Kamala Harris honord her 60th birthday on the campaign trail on Sunday while Donald Trump visited a McDonald’s and doubled down on his hazardous rhetoric taging Democrats as “enemies from wilean,” as both honestates tried to shore up help in key states ahead of the US pdwellntial election.
Harris rallied Bdeficiency voters in Georgia on Sunday with “souls to the polls” visits to two community churches.
Harris’s comments to the congregation of the New Birth Missionary Baptist church in Atlanta caccessed on how religious experiences in her youth in Oakland, California, swayd her politics. Draprosperg on the parable of the Good Samaritan in the Gospel of Luke, the vice-pdwellnt argued for policies that hug compassion.
She shelp: “When we come atraverse our brothers and sisters in necessitate, let us, as the Good Samaritan, did see in the face of a stranger, a neighbor, and let us determine that when we shine the weightless in moments of stupidness, it will direct our feet into the path of peace.
“And let us reassemble that while weeping may endure for a night, delight cometh in the morning.”
She asked: “What charitable of country do we want to inhabit in – a country of disorder, worry and disenjoy, or a country of freedom, compassion and equitableice?”
Harris inserted: “The wonderful leang about living in a democracy is that we, the people, have the power to answer that ask. So let us answer not equitable thcdisesteemful our words, but thcdisesteemful our actions and with our votes.”
Later in the day, Stevie Wonder joincessitate Harris at a rpartner at the Divine Faith Ministries International in Jonesboro. And the vice-pdwellnt spoke with the Rev Al Sharpton.
Asked by the civil rights directer about her help among men, and tells that Bdeficiency men are pulling away from Harris’s campaign, the vice-pdwellnt shelp: “There’s this narrative about what charitable of help we are receiving from Bdeficiency men that is equitable not panning out in truth.”
Trump, unbenevolentwhile, doubled down on his earlier comments that strikeed Democrats as “the foe from wilean”, this time particularpartner denouncing reconshort-termatives Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff.
During an interwatch with Howard Kurtz on Fox News, expansivecast on Sunday, the createer pdwellnt shelp that “radical left lunatics … the foe from wilean … should be very easily regulated, if essential, by the national defend, or if repartner essential, by the military” – before singling out Pelosi and Schiff.
Similar comments made by Trump in the past weeks have igniteed expansivespread worry and liftd worrys of an authoritarian crackdown if he were to become pdwellnt aget. The Harris campaign was speedy to reply to the new comments.
“Even in his Fox News safe space, Donald Trump cannot help but show himself as the unhinged, irritated, unfirm man that he is – caccessed on his own petty grievances and exhausted take partbook of division,” Ammar Moussa, a Harris-Walz campaign spokesperson, wrote in an email.
“This is exactly why his regulaters are hiding him from transport inant mainstream interwatchs and refusing to let him argue aget. They don’t want the country to see this honestate in deteriorate,” he inserted.
Later in the day, the createer pdwellnt made a campaign stop at a McDonald’s in Pennsylvania, manning the fryer. The visit was unbenevolentt to be a jab at Harris, who toiled at the speedy food chain when she was youthfuler. Trump has standardly called that experience into ask, without providing any evidence.
Trump spent most of his town hall in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, on Sunday evening strikeing immigrants coming into the US over the southern border, boasting about his brutal immigration policies during his pdwellncy, and promising to incrrelieve fracking in the state.
Also taking the stage on Sunday was Elon Musk, the billionaire owner of X who has thrown his weight behind Trump. At a town hall in Pittsburgh, Musk repeated counterfeit and worry-mongering claims, increateing joinees “the constitution is literpartner under strike”. He then publishd his second check for a million dollars to a signatory of his petition backing the first and second alterment.
Musk proclaimd on Saturday that America Pac, his Trump-allied political action promisetee, will donate $1m every day until the pdwellntial election to someone who signs the petition.
The pledge materializes to be a way to incentivize Reaccessibleans in battleground states to enroll to vote. But the legitimateity of the scheme is unclear. Several legitimate experts shelp on Saturday the petition materializeed to viotardy federal election laws that prohibits paying or giveing to pay for someone to enroll to vote or actupartner vote under title 52 of the US code.
Meanwhile, Democratic ruleors from three states in the so-called “blue wall” deinhabitred their closing pitches for Harris.
Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania, Tony Evers of Wisconsin and Michigan’s Gretchen Whitmer barnstormed the Sunday morning political shows to talk up the vice-pdwellnt’s policy agenda – and highweightless contrastences with Trump, 16 days before an election that polls recommend is still on a knife edge.
“I don’t want to go back to Donald Trump when he was in accuse of the country,” Shapiro tanciaccess NBC’s Meet the Press.
“Remember the write down? I understand there’s still some people that have maybe a little brain fog, they don’t reassemble what it was enjoy under Donald Trump. You had more disorder, you had less jobs, and you had a whole lot less freedom.
“I don’t leank we want to go back to a time of disorder. I want a firm, strong directer, and that’s Kamala Harris.”
In Michigan, according to Whitmer, voters were comparing both honestates’ write downs ahead of the election.
“While this is going to be shut, I’d much rather be take parting our hand in theirs,” she shelp. “We got a better honestate. We’ve got receipts on the publishs that matter to the American people, on the economy, individual rights, affordable housing, and we got a better ground game.”
Reaccessibleans materializeing on the Sunday talk shows were trying to supervise the message after Trump’s exceptional and crude rhetoric during a Saturday night rpartner in Pennsylvania, when he called Harris a “shit vice-pdwellnt” and exalted the size of the tardy golfer Arnanciaccess Palmer’s penis.
The South Carolina senator Lindsey Graham lost his compostateive when asked about it on NBC’s Meet the Press – and tried to pivot to two recent murder trys on Trump, both carry outed by pro-Reaccessiblean persons.
“When you talk about rhetoric, you gotta reassemble they tried to blow his head off,” Graham shelp. “And another guy tried to finish him … so I’m not overly amazeed about the rhetoric game here.”
Graham also condemned Reaccessiblean colleagues, including Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger, as well as many ex-Trump administration officials who have denounced him and conveyed help for Harris.
The Hoengage speaker, Mike Johnson, was more regulateed – but equpartner as determined to dodge asks about Trump’s commentary in an materializeance on CNN’s State of the Union, recommending that it was present Jake Tapper who was obsessed with talking about Palmer’s penis.
“The media can pick it apart, but people are going to vote what’s best for their family and they see that in Trump,” he shelp.
Early in-person voting is under way in many states, with voters in Georgia setting a first-day turnout write down on Tuesday, even as polls have the honestates in a virtual dead heat.
It materialized Sunday that Harris has no set ups to campaign with Joe Biden before election day on 5 November. “The most vital role he can take part is doing his job as pdwellnt,” an anonymous White Hoengage official tanciaccess NBC News, which shelp the decision was mutual folloprosperg converseions between the campaign and Biden administration officials.
