Your support makes all the difference.With five days of campaigning to go in the 2024 race, Kamala Harris and Donald Trump made their final pitches to voters, spending Thursday at rallies across the crucial Sun Belt states of Arizona and Nevada.
The former president ended the day in a sit-down interview with Tucker Carlson on stage in Henderson, Arizona, after speeches from Robert F Kennedy Jr and Nicole Shanahan. At one point Trump appeared to fantasize about former Republican Rep Liz Cheney being shot at.
Vice President Harris closed out Thursday with a rally in Las Vegas in which singer and actor Jennifer Lopez emotionally endorsed her.
Earlier in the week, Trump had posed in a garbage truck dressed as a sanitation worker in an attempt to troll Harris and Joe Biden after the latter allegedly called MAGA voters “garbage” in anger over comedian Tony Hinchcliffe’s already-notorious Madison Square Garden joke about Puerto Rico.

Meanwhile, Trump is suing CBS News for $10bn alleging that the 60 Minutes interview with Harris was deceptively edited to unlawfully influence the 2024 presidential election.
