Trump, powerhouse guests rock packed MSG with historic rally
Former President Donald Trump took the stage at his historic Madison Square Garden rally, where thousands of supporters from the deep blue northeast state cheered wildly as the 45th president railed against Biden-Harris administration policies and vowed to “Make America Great Again.” Trump took the stage at Madison Square Garden just after 7 p.m. in the packed stadium, where he focused his speech on spiraling immigration, inflation woes, and looking toward the future with lower consumer costs and securing the border. The rally was first-come, first-serve, and sold out within hours of being announced earlier this month. Madison Square Garden has a capacity of 19,500 people. “I’m hereby calling for the death penalty for any migrant that kills an American citizen or a law enforcement officer,” Trump told the crowds as he spoke about the illegal immigration crisis since 2021. “I will rescue every city and town that has been invaded and conquered, and we will put these vicious and bloodthirsty criminals in jail. Gonna kick them the hell out of our country as fast as possible. And to expedite removals of Tren de Aragua and other savage gangs like MS-13, which is equally vicious, I will invoke the Alien Enemies act of 1798,” he said. ELON MUSK, DANA WHITE TO APPEAR AT ‘HISTORIC’ TRUMP MSG RALLY Trump said that Harris was behind “the most egregious betrayal” of any U.S. leader due to immigration policies under the Biden-Harris administration. “Over the past four years, Kamala Harris has orchestrated the most egregious betrayal that any leader in American history has ever inflicted upon our people. She has violated her oath, eradicated our sovereign border, and unleashed an army of migrant gangs who are waging a campaign of violence and terror against our citizens,” he said. The massive rally, where nearly 200,000 people tried to gain access according to Donald Trump Jr., included a handful of high-profile speakers ahead of Trump’s remarks, including an address from former first lady Melania Trump. TRUMP AT MADISON SQUARE GARDEN: ICONIC VENUE HAS PLAYED HOST TO MANY CAMPAIGN GATHERINGS NEAR ELECTION DAY “Envision a wonderful America where the seeds of security, prosperity, and health are so and once again for the benefit of our families,” Melania Trump said before introducing her husband. “Let us start together with a shared vision that builds on American greatness. Let’s seize this moment and create a country for tomorrow, the future that we deserve. And now.” Trump’s speech included a focus on the economy and spiraling inflation and “bringing back the American dream,” including vowing to the audience that he will cut their energy costs in half by January of 2026 if he’s elected. TRUMP PREPS FOR MASSIVE CAMPAIGN RALLY SUNDAY AT NEW YORK CITY’S MADISON SQUARE GARDEN “I will terminate the green new scam. And we’ll cut your energy prices in half, 50% within one year from January 20th. Is the fake news hearing that?” he said, before directing the audience to the “fake news media” at the rally. Trump touted that if he wins the election next week, he will lower costs for consumers, as well as end taxes on tips, overtime, and Social Security benefits. “We will rapidly defeat inflation and we will very simply make America affordable again. We’re going to make it affordable. I will massively cut taxes for workers and small businesses, and we will have no tax on tips. No tax on overtime. And no tax on Social Security benefits for our seniors,” he said. Trump added that under his leadership, the Republican Party has become the “party of inclusion.” ELON MUSK COMES OUT IN SUPPORT OF TRUMP IN ‘DARK GOTHIC MAGA’ AT MADISON SQUARE GARDEN “Jews and Muslims and Catholics and evangelicals and Mormons and they’re all joining our cause in large numbers, larger than anyone has ever seen in this country before, larger than they’ve ever seen in any country,” he said. “And we’re a big, powerful party and they’re losing it. They’re really losing it. Together we will lift America to glory beyond your wildest dreams. It’s going to happen fast, too.” Other notable speakers at Trump’s rally included Speaker of House Mike Johnson, Hulk Hogan, tech billionaire Elon Musk, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., his running mate, Sen. JD Vance, and Dr. Phil McGraw. Kennedy, who ran for president as a Democrat before endorsing Trump in August, railed against the Democratic Party for morphing into a party he no longer recognizes. “The Democratic Party is the party of war. It’s the party of the CIA. You had Kamala Harris giving a speech at the Democratic convention that was written by neocons. It was belligerent. Pugnacious. It talked about domination of the world by the United States through our weapons of war. It’s the party today that wants to divide Americans. It’s a party that is dismantling women’s sports by letting men play women’s sports,” he said. TRUMP TO HOLD RALLY AT NEW YORK’S MADISON SQUARE GARDEN AHEAD OF ELECTION DAY “It’s the party of Wall Street. It’s the party of Bill Gates, who just gave $50 million to Harris. It’s the party and the Harris campaign is very proud that it received the endorsement of 50 former CIA agents and officers. And of John Bolton and of Dick Cheney.” Musk wore his “dark MAGA” all-black hat during the rally, which he called “dark gothic MAGA,” and vowed to cut government spending if Trump secures the election and appoints Musk to the administration as “Secretary of Cost-Cutting.” Trump had teased for months that he would hold a rally at Madison Square Garden and officially announced the event earlier in October. “This is going to be an iconic, historic day, and you can see it’s already full. I mean, it’s amazing. These tickets sold out in less than three hours. And it shows the enthusiasm, the momentum, the energy, as we are in this closing chapter of an unbelievable campaign,” New York Rep. Elise Stefanik told Fox News Digital ahead of
Elon Musk comes out in support of Trump in ‘dark gothic MAGA’ at Madison Square Garden
Elon Musk unveiled what he called a “dark gothic MAGA” look on Sunday while supporting former President Trump. “I’m dark gothic MAGA,” Musk told the crowd at Trump’s campaign event at Madison Square Garden. “The energy in this room is incredible.” The Tesla and SpaceX CEO was wearing a black MAGA cap with a gothic-looking font and a black shirt and jacket. TRUMP PREPS FOR MASSIVE CAMPAIGN RALLY SUNDAY AT NEW YORK CITY’S MADISON SQUARE GARDEN Musk took the stage at the event while leading the crowd in a “USA” chant and imploring those in attendance to vote early. “We’re going to get the government off your back and out of your pocketbook,” he said. “And America’s just not going. It’s just going to be great. America is going to reach heights that it has never seen before.” Musk urged those in attendance and watching on a video stream to vote early. “What is the scorecard? Vote early,” he said. “Vote now. Yeah. Make it make the margin of victory. So big that you know what can’t happen.” he added, referring to supposed issues with voter fraud.
The Speaker’s Lobby: Ghosts of the Republic
Edgar Allan Poe wrote that the scariest monsters are the ones which lurk within our souls. But what about the souls which lurk in the halls of Congress? The U.S. Capitol is more than 200 years old. And any building which has been around for two centuries, is stocked with legends and ghosts. This time of year, people flock to pop-up haunted houses “on the hill.” But when it comes to Washington, DC, there is only one haunted House (and Senate) on “the Hill.” So allow me to spook you with tales of the Capitol macabre as we descend into the Congressional catacombs. Four grand staircases occupy each quadrant of the Capitol. But the steps in the southwest portion of the building on the House side tell perhaps one of the most grotesque stories in Congress. 10 BEST PLACES TO CELEBRATE HALLOWEEN IN THE US, WITH SPOOKY SPOTS RANKED And we’re not talking about one of the big omnibus spending bills. Rep. William Taulbee, D-Ky., served in Congress in the late 19th Century. And just like today, the Capitol teams with journalists, chasing lawmakers for a quotation or information about legislation. But Taulbee had a problem. Reporter Charles Kincaid wrote for the Louisville Times. Kincaid penned an article about Taulbee’s dalliances titled “Kentucky’s Silver-Tongued Taulbee Caught in Flagrante or Thereabouts.” After the article, Taulbee didn’t seek reelection but stuck around in Washington, pushing various causes – long before “K Street” became a thing. But Taulbee and Kincaid would often run into one another at the Capitol. Taulbee was a lot taller than the diminutive Kincaid and would sometimes physically harass the scribe. The pen may be mightier than the sword. But it’s certainly not as powerful as a pistol. In February, 1890, the two men encountered one another near the House chamber. Kincaid produced his firearm and shot the former Congressman in the face. Taulbee bled profusely as he headed down the marble stairwell. Many lawmakers come to Washington, intent on leaving a mark on the body politic. But as it turns out, it was Taulbee’s body which left an indelible mark on the U.S. Capitol. USER’S MANUAL ON WHAT HOUSE RACES TO WATCH ON ELECTION NIGHT You see, the composition of human blood and the Georgian, white marble used to make the stairwells of the building don’t exactly mix. Splotches of Taulbee’s blood covered the staircase every few feet from the second floor to the first. Some markings look like shapes in a Rorschach test. Taulbee died the next day from his wounds. But his plasma is forever a part of the U.S. Capitol, permanently staining the staircase. As a result of his fate, Taulbee doesn’t think much of reporters. Even to this day. And it’s believed that Taulbee sometimes makes himself known by tripping members of the Congressional press corps. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau visited the Capitol in the summer of 2019. He had just met with then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif. However, word broke that day that the attendance-starved Tampa Bay Rays might try to work out an agreement to play some of their home games in Montreal. The Montreal Expos abandoned Canada in 2005 to become the Washington Nationals. Trudeau was a fan of the Expos. There’s even a picture of a boyish Trudeau in the stands at Olympic Stadium in Montreal with his father, late Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau. It would be a scoop if the younger Trudeau weighed-in on the prospects of Major League Baseball returning to Montreal. Trudeau walked down a spiral staircase not far from where Kincaid killed Taulbee. I tried to get a comment from Trudeau. But for no apparent reason, I tripped over the lip of a step and cascaded in front of the Canadian leader. I didn’t drop the microphone. I also knew that I could break my arm or hand if I tried to catch myself. REPORTER’S NOTEBOOK: WITH NO GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN, IT FEELS LIKE CHRISTMAS IN SEPTEMBER Fortunately, I studied martial arts for years. One of the things they teach you is how to fall. I quickly adjusted my weight so I plunged onto my right shoulder and rolled. My feet flew up in the air. This was all caught on tape by my photographer Robert Fetzer. “Oh Chad! Chad! Chad! Chad,” yelled Fetzer, as I plopped directly in front of Trudeau. I was uninjured and Trudeau extended an arm to assist me. But I had already sprang back to my feet. Alas, Trudeau didn’t answer my question about the Rays and Montreal and went on his way. But there was no logical reason why I tripped there. I’ve stood by those stairs hundreds of times. I’ve never been caught by the lip of the lower stairs. A possible explanation? Perhaps the ghost of William Taulbee saw to it that I keister over teakettle in front of the Canadian Prime Minister. CANADIAN PM TRUDEAU SAYS ‘THERE’S MORE WORK TO DO’ AS HIS PARTY LOSES LONG-HELD SEAT IN QUEBEC However, there is only one Capitol haunting which surpasses the Taulbee tripping tale. But only by a whisker. It’s the legend of the demon cat. Capitol Police officers and even 19th century watchmen claim they’ve seen a phantasmic feline prowl the hallways of the Capitol before national emergencies. Especially war and assassinations. Purr-portedly. That said, no one spotted the demon cat before 9/11 or the 2021 Capitol riot. CONTINGENT ELECTIONS: WHAT THEY ARE, AND WHAT TO EXPECT IF 2024 TRIGGERS ONE Maybe the demon cat – like all cats – only has nine lives. But I can take you to a place where the demon cat is said to have walked. Go to the first floor of the “mini” Rotunda on the Senate side of the Capitol near the Old Supreme Court chamber. If you learn against one of the columns near that room and look down, you might just see several paw prints permanently etched into the floor. However, the light must catch the prints
Is a peace deal in Gaza possible after the killing of Yahya Sinwar?
Leaders gather in Doha for yet another round of ceasefire talks, with hopes are running high. Gaza ceasefire talks have restarted in the Qatari capital, Doha, after being stalled for months. Israel’s Mossad foreign intelligence agency chief and the head of the CIA have met with the Qatari prime minister in hopes of moving negotiations forward. The killing of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar should, according to Israel and the US, pave the way for a peace agreement, ending the war on Gaza and allowing for the release of the remaining captives in Gaza. The latest round of talks comes on the heels of a series of targeted assassinations by Israel of leaders both in Gaza and Lebanon. But could the talks really lead to a breakthrough? Presenter: Hashem Ahelbarra Guests Salman Shaikh – former UN official who advised the UN’s peace envoys to Gaza, Jerusalem and Lebanon.

Bulgaria centre right leads in snap vote, fails to win majority: Exit polls
GERB party in the lead in parliamentary elections, but falls short of majority needed to end political instability. Bulgaria’s centre-right GERB party was in the lead after a parliamentary election on Sunday, an exit poll showed, but has fallen short of a majority that would put an end to the country’s political instability. The Alpha Research poll showed Citizens for European Development of Bulgaria (GERB) winning 26.4 percent of the votes, while reformist We Continue the Change (PP) was seen coming second with 14.9 percent of the votes. The pro-Russia ultra-nationalist Revival party was set to come third with 12.9 percent of the vote. In the seventh such vote in four years, former conservative Prime Minister Boyko Borisov’s GERB party repeated its performance in the previous ballot last June by winning between 25 and 27 percent of the vote on Sunday, according to the polls. Sunday’s election was triggered by the failure of Bulgaria’s political parties to agree on forming a coalition government after an inconclusive election on June 9. The European Union’s poorest member country has been at a standstill since 2020, when massive anti-corruption protests brought down Borisov’s cabinet. But there is a high chance that GERB will yet again struggle to find partners to govern in the country’s extremely fragmented parliament, where seven to nine parties are expected to be represented. GERB would get 74 seats in the 240-seat parliament, while PP would get 42 seats, and Revival 36 seats, according to the Alpha Research poll. “GERB has the responsibility to form a government, let’s see what they propose,” said Nikolai Denkov, former prime minister and member of the PP party. “We are going to wait for the final results.” Bulgaria needs a period of stable, well-functioning government to accelerate the flow of European Union funds into its creaking infrastructure and nudge it towards adoption of the euro. Plans to join the eurozone have already been pushed back twice because of missed inflation targets. Accession is currently slated for January 25, 2025. Compared to the last election, voter turnout appeared to have slightly increased to 35 percent one hour before the polls closed. In June, voter turnout plummeted to just 34 percent – the lowest since the end of communism. According to a recent opinion poll, about 60 percent of Bulgarians surveyed view the political deadlock as “extremely alarming”. Many voters said they feared further uncertainty ahead. “What was expected, happened more or less… I think we are going to have more elections,” said Vassil Vasilev, 60, after hearing about the exit poll.

Plight of Gaza civilians ‘unbearable’ as Israel kills over 50 in a day
UN chief Antonio Guterres says the levels of death and injury in north Gaza are ‘harrowing’ and calls plight of Palestinians ‘unbearable’. Israeli attacks have killed more than 50 Palestinians across the Gaza Strip in less than a day, most of them in the north of the enclave which has been the scene of renewed Israeli ground offensive for the past three weeks, leading the chief of the United Nations to call the plight of civilians there “unbearable”. At least 11 Palestinians were killed and dozens of others wounded after a school in northern Gaza was hit on Sunday. Reporting from Deir el-Balah in central Gaza, Al Jazeera’s Hind Khoudary said the school is in the middle of the Shati refugee camp, a densely populated camp in northern Gaza. “The Israeli strike killed at least eight Palestinians, including three journalists and an eight-year-old girl called Zayn al-Ghoul, who was waiting in a queue to receive biscuits from the school,” she said, adding that the death toll could climb as the number of injured was high. The Israeli military has said it was looking into the report about the strike on the school. The military added that it had killed more than 40 Hamas fighters in the Jabalia area in the past 24 hours, as well as dismantled infrastructure and located large quantities of military equipment. Hamas has not yet commented on the Jabalia strikes. Israeli military strikes on the towns of Jabalia, Beit Hanoon and Beit Lahiya in northern Gaza have so far killed about 800 people in the three-week offensive, Gaza’s Ministry of Health said. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has said he is “shocked by harrowing levels of death, injury and destruction” in north Gaza. “The plight of Palestinian civilians trapped in North Gaza is unbearable,” Guterres’s spokesman said. As the death toll from Israel’s retaliatory campaign in Gaza approaches 43,000 since the start of the war on October 7, with the densely populated enclave in ruins, new ceasefire talks have begun in Doha. On Sunday, the directors of the CIA and Israel’s Mossad intelligence agency travelled to Qatar to meet Qatar’s prime minister to discuss a ceasefire agreement. Egyptian officials are also participating in the talks. Separately, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi has proposed a two-day ceasefire in Gaza in exchange for Israeli captives with some Palestinian prisoners. Meanwhile, in Lebanon on Sunday, Israeli forces continued their air raids on the capital Beirut’s southern suburbs after warning residents of several neighbourhoods to leave their homes. Israeli forces also targeted southern Lebanon. At least eight people were killed and 25 injured in an Israeli air strike on the coastal city of Sidon in southern Lebanon. Lebanese officials said at least 21 people were in Israeli attacks in southern Lebanon. In retaliation, Hezbollah has been launching attacks across the border into northern Israel. United States Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Friday met with Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati in London but stopped short of calling for an immediate ceasefire. Washington provides weapons and diplomatic cover to Israel, which has been condemned for violating the rules of war. Adblock test (Why?)
Former Dem Dov Hikind blasts Clinton, Harris for comparing Trump rally to Nazis: ‘So freaking desperate’
Americans Against Antisemitism founder Dov Hikind, a lifelong Democrat turned Republican, criticized Hillary Clinton and Vice President Kamala Harris for comparing former President Trump’s rally at Madison Square Garden to a Nazi rally at the famous venue in the 1930s. “My God, what the hell is wrong with these people,” Hikind said in a video posted to X. “This desperation on the part of Hillary Clinton and Harris calling Donald Trump a facist.” “Madison Square Garden. Half the place is going to be Jews there to support Donald Trump,” he added. “They are so freaking desperate and they are ready to destroy America.” Hikind noted that his mother was a holocaust survivor in the Auschwitz concentration camp and that most of her family were killed by the Nazis. TRUMP ADVISER UNPACKS WHY FORMER PRESIDENT IS HOLDING RALLY IN DEEP-BLUE STATE WEEKS FROM ELECTION Clinton has linked the rally at MSG to the infamous Nazi rally that took place in the arena in 1939. The event was organized by the pro-Nazi German American Bund and was attended by thousands in the lead-up to World War II. On Sunday, Harris’ running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, echoed the same comparison. “Donald Trump’s got this big, rally going at Madison Square Garden. There’s a direct parallel to a big rally that happened in the mid-1930s at Madison Square Garden. And don’t think that he doesn’t know for one second exactly what they’re doing there,” Walz said. TRUMP TO HOLD RALLY AT NEW YORK’S MADISON SQUARE GARDEN AHEAD OF ELECTION DAY Hikind, a former New York state lawmaker from Brooklyn, said Trump has the support of many Jews. “So much of the Jewish community committed to Israel is supporting Donald Trump,” he said. “To compare him to Nazis, the event at Madison Square Garden. Shame on them. Shame.” Hikind served as a Democrat for decades before joining the Republican Party in 2023. “Unfortunately, the Democratic Party has become so radicalized, so radical, run by the radicals, that people who are moderates or conservative Democrats are not welcomed in the Democratic Party,” Hikind said in a video message announcing his switch. “And I’ve had enough. The Democratic Party turns its back on its friends like Israel, the Biden administration right now in policy after policy. I’m just tired. I’ve had enough,” he added. “It took a long long time but I am delighted to join the Republican Party.” Fox News Digital has reached out to the Trump and Harris campaigns.
Former Dem House candidate released ad explaining decision to switch to GOP
Louisiana House candidate Elbert Guillory released an advertisement explaining his decision to switch from the Democratic to the Republican Party, arguing it is the GOP that has the history of championing the rights of the Black community. “It was the right decision, not only for me, but for all my brothers and sisters in the Black community,” Guillory said in the ad, explaining his decision. “The Democratic Party has created the illusion that their agenda and their policies are what’s best for Black people. Somehow, it’s been forgotten that the Republican Party was founded in 1842 as an abolitionist movement.” The ad comes just over a week before Guillory faces off with four other candidates in Louisiana’s primary election, with Guillory being the only Republican candidate in the field. TRADITIONALLY DEM LEADERS IN KEY MICHIGAN VOTING BLOC DITCH HARRIS, ENDORSE TRUMP Louisiana uses a majority-vote system, with all candidates, regardless of party, competing in the same election. If a candidate is able to get over 50% of the vote, that candidate wins the election outright. If no candidate is able to achieve the 50% mark, the two top candidates will then compete in a runoff election the following month. Guillory served in the Louisiana House from 2007 to 2009 and the state Senate from 2009 to 2016. He switched his party affiliation from Democrat to Republican during his time in the state Senate in 2013. In his new ad, Guillory explained the decision as a simple one, arguing that Democrats have done little to actually help the Black community. “The Democrats, on the other hand, were the party of Jim Crow. It was Democrats who defended the rights of slave owners,” Guillory said. “It was the Republican President Dwight Eisenhower who championed the Civil Rights Act of 1957, but it was the Democrats in the Senate who filibustered the bill.” FOX NEWS POWER RANKINGS: VOTER OUTREACH, BALLOT EFFICIENCY AND A LITTLE HOUSEKEEPING Guillory is making the pitch to voters in a district that is now much more competitive for Democrats after the state’s maps were redrawn in 2022, with the Cook Political Report rating the race as “Solid Democratic” as of Oct. 22. Nevertheless, Guillory is standing behind his decision to switch parties. “At the heart of liberalism is the idea that only a great and powerful big government can be the benefactor of social justice for all Americans,” he said in the ad. “But the left is only concerned with one thing, control, and they disguise this control as charity programs such as welfare, food stamps.” “These programs aren’t designed to lift Americans out of poverty,” he continued, “They were always intended as a mechanism for politicians to control the Black community. The idea that Blacks, or anyone for that matter, need the government to get ahead in life is despicable.” Get the latest updates from the 2024 campaign trail, exclusive interviews and more at our Fox News Digital election hub.
Trump supporters converge on Madison Square Garden ahead of highly-anticipated rally: ‘Iconic’
Former President Donald Trump is set to take the stage at Madison Square Garden in deep blue New York City, in a highly-anticipated rally that supporters are calling “iconic.” “This is going to be an iconic, historic day, and you can see it’s already full. I mean, it’s amazing. These tickets sold out in less than three hours. And it shows the enthusiasm, the momentum, the energy, as we are in this closing chapter of an unbelievable campaign,” New York Republican Rep. Elise Stefanik told Fox News Digital from inside Madison Square Garden on Sunday. Trump is expected to take the stage after 5 p.m. on Sunday evening, where supporters began gathering on Saturday in anticipation of the event. Trump had teased for months that he would hold a rally at Madison Square Garden and officially announced the event earlier in October. “We just rented Madison Square Garden. We’re going to make a play. We’re going to make a play for New York. Hasn’t been done in a long time. It hasn’t been done in many decades,” Trump said during a Pennsylvania rally earlier this month. New York last voted for a Republican president in 1984 during President Ronald Reagan’s landslide victory, when he only lost the state of Minnesota. TRUMP PREPS FOR MASSIVE CAMPAIGN RALLY SUNDAY AT NEW YORK CITY’S MADISON SQUARE GARDEN Stefanik told Fox Digital that Trump could win the massive state, saying Vice President Kamala Harris is underperforming with voters in New York swing districts. “I do think that President Trump can make history and win New York, and here’s why. If you look at Kamala Harris’s performance, she is underperforming Joe Biden in every single swing district in New York City. She will be the lowest performing Democrat nominee for president since the 1980s. President Trump has historic support among growing demographic groups, African American voters, Hispanic voters, Jewish voters, working class voters. So this is an America First movement that works for all Americans and I think that New York could make history on Election Day.” ELON MUSK, DANA WHITE TO APPEAR AT ‘HISTORIC’ TRUMP MSG RALLY The rally is first-come, first-serve, and sold out within hours of being announced. Madison Square Garden has a capacity of 19,500 people. Fox Digital spoke to attendees gathered outside the arena, who relayed they are “excited” to see Trump at home in New York City and that many New Yorkers are ready to pull the lever for the GOP ticket next week. “Absolutely,” Westchester native Alexa Brink told Fox Digital when asked if other New Yorkers she knows will vote for Trump. “All day long. Let’s go Trump!” She added that she wasn’t sure if Trump can win New York, “but we’ll try!” TRUMP TO HOLD RALLY AT NEW YORK’S MADISON SQUARE GARDEN AHEAD OF ELECTION DAY Another rally-goer named Anas Shuaib said that on Nov. 5 voters will tell Harris: “You’re fired.” “I’m an Arab-American, Muslim-American, and I’m voting for Trump because just like Kamala kicked out that Muslim at the rally, Ahmed Ghanim, we’re going to kick her out of the White House. And when Trump becomes president, there’s going to be peace, there’s going to be prosperity, and America first … no one else first.” TRUMP ADVISER UNPACKS WHY FORMER PRESIDENT IS HOLDING RALLY IN DEEP-BLUE STATE WEEKS FROM ELECTION “I want Kamala to know, you’re fired,” he continued. Stefanik added in her comment to Fox Digital that the rally is a testament to his support nationwide. “President Trump has talked with me about this for the past four years, so I’m so glad that this is happening. This is a real testament to so much support that he has, not only in the state of New York, but across the country.” Get the latest updates from the 2024 campaign trail, exclusive interviews and more at our Fox News Digital election hub.
Harris mocked for unveiling ‘new accent’ at Philadelphia event: ‘Everything about this woman is fake’
Vice President Kamala Harris is back in the battleground state of Pennsylvania on Sunday, where she spoke before a Philadelphia church congregation and subsequently came under fire from social media commenters for allegedly unveiling a “new accent” during the event. “BREAKING: Kamala Harris unveils a new accent at a black Philadelphia church,” popular conservative X account “End Wokeness” posted Sunday accompanied by video of Harris at the event. Harris traveled to the Church of Christian Compassion in Philadelphia on Sunday morning, where she spoke to the predominantly Black congregants, telling them that in just nine days, voters will “have the power to decide the fate of our nation for generations to come.” “Here in Pennsylvania, right now each of us has an opportunity to make a difference. Because in this moment we do face a real question. What kind of country do we want to live in?” she said. “The great thing about living in a democracy is we the people have the choice to answer that question. So let us answer not just with our words, but with our works.” HARRIS MOCKED ONLINE FOR BREAKING OUT ANOTHER ‘NEW ACCENT’ AT CONGRESSIONAL BLACK CAUCUS EVENT Harris cited the Book of Psalms in her remarks, including saying: “Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the mornin’. The path may seem hard, the work may seem heavy, but joy cometh in the mornin’ and church morning is on its way.” Critics on social media pounced on clips of Harris quoting Psalms, saying she debuted a new “pastor” accent, comparing her inflection to Martin Luther King’s tenor. KAMALA HARRIS RALLIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY REPEATING SAME SPEECH IN DIFFERENT ACCENTS Harris has previously been accused by critics of unveiling new “accents” while on the campaign trail, including one last month when she spoke before the Congressional Black Caucus, and another “accent” that was compared to “Foghorn Leghorn” during a Labor Day rally in Detroit when she spoke to blue-collar union workers. “Since when does the vice president have what sounds like a Southern accent?” Fox News’ Peter Doocy asked White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre last month following her Detroit speech that was compared to the “Foghorn Leghorn” cartoon character. WHITE HOUSE DISMISSES QUESTIONS ABOUT KAMALA HARRIS’ NEW ‘SOUTHERN ACCENT:’ ‘JUST INSANE’ “I have no idea what you’re talking about,” Jean-Pierre replied. “Well, she was talking about unions in Detroit using one tone of voice, she used the same line in Pittsburgh, and it sounded like she at least had some kind of Southern drawl,” Doocy pressed. KAMALA HARRIS CALLED OUT FOR ‘STRANGE’ ACCENT: ‘IT DOESN’T MAKE SENSE’ “I mean, do you hear the question that you’re – I mean, do you think Americans seriously think that this is an important question?” Jean-Pierre pushed back. “You know what they care about? They care about the economy, they care about lowering costs, they care about health care. That’s what they want to hear… democracy and freedom… I’m not going to even entertain some question about… it’s just. Hearing it sounds so ridiculous. The question – I’m talking about the question – is just insane.” Fox News Digital reached out to the Harris campaign regarding the Philadelphia speech and critics who lambasted the VP for unveiling the “new accent,” but did not immediately receive a reply on Sunday afternoon. Pennsylvania is again a key battleground state this election cycle, after Trump won the state in his successful presidential election in 2016, and President Biden claimed the state in 2020. Both Trump and Harris have repeatedly crisscrossed the state in recent months as they work to lock up votes in the state that will likely determine the overall outcome of the election. Harris will hold a campaign rally in Philadelphia later Sunday, while Trump will join a rally in New York City’s Madison Square Garden Sunday evening.
