Elections 2024 Final: Donald Trump and Kamala Harris enter the final stretch of the 2024 campaign

McCamish hosted thousands of credentialed media outlets that evening, along with the “spin room” floor where surrogates come to push for their candidate’s victory. The spin room proved no contest that night, but after Biden’s whispers, incoherent performance highlighted the 81-year-old president’s age and ultimately led to him fall out of the breed.

Trump’s top aides were on the McCamish floor that night crowing about what happened on the debate stage and predicting a romp over Biden, but Democrats opted for the vice presidential nomination instead Harris.

Trump spoke at the National Faith Advisory Board summit about his experiences with faith and fatherhood. Trump spoke about his upbringing in New York, saying he sometimes enjoyed religious ceremonies but broadly sidestepped questions about his own faith.

Trump praised conservative Christians as an important part of his administration and said a revamped office of faith would have a direct line to the Oval Office. He also pledged to repeal the Johnson Amendment, which bans 501(c)(3) nonprofits from supporting or opposing political candidates.

“I shouldn’t scold anyone, but Christians are not known to be very solid voters,” Trump told the crowd.

“We have to save religion in this country. No, honestly, religion is under threat,” he warned.

Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Georgia congresswoman and Trump loyalist, used quite a bit of exaggeration to brag about Trump at the Georgia Tech rally.

Returning from Trump’s rally in New York City, she described Trump as “the man who built that city.”

Trump’s first real estate development projects, with his father’s company, took place in the 1970s. He opened Trump Tower in 1983. Many of New York City’s landmark skyscrapers predate this era, including the Woolworth Building (1913), the Empire State Building (1931), and the World Trade Center (dedicated in 1973).

Conspiracy theorist and US representative Marjorie Taylor Greene takes on Donald Trump’s fiercest critics.

“We are tired of being called Nazis and fascists,” Greene, R-Ga., said at Trump’s rally on the Georgia Tech campus in Atlanta. “These are absolute lies, and we will not tolerate this anymore.” Greene suggested that Trump supporters file a class action lawsuit against the media and others who spread these labels about the former president and his supporters in the 2024 election.

She didn’t say that Trump has often called Harris a “communist” and “fascist.”

She labeled Harris and all Democrats as incompetent, arguing that their policies aren’t working “and neither is their stupid vaccine” to combat COVID-19. Greene is among the loudest anti-vaccine conspiracy theorists.

Democrats share and condemn a comedian’s racist comment at Trump’s rally in New York. They hope to dissuade Puerto Ricans across the country from voting for the former president, but the impact could be particularly significant in Pennsylvania.

The Census Bureau has done that found Puerto Ricans are the largest detailed Latin American group in the Commonwealth. A study by the University of California-Los Angeles puts the figure above 470,000 as of 2018.

Harris’ campaign is taking off a new advertisement condemning the racist joke calling Puerto Rico “a floating island of trash” told yesterday at Trump’s rally by a comedian.

The Harris ad begins with audio of the joke, before Harris says, “I will never forget what Donald Trump did.” He left the island offering nothing but paper towels and insults,” referring to the then-president’s response to Hurricane Maria in 2017. When Trump visited the island after the deadly hurricane, he threw rolls of paper towels into a crowd of people .

“Puerto Ricans deserve better,” Harris says on camera. “As president, I will always fight for you and your families and together we can chart a new path forward,” she added.

The Harris campaign says the ad will run on digital platforms in all battleground states, but will specifically target zip codes with high concentrations of Latino voters.

“There’s a lot of religion out there. That’s nice. That’s pretty good. We like that,” the former president said to applause. The National Faith Advisory Board Summit is held in Powder Springs, Georgia.

Republicans on Monday asked the U.S. Supreme Court for an emergency order in Pennsylvania that could result in thousands of votes not being counted in this year’s elections in the battleground state.

Just over a week before the election, the court is being asked to weigh in on a dispute over provisional ballots cast by Pennsylvania voters whose mail-in ballots were rejected for not following technical procedures under state law.
