Trump addresses Latino voters in town hall as Harris has fiery exchange during Fox News interview: live

X owner and Trump backer Elon Musk is set to host a town hall in Pennsylvania and Thursday with America PAC, his group backing the former president.

Musk said there is no cost to attend his event, but “you need have voted in Pennsylvania.”

The event is set for 4 p.m in Folsom, Pennsylvania. The PAC’s website lists future events in Pittsburgh and Harrisburg, but no dates were given.

“Musk will be speaking to Pennsylvanians to promote absentee voting and early voting, as well as voter registration in the Commonwealth,” the group stated

Former Lt. Governor of George Geoff Duncan said Harris did ‘extremely well’ in her interview with Fox News. Duncan made his comments on CNN moments after the interview ended.

“She dove into the deep end of the pool,” Duncan said. “She answered the questions on message.”

He said Harris is trying to reach out to Republicans who were going to sit at home and not vote. Ducan added the goal was to get them to vote for a liberal instead of a person who constantly lies to them.

Harris attacked Donald Trump throughout her interview with Fox News. At one point, she noted that he has spent $20 million on ads to create fear among voters.

The vice president added, “he actually has no plan in this election that is about focusing on the needs of the American people.”

During her Fox interview, Harris backed Joe Biden and his mental fitness. She said she has watched him in the White House and that he has the judgment and experience to make decisions.

The discussion then got heated as Harris mentioned Biden is not on the ballot and instead began to attack Trump.

Vice President Kamala Harris leads former President Donald Trump by 48 per cent to 45 per cent among registered voters in the latest Economist/YouGov poll, little changed from recent weeks.

Harris leads by four points among likely voters — those who either have voted, say they definitely will vote, or both say they will probably vote and also have voted in either 2020 or 2022.

Nearly all supporters of Harris (97 per cent) and Trump (98 per cent) believe their minds will not change before election day.

Slightly more registered voters say they think Harris will win than say they think Trump will (41 per cent to 37 per cent).

About two-thirds of both Democrats and Republicans say they are very or extremely enthusiastic about voting for president.

Harris leads by 51 per cent to 47 per cent among registered voters choosing only between her and Trump; two per cent say they prefer both equally.

Among likely voters, Harris leads among college graduates, women, and Black and Hispanic Americans; Trump leads among non-college graduates, men, and white Americans.

The poll was conducted between October 12-15, 2024 and 1,624 US adult citizens were surveyed.

Dana Perino recognized that the vice president was “fairly effective” in going after Donald Trump in the eagerly-anticipated interview.

Donald Trump has refused to admit he falsely accused Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio of eating peoples’ pets as he doubled down on his statements during a Univision town hall with undecided Latino voters on Wednesday despite heaps of reporting that debunked his claims.

The former president was asked by a Spanish-speaking audience member whether he actually believed what he said. He responded by saying that he was “just saying what was reported.”

“This was just reported. I was just saying what was reported, that’s been reported, and eating other things, too, that they’re not supposed to be,” Trump responded.
