Candidates traveling thousands of miles, campaigns costing hundreds of millions of dollars and opinion polls with small margins: the final stage of the American presidential election is very exciting. Read the latest developments in this article.
From campaigns:
- Harris goes against Trump’s ‘women’s defender’
<a href="https://www.world-today-news.com/donald-trump-whats-behind-the-us-presidents-baltimore-attack/" title="Donald Trump: What's behind the US President's Baltimore attack”>Kamala Harris has hit out at comments from Donald Trump that he will be a “protector of women” whether they want him to or not. At a meeting in Las Vegas she said it was embarrassing for everyone. “It does not respect the freedom and intelligence of women to do their own thing. We have confidence in women.”
Trump had previously revealed that advisers advised him to stop calling himself a defender of women because of their support. “Well, I’m just going to do that whether they want it or not. I’m going to protect them from the immigrants coming in and landing wants to hit us with missiles.”
Trump wants to ‘protect women, whether they want to or not’, Harris responds
Like Harris, Trump also campaigned in the western US, visiting him swing states Arizona and Nevada and a trip to New Mexico, where the Democrats expect to win. He used his visit to criticize the Democrats’ border policies. For example, he invited the relatives of a veteran who was recently murdered in Mexico by members of the drug cartels.
Trump painted a bleak picture of his country: “The United States is a country of people. I can’t believe I have to say that: we are a country of people. They come to -in by the thousands with military equipment.” Only his re-election would bring a day of redemption, he urged supporters.
Trump: ‘America is a country of people’
Republicans are furious about an election ad from Harris supporters that tells women they can lie about who they will vote for. In the video narrated by Julia Roberts from a progressive evangelical constituency group, two women look meaningfully at each other as they fill out the voting form. “In the only place in America where women are still allowed to vote, you can vote whatever you want. And no one has to find out,” says the actress with images of a woman ‘ laughs at her stereotypical Trump husband while on the democratic ballot.
“I think this looks like a relationship,” responded Fox reporter Jesse Waters. Right-wing activist Charlie Kirk felt sorry for the ignorant man, “who probably works to hard to have a good life and provide for his family and then she lies to him.”
The group behind the commercial say that the violent comments prove that the council is needed. “We want to help people do what their heart desires in the voting booth.” Now there’s a version by George Clooney that reminds tough guys that they they can secretly vote for Democrats.
The latest news:
- Musk can continue with a multi-million enterprise
Elon Musk doesn’t have to stop giving millions to voters anytime soon swing states. Musk’s lawyers had requested that the case be moved to federal court and the judge in Philadelphia decided that a federal judge must first see if the donation is allowed before he can rule. A ban on voting is now unlikely.
For almost two weeks now, Musk has been donating $1 million a day to a voter who signs a petition from him. The prosecutor calls this election interference and illegal lottery. The judge had ordered Musk to attend the hearing, but his lawyers said the busy billionaire was unable to appear immediately. They also felt that the prosecutor wanted to turn the trial into a circus when Musk came.
- Trump is suing CBS for 10 billion
Donald Trump is demanding $10 billion from CBS because the channel apparently influenced the election by redacting an interview with Harris. The Trump campaign is talking about fraudulent voters. On October 7, a long interview with Harris was broadcast by 60 minutesin which she was asked about, among other things, the relationship with Israel. In a previously aired segment, Harris gave a 146-word response, but in the program itself it was cut back to 20. Trump previously called it “the biggest fraud in the history of television” and wanted CBS’ broadcasting license to be revoked. CBS admitted that the response was cut, but still insists that the tone and content were not compromised.
- Stenographers protested against Biden’s arrest
Official White House correspondents have complained that spokespeople independently prepared a transcript that was released that contained controversial statements by Biden. When there was an uproar because Biden appeared to be calling Trump supporters “scum,” the press office, in consultation with the president, changed the word “supporters“in”supporter“, so the quote was no longer about the entire Trump base, but about the same comedian who had called Puerto Rico a mountain of floating garbage.
The AP news agency obtained an email in which the stenographers officially protested against that change, which should have been discussed with the department. “If there is any doubt, speakers can refuse to release the entire transcript, but without making any changes themselves,” the official responsible for the task warns “Now the official report that goes to the National Archives, for example, is different from the published version.” The official does not comment on whether the change was reasonable.
The day to come
- Harris and Trump in the same city
Residents of the largest city in Wisconsin can choose today whether they want to see Trump or Harris live: both of them will visit Milwaukee. They both also visit another state called Blue Wall, Michigan. The Republican goes to the city of Warren near Detroit, the Democrat speaks an hour away in Appleton. Michigan, with sixteen electoral votes, is one of the most important states next Tuesday, Wisconsin has a little less with ten.
- The mayor of New York in court
It is not directly related to the elections, but it is a painful political scandal for the Democrats: the Mayor of New York Eric Adams has to appear for the first time because he is accused of corruption. He could be from different countries took bribes to promote their interests illegally. Adams denies guilt.
