Trump accuses Harris of ‘FAKE and STAGED’ photo as Walz and Vance prep for debate showdown: Live

MAGA activists are trying to flip Pennsylvania for Trump by encouraging Republicans to vote by mail — despite the messaging of the former president, Richard Hall reports from Indiana, Pennsylvania

Donald Trump-endorsed Republican senate candidate Larry Hogan has revealed his shock decision around who to vote for in November – and he won’t be returning the favor to the former president.

Speaking on CBS News Face the Nation, the former Maryland governor said on Sunday that neither Trump nor Vice President Kamala Harris had earned his support.

“Neither one of the two candidates has earned my vote, and the voters in the country are going to be able to make that decision,” he said.

“I didn’t vote for him in 2016 or 2020 and I’ve made that pretty clear. I’m willing to put country over party, and I’m hoping that the voters will be willing to do the same thing.”

Vice President Kamala Harris holds the lead over Donald Trump among Latino voters but it’s still much lower than past Democratic presidential candidates, a new poll from NBC News/Telemundo/CNBC finds.

The poll found that among registered Latino voters, 54 percent support Harris while 40 percent support Trump. Another six percent said they were unsure or did not plan to vote.

But Harris’s 14-point lead is the smallest margin between Democratic and Republican presidential candidates since 2012.

In 2012, Barack Obama led Mitt Romney by 39 points, in 2016 Hillary Clinton led Trump by 50 points, in 2020 Joe Biden led Trump by 63 percent.

Donald Trump is due to visit Georgia to survey Hurricane Helene’s impact on the swing state later on Monday.

The former president is expected to receive a briefing, facilitate the distribution of relief supplies during the visit, and will deliver remarks at 2pm ET at the Chez What Furniture Store in Valdosta.

The White House announced on Sunday that President Joe Biden will visit Hurricane Helene-impacted regions this week as long as it does not disrupt rescue and recovery operations.

In a brief exchange with reporters on Sunday, the president described the impact of the storm as “stunning” and said that the administration is giving states “everything we have” to help with response efforts.

Donald Trump has declared that climate change is “one of the greatest scams” of our times – despite the fact that more than 95 people have died and several states have been devastated by Hurricane Helene.

In a campaign stop in Pennsylvania on Sunday, the former president claimed: “Do you ever notice, this was such a big deal the environmental stuff. I haven’t heard the environmental stuff mentioned in six months. I was saying the other night, ‘What the hell happened to the environment?’” He added to David McCormick, the Pennsylvania GOP senate challenger: “David, will you figure this out?”

“No but think about this,” Trump continued. “They never talk about the environment anymore. You know why? It’s one of the greatest scams of all time… people aren’t buying it any more. I don’t want to use bad language, my wife said, ‘Please don’t use bad language.’”

On Sunday, the head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) said that the severe flooding and subsequent devastation caused by Hurricane Helene is linked to the climate emergency.

Speaking to CBS’s Face The Nation on Sunday, Deanne Criswell said that rising temperatures in the Gulf were causing conditions that caused “significant infrastructure damage” that had affected a multi-state area.
