Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are making their final push in battleground states with less than a week to Election Day.
Trump was in Wisconsin on Wednesday, where he again slammed Joe Biden over the president’s “garbage” comment. “On a call for her campaign last night, crooked Joe Biden finally said what he and Kamala [Harris] really think of our supporters. He called them garbage,” he said at a rally in Green Bay.
Harris said Wednesday that she “strongly” disagrees with “any criticism of people based on who they vote for.”
Here’s what else to know:
Exclusive: Larry Hogan, Maryland GOP Senate candidate, touted an endorsement from Trump in a private donor call and suggested it helps him with the former president’s “hard core” supporters — after repeatedly stating that he did not want Trump’s endorsement.
Endorsement loss for Trump: Latin superstar Nicky Jam announced to his 43.5 million followers on Instagram that he has withdrawn his Trump endorsement because of the comments made by a comedian at the former president’s Madison Square Garden rally about Puerto Rico. This comes one month after the reggaeton artist appeared onstage with Trump donning a MAGA hat.
Trump’s opinion on non-endorsements: Trump said the decision by The Washington Post, Los Angeles Times and USA Today to not endorse a presidential candidate this election means they think that Harris is “no good.”
Harris in Pennsylvania: In Harrisburg, Harris said there is “nothing that will stand in my way of working for you” if she’s elected president next week. She was interrupted by protesters shouting something unintelligible. The crowd chanted “Kamala!” over the protesters. “Look, everybody has a right to be heard, but right now, I am speaking,” she said.
Harris in Wisconsin: In an appeal to young voters, Harris told a crowd at a university in Madison that she understood they were impatient for change. Both campaigns look to win over young voters, a demographic that could be decisive in battleground states like Wisconsin.
New polling: Harris maintains a narrow advantage in two of the three “blue wall” states — Wisconsin and Michigan — that collectively represent her clearest path to an Electoral College victory, according to new CNN polls conducted by SSRS. But the race is tied in Pennsylvania, the largest electoral prize of the three states.
Voting across America:
In Pennsylvania:
- A Pennsylvania judge granted a request from the Trump campaign and ordered Bucks County election officials to offer on-demand mail voting through Friday, extending the deadline by three days.
- Voting rights groups and state Democrats urged the US Supreme Court to let Pennsylvanians cast provisional votes if their mail ballots are rejected, pushing back on an emergency appeal from Republicans who want to stop that process in the key swing state.
In Oregon: Investigators in Oregon searching for the person responsible for three fires at ballot drop boxes in the past few weeks believe “it is very possible the suspect intends to continue the attacks,” police said.
In Michigan: Confusion over voting tallies was sparked because of a formatting error that has been corrected, with no extra votes counted, according to the Michigan secretary of state’s office.
