Election 2024 live updates: Trump to appear on Joe Rogan podcast; Obama slams ‘whining’ ex-president on campaign trail

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.

“True Trump patriots” can now purchase a white T-shirt emblazoned with an image of the Republican nominee waving from the drive-thru window in his apron.

Although pitched as a “McGift” in a fundraising email to supporters, the shirt is not free, with his campaign’s website suggesting a donation of $100 would be appropriate.

I think it was Stephen Colbert who characterized the relentless MAGA cash grab as “the grifting of the rubes” and perhaps there is no finer example.

James Liddell reports.

The Republican nominee’s daughter-in-law snapped at the Detroit radio host when he laughed at her for claiming she had “never seen” her Trump “say a racist thing.”

Appearing on The Breakfast Club on Monday, the co-chair of the RNC was asked about Trump being sued for defamation by the Central Park Five when the disagreement erupted.

Rhian Lubin reports.

Staff from the Golden Arches have given their verdict on Trump’s performance behind the fry cooker on Sunday.

Here’s Kelly Rissman on where they marked him down.
