Security fencing erected around White House, Harris' residence, Capitol ahead of election

New security fencing was placed around the White House, Vice President Kamala Harris' residence and the U.S. Capitol on Sunday as authorities in Washington, D.C., prepare for potential unrest following Tuesday's presidential election.

The Secret Service erected eight-foot-high metal fences around the White House and Treasury Department complex, and the adjacent parts of Lafayette Square, as well as the Naval Observatory and Harris' D.C. residence, according to The Washington Post.

The Capitol brought back temporary bicycle-rack barriers posted with signs surrounding its perimeter that read: "Police Line: Do not cross."

Physical security measures will also be set up by the Secret Service outside the West Palm Beach, Florida, convention center where former President Trump will hold a watch party on election night.

Metropolitan Police in Washington, D.C., also announced street closures, no parking zones and transit detours starting at 7 p.m. Monday in the area around Harris' election night watch party at Howard University.

"The Secret Service is working closely with federal, state and local partners in Washington, DC and Palm Beach County, Florida to ensure heightened levels of Election Day safety and security," the Secret Service said in a statement to The Washington Post. "These enhancements are not in response to any specific issue but are part of wide ranging public safety preparations for Tuesday’s election."

This comes after officials have sought to reassure residents and businesses bracing for post-election protests following damage suffered in 2020 during Black Lives Matter and post-election demonstrations.

Wrapping up Sunday: Trump, Harris make final pitches, former president's election ad airs on NBC

Former President Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are making their final appeals to voters ahead of Election Day on Tuesday, primarily targeting swing states that will likely decide the winner.

On Sunday, Trump held rallies in Lititz, Pennsylvania; Kinston, North Carolina, and Macon, Georgia. His running mate, J.D. Vance, was in Raleigh, North Carolina; Aston, Pennsylvania, and Derry, New Hampshire.

Harris, meanwhile, campaigned in Michigan, where she attended church in Detroit and made stops in Livernois and Pontiac before holding a rally in East Lansing. Her running mate, Tim Walz, held events in Atlanta and Gwinnett County, Georgia, as well as Charlotte, North Carolina.

An election ad for Trump aired on NBC toward the end of the broadcast of NASCAR's Xfinity 500 at Martinsville Speedway and the NFL's coverage of the Minnesota Vikings vs Indianapolis Colts game on Sunday night.

Trump's appearance on NBC's airways appeared to be connected to Harris' surprise appearance on "Saturday Night Live" due to a Federal Communications Commission rule requiring networks to offer free airtime to both candidates.

NBC News filed an Equal Time notice with the FCC late Sunday following backlash over Harris' appearance on SNL. The network disclosed Harris' appearance after it was accused of violating the longstanding rule.

The notice came after commissioner Brendan Carr, the senior Republican on the FCC, criticized NBC's decision to host Harris in the final episode of SNL ahead of Election Day, while not offering equal time to Trump or other candidates.

"This has all the appearances of, at least some leadership at NBC, at SNL, making clear that they wanted to weigh-in in favor of one candidate before the election. That's exactly why, for decades, we've had an equal time rule on the book, is to prevent that. Because remember, broadcasters are placed in a special position of trust," Carr told Fox News Digital Sunday morning.

"They're not just like any other person with a soapbox on the corner. They have a license from the federal government that obligates them to operate in the public interest," Carr said.

On Election Eve, Harris and Trump hold dueling rallies in the biggest of the battlegrounds

Vice President Kamala Harris - making a last-minute pitch to her supporters in the biggest of the battlegrounds.

"We need you to vote, Pennsylvania.  We need you to vote," Harris emphasized as she spoke to a large crowd in the Keystone State's capital city - Harrisburg - last week. "No one can sit on the sidelines."

The vice president and Democratic presidential nominee returns to Pennsylvania on Monday - holding rallies in Allentown, Pittsburgh, and Philadelphia on Election Eve.

Her rival for the White House - Republican nominee former President Trump - held a rally in Pennsylvania on Sunday.

"A very, very special hello to Pennsylvania….What a great place. And I'm thrilled to be back in this beautiful Commonwealth with thousands of proud, hardworking American patriots," the former president told the crowd at his rally in Lititz.

On Monday, the final full day of campaigning ahead of Election Day, Trump returns to the state to hold rallies in Reading and Pittsburgh.

It's no surprise that both major party nominees are heavily concentrating their final campaign schedules in Pennsylvania.

With 19 electoral votes up for grabs, it's the biggest prize among the seven key battlegrounds whose razor-thin margins decided President Biden's 2020 election victory over Trump and are likely to determine if Trump or Harris succeeds Biden in the White House.

Mike Johnson to campaign in 2 competitive House races in Virginia on election eve

House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-LA., will campaign in two tight House races in Virginia on the eve of the election, as Republicans attempt to hold on to their slim majority in the lower chamber.

Johnson told the New York Post that the "road to keeping and growing our majority runs directly through Virginia, where we have two veterans who will win and deliver results for Commonwealth families."

The speaker will hold events for GOP Rep. Jen Kiggans and candidate Derrick Anderson, who is running for an open seat. Johnson will also bring along some special guests.

"Congresswoman Kiggans is a champion for veterans, our troops, and military families and works across the aisle to fight for Virginia’s 2nd District," Johnson told the New York Post. "Green Beret Derrick Anderson has served our country and will be a strong voice for Virginia’s 7th District to secure our border, fix our economy, and restore peace through strength."

"After campaigning in more than 250 cities across 40 states, I look forward to turning out the vote across Virginia on the eve of the most important election of our lifetimes," he added.

On Saturday, former President Trump said at his rally in Salem, Virginia, that he believes he can win the commonwealth.

"I'm here today in this incredible commonwealth for one very simple reason — because I believe we can win Virginia," he said.

A Republican presidential candidate has not won Virginia in two decades.

MA residents claim they’re being trolled with fake Harris postcards saying migrant family moving in

Residents in a Massachusetts community claim they're being trolled with fake Kamala Harris campaign postcards informing them that a migrant family would be moving in with them because of their support for Vice President Harris.

One of the residents of Shrewsbury told NBC10 Boston that she received the postcard after she put a sign in her yard supporting Harris and Tim Walz.

"It really creeped me out," the woman, who did not want to be identified, told NBC10.

The postcard, made to look like mail from the Harris-Walz campaign, thanked her for putting up a sign and showing her support, and alerting her that a family from Nicaragua would be moving into her home.

"That's when I realized it was an obvious attempt to try to either scare me or rage bait me and make me upset," the woman explained. "It's really sad that the country has come to this point where you can't put a lawn sign out and support a candidate without being harassed with something like this."

Another Shrewsbury resident claimed to have received a similar postcard in the mail, except hers said she'd have a family of five from Guatemala moving in.

"It makes me angry," the woman, who also did not want to be identified, told NBC10. "But if the takeaway is 'Don't put up a lawn sign in support of a political candidate,' I feel the exact opposite. Next time there's an election, I'll put up three signs in my yard."

A third resident in the Shrewsbury community posted her postcard on Reddit, which matched similar wording from the other residents.

"Thank you for supporting Kamala! We are so appreciative of you putting out a yard sign. But now we need your continued help," the postcard reads.

"We will be moving a family of 4 from the country of Belize into your home on 11-3-2024. They will need food, toiletries, and transportation. Thank you!" the card reads.

Elon Musk's mother says Europe and Asia love Trump: 'Just America that may have a problem'

Elon Musk's mother, Maye, wrote on X Sunday night that former President Donald Trump is loved in Europe and Asia, and "it's just America that may have a problem."

"I need to add, when I model or give talks in Europe and Asia, they love Trump. It’s just America that may have a problem. Although there seems to be many closet Republicans in fashion. Time will tell…" she wrote.

Maye's post comes after a live conversation labeled "Enough is Enough" on the Tesla Owners Silicon Valley X page where she talked mostly about politics and her son's success and influence. The broadcast was about 41 minutes long.

When the 76-year-old model and dietitian wrote her aforementioned opinion, she was sharing a clip from the live conversation where she said, “If I have to give up modeling for America, I want to save America rather than my modeling job."

Actor Will Ferrell 'threatens' voters in new Harris campaign ad: 'Shut the f--k up, Gary'

Actor and comedian Will Ferrell is throwing his star power behind Kamala Harris – it's just another in a long list of celebrity endorsements for the vice president.

In an official Harris campaign ad, Ferrell jokingly threatens voters if they don't vote for Harris.

"This election is going to be one of the closest in history. Your vote will make the difference," Ferrell begins.

He then mocks a voter disagreeing about their vote making a difference.

"That means you, Gary. 'Oh, blah blah blah, I'm just one person.' No. Shut the f--k up Gary," Ferrell says.

"Last time, only a few thousand votes kept Trump out of office. And this time, we will hold you personally responsible, Gary" Ferrell threatens.

North Carolina sees record early voting turnout despite Hurricane Helene devastation

More than 4.4 million North Carolinians participated in early voting this election season, surpassing the record-breaking numbers seen last election cycle, the state's Board of Elections announced Sunday.

The 2020 record of 3.63 million early voters was broken by this past Thursday, the board said, according to The Associated Press.

Including those who sent in absentee ballots, at least 4,465,548 North Carolinians participated in the early-voting period as of Sunday morning – which is 57% of the state's 7.8 million registered voters. Officials noted that turnout could be a bit higher because of a lag between when ballots are cast and when data is uploaded.

Early voter turnout in the 25 North Carolina counties impacted by Hurricane Helene was at 58.9% as of Sunday morning.

“I am proud of all of our 100 county boards of elections and the thousands of election workers who are making this happen in their communities,” state board Executive Director Karen Brinson Bell said in a statement. “And I am especially proud of the workers and voters of Western North Carolina. You are an inspiration to us all.”

The Associated Press contributed to this report.

New Jersey voters flocked to polls in record-breaking early vote numbers, with 1 million votes cast

Voters in New Jersey showed up to the polls in record-breaking numbers during the early voting period, which ended Sunday.

New Jersey Lieutenant Governor Tahesha Way said the surge in early voting was motivated by several key issues, according to Fox 29.

"The economy ... the border ... security," resident Bob Houck, of Pennsauken, told the outlet.

Way said more than 1 million people voted early in New Jersey.

Voters on both sides of the political aisle said they remain hopeful in this election but acknowledge that it will be a tight race.

"I just want to see what's best for the country moving forward, no matter what happens ... but there's a lot of uncertainty," resident Jules Cornelious, of Cherry Hill, told Fox 29.

Trump election ad airs during NBC's NASCAR, NFL coverage amid Harris 'SNL' uproar

An election ad for former President Trump aired on NBC toward the end of the broadcast of NASCAR’s Xfinity 500 at Martinsville Speedway and the NFL's coverage of the Minnesota Vikings-Indianapolis Colts game on Sunday night.

The ad started with "A special message from Donald J. Trump."

Trump was seen with his "Make America Great Again" hat as he told viewers that electing Vice President Kamala Harris would bring along another "depression." He also told viewers to go out and vote with only a handful of hours left before Election Day comes and goes.

"We're losing everything, including viability," Trump said in the ad. "We're going to end up in a depression based on what's been happening. We've never seen anything like it, at least in the last 40 years."

The appearance of the Republican presidential candidate appeared to be connected to Harris’ surprise appearance on "Saturday Night Live," according to multiple reports.

The uproar over her appearance and whether Trump would get free time on some NBC broadcast was the talk of Sunday.

NBC News filed an Equal Time notice with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) late Sunday following the backlash, disclosing Harris "SNL" appearance after the network was accused of violating the longstanding rule.

The notice came after commissioner Brendan Carr, the senior Republican on the FCC, lambasted NBC's decision to host Harris in the final episode of SNL ahead of Election Day, while not offering equal time to Trump or other candidates in the presidential cycle.

"This has all the appearances of, at least some leadership at NBC, at SNL, making clear that they wanted to weigh-in in favor of one candidate before the election. That's exactly why, for decades, we've had an equal time rule on the book, is to prevent that. Because remember, broadcasters are placed in a special position of trust," Carr told Fox News Digital in a Zoom interview Sunday morning.

"They're not just like any other person with a soapbox on the corner. They have a license from the federal government that obligates them to operate in the public interest," Carr said.

The NBC filing later Sunday confirms that the network "views the Harris SNL appearance as a free use of their facilities and airwaves within the meaning of the federal Equal Time rule," Carr told Fox News Digital later Sunday, highlighting the limited timeframe Trump and others have in this case to take the network up on its offer.

Bill Clinton defends George W. Bush's decision not to endorse presidential candidate

Former President Bill Clinton defended the decision by his successor, former President George W. Bush, to not issue an endorsement in Tuesday's presidential election.

"First of all, he’s spoken up, I think, more than he’s gotten credit for, and he takes every opportunity that I’ve seen to talk about how important immigration is and how we can’t survive without it," Clinton told CNN from his campaign bus.

Clinton said Bush likes Democrat Colin Allred, a Texas congressman representing where Bush lives who is challenging Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, for his Senate seat.

"Oh, yeah. He'll tell anybody that, that he's a good guy,” Clinton said of Bush's thoughts about Allred.

Bush congratulated Allred on his 2018 win in his House race, but the former president was not involved in the Senate race, according to CNN.

"He also knows, beginning with our relationship, it's very different when you’re out of political life, when there is no competition, no consequence," Clinton told the outlet. "And I think he believes that since he was a proud Republican all those years, it's enough for him to make clear what he believes with all this, without giving up the party he’s been with all his life."

Someone close to Bush was asked about Clinton's comments and told the outlet that Bush "has indeed moved on from presidential politics, but he has been working quietly and diligently to keep the Senate in GOP control."

This comes after former Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., said recently that she believes "it's time" for Bush to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris. Cheney and her father, former Vice President Dick Cheney who served under Bush. have endorsed Harris for president.

Bush's daughter, Barbara, has also endorsed Harris, but the former president and his wife, Laura, have said they have no plans to endorse any presidential candidate.

Trump wraps up third rally with focus on immigration just 2 days before Election Day

Former President Trump has wrapped up his third rally for the day after addressing a crowd of supporters in Macon, Georgia.

The final stop of the day came after back-to-back rallies in Lititz, Pennsylvania and Kinston, North Carolina.

Sticking more closely to script than the previous two rallies, Trump told supporters that on Tuesday they were going to “save our country” and that they were “on the verge of the four greatest years in American history.”

“You watch. It’s going to be so good. It’s going to be so much fun. It’ll be nasty a little bit at times, and maybe at the beginning, in particular," he said. “But it’s going to be something.”

Trump told the crowd that Tuesday will be “the most important day in the history of our country.”

“T ogether we will make America powerful again. We will make America wealthy again. We will make America healthy again. We will make America strong again. We will make America proud again. We will make America safe again. And we will make America great again,” Trump said.

Danica Patrick throws shade on Kamala Harris guest speakers: ‘I never went to a Diddy party’

Former NASCAR driver Danica Patrick threw shade on supporters of Vice President Kamala Harris Sunday, telling a crowd of Trump supporters that she wasn’t paid to be there and “never went to a Diddy party.”

Patrick spoke ahead of former President Trump during a rally in Lititz, Pennsylvania, just two days before the election.

“Now I’m speaking. I’m not paid to be here. I don’t have a teleprompter. I’m winging this right now, everybody. I don’t need a telephone. I never went to a Diddy party,” Patrick said. “I’m doing this because I love this country and there’s nobody that’s been tested more than Trump.”

The “telephone” reference was an ostensible dig at rapper Cardi B who suffered a teleprompter glitch while speaking at a rally for Harris in Wisconsin over the weekend. After working the crowd for two minutes, a woman brought Cardi B a cell phone on which she could read her speech.

The “Diddy party” reference was a nod to extravagant and decadent parties – dubbed “Freak Offs” – held by music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs. Combs is accused of leveraging his influence and power to lure victims into sex acts with commercial sex workers.

Over the years, high-profile Democrats – included Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and New York City Mayor Eric Adams – have collaborated with Combs for various causes. Combs, who has backed many Democrats, is facing charges of sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy, among other offenses.

No bulletproof glass seen at Georgia Trump rally despite being outdoors

Photos of former President Trump’s rally in Macon, Georgia Sunday evening show no bulletproof glass set up at the podium, despite the venue being an outdoor amphitheater.

The Republican candidate started using bulletproof glass at the podium after an assassination attempt on his life during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania on July 13.

Harris dodges question on California measure that would increase crime, drug penalties

Vice President Kamala Harris was tight-lipped when asked Sunday to comment on a California measure that reverse many of the Golden State’s soft-on-crime policies.

Proposition 36, or The Homeless, Drug Addiction, and Theft Reduction Act, aims to address crime, drug use, and homelessness that has skyrocketed since California voters passed Prop 47.

Harris, a former San Francisco district attorney, California attorney general, and U.S. senator, said she would not “talk about the vote on that because, honestly, it’s the Sunday before the election and I don’t intend to create an endorsement one way or the other.”

The initiative, if passed, would make the crime of shoplifting a felony for repeat offenders and increase penalties for some drug charges, including those involving the synthetic opioid fentanyl. It also would give judges the authority to order people with multiple drug charges to get treatment.

Biden judge rules Iowa can check ballots of potential noncitizens in blow to ACLU

A federal judge ruled Sunday that Iowa can challenge the validity of hundreds of ballots from potential noncitizens despite critics arguing that it will threaten the voting rights of recently naturalized citizens.

U.S. District Judge Stephen Locher, an appointee of President Biden , sided with the state in a lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union in the Iowa capital of Des Moines on behalf of the League of Latin American Citizens of Iowa and four recently naturalized citizens. The four were on the state's list of questionable registrations to be challenged by local elections officials.

The state's attorney general and secretary of state argued that investigating and potentially removing 2,000 names would prevent illegal voting by noncitizens. GOP officials across the U.S. have made possible voting by noncitizen immigrants a key election-year talking point.

In his ruling Sunday, Locher referenced a U.S. Supreme Court decision four days prior that allowed Virginia to resume a similar purge of its voter registration rolls.

Locher said the state's effort does not remove anyone from the voter rolls, but rather requires some voters to use provisional ballots.

Nikki Haley pens pro-Trump op-ed ahead of Election Day: ‘Easy call’

Nikki Haley, who ran against former President Trump in the Republican primary, penned an op-ed in support of her former opponent, just two days before Election Day.

The former South Carolina governor’s piece, titled "Trump Isn’t Perfect, but He’s the Better Choice," ran in the Wall Street Journal on Sunday.

Haley challenged Trump in the 2024 Republican primary before dropping out in early March. In the op-ed, she argued that the "millions" of Americans who have mixed views of Trump should vote for him.

"I don’t agree with Mr. Trump 100% of the time," Haley conceded. "But I do agree with him most of the time, and I disagree with Ms. Harris nearly all the time. That makes this an easy call."

Haley served as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations under Trump's tenure from 2017 to 2018. She has been known to both praise and criticize the Trump campaign openly, and argued that the "Biden-Harris agenda" has made the world "far more dangerous."

"Our southern border is our most pressing security threat; Mr. Biden and Ms. Harris have made it dramatically worse," the Republican wrote. "Their debacle in Afghanistan not only created a new terrorist state; it also signaled weakness that sparked Russia’s war against Ukraine."

Harris-Walz campaign reacts to Trump’s ‘shoot through the fake news’ comments: ‘Angry and unhinged’

The Harris-Walz campaign on Sunday issued a statement in response to former President Trump remarking during a rally that someone would have to “shoot through the fake news” to get to him.

“As Vice President Harris spent today at church in Detroit, talking to voters about her vision to lift up all Americans, Donald Trump was busy violating the Ninth Commandment,” Harris-Walz Director of Rapid Response Ammar Moussa said in a statement. “Trump is spending the closing days of his campaign angry and unhinged, lying about the election being stolen because he’s worried he will lose. The American people deserve a leader who tells the truth and will walk into the Oval Office focused on them – that’s Vice President Harris.”

Trump made the remarks during a Sunday rally in Lititz, Pennsylvania. It came in the context of Trump discussing both assassination attempts on his life.

“I have this piece of glass here,” Trump said. “But all we have really over here is the fake news, right? And to get me, somebody would have to shoot through the fake news. “And I don’t mind that so much. I don’t mind. I don’t mind.”

Trump’s campaign later clarified his remarks, saying he had been referring to the “threats against him that were spurred on by dangerous rhetoric from Democrats.”

“In fact, President Trump was stating that the Media was in danger, in that they were protecting him and, therefore, were in great danger themselves, and should have had a glass protective shield, also,” Steven Cheung, Trump Campaign Communications Director, said in a statement. “There can be no other interpretation of what was said. He was actually looking out for their welfare, far more than his own!"

Fetterman, in CNN interview, concedes Trump has 'connection’ with PA voters before mocking 45

Pennsylvania Democratic Sen. John Fetterman said on CNN that former President Donald Trump has a "connection" with Keystone State voters, before launching expletives aimed at Trump and mocking the former president's campaign in Pennsylvania.

"I've been saying this, whether it was Biden or then became Harris, I said it's going to be very close. And Trump definitely has a connection with voters here in Pennsylvania, and that's why it's going to be close," Fetterman said Sunday morning on CNN's "State of the Union."

Fetterman joined host Dana Bash, who pressed the senator about Trump recently highlighting voter fraud concerns in the battleground state, which Fetterman brushed off with expletives.

"It’s the same, sad story that he had in ’20, and I would like to remind everybody that Biden wrecked his sh-t by 80,000 votes," the Pennsylvania senator continued. "… He's gonna try to lie and claim these baseless things. But we’re gonna have a new team leading America and that’s going to be Harris—but it is going to be close."

Trump campaign, Georgia Republicans file federal suit in ballot controversy

The Trump campaign and Georgia Republicans have filed a federal lawsuit in Georgia to halt the counting of ballots that were handed in after early voting ended Friday.

The lawsuit names the following counties: Cobb, DeKalb, Gwinnett, Fulton, Chatham, Athens-Clarks and Clayton, which is just south of Atlanta.

The Trump campaign said early voting in Georgia was “required to end statewide on Friday, November 1.”

 “At the last minute several heavily Democrat counties announced they would open their offices over the weekend to receive mail ballots. This is illegal, so we immediately filed a state court lawsuit. In a win for election integrity, the counties retreated from plans to keep drop boxes open over the weekend, but we continue to fight the illegal re-opening of the centers in state and federal court,” the campaign said in a statement. “This is a clear, partisan violation of the law intended to boost Democrat efforts in Georgia. With just two days until our country's most important election, it is critical for officials to follow the law and run the election in a fair and transparent manner.”

The campaign said such actions “undermine the security of our elections and drive up mistrust in the process.”

“At minimum, we want to sequester the ballots that were submitted without proper oversight of our election observers,” Georgia GOP Chairman Josh McKoon said in a statement. “Additionally, we have requested Georgia’s Secretary of State and Attorney General get involved to resolve this matter and find answers to the burning questions we all have.”

He added: “We will keep the public informed all along the way. However, this doesn’t change our overall mission. We MUST keep our foot on the gas and turn out voters on Tuesday like our lives depend on it. Because it does.”

FCC commissioner rips NBC over Harris' last-minute SNL appearance: 'Designed to evade' the rules

The senior Republican on the Federal Communications Commission lambasted NBC's decision to host Vice President Kamala Harris on "Saturday Night Live" in the final episode ahead of Election Day, while not offering equal time to former President Trump or other candidates in the presidential cycle.

"This has all the appearances of, at least some leadership at NBC, at SNL, making clear that they wanted to weigh-in in favor of one candidate before the election. That's exactly why, for decades, we've had an equal time rule on the book, to prevent that. Because remember, broadcasters are placed in a special position of trust. They're not just like any other person with a soapbox on the corner. They have a license from the federal government that obligates them to operate in the public interest," FCC commissioner Brendan Carr told Fox News Digital in a Zoom interview Sunday morning.

Carr was reacting to Harris's last-minute appearance on NBC's "Saturday Night Live" just days ahead of Election Day. The FCC commissioner had weighed in on X this weekend that the broadcasting company had violated the FCC's equal time rule by hosting the Democratic presidential nominee, but not Trump or other presidential candidates such as Jill Stein or even Robert F. Kennedy Jr. – who is still on election ballots after dropping out of the race earlier this year and endorsing Trump.

Trump campaign clarifies candidate’s statement about shooting through ‘fake news’

Former President Trump’s campaign team is clarifying remarks the Republican candidate made during a rally in Pennsylvania, in which he joked about someone shooting through the reporters surrounding him.

Trump, who has survived two assassination attempts on the campaign trail, was complaining about the bulletproof glass surrounding him onstage.

“I have this piece of glass here,” Trump said. “But all we have really over here is the fake news, right? And to get me, somebody would have to shoot through the fake news. “And I don’t mind that so much. I don’t mind. I don’t mind,” eliciting laughter from the crowd.

Steven Cheung, Trump Campaign Communications Director, said the former president was “brilliantly talking about the two assassination attempts on his own life, including one that came within 1/4 of an inch from killing him, something that the Media constantly talks and jokes about.”

“The President’s statement about protective glass placement has nothing to do with the Media being harmed, or anything else. It was about threats against him that were spurred on by dangerous rhetoric from Democrats,” Cheung said. “In fact, President Trump was stating that the Media was in danger, in that they were protecting him and, therefore, were in great danger themselves, and should have had a glass protective shield, also. There can be no other interpretation of what was said. He was actually looking out for their welfare, far more than his own!"

Cruz: Harris caved to 'pro-Hamas' wing of her party in tapping Walz instead of PA’s Shapiro for VP

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, took aim at Vice President Kamala Harris for her lack of support for Israel, arguing that the decision not to tap Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro as her running mate was a result of the vice president caving to the "pro-Hamas" wing of the Democratic Party.

"You oughta ask yourself why didn’t she pick Josh Shapiro as her VP?" Cruz said during an appearance on Fox News’ "Sunday Morning Futures" with Maria Bartiromo on Sunday. "The answer is, in today’s Democrat Party, they could not stomach a candidate who was Jewish."

Cruz’s comments come just two days before polls open on Election Day, with both Harris and former President Trump making their final pitches in the seven key battleground states that promise to decide the race.

Two battlegrounds in particular, Michigan and Pennsylvania, show the struggle Harris has had cobbling together a winning coalition, Cruz argued, noting that the vice president has tried to appease Jewish voters in Pennsylvania despite the administration she serves in being the "most anti-Israel" one in American history.

"Kamala Harris is lying to people in Pennsylvania, and we know that because she’s not just some random person off the street, she’s been the sitting vice president for four years," Cruz said. "Kamala Harris and Joe Biden have been the single most anti-Israel administration this country has ever seen."

The Real Clear Politics polling average shows an extremely tight race in Pennsylvania in the final days of the election, with Trump currently holding a slim 0.3 point lead in the critical battleground state.

Stefanik slams Democrats' 'scare tactics' on Trump's record with women on IVF, abortion

House Republican Conference Chairwoman Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., slammed Democrats' "scare tactics" regarding former President Trump's stance on women in terms of abortion and IVF access on Sunday.

At a recent campaign stop in Wisconsin, Vice President Harris claimed that Trump would "ban abortion nationwide," "restrict access to birth control, put IVF treatments at risk and force states to – get this – monitor women’s pregnancies." Democrats have run ads across the country on the issue. 

Trump has repeatedly stated he would not sign a national abortion ban, and Stefanik, in an appearance on "Fox News Sunday," reiterated how Trump "believes this issue should be decided at the states" and supports three exceptions for abortions in circumstances of rape, incest and to save the life of the mother. 

"When it comes to IVF, that is a false smear," Stefanik told "Fox News Sunday" host Shannon Bream. "President Trump wants to expand access to IVF, make birth control available, and the reason why Democrats are only talking about this issue is these are scare tactics because they are losing on every other issue. Whether it’s the economy, the border, safety and security around the world, we’re going to run and win, and I think that women when they look at the key top issues, they are increasingly looking at their lives were much better under President Trump versus the crises that we’ve seen under Kamala Harris today." 

Stefanik also slammed Harris for failing to condemn Mark Cuban's recent remarks about female Trump supporters. Cuban faced backlash for suggesting on "The View" last Thursday that Trump neglects to surround himself with "strong, intelligent women," claiming that they intimidate and challenge him. 

Stefanik pointed to how she, Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders and Republican National Committee co-chair Lara Trump have been traveling across the country as surrogates of the Trump campaign. Stefanik also noted that under Trump's administration, the U.S. had "the highest number of women ever in the workforce, the largest wage and salary increase for working women ever," and "child care was affordable."

Bill Maher addresses undecided voters before election: 'Christmas Eve shoppers of politics'

"Real Time" host and comedian Bill Maher  spoke directly to undecided voters on his show Friday in an attempt to convince them to support Vice President Kamala Harris. 

"I'm sticking with my other prediction that Harris is going to [win], but I can’t say I’m not nervous that the election is in the hands of a small cohort of undecided voters," Maher said. "Those curious few bisexuals of the political world who everybody loves to mock."

"I call them the ‘Christmas Eve shoppers of politics,’" Maher added, saying that undecided voters "know the big day is coming, but they just can’t get themselves to do anything about it until the last minute."

"Hi, Christmas Eve voter," Maher said. "Look, you obviously don’t like Trump or you’d be in that camp already, but you’re still torn. And I’m the guy who keeps saying I get why. You wanted more reassurance that the Democrat isn’t going to go along with every aggressively anti-common sense idea that comes out of the woke mind virus, which yes, is a thing. And if [Harris] loses, that would be mainly why."

Maher diagnosed the "woke mind virus" as being related to "'progressophobia,' Steven Pinker’s term for the liberal fear of ever admitting when things are actually good." 

"As The Economist puts it about America today, ‘an economy with an unemployment rate of 4 percent and a per-person GDP of $85,000 does not have to be made great again; it is great,'" Maher continued.

Kamala Harris blasted for 'scripted' SNL appearance days before election

Vice President Kamala Harris was criticized on Sunday for flying to New York City to do a skit on "Saturday Night Live" (SNL), after she ended up not doing a sitdown with podcast host Joe Rogan.

Harris appeared as the mirror image of Maya Rudolph, who regularly plays the vice president on SNL, in a last-minute appearance, just days before the election.

Rogan revealed recently that the Harris campaign reached out to Rogan about sitting down with the podcast host, demanded that Rogan travel to her for it and said their interview could only be an hour long. Trump's interview with Rogan lasted three hours. 

Critics, including Sen. Ted Cruz, hit the vice president for how she run her campaign and for declining to sit down with Rogan while being willing to fly to NYC to do SNL.

Brendan Carr, the senior Republican on the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), argued on social media that SNL evaded the FCC's "equal time" rule. Trump campaign senior advisor Jason Miller told the Fox News Channel's Jacqui Heinrich that SNL did not extend an invitation to Trump. She added that executive producer Lorne Michaels said just last month that he didn't have plans to invite either candidate.

Millions of voters have already cast ballots for Nov. 5 election

Early in-person and mail-in ballots have begun pouring in across the country, and the tally in each state reveals mounting voter enthusiasm.

Recent polling suggests a razor-thin margin in the race between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, and the results are expected to come down to each candidate's performance in seven swing states: Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona, Michigan, Wisconsin, Nevada and North Carolina.

States have long allowed at least some Americans to vote early, like members of the military and people with illnesses unable to get to the polls. Many states expanded eligibility in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic.

In the last presidential election, mail ballots tended to skew Democratic. In 2020, 60% of Democrats reported voting by mail, compared to 32% of Republicans, according to a 2021 study from the MIT Election Data and Science Lab.

As of Sunday morning, over 74 million ballots have been cast nationwide.

Here is a breakdown of where early ballots have been cast, either by mail or in person, in the seven battleground states, according to The Associated Press. Some states, like Arizona, Nevada, North Carolina and Pennsylvania also provide a party breakdown of the early votes that have been cast.

Mark Cuban's comments take heat from viral Trump backer: 'Who in the world thinks I'm weak and dumb?

Another prominent voice from inside former President Trump's circle took exception to billionaire businessman Mark Cuban's insulting remark about women linked to Trump, joining the ranks of figures like Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, former NASCAR driver Danica Patrick and evangelist Dr. Alveda King, who are similarly outraged.

"I immediately thought of myself because who in the world thinks I'm weak and/or dumb because I'm around Trump all the time?" Michaelah Montgomery, a Georgia-based conservative activist, said Saturday on "One Nation with Brian Kilmeade."

"And then all the other women that also share a space with me around President Trump – our Black Engagement Director Gina Barr, our Black Media Director Janiyah Thomas. One of his good friends for the past six years, Lynne Patton… there's plenty of amazing women that I've met personally in my six months since being on the campaign."

"I just cannot believe that somebody would get on the Internet, on national television, and say these things when clearly they haven't met half of us here," she continued.

Cuban caught flak for suggesting on "The View" last Thursday that former President Trump neglects to surround himself with "strong, intelligent women" because they allegedly intimidate and challenge him. 

He turned to social media to clear up his comment last Thursday, posting the following on X:

"I know many strong, intelligent women voting for Trump, including in my extended family. I’m certainly not saying female voters are not smart, strong and intelligent."

He added, "I know he has worked with strong, intelligent women, like Elaine Chao, Kelly Anne, Ivanka and many others. I stand by my opinion that he does not like being challenged publicly."

RFK Jr. says Trump White House will get fluoride out of water

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said Saturday that a potential Trump White House would advise communities to remove fluoride from drinking water, which would overturn decades of public health guidance.

Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral in water that oral physicians say can help to prevent cavities at the right doses. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention describes community water fluoridation – the practice of adding fluoride to drinking water to increase its concentration to optimal levels – as a "cornerstone strategy" to prevent cavities and one of the "10 great public health interventions of the 20th century."

However, health agencies warn long-term ingestion of fluoride in excess doses carries various health risks, and critics like Kennedy have campaigned to end community water fluoridation. The Environmental Protection Agency has established a maximum allowable concentration of fluoride in public drinking water to prevent adverse health effects. 

Kennedy declared the Trump White House would advise bringing that allowable concentration to zero on its first day in power.

"On January 20, the Trump White House will advise all U.S. water systems to remove fluoride from public water," Kennedy posted on X. "Fluoride is an industrial waste associated with arthritis, bone fractures, bone cancer, IQ loss, neurodevelopmental disorders, and thyroid disease," he claimed, adding that former President Trump and first lady Melania Trump "want to Make America Healthy Again."

His statement provoked a wave of criticism on social media and renewed expert concerns about Kennedy – who has often clashed with the scientific consensus on vaccine safety – being placed in a position of authority over public health. 

"While President Trump has received a variety of policy ideas, he is focused on Tuesday’s election," Trump campaign senior adviser Danielle Alvarez said in response to media questions about Kennedy's statement. 

Currently, more than 200 million Americans, or about 75% of the population, drink fluoridated water.

Trump, Harris are neck and neck in battleground states with under 48 hours until Election Day: polls

A new series of polls released Sunday show former President Trump and Vice President Harris are neck and neck in seven battleground states with less than 48 hours to go until Election Day. 

The New York Times/Siena College polls of likely voters show Trump and Harris are tied in Pennsylvania and Michigan.

The polls have a margin of error of 3.5%.  

The newspaper also reported that 11% of voters still remain undecided or persuadable, down from 16% a month ago. 

The newspaper also reported that 11% of voters still remain undecided or persuadable, down from 16% a month ago. 

Across all the battleground states, 24% of the likely voters said the economy – which includes jobs and the stock market – is their top issue, followed by abortion with 18% and immigration with 15%.

Caitlyn Jenner casts ballot for Donald Trump, says CA has 'more Trump supporters than you'd imagine'

Caitlyn Jenner cast a ballot for former President Trump in California on Sunday, the celebrity announced on social media.

Jenner urged Americans to vote "no matter how blue you think your state is."

"I voted. Even in ‘blue’ California. CA has far more Trump supporters than you’d imagine!" Jenner wrote.

"No matter how blue you think your state is - VOTE!" the T.V. star added.

Jenners' post on X, formerly Twitter, comes days after the Fox News contributor appeared on the channel to urge support for Trump, arguing the GOP nominee and Vice President Kamala Harris are on opposite sides of the issue of protecting biological girls in sports.

Trump's potential Treasury pick gives sneak peek into Musk collaboration

Billionaire hedge fund manager John Paulson has ambitious plans to reshape federal spending if tapped to be Trump's Treasury secretary – and he's vowing to collaborate with Elon Musk to make it happen.

The Trump ally shared how the ambitious spending cuts the duo have floated might look under a potential second Trump administration.

"The government is now subsidizing, to the tune of $1 trillion, the Green New [energy] Deal. That's subsidies for electric vehicles, subsidies for solar panels, subsidies for wind," he told "Fox & Friends" on Thursday.

"My question is, why should the average, hardworking Americans pay taxes, give it to the government and the government give it to a car buyer in California or a homeowner in California to subsidize their purchase of an electric vehicle? That's not fair to the people that aren't driving electric vehicles. I'm all for electric vehicles, but I don't think the government should take your tax dollars to subsidize that, so by eliminating those subsidies, that eliminates a trillion in spending right there. It also brings down costs," he added.

Paulson went a step further, slashing another hypothetical $150 billion in spending by cutting out money allocated for illegal immigrants.

"The federal government was estimated to have paid $150 billion for legal immigrants last year, all sorts of subsidized programs, so one way to reduce spending, and Trump has made a commitment, [is] no federal benefits for illegal immigrants. There's another $150 [billion] that could come out of the budget, preserve the tax dollars to support Americans, but not for illegal immigrants," he said.

During Trump's massive rally at Madison Square Garden in New York City last weekend, Musk predicted $2 trillion in federal government spending could be slashed from the $6.5 trillion federal budget.

Pennsylvania 'Hamas operative' charged with Jewish vandalism, buying explosives donated to Squad Dem

A self-described "Hamas operative" accused of vandalizing Jewish buildings in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and purchasing explosive materials, reportedly had donated to "Squad" Democrats critical of Israel. 

A criminal complaint unsealed in the Western District of Pennsylvania charges Mohamad Hamad and Talya Lubit with one count each of defacing and damaging religious real property and one count of conspiracy. 

Hamad is a dual citizen of the United States and Lebanon who resides in Coraopolis, Pennsylvania.

Hamad was a member of the Pennsylvania Air National Guard, assigned to the 171st Maintenance Squadron stationed in Moon Township, Pa., near the Pittsburgh International Airport, until Sept. 13, 2024, "when he was barred from the facility," court documents say. He also drove a BMW with Ohio plates. 

Lubit is a U.S. citizen who resides in the Oakland neighborhood of Pittsburgh.

On July 29, Chabad of Squirrel Hill, a synagogue and center for Jewish educational programming, reported to the Pittsburgh Bureau of Police that the message "Jews 4 Palestine" with an inverted triangle – a pro-Hamas symbol initially used to mark an Israeli target during fighting in Gaza – had been sprayed in red paint on the exterior of the building. That same day, the Jewish Federation, a non-profit organization, also reported to police that an exterior entrance sign to its property was spray-painted in red to add the words, "Funds Genocide Jews, Hate Zionists" and a red heart. 

A joint investigation by the FBI and Pittsburgh police found Hamad had purchased red spray paint from Walmart a day before the vandalism was reported at both Jewish buildings. His vehicle was also spotted on surveillance video near the crime scenes. Lubit is accused of being Hamad's accomplice in the vandalism.

Rogan grills Fetterman about amnesty in border bill, Dems using migration to turn states 'blue'

Podcaster Joe Rogan pressed Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman on Saturday over how the Democratic Party has weaponized immigration politics in recent years.

Rogan spoke to Fetterman about a wide variety of political topics ranging from how Donald Trump won in 2016 to how immigration stands as a key issue in the election today. Many Democrats often cite a bipartisan border bill that was struck down in late May, arguing Republicans don't want to solve the issue, while many Republicans respond that the bill made too many compromises on immigration that ultimately made it a non-starter.

Fetterman paraphrased a politician from decades ago who suggested that both Republicans and Democrats don't actually want to solve the ongoing immigration crisis, arguing he was vindicated by how Republicans in 2024 "had an opportunity to do a comprehensive border-bipartisan-and that went down because Trump, he declared that that's a bad deal after it was negotiated with the other side."

The podcast host, however, recalled that the deal made many concessions that Republicans concerned about the border found to be unacceptable.

"But didn't that deal also involve amnesty?" Rogan asked.

"It did, yeah," Fetterman said. 

"And didn't that deal also involve a significant number of illegal aliens being allowed into the country every year, I think it was 2 million people?" Rogan asked.

"It, uh, well, yeah," Fetterman replied.

Rogan continued, noting that ultimately, "it was still the same sort of situation and their fear is exactly what I talked about. That these people will be moved to swing states and that that will be used to essentially rig those states and turn them blue forever."

SNL may have broken key airtime regulation with Kamala Harris appearance, FCC commissioner says

NBC's "Saturday Night Live" may have broken federal regulations governing airtime with the appearance of Vice President Kamala Harris this weekend, an FCC official said.

FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr says the appearance may have violated the equal time rule, a requirement that public broadcast organizations offer comparable time and placement to qualifying candidates during a major election.

Carr said Harris' appearance on SNL may have broken the rule if NBC did not also send an invitation to former President Trump.

"This is a clear and blatant effort to evade the FCC's Equal Time rule," Carr wrote of Harris' appearance. "The purpose of the rule is to avoid exactly this type of biased and partisan conduct - a licensed broadcaster using the public airwaves to exert its influence for one candidate on the eve of an election. Unless the broadcaster offered Equal Time to other qualifying campaigns.”

Trump campaign Senior Advisor Jason Miller told Fox News Digital that Trump did not receive an invite. An NBC News report also stated that a spokesperson for SNL "did not return a request for comment on whether it invited Trump to appear.”

Arab Michigan voter says there’s a ‘seismic shift’ among Muslim voters to Trump

Arab American Albert Abbas, a Michigan voter, said that fellow members of his community in the state are "flowing" to former President Donald Trump because they believe he can bring peace to the world. He expects a "seismic shift" towards the Republican candidate. 

Abbas spoke with "Fox & Friends: Weekend" on Saturday about the former president’s appeal to Arab voters in the crucial swing state, where Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are neck-and-neck in polling just three days before the election.

"Arab Americans are flowing in the direction of the Trump campaign because of his, you know, words of tolerance, and love, and ending wars," Abbas said. 

Trump greeted Abbas and a crowd of Arab Americans at a campaign stop in Dearborn, Michigan, on Friday. 

"It is time to prioritize our nation’s best interests and foster lasting peace for all," Abbas said while standing next to Trump at the event. "This current administration has failed miserably in all aspects of humanity."

Trump’s trip to Dearborn marked the first time this cycle that one of candidates has visited the city’s massive Arab community. Trump’s attempt to court these voters comes as the relationship between the Arab community and Democratic Party remains strained over the Biden-Harris administration’s support for Israel’s war in Gaza.

Vote counting, legal challenges and concessions: What to expect on election night

"Fox & Friends" co-hosts Brian Kilmeade and Lawrence Jones broke down the vote-counting process, legal challenges and other pivotal aspects that could shape the outcome of the 2024 election on Sunday.

The pair reviewed how long it has taken to declare a victor in recent presidential elections going back to 2000. The presidential elections in 2016, 2012, 2008 and 2004 were all declared either on Election Night or the following morning.

Meanwhile, the 2000 election wasn't decided until the Supreme Court intervened on December 12. The 2020 election also wasn't decided until four days after Election Day.

Kilmeade then went on to explain why there "might be a little bit of a delay" in getting the results for the 2024 election. The delay largely arises from the increased number of mail-in ballots as opposed to in-person votes on Election Day.

Many states have laws mandating that mail-in ballots cannot begin getting counted until Election Day. Others have laws saying they cannot be counted until after polls close on Election Day, further delaying the process.

Walz calls Trump a 'dictator' who wants to 'overturn the Constitution'

Minnesota governor and vice presidential candidate Tim Walz called former President Trump a "dictator" who wants to "overturn the Constitution" during his final pitch to voters in the battleground state of Arizona. 

Speaking in Tucson, Walz said, "Momentum is on our side, but we take nothing for granted" and "We know in Arizona a vote or two per precinct could be what it takes to win the whole damn race for the country." 

"Someday you're going to be sitting on that porch. You're going to be in that rocking chair, and a little one is going to come up to you after being in school where they've been studying the 2024 election, and they're going to ask when everything was on the line and the American experiment was on the line, and there was somebody running who asked to be a dictator and to overturn the Constitution and talk about using the military against our own people. What did you do to stop that from happening?" Walz told the crowd on Saturday. 

"And you're going to be able to say every damn thing we could, every damn thing we could," he said. 

Walz closed his speech by saying: "Make a plan to vote. Make a plan to get out and canvass. Make a plan to take a neighbor to the polls." 

Arizona is a state that leans Republican in the presidential race, according to the final Fox News Power Rankings forecast before the election.

Afghans for Trump group push to make foreign policy, 2021 withdrawal front and center in election

Three years have passed since the Taliban's swift takeover upended Afghanistan.

Women have largely taken up home confinement, and men live in fear of being suspected of aiding the resistance, a charge that could result in death. In the chaos, as the U.S. hastily withdrew, countless Afghan allies were abandoned to an uncertain fate.

While the wall-to-wall press coverage of what’s been called President Biden’s "Saigon moment" has largely quieted down, the Afghan diaspora living in the U.S. has not forgotten relatives in the homeland. 

Zoubair Sangi helped found a movement for the Afghan diaspora to unite and bring a sense of betrayal by the Biden administration to the ballot box with the new advocacy group Afghans for Trump.

"If you were to ask [Afghans in Afghanistan], would you want a continuation of the last three years, which has been the failed policy of the Biden-Harris administration? They would say no because their lives are miserable right now," Sangi told Fox News Digital.

"It's been three years where women can't go to school. Terrorism has been on the rise. We have the attacking of ethnic and religious minorities."

Sangi’s parents came to the U.S. in the 1980s as the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan. 

Much of his family still lives in the nation. 

"What they say is that it feels like they're living in a prison," Sangi said. 

"Anyone who’s suspected of resistance, just being kidnapped, jailed, tortured, killed. For the last three years, this has been going on. But zero coverage. So, you know, those who are living here, they feel like they've lost everything."

Sangi says Afghans for Trump is reaching out to the diaspora, those who are Afghan by background but U.S. citizens, and has been in touch with recent refugees who left after the withdrawal, most of whom are not citizens and can’t vote in the election.

Abortion supporters at Women's March in Boston turn out in droves to support Harris presidency

Hundreds turned out to participate in the Woman's March in Massachusetts ahead of Election Day, in a strong show of support for Vice President Kamala Harris and abortion access.

People marched on Boston Common, holding signs that read, "We won't go back" and "Abortion is health care." Some men joined with them.

The woman's march happened in Boston, as well as in Washington, D.C., and in Kansas City, Missouri.

Speakers urged people to vote in the election — highlighting that abortion is on the ballot in nine states.

"How many of you are going to vote on Tuesday? How many of you can’t wait to wake up to a woman president?" Rev. Dr. Deborah Haffner, of First Unitarian Universalist Society in Newton, Massachusetts, asked.

Tracy Murphy told NBC 10 Boston that she organized the women's march because she wanted to give it her all no matter who wins.

"Today’s message is that we want everybody to vote," Murphy said.

NY Gov. Kathy Hochul condemns GOP voters as 'anti-woman' and 'anti-American'

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul condemned people who plan to vote Republican on Election Day as "anti-woman" and "anti-Republican" in her final pitch to voters.

Hochul made the comments during a Saturday appearance on MSNBC, telling hosts that voting for any Republican candidate across the state would tie that voter to former President Trump.

Hochul said she wanted to "remind everybody that if you're voting for these Republicans in New York, you are voting for someone who supports Donald Trump, and you're anti-woman, you're anti-abortion, and basically, you're anti-American," Hochul said. "You have just trashed American values and what our country is all about."

"You will wear this on Election Day," Hochul added.

Hochul's comments are the latest in a train of Democrats shaming Republicans for voting for Trump. Biden made the most notable contribution last week when he panned Trump's supporters as "garbage," though he later tried to clarify the statement.

Trump wraps up Saturday with rally in North Carolina: Election Day 'will be Liberation Day'

Former President Trump campaigned in North Carolina and Virginia on Saturday, with just three days until the election.

Trump made stops in Gastonia, North Carolina, and Salem, Virginia, before returning to North Carolina for a rally in Greensboro.

"We've been making the rounds today. We've done a number of these. I don't know how many people could do that. But you love it ... it is like a love, It's a crazy love we have for each other, it's crazy. But I'm thrilled to be back in this great, beautiful place," he said at his Greensboro rally.

Trump claimed at the rally that he will not lose North Carolina or Michigan.

"This is a very important state, and we have to get this up," he said. "We have to get you out. We're winning by a lot. But, you know, you can lose by a little. You know, when you're winning by a lot, you can still lose by a little. And we can't take a chance of losing the great state of North Carolina. We're not going to lose the great state of Michigan."

The former president also purported that the U.S. is an "occupied country."

"The United States is now an occupied country ... but it will soon be an occupied country no longer. On November 5th, 2024, it will be Liberation Day in America," he said.
