Arizona. Nevada. Georgia.
These three states could ultimately decide the 2024 race for the White House. They’re also the states where former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris will make their pitch to voters on Thursday.
Trump held a rally in Tempe, Arizona, and addressed an event with the conservative group Turning Point Action in Las Vegas in the evening.
Harris held a campaign stop on Thursday in Atlanta, and she was joined by former President Barack Obama and music icon Bruce Springsteen.
Keep up with the USA TODAY Network’s live coverage.
Springsteen says Trump is ‘running to be an American tyrant’
Music giant Bruce Springsteen told a crowd of 20,000 people that Donald Trump is “running to be an American tyrant.”
Springsteen, a longtime Democratic activist, played an acoustic set of three hits – “The Promised Land,” “Land of Hope and Dreams” and “Dancing in the Dark” – before Harris and former President Barack Obama took the stage at the James R. Hallford Stadium in Atlanta.
“I’m Bruce Springsteen and I am here today to support Kamala Harris and Tim Walz for president and vice president of the United States and to oppose Donald Trump and JD Vance,” Springsteen said.
Springsteen said Harris “wants to protect and guide our great democracy, believes in the rule of law and the peaceful transfer of power.” He said Harris will “fight for a woman’s right to choose” and “create a middle class economy that will serve for all our citizens.
“There is only one candidate in this election who holds those principles dear: Kamala Harris. She’s running to be the 47th president of the United States. Donald Trump is running to be an American tyrant. He does not understand this country, its history or what it means to be deeply American,” Springsteen said.

Trump denounces Kelly, rejects Hitler comparison
Trump remains on the defensive over John Kelly, the former White House chief of staff who described him as basically a fascist who sometimes said nice things about Adolf Hitler.
“I fired him (Kelly),” Trump told Fox News Channel’s Bill Melugin in an interview broadcast Thursday evening. “He made a statement that I’m like Hitler . . . Just couldn’t be further from the truth. It’s just the opposite, actually.”
Trump also called Kelly “a bully. He was a bad guy and he ended up being a weak guy, because all bullies end up being weak. And he wasn’t a smart guy. It’s a bad combination.”
Harris and her allies, meanwhile, are trumpeting Kelly’s remarks published earlier this week in The New York Times.
On his personal X account, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said: “It’s one thing for some leftist group to call you a fascist. Quite another when it’s a fellow Republican. And absolutely astonishing when it’s your own chief of staff.”

Obama mocks Trump COVID checks: ‘Don’t be bamboozled’
More than four years after the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, some Trump voters credit the former president sending Americans stimulus checks as one reason for their support.
But at a Harris campaign rally outside Atlanta, Obama sought to smack down that rationale.
“The other thing I hear – some folks will be like, ‘Donald Trump sent me a check during the pandemic,’” Obama said in remarks introducing Harris to the stage. “I’ve heard this, and I know some of ya’ll have heard that.”
The $1,200 checks from the Treasury Department in the spring of 2020 included Trump’s signature. One year later, COVID-19 checks also went to Americans in the Biden administration.
“Let me make sure y’all understand this,” Obama said, prompting laughter and cheers. “Joe Biden sent you a check during the pandemic, just like I gave people relief during the Great Recession. The thing is, we didn’t put our name on it because it wasn’t about feeding our egos. It wasn’t about advancing our politics. It was about helping people. That’s the difference.
“He sent you a check,” Obama said with a strong hint of sarcasm. “Do not fall for that okey-doke. Don’t be bamboozled.”

JD Vance addresses comments about migrants
During a NewsNation town hall on Thursday, Republican Vice-Presidential candidate JD Vance addressed the baseless claims he spread in September that Haitian immigrants were eating pets in Springfield, Ohio.
“What I said then, and I’ll say now, is, you’re hearing a lot of things from your constituents. They’re telling you things, and I think it’s important for me to listen to the people that are coming to me with their problems,” Vance said during the Detroit town hall.
“Do I wish that I had been better in that moment? Maybe,” Vance, who represents Ohio in the Senate, said. “But it’s also people in my community, people that I represent are coming to me and saying, this thing is happening. What am I supposed to do?”
Vance in September pushed false claims that Haitian migrants in the small Midwestern town were abducting and eating their neighbors’ pets. Donald Trump echoed the claims during his debate with Kamala Harris the same month. But the mayor of Springfield and local police have said the accounts are untrue.
Vance wore socks during Thursday’s town hall with pictures of his family dog who passed away earlier this year.

Harris urges voters to ‘imagine oval office in three months’
At a raucous campaign rally outside Atlanta Thursday night, Harris framed her race against Trump by having voters visualize the scene in the Oval Office after Inauguration Day next year.
“Just imagine the Oval Office in three months. Picture it in your mind,” Harris said. “It’s either Donald Trump in there, stewing – stewing – over his enemies list, or me working for you, checking off my to-do list.
“You have the power to make that decision. It is your power.”
Harris debuted the “enemies list/to-do list” line during a CNN town hall Wednesday night. It’s the centerpiece of her closing argument to voters.
In the homestretch of the 2024 campaign, Harris has aggressively attacked Trump as a threat to democracy, casting him as a vengeful dictator who wants to go after his political adversaries.
“Georgia, I ask you: Are you ready to make your voices heard?” Harris said, 12 days before the Nov. 5 election. “Do we believe in freedom? Do we believe in opportunity? Do we believe in the promise of America? And are we ready to fight for it?”
The crowd roared in applause.
“And when we fight, we win!” Harris said, ending on one of her campaign’s go-to slogans.

Trump calls into JD Vance town hall
JD Vance received a question from a special guest during his NewsNation town hall in Detroit on Thursday night: Donald Trump.
Anchor Chris Cuomo joked with Vance that, “Not unlike Beetlejuice, if you invoke the former president’s names too many times in a row, he’s going to want to weigh in on what is being said.”
Trump had called to ask Vance a pressing question – “How brilliant is Donald J Trump?”
Vance told his running mate that the town hall was supposed to be for undecided voters. “I would hope that I have your vote of all people,” he quipped.
Trump also asked Vance “How brilliant is Kamala?” but the Ohio Senator deflected. “Oh, that’s a tough one, sir,” he told Trump.

Samuel L. Jackson jokes that he and Kamala Harris have the same favorite curse word
At a Harris campaign rally Thursday night in Atlanta, actor Samuel L. Jackson joked that he and the Democratic nominee have something in the common – they have the same favorite curse word. Jackson, star of Pulp Fiction and other films, is known for his variations of “mother f—er.”
In a video that surfaced over the summer, Harris indicated it is also her go-to curse word.
“She’s running on a proven track record of fighting for the people, standing up to bullies, protecting the most vulnerable and taking on the toughest fights,” Jackson said. “And we heard her favorite curse word is a favorite of mine, too! But I ain’t gonna say – uh- that word.
“I don’t know about you, but that’s the kind of president I can stand behind. That’s the kind of president I can see leading our country forward.”
Jackson, film director Spike Lee and others were among the warm-up acts for a Harris campaign rally featuring musician Bruce Springsteen, former President Barack Obama and Harris.

Trump uses dehumanizing language about migrants at Arizona rally
Trump is talking more and more about immigration issues at his rallies as Election Day approaches.
During his Thursday rally in Arizona, he told the crowd of supporters “When we win on November 5th, the migrant invasion ends and the restoration of our country begins.”
Trump, who once made inflation and the economy his top issues on the campaign trail, said earlier this week that immigration is now “the number one thing to campaign on.” In denouncing the U.S. immigration system, Trump said, “we’re like a garbage can for the world.”
Opponents have accused Trump of exaggerating the impact of illegal border crossings and criticized his plans for mass deportations.
Election official in Reno, Nevada tells AP she was forced out before 2024 election
The top election official in a key swing county in Nevada told the Associated Press Wednesday that she was forced out of her job just weeks before the presidential election.
Her comments are just the latest election-related dustup in the Reno-area county where right-wing activists who dispute election results have mounted a yearslong pressure campaign focused on the workers who run elections and officials who certify them.
Cari-Ann Burgess, who served as the interim voter registrar for Washoe County took a stress-releated leave of absence starting in September, a county spokesperson previously told the USA TODAY Network.
But she told the Associated Press she had a conflict with the county manager and offered to return to her previously held position as deputy registrar, but instead was forced to make a written request for a leave of absence.

Trump and Harris neck-and-neck in swing state polls
A new batch of polls released Thursday show the presidential race remains tight in many of the states likely to matter most.
Trump is leading Harris by one percentage point in polls by Marist College and Emerson College in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Arizona. The GOP nominee is leading the vice president by two percentage points in polls by the same institutions in North Carolina.
The two candidates are tied 49% to 49% in another poll by Marist College in Georgia.
Trump’s leads and the tie all fall within the polls’ margins of error.

Obama calls Trump a ‘wannabe king’
Former President Barack Obama called former President Donald Trump “a wannabe king” and a “wannabe dictator” Thursday night at a Harris campaign rally outside of Atlanta as he seized on recent comments from Trump’s former chief of staff, John Kelly.
“In politics, a good rule of thumb is don’t say you want to do anything like Hitler,” Obama said in front of 20,000 people in Clarkston, Georgia.
Obama was referencing Kelly’s recent interview with the New York Times in which the former general and ex-Trump aide said Trump exhibited fascist tendencies in the White House and made admirable statements about Hitler.
“I happen to know John Kelly and Mark Milley,” Obama said, also singling the former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff who has also criticized Trump. “They are not quote, unquote, ‘woke liberals,’ They are people who have never in the past even talked about politics because they believe that the military should be above politics.”
Obama said Kelly and Milley have spoken out “because they have seen that in Donald Trump’s mind, the military does not exist to serve the Constitution or the American people.” Obama said Trump thinks the military is to “serve his interests.”
“And so my question to you, then, Georgia is: How is any of that going to help you? We do not need four years of a wannabe king, a wannabe dictator running around trying to punish his enemies. That is not what you need in your life America is ready to turn the page.”

In Pennsylvania, Democrat have early voting lead
With Election Day just two weeks away on Nov. 5, more than 11.5% of Pennsylvania’s more than 9 million registered voters have returned a mail ballot so far in the all-important 2024 battleground.
Approximately 1 million of the 1.78 million voters who requested a mail-in or absentee ballots for the presidential election featuring Democratic nominee Kamala Harris and Republican nominee Donald Trump have returned them to their respective county’s board of election, according to data from the Pennsylvania Department of State last updated Tuesday morning.
Democratic voters lead in both mail ballot requests and ballots returned as of Friday, with that party’s voters making up almost 58% of applications and 62% of returned ballots, according to the state’s data.
Democrats have historically favored voting by mail in Pennsylvania with no-excuse mail ballots since 2020, the first election after Act 77 of 2019 allowing the ballot option was signed into law for the commonwealth.

When will the election results be announced?
It is not clear exactly when the election results will be announced, as the timing depends on a variety of factors. Each state handles its elections differently, ranging from weeks-long early voting to strict voter ID laws.
But you can anticipate delays.
Some key swing states that Donald Trump and Kamala Harris are vying for, like Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, aren’t permitted to start processing absentee and mail-in ballots until Election Day, which is expected to slow down the count.

Did Beyoncé back Joe Biden? What about Hillary Clinton?
Beyoncé is expected to appear with Kamala Harris on Friday in her home state of Texas. It’s not the first time the “Cowboy Carter” singer has backed the vice president’s White House bid – she also gave her blessing for Harris to use her song “Freedom” as an unofficial campaign anthem.
Beyoncé has weighed in on politics before. She posted a clip of herself ahead of Election Day 2020 wearing a Biden-Harris face mask, and she headlined a concert alongside her husband, rapper Jay Z, for Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign.

Joy no more: Harris takes sharper tone while campaigning against Trump
Gone is the joy. In it’s place, rising alarm.
Vice President Kamala Harris has taken an increasingly fatalist approach to campaigning that centers on the threat she says former President Donald Trump would present to democracy if he returns to office.
“He’s going to sit there unstable, unhinged, plotting his revenge, plotting his retribution, creating an enemies list,” she said Wednesday evening during a town hall on CNN.
Harris referred to Trump as a “fascist” during the town hall, echoing comments made by his former chief of staff John Kelly in an interview this week, and hit him for reportedly praising aspects of Hitler’s leadership, also according to Kelly.
Standing outside the vice president’s mansion at the Naval Observatory in Washington earlier in the day, Harris warned that Trump “is increasingly unhinged and unstable” and said “people like John Kelly would not be there to be the guardrail against his propensities and his actions” in a second term.
Over the past week, Harris has hammered Trump at most campaign events for comments he’s made in the final days of the race about wielding the power of the presidency to muzzle dissenters and punish his political opponents.
If her approach has taken a darker turn, Harris says, it’s because Trump’s conduct has made it necessary.
“He’s becoming increasingly unstable and unhinged, and it requires that response,” she told reporters over the weekend. “I think the American people are seeing it, witnessing it in real time.”

Shootings and a bombing escalate threats against election, government workers
Threats against election workers and other public officials have moved beyond calls and texts to shootings and a bombing in this incendiary political season.
Threats that resulted in charges this week include a Philadelphia man vowing to “skin” and kill a state party official for recruiting poll watchers and an Alabama man threatening to execute election officials in Arizona.
An Arizona man was charged with shootings at a Democratic Party campaign office. And a California man was charged with bombing a courthouse.
“As we approach Election Day, the Justice Department’s warning remains clear: anyone who illegally threatens an election worker, official, or volunteer will face the consequences,” Attorney General Merrick Garland said in announcing action in four cases this week.

Bill Clinton calls Trump ‘Mr. Brand and Blame’
Former President Bill Clinton called Donald Trump “Mr. Brand and Blame” while addressing a group of Black leaders in Phoenix, Arizona, Wednesday.
Considered one of the “must-win” swing states in the 2024 election, polls show the presidential race is tight in Arizona. Clinton, who flipped the state blue when he ran for reelection in 1996, said Kamala Harris might be in better shape there than in other states that are typically “more Democratic.”
“He’s gotta take the election away from them by distraction and division,” Clinton said of the 2024 Republican nominee Wednesday. “She’s the clear choice.”

Trump makes it public: He would fire Special Counsel Jack Smith
Trump made it official on Thursday: If he is re-elected, he would dismiss Special Counsel Jack Smith, who is prosecuting two cases against him.
“I would fire him within two seconds,” Trump told radio show host Hugh Hewitt.
Smith is the top prosecutor in two cases against Trump, one involving efforts to overturn the 2020 election and the other dealing with the mishandling of classified documents.
It’s always been understood that these federal cases would go away if Trump reclaims the White House.
What’s less understood is what might happen with Trump’s conviction in the New York hush money case and another 2020 election case out of Georgia.

Tucker Carlson likens Trump to a dad giving U.S. a “vigorous spanking”
Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson riled up the crowd at a Georgia rally Wednesday with an unusual metaphor.
He compared former President Donald Trump to a “pissed” father coming home to punish his daughter, the country, in the case he is reelected on Nov. 5.
“He’s not vengeful. He loves his children, disobedient as they may be,” Carlson said. “When dad comes home, you know what he says? ‘You’ve been a bad girl. You’ve been a bad little girl and you’re getting a vigorous spanking right now.’”
Later when Trump took the stage, members of the audience chanted “Daddy’s home.”
Carlson’s comments quickly drew criticism online from Democrats

Former GOP representative Fred Upton endorses Harris
Republican former U.S. Rep. Fred Upton, a respected legislator who represented Michigan for 36 years and became chairman of the powerful Energy and Commerce Committee, has endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for president, her campaign said Thursday morning.
“I have already cast my ballot for Vice President Kamala Harris to be our next president of the United States,” Upton said in the statement.
He added that he’s never voted for a Democratic president, until now. Upton was one of the 10 Republicans who split with his party to vote to impeach Trump for his role in instigating the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol as Congress met to certify the 2020 election for Democratic President Joe Biden.

Bruce Springsteen to rally with Harris in Atlanta
Harris is looking to get a campaign boost from music icon Bruce Springsteen, as is tradition for many Democratic presidential candidates.
Springsteen will headline a series of concerts in the final weeks of the election, beginning with an appearance in Atlanta Thursday and Philadelphia on Monday. Former President Barack Obama will be at both events and Harris plans to attend today, according to her campaign.

Harris says Trump is a fascist at CNN town hall
Harris said Wednesday that she believes former President Donald Trump is a fascist and his ex-chief of staff is “putting out a 9-1-1 call” to the American people to consider the implications of his potential return to the White House.
Appearing at a CNN town hall in Delaware County in Pennsylvania, Harris invoked former White House chief of staff John Kelly’s claim that Trump made positive comments about Hitler and agreed with his assessment that Trump is a “fascist.”
“Yes, I do,” she said. “And I also believe that the people who know him best on this subject should be trusted.”

Why a majority of voters think Donald Trump should face charges even if he’s elected
A majority of Americans think it would be “wrong” for Donald Trump to have the Justice Department drop federal charges against him if he wins back the White House, according to a new USA TODAY/Suffolk University Poll.
Legal observers say there’s no chance a Trump Justice Department would continue the two federal cases he has asked judges to dismiss as a “witch hunt” led by a prosecutor he calls “deranged.” But nearly 58% of likely voters who responded to the poll said it would be “wrong” for Trump to direct the department to drop the charges, compared to 30% saying it would be the “right” thing to do. Nearly one in 10 were undecided.
