First lady stumps in key battleground state while Biden remains absent from the campaign trail

First lady Jill Biden will stump for Vice President Kamala Harris in a key battleground state on the last day before the general election, while President Biden, the former Democratic nominee, is absent from the campaign trail. The first lady will spend election eve campaigning for Harris in North Carolina – a state of 16 key electoral votes that former President Donald Trump won in both 2016 and 2020. Neither Harris nor her running mate, Gov. Tim Walz, have events scheduled in North Carolina on Monday. However, Jill Biden is expected to make stops in three cities across the state: Winston-Salem, Carrboro and Durham. The first lady was also on the campaign trail Sunday, speaking at a get-out-the-vote event in Pennsylvania. HARRIS DISTANCES HERSELF FROM BIDEN LABELING TRUMP SUPPORTERS ‘GARBAGE’ While his wife hits the trail for the Democratic presidential nominee, President Biden’s public schedule shows he will remain off the campaign trail until Election Day.  HARRIS CAMPAIGN ABANDONS BIDEN IN FINAL WEEKS BEFORE ELECTION DAY: REPORT The president will spend Monday making calls to thank service members for “recent successful counterterrorism operations against ISIS in Iraq and Syria,” according to his public schedule.  The president attended a get-out-the-vote event in his hometown of Scranton, Pennsylvania, on Saturday, but has remained largely distant from the campaign trail since Harris stepped in as his replacement in July. Harris, herself, has also appeared to distance herself from Biden throughout her campaign.  The vice president recently told Fox News’ Bret Baier that her presidency would “not be a continuation of Joe Biden’s presidency.” “Like every new president that comes into office, I will bring my life experiences, my professional experiences, and fresh and new ideas. I represent a new generation of leadership,” Harris told Fox News. CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP Most recently, President Biden suggested that Trump supporters are “garbage.”  Questioned on the comment, which sparked outrage from the GOP, Harris told reporters that “I think that first of all, he clarified his comments, but let me be clear, I strongly disagree with any criticism of people based on who they vote for.”

Critics warn red state ballot measure is progressive ‘power grab’ that will ‘decimate’ voice of voters

DAYTON, OH – A competitive Senate race in Ohio has resulted in voters being flooded with ads about national issues, but a lesser known state ballot measure to amend the state constitution could, according to its critics, fundamentally change the makeup of elections for the worse for years to come. On Tuesday, Ohio voters will vote “yes” or “no” on a measure “to create an appointed redistricting commission not elected by or subject to removal by the voters of the state.” The ballot question states that it would, among other things, “repeal constitutional protections against gerrymandering approved by nearly three quarters of Ohio electors participating in the statewide elections of 2015 and 2018, and eliminate the longstanding ability of Ohio citizens to hold their representatives accountable for establishing fair state legislative and congressional districts.” Ohioans voted overwhelmingly in 2015 to create the commission and have it draw State House districts. During that bipartisan campaign, which was called Fair Districts for Ohio, they were promised the new system would “protect against gerrymandering.” In 2018, voters gave the commission an additional role in a new system set up to draw congressional districts. NONPARTISAN WATCHDOG RELEASES REPORT OUTLINING TOP ELECTION SECURITY THREATS FOR 2024: ‘A LOT CAN GO SIDEWAYS’ Citizens Not Politicians (CNP) argues the existing system has failed. The group is calling for replacing the current regime with an independent body made up of average citizens. Current and former politicians, party officials and lobbyists would be ineligible. The 15-member Ohio Citizens Redistricting Commission would include Republicans, Democrats and independents and represent a mix of the state’s geographic and demographic traits. CNP sued the Ohio Ballot Board and Republican Secretary of State Frank LaRose over the wording of the ballot measure, and small tweaks were made. However, the court ruled the phrase “required to gerrymander” was accurate and upheld the majority of the wording. While CNP argues that this measure puts citizens in control of district mapping, opponents warn that the measure is a partisan power grab funded by progressive groups, including dark money. “Issue 1 doesn’t empower citizens, it does the exact opposite,” Honest Elections Project Executive Director Jason Snead told Fox News Digital. “It creates a new class of politicians who are wholly unaccountable to the people of Ohio. It’s nothing more than a liberal power grab designed to send more progressive politicians to Washington and Columbus.” KEY BIDEN AGENCY SLAPPED WITH ANOTHER SUBPOENA RELATED TO VOTER REGISTRATION PUSH IN CRUCIAL SWING STATE Americans for Public Trust Executive Director Caitlin Sutherland has raised concerns about who is funding the “yes” side of the argument. “Liberal operatives have openly discussed their strategy to weaponize ballot issues in competitive states not only to bypass the legislatures, but also boost their preferred progressive candidates,” Sutherland said. “That’s the exact playbook they’re using in Ohio with Issue 1. The Arabella-managed Sixteen Thirty Fund is the number one donor to the campaign to pass Issue 1, which would force gerrymandering in the state and decimate the voice of Ohioans.” Issue 1 Ohio Works has argued that a “yes” vote “creates an unaccountable commission whose members are chosen out of a hat by four retired judges, an unknown private hiring firm and commission members themselves.” “Issue 1 will require Ohio’s legislative districts be gerrymandered to ensure that Republicans and Democrats can each win a set number of seats in the General Assembly and Congress,” Ohio Works argued. “Ohio voters could be stuck with a representative from the opposite party on the opposite end of the state who doesn’t share their point of view. Issue 1 will allow for maps to divide any county, city or township into as many districts as necessary to achieve the set number of seats. It will also create legislative districts with strange shapes like the famous ‘snake on the lake’ district that has defined Ohio gerrymandering for years.” UNEARTHED DOCUMENTS CONTRADICT VULNERABLE HOUSE DEMOCRAT’S RHETORIC ABOUT CHAMPIONING EVICTION BAN Fox News Digital spoke to LaRose about the ballot measure on Saturday and asked what his message would be to voters who are still undecided or perhaps confused by the barrage of ads from both sides. “Here’s the easiest way to describe it,” LaRose said. “Issue 1 would replace the current redistricting process where people that you can fire, that are accountable to you, right? Elected officials are in charge of drawing district lines and are required to draw those in a balanced, bipartisan way. That’s what the Ohio Constitution was amended to do ten years ago when over 70% of Ohioans voted for that.” “Now, if Issue 1 passes, all of those rules that protect against gerrymandering go away. A 15 member panel will be created. It’s supposed to be five Democrats, five Republicans and five Independents. But they’re appointed through this really complex process. I call it a Rube Goldberg device, like one of those drawings with the overly complicated thing. So, somehow they get these 15 people, those people then can never be fired from the redistricting commission. You’re literally never allowed to talk to them, which I think is a First Amendment violation. It says right in the amendment. You only can talk to them at a public meeting. So if your kid plays soccer with one of their kids, you can’t tell them how you think that the line drawing should work, which is crazy.” SWING STATE GOP CANDIDATE COULD HIT MAJOR MILESTONE IN MAYORAL RACE AMID ‘REPUBLICAN WAVE’ OPTIMISM LaRose explained that “they’re required to sit down and draw state legislative and congressional districts to create a certain number of Democratic seats and a certain number of Republican seats,” which he calls the “definition of gerrymandering.” LaRose also warned that a “yes” on Issue 1 could end up negatively affecting minority communities in inner cities. “They will try to create an arbitrary number of Democrat seats that really don’t fit, square peg, round hole kind of stuff and what they will do is crack urban populations, reduce minority representation,” LaRose

‘Human punch-line’ Tim Kaine mocked for SNL cameo by GOP Senate challenger amid equal-time rule outrage

Virginia Republican Senate candidate Hung Cao mocked his Democratic opponent, incumbent Sen. Tim Kaine, for appearing on “Saturday Night Live” amid outrage that NBC appeared to violate a Federal Communications Commission (FCC) equal-time rule for featuring both Kaine and Vice President Kamala Harris on the comedy show without showcasing their political opponents.  “Many of my supporters are saying I should sue NBC for giving free airtime to my opponent Tim Kaine right before my election. I disagree,” Cao said in a statement posted to his social media.  “I was barnstorming 12 towns and cities across Virginia yesterday talking about how we’re going to secure our border & lower prices, while Tim was being a human punch-line in New York City.” Social media erupted on Saturday as news spread that Harris’ planned flight to Detroit for a campaign event was diverted to New York City, as speculation mounted the Democratic nominee would make a surprise appearance on “SNL.” Harris, as well as Kaine, did appear on the comedy show, sparking outrage from Trump supporters, as well as a commissioner on the FCC, who said NBC appeared to violate the agency’s equal-time rule for hosting the political candidates in the final episode of “SNL” before Election Day.  FCC COMMISSIONER RIPS NBC OVER HARRIS’ LAST-MINUTE SNL APPEARANCE: ‘PLAINLY DESIGNED TO EVADE’ THE RULES The equal-time rule, established in 1934, requires radio and television broadcast stations to provide the same amount of time for competing political candidates. There are exceptions to the rule, such as newscasts, documentaries and political debates. “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. 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,” Republican FCC commissioner Brendan Carr told Fox News Digital in a Zoom interview Sunday morning.  TRUMP, HARRIS CAMPAIGNS MAKE FINAL PLAYS AS NATION SITS BARELY ONE DAY FROM ELECTION DAY Carr said Cao, former President Trump, Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein, and even Robert F. Kennedy Jr. – who is still on the ballot in some states after dropping out of the presidential and endorsing Trump – are likely eligible to receive the same amount of time on “SNL” as their respective challengers this election cycle.  “Later on in the program, Sen. Kaine here in Virginia, where I am, appeared on the program, and he’s up for election on Tuesday as well. There’s an opposing campaign, the Hung Cao campaign, they may also have a right now to comparable time in programming,” he told Fox Digital on Sunday.  KAMALA HARRIS APPEARS ON ‘SNL’ IN FINAL EPISODE BEFORE ELECTION Kaine, Hillary Clinton’s running mate during her failed 2016 presidential run, appeared in a skit as a contestant on a game show who couldn’t remember who Kaine was. His appearance followed Harris joining “SNL” alum Maya Rudolph in the comedy show’s cold open.  ‘SNL’ TAKES AIM AT KAMALA HARRIS’ ‘MIDDLE-CLASS FAMILY’ FAMILY RESPONSE DURING ‘FAMILY FEUD’ SKIT Fox News Digital reached out to Cao for additional comment on the debacle, but did not immediately receive a response. The Virginia Republican and retired Navy captain did thank NBC and Kaine for the appearance in his initial comment.  FCC COMMISSIONER OUTLINES ‘POTENTIAL REMEDIES’ FOR NBC’S ‘CLEAR AND BLATANT’ ELECTION LAW VIOLATION “I want to thank NBC & Tim Kaine for making the contrast so clear about the stakes on Tuesday,” he capped off his statement.  Lorne Michaels, the creator of “Saturday Night Live,” said just last month that it was highly unlikely that either Trump or Harris would appear on the comedy show, explicitly citing the equal time provision laws.  NBC FILES EQUAL TIME NOTICE FOR HARRIS’ SNL CAMEO FOLLOWING BACKLASH “You can’t bring the actual people who are running on because of election laws and the equal time provisions,” Michaels told the Hollywood Reporter in October. “You can’t have the main candidates without having all the candidates, and there are lots of minor candidates that are only on the ballot in, like, three states and that becomes really complicated.” Carr noted in the Fox Digital interview that Michaels was aware of the FCC’s equal time rule just the other week.  “This is exactly why Lorne Michaels just weeks ago went public and said they would not be doing any candidate appearances, because he understood the thicket that it would throw NBC into. Something changed at the last minute, and they’ve now gone down this path. And again, I think it’s important that the FCC come together and we take action. Otherwise, our rules are absolutely meaningless,” he said.  Late Sunday, NBC and affiliates ultimately filed equal-time notices regarding Harris’ and Kaine’s appearances on the show. “Kamala Harris, the Democratic candidate for president in the 2024 national election, appeared without charge on NBC’s “Saturday Night Live” (SNL) for a total period of 1 minute and 30 seconds on November 2, 2024,” the notice reads. Amid outrage over the appearances, an election ad for Trump aired on NBC toward the end of its broadcast of a NASCAR event and the NFL’s coverage of the Minnesota Vikings-Indianapolis Colts game on Sunday night. “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.” Get the latest updates from the 2024 campaign trail, exclusive interviews and more at our Fox News Digital election hub.

Elon Musk predicts ‘crushing’ loss for ‘big government machine represented by the Kamala puppet’

Pro-Trump business tycoon Elon Musk is predicting a Democratic drubbing in the 2024 presidential election. “Last election, I didn’t know a single independent/swing voter who was voting for Trump. This time, I don’t know anyone who isn’t. And one person after another has confided in me that they’re voting for Trump, but they’re afraid to say so publicly, because it will affect their friends/job/customers,” Musk noted in a post on X. “Crushing defeat is coming for the oppressive, big government machine represented by the Kamala puppet,” he added. ELON MUSK’S MOTHER REACTS TO MARK CUBAN’S SMEAR ON PRO-TRUMP WOMEN: ‘CERTAINLY NOT US’ Musk, who endorsed Trump earlier this year, has suggested that celebrity endorsements will not enable Vice President Kamala Harris, the 2024 Democratic presidential nominee, to win the White House contest. “Even if everyone in music & entertainment endorses the Kamala puppet, it won’t matter. The public sees through it,” he opined in a social media post. Trump has said that as president he would establish a “government efficiency commission” to audit the federal government and recommend “drastic reforms.” He said that Musk has agreed to helm the task force. ELON GOES ON CAMPAIGN BLITZ AGAINST GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS, VOWS TO REVEAL BIZARRE ALLEGED SCHEMES Former Rep. Ron Paul, who is the father of Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., indicated during an interview with David Gornoski that he would be willing to help if asked to do so, but noted that he would not want an official position. Musk suggested in a post on X that he would like to have former Rep. Ron Paul involved in the effort. “Would be great to have Ron Paul as part of the Department of Government Efficiency!” Musk tweeted. “I’d be happy to talk with you about it, Elon,” Paul responded.  ELON MUSK: LA RESIDENTS RECOIL AT MENTION OF TRUMP’S NAME Musk has advocated for increased government transparency, suggesting that Freedom of Information requests should not be necessary. “There should be no need for FOIA requests. All government data should be default public for maximum transparency,” he wrote in a post on X. Musk made the post while retweeting a post that contains a clip of him discussing the issue. In the clip, Musk suggested that all government information should be publicly available, unless making it public would pose a real risk to the nation.

Ahead of election, what do Latin Americans, Europeans think about Donald Trump, Kamala Harris?

As the world watches the U.S. election unfold, many, especially people in Latin America, believe that Trump is the only option to prevent the decline of American economic power and influence. Joseph Humire, an expert on Latin America and executive director of the think tank Center for a Secure Society, told Fox News Digital that many Latin Americans hope for a Trump victory on Nov. 5. Humire said the Biden administration’s policy toward Latin America has resulted in it being “the worst that I’ve seen.” “The last four years the region has gone into a very difficult direction,” he said. “Food inflation is really high. Organized crime and violence are really high. And, you know, little by little, they’re losing their democratic practices. There’s a huge democratic backsliding happening in the region.” Mexico’s army seizes local police weapons in cartel heartland amid gunfights, violence According to Humire, Latin Americans believe that if elected Vice President Kamala Harris would continue the policies of the Biden administration and thus continue the economic decline and stagnation in the region. On the other hand, Humire said the Latin American populace associates Trump’s presidency with a time when they experienced greater prosperity and that they see him as a sign of hope for better times when the U.S. had greater investment in the region and the economy was not so bleak. These people believe that Trump’s plan to lessen U.S. dependency on China would mean greater U.S. investment in Latin America. “Most of the countries in Latin America are very eager to have investment from the United States,” he explained. “If Kamala Harris wins, then you may have a lot of agnostic attitudes, but you’ll have people say, ‘The United States is pretty much done with.’ On the flip side, if President Trump wins, I think you’ll see a huge reaction in Latin America. I think you’ll see a lot of enthusiasm, not even just from the government leaders, from the people.” He also said that many politicos are closely watching the U.S. election, hoping it will bolster the ambitions of existing conservative, populist movements in South America. As U.S. influence in Latin America has waned, that vacuum has been filled by Russia, China and Iran, which has had a degrading effect on democracy in the region, Humire said. Argentine President Javier Milei serves as an example of a recently arisen populist leader who has said he was inspired by Trump’s success in the U.S. Humire believes that a Trump victory on Election Night could lead to a slate of additional conservative leaders rising across Latin America, especially in countries close to Argentina such as Chile and Colombia. As for the cartels, Humire said a Harris victory would essentially mean business as usual. “If Kamala wins,” he said, “they know they’ll look at that as an extension of President Biden, and they know how to work that. They’ve been pretty successful over the last four years, turning a lot of the policy failures of the Biden administration into profits and success for the transnational criminal organizations. And so, they’ll be more of the same.”   Meanwhile, though some believe Trump’s strongman rhetoric projects the type of strength that is needed today, the consensus in Europe and the United Kingdom is that Harris should be the next U.S. president, according to Alan Mendoza, a British political analyst and founder of the Henry Jackson Society.  Mendoza told Fox News Digital that “if Europe and the U.K. were voting, Kamala Harris would win by a landslide.” “Donald Trump does not obviously play to the European audience. He’s not trying to win over European hearts and minds,” he said. British invasion: Labour Party to descend on US to help Harris Mendoza said many Europeans are fearful that Trump will cut off all aid to Ukraine and pull the U.S. out of NATO at a time when the Russian threat is looming large over the continent. “We understand the threats. Russia is on the doorstep,” he said. On the other hand, he pointed out that Harris is inexperienced in foreign policy. He said some believe Trump would “restore” a sense of American strength and power that dissipated during the Biden administration. Mendoza said a Trump or Harris administration’s impact on Europe will depend on who they appoint to crucial roles, such as secretary of state.  “A lot of this depends on which version of the administrations turn up,” he said. “It’s clearly going to be a gamble either way as far as Europe is concerned.” Beyond that, Mendoza said Trump’s persona does not play well with European sensibilities. Whether justified or not, Mendoza said that Europeans have an impression, reinforced by European media coverage, that Trump is anti-democratic, isolationist and ultraconservative on social issues such as abortion. “It was put very well by the historian Niall Ferguson fairly recently who said, if your main concern is the American empire, i.e., America’s power overseas, you’re going to back Trump, and if your main concern is the American republic, i.e., democracy at home, you might well vote for Kamala Harris,” he said. Regardless of who they support, like most Americans, Mendoza said Europeans will be watching as the election results pour in. “The U.S. election is being watched all around the world,” he said. “And, of course, Europe and the U.K. are no different in this. It is the big one. Even in this year of many elections, everyone understands the importance of the American election.” Get the latest updates from the 2024 campaign trail, exclusive interviews and more at our Fox News Digital election hub.

GOP candidate delivers blistering closing message as most expensive Senate race in history comes to a close

BELLBROOK, OHIO – Ohio Republican Bernie Moreno is making his closing pitch to voters as one of the most closely watched Senate races in the country and the most expensive in American history enters its final days. Moreno addressed a large group of enthusiastic supporters on Saturday night in Greene County, Ohio, and also spoke to Fox News Digital about what he hopes undecided voters know about his race against incumbent Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown.  “Sherrod Brown is too liberal for Ohio,” Moreno said. “I’m for Ohio. He’s for they/them. The reality is I’m going to work every single day to make the lives of Ohioans better. Sherrod Brown has failed: 200,000 manufacturing jobs lost, Generationally high inflation, instability in every corner of the world. He’s for the Green New Deal. He doesn’t represent Ohio’s values.” “He’s too liberal for Ohio. I’m going to make a change. I’ll work hard every single day and always remember that voters are in charge.” I’M BERNIE MORENO: THIS IS WHY I WANT OHIO’S VOTE FOR SENATE After trailing Brown in most polls all summer, Moreno has pulled virtually even with Brown in the last few weeks. Moreno was asked whether he is “nervous” about the race given that the polls are so tight. “No, because, look, the polls had to be tied with Matt Dolan in the primary and we won by 18,” Moreno said. “Now, I don’t think it’s going to be an 18-point victory. But based on the energy, the enthusiasm, the early vote, the idea that people just want a change.” “They’ve been crushed by the last four years. High prices, open borders, instability all over the world. They see the people in Washington, D.C., taking better care of illegal immigrants than American citizens. They see this country sending billions of dollars overseas when we have real needs here. So I think the temperature in the country, in Ohio, they want to change. Now, here’s Sherrod Brown trying to run as a change candidate, which of course, is nonsense, considering they’re the party in charge right now. They have been for four years.” VULNERABLE DEM SENATOR TIED TO ‘RADICAL GROUPS’ WORKING TO CLOSE MASSIVE POWER PLANT IN SWING STATE Moreno, who drew a loud applause from the crowd after saying he is looking forward to “firing” Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., assuming Republicans take control of the Senate, criticized Brown for lamenting the idea that “greedy corporations” are generating high inflation.  “Come on, look, you know the greediest organization on earth? Government,” Moreno said. “You talk about powerful, greedy corporations? That’s the government. You don’t love your people and your country when you allow government spending combined with an assault on American energy to drive our prices up so that you can’t afford McDonald’s.” LEAKED VIDEO EXPOSES DEM STAFFER ADMITTING ‘QUIET PART OUT LOUD’ IN FIERY TIRADE: ‘OPEN THE F—ING BORDER’ On immigration, Moreno also made the case that politicians in Washington, D.C., can’t claim to love the country while at the same time allowing millions of illegal immigrants to cross the southern border. “If you love the people of this country, I mean, when I tell you genuinely love Americans, not just the country, but the people in the country, you don’t allow 12 million people to come into this country without being vetted,” Moreno said. “Uncontrolled illegal immigration, you just would never allow that if you love this country.” Brown’s ads have blanketed the airwaves, hitting Moreno on abortion and his business record, while Moreno has labeled Brown a career politician who is essentially a rubber stamp for the Biden-Harris administration. “Ohioans know Sherrod has worked with Republicans and stood up to his own party to get things done for Ohio – from taking on special interests to lower costs, to standing up to bad trade deals that shipped Ohio jobs overseas, to passing bipartisan laws to protect Ohioans from dangerous fentanyl,” a Brown campaign spokesperson told Fox News Digital. “While Sherrod fights to make sure hard work pays off for all Ohioans, Bernie Moreno has made it clear that he only looks out for himself, refused to pay his own employees the overtime they earned and destroyed the evidence to get away with it, and would overturn the will of Ohioans by supporting a national abortion ban.” The contentious ad campaign between the two candidates has become the most expensive Senate race in American history and is expected to exceed $500 million, eclipsing the $412 million price tag of the 2020 Georgia Senate race between Jon Ossoff and David Perdue, NBC News reported. Tuesday’s Ohio Senate election is expected to play a key role in whether Republicans are able to take control of the Senate, with many believing Brown represents one of the strongest chances Republicans have to do so. The Cook Political Report ranks the race as a “toss up.”

Harris didn’t mention Trump’s name during rally for first time as candidate

Vice President Kamala Harris did not mention the name of her opponent, former President Donald Trump, for the first time at her campaign rallies while hitting stops in Michigan on Sunday, just two days before Election Day. Harris made four campaign stops across the battleground state without mentioning Trump’s name as she looked to close out her campaign for president on a positive note. The vice president ended Sunday with a rally at Michigan State University’s Jamison Field House in East Lansing, where she sought to contrast her optimistic tone with what she has described as the darker message of her Republican opponent. “We have an opportunity in this election to finally turn the page on a decade of politics driven by fear and division,” Harris said in a veiled reference to Trump. “We are done with that. We are exhausted with that. America is ready for a fresh start, ready for a new way forward where we see our fellow American not as an enemy, but as a neighbor.” ON ELECTION EVE, HARRIS AND TRUMP HOLD DUELING RALLIES IN THE BIGGEST OF THE BATTLEGROUNDS While Harris was hoping to end with a more optimistic tone, surrogates of the vice president have recently hurled insults at Trump and his supporters. On Tuesday, President Biden spoke during a virtual Harris campaign with Voto Latino, where he took a swipe at Trump’s rally in Madison Square Garden. The rally made headlines after insult comedian Tony Hinchcliffe made a joke referring to Puerto Rico as a “floating island of garbage.” Biden, however, would go on to make his own headlines with his description of Trump supporters. “The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters,” Biden said. “His demonization of Latinos is unconscionable and it is un-American.” FETTERMAN UNLEASHES EXPLETIVES AIMED AT TRUMP IN CNN INTERVIEW, CONCEDES 45 HAS ‘CONNECTION’ WITH PA VOTERS On Thursday, billionaire Mark Cuban appeared on ABC’s “The View,” making comments some deemed insulting against women. “Donald Trump, you never see him around strong, intelligent women. Ever,” Cuban said. “It’s just that simple. They’re intimidating to him. He doesn’t like to be challenged by them.”  Meanwhile, Trump made stops in Pennsylvania, another critical battleground state that could tip the scales of the election. Trump flipped Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin in 2016, but all three turned blue for Biden in 2020. Fox News Digital’s Brooke Singman and Joseph A. Wulfsohn, along with The Associated Press contributed to this report.
