Harris’ ancestral village in India cheers for ‘daughter of this land’

Trump criticized Jewish Democrats during his Pennsylvania rally, repeating a refrain he has previously emphasized.

“Any Jewish person that votes for her or a Democrat has to go out and have their head examined,” Trump said. “Because if you see what’s happening with Israel and Jewish people right now, there has never been, there has never been a more dangerous time since the Holocaust if you happen to be Jewish in America.”

The former president has previously attacked Jewish Democrats,

As he closed out his speech, Walz urged the crowd to stay enthusiastic through Election Day. “Look, over the next 80 days, Vice President Harris and I will be across this country,” he told the attendees, adding that they need to “work hard. We can sleep when we’re dead.”

“We need each and every one of you. We do nothing alone. We need you on the team on Nov. 5,” Walz continued. “At the end of that day, when the ballots close across this country. I want to know, and you want to know, we left it all on the field.”

Walz tells ‘old school libertarian, Republican’ Nebraskans ‘this is the ticket for you’

In his remarks, Walz brings up the notion of freedom, blasting modern Republicans, saying: “When they talk about freedom, they mean the government should be free to invade your exam room, or that corporations should be free to pollute the air and water; banks should be free to take advantage of the least fortunate.”

He continued, “Look, in Minnesota, we respect our neighbors and their personal choices,” before adding what has become one of Walz’s signature lines on the campaign trail: “We live by the golden rule, and that golden rule is, mind your own damn business.”

The vice presidential nominee appealed directly to “old school libertarian, Republican Nebraskan[s],” telling them, “this is the ticket for you.”

He added, “The traditional Republican party before Donald Trump, contributed much to this state and this great nation, but he’s not that today.”

Walz blasts Trump: ‘Can you picture Donald Trump working the McFlurry machine?’

Aubrianna Faustman, a former high school geography student of Walz’s, introduced him at the Nebraska rally.

Faustman was taught by Walz and his wife, Gwen, who taught her English.

As he took the stage, Walz thanked Aubrey, telling the crowd: “There’s nothing as a teacher that makes you prouder than to see the success of one of your former students and to have Aubrey here. So thank you, Aubrey.”

Will protesters, or police, be the problem at the Democratic National Convention?

Walz rally attendees on Harris-Walz ticket: ‘It’s electrifying’

There are 8 million teens eligible to vote. These high school students are trying to make sure more do.

Where’s Walz?

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, Harris’ running mate, will be in Omaha today.

A West Point, Nebraska, native, Walz is capitalizing on his roots in an effort to swing some electoral votes the Democrats’ way.

Nebraska is one of two states that divide up electoral votes — meaning that despite being a red state, the area surrounding Omaha is in play for both campaigns. Biden won the district in 2020, but Trump won it in 2016.

The rally — one of the final campaign events ahead of the Democratic National Convention — was listed as being “at capacity.”

Where’s Trump?

Trump is returning to Pennsylvania today, marking his second visit since the attempt on his life in Butler.

Trump will be speaking to supporters in Wilkes-Barre at the Mohegan Sun Arena this afternoon, his campaign announced.
