Trump to attend Alabama vs Georgia game while new poll shows Harris with slim lead in swing states: Live

There’s the good, there’s the bad, and then there’s the plain ugly. Donald Trump is known for branding his political allies and enemies alike with a nickname.

Donald Trump is campaigning in Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin today at 1:30 p.m. before heading to Tuscaloosa, Alabama to attend the Alabama v. Georgia football game.

Vice President Kamala Harris is in California today to attend campaign events this weekend in San Francisco and Los Angeles.

At 5:45 p.m. ET, Harris will deliver remarks at an event in San Francisco, where she began her political career.

She will then head to Los Angeles for a campaign event tomorrow.

North Carolina Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson was hospitalized on Friday night after an “incident” at a campaign event left him with second-degree burns, according to NewsNation.

Robinson, who made headlines recently when a CNN investigation found he left vulgar comments on a pornography website, was at a truck show in Mount Airy, NC when the incident took place.

According to his communications director, Mike Lonergan, Robinson was treated for second-degree burns but “is in good spirits”.

Lonergan did not provide details about the incident but said Robinson  “is excited to return to the campaign trail” on Saturday morning.

A law enforcement source told CNN that no foul play was involved in the incident.

Stanley McChrystal, a retired Army general once dubbed “the finest warrior” in the U.S. military, has endorsed Kamala Harris for president.

“Ms. Harris has the strength, the temperament and, importantly, the values to serve as commander in chief,” the retired general wrote. “When she sits down with world leaders like President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine, representing the United States on the global stage, I have no doubt that she is working in our national interest, not her own.”
