Harris accuses ‘fascist’ Trump of wanting unchecked power after John Kelly warnings: Live updates

Donald Trump plans to vote early, despite spending years claiming without evidence that the process is suspect and fraudulent.

“Voting early, I guess would be good but people have different feelings about it, but the main thing is you’ve got to get out and you’ve got to vote, and I’ll be voting early,” the former president told Fox & Friends host Brian Kilmeade during a radio interview set to air on Wednesday.

Elsewhere, the Republican added he still feels “very mixed” about the practice.

Former Republican Rep Liz Cheney has endorsed Democratic Rep Elissa Slotkin to represent Michigan in the US Senate.

“The stakes in this election are unlike anything we've ever faced before, but the future of our democracy is on the line, and this is not about policy differences,” said Cheney.

“It’s about doing what’s right for our country. That’s why I am supporting Elissa Slotkin in her campaign for United States Senate in Michigan. I know that she is someone who is laser-focused on doing the right thing for the people she represents, and will put service to our country over service to herself every time.”

After thanking Cheney, Slotkin said in a statement: “Liz and I certainly don’t agree on every policy issue, but I’m grateful for her responsible leadership and her deep commitment to preserving our democracy above all else.

“This campaign has always been powered by a coalition of Democrats, Republicans, and Independents, and we’re going to finish it the way we started — united by the country and the democracy that we love.

The Washington Post reports that Kamala Harris is planning to deliver her closing argument on Tuesday, October 29 in a speech on the National Mall.

The paper cites people familiar with the planning and a permit application obtained by reporters for the Post.

Per the report:

The Harris campaign is still finalizing her message, but the vice president plans to present a final case to the American people from a place selected to emphasize a contrast between herself and Donald Trump, a candidate she has argued poses a grave threat to the country, the people said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss plans that were not yet public. As part of that, Harris is likely to mention Trump’s role in the Jan 6 attacks on the US Capitol, but the speech is expected to be broader than just focused on Trump’s threat to American democracy.

A spokesperson for the Harris campaign declined to comment.

There are just two weeks until Vice President Kamala Harris goes head-to-head with Donald Trump, as Americans cast their votes in the 2024 election.

Several voter registration deadlines have come and gone, but in some states, it’s not too late to sign up to vote.
