Trump calls for death penalty for anyone who kills a cop as he visits Michigan in latest campaign stop: Live

A dispute over a pro-Donald Trump sign outside a home in Las Vegas turned violent, resulting in a shooting and a man getting his foot run over.

Timothy Parks, 45, and Jennifer Lund, 38, now face charges of assault, battery and stalking, following the incident on October 13, according to charging documents.

Mike Bedigan has the details.

The Secret Service has a “corrosive” culture and a “troubling lack of critical thinking,” which contributed to recent security threats and assassination attempts against Donald Trump, a scathing report for the Department of Homeland Security found.

The findings, from a panel of security and law enforcement officials, recommended Thursday that the elite protective agency clean house and replace senior leadership with officials from the outside.

Josh Marcus has the details.

During a town hall in Michigan, Donald Trump talked about police issues. He also said that he wanted to see the death penalty for anybody who kills a cop.

“We also want to call for the death penalty for anyone killing a police officer,” Trump said to loud applause.

Trump also called for immunity for police in their jobs.

A top fact-checker finally reveals which party lies more as James Liddell reports.

Donald Trump‘s energy level emerged as a flashpoint on Friday as the Republican nominee and Democrat Kamala Harris scrambled across battleground Michigan with Election Day looming.

Harris told reporters that Trump was “unfit,” “unstable” and “a danger to our democracy” ahead of an afternoon rally. But she appeared to touch a nerve with her Republican rival when she mentioned a report that Trump was “exhausted.”

“Being president of the United States is probably one of the hardest jobs in the world and we really do need to ask, if he’s exhausted on the campaign trail, is he fit to do the job?” jabbed Harris, who has been on the road campaigning since Monday and won’t return to Washington until sometime next week.

The National Rifle Association, the influential firearms lobbying group, was mocked online for allegedly getting the facts wrong on a video claiming vice presidential candidate Tim Walz doesn’t know how to use a shotgun.

Josh Marcus has the story.

Kamala Harris was asked by NBC’s Peter Alexander about the gender gap between her supporters and those of Donald Trump. Something that has been evident in recent polling.

PETER ALEXANDER: Let me ask you, if I can about one of the challenges the campaign faces right now. Polls show that there is a widening gender gap that Donald Trump leads, particularly among men, by 16 points right now. Why is that? And why do you think there is a disconnect for you with men right now?

KAMALA HARRIS: Let me tell you can look at this audience and you can see that there are people of every background and gender who are showing up by the 1000s, and I think it is because they know I intend to be a president for all Americans, and that is how I'm campaigning to earn the vote of every American, not only about their gender, but about their geographic location and, and unburdened by who they may have voted for in the past. I think this really is a moment like we saw with the Republicans who are supporting me most publicly recently, that it's a time to put country before party and really, again, with a sense of optimism, fight for what we care about.

PA: Just to be clear, though, men still say by 60% margin of supporting Donald Trump right now. Why do you think that is?

KH: It’s not the experience I’m having to be honest with you.

PA: You, think the men are on board?

KH: Look around.

Eric Garcia reports from Cumming, Georgia:

On the surface, former president Donald Trump’s Fox News town hall to discuss women’s issues in Georgia earlier this week was the ultimate safe space. Many of the audience there were part of local Republican clubs.

The location of the town hall also had historical significance. Fox chose to have the town hall in a barn in Cumming, about an hour outside of Atlanta. Cumming serves as the county seat of Forsyth County, an overwhelmingly Republican area with one of the darkest chapters in the South’s history of racial violence.

But underneath the surface, Forsyth reveals why Trump and Republicans should worry.

The Bulwark reports that former UN ambassador Nikki Haley is in talks to join Donald Trump on the campaign trail to help win over disaffected Republicans, according to sources familiar with the discussions.

No details or dates have been worked out but the most likely scenario would be a town hall toward the end of October possibly involving Fox News host Sean Hannity.

The former ambassador and South Carolina governor ran a fierce primary race against Trump and was the last Republican standing against him.

While there appeared to be no love lost at the end of the primary, she spoke on his behalf at the Republican National Convention. The two have not appeared together since then.

Haley now has a SiriusXM radio show and said last month: “I don’t agree with Trump 100 percent of the time.”

“I have not forgotten what he said about me. I’ve not forgotten what he said about my husband or his, you know, deployment time or his military service. I haven’t forgotten about his or his campaign’s tactics from, you know, putting a birdcage outside our hotel room to calling me ‘bird brain,’” Haley said on her show.

She nevertheless maintains that she believes Trump “will make the country better”.

This morning on Fox & Friends, Trump was given an opening to talk about the possibility of campaigning with her but instead talked about beating her in the primary.
