Elections 2024 live updates: Trump brands Harris ‘lazy as hell’ for not campaigning today

The Department of Justice has confirmed to CBS News that it has received an enquiry from former federal prosecutors and Republican appointees to “request that [the DOJ] review payments that are being made by the Elon Musk-founded America PAC to voters in Pennsylvania and other states that experts say raise serious questions under applicable law.”

Here’s Alex Woodward’s report from Monday on this very issue:

If the former president wins the November election and institutes his planned agenda, the Social Security Trust Fund may be empty in just six years, according to a new report.

The nonpartisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget (CRFB), which opposes large federal deficits, said in their report released on Monday that Vice President Kamala Harris’s proposed policies wouldn’t change the current timeline.

As the US is aging, the funding of the program will come into sharper focus as the current prediction by trustees that the fund will become insolvent in 2035 gets closer.

The CRFB found that Trump’s policies would bring that deadline closer by a magnitude of years.

The group found that many of his proposed policies for a second term push the fund towards insolvency.

Gustaf Kilander has more.

Andrew Feinberg speaks to the former Trump voters who are now planning to pull the lever for Harris – and the campaign politicos who came up with an unusual strategy.

Here’s Sean O’Grady’s take on the Republican donning the apron, which could do more for him than patiently outlining coherent policy positions.

Here’s where the main players are today (all times ET):

• Donald Trump taking part in Latino roundtable at Doral, Florida 11am
• Joe Biden meeting with Prime Minister of Slovenia at White House 11.30am
• JD Vance in Las Vegas, Nevada 1pm
• Tim Walz and Barack Obama in Madison, Wisconsin 2.30pm
• Vance in Peoria, Arizona 3pm
• Doug Emoff and Maya Harris in Cary, North Carolina 3.35pm
• Biden in Concord, New Hampshire 3.45pm
• Emoff and Maya Harris in Carrboro, North Carolina 6.25pm
• Kamala Harris interview on NBC Nightly News 6.30pm
• Vance in Tucson, Arizona 6.30pm
• Trump in Greensboro, North Carolina 7pm
• Walz in Racine, Wisconsin 7.45pm
• Obama in Detroit, Michigan 7.45pm

The Democratic congressman running to be a California senator, whom Trump once derided as “Pencil-Neck” and recently cited as an example of “the enemy within”, is enjoying himself here pointing out a particularly telling typo.

Nineteen percent of GOP voters believe the former president should do “whatever it takes” to return to power, even if that means calling the results invalid if he loses, according to a new national poll by the nonpartisan Public Religion Research Institute.

Worrying, in a word.

Here’s Gustaf Kilander’s report.

As Kamala and Tim Walz methodically campaign in the swing states stressing the importance of the issues and politely articulating policy positions that might actually help people, Trump is out joking about Arnold Palmer’s three-wood and salting fries for yucks while JD Vance goes largely unnoticed.

Here’s Eric Garcia on two sharply contrasting strategies for the final weeks.

Here’s Graig Graziosi with some better news for democracy fans: the vice president has a near two-to-one lead over Trump among voters who have already cast their ballots, according to the latest USA Today/Suffolk University poll.
