Trump peddles lies and bashes Harris to thousands of supporters at surreal MSG rally: Election live updates

Donald Trump peddled lies and bashed Vice President Kamala Harris during a campaign rally at Madison Square Gardens on Sunday.

The Republican nominee was joined by an army of speakers, which included vice presidential nominee and Ohio Senator JD Vance, billionaire Elon Musk, and former Fox News host Tucker Carlson. Even his wife, Melania, made an unexpected appearance.

The crowd of hundreds, which packed New York City streets ahead of the rally, erupted as the president took the stage and spoke in the deep-blue city. Despite the political leaning, the MAGA crowd made its presence known in Midtown.

“I will end inflation. I will stop the invasion of criminals coming into our country. And I will bring back the American dream, we need the American dream to come back home,” Trump said.

Trump’s Manhattan rally comes as Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, announced a swing state blitz in the last few days before Election Day. Harris spent Sunday visiting several places in the Philadelphia area. Both the vice president and Walz are set to head to Wisconsin and Michigan on Monday.

Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has asked her Puerto Rican Democratic followers to widely share a clip of MAGA pdocaster Tony Hinchcliffe’s racist remarks about Puerto Rico to their families in an effort to convince them not to back Donald Trump in the upcoming election.

Hinchcliffe called Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage” during a speech he gave to open Donald Trump’s Sunday campaign rally at Madison Square Garden. He also made vulgar and racist remarks about Latinos in general.

She cut detractors claiming she’s overly-sensitive off at the pass, saying she “doesn’t give a s*** about crude humor,” but was annoyed that Hinchcliffe didn’t “own” his words when he insisted he was making fun of “everyone” during his opening set.

00:28 , Graig Graziosi

Donald Trump suggested a bill that would see individuals who burn the American flag put in jail for a year.

The burning of the flag is a protected means of protest, and to criminalize it would be to limit Americans’ free speech rights — rights that people like Trump and his new buddy, Elon Musk, frequently claim they champion.

Trump spends several minutes gushing about Elon Musk and his rocket ships, says he’ll let RFK Jr “go wild” on everything but oil and gas industry

00:08 , Graig Graziosi

Donald Trump spent several minutes rambling about Elon Musk and how impressed he was by a Space X rocket. He claimed Musk’s “dark MAGA” hat was the top selling MAGA hat the week after he debuted it.

He then said he was going to let Robert F Kennedy “go wild” on health, but said he was going to keep him away from the “liquid gold” — the oil and gas industry.

Trump then praised former First Lady Melania Trump for having the “best-selling book in the universe,” and admitted that he was worried about what she might write about him in the book.

He continued praising his family, including his youngest son Barron, who he called the “king of the internet.”

Ricky Martin, Republican lawmakers push back against MAGA podcaster’s racist remarks about Puerto Rico

00:03 , Graig Graziosi

Puerto Rican singer Ricky Martin told Americans to vote for Kamala Harris after Tony Hinchcliffe, a MAGA podcaster who opened Donald Trump’s rally on Sunday, called Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage” and made vulgar and racist comments about Latinos.

“This is what they think of us,” he wrote in Spanish to his 18.6 million Instragram followers. “Vote for @kamalaharris.”

He wasn’t the only one upset by the podcaster’s remarks; two Republican lawmakers who represent Latinos also pushed back on his comments.

Representative Jenniffer González-Colón, Puerto Rico’s nonvoting member of Congress and a Republican, called the comments “despicable, ill-advised and disgusting.”

She went on to say that there was “no place for such abominable and racist comments like those.”

Senator Rick Scott and Representative Maria Salazar also criticized the remarks in a statement.

“This rhetoric does not reflect GOP values,” Salazar wrote. “Puerto Rico sent 48,000+ soldiers to Vietnam, with over 345 Purple Hearts awarded. This bravery deserves respect.”

Melania Trump makes shock appearance at her husband’s Madison Square Garden rally

Melania Trump took the stage at her husband’s New York City rally to “Paradise City” by Guns n’ Roses, then launched into a bleak, but misguided, diatribe about how bad things are in the Big Apple — and the rest of the country.

GnR frontman Axl Rose has spoken out against Donald Trump’s use of the band’s songs, without permission, at his public appearances.

“Hello Madison Square Garden!” the former first lady began, calling the metropolis “the world’s undisputed capital of industry, where titans of finance, fashion, and entertainment convene.” New York is an “unforgiving” city, Melania went on, apparently empathizing with the audience about how “our lives are complicated, even during the best of times.”

Trump says Kamala Harris is “merely a vessel” for the “radical left machine,” once again warns about “enemy from within"

Sunday 27 October 2024 23:55 , Graig Graziosi

Donald Trump has once again invoked the phrase “enemy from within” to describe a nameless, unknown group of political opponents who he claims secretly runs the Democratic Party.

He said that Vice President Kamala Harris was “merely a vessel” of the “radical left machine.”

Harris was largely opposed by progressive voters — a group that is generally considered further left than mainstream Democrats — during her presidential primary campaign, and spent much of her professional life as a prosecutor.

Trump says we’re “very close to World War III,” absurdly suggests draft would be reintroduced under Harris

Sunday 27 October 2024 23:48 , Graig Graziosi

Donald Trump claimed that the US was “very close to World War III,” and said that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel would not have occurred if he had been president.

“All those people would be alive,” Trump claimed.

He then pivoted to inflation, claiming there would have been no inflation under his presidency. He said inflation was caused in part by government overspending on the “Green New Scam” — referencing the Green New Deal — which is incorrect.

Trump then insinuated that Kamala Harris would lead the US into another war, and baselessly suggested that the draft might be reintroduced under her leadership.

There is no evidence to believe that the draft will be reintroduced.

Trump said that he “got along” with the world leaders, and claimed he told Russian President Vladimir Putin “don’t go in” to Ukraine.

Trump lies about federal hurricane response

Sunday 27 October 2024 23:40 , Graig Graziosi

Donald Trump is blatant lying to the crowd at Madison Square Garden. He claimed thee was “nobody” doing hurricane relief work in North Carolina after Hurricane Helene.

Trump said that the federal government could not help in North Carolina because it spent all of its disaster relief funds flying illegal immigrants into the US on “jets.”

FEMA has been active in North Carolina following the hurriance, and no FEMA disaster relief funds were used to fly migrants into the US or house them at the southern border. Trump is repeating a long-debunked lie that he and other Republicans have been pushing since Hurricane Helene.

He claimed the response to Hurricane Helene was worse than the response to Hurricane Katrina.

Trump lies, says Kamala Harris imported “criminal migrants” from “prisons and insane asylums ... all over the world"

Sunday 27 October 2024 23:35 , Graig Graziosi

Donald Trump said Kamala Harris has “orchestrated the most egregious betrayal” of any American leader, claiming she has unleashed “migrant gangs” into the US to terrorize Americans.

He falsely claimed that she, specifically, brought “criminal migrants” from “prisons and insane asylums” from “all over the world.”

There is no evidence of his claim.

“The day I take the oath of office, the migrant invasion of our country ends, and the restoration of our country begins,” Trump said.

He then alleged that a Venezuelan prison gang “took over” Times Square as well as apartment complexes across the country, and played a video collecting highlights of incidents in which migrants committed crimes.

“That’s who we’re allowing into our country. We’re not going to have a country any longer,” Trump said.

He called the US an “occupied country,” but said the day after he becomes president will be known as “liberation day,” during which he will enact the largest deportation program in US history.

Trump said in order to enact his deportation program, he would enact the “Alien Enemies Act of 1789,” and he would call for the death penalty for any illegal migrant who kills a US citizen or a law enforcement officer, which was met with “USA” chants.

Trump: “This will be America’s new golden age,” talks taxes and claims he’ll cut Americans’ energy bills in half within one year

Sunday 27 October 2024 23:25 , Graig Graziosi

Donald Trump said that his possible next term would usher in “America’s new golden age,” and said that it would happen “very quickly” once he takes office.

He said “Kamala Harris, you’re fired,” — invoking his Apprentice catch-phrase — to wild applause.

Trump accused Kamala Harris, specifically, of causing inflation, pushing for higher taxes, and killing jobs. Harris, even if she wanted to, has no such power to do any of what he claims.

The former president said he would “massively cut taxes,” including “no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, and no tax on Social Security benefits for our seniors.”

He also announced a tax credit program for caregivers who are taking care of a parent or family member, and said he’d make interest on car loans tax deductible, so long as the car is made in the US.

He provided no details as to how any of those programs would work.

Trump also said the US would achieve energy independence, and claimed that within one year he’d cut Americans’ energy prices in half — via “drill baby drill” policies.

She then introduced her husband.

Tesla and X CEO Elon Musk called for Republicans to make the margin of victory for Donald Trump in the 2024 election “so big that you know what can’t happen.”

His unsubtle omission suggested that Democrats would try to steal the election from Trump if the former president doesn’t win in 2024 by an overwhelming majority of votes.

Musk, who Trump has tapped to help allegedly reduce “waste” in the federal government through the “department of government efficiency,” said he thought he could help the US save “two trillion dollars.”

He called all federal spending “taxation.”

After explaining how he intended to gut the federal government, the crowd chanted “Elon.” The Tesla CEO ate up the adoration, saying “this is the kind of positive energy America is all about,” before leading a “USA” chant.

Donald Trump Jr speaks at MSG, calls his father “king of New York,” suggests Democrats are “replacing” American voters

Sunday 27 October 2024 22:47 , Graig Graziosi

Donald Trump Jr followed his brother Eric to the stage at Donald Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally.

He called his father the “king of New York,” and said he would “reclaim the city that he built.”

Trump Jr expressed skepticism that the daughter of a “Marxist professor” — Kamala Harris — would govern as a “moderate.”

He boasted about his father’s term in office, bragging on the economy and the fact that Russia hadn’t invaded Ukraine. He then asked why Harris hadn’t done more to fix the US while she was in office, despite it being well understood — including by Trump himself — that vice presidents do not possess the power to unilaterally make sweeping legislative changes.

Trump Jr then boasted about his father being a “bada**,” for getting up after he was “shot in the face.”

The former president’s ear was grazed.

Trump Jr then hinted at the Great Replacement conspiracy theory, suggesting that Democrats were “replacing” American voters with voters who would be more supportive. The Great Replacement conspiracy suggests that Democrats are allowing illegal immigrants into the country with the expectation that they will vote for them in elections, with the idea being that “real” Americans — a dogwhistle for white conservatives — will be drowned out as a powerful voting demographic.

Eric and Lara Trump make an appearance at Donald Trump’s rally

Sunday 27 October 2024 22:36 , Graig Graziosi

Conjuring images of Gob Bluth’s oft-failed “illusions,” Donald Trump’s son Eric and his wife Lara arrived at the former president’s rally walking out to “The Final Countdown.”

He claimed that Democrats tried to take away Trump’s free speech when he was banned on social media sites — a decision Democrats had no hand in — and that they enagaged in “lawfare” to try to throw his father in prison.

The younger Trump managed some restraint, however — he said that “someone,” and not explicitly Democrats, tried to kill his father earlier this year. Many of the other speakers on Sunday did not make that distinction.

Eric said that his father would not only “make America great again, he’s going to make New York City great again.”

“The best days of this nation are ahead of us,” he said.

Lara, who serves as the co-chair of the RNC, then took the podium.

She played to the crowd, calling New York City the “greatest city,” and said that while “New York made Donald Trump,” that “Donald Trump made New York City.”

Lara then bragged on Trump’s alleged “toughness,” praising his mugshot as the “greatest mugshot in the history of the world” and insisted that it was New York City that made him tough.

Sunday 27 October 2024 22:27 , Graig Graziosi

Donald Trump’s running mate, Ohio Senator JD Vance, speaks at Madison Square Garden

Sunday 27 October 2024 22:22 , Graig Graziosi

Ohio Senator JD Vance, Donald Trump’s running mate, boosted him on Sunday, despite previously worrying the former president might become “America’s Hitler.”

Vance said he “felt bad” for Governor Tim Walz, and asked the crowd to “spare a prayer” for him because he has the “hardest job in American politics.”

His point was interrupted by a “Tampon Tim” chant from the crowd.

Vance continued, saying Walz has to “convince the American people that Kamala Harris is going to fix” the “problems” she and Biden allegedly caused over the last four years.

The senator said his “favorite” Harris moment is when she refers to growing up in a “middle class family,” insisting that she rests on her past to dodge questions. He suggested Harris never actually worked at a McDonald’s, and claimed Trump might have worked at a McDonald’s longer than she had. That quip was a reference to a staged appearance by Trump cooking fries at a McDonald’s restaurant.

Dr Phil speaks at Trump rally, says former president is “tougher than nail,” laments supposed loss of free speech

Sunday 27 October 2024 22:13 , Graig Graziosi

Dr Phil McGraw, the iconic TV psychologist, boosted Donald Trump at his rally on Sunday.

He said the former president was “tough as nails” and then lamented, what he claims, is a loss of free speech in the US.

Dr Phil then spoke on bullying, likening Republican voters to the victims of schoolyard bullying at the hands of Democrats.

He encouraged people not to be a “bystander” to “bullying,” which he likened to people “calling [Republican’s] jobs” to get them fired. Dr Phil insisted that Republicans are afraid to voice their opinions.

“We have to stand proud to help our neighbors to vote their conscience,” he said, encouraging conservatives to push back against boycotts of conservative businesses and advertisers who drop conservative clients.

He also encouraged the crowd to lead by example and love Americans who are voting “the other way.” His advice was met with tepid applause.

Sunday 27 October 2024 21:53 , Graig Graziosi

Former WWE wrestler Hulk Hogan spoke at Donald Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally.

He started by welcoming the voters to the “house that Hulkamania built,” referencing the fact that much of his early WWE career highlights occurred in Madison Square Garden.

He kept calling Trump supporters “Trumpamaniacs,” referencing his fans, who he used to call “Hulkamaniacs.”

Hogan said he didn’t see “no stinking Nazis in here” or “domestic terrorists in here,” the latter likely a reference to the Capitol riot convicts, which includes militia members who were convicted of seditious conspiracy.

Earlier this year, Hogan asked a Republican crowd if they wanted to see him “drop the leg” on Kamala Harris — a reference to his finishing move — after which he walked it back, noting that he was going to “get heat” for the comment.

“Whatcha gonna do about the border invasion? Whatcha gonna do about inflation? Whatcha gonna do about keeping America safe, brother?” Hogan asked, to which the crowd replied “vote Trump.”

Tucker Carlson boosts Trump at rally despite previously saying he “passionately hated” the former president

Sunday 27 October 2024 21:45 , Graig Graziosi

Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson received a warm reception at Donald Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally, noting that he once saw the Grateful Dead at the venue.

He compared Trump returning to New York City to someone getting kicked out of a bar and a bouncer being embarassed for throwing “the most popular person at the bar” out.

“Donald Trump’s going to win,” Carlson said.

Private texts from Carlson that were made public during the Dominion Voting Systems defamation trial showed him saying he “passionately hated” Trump.

He accused Democrats of trying to “destroy the country” for four years because they’re “mad at his voters.”

He said people like Trump for two reasons; because he “likes them,” and because Trump has “liberated us from the obligation to tell lies.”

Carlson called Democrats the “single most useless people in the United States.”

He also called Vice President Kamala Harris a “metaphor” for the “system [Democrats] created to make themselves rich and powerful.”

“[Donald Trump] has give us the right to call BS on the charade,” Carlson said.

The former Fox host claimed that “every high school senior in the country” would back Trump.

RFK Jr speaks at Trump rally, says Democratic Party was the “party of the CIA"

Robert F Kennedy Jr — fresh off a scandal involving him carrying on a relationship with a reporter and bizarre stories about his dead brain worms, a dead bear cub, and a dead whale carcass — spoke in support of Donald Trump on Sunday.

RFK Jr initially tried to primary Joe Biden but then ran as an independent. He ultimately dropped out backed Trump.

“I didn’t leave the Democratic Party, the Democratic Party left me,” he told the cheering crowd.

He said that the modern Democratic Party was the “party of war, the party of the CIA,” and was “dismantling women’s sports by letting men play women’s sports.”

“We don’t even know how Kamala Harris received the nomination,” RFK Jr said.

He also accused the Democrats of giving us the “sickest children in the world,” though it is typically Republicans who oppose agricultural and food production regulations.

The former primary candidate claimed that Trump would “rebuild the middle class,” despite the fact that Trump’s tax cut was responsible for a massive transfer of wealth from the middle class to the richest Americans during his term.

Former US Rep Tulsi Gabbard says voting for Harris will end in “nuclear war"

Sunday 27 October 2024 21:25 , Graig Graziosi

The parade of defeated primary opponents continued at Donald Trump’s New York rally; former US Representative Tulsi Gabbard — who failed a Democratic presidential primary run in 2020 — took the stage. Gabbard recently announced she was joining the Republican Party.

“A vote for Kamala Harris is a vote for Dick Cheney,” Gabbard said, claiming that it was a vote for “nucelar war.”

She insited that Trump would keep the US out of war and would stop the nation’s involvement in ongoing conflicts around the world.

Former Vice President Dick Cheney and his daughter, Former Representative Liz Cheney, have both voiced their opposition to Trump.

She also claimed a vote for Harris was a vote for “censorship” and the “erosion” of American’s Constitutional rights.

Vivek Ramaswamy hits on DEI policies, repeats anti-trans talking points in Trump rally speech

Sunday 27 October 2024 21:19 , Graig Graziosi

Defeated GOP presidential hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy — whose early primary campaign was focused on criticizing Trump — spoke in support of Trump at his Madison Square Garden rally.

Ramaswamy took aim at “DEI” policies and “woke” ideology during his speech.

He also said that Election Day should be a national holiday, and that only single-day voting with paper ballots should be allowed for the sake of election security. There is no evidence that early voting or mail-in voting is any less secure than day of voting.

“If you want to seal the border, vote Trump,” Ramaswamy said. “If you want to prevent World War III, vote Trump.”

He then pandered to Black Americans, insisting that Trump’s America First agenda also included them. He attempted to do the same with gay voters, but then repeated anti-trans talking points, including accusing doctors of performing “chemical castrations” on children.

Ramaswamy told Gen Z voters that being a “real rebel” was saying they are conservative and want to have families.

The crowd shouted “no” after each of Johnson’s questions.

He then claimed that Democrats were “Marxists.”

“This is not your father’s Democratic Party,” he said, claiming that modern Democrats wanted to turn the USA into a “European-style, Marxist, borderless utopia,” to which the crowd booed.

As the sun sets on Kamala Harris’s Brat summer, Donald Trump is motoring full steam ahead into Brovember.

Surrounded by middle-aged campaign aides, the former president turned to an unlikely source to court young male voters: his youngest son and his influencer best friend.

Despite barely being old enough to vote, 18-year-olds Bo Loudon and Barron Trump were unofficially recruited into team Trump to help the oldest presidential candidate in history tap into the manosphere and capture the “bro vote”.

Earlier this year Trump, 78, began experimenting with the new audience by engaging with YouTubers and podcasters, many of whom are sympathetic towards the MAGA movement.

Miller is widely believed to be the architech of Trump’s immigration agenda.

Within moments of speaking he said that illegal immigrants had destroyed the lives of Americans.

“He was fighting for your children, for your wives, for your husbands, for everyone you love in the world,” Miller said.

He then insisted that “criminal migrants” and gangs were “raping” children every day, before proclaiming that America was for “Americans only.”

Questions about GOP candidate’s medical discharge fuel talk about bullet wound scandal

Sunday 27 October 2024 20:30 , John Bowden

The Montana Senate race is increasingly being dominated by talk of scandal as the election enters its final week and Democrats make their last push to defend a crucial incumbency.

Jon Tester and Tim Sheehy are separated by single digits in the only race where a Republican challenger has been consistently leading a Democratic Senate incumbent. Tester, who has represented the state since 2007, has trailed his opponent by a significant margin for several months, though a The Hill/Emerson poll released earlier this month showed that gap possibly narrowing in his favor.

It’s a race that could decide which party controls the Senate in the upcoming year.

Former Donald Trump attorney and New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani takes the stage, repeats conspiracy theories and misinformation

Sunday 27 October 2024 20:07 , Graig Graziosi

Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani — fresh off a judge’s decision to turn over his property to Georgia election workers he defamed — took the stage at Madison Square Garden for Donald Trump’s rally.

He started with an impression of Pope John Paul II calling New York city great.

Within a minute of being on the stage, he had referenced 9/11 and the New York Yankees.

Giuliani bungled a reference to East Palestine, Ohio by calling it “New Palestine” and referenced a “subway derailment.” East Palestine was the victim of a Norfolk Southern train carrying toxic chemicals that derailed and polluted the city. There is no subway system in East Palestine.

The former mayor then discussed 9/11 again and likened it to the October 7 Hamas attack in Israel. He said he was “on the side of Israel” and claimed that Palestinians were taught from the age of 2 to kill Americans.

At one point Giuliani said “I’m not gonna do conspiracy, but I’m not not gonna do conspiracy,” after which he immediately posited the baseless conspiracy theory that Democrats were behind the assassination attempt on Trump, saying “they better not do it again.”

Vice President Kamala Harris spoke at the Church of Christian Compassion during a campaign visit to Philadelphia on Sunday morning.

“Here in Pennsylvania, right now each of us has an opportunity to make a difference. Because in this moment we do face a real question. What kind of country to we we want to live in,” she said. “The great thing about living in a democracy is we the people have the choice to answer that question. So let us answer not just with our words, but with our works.”

Harris has spent several days campaigning in the Delaware Valley over the last week.

She urged the churchgoers to go to vote.

“In just nine days we have the power to decide the fate of our nation for generations to come,” she said.

Trump Attorney Alina Habba takes stage at Trump rally

Sunday 27 October 2024 19:31 , Graig Graziosi

Donald Trump’s attorney, Alina Habba, is speaking at his Madison Square Garden rally. She walked out to a Ludacris song.

She, like all of the other speakers thus far, took a jab at Hillary Clinton for calling his rally a “Nazi rally” and pandered to the crowd by chanting “fight fight fight.”

Habba accused Democrats of engaging in “lawfare” and insisted that lawsuits aimed at investigating Trump’s alleged crimes were not just Democrats coming from Trump, but coming for “all of us.”

Sunday 27 October 2024 19:30 , Gustaf Kilander

With just days left until Election Day, three out of four Americans say in a new survey that US democracy is currently under threat.

That’s according to a recent New York Times/Siena College poll. While 76 percent of Americans say democracy is imperiled, they the cause varies significantly based on partisan leanings.

Meanwhile, 49 percent say that US democracy does a good job of representing the people, with 45 percent saying the opposite.

Most voters – 62 percent – also think that the government is beset by corruption and is mostly working for itself or to benefit elites.

First speaker: Tony Hinchcliffe of the “Kill Tony Podcast"

Sunday 27 October 2024 18:58 , Graig Graziosi

The first speaker during Donald Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally is a comedian named Tony Hinchcliffe of the “Kill Tony Podcast.”

He started his set by shilling for Mike Lindell’s “MyPillow” pillows, and told the crowd he bought four of them.

He called Puerto Rico — which is part of the US, and Puerto Ricans are Americans — a “floating pile of garbage in the middle of the ocean,” and said that Latinos “love making babies” and don’t “pull out,” but “come inside, like they did our country.”

Earlier in his set, he admitted that early in his career he was forced to sleep in a car outside the Comedy Store in LA.

Leonardo DiCaprio shares presidential endorsement as 2024 election approaches

Sunday 27 October 2024 18:30 , Kevin E G Perry

Leonardo DiCaprio has endorsed Kamala Harris in next month’s presidential election, arguing that her rival Donald Trump “continues to deny the facts” and “deny the science” around climate change.

The Oscar-winning actor, 49, previously endorsed Joe Biden ahead of the 2020 presidential election.

In a video posted to his Instagram account, DiCaprio said he was basing his decision on seeing the effects of climate change hit the United States.

“Earlier this month, hurricanes Helene and Milton devastated parts of Florida, Georgia and North Carolina,” he said. “Families lost homes, livelihoods and loved ones to some of the strongest Atlantic hurricanes ever recorded. These storms have done an estimated $100 billion in damage. And make no mistake, these unnatural disasters were caused by climate change.”

Lauren Boebert’s new district: ‘The flower people are all Democrats, and the veggie people are all Republicans’

Sunday 27 October 2024 17:30 , Sheila Flynn

Nearly 240 miles east of Lauren Boebert’s former stronghold Rifle, past the Rockies and onto the Colorado plains, the high school homecoming parade in the Republican’s newly-adopted town marched a circular route last week – twice passing a corner yard with a Harris/Walz sign declaring: “UNITY OVER DIVISION.”

Boebert’s arrival with her sons has sparked the opposite in Windsor, a community of just under 43,000 people about an hour north of Denver. Her relocation here from the Western Slope was divisive in itself – not just between Democrats and Republicans but also among loyal GOP voters – when she announced quietly during last year’s holiday season that she would abandon her re-election campaign in CD3 in favor of a run on the other side of the state.

That placed her in a district she knew nothing about, where she’d never lived and where well-connected, well-respected local Republicans eyeing congressional bids themselves took great umbrage – along with their loyal supporters and those on the other side of the political spectrum.

Magic the Gathering fans explain why JD Vance’s favorite deck reflects badly on him

Sunday 27 October 2024 16:30 , Io Dodds

JD Vance’s favorite Magic: The Gathering card as a 13-year-old boy in Middleton, Ohio might tell us more about Vance the 40-year-old possible vice president of the United States than he realizes.

A clawed metal hand, beckoning for sacrifices. A necromantic monstrosity hunched in the darkness, white teeth showing through its skull. A terrible pact, and an ominous warning: “He craves only one commodity.”

This is the infamous trading card known as “Yawgmoth’s Bargain”, part of the popular collectible card game. Released in 1999, it has long since been banned from most forms of competitive Magic due to its ability to not just ensure a win, but also entirely take over a game to the point where nothing is fun anymore

Vance, Donald Trump’s 2024 running mate, revealed this August that he’d been something of a hobbyist sorcerer in his teenage years.

Can Kamala Harris beat Donald Trump? Latest poll updates

Sunday 27 October 2024 15:30 , Alicja Hagopian

In just 11 days, Vice President Kamala Harris will go head-to-head with Donald Trump, as Americans cast their votes in the 2024 election.

The final New York Times/Siena College poll before the election has Trump and Harris in a deadlock, with each at 48 percent of the vote.

This could be the closest election in several decades. The race only became tighter in the past month, with what appears to be two unmovable camps of support.

Neither candidate is clearly leading in the battleground states, meaning that the Electoral College hangs in the balance.

JD Vance appeared on CNN’s State of the Union on Sunday, facing tough questioning from Jake Tapper about Donald Trump’s comments about “the enemy within” and his suggestion that he may use the US military to go after his opponents.

Former Republican Representative Liz Cheney, who has endorsed Kamala Harris, slammed Vance’s response, saying: “What we just watched is what it looks like when someone has gotta go through unbelievable contortions to try to find a way to defend the person that JD Vance himself called America’s Hitler.”

It’s hard to estimate the crowd size roughly two hours before the doors open at Madison Square Garden, but a wide line is packed from the entrance on Seventh Avenue and filling half of the street so far on 33rd Street, across from the Penn Station entrance.

The street is fully pedestrian today, with NYPD barricades on either side, under midtown landmarks like Sbarro and Target.

There’s a sea of red MAGA hats and a few flags waving above the crowd.

We’re supposed to be inside at noon.

Revealed: Farage-inspired plot to persuade Trump to veto Starmer’s Chagos Islands deal

Sunday 27 October 2024 13:30 , David Maddox, Andrew Feinberg

A Nigel Farage-inspired bid to persuade Donald Trump to veto Keir Starmer’s controversial Chagos Islands deal can be revealed today.

The Independent has seen legal advice on Starmer’s controversial deal to hand over the Chagos Islands to Mauritius sent to Mr Trump that was requested after the Reform UK leader raised the issue directly with the former president’s team.

The advice was drawn up by legal experts who worked alongside Mr Farage in the Brexit campaign.

Mr Farage says he was not directly involved in the legal advice but his links with Trump are believed to have played a vital part in the initiative.

The aim of Farage and his allies is to persuade Trump to block the deal if he becomes president.

A growing number of Americans are concerned with Trump’s age, but still not as many who worried about Biden

Sunday 27 October 2024 13:00 , Alex Lang

An increasing number of Americans say Donald Trump is too old to be president — but not as many as when President Joe Biden faced similar concerns about his age over the summer.

A new poll from YouGov found that 44 percent said Trump, at age 78, is too old to lead the executive branch. That figure is up from 35 percent who said the same in a similar February survey.

Along the same lines, the number of people who said he’s not too old dropped from 53 percent in February to 46 percent in October.

Those figures are compared to President Biden, 81, who dropped out of the 2024 presidential campaign and endorsed Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee. In a similar poll in February, 63 percent of respondents said Biden was too old to be president. That figure jumped to 70 percent in July.

Eric Adams urges people to ‘dial down temperature’ ahead of Trump’s MSG rally

Sunday 27 October 2024 10:00 , Mike Bedigan

Beleagured New York Mayor Eric Adams urged people to “dial down the temperature” ahead of Donald Trump’s rally at Madison Square Gardens on Sunday evening, and dismissed suggestions that the former president was a “fascist” and should not be allowed to hold an event at the venue.

“I had those terms hurled at me by some political leaders in the city, using terms like Hitler and fascists,” he told reporters on Saturday.

“I think, as I’ve [said] over and over again... I think we could all dial down the temperature, and I’ve heard people say that the former president should not be able to have a rally in Madison Square Garden. I strongly disagree.

“This is America, this is New York, and I think it’s important that we allow individuals to exercise their right to get their message clear, to New Yorkers, and our job as a city and as a police department is to make sure they can do that in a peaceful way. I think that we must be extremely cautious.

“The heat we turn up today, pre-election, is going to have to be the heat we’re going to have to govern in, and I think we need to show a level of respectable communication, and so when people called me fascist and other terminologies, I didn’t like it, and I don’t think it’s fitting to anyone to state that the former president is equal to being Hitler.”

Adams also emphaisized the effect of such remarks on New York’s large Jewish population in the conext of rising antisemtism across the US.

The mayor is currently facing a slew of federal criminal charges relating to corruption while in office.

Doors at Trump’s rally at MSG are scheduled to open at noon eastern time, with the former president set to speak at around 5pm.

ICYMI: Michelle Obama slams ‘predator’ Trump as she delivers bleak warning for reproductive health at Harris rally

Michelle Obama slammed Donald Trump as a “felon, slumlord” and a “predator” in a fiery speech in Michigan, where she delivered a stark warning for the future of reproductive rights in the US should the former president return to the White House.

In some of her most potent remarks on the campaign trail thus far, the former First Lady painted a sobering picture of the state of abortion rights and pregnancy care in the years after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade and revoked a constitutional right to abortion access.

Thompson’s voice is measured, calm – the direct opposite of what’s about to transpire in the video footage he’s just introduced. The first images show a huge crowd of people, some waving union, confederate and Trump flags, moving towards the Capitol building in Washington, DC. Then they begin breaking down barricades. There are shouts of “take the building” and “f*** you, police”. An officer calls for help on a phone line: “We are still taking metal, sharpened objects, missiles … bottles and rocks and hand-thrown chemical grade fireworks.”

Kamala Harris ramps up attacks on Trump as Election Day looms — after entering race with smiles and enthusiasm

Sunday 27 October 2024 04:00 , Gustaf Kilander

Kamala Harris is taking an increasingly dark turn in the final days of the election campaign after starting her journey as the Democratic nominee focusing on joy and enthusiasm.

Focusing on the threat former President Donald Trump would pose to democracy if elected, Harris took part in a CNN town hall on Wednesday night, where she told the audience that Trump is “going to sit there unstable, unhinged, plotting his revenge, plotting his retribution, creating an enemies list.”

Harris confirmed that she sees Trump as a “fascist” after his former Chief of Staff John Kelly made similar comments to The New York Times. The vice president also slammed the former president after Kelly said Trump suggested that Nazi leader Adolf Hitler did some good things.

Trump claims Harris rally-goers only came for Beyonce, and that singer didn’t know who VP was

Sunday 27 October 2024 03:30 , Mike Bedigan

At his own rally in Pennsylvania Donald Trump said that attendees of Kamala Harris’ rally in Houston on Friday had only gone to see Beyonce, and that the music superstar did not know who the vice president was.

“[Harris] had Beyonce because she can’t draw a crowd. See this crowd, this crowd is packed. I could sell it out three times.” he said. “And we don’t have Beyonce who couldn’t fill the arena last night.

“But the people went there because they thought they’re going to hear Beyonce sing, right? Beyonce got out and said, ‘Hello, ladies and gentlemen, I’d like to endorse her. What’s her name? What’s her name? What is her name again? Oh, I’m going to endorse her.’

“So what happened is the crowd came because they thought she was going to sing. Then she turned around, she left, and Kamala started speaking, and it was a disaster.”

Earlier at another rally held in Michigan, Trump claimed that people had “booed” Beyonce as she left the stage.

Michelle Obama turned her anger towards Donald Trump, and those who held Kamala Harris to “a higher standard” than her opponent.

“Can someone tell me why we’re holding Kamala to a higher standard than her opponent?” she said.

“We expect her to be intelligent, articulate, have a clear set of policies, never show too much anger … But for Trump? We expect nothing at all. No understanding of policy, no ability to put together a coherent arguments.”

Trump has “no honor, no decency, no morals,” she added. ”People write off his “childish indecency as “Trump just being Trump.”“Rather than question his horrible behavior, some folks think he’s just funny.”

She added: “I hope you’ll forgive me if I’m a little frustrated that some of us are choosing to ignore Donald Trump’s gross incompetence, while asking Kamala to dazzle us at every turn.

“I hope that you’ll forgive me if I’m a little angry that we are indifferent to his erratic behavior, his obvious mental decline, his history as a convicted felon, a known slum lord, a predator found liable for sexual abuse.”
