Trump to rally at NYC’s Madison Square Garden: Election live updates

Vice Preisdent Kamala Harris has taken the stage at her rally in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

She quickly impressed upon the voters at the event the importance of participating in this year’s election.

“There is too much on the line, and we must not wake up the day after the election and have any regrets about what we could have done in these next nine days,” she said. “So let’s spend these next nine days knowing we did everything we could.”

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.

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.

Vice President Kamala Harris’s husband, Doug Emhoff, campaigned for his wife in Georgia on Sunday. He stopped in Sandy Springs at a brewery for an event filled with Jewish supporters for Harris.

During his event, Emhoff noted that Trump had recently made comments that admired Hitler’s generals, and pointed out to the Jewish voters that “he’s not your friend.”

The comments were made the same day that Trump hosted a rally in Madison Square Garden. Hillary Clinton compared Trump’s rally to a 1939 Nazi party rally that was held at Madison Square Garden prior to America’s involvement in World War II.

Donald Trump’s senior adviser Stephen Miller spoke at Madison Square Garden on Sunday.

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 then claimed that Democrats were trying to take away Americans’ right to vote by bringing lawsuits and “slander” against Donald Trump. Miller also repeated the lie that Democrats tried to kill Trump, even going so far as to attribute both assassination attempts to the Democrats.

“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.”

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.

Alyssa Farah Griffin, a former Trump White House staffer who is endorsing Kamala Harris for president, pointed out on Sunday that a racist joke made by podcaster Tony Hinchcliffe at the start of Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally probably won’t play well with battlground Pennsylvania’s half-a-million Puerto Rican residents.

Hinchcliffe called Puerto Rico — which is a part of America — a “floating island of garbage in the ocean.”

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.

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.”
