Trump, Harris head to battleground states of Michigan and Wisconsin

On Friday, former President Trump and Vice President Harris held competing rallies in Milwaukee, home to the crucial battleground state of Wisconsin, with just days left until the election.

"Today I ask you, are you ready to make your voices heard?" Harris asked her crowd in Milwaukee. "Do we believe in freedom? Do we believe in opportunity? Do we believe in the promise of America? And are we ready to fight for it?"

During Harris' rally, rapper Cardi B and comedian Keegan-Michael Key stumped for the vice president and made the case for voting for the Democratic nominee.

"I did not have faith on any candidate until she joined the race and said the things that I wanted to hear, that I want to see next in this country," Cardi B said. "I believe in every word that comes out of her mouth. She's passionate, she's compassionate, she shows empathy."

Earlier in the day, Trump campaigned in Michigan, where he told his supporters "nothing matters except what happens on Tuesday."

Both candidates will continue to target swing states over the weekend as they prepare for Election Day on Tuesday.

Harris campaigns in Georgia and North Carolina on Saturday before making multiple stops in Michigan on Sunday.

Trump campaigns this weekend in Georgia, North Carolina and Pennsylvania.

The former president will also make a stop on Saturday in Virginia, which has leaned blue in presidential elections for two decades.

Vice President Kamala Harris is urging her supporters to vote with the clock ticking down toward Election Day.

"We're going to get this done, but nobody can sit by the sidelines," the Democratic presidential nominee emphasized as she campaigned in battleground Wisconsin. "You don't want to look back on these four days and have any regrets about what you could have done."

Harris and the Republican nominee, former President Trump, held dueling rallies Friday night a few miles apart in Milwaukee, Wisconsin's largest city.

Hours earlier, while campaigning in Michigan, another crucial Great Lakes swing state, Trump told his supporters "nothing matters except what happens on Tuesday."

"Just pretend that we're one point down. We're not. We're up. But pretend that we're one point down on Tuesday," the former president stressed. He once again touted that he's leading Harris, even though the latest polls continue to indicate it's a toss-up.

Harris and Trump on Thursday each held their final events in the western battlegrounds of Arizona and Nevada, and Friday's competing rallies were their last stops in Wisconsin ahead of Election Day.

The razor-thin margins in those three states, along with Michigan, Pennsylvania, Georgia and North Carolina, decided President Biden's 2020 victory over Trump and will likely determine if Harris or Trump wins the 2024 election.

This weekend, both nominees will keep up the brisk pace.

Harris campaigns Saturday in Georgia and North Carolina and makes multiple stops in Michigan on Sunday. On Election Eve, she crisscrosses Pennsylvania, which, with 19 electoral votes up for grabs, is the biggest prize among the seven battlegrounds.

Trump campaigns this weekend in Georgia, North Carolina and Pennsylvania. He also makes a detour on Saturday in Virginia, a one-time swing state that has leaned blue in presidential elections for two decades. The former president will hold a rally in the conservative southwestern section of the commonwealth.

Georgia Republicans appear confident the state’s record-setting early voting numbers will favor their 2024 presidential nominee.

"It’s been record turnout, something unbelievable — voting from all across the state," Georgia Lt. Gov. Burt Jones told Fox News Digital. "I think the enthusiasm, the momentum, is with President Trump."

The former commander-in-chief lost Georgia by less than 1% in 2020, and Republicans have poured enormous time and resources into winning it back Nov. 5.

A significant part of that strategy has been convincing people to cast ballots early, traditionally a voting method more favored by Democrats.

And both parties’ emphasis on early voting has had a seismic effect. During the early voting period between Oct. 15 and Nov. 1, nearly 4 million Georgians cast in-person or absentee ballots, more than half the state’s active voters.

Over 700,000 people who voted already in 2024 did not vote at all in 2020, according to Georgia Votes. The top three counties for voter turnout rates are rural areas won by Trump in 2020.

Both of those factors, Jones argued, were favorable indicators for the ex-president.

"We've got a lot of voters that voted in 2016 but didn't vote in 2020. … What makes me believe that they are Trump voters is that most of them are ... from parts of the state that are pretty strong Republican strongholds," he said.

"You start breaking down where they live, where they were historically as far as the Republican cards they pulled in the past, and, like I said, the on-the-ground enthusiasm for [Trump] right now is pretty off the charts."

A judge in Cobb County, Georgia, has extended the deadline for absentee ballots after delays blamed on equipment failure and an uptick in last-minute applications.

Cobb County Superior Court Senior Judge Robert Flournoy approved the order, which was supported by four members of the Board of Elections and Registration and proposed by attorneys representing three voters affected by the issue, according to Fox 5 Atlanta.

Under the court’s order, absentee ballots mailed after Oct. 30 will be counted if they are postmarked by 7 p.m. on Election Day and received by 5 p.m. on Nov. 8.

The Cobb County Elections Department announced that a surge in ballot applications before last week's deadline and technical problems led to roughly 3,200 applications being processed late. The department sent these ballots through next-day mail or delivery, including prepaid express return envelopes.

"We appreciate that the court, the plaintiffs, and both political parties recognized the extraordinary efforts made by the Board of Elections and Registration to ensure that these ballots can be delivered quickly, returned, and counted," Board of Elections and Registration Chairwoman Tori Silas said in a statement.

"The agreement gives us a solution that helps ensure the voting rights of those affected and gives the public the assurance that all those who want to cast a ballot legally can do so," Silas added.

The Board of Elections was required to mail absentee ballots with prepaid express return envelopes by the end of the day on Nov. 1.

A Florida fire department responded Friday to a report of an odor at a library, which is also an early voting location.

The Seminole County Fire Department rushed to Seminole County Public Library at 215 North Oxford Road after receiving a hazmat call over an odor around the ballot box, WESH reported.

Officials investigated the library but said they found no evidence of chemical substances or hazards. Still, 14 workers at the library were evaluated out of caution.

One poll worker was transported to the hospital for hypertension, fire officials said.

Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump held competing rallies at the same time Friday night, and just a few miles apart in battleground Wisconsin's largest city.

With just four days until Election Day, the Democratic and Republican presidential nominees made their final stops in Wisconsin, where nearly all the latest public opinion polls indicate a margin-of-error race between the two candidates.

"We got four days to get this thing done. Four days. No one can sit on the sidelines," the vice president emphasized to her supporters. "For you who have not yet voted, no judgment, but please get to it when you can."

In order to carry Wisconsin, Harris needs to run up the score in Milwaukee and its surrounding suburbs in order to make up for the expected red-wave in the state's rural counties.

The Harris campaign said that over 12,000 packed into the Wisconsin State Fair Park Exposition Center, in West Allis, just yards outside the Milwaukee city limits.

Trump, holding court at Milwaukee's Fiserv Forum - the same arena where he accepted his party's presidential nomination during the Republican National Convention in July - told his supporters "I want your damn vote."

The rallies were Harris and Trump's final appearances in Wisconsin ahead of Election Day - and it was the second time this week that the major party nominees held rallies on the same day in Wisconsin.

The Democratic and Republican Parties' vice presidential nominees — Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Sen. JD Vance of Ohio, respectively — have also both crisscrossed Wisconsin, and major surrogates — including former Presidents Obama and Clinton for Harris — have parachuted into the Badger State. Obama returns on Sunday.

Vice President Harris said Friday that she is "not looking to score political points" and vowed to "listen to people who disagree with me."

"I pledge to seek common ground and common sense solutions to the challenges you face. I am not looking to score political points. I am looking to make progress," Harris said at a rally in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

"And I pledge to listen to those who will be impacted by the decisions I make," she continued. "I pledge to listen to experts, to listen to people who disagree with me. Because you see, unlike Donald Trump, I don't believe that people who disagree with me are the enemy. He wants to put them in jail, I'll give them a seat at the table."

"That's what real leadership is about," the vice president added. "That's what strong leadership is about. And I pledge to always put country above party and self, and to be a president for all Americans."

Vice President Harris said Friday that former President Trump is "increasingly unstable" and "obsessed with revenge" during a rally in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

"We know who Donald Trump is," Harris said. "This is not someone who is thinking about how to make your life better. This is someone who is increasingly unstable, obsessed with revenge. He is consumed with grievance and the man is out for unchecked power. And look, in less than 90 days and see you going to be him on me in the Oval Office."

"But let's get the word out, let's get the word out to the folks who are not here. Imagine, you know, we've all seen the Oval Office on TV. Imagine on January 20th, that day, it's either going to be Donald Trump if he is elected, which he will not be, which he will not be. But to help people imagine what the stakes are, it's either going to be him there on day one, walking into that office, stewing over his enemies list, or when I am elected, walking in on your behalf with my to-do list. And I'm a hard worker," she continued.

Rapper Cardi B said Friday that she initially was not planning to vote in next week's presidential election until Vice President Kamala Harris launched her campaign for the White House.

"I’m going to be real with y'all. I wasn't going to vote this year. I wasn't, but Kamala Harris joining the race, she changed my mind, completely," the singer said while stumping for Harris at a rally in West Allis, Wisconsin.

"I did not have faith on any candidate until she joined the race and said the things that I wanted to hear, that I want to see next in this country," she continued. "I believe in every word that comes out of her mouth. She's passionate, she's compassionate, she shows empathy."

Cardi B also said: "I can't stand a bully but just like Kamala I always stand up to one."

More than four million Georgia voters have cast ballots during the early voting period as both presidential candidates compete to secure the swing state.

Voters cast 289,327 votes cast early Friday, Gabriel Sterling, the chief operations officer for the Georgia secretary of state's office said on X.

“Incredible numbers and on track for overall record for pre-election voting,” he wrote.

Around 40% of voters in the state have cast ballots as of as of Oct. 28, Fox Atlanta reported. Sterling also urged voters to accept the election results, regardless of who wins.

“You're candidate may lose. This is a close race. You need to emotionally & mentally prepare for that possible outcome,” he wrote. “I've been voting in Presidential Elections since 1992. I've voted for the winner 3 times. Only once did my Primary choice make it to the White House. That is how it goes. You have to be prepared VP Harris supporters, Pres. Trump could win. I know it freaks you out.”

He told Trump supporters that Vice President Kamala Harris could win.

“It comes down to 7 states. And even then a handful of 1000s of votes in those states...just as it was in '16 & '20,” he said.

The Republican Party has a good chance of taking back control of the Senate while losing control of the House, said Sterling. However, voters can come back in four years and chose their preferred candidates, he noted.

“And you get a chance to fight for your values for President in 4 years (well really 2.5 including the Primaries)," he said. "The American Republic has endured for over 200 years. We will get through this election, regardless of outcome. I'm not saying it'll be easy. But its reality.”

Former President Trump on Friday clarified that he meant former Rep. Liz Cheney doesn’t have the "guts" to fight on the front lines of war after he received a backlash from Democrats over comments he made Thursday about having guns trained on her. 

"All I’m saying about Liz Cheney is that she is a War Hawk, and a dumb one at that, but she wouldn’t have ‘the guts’ to fight herself," the Republican presidential nominee wrote on Truth Social. "It’s easy for her to talk, sitting far from where the death scenes take place, but put a gun in her hand, and let her go fight, and she’ll say, ‘No thanks!’ Her father decimated the Middle East, and other places, and got rich by doing so. He’s caused plenty of DEATH, and probably never even gave it a thought. That’s not what we want running our Country!"

Trump caused controversy when he called Cheney a "radical war hawk" at an event in Arizona on Thursday, adding, "Let's put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her, OK? Let's see how she feels about it. You know, when the guns are trained on her face. They're all war hawks when they're sitting in Washington in a nice building saying, ‘Oh, gee, well, let's send 10,000 troops into the mouths of the enemies,’ but she’s a stupid person and I used to have meetings with a lot of people and she always wanted to go to war with people." 

Trump also told reporters at a campaign stop in Dearborn, Michigan, on Friday: "Even in my administration, she was pushing that we go to war with everybody, and I said if you ever gave her a rifle and let her do the fighting, if you ever do that, she wouldn't be doing too well, I will tell you right now. But she's a war hawk. She wants to go kill people unnecessarily. 

The remarks prompted accusations from liberals of violent rhetoric and that Trump was suggesting Cheney should face a firing squad. "

"He has increased his violent rhetoric about political opponents – Donald Trump has – and in great detail suggested rifles should be trained on former Rep. Liz Cheney," Vice President Harris told reporters in a presser Friday. "This must be disqualifying. Anyone who wants to be President of the United States who uses that kind of violent rhetoric is clearly disqualified and unqualified to be president."

Cheney, a Republican, endorsed Harris for president in September and has been campaigning with the Democratic nominee.

The Justice Department will monitor polls in 27 states to ensure compliance with federal voting rights laws.

The agency said it will monitor compliance in 86 jurisdictions across the 27 states for the Nov. 5 election.

“The department regularly deploys its staff to monitor for compliance with federal civil rights laws in elections in communities all across the country,” the agency said Friday in a news release.

Monitors will include personnel from the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division, among others, U.S. Attorney’s Offices and federal observers from the Office of Personnel Management.

Division personnel will maintain contact with state and local election officials throughout the election, the DOJ said.

Washington state Gov. Jay Inslee is activating the state's National Guard, directing personnel to make preparations in case they need to respond to “civil unrest” related to the election.

In a letter to Maj. Gen. Gent Welsh, the adjutant general of the Washington Military Department, Inslee said that warnings by the Department of Homeland Security that threats to election infrastructure “remain high.”

The Guard will be activated for four days beginning Monday.

“Our state depends on these skilled individuals for critical support to protect the public health, safety and welfare, to include support necessary to protect vital infrastructure related to carrying free and fair elections and to respond to any unrest related to the 2024 general election,” Inslee wrote.

The governor also cited an incident in Vancouver where an incendiary device was set off at a drop box, damaging or destroying hundreds of ballots. A similar divide also targeted a drop box in Portland as well, he said.

Pennsylvania’s election is likely to go down to the wire Tuesday, meaning support from the commonwealth’s sizable, yet traditionally private Amish community might just make a difference.

The Amish-Mennonite community has long been a reliably conservative group, given its devout faith, humility and reluctance to engage with aspects of contemporary societal norms such as driving cars and using cellphones.

Rep. Lloyd Smucker, R-Pa., the first Amish-born member of Congress, said he's seeing a real change lately.

"You have a minority of the Amish who are now farming and agricultural. They ran out of land in Lancaster County a long time ago. So, there's a new generation of Amish who are business owners," he said.

"So, they're becoming much more engaged politically than their parents were."

A report from Elizabethtown College estimated 90,000 Amish live in Pennsylvania and 84,000 live in Ohio, in addition to sizeable populations in Indiana, Wisconsin, New York and Missouri.

Smucker said there were 1,500-2,000 new voter registrants in his district who are Amish, adding he expects thousands more to cast ballots this cycle.

Two former presidents — George W. Bush and Donald Trump — actively canvassed the community, which by and large doesn’t vote due to customs surrounding privacy.

Bush visited Smoketown during the 2004 campaign, meeting with Amish leaders without photographers out of respect of religious customs.

The Supreme Court on Friday upheld a state court ruling that allowed for the counting of certain provisional ballots, in a major setback for the state GOP and Republican National Committee just four days before the election.

The Republican National Committee and the state GOP filed an emergency appeal to the nation's top court last week seeking to temporarily halt a Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruling that ordered the state to count voters whose provisional ballots had been incorrectly filled out or were missing an inner "secrecy" envelope. 

Attorneys for the Republican Party urged the Supreme Court to grant a full stay of the state’s decision, writing in a final reply brief submitted Thursday evening that such an order would "prevent multiple forms" of "irreparable harm" to the state. 

At a minimum, the court was urged to grant a "segregation order" to allow the ballots to be set aside and counted separately. 

"The actual provisional ballots contain no identifying information, only a vote," the GOP's lawyers wrote. "Once ballots are separated from their outer envelopes, there is no way to retroactively figure out which ballots were illegally cast. In other words, once the egg is scrambled, it cannot be unscrambled."

House Republicans are demanding the White House release an accurate transcript of President Biden's remarks about supporters of former President Trump that some believe were altered.

In a letter to Edward Siskel, the assistant to the president and White House counsel, U.S. Reps. James Comer of Kentucky, the Chairman of the House Oversight Committee, and Elise Stefanik of New York said Biden referred to an “enormous swath of the country as ‘floating . . . garbage.’”

“To date, the White House has not issued a corrected transcript, and the false transcript remains on the White House webpage,” the letter states. “The White House cannot simply rewrite President Biden’s rhetoric. In this case, it appears the White House is doing so to safeguard Vice President Harris’s presidential campaign.”

On the call with Voto Latino, Biden was asked about Trump’s rally at Madison Square Garden, where comedian Tony Hinchcliffe’s joke about Puerto Rico being a "floating island of garbage."

“And just the other day, a speaker at his rally called Puerto Rico a ‘floating island of garbage.' Well, let me tell you something…in my home state of Delaware, they're good, decent, honorable people. The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters – his demonization of Latinos is unconscionable, and it's un-American. It's totally contrary to everything we've done, everything we've been.”

Biden later clarified that he was referring to Hinchcliffe, not Trump's supporters.

Critics said the transcript of the call appeared to alter the comment, which has caused a firestorm in the finals days of a hotly contested presidential race.

“Most notably, the report reveals the change in protocol came after the White House Press Office ‘conferred with the President.’ That President Biden himself may have interfered to break protocol to hide his outrageous remarks is unprecedented,” the letter said.

“We question whether the White House’s decision to create a false transcript and manipulate or alter the accurate transcript that was produced to NARA may be in violation of federal law, including the Presidential Records Act of 1978,” the letter said, referring to the National Archives and Records Administration, the independent agency charged with preserving and documenting historical records. 

Former President Donald Trump called on Muslims-Americans in Michigan to get out and vote.

“I am the candidate of peace,” Trump said during a rally in Warren, Michigan on Friday. “I need every Muslim-American in Michigan to get the hell out and vote please.”

The comments come after Trump made a surprise stop in Dearborn, Michigan earlier Friday, where he made an appeal to Muslim voters who have grown increasingly upset with the Biden administration’s handling of the conflict in Gaza. Those struggles have carried over to Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign despite appeals to Michigan’s Muslim community.

Trump made a stop at the popular The Great Commoner, where he was honored with a plaque "on behalf of all peace-loving Michiganders."

Trump has been courting the Muslim vote in Dearborn, a suburb of Detroit that has the largest per capita Muslim population in the United States.

“I know many people from Lebanon. We have to get this whole thing over with," Trump told supporters. "We want to have peace. We want to have peace on Earth. All over.”

Multiple campaign calls that were scheduled with President Biden for Thursday were canceled, Fox News has learned, as the White House is still facing fallout of his remarks about supporters of former President Trump earlier this week.

Organizations that expected Biden's attendance did not immediately respond to inquiries about whether the Zoom calls still happened as scheduled, without the president.

None of the calls were officially affiliated with the Harris-Walz campaign. Biden has no official campaign events scheduled ahead of the election, as he still faces the backlash from his "garbage" remark on a virtual call with Voto Latino, which was also not directly tied to the campaign.

Fox News has reached out to the White House.

On the call, Biden was asked about Trump’s rally at Madison Square Garden, where comedian Tony Hinchcliffe’s joke about Puerto Rico being a "floating island of garbage."

“Donald Trump has no character. He doesn't give a damn about the Latino community,” Biden said on the call. "He's a failed businessman. He only cares about the billionaire friends that he has and accumulating wealth for those at the top."

“And just the other day, a speaker at his rally called Puerto Rico a ‘floating island of garbage.' Well, let me tell you something…in my home state of Delaware, they're good, decent, honorable people. The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters – his demonization of Latinos is unconscionable, and it's un-American. It's totally contrary to everything we've done, everything we've been.”

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Wednesday that Biden was referring to Hinchcliffe’s joke.

"He does not view Trump supporters or anybody who supports Trump as garbage. That is not what he views," she said. 

Arizona's top prosecutor is investigating remarks by former President Trump that criticized Liz Cheney, according to reports.

State Attorney General Kris Mayes told she wanted to determine where Trump violated state law by making a "death threat" against Cheney, a former Wyoming GOP congresswoman, at an event in the Phoenix suburb of Glendale, 12 News reported.

"I have already asked my criminal division chief to start looking at that statement, analyzing it for whether it qualifies as a death threat under Arizona's laws," said Mayes, during Friday's taping of the station's "Sunday Square Off" show.

"I'm not prepared now to say whether it was or it wasn't, but it is not helpful as we prepare for our election and as we try to make sure that we keep the peace at our polling places and in our state."

Trump was being interviewed by Tucker Carlson when he criticized Cheney.

"She's a radical war hawk. Let's put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her, OK? Let's see how she feels about it, you know, when the guns are trained on her face."

The "nine barrels" comment has been interpreted as suggesting Cheney could face a firing squad.

"This is how dictators destroy free nations," Cheney said Friday in a statement on social media. "They threaten those who speak against them with death. We cannot entrust our country and our freedom to a petty, vindictive, cruel, unstable man who wants to be a tyrant."

Trump campaign spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt responded: "This is just a desperate attempt to help out Kamala Harris’ failing campaign.”

President Biden visited Sprinkler Fitters Local 692 Hall in Northeast Philadelphia on Friday, where he awarded the widow of an Ohio labor leader the Citizens Medal.

Biden spoke at length about how he passed the Butch Lewis Act as part of the American Rescue Plan.

Lewis, an Ohio Teamster, helped organize workers and retirees to counteract 2014 cuts to their benefits, later dying from a stroke in 2015 under the stress of the situation.

The president was introduced by a shop steward from a Bryn Mawr, Pa., grocery store and a Teamster from Pittsburgh, who called him the “best friend” labor ever had in the White House.

“The reason this country is working and the middle class is growing is because the middle class built this country and unions built the middle class.”

At one point, Biden went on a riff about visiting Ireland and researching his genealogy.

He gestured toward Rep. Mary Gay Scanlon, a Democrat representing Delaware County and South Philly and told her he found out: “we’re related.”

Returning to the subject at hand, Biden said that when he was in the Senate, he was consistently rated the “poorest man in Congress,” and therefore understood the plight of working families.

He spoke of his father, Joseph Biden Sr., losing his pension when the younger Joe was a youth.

“I never thought of myself as poor … I just came from a middle class family,” he said.

He went on to contrast his record with unions with that of former President Trump, however never by name.

“Wall Street did not build this country,” he added. “They’re not bad guys – but the middle class built this country."

Biden said “Infrastructure Week” was every week under Trump, but he “didn’t do a damn thing” in that realm in reality.

Before leaving the stage, he awarded Lewis’ widow Rita the medal.  

CNN senior data reporter Harry Enten admitted on Friday that he has no clear indicator showing who will win the presidential election next week.

Enten, who recently did segments breaking down the signs indicating a win for former President Trump and signs indicating a win for Vice President Kamala Harris, said he’s stumped as he’s found no real data showing whose win is more likely.

"But the bottom line is this: This has been a historically tight race, it continues to be a historically tight race, and I really have no real concept of who is going to win on Tuesday," Enten declared during "CNN News Central."

The reporter started the segment by breaking down his current polling numbers in the seven battleground states, five of them showing Trump in the lead, but only slightly. The largest lead Trump had was in Arizona at +3, while in Pennsylvania he is up less than one point. 

"Again, it’s so, so tight," Enten said of the race in Pennsylvania.2

The numbers showed Harris leading by less than a point in Wisconsin, up by one in Michigan and both candidates tied in Nevada. Joe Biden won all those states, as well as Georgia, Arizona and Pennsylvania, in 2020.

Still, Enten declared it was too close to call and jokingly asked the viewers to help him if they had any leads on who’s going to take the race.

Amused, CNN anchor Sara Sidner replied, "Don’t believe it, Harry. I don’t think anybody knows."

Former President Trump met with Arab Americans in the battleground state of Michigan on Friday, saying he wants to end the conflict in the Middle East.

Trump was stopped in The Great Commoner, a boutique cafe in Dearborn, the largest city with a majority Arab population, where he was warmly greeted by supporters and honored with a plaque "on behalf of all peace-loving Michiganders."

Albert Abbas, the brother of the cafe owner, said the Biden administration “has failed miserably in all aspects of humanity" while endorsing Trump.

Trump touched on the war between Israel and Hezbollah, the Iran-backed terror group that has been shelling the Jewish state from its base in Lebanon. Israel has conducted military operations in Lebanon against Hezbollah targets.

“I know many people from Lebanon We have to get this whole thing over with," Trump said. "We want to have peace. We want to have peace on Earth. All over.”

Former Republican New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie blasted Vice President Kamala Harris surrogate Mark Cuban for his "really stupid" remark on Thursday about women who associate with former President Trump.

"Look, Cuban has a history of saying really stupid stuff. Mark doesn’t think before he talks," Christie told the co-hosts of "The View" on Friday.

The billionaire "Shark Tank" investor told the hosts of "The View" the day before "You never see [Trump] around strong, intelligent women ever." 

Cuban later walked back the remark, but the off-the-cuff comment only added to the outrage over President Biden's apparent insult of Trump supporters as "garbage" earlier in the week, which the White House denies.

Christie was asked if the derogatory comments about Trump supporters from Harris surrogates would hurt her campaign in the final days of the race.

"I think the surrogates have minimal value in these last few days on both sides. I don’t think anybody really cares what Lindsey Graham thinks on the Republican side or, you know, what Mark Cuban thinks," Christie first responded before blasting Cuban's remark as "really stupid" and careless.

The co-hosts of "The View" immediately defended Cuban, with Joy Behar pointing to the businessman's financial success and Sunny Hostin hailing Cuban as "smart."

"He is, but he says stupid things because he doesn't think before he talks," Christie responded.

Former President Trump defended his remarks about Liz Cheney when he criticized Thursday night her for pushing for war.

"Even in my administration, she was pushing that we go to war with everybody," Trump said on the campaign trial in Dearborn, Michigan, on Friday. “And I said if you ever gave her a rifle and let her do the fighting, if you ever do that, she wouldn't be doing too well.”

“She's a war hawk," he added. She wants to go kill people unnecessarily and if she had to do it herself and she had to face the consequences of battle, she wouldn't be doing it. So it's easy for her to talk but she wouldn't be doing it. She's actually a disgrace."

Trump mentioned Cheney at an event with Tucker Carlson in Arizona on Thursday night.

"She's a radical war hawk," Trump said of Cheney and her father, former Vice President Dick Cheney. "Let's put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her, okay?" Trump said. "Let's see how she feels about it, you know, when the guns are trained on her face."

In response, Cheney wrote on X that: "This is how dictators destroy free nations. They threaten those who speak against them with death," Cheney posted Friday on X. "We cannot entrust our country and our freedom to a petty, vindictive, cruel, unstable man who wants to be a tyrant."

Vice President Kamala Harris scolded former President Trump over comments he made while attacking Liz Cheney, saying the remarks should be “disqualifying.”

“He has increased his violent rhetoric, Donald Trump has, about political opponents and in great detail suggested rifles should be trained on former Rep. Liz Cheney,” Harris said. “This must be disqualifying."

"Any one who wants to be president of the United States who uses that kind of violent rhetoric is cleared disqualified and unqualified to be president,” she added.

Cheney, a Republican and vocal critic of Trump, has endorsed Harris in the 2024 election. She has cast him as a danger to democracy.

Trump mentioned Cheney at an event with Tucker Carlson in Arizona on Thursday night.

"She's a radical war hawk," Trump said of the former Wyoming congresswoman while also mentioning her father, former Vice President Dick Cheney. "Let's put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her, okay?" Trump said. "Let's see how she feels about it, you know, when the guns are trained on her face."

Trump was criticizing Cheney was a "war hawk" as someone who pushes for conflict while while far from a battlefield in Washington.

In response, Cheney wrote on X that: "This is how dictators destroy free nations. They threaten those who speak against them with death," Cheney posted Friday on X. "We cannot entrust our country and our freedom to a petty, vindictive, cruel, unstable man who wants to be a tyrant."

Minnesota Gov. Time Walz said Friday during a campaign event in Detroit that the “only thing [Trump] knows how to manufacture is bulls---.” 

“So to those undecided folks, the only thing Donald Trump knows about working people and middle class people is how to take advantage of them,” Walz said. “That's his entire set of knowledge that he has. And he talks about this -- he talks about manufacturing. The only thing he knows how to manufacture is bulls---. And he's continued to do it. His presidency was an endless string of broken promises.” 

“He encouraged automakers to move out of states like Michigan and move to anti-union states so they can save money and pay their workers less," Walz continued. “He should probably have been able to figure this out -- there's a reason that unions across Michigan, from the Teamsters to the laborers to the operating engineers to UAW, have endorsed Kamala Harris for president.” 

“There is one antidote to this, and it's the best one. Go out and vote for Kamala Harris,” Walz said. 

Federal officials say “Russian influence actors” are behind a recent video that “falsely depicted individuals claiming to be from Haiti and voting illegally in multiple counties in Georgia.” 

“This judgment is based on information available to the intelligence community and prior activities of other Russian influence actors, including videos and other disinformation activities,” according to a joint statement from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. “The Georgia Secretary of State has already refuted the video’s claims as false.” 

“Russian influence actors also manufactured a video falsely accusing an individual associated with the Democratic presidential ticket of taking a bribe from a U.S. entertainer,” the statement continued. 

“This Russian activity is part of Moscow’s broader effort to raise unfounded questions about the integrity of the US election and stoke divisions among Americans, as detailed in prior ODNI election updates,” the officials also said. “In the lead up to election day and in the weeks and months after, the IC expects Russia to create and release additional media content that seeks to undermine trust in the integrity of the election and divide Americans.”

JD Vance said Friday that Vice President Kamala Harris “hasn't done a damn thing” for workers in the battleground state of Michigan. 

Vance, speaking at a campaign event in Portage, a city outside Kalamazoo, said, “I wish that Mark Cuban and Kamala Harris and their entire campaign stopped insulting the people they disagreed with and maybe talked about Kamala Harris's record a little bit. But the reason I think they've decided to insult people is because they don't have a record to run on. 

“Look, Kamala Harris, you don't have to guess at what she's going to do. You don't have to listen to her slogans. You don't have to listen to her dishonest rhetoric. You just have to look at what Kamala Harris has done for the last three and a half years,” Vance continued. 

“And the answer, is if you're a Michigan worker, the answer is if you're a Michigan auto worker, the answer if you're a Michigan parent, she hasn't done a damn thing for you. And that's not going to change if we give her a promotion to the Oval Office,” he added.  

Vice President Kamala Harris is leading former President Donald Trump 51-41% in Virginia, according to a new Roanoke College poll released Friday. 

The poll of 851 likely voters was taken from Oct. 25-29 and has a margin of error of 4.6%. 

Its release comes as Trump is holding a rally Saturday in Salem, Va., in the conservative southwestern corner of the commonwealth. 

"We have a really good chance to win Virginia – hasn’t been won in decades by a [GOP] presidential candidate," Trump had told Virginia Republicans in a September tele-rally.

Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign released a new ad Friday showing her sitting next to Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, who once was speculated to be her leading choice for running mate. 

“This election, it's bigger than us. It's about the future. Do you want more chaos or, like me, are you ready for some common sense? That’s why I’m with Kamala, I’ve known her for two decades, she’s practical and she gets stuff done,” Shapiro says in the video. 

“As president, I will chart a new way forward and find solutions to create jobs and bring down costs. I will fight for you and your family every day,” Harris then adds. 

Harris ultimately went with Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate. 

Multimedia mogul Charlamagne Tha God insisted earlier this week that Harris should have picked Shapiro to be her running mate on the Democratic ticket instead of Walz, whom he suggested wasn't ready for primetime.

With four days to go before Election Day, former President Donald Trump's campaign quickly took aim at Vice President Kamala Harris over the latest unemployment figures from the federal government, which indicated only 12,000 jobs were created in October.

The jobs created last month were far below estimates of up to 120,000 and were the lowest in four years. 

Fueling the nosedive were disruptions from devastating Hurricanes Helene and Milton, the crippling Boeing strike and other labor disputes.

However, regardless of the contributing factors, the figures offered the Trump campaign instant ammunition to fire at Harris, as two major party presidential nominees remain locked in a margin-of-error race in both the national polls and surveys in the crucial seven battleground states that will likely determine the White House winner.

"BRUTAL," was the instant reaction from the Trump campaign on social media, as it promoted clips of coverage of the jobs report from the cable news and business networks' morning shows.

Minutes later, Trump campaign national press secretary Karoline Leavitt argued that "this jobs report is a catastrophe and definitively reveals how badly Kamala Harris broke our economy."

Jobs – up until now – have been a shining bright spot for the Biden-Harris administration, amid overall dismal public opinion ratings on the economy as the cumulative effort of inflation continues to weigh down on many Americans.

President Biden, whom Harris replaced in July atop the Democrats' 2024 national ticket, emphasized in a statement minutes after the Labor Department report on the jobs numbers that "unemployment was unchanged at 4.1%."

A Pennsylvania prosecutor is investigating roughly 30 voter registration applications and mail-in ballot applications that were identified as "fraudulent" – including several that officials linked to an Arizona-based group that is working in the county.

The registration forms were spotted by the county’s board of elections officials, who then separated the forms and referred the matter for further investigation, Monroe County District Attorney Mike Mancuso said in a statement.

At least some of the forms were submitted by "Field and Media Corps," an apparent subsidiary of Fieldcorp, an Arizona-based organization working in Lancaster County, according to Mancuso.

"The broader investigation continues with reference to Fieldcorp’s involvement," he said. 

Mancuso urged residents to remain calm, noting that his office "is in regular contact and working with investigators from the Attorney General’s Office as well as others."

Ohio congressional candidate Derek Merrin told “Fox & Friends First” on Friday that he is “very confident” about flipping the 9th District seat held by Marcy Kaptur since 1983. 

Merrin described the Democrat as “one of the most liberal, ineffective members of Congress in the last 40 years.” 

“We have President Trump’s support and we are very confident we are going to flip this seat, help to expand the Republican majority in the U.S. house so we can deliver for the American people to lower the cost of living, to secure our borders and to take on the political class that has let down our country,” he added. 

“If you look at the cost of groceries, energy, insurance, people want change,” Merrin also said. 

Liberal media outlets have been accused of taking former President Trump out of context to claim he was calling for violence against former House Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., when he was actually mocking her as someone who pushes for war from the comforts of Washington, D.C. 

Drudge Report’s frontpage headline on Friday morning declared in red font with all caps, "TRUMP CALLS FOR CHENEY’S EXECUTION," and linked to a social media post from far-left commentator Aaron Rupar that showed a partial clip from the former president’s Glendale, Arizona event on Thursday. 

"I don’t blame him for sticking with his daughter, but his daughter is a very dumb individual. Very dumb, she’s a radical war hawk. Let's put her with a rifle standing there with 9 barrels shooting at her, OK? Let's see how she feels about it. You know, when the guns are trained on her face," Trump is heard saying in the clip that set the tone for MSNBC and CNN’s Friday morning programming. 

But many felt it was purposely cut off before Trump’s anti-war message and Fox News contributor Mollie Hemingway quickly responded to Rupar’s clip. 

"Wow, I’m so shocked that propagandist Rupar cut it off before this line: ‘They're all war hawks when they're sitting in Washington in a nice building saying ‘Oh gee, let's send 10,000 troops into the mouths of the enemies.' She always wanted to go to war with people,’" Hemingway wrote. 

Indeed, Trump’s comments following the brief clip shared by Rupar was cut off before the former president finished his thought. 

"She’s a radical war hawk. Let's put her with a rifle standing there with 9 barrels shooting at her, OK? Let's see how she feels about it. You know, when the guns are trained on her face. They're all war hawks when they're sitting in Washington in a nice building saying, ‘Oh gee, well let's send 10,000 troops into the mouths of the enemies,’ but she’s a stupid person and I used to have meetings with a lot of people and she always wanted to go to war with people," Trump said. 

JD Vance declared Friday that “I am 100 percent sure we have the electorate we need to win” following the release of a series of polls showing Vice President Kamala Harris taking a narrow lead over former President Donald Trump in the "blue wall" states. 

Marist polls of battlegrounds Michigan and Pennsylvania released on Friday have the Democratic vice president ahead of her Republican rival by two points in each state, 50% to 48%. A third poll of Wisconsin voters shows Harris with a three percentage point lead, 51-48%. 

“In 2022, Marist had my Ohio Senate race tied. I won by more than 6,” Vance wrote on X. 

“Stop worrying about polls and go get people to the polls. I am 100 percent sure we have the electorate we need to win. What we need is to work hard over the next 4 days,” he added.

U.S. job growth slowed down in October, coming in well short of economists' expectations, while the unemployment rate was unchanged. 

The Labor Department on Friday reported that employers added 12,000 jobs in October, well below the 113,000 gain that was predicted by LSEG economists.

The unemployment rate was 4.1%, in line with expectations.

The number of jobs added in the prior two months were both revised downward, with job creation in August revised down by 81,000 from a gain of 159,000 to 78,000, while September was revised down by 31,000 from a gain of 254,000 to 223,000.

The manufacturing sector saw employment decline by 46,000 jobs in October, which the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) noted was largely due to strike activity in the transportation equipment manufacturing sector. About 33,000 unionized machinists at Boeing have been on strike since early September.

Trump 2024 national press secretary Karoline Leavitt told “Fox & Friends First” on Friday that billionaire Mark Cuban has “learned the hard way not to mess with strong and intelligent Republican women who support Donald Trump. 

“There was an epic amount of backlash from so many amazing women who have worked with President Trump, who are voting for him, saying this is extremely insulting.” 

“Just look at the women that President Trump surrounds himself with – first of all his beautiful wife Melania, which of the five languages that she speaks would Mark Cuban like to have a conversation about him with, on this?” Leavitt said. “Look at the woman who runs our campaign, Susie Wiles, the woman who is running the transition back to the White House, Linda McMahon, or the woman who President Trump tapped to run the RNC, Lara Trump.” 

“This was a ridiculous insult not just to the women who work for President Trump but the tens of millions of them who are going to be voting for him,” she also said. “But this is what the Kamala Harris campaign has resulted in.” 

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp told “Fox & Friends” on Friday that “I believe the enthusiasm and energy is more on our side than theirs right now, at least in Georgia.” 

Georgia is one of several battleground states heading into Election Day. More than 3.6 million ballots have already been cast there. 

“I’m going to work hard between now and Tuesday to get the vote out,” Kemp said. “We got to win, not only at the top of the ticket but all the way down. Our legislative majorities are at risk in the Georgia statehouse. We have got to help at-risk legislators, we got to have a big turnout.” 

Energy advocates are knocking Vice President Kamala Harris for bringing on a top campaign adviser with ties to a controversial environmental group behind the effort to ban gas stoves.

O.H. Skinner, executive director of the nonprofit Alliance for Consumers, told Fox News Digital that "this is sadly par for the course."

"For years the left has been focused on assaulting consumers and the things in their homes. That has included a litany of Biden-Harris regulations and mandates," he said. "From ‘green’ regulations on dishwashers and washing machines to EV mandates and bans on gas stoves, a Harris-Walz administration will no doubt continue to eviscerate consumer choice and force Americans to pay more for everyday products and household appliances that do a worse job."

However, conservatives are knocking her for hiring Camila Thorndike, who previously worked for the dark money climate activist group Rewiring America as the campaign’s "climate engagement director." Before joining the campaign in September, Updike worked in multiple positions at Rewiring America between late 2022 and last month, according to her Legistorm profile. 

Rewiring America is an environmental advocacy group that made headlines in 2022 for its push to ban gas stoves.

The group does not file federal tax forms since it is sponsored by the Windward Fund, a nonprofit that is part of the billion-dollar dark money network managed by the Washington, D.C.-based Arabella Advisors.

A new poll released Friday shows Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump are tied in the battleground state of Pennsylvania. 

The USA Today/Suffolk poll indicates that both candidates have 49% support among likely voters in the Keystone State. 

The survey of 500 likely voters was conducted between Oct. 27-30, with a margin of error of 4.4%. 

Biden won Pennsylvania in 2020 by 1.17% of the vote.  

Trump won the state by an even smaller margin against Hillary Clinton in 2016. 

With just four days to go until Election Day, Republican lawmakers are demanding answers from the Pentagon after receiving complaints about inadequate resources to help military service members vote. 

Active duty service members claim the Pentagon has not allocated enough resources to let them cast their ballot on time and that the stockpile of write-in absentee ballots on at least one military base is depleted and has not been replenished, according to three GOP congressmen. 

Rep. Brian Mast, R-Mich., Rep. Bill Huizenga, R-Mich. and Mike Walz, R-Fla., penned a letter to Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin on Wednesday, writing "with grave concern" about "deficiencies in the Defense Department’s protocols," which also includes not making service members aware of their options on how to vote.

"Our nation’s brave men and women in uniform brought to our attention that there has been inadequate education at the administrative level on how to register to vote, request an absentee ballot, and fill in a federal write-in absentee ballot if their state-issued ballot does not arrive in time," the lawmakers write.

"Other service members also stated that when a request for a federal write-in absentee ballot was made, they were told the base’s stockpile of such ballots was depleted and had not been replenished."

The lawmakers say it is imperative that the Pentagon does everything in its power so the nation’s "elite warriors" have every opportunity to vote and that the Department of Defense (DOD) "mobilize all the necessary resources over the next seven days" so that military personnel are given that opportunity.

A slew of new polls show Vice President Kamala Harris taking a narrow lead over former President Trump in the “blue wall” states many forecasters say she needs to win to clinch the presidency.

Marist polls of battlegrounds Michigan and Pennsylvania released Friday have the Democratic vice president ahead of her Republican rival by two points in each state, 50 percent to 48 percent. A third poll of Wisconsin voters shows Harris with a three percentage point lead, 51-48 percent.

All these results are within the Marist polls' margins of error, plus or minus 3.4 points for the Michigan and Pennsylvania polls and plus or minus 3.5 points for the Wisconsin survey. The surveys were conducted between Oct. 27-30.

The numbers point towards another historically close election next Tuesday following the 2020 cycle, when just 44,000 votes spread across key battleground states handed President Biden the Electoral College votes he needed to unseat Trump. Similarly, in 2016, Trump captured the White House by just under 78,000 votes in the three “blue wall” states.

A Florida Trump supporter says he is being fined daily by local authorities for placing giant banners of Donald Trump outside his home in Walton County. 

Marvin Peavy tells Fox News “they are going to stay up because I am fighting [for] my First Amendment right.” 

“Walton County has tried to come in and say their rights are better than my First Amendment right and they cannot supersede my First Amendment right,” he added. “I’ve hung probably ten to twelve different signs.” 

“It’s been an expensive fight, but I keep fighting and I’ve had people offering to pay but I tell them ‘I’ve got it,” Peavy also said. 

If there’s one image that captures the craziness of this campaign, it’s got to be Donald Trump driving around in a garbage truck.

He put on the orange vest and talked to reporters after a Joe Biden blunder put Kamala Harris on the defensive.

And this was after a Trump rally filled with profane insults, including a comic who mocked Puerto Rico as an island of floating garbage.

In this supercharged environment, every mistake counts.

Trump, speaking about criminals who cross the border illegally, said "I told women I will be their protector. They [his advisers] said, ‘Sir, please don’t say that.’ Well, I’m going to do it whether the women like it or not." 

That has an unfortunate ring to it, and Harris said yesterday it is "very offensive to women," including on controlling "their own bodies."

All of which brings us back to the last few days. When every hour counts, every distraction is costly. If you’re explaining, you’re losing. If you’re playing defense, you can’t put points on the board.

President Biden returns to the campaign trail this weekend with stops in the biggest of the battleground states, his native Pennsylvania.

The White House confirmed the president will campaign on behalf of Vice President Kamala Harris and down-ballot Democrats when he makes stops Friday in Philadelphia and Saturday in Scranton, where the 81-year-old Biden was born and spent his early childhood years.

But Harris, who with four days until Election Day remains locked in a tight showdown with former President Trump in the race to succeed Biden in the White House, won't be joining her boss on the campaign trail.

The vice president has kept her distance from Biden, who, according to polls, remains deeply unpopular with Americans, and her campaign quietly views him as a liability. And that was before the president made two glaring remarks the past two weeks that quickly went viral.

While Harris has noted the policy successes of the Biden/Harris administration the past four years while campaigning, she's emphasized that she'll be an agent of change in the White House.

Giving her closing address Tuesday night at the Ellipse, just yards from the White House, where the president was huddled, Harris emphasized, "I have been honored to serve as Joe Biden’s vice president, but I will bring my own experiences and ideas to the Oval Office."

It's been nearly two months since the one-time running mates teamed up on the campaign trail. You have to go back to Labor Day, when they joined forces at a union event in Pittsburgh.

Former President Donald Trump will hold a campaign rally later this afternoon in Warren, Mich. -- a city outside of Detroit. 

He then will head to Wisconsin to host a second event in Milwaukee.

Vice President Kamala Harris will also be in Wisconsin Friday holding a rally at a high school in Little Chute, which is located near the city of Appleton. 

With less than a week until Election Day, the final Fox News Poll of Michigan likely voters found Harris up 2 points over Trump on the expanded ballot. 

A USA TODAY/Suffolk University poll released Monday found Trump and Harris neck and neck in Wisconsin, 48% to 47%, respectively, from a statewide poll of 500 likely voters. 

Fox News’ Victoria Balara and Stephen Sorace contributed to this report. 

Billionaire Mark Cuban apologized on X early Friday morning if female Trump supporters felt "slighted or upset" when he claimed "you never see [Trump] around strong, intelligent women, ever" during an appearance on "The View."

"When I said this during the interview, I didn't get it out exactly the way I thought I did. So I apologize to anyone who felt slighted or upset by my response. As I said, it wasn't about Trump voters, supporters or employees. Current or former," Cuban wrote.

He said he set himself up "for the 6 sec soundbite," offered "no excuses" and said his "skin is thick enough."

Hours before issuing the flat-out apology, Cuban tried to "clarify" his comment that was seen widely as an insult to women who support and/or work with Trump.

"This is what I said during a conversation about why Nikki Haley was not active in his campaign. 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. I know he has worked with strong, intelligent women, like Elaine Chao, Kelly Anne, Ivanka and many others," Cuban added. "I stand by my opinion that he does not like being challenged publicly."
