump has “worked with strong intelligent women.”
"I stand by my opinion that he does not like being challenged publicly," he added.
After the Los Angeles Dodgers’ World Series win, gamblers are turning to presidential election bets. Now legal across the U.S., election betting has surged, with platforms, including Robinhood, accepting wagers. However, concerns have been raised about political betting’s influence on voting behavior.
Trump increased his barrage of personal attacks on Harris at his Nevada rally tonight, calling her "weak," "foolish" and "a child."
"She can’t handle the presidency, she’ll get overwhelmed, melt down, and millions of people will die," Trump said without explanation. "This is not a charity event. This is an election for the biggest and most important job in history."
Harris, of course, has spent four years as vice president.
"Do you want to lose your life savings because we put a weak and foolish person in the White House?" Trump asked. "Do you want to lose your job, or maybe your house or pension, because Kamala has the economic understanding of a child? She's a child."
The Harris campaign has been endorsed by 23 Nobel Prize-winning economists, as well as business leaders such as Mark Cuban, Reid Hoffman and Reed Hastings.
Earlier today, Harris said Trump "does not understand that most people are exhausted with his rhetoric, exhausted with that approach, exhausted with an approach that Donald Trump has that’s trying to divide our country and have Americans point fingers at each other."
Trump said at his Nevada rally that Harris is lying when she says he would undo the Affordable Care Act if he is re-elected.
But moments later, Trump said he was open to making changes to the law and replacing it.
Trump said he "made it good" during his first term, "but it still stinks, OK? If we got something better, I would do it, if it was less expensive. It's too expensive. It is not a very good form of health care."
During his term, Trump repeatedly tried to dismantle major parts of the ACA. He has tried to distance himself from that position during this campaign, including pushing back against House Speaker Mike Johnson's comments this week that there would be "massive" changes to Obamacare if Trump is re-elected, as NBC News has reported. Still, just last month, Trump called the ACA “lousy” and said, “We’re going to replace it."
Harris' remarks in Reno, Nevada, were briefly interrupted this evening, with Harris responding to the people who were shouting, "That's all right."
"What we are looking at is a difference in this election. Let's move forward and see where we are because on the issue, for example, of freedom of choice — " Harris said before shouting could be heard in the crowd. It is unclear what the disruptors were saying.
"That's OK. That's OK. That's all right," Harris said as the crowd roared. "That's all right. That's OK. That's all right."
"You know what?" she continued. "Democracy can be complicated sometimes. It's OK. We're fighting for the right for people to be heard and not jailed because they speak their mind."
Trump praised Robert F. Kennedy Jr. at his rally tonight, saying that the vaccine skeptic would "work on health and women's health" in a second Trump administration.
"Robert F. Kennedy Jr. we have," Trump said, referring to Kennedy's endorsing his campaign. "And he's going to work on health and women's health and all of the different reasons, because we're not really a wealthy or a healthy country."
NBC News has reported that Kennedy might play a large health role in a future Trump administration, according to two sources, one of whom said he would lead an effort to combat "childhood chronic disease."
West Michigan Afghan community leader Reza Mohammady said that participating in this year’s election has been a source of “pride and accomplishment” for his community.
Mohammady sits on the leadership board of the Kateb Cultural and Social Association, a local civic group that serves the region’s growing Afghan community. The approximately 450 registered members hail from Afghanistan or are of Afghan heritage, with the majority identifying with the Hazara ethnic group. Much of his election work has involved translating election materials into Dari, a Persian dialect spoken in Afghanistan.
The community has been “very excited” about this election, Mohammady observed.
“Everybody is looking forward to cast their vote,” he said.
Some of those who voted early expressed to him “how welcoming the poll workers were and how the experience made them feel more connected to their new community,” he told NBC News, a stark contrast from the violence many experience when heading to the polls in Afghanistan.
In West Michigan, some families have brought their children and teenagers to the polls “just to feel it,” Mohammady said. Their hope is that by making voting a family outing, parents can demonstrate “how they can take part in this great example of a democracy” and “feel that they are being fully part of American society.”
Mohammady said he hopes that seeing democracy in action this year will encourage the next generation to vote when they come of age.
At his rally in Nevada, Trump again criticized Biden after Biden appeared to call Trump supporters "garbage." (Biden and the White House clarified that he meant that a comedian who made racist jokes at a Trump event was "garbage.")
"How stupid is a man to say that?" Trump said.
Later, Trump compared Biden's comment to Hillary Clinton’s calling Trump supporters "deplorables" during the 2016 campaign.
"I think, that's worse than 'deplorables,' right? How did that work out for Hillary? I think this is going to work out even worse," Trump said.
After he made the comment, Biden said he was referring to "the hateful rhetoric about Puerto Rico spewed by Trump’s supporter at his Madison Square Garden rally as garbage."
Earlier today, Harris reiterated that she does not believe "that we should ever criticize people based on who they vote for."
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. may be poised to play a key health role in the next administration should Trump be re-elected, according to two people close to the campaign and familiar with the plans.
The current thinking is that the role for Kennedy, the former independent candidate, would be spearheading what one of the people described as the “Operation Warp Speed for childhood chronic disease,” referring to the title of the Covid vaccine development project during Trump’s term.
With just days left before Election Day, the Harris campaign today released two ads, one focused on abortion rights and another on the economy.
In the first ad, the Harris campaign features a 2016 clip of Trump telling MSNBC's Chris Matthews that "there has to be some form of punishment" for women who receive abortions.
A narrator picks up after that, telling viewers: "The punishment is real. Women denied care, unable to get pregnant again, traumatized, scarred for life. Young women who didn’t need to die. Now, 1 3 in three women live under a Trump abortion ban."
The narrator warns, "If he’s elected, everyone will."
Trump has said states should have the ultimate say on whether to restrict abortions. He has also said he would veto a national abortion ban.
The second ad features Harris talking directly to viewers, telling them: "Next January, one of us will be president. If it’s Donald Trump, he will wake up every day and stew over his enemies list. ... If I am president, I’ll be focused on my to-do list for you, the American people."
Trump has repeatedly said he would seek to prosecute his political enemies if he is elected.
As in any neighborhood, members of West Michigan’s Afghan community don’t all agree on whom to vote for. But most believe Trump would be tougher than Harris on the Taliban, a community leader said.
Reza Mohammady is on the leadership board of the Kateb Cultural and Social Association, a civic group that serves the region’s growing Afghan community. The approximately 450 registered members hail from Afghanistan or are of Afghan heritage, with the majority identifying with the Hazara ethnic group.
Mohammady said he believes the Taliban, an extremist organization that oppresses women and minorities and has held the reins of the Afghan government since 2021, won't respond to diplomatic negotiations.
“You have to put pressure on them,” he said. “You have to even use force on them to at least make them ... stop the oppression on people of Afghanistan, minorities, especially women.”
“They are not the people of diplomacy,” he concluded.
Trump has repeatedly attacked the Biden administration as having botched the 2021 U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan. The Biden administration, which was in power when the Taliban took over Afghanistan, has retorted that Biden “was confronted with difficult realities left to him by the Trump Administration.”
“People are optimist[ic] about President Trump, that if he is elected he will definitely bring positive changes,” Mohammady continued. “This is what many of our community members believe in.”
Mohammady said many members of his community don’t have a clear understanding of how Harris would take on the Taliban.
“We haven’t heard much from Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign about Afghanistan,” he said. “We are still not sure how they want to deal with those extremist groups.”
But, he said, some Harris supporters in his community appreciate her proposals on housing affordability and health care.
“The most important thing at the end is the interest of the United States,” Mohammady said. “We understand that we are a part of this country, and we also want what’s to the best interest of this country.”
Biden had a series of calls with Democratic leaders today to talk about the state of races across the country, the White House said.
Biden called the chairs of the Democratic National Committee, Jaime Harrison; the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, Rep. Suzan DelBene of Washington; and the Democratic Governors Association, Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly.
The White House also said Biden called North Carolina Attorney General Josh Stein to wish him good luck in his race for governor against Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson.
Biden has not had a large presence on the campaign trail since he dropped out of the presidential race over the summer. NBC News reported this month that Harris did not have plans to campaign alongside Biden before Election Day. Harris has also not been mentioning Biden recently in her campaign speeches.
Obama is taking his role on the campaign trail beyond the presidential race, surprising volunteers and campaign workers for Angela Alsobrooks' campaign for the Maryland Senate seat today.
Alsobrooks is in a competitive race against Republican former Gov. Larry Hogan. Democrats hold a slim Senate majority, and the Maryland race is one of a handful that could prove decisive in deciding which party controls the chamber.
Obama took Alsobrooks' campaign team donuts and cookies from a local bakery as they worked to get out the vote on the final day of early in-person voting.
He emphasized the importance of the Maryland Senate seat using a football analogy, saying that a team can't just have a quarterback but that it must have the other positions and coaching staff. Obama used the comparison to argue that Democrats need to control Congress for Harris to be able to implement her agenda should she be elected.
Hillary Clinton posted an image on X of Trump wearing a safety vest yesterday in a garbage truck and at one of his rallies.
"Wouldn’t it be great to not have to think about this man ever again? Five more days," she wrote and then linked to a website that helps people figure out how to vote.
Clinton, the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee, beat Trump in the popular vote that year but lost in the Electoral College.
She will campaign for Harris in Tampa, Florida, on Saturday.
"The Avengers" are reassembling to endorse Harris.
In a video posted to social media this afternoon, Scarlett Johansson, Mark Ruffalo, Robert Downey Jr., Don Cheadle, Paul Bettany, Danai Gurira and Chris Evans joined a group video call to brainstorm catchphrases for Harris.
Sharing their joint endorsement on X, Ruffalo — already a vocal advocate for Harris and known for portraying the Hulk — urged his followers to go out and vote.
“Don’t sit this one out,” he wrote. “It’s the one where we will lose big: Project 2025, women’s reproductive rights, climate change, LGBTQIA+ rights, public education, student debt relief, Affordable Care Act, Social Security, and as of today, life saving vaccines.”
Reporting from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Elon Musk’s legal team filed court papers that delayed a potential ruling on a lawsuit over his super PAC’s $1 million lottery-style giveaways.
Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner filed a lawsuit over the contest Monday in state court, but late last night, lawyers for Musk and his America PAC filed papers in federal court to move the matter there, arguing that federal law — not state law — was central to the case.
John Summers, a lawyer representing Krasner, described the development as “cowardly, as well as irresponsible,” at a brief hearing in state court this morning.
Matthew Haverstick, a lawyer representing Musk and the super PAC, defended the substantive merits of the actions. He said the notice of removal was properly filed.
The federal court filing automatically blocked any immediate action in state court, where Judge Angelo Foglietta had already scheduled today’s hearing. Foglietta went ahead with the hearing but acknowledged that the federal filing had stripped him of jurisdiction to hear arguments.
Basketball star LeBron James endorsed Harris on X.
"When I think about my kids and my family and how they will grow up, the choice is clear to me. VOTE KAMALA HARRIS!!!" the post said.
James also posted a video montage of Trump and his supporters, suggesting they've made racist, disparaging and violent comments. It also included images from historical moments.
James endorsed Biden in the 2020 cycle and donated to a committee supporting Barack Obama when he was running for president in 2008.
The Supreme Court today gave short shrift to third-party presidential candidate Cornel West’s request that Pennsylvania officials be required to notify voters at every polling place in the key swing state that he is running.
Justice Samuel Alito, who has responsibility for cases arises from the state, summarily rejected West's emergency application in a brief order.
State officials previously rejected attempts to gain access to the ballot by West, viewed as a spoiler candidate who could draw votes away from Harris. His legal efforts to contest the state’s decision all failed.
West is running as the candidate for the Justice for All Party. His lawyers asked the Supreme Court to require the state to post notices at all polling locations that he is a presidential candidate and that they can write him in on the ballot.
Reporting from Phoenix, Arizona
Harris said today that Trump's remarks this week about protecting women whether they “like it or not” is another sign of how he “devalues” women.
“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 how he devalues the ability of women to have the choice and the freedom to make decisions about their own body,” Harris told NBC News in an exclusive interview.
In an interview with popular podcaster Joe Rogan, Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance suggested he and Donald Trump can win the “normal gay guy vote” and that families with transgender children are looking for an edge in Ivy League college admissions.
“I wouldn’t be surprised if me and Trump won, just, the normal gay guy vote, because, they just wanted to be left the hell alone,” Vance said in the conversation, which lasted more than three hours and was released Thursday. “Now you have all this crazy stuff on top of it that they’re like, ‘No, no, we didn’t want to give pharmaceutical products to 9-year-olds who are transitioning their genders.’”
Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg today endorsed Harris while blasting Trump's "personal integrity."
"I do not agree with Vice President Kamala Harris on every issue, but earlier this week, I voted for her without hesitation," Bloomberg wrote in a column published on Bloomberg News, outlining a number of policy positions he agrees with Harris on, including abortion, public health and public safety.
Bloomberg, a former Republican and independent who briefly ran for president as a Democrat in 2020, said some of her economic policies are "politically driven," but "would do far less damage to consumers and businesses — and to the national debt — than Trump’s."
As for the former president, he wrote, "Trump is not fit for high office." He said he made the U.S. look like "a banana republic" with his efforts to stay in power after losing the last election.
He said for Trump, "nothing — not America, not our Constitution, not democracy, not the rule of law, not the lives of police officers or any other citizen — matters more than his own vanity and glory."
Detroit City Clerk Janice Winfrey is anticipating 290,000 Detroit residents will vote in the 2024 election — a 53% turnout expectation that would surpass 2020's 51% citywide turnout.
The 2024 general election is the first in which Michigan voters can vote early in-person, with 22,000 casting ballots so far and 81,000 returning absentee ballots.
In addition to higher turnout, the city has heightened its security, with 10 officers strategically located inside the absentee tabulation center where chaotic protests broke out in 2020 “in the event that we have a disturbance or someone violates or deviates from Michigan election law."
Added security precautions, like installing bullet-resistant glass at the city's department of elections, are necessary due to the unrest in 2020, said elections director Daniel Baxter.
"The world was upside down. We had a turbulent America going on at the time, but we didn’t anticipate the type of shenanigans that occurred during that time," he told reporters. "We expect and hope for the best, and we’ve planned for the worst."
Winfrey, the city clerk, said she once thought her personal police escort was "overkill."
"But when they came to my home, they came to my home in 2020 and threatened my life because they thought that I had something to do with the fact that Trump lost, then it became different for me," she said.
Asked during a press conference about the focus on voter fraud in democratic cities like Detroit, Baxter said race is a factor.
"It’s because we are a Black city," said Baxter. "I think that when you look at some of the attacks that have been made on communities like Philadelphia, Detroit, Atlanta, those type of communities, that’s where Black people live, that’s where Black folk are administrators over the process, and that is why we get attacked so often."
Due to a measure passed during the 2022 midterms, local clerks in Michigan can opt to pre-process absentee ballots ahead of election day, which officials hope will lead to faster results and fewer conspiracy theories on election night.
Both parties are zeroing in on different issues as they make their closing arguments in the battles for the House and Senate, with Democrats leaning into abortion and Republicans focusing on immigration.
Abortion is the most-mentioned topic in Democratic closing ads, followed by immigration, health care, bipartisanship, and taxation, according to an analysis of more than 300 TV ads from candidates and joint ads they ran with party committees. The analysis looked at ads, tracked by AdImpact, that aired Wednesday in competitive House and Senate races.
Immigration is the top topic in Republican ads, followed by Vice President Kamala Harris, taxation, President Joe Biden, and candidate character.
Democrats have gone all in on abortion: Every Democratic campaign in a competitive Senate race mentioned the issue in an ad on Wednesday, less than one week from Election Day.
Reporting from New York City
The Democrat trying to unseat Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio is out with an ad featuring former Ohio State University wrestlers who say the powerful Republican failed to protect them from a sexual predator when he was the assistant wrestling coach from 1986 to 1994.
Tamie Wilson, a first-time candidate, has made the allegations that Jordan turned a blind eye to Dr. Richard Strauss' abuse of the athletes a centerpiece of her campaign.
Jordan, a chairman of the House Judiciary Committee and ardent supporter of former President Donald Trump, has insisted repeatedly that he had no idea Strauss was preying on the wrestlers, going so far as to say he never even heard any locker room talk about the abusive doctor.
NBC News has reached out to Jordan for comment on the ad.
Dozens of former OSU wrestlers say Jordan betrayed them and there is no way he didn't know what was going on.
Strauss, who died in 2005, was accused of preying on hundreds of men who attended the university from the 1970s through the 1990s, mostly under the guise of performing medical exams.
OSU has admitted it failed to protect students from Strauss and has already paid out $60 million in settlement money to 296 victims.
A U.S. House panel on the pandemic is sending a criminal referral of former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo to the Department of Justice, alleging he made “criminally false statements” during closed-door testimony in June 2024.
The Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic sent a letter Wednesday to U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland accusing the former governor of providing false statements to the panel when he testified on June 11.
In the Republican-led committee’s referral, it says Cuomo “knowingly and willfully made materially false statements” to the panel during its investigation into the New York’s Covid-19 response. The statements in question stem from exchanges about a New York state Department of Health report on nursing home infections and deaths that was released on July 6, 2020.
At a rally today in New Mexico, the former president addressed Biden's comment which appeared to call Trump's supporters "garbage" as he imitated an imaginary phone call between Harris and Biden.
"Do you think [Harris] feels good about the language that [Biden’s] been using lately, like calling us all garbage? Can you imagine the phone calls?" Trump asked the crowd.
"‘What the hell are you doing, Joe? Please, Joe, I’m trying. Joe, I’m at a big disadvantage. I’m at a big -- you know -- they say I’m not smart, then you go and you make it more difficult for me, Joe. What are you doing?’" Trump added, imitating Harris.
Biden and the White House have insisted that the president was referring to one particular Trump supporter: comedian Tony Hinchcliffe, who made a racist joke about Puerto Rico at Trump's Madison Square Garden rally on Sunday.
Then, he imitated Biden responding to the imaginary Harris call, saying, "‘Well, that’s the way I feel.’”
Earlier in the rally, Trump also compared Harris to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who he ran against in 2016.
"There’s one big difference between crooked Hillary and Kamala," Trump told attendees. "Hillary was far more intelligent, but Hillary didn’t lie as much. Hillary was a liar and a scoundrel and a horrible human being, but she didn’t lie as much as Kamala."
The only people more superstitious than sports fans might be political junkies, and with five days left until Election Day, some might see signs from the sports gods pointing towards a Harris victory.
The first domino fell Sunday, when the Washington Commanders defeated the Chicago Bears on a last-second Hail Mary touchdown pass.
Historically, when the Commanders (née Redskins) have won their last home game before Election Day, the incumbent party has gone on to win. The rule goes back to 1932, with some exceptions (notably both previous elections involving Trump — also a time period in which the Washington football franchise was historically inept).
But two sports dynasties may hold other clues: In 2020, the Kansas City Chiefs won their first Super Bowl in 50 years, and the Los Angeles Dodgers later claimed the world Series. Trump lost. This year? The Kansas City Chiefs — backed by Harris-endorser Taylor Swift — won again. So too the Dodgers, last night.
Are the sports gods pointing toward another Trump loss?
The advocacy arm of the pro-Trump America First Policy Institute, America First Works, said in a press release that it has made contact with 10 million voters in the key battleground state of Pennsylvania in its get-out-the-vote effort.
They counted contacts as being from door-to-door canvassing as well as text messages.
The group said that it began reaching out to potential voters in Pennsylvania more than a year ago and ramped up efforts since June with more than 1,000 canvassers. AFW also said that it reached 858,000 Pennsylvania voters from canvassing.
In addition, it announced yesterday that it had made more than 5 million voter visits in eight battleground states since late June, including in Pennsylvania.
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said this morning that he had spoken to Trump by phone and wished him luck in the election.
The former president and Orbán have been allies for a while, and Trump even hosted him at Mar-a-Lago earlier this year.
NBC News reached out to the Trump campaign for comment on the call.
VERMILION, Ohio — Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, is fighting for his political life, locked in what polls show as a dead heat between him and Republican businessman Bernie Moreno.
Their clash has already drawn more ad spending than any other Senate race in history, eclipsing the $412 million spent in Georgia’s 2020 race between Jon Ossoff and David Perdue. The Brown-Moreno battle is about to surpass $500 million, according to the tracking firm AdImpact.
Brown’s survival, and possibly partisan control of the Senate, hinges on split-ticket voters in a state that twice backed former President Donald Trump by healthy margins — and likely will again next week. While Moreno clings to Trump, Brown tends to avoid talking too much about national political figures from either party.
Each candidate, meanwhile, has homed in on a hot-button issue that he believes can tilt the race in his favor.
Several Democratic governors are showing their support for the Harris campaign by channeling her running mate — and his fashion sense — for Halloween.
"Boo! This Halloween, my fellow govs and I decided to dress up as the least scary guy we know, @Tim_Walz!" New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy wrote on X, posting a shot of himself posing with an adjustable wrench and his cap askew behind the open hood of an automobile. Maine Gov. Janet Mills posted a similar shot.
The posts, which link to the Democratic National Committee's voter assistance website, feature split screens of the governors and Walz in his various roles — as a high school teacher, a football coach, and, in Murphy's case, a mechanic.
"This Halloween, I’ve got my game face on to elect @KamalaHarris and Coach @Tim_Walz on November 5th, Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey wrote in a post of herself in a headset, holding a football and clipboard.
Not to be outdone, Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer also got in on the costuming, donning a University of Minnesota cap in a pose with Michigan's first dogs — themselves dressed as piglets to mimic the corresponding photo of Walz holding an actual one.
Harris will hold a rally and concert in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, tomorrow evening with performances by GloRilla, Flo Milli, MC Lyte, DJ GEMINI GILLY and The Isley Brothers and featuring remarks by Cardi B.
The event is part of a series of campaign events leading up to Election Day aimed at mobilizing voters.
"These artists and public figures are trusted voices for millions of Americans, who listen to their music, follow them on social media, or otherwise are inspired by them," the campaign said in a release.
Other events have featured former President Barack Obama and musician Bruce Springsteen.
Walz responded during a campaign rally in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, today to Trump’s comments last night about protecting women “whether they like it or not."
“Last night, Donald Trump said that if you’re a woman, I’ll be your protector," Walz began. "And he also said that — imagine that — this was a moment of self reflection for him. He says, I know a lot of people don’t like that. Well, no s---they don’t like that. But here’s the scary part, people …, he said, I’m going to do it whether the women like it or not. That’s how this guy’s lived his life. That’s why he was on the 'Access Hollywood' tape, and that’s why he ended up in court.”
Walz added, “I have to say, this feeling of women right now in this — every age, every party — here’s what’s going to happen on Tuesday: They are going to send a loud and clear message to Donald Trump on November 5th. They’re going to send that message whether he likes it or not.”
Vance warned at an event in High Point, North Carolina, this morning that another world war could develop if Harris is elected president.
At the town hall event, hosted by Turning Point PAC, Vance claimed, without elaborating, that the U.S. is on the precipice of broader regional wars and “potentially even a world war.”
“Do you want a person like Kamala Harris negotiating in private rooms with people like Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping?" said Vance, who then asked if they want a person like Trump in that position. "I think the answer to that question is obvious.”
Later in the event, Vance said that he doesn't think it's an "exaggeration" to say the U.S. is heading toward World War 3. "I think that we are sleepwalking ourselves into World War III. And if you go back to all of the really terrible world conflicts, they almost always come from incompetent leadership," he said.
It's the same claim that Trump has been making for a while, including when he first kicked off his re-election campaign.
Vance also slammed former Vice President Dick Cheney and his daughter Liz Cheney — both Republicans who have endorsed Harris — saying that when he was in high school, he didn't realize that lot of innocent American
