Election 2024 live updates: Trump slams Harris as a ‘cognitive mess’; Cheney urges pro-life voters to back Democrat

Donald Trump and Kamala Harris are still virtually tied in the seven key battleground states according to the latest Washington Post/Schar School poll.

Harris has a narrow lead in the Blue Wall states of Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, as well as in Georgia. Trump is ahead in Arizona and North Carolina, while they are tied in Nevada.

Trump visited Swannanoa, North Carolina, which was devastated by floods from Hurricane Helene, and repeated the baseless conspiracy theory that Federal Emergency Management Agency money had instead been sent to “illegal migrants”. He reiterated the accusation later at a rally in Greenville and called Harris a “cognitive mess”.

Harris joined former Republican Rep Liz Cheney on Monday for a tour of suburban districts in three states that could swing the election to her by encouraging GOP voters, unhappy with Trump, to vote for the Democratic ticket instead.

Cheney, who has opposed abortion in the past and praised the Supreme Court ruling that overturned Roe v Wade argued it is OK to vote for Harris even if you oppose abortion, as women are not getting the care they need and that has to change.

Key Points

• New Washington Post/Schar poll shows tight race in swing states

• Abortion rights ‘compelling issue’ says Harris, as Cheney encourages pro-life voters to back Democrat

• Watch: Trump baselessly claims FEMA money spent on ‘illegal migrants'

• Donald Trump serves up disturbing message with fries at Pennsylvania McDonald’s

• Trump raises eyebrows with crude anecdote about late golfer Arnold Palmer’s manhood

• Elon Musk offers voters $1m to sign PAC petition. Can that be legal?

'I would like to think God saved me for a purpose'

"I now recognise that it's been the hand of God leading me to where I am today," Trump said at his North Carolina event.

It's an interesting remark, because Trump has often struck people as not exactly the religious type. He doesn't go to church often, and once said he wasn't sure if he had ever asked God for forgiveness.

But people close to him say that he was deeply affected by his near-miss with assassination in Butler, Pennsylvania this July, even making him come off as "spiritual".

"My faith took on new meaning on July 13 in Butler, Pennsylvania, where I was knocked to the ground, essentially, by what seemed like a supernatural hand," the former president said.

"I would like to think that God saved me for a purpose, and that's to make our country greater than ever before."

True or not, it got a lot of applause.

Trump claims Harris is 'very destructive to Christianity'

05:38 , Io Dodds

One of Trump's big themes at tonight's rally in North Carolina was religion. Specifically, how Kamala Harris is "very destructive" to it.

"She's very destructive to Christianity and very destructive to evangelicals and to the Catholic Church", said Trump during a meeting with Christian leaders in Concord.

"I don’t know how many Catholics are here, but if you’re Catholic, there is no way you can be voting for these people. These people are a nightmare. I don’t know what they have against Catholics, but Catholics are treated worse than anybody."

According to reports, he didn't really go into detail about this claim, and did not mention that Joe Biden is a lifelong Catholic (and only the country's second ever Catholic president).

Perhaps he was referring to the conservative Catholic groups and donors who have recently been leading the charge against transgender rights and abortion rights.

Hiring slows as employers wait for voters' decision

04:44 , Io Dodds

The US election is making hiring managers across America feel a bit wobbly, according to a new business survey of more than 500 companies around the globe.

As reported by Reuters, the recruitment consultancy Robert Walters logged a 5 per cent drop in white collar vacancies worldwide between August and September.

Part of the reason, the company said, was that many US firms have frozen their hiring pipelines until we know who will be president in 2025.

"September's decline in professional job roles globally is a departure from the usual surge of hiring activity we expect at this time of year, and is a direct reflection of the geopolitical tensions, economic outlooks, and industry-specific issues on the global jobs market," said Robert Walters executive Toby Fowlston.

Class dismissed

Donald Trump's daughter Tiffany Trump, 31, graduated from Georgetown University Law Center in 2020. And according to the former president, she was the best among her peers.

"She was a great student, and she went to a fantastic law school, graduated number one in her class," he said at an event in Concord, North Carolina tonight.

Except, as first spotted by NBC News, Georgetown Law "does not rank its students", according to the university's website.

Nor does Tiffany Trump's name appear on Georgetown Law's list of students who graduated in 2020 in the top third or top ten per cent of their class.

Trump threatens to sue CBS over ‘deceptive’ Harris interview

03:32 , Io Dodds

Lawyers for Donald Trump have threatened to sue CBS News for deceptively editing last week's interview with Kamala Harris, Fox News reports.

According to Fox, Trump lawyer Edward Andrew Paltzik has written a letter to the network accusing it of "intentionally misleading the public" by "distort[ing] an interview to try and make their preferred candidate appear coherent and decisive, which Harris most certainly is not."

The letter reportedly demands that CBS release the full transcript of its interview with Harris, as well as preserving all documents and communications relating to it in case legal action ensues.

Paltzik’s threat builds on Trump's repeated claims last week that CBS was deliberately deceiving voters when it showed a radically cut-down – and more coherent – version of Harris's answer to a question about Israel on its flagship show 60 Minutes.

Only on Sunday did the network issue a statement denying Trump's claims, saying that it routinely edits all its interviews for brevity so that readers can see the subject's response to a wide range of questions.

The context, of course, is that earlier this month CBS blasted Trump live on air for pulling out of a scheduled set-piece interview, claiming that the former president had offered "shifting" excuses for his reticence. (Team Trump claimed that “nothing was ever scheduled or locked in”.)

Olivia Nuzzi quits New York magazine over alleged RFK Jr affair

02:18 , Io Dodds

The prominent political reporter Olivia Nuzzi has parted ways with New York magazine over her alleged sexting affair with Robert F Kennedy Jr.

Nuzzi, 31, was placed on leave in September after editors learned of her undisclosed "personal relationship" with the carrion-eating scion, which the magazine called "a violation of our readers' trust.”

Now the publication says it has agreed to a mutual separation with Nuzzi, although both internal and external probes found no evidence that her relationship with RFK Jr led to any bias or inaccuracies in her coverage.

Here’s omething you don't see every day: a political rally crowd chanting the name of Jesus Christ at a political candidate.

That candidate, of course, is Donald Trump, who is campaigning in Greenville, North Carolina tonight.

"In our movement, we love Christians, we welcome believers, and we embrace followers of Jesus," said Trump in a clip posted online by journalist Acyn Torabi.

The crowd cheered loudly, before breaking into chants of "Jesus, Jesus, Jesus!"

Trump's plans 'would empty social security fund three years early'

01:05 , Io Dodds

Donald Trump's proposed agenda could exhaust America's social security surplus three years earlier than currently projected, my colleague Gustaf Kilander reports.

The Social Security Trust Funds are a $2.8 trillion reserve held by the US government, which swell or wane each year depending on whether tax income exceeds or falls short of social security spending.

The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget (CRFB), a non-partisan think tank that opposes large government deficits, predicts that this reserve will run dry in nine years if nothing changes.

But on Monday, the CRFB warned that Trump's plans to cut taxes, impose tariffs on foreign goods, and deport potentially millions of people would drain the Funds three years ahead of schedule.

Is Elon Musk breaking the law with his $1m giveaways?

Tuesday 22 October 2024 00:39 , Io Dodds

Tesla and SpaceX boss Elon Musk is currently promising a $1 million prize every day to registered voters in seven battleground states who sign a petition produced by his pro-Trump PAC.

But under US federal law, it’s illegal to pay, offer to pay, or accept payment for registering to vote or voting — and punishable up to five years in prison.

So do Musk’s giveaways break that law? My colleague Alex Woodward asked the experts, and at least one of whom believes the answer is “yes”.

Trump faces another defamation lawsuit as ‘Central Park Five’ take action

Tuesday 22 October 2024 00:15 , Oliver O'Connell

Donald Trump has been sued for defamation by a group of men who were wrongfully convicted of raping a jogger in New York City’s Central Park in 1989.

At the time, the real-estate mogul bought full-page ads in major newspapers with a headline demanding “BRING BACK THE DEATH PENALTY.”

The wrongful convictions of the so-called “Central Park Five” were vacated in 2002, and the city paid $41 million in 2014 to settle a civil rights lawsuit.

Trump has not only refused to recant or apologize for those statements, he has also falsely claimed that the men pleaded guilty and suggested that they had “killed a person, ultimately.”

Alex Woodward has the details.

When will the election be called? The head of the Fox News decision desk has an idea...

Monday 21 October 2024 22:45 , Oliver O'Connell

Fox News decision desk chief Arnon Mishkin has said that the “over/under” for when the election is likely to be called is the Saturday after the election - four days after Americans go to the polls.

The 69-year-old noted when speaking to Politico that the Saturday after the election was when the last call was made when Biden won the 2020 election.

Mishkin, a consultant not officially employed by Fox, told Politico that he plans on making the call on who has won the election as soon as possible but that the vote counting may take a few days to finalize the results.

Abortion rights ‘compelling issue’ says Harris, as Cheney encourages pro-life voters to back Democrat

Monday 21 October 2024 22:20 , Oliver O'Connell

Speaking today on the subject of reproductive rights, Kamala Harris said that she thinks they are a “compelling issue” in this year’s election following the draconian rules implemented in some states following the ending of Roe v Wade.

“I do believe it is a compelling issue, especially when we consider the fact that for so many of us, our daughter is going to have fewer rights than their grandmother. And America’s strength, one of the attributes of our progress, has been the expansion of rights, not the restriction of rights, and that’s what we’re seeing happen,” Harris told reporters.

Meanwhile, campaigning alongside the vice president to encourage suburban women in swing states to side with the Democratic ticket, former Republican congresswoman Liz Cheney said the idea of women not getting the care they need is not sustainable, and pro-lifers should cross party lines.

“I think there are many of us around the country who have been pro-life, but who have watched what’s going on in our states since the Dobbs decision, and have watched state legislatures put in place laws that are resulting in women not getting the care they need,” Cheney said.

“And so I think this, this is not an issue that we’re seeing break down across party lines, but I think we’re seeing people come together to say what has happened to women and when women are facing situations where they can’t get the care they need, where, in places like Texas, for example, the attorney general is talking about suing, is suing to get access to women’s medical records. That’s not sustainable for us as a country, and it has to change.”

Mike Bedigan writes:

Donald Trump’s 30-minute shift at a Pennsylvania McDonald’s was one of his most meme-worthy campaign stunts yet. The franchise in Bucks County was shut down during the visit and the former president’s labor was carefully choreographed and documented by his campaign.

But while many online were quick to remark about the former president’s breaches of health and safety protocol, such as no hair net or visible hand-washing, as a former teenage fry-cook I have to be honest: He… didn’t actually do a bad job.

More than 1.5 million people have voted early in Georgia, smashing records

Monday 21 October 2024 22:06 , Oliver O'Connell

Per the Georgia Secretary of State’s office:

Monday, October 21st marked the eighth day of Early Voting for the November 5th Presidential Election. On Friday, Georgia voters surpassed the 1 million mark, and as of Monday at 3:30pm surpassed the 1.5 million mark with 1,504,332 check-ins, shattering previous Early Voting performance.

“Georgia voters know we’ve made it easy to cast a ballot. It’s really that simple,” said Secretary Raffensperger. “Over the past four years we’ve worked tirelessly to prepare for this election by adding Early Voting days and investing in infrastructure, only to be rewarded with the lies of Jim Crow 2.0 and a missed All-Star Game. We’re battled tested and ready, despite the critics.”

Harris and Cheney campaign in Royal Oak, Michigan

Monday 21 October 2024 21:51 , Oliver O'Connell

Vice President Kamala Harris and former Republican Rep Liz Cheney are at the second stop of their day of campaigning together — Royal Oak, Michigan.

Said Harris at the event: “I think most of us believe, regardless of your party affiliation, that the real measure of the strength of a leader is based on who you lift up. And so for that reason, I'm not surprised that Liz Cheney and I are on the same stage.”

The vice president added: |I have seen a lot of Republicans go up to Liz Cheney and thank her. They may not be doing it publicly ... I think she has shown to your point extraordinary courage especially in this environment post January 6...from my vantage point, she is actually not alone.”

Cheney said: “When I look at the nature of the threat that Donald Trump poses and…think about that level of instability, the level of erratic decision-making, misogyny, that is not something that you can entrust with the power of the Oval Office.”

She added: “When Donald Trump says that his political opponents are the enemy within, and when he contemplates deploying force against them, the response that we all have should not be to be so afraid we don't act. It should be vote him out... Vote for Vice President Harris.”

A GOP senate candidate says he was shot while serving in Afghanistan — but is it true?

A former Park Service ranger said Friday that U.S. Senate hopeful Tim Sheehy of Montana has been lying about a bullet wound that the candidate said came from fighting in Afghanistan — going public with an accusation that has nagged the Republican’s campaign for months.

The claim from former ranger Kim Peach that Sheehy in fact shot himself on a family trip in Montana was immediately dismissed by Sheehy and his allies as a smear campaign engineered by Democrats in a race that’s expected to help decide control of the Senate.

IN FOCUS: Inside the Harris campaign effort to turn red voters blue

Andrew Feinberg writes:

For generations of American schoolchildren, a key rite of passage in civic education has been a visit to a centuries-old, two-story Georgian structure in downtown Philadelphia.

That building, formally known today as Independence Hall, has over the centuries played host to multiple American presidents, and remains the centerpiece of a national park celebrating America’s founding. It is where the constitution was born.

On Thursday, it was business as usual outside the iconic venue. Young students in identical hats emblazoned with their school and class year filed past on their way into the rooms where the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution were debated and approved by the nation’s founding fathers. Senior citizens on an organized tour walked past the front entrance on their way to the next stop on their journey.

But across Chestnut Street, on a sidewalk abutting the green grass of Independence Mall, another, much smaller group was gathering for a group photograph.

Inside Ron DeSantis’s war on abortion rights in Florida

Monday 21 October 2024 19:15 , Oliver O'Connell

Alex Woodward reports:

A federal judge offered a withering single-sentence summary to tell Ron DeSantis why his administration can’t threaten to criminally prosecute TV stations for airing abortion rights ads.

“To keep it simple for the State of Florida,” Judge Mark Walker wrote on October 17, “it’s the First Amendment, stupid.”

Police have knocked on doors. Government-funded ad campaigns and websites have called opponents liars, and state investigators have accused them of fraud. State officials sent cease and desist letters to local news networks threatening them with legal action, which the judge blasted as “indirect” government censorship. The state attorney who wrote the letters abruptly stepped down after sending them. “A man is nothing without his conscience,” he wrote in his resignation letter.

Judge Walker dealt a temporary blow to the Republican governor’s efforts. But advocates fear DeSantis is paving the way to throw out election results for a ballot measure that would protect reproductive rights. If approved by voters, that ballot measure would derail the governor’s anti-abortion agenda and overturn the state’s abortion bans.
