Trump holds rally in Reno after unveiling ‘Operation Aurora’ during dark speech in Colorado: Live

Trump said Colorado has to “flip” into Republican hands in November’s election. The last Republican to win the state on the presidential level was George W Bush in 2004.

“That's why I'm here ... I'm not here for my health,” Trump said.

“I could be with the beautiful beaches all over the world. I could be in Monte Carlo. I could be all over the world ... And where am I? I'm right now in Aurora, and that's where I want to be,” he added.

House Republicans are becoming more and more frustrated with their colleague Marjorie Taylor Greene and her bizarre, and debunked, claims that Democrats are “controlling the weather” following the recent devastation caused by hurricanes in the southeastern US.

The Maga firebrand from Georgia has doubled down on her conspiracy, leading even her fellow party members to speculate that she “needs [her] head examined.”

Greene claimed online last week that “they” can control the weather after Hurricane Helene killed more than two dozen people in her state and more than 230 in total. On Wednesday she doubled down, clarifying that she was referring to governmental organizations including NOAA.

Trump said during his Friday rally in Aurora that he was in the city to “call the attention of the world ... to one of the most egregious betrayals that any leader in any nation has ever inflicted on its own people.”

“We are being led by stupid people, we cannot take it anymore,” he added.

“Kamala has imported an army of illegal alien gang members and migrant criminals from the dungeons of the Third World,” the former president argued.

“From prisons and jails, insane asylums and mental institutions, and she has had them resettled beautifully into your community to pray upon innocent American citizens,” he added. “That's what they're doing. And in no place is it more evident than right here. Because in Aurora, multiple apartment complexes have been taken over by the savage Venezuela prison gang known as Tren de Aragua.”

Police in the Denver suburb have rejected the claim that apartment complexes have been taken over.

Vice President Kamala Harris will go head-to-head with Donald Trump in less than a month as Americans cast their votes in the 2024 election.

With just weeks to go, a new poll now finds Trump leading in multiple swing states, with margins mostly too close to call between the two candidates.

But Trump may be losing his grip on older generations of voters, with the latest New York Times polls showing the two candidates split by a hairline — and Harris ahead by 3 points.

With nearly 1 in 10 Republicans leaning left, how will Harris and Trump fare in November?

The Trump campaign is using mugshots of gang members arrested in Aurora as a backdrop for his speech in the city on Friday afternoon.

Jose Miguel Reyes-Perez and Juan Carlos Mejia-Espana were two of 10 members identified by the Aurora Police Department last month, according to TND. Their mugshots were seen on stage behind Trump’s podium on Friday.

Police said they arrested Reyes-Perez earlier this year for aggravated assault, menacing, and vehicle theft.

Meija-Espana was detained following an alleged domestic dispute involving a weapon.

Where will the 2024 election be decided?

In short, everywhere.

A new batch of polls came out this week, with a little less than one month to go in the presidential election. Kamala Harris’s “honeymoon” surge is now officially over.

Donald Trump is on the rise. A new Quinnipiac poll of Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan this week showed him leading in the latter two; RealClearPolitics’s polling average now has him ahead for the first time in months in the state of Michigan, a state which spurned Hillary Clinton in 2016 but flipped back to Democratic control in 2020.

But what’s really clear — what Quinnipiac’s poll and every other survey of the race indicates this week — is how close the race is in every state. No candidate has a lead higher than the low single digits in more than a half dozen states, all of which will play a significant role in the Electoral College.

The conversation between Angela Alsobrooks and her opponent Larry Hogan started off cordial, even friendly on Thursday evening.

It was a vibe that lasted for all of about thirty seconds.

Within moments of the debate hosted by NBC’s Chuck Todd kicking off on Maryland Public Television (MPT), the two candidates had dropped the cordiality and were trading accusations of dishonesty. That’s a sign of not just the passionate state of politics in 2024, but the stakes on the line in Maryland, where Hogan’s candidacy puts a formerly safe Democratic seat in the US Senate in real contention for the first time in many years.

Mark Milley, the US Army general who Donald Trump appointed as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, now says the current Republican presidential nominee is a “fascist to the core” and says no person has ever posed more of a danger to the United States than the man who served as the 45th President of the United States.

Milley, a decorated military officer who became a target for right-wing scorn after it became known that he expressed concerns over Trump’s mental stability in the wake of his 2020 election loss to Joe Biden, is described by journalist Bob Woodward in his new book, War, as incredibly alarmed at the prospect of a second Trump term in the White House. The Independent obtained a copy ahead of the book’s October 15 release date.

In the wake of the January 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol by a riotous mob of the then-president’s supporters, Woodward writes that Milley insisted on securing a meeting with the then-newly-minted attorney general, Merrick Garland, to urge him to investigate domestic violent extremism and far-right militia movements.

Donald Trump is watching Kamala Harris’s post-debate media blitz. He’s watching, and he’s not happy about it.

And as the former president struggles to mend his own self-inflicted wounds, Harris has taken on an energetic campaign schedule. The vice president has held multiple rallies and smaller events, while also hitting the interview circuit to reach wider audiences. Trump, meanwhile, has remained on the trail as well, with multiple events on his weekly calendar.

As the former president plays to the crowds of supporters at his rallies, however, he clearly has his mind on the larger audiences Harris is reaching with appearances on 60 Minutes, The View and even the Spotify podcast Call Her Daddy.

On Wednesday, at a rally in Pennsylvania, he highlighted some of his opponent’s media tour onstage, playing a clip of Harris’s interview with The View. Sunny Hostin, who asked Harris what she would have done differently than Joe Biden over the last four years had she been president, was a target of ridicule.
