With less than a week to go in the US presidential election race, Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are making their final pitches to voters.
The Democratic presidential nominee has hit back at her Republican rival after he vowed to “protect” women “whether the women like it or not” at a rally in Green Bay, Wisconsin, on Wednesday.
“Donald Trump thinks he should get to make decisions about what you do with your body. Whether you like it or not,” Harris posted on X.
In a bizarre stunt prior to his speech, Trump had posed in a garbage truck dressed as a sanitation worker in an attempt to troll Harris and Joe Biden after the latter allegedly called MAGA voters “garbage” in anger over comedian Tony Hinchcliffe’s already-notorious Madison Square Garden joke about Puerto Rico.
The publicity gimmick was not entirely a success, with Trump struggling to climb into the waste collection vehicle’s cab, looking ridiculous in a high-visibility vest and spending time circling the airport tarmac to no obvious end.
The latest swing state polling meanwhile puts Harris narrowly ahead in Wisconsin and Michigan.
Kenneth Chesebro’s law license in New York has been suspended over his attempts to overturn the 2020 election.
The attorney, who helped put together the Trump campaign’s fake electors plot, pleaded guilty in October last year to being part of a conspiracy in the Georgia election subversion case.
In June of this year, Chesebro was charged with forgery in Wisconsin by the state’s attorney general.
Fox News host Jesse Watters said during a segment of The Five that if his wife secretly voted for Vice President Kamala Harris, it would be “like having an affair.”
The panel was discussing a recent Harris campaign ad voiced by actress Jessica Roberts, suggesting to women that they can vote for the VP without telling their Trump-backing husbands.
Watters admitted in 2018 that his relationship with his now-wife Emma DiGiovine began as an affair during his first marriage. DiGiovine was a producer on his show at the time, according to Mediaite. The affair led to Watters’s first wife filing for divorce.
Fox News host says vote for Harris ‘violates the sanctity of our marriage. What else is she keeping from me? What is she lying about?’
Tim Walz said on Thursday that women voters will “send a loud and clear message to Donald Trump … whether he likes it or not.”
The Harris campaign has seized on comments from Trump on Wednesday night saying that he would protect women whether they “like it or not.”
Former Republican Congresswoman Liz Cheney, who has endorsed Harris, called rightwing activist Charlie Kirk a “twit as he lambasted the Democrat’s campaign for urging women to vote for the vice president without telling their husbands.
Most Americans are anxious and frustrated right now but also gripped by the campaign for the White House as it enters its final days, according to a new poll.
While Democrats and Republicans largely have similar emotions about the upcoming showdown, the former are more likely to be anxious compared to their conservative counterparts, according to the AP-NORC poll.

You probably already know whether this matters to you but, if not, here’s the social media personality and boxer explaining himself – and admitting to being nervous about what his decision might mean for his career if it doesn’t pay off.
Jake Paul admits he’s “nervous” as he reveals his presidential endorsement in a 20-minute video. The YouTube star and boxer posted a video on X, on Thursday (31 October), revealing who he has chosen to support in the US presidential election. The 27-year-old said: “I am nervous and scared to make this video because of what it means in terms of my career and life and people coming after me.” Paul continues: “I don’t know everything but these are my opinions. “Please vote, for the love of God, go exercise your right to vote.” Watch the video above to find out his decision.
“They” are always “taking things out of context” aren’t they?
I think this reading from Harris’s spokesperson is a lot closer to the truth.
But you can judge for yourself about the House Speaker’s comments on “taking a blowtorch” to the Affordable Care Act by checking the tape below.
In the same interview with Fox Business’s Maria Bartiromo this morning, Johnson also insists that this time there really will be a “red wave” on Election Day, which emphatically did not materialise during the 2022 midterms, despite much hype.
