Trump fantasizes about Liz Cheney being shot at; Vance claims GOP has got ‘normal gay guy vote’

With four days of campaigning to go in the 2024 race, Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are making their final pitches to voters, spending Thursday hosting Halloween rallies across the crucial Sun Belt states of Arizona and Nevada.

Having already addressed two gatherings of his supporters, the former president ended his day in a sit-down interview with Tucker Carlson on stage in Glendale, Arizona, at which he shockingly fantasised about former Republican congresswoman Liz Cheney being shot at.

He also attacked senior Democrats Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton and Adam Schiff and warned baselessly against “cheating” at the polls and forced sex-change operations in schools.

Vice President Harris closed out Thursday with a rally in Las Vegas in which singer and actor Jennifer Lopez emotionally endorsed her.

Trump’s running mate JD Vance was meanwhile interviewed by influential podcaster Joe Rogan, at which he gushed over Trump, claimed the Republican ticket could pick up “the normal gay guy vote” and scaremongered about the imposition of Sharia law in Minnesota.

Both Harris and Trump will be in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on Friday, a city the Republican insulted prior to its hosting this summer’s Republican National Convention.

Key Points

• JD Vance and Joe Rogan gush over Trump as deputy says they can win ‘normal gay guy vote’

• Trump: ‘Nothing is more dangerous than to give immense power to a weak and not very smart person’

• Republican’s claim he will put RFK Jr in charge of women’s health sparks concern

Harris may have big early voting lead despite Trump’s claims GOP is winning, polling suggests

13:25 , Joe Sommerlad

Despite Donald Trump’s boasts of an “unprecedented” lead in early voting, polling suggests that Kamala Harris is actually significantly ahead among those who have already voted either through absentee, mail-in or in-person ballots.

Recent national polling from ABC News/Ipsos, The News York Times/Sienna College and CNN show that Harris leads Trump 62 percent to 33 percent; 59 percent to 40 percent; and 61 percent to 36 percent respectively, according to an analysis by The Washington Post.

The same trend is also true across almost all of the swing states, according to surveys from CNN, Fox News, Marist Poll and USA Today/Suffolk University.

Republicans Against Trump group blasts swing states with billboards in final weekend before election

11:05 , Joe Sommerlad

The Super PAC run by former GOP operatives that’s been working to convert former Trump voters into supporters of Kamala Harris is making a final push in key swing states with a massive billboard campaign meant to hammer home the message that it’s OK for a Republican to vote for a Democrat this time around.

On Friday, Republican Voters Against Trump rolled out a six-figure campaign to cover the sides of main roads in three key swing states with signs featuring ex-Trump voters who are now voting for Harris.

The billboards will be placed in “swarms” in which multiple signs will greet drivers, back-to-back, as they commute over the next few days. They will run in the Philadelphia, Milwaukee and Detroit media markets on November 1 and November 4.

Trump’s claim he will put RFK Jr in charge of women’s health sparks concern

10:45 , Joe Sommerlad

The Republican said twice yesterday that the conspiracy-minded vaccine-sceptic will be given responsibility for women’s health in his prospective future administration.

This was Harris’s pithy response to that nightmare scenario.

This meme is also reason enough not to appoint the former independent candidate to anything.

But RFK Jr may not even be the weirdest member of Trump’s hypothetical next Cabinet…

Before we recap the Republican’s other big event yesterday, here’s a look at his number two’s sitdown with Rogan.

Amusingly, the pair gushed that Trump looks better now than he did in 2016, only for the man himself to repay Vance for the compliment with this crushing remark in Albuquerque.

The Ohio Senator otherwise claimed the Republican ticket could pick up “the normal gay guy vote” and scaremongered about the imposition of Sharia law in Tim Walz’s Minnesota, which is, needless to say, not something that is actually happening.

Before his sit down with Tucker, Trump was in Henderson, Nevada, yesterday afternoon, where his rolling river of bile saw him utter the immortal words of Elon Musk: “In terms of computer, I would say he’s probably about as good as you get.”

He also threatened to shut down both ABC and CBS (imagine the lawsuits), twice declared himself the “father of IVF”, said Democrats are opposed to windows (?!), described all of America’s cities as dirty and smelly and attempted to put aside concerns about his authoritarian instincts by saying: “I am the least threat.”

Donald Trump fantasises about shooting of Liz Cheney in deranged Tucker Carlson live interview

09:05 , Joe Sommerlad

Good morning!

Let’s start with a look back at Donald Trump’s final event of Thursday, a 90-minute sitdown with Tucker Carlson, in which the Republican presidential nominee fantasised about the shooting of former Republican congresswoman Liz Cheney, a truly shocking moment.

Remember the post-Butler “new tone” we were promised in July?

In truth that was just one of several nasty attacks by Trump on his enemies, with personal insults dished out about Joe Biden, Adam Schiff and Hillary Clinton as Carlson sat there, variously chuckling obsequiously or blankly moon-faced.

We were also treated to warnings about election “cheating”, insane rants about crowd size, “the enemy within” and non-existent forced sex change operations.

Incredibly disturbing that this man, a twice-impeached convicted felon openly indulging violent revenge fantasises rather than offering coherent policy platforms for making people’s lives better, should be this close to the White House but here we are with four days to go.

With Election Day drawing near, Republican Larry Hogan believes he can convince Democrats to vote for him

08:00 , Oliver O’Connell

John Bowden reports from Odenton, Maryland:

Thursday was the perfect weather to do some last-minute voter canvassing. Larry Hogan said he might just do that.

Maryland’s former two-term governor is in the home stretch of a Senate campaign which began only in February — a run, he says, that was born out of frustration over the inaction just a short drive away in Washington, particularly as the Senate this year failed to reach a compromise (once again) on border security and immigration reform.

He was outside of the Odenton library on Thursday with less than a week to go in the election, revving up a small crowd of volunteers who were greeting early voters. Hogan spoke to a handful of supporters and journalists on scene and projected confidence, remarking that in every race he’d run, “everyone has always counted us out, and we’ve always come out on top”.

A line for early voting stretched out the door and around the corner of the library behind him as he spoke.

Independents are equally frustrated but less excited, interested, and anxious.

White House officials were pressured into altering the transcript of a Joe Biden call in which he appeared to refer to Donald Trump supporters as “garbage,” according to a report by the Associated Press, citing two U.S. government officials and an internal email.

The president had been criticizing a comment by a comedian at Trump’s New York rally last weekend calling Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage.”

He told a call with Latino supporters: “The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters [or supporter’s] — his — his demonization of Latinos is unconscionable, and it’s un-American.”

The comments caused a storm among conservatives.

Cash-strapped former Mayor Rudy Giuliani is allegedly not “ready” to hand over his New York City apartment after a federal judge ordered him to turn over his Manhattan penthouse and other valuables to two election workers he defamed.

A judge last week ordered Giuliani to transfer his Madison Avenue co-op apartment — along with cash, 26 watches, his Mercedes Benz that was allegedly previously owned by Lauren Bacall and other valuables — to Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, whom he has been ordered to pay $150 million in a defamation verdict. Now, he is not “ready” to make the transfer — even though movers planned to come to his apartment Thursday.

BREAKING: White House altered record of Biden’s ‘garbage’ remarks

01:56 , AP

White House press officials altered the official transcript of a call in which President Joe Biden appeared to take a swipe at supporters of Donald Trump, drawing objections from the federal workers who document such remarks for posterity, according to two U.S. government officials and an internal email obtained Thursday by The Associated Press.

Biden created an uproar earlier this week with his remarks to Latino activists responding to racist comments at a Trump rally made by the comedian Tony Hinchcliffe, who referred to the U.S. island territory of Puerto Rico as a “floating island of garbage.”

Biden, according to a transcript prepared by the official White House stenographers, told the Latino group on a Tuesday evening video call, “The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters — his — his demonization of Latinos is unconscionable, and it’s un-American.”

The transcript released by the White House press office, however, rendered the quote with an apostrophe, reading “supporter’s” rather than “supporters,” which aides said pointed to Biden criticizing Hinchcliffe, not the millions of Americans who are supporting Trump for president.

The change was made after the press office “conferred with the president,” according to an internal email from the head of the stenographers’ office that was obtained by The AP. The authenticity of the email was confirmed by two government officials who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss internal matters.

The supervisor, in the email, called the press office’s handling of the matter “a breach of protocol and spoilation of transcript integrity between the Stenography and Press Offices.”

“If there is a difference in interpretation, the Press Office may choose to withhold the transcript but cannot edit it independently,” the supervisor wrote, adding, “Our Stenography Office transcript — released to our distro, which includes the National Archives — is now different than the version edited and released to the public by Press Office staff.”

Georgia targeted by foreign disinformation campaign, state says

01:30 , Oliver O’Connell

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger says that the state has been targeted by a disinformation campaign attempting to “sow discord and chaos” ahead of the election.

He says the disinformation is likely “foreign interference” linked to Russia.

The statement reads in part:

Earlier today, our office became aware of a video purporting to show a Haitian immigrant with multiple Georgia ID’s claiming to have voted multiple times.

This is false, and is an example of targeted disinformation we’ve seen this election. It is likely foreign interference attempting to sow discord and chaos on the eve of the election.

We are working to combat this and identify the origin of it with our state and federal partners.

CISA is currently investigating. In the meantime, we ask Elon Musk and the leadership of other social media platforms to take this down. This is obviously fake and part of a disinformation effort.

Likely it is a production of Russian troll farms.

As Americans we can’t let our enemies use lies to divide us and undermine our faith in our institutions – or each other.
