Trump peddles lies and bashes Harris to thousands of supporters at surreal MSG rally: Election live updates

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.”

With just days left until Election Day, three out of four Americans say in a new survey that US democracy is currently under threat.

That’s according to a recent New York Times/Siena College poll. While 76 percent of Americans say democracy is imperiled, they the cause varies significantly based on partisan leanings.

Meanwhile, 49 percent say that US democracy does a good job of representing the people, with 45 percent saying the opposite.

Most voters – 62 percent – also think that the government is beset by corruption and is mostly working for itself or to benefit elites.

The first speaker during Donald Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally is a comedian named Tony Hinchcliffe of the “Kill Tony Podcast.”

He started his set by shilling for Mike Lindell’s “MyPillow” pillows, and told the crowd he bought four of them.

He called Puerto Rico — which is part of the US, and Puerto Ricans are Americans — a “floating pile of garbage in the middle of the ocean,” and said that Latinos “love making babies” and don’t “pull out,” but “come inside, like they did our country.”

Earlier in his set, he admitted that early in his career he was forced to sleep in a car outside the Comedy Store in LA.

Donald Trump’s rally at Madison Square Garden in New York City is underway.

Trump is expected to speak tonight around 5pm EST.

Leonardo DiCaprio has endorsed Kamala Harris in next month’s presidential election, arguing that her rival Donald Trump “continues to deny the facts” and “deny the science” around climate change.

The Oscar-winning actor, 49, previously endorsed Joe Biden ahead of the 2020 presidential election.

In a video posted to his Instagram account, DiCaprio said he was basing his decision on seeing the effects of climate change hit the United States.

“Earlier this month, hurricanes Helene and Milton devastated parts of Florida, Georgia and North Carolina,” he said. “Families lost homes, livelihoods and loved ones to some of the strongest Atlantic hurricanes ever recorded. These storms have done an estimated $100 billion in damage. And make no mistake, these unnatural disasters were caused by climate change.”

Nearly 240 miles east of Lauren Boebert’s former stronghold Rifle, past the Rockies and onto the Colorado plains, the high school homecoming parade in the Republican’s newly-adopted town marched a circular route last week – twice passing a corner yard with a Harris/Walz sign declaring: “UNITY OVER DIVISION.”

Boebert’s arrival with her sons has sparked the opposite in Windsor, a community of just under 43,000 people about an hour north of Denver. Her relocation here from the Western Slope was divisive in itself – not just between Democrats and Republicans but also among loyal GOP voters – when she announced quietly during last year’s holiday season that she would abandon her re-election campaign in CD3 in favor of a run on the other side of the state.

That placed her in a district she knew nothing about, where she’d never lived and where well-connected, well-respected local Republicans eyeing congressional bids themselves took great umbrage – along with their loyal supporters and those on the other side of the political spectrum.
