Trump vows to ‘take other countries’ jobs’ as Harris wants end to filibuster for abortion rights: Live

Judge Tanya Chutkan has granted Special Counsel Jack Smith's request to file a “comprehensive brief” of up to 180 pages in Donald Trump’s election interference case that will include a “substantial number of exhibits”.

The brief is to defend the government’s superseding indictment as being compliant with the Supreme Court's presidential immunity ruling.

Judge Chutkan’s ruling allows Smith to submit evidence of the former president’s alleged crimes relating to election interference and January 6, before the election.

It was a college town, so the crowd was bound to be younger than usual. But the sheer amount of fresh-faced college and high school-age youths at Donald Trump’s rally in Indiana, Pennsylvania on Monday evening was something to behold.

They lined up for hours in MAGA hats of all colors; many of them wore T-shirts with Trump’s most famous image on the front — his fist in the air and the American flag billowing in the background in the seconds after the first attempt on his life a few weeks ago.

What could bring out so many young people to see a former president, I asked, as I waited in a line that extended to the parking lot?

Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris leads Republican Donald Trump 47% to 40% in the race to win the Nov. 5 U.S. presidential election, as she appeared to blunt Trump's edge on the economy and jobs, a Reuters/Ipsos poll published on Tuesday found.

Harris had a six percentage point lead based on unrounded figures - which showed her with support from 46.61% of registered voters while Trump was backed by 40.48%, according to the three-day poll that closed on Monday. The Democrat's lead was slightly higher than her five-point advantage over Trump in a Sept 11-12 Reuters/Ipsos poll.

Asked which candidate had the better approach on the "economy, unemployment and jobs," some 43% of voters in the poll picked Trump and 41% selected Harris. Trump's two-point advantage on the topic compares to his three-point lead in an August Reuters/Ipsos poll and an 11 point lead over Harris in late July shortly after she launched her campaign.

While national surveys including Reuters/Ipsos polls give important signals on the views of the electorate, the state-by-state results of the Electoral College determine the winner, with seven battleground states likely to be decisive.

The latest Reuters/Ipsos poll surveyed 1,029 U.S. adults online, nationwide, including 871 registered voters. Among these, 785 were considered the most likely to turn out on Election Day. Among these likely voters, Harris led 50% to 44%, though similar to her lead among all registered voters, her advantage was only five points when using unrounded figures.

JD Vance struggled to answer coherently when asked about Mark Robinson, the Republican nominee for governor in North Carolina who is at the center of damning claims.

Robinson was the subject of a report by CNN’s KFile unit last week which alleges he has an extensive history of comments made on a porn site called “Nude Africa” under an email address and username both known to be linked to him.

The comments, which touched on a wide range of topics, were outrageous and shocking — in one, he reportedly referred to himself as a “Black Nazi.” Robinson claims he did not write the comments and denies the allegations.

When Vance was asked about it on the campaign trail, he struggled to give a straight answer on whether he believed Robinson.

With 41 days until Election Day, the presidential race remains too close to call as former President Donald Trump receives 48 per cent support among likely voters, Vice President Kamala Harris receives 47 per cent support, and Green Party candidate Jill Stein and Libertarian Party candidate Chase Oliver each receive 1 per cent support, according to a Quinnipiac University national poll of likely voters released today.

In the previous poll, released on August 29, following the Democratic National Convention, the presidential race was also too close to call, with Harris receiving 49 per cent support, Trump receiving 47 per cent support, and Stein and Oliver each getting 1 per cent support.

In today’s poll, Republicans 93-6 per cent back Trump, while Democrats 94-5 per cent back Harris. Among independents, 47 per cent back Trump, 44 per cent back Harris, 3 per cent back Stein, and 2 per cent back Oliver.

In a hypothetical two-way race between Harris and Trump, Trump receives 48 per cent support and Harris receives 48 per cent support.

Seventy per cent of likely voters supporting Harris say they are very enthusiastic about supporting her, compared to 75 per cent in August.

Seventy-one per cent of likely voters supporting Trump say they are very enthusiastic about supporting him, compared to 68 per cent in August.

Anti-LGBT+ author and activist Corey DeAngelis has been placed on leave from the conservative group the American Federation for Children following allegations that he appeared in gay adult films.

The organization removed a page outlining his work with the group. The federation said that DeAngelis had been placed on leave while the claim that he appeared in videos as “Seth Rose” on the adult film site GayHoopla was investigated, according to LGBTQ Nation. The videos seem to have been posted around 2014, the outlet noted.

With Kamala Harris scheduled to visit Arizona on Friday during a swing through western states, there are reports seized upon by Donald Trump that the vice president will be visiting the southern border.

The former president mentioned the trip (which has not officially been announced by the Harris campaign) during remarks in Savannah this lunchtime, but had already posted on Truth Social:

After almost four years, Border Czar Kamala Harris has decided, for political reasons, that it’s time for her to go to our broken Southern Border. What a disgrace that she waited so long, allowing millions of people to enter our Country from prisons, mental institutions, and criminal cells all over the World, not just South America, many of those coming are terrorists, and at a level never seen before! She’s trying to con the public like she did a good job at the Border when, in fact, she has destroyed the very fabric of our Nation allowing 21 Million people in from places unknown….

….When Kamala is seen at the Border on Friday, she will pass Hundreds of Miles of Wall that was built by TRUMP, and it is Wall that WORKS! When she speaks, be advised that this woman has allowed more than 21 million people into our Country, totally unvetted, and from places unknown. They are now creating criminal havoc all throughout the Country. Every State is a Border State! When she speaks, I hope everybody remembers that she has caused our cities, towns, and Country itself, tremendous damage, and only I can fix it!
