With 1 week left, Harris goes to Washington and Trump goes to Pennsylvania

Vice President Kamala Harris will deliver her campaign “closing speech” on Tuesday from the same spot in Washington where former President Donald Trump helped incite a mob that attacked the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

With a week until Election Day, Harris’s speech at the grassy Ellipse near the White House was designed to encourage Americans to visualize alternative futures if she or Trump take over the Oval Office in less than three months.

Trump will deliver what his campaign calls “press statements” at 10 a.m. at his private club and home in Palm Beach, Florida. It’s unclear whether the Republican will take questions. He will travel to Pennsylvania for a Building America’s Future event at Drexel later in the day and a rally in Allentown on Tuesday night.

Harris calls Los Angeles Times and Washington Post’s decisions not to support presidential run ‘disappointing’

The Democratic presidential candidate made the comments during an interview with Charlamagne tha God, DJ Envy and Loren LoRosa for “The Breakfast Club,” which aired Tuesday morning.

Both newspapers announced last week that they would not support the presidential race between Harris and Republican Donald Trump.

Harris tried to pin the decisions on billionaires “in Donald Trump’s club.”

Both publications are owned by wealthy executives: Jeff Bezos of the Post and Patrick Soon-Shiong of the Times.

Arab American voters make their choice in the final days of the election: Harris, Trump or both

DEARBORN, Mich. — At a Lebanese restaurant near Detroit, tables were piled high with bowls of labneh and za’atar bread, but no one seemed to have much of an appetite.

On one side were senior representatives of Kamala Harris’ Arab American community. On the other side were local leaders who once again explained why many in the community could not vote for the vice president due to the war in Gaza.

“I love this country, but let me tell you, we’ve never been as disappointed in this country as we are right now,” said Nabih H. Ayad, president of the Arab American Civil Liberties Union. “We wanted to give the Democratic Party the opportunity to do something, but they didn’t.”

Ayad said, “The only line we cannot cross is genocide.”

GOP seeks to elect pro-Trump Jewish voters in swing states to narrow Democratic lead

WEST BLOOMFIELD, Michigan — Rachel Weinberg describes herself as a devout Jew first and a proud American second. He said he had only one choice for president: Donald Trump.

“I don’t like everything he says,” the 72-year-old retired kindergarten teacher from Michigan said after volunteer pollsters from the Republican Jewish Coalition knocked on her door Sunday. “But I vote for Israel. This is our life. I support Israel. Trump supports Israel with his mouth and his actions.”

Weinberg’s home in West Bloomfield in vote-rich Oakland County was among more than 20 homes the Republican Jewish Coalition visited that morning. He had also voted for Trump in previous elections.

The door-to-door outreach to Jewish voters with a history of supporting Republicans is part of the group’s new effort this year in five presidential battleground states in hopes of supporting Trump against Democrat Kamala Harris in the Nov. 5 election.
