Election polls recap: Trump ridicules Kamala Harris for ‘hot mic’ slip at his Atlanta rally

Donald Trump ridiculed Kamala Harris and denied being a Nazi during a rally in Atlanta, Georgia, Monday evening with just eight days to the election.

‘I’m not a Nazi. I’m the opposite of a Nazi,’ Trump told thousands of supporters at Georgia Tech.

He highlighted an embarrassing ‘hot mic’ moment for the vice president from over the weekend where she was caught on camera, unknowingly admitting to Gov. Gretchen Whitmer that her campaign is struggling with male voters.

Meanwhile, Harris was in Ann Arbor, Michigan, to make her plea to voters there. She was joined by music star Maggie Rogers.

Trump holds the momentum over Kamala Harris in the polls in the days leading to what is shaping up to be one of the closest elections in history.

The former president took the lead in the Real Clear Politics polling average on Monday morning for the first time, with a razor-thin 0.1 percent advantage.

Meanwhile, the betting market has Donald Trump dominating in all seven swing states over Harris.

The U.S. is just seven days away from the most consequential election of a lifetime between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris.

The candidates aren’t pulling any punches as polls tighten and over 43.3 million Americans have already cast their ballot in the 2024 election.

And although Trump is holding the momentum over Harris according the polls, it is shaping up to be one of the closest elections in history.

The presidential candidates hit the campaign trail in swing states hard on Monday, with fleeting days between now and November 5 to win over voters on the fence.

Trump ridiculed Kamala Harris for a major campaign slip up and denied being a Nazi during a massive rally in Atlanta, the heart of the battleground state of Georgia.

Meanwhile, Harris had an extremely awkward mid-speech flub during a rally in swing state Michigan.

Trump criticizes Harris for using the F-word on a hot mic, but muddles his swear words

Trump criticizes Harris’ hot mic moment but muddles his swear words

Harris accidentally admitted her campaign is struggling with male voters with just over a week until Election Day.

The moment occurred while she was enjoying a beer alongside Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer at Trak Houz Bar & Grill while on the campaign trail in the critical swing state of Michigan over the weekend.

‘We need to move ground among men,’ she can be heard saying in a low voice to Whitmer, clearly not thinking that anyone was privy to their conversation.

She then looked up abruptly and cut off the private chat.

‘Oh, we have microphones and listening to everything,’ a surprised Harris says. ‘I didn’t realize that.’

‘Okay… you’ll bleep my F words hopefully,’ Whitmer joked.

‘We just told all the family secrets, s***,’ Harris replies before her busting out into a loud laugh.

In his Atlanta rally speech, Trump ridiculed Harris for being caught using foul language on a hot mic.

Does anybody know that she is not a nice person? In case you had any ideas. Did you see she used the F-word the other day? She thought she was talking without a camera on. She used the F-word. Did you see that? No, it’s terrible. If that ever happened to me, it would have been front page headlines.

He said she should be admonished.

Just one problem. She didn’t use the F-word. It was the S-word.

Former President Trump on Monday denied being a Nazi, a day after a controversial Madison Square Garden rally where speakers used crude and racist language.

Even before the event, critics including Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris’ running mate Tim Walz, compared it with a 1939 rally by Nazi sympathizers at the same venue.

‘I’m not a Nazi. I’m the opposite of a Nazi,’ Trump told thousands of supporters at Georgia Tech.

‘Now the way they talk is so disgusting and just horrible.’

Trump spent the day in the crucial swing state of Georgia a day after entertaining supporters in New York.

Obama slams Trump’s Madison Square Garden event

By Emily Goodin, senior White House correspondent in Philadelphia

Barack Obama slammed Donald Trump for holding a ‘racist, sexist, bigoted’ event at Madison Square Garden.

Obama was speaking at a rally for Kamala Harris in Philadelphia when he went after the former president.

‘The man holds this big rally in Madison Square Garden,’ he said, noting the warmup speakers were ‘saying the most racist, sexist, bigoted, stereotypes.’

Obama told the cheering crowd: ‘And that is the reason why this election should not be close. It should be clear. If somebody does not respect you, if someone does not see you as a fellow citizen’ then they shouldn’t get your vote.

He called on people to ‘reject the politics’ that Trump and his supporters presented Sunday night.

Kamala Harris urges Michigan to vote but avoids latest Trump controversy

Sarah Ewall-Wice, Senior U.S. Political Reporter in Ann Arbor, MI:

Vice President Kamala Harris rallied support from Michigan voters in Ann Arbor, but she avoided addressing the latest controversy surrounding Donald Trump, instead sticking with her stump speech and trying to deliver an uplifting message.

‘Now is the time to get out the vote, Michigan,’ Harris said as the crowd chanted ‘vote, vote, vote.’

The vice president delivered a direct message to young people at the event which had a number of students from the University of Michigan.

‘I love your generation, I really do,’ she said, noting they are ‘rightly impatient for change.’

She said young people only know the climate crisis and are leading the charge to protect the planet. She said they are fighting for school safety and know fewer rights than previous generations so are ‘standing up for reproductive freedom.’

She asked people in the crowd to raise their hands if they are a first-time vote. A significant number of hands went up throughout the crowd.

The vice president reiterated her line about Trump becoming more ‘unhinged’ and ‘unstable’ and warned of unchecked power if he is reelected again, but she notably did not mention the controversy around his New York City rally on Sunday or the racist and sexist comments made by speakers at it.

A top Republican is demanding Tim Walz be investigated after his previous relationship with a Chinese Communist Party official’s daughter was revealed by DailyMail.com.

The Minnesota governor and Kamala Harris’ running mate had the fling while he was living and teaching in China in 1989.

Walz became romantically involved with Jenna Wang, 59, who claims the VP hopeful showered her with gifts and seduced her at his poky staff accommodation in the Guangdong Province.

The pair were sexually active, traveled together and frequently went on dates, Wang told DailyMail.com, and they hid it all from her father, who was then a high-ranking CCP official.

Now, after the close ties between Walz and Wang were uncovered, Florida Republican Sen. Marco Rubio is demanding to know more.

He says Walz must be investigated over his relationship with Wang because ‘voters deserve to know’ before the election in eight days.

Exclusive:Eric Trump slams liberal media for failing to report Doug Emhoff ‘slapped girlfriend’ and nanny affair

Eric Trump says Kamala Harris should be ‘disqualified’ over claims her husband Doug Emhoff slapped his girlfriend and impregnated the family nanny.

The ex-president’s son told the Daily Mail that the liberal mainstream media refuses to report the claims ‘because they’re in the pocket of the Democratic Party.’

‘These stories are disqualifying and they won’t allow them to be run because they’ll do anything to have Kamala Harris win and they’ll do anything to be anti-Donald Trump,’ Eric said.

‘The mainstream media has effectively become a lobbyist for the Democratic Party, they’re all intertwined, they’re all best friends.’

Kamala Harris and Tim Walz set to rally with Maggie Rogers in Ann Arbor, Michigan

Sarah Ewall-Wice, Senior U.S. Political Reporter in Ann Arbor, MI:

Vice President Kamala Harris and running mate Tim Walz are set to rally with singer Maggie Rogers tonight in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

The line of people wound around Burns Park and through the residential neighborhood where the event was taking place. Some residents put lawn chairs outside their houses and sat to watch the expanding crowds. Most of the yards in the area had signs for Harris.

Ann Arbor, home of the University of Michigan, has a large Democratic population.

The stage is drapped in a ‘When we Vote We Win’ sign in the blue and gold of the University of Michigan. Attendees carried blue and gold ‘vote’ signs.

The county voted overwhelmingly with 72 percent for Biden in 2020. In 2016 it was also overwhelmingly blue but a significant number of registered Democrats didn’t show up.

More than 45 million people have already voted in the 2024 election including nearly 1.9 million Michigan.

People have been mailing in ballots in the state for weeks. In-person early voting began on Saturday with wait times to cast a ballot lasting more than an hour.

Ann Arbor set the record for the most people who voted in the state during the first day of early in-person voting on Saturday.

A number of college students who were in attendance told DailyMail.com their top issue in the election was reproductive rights.

While there were numerous students, it also brought families and seniors from the area.

Brenda Cheek, 68, has never attended a political event before, but she wanted to witness what she believes is a historic moment that she might not live to see again.

She came to the rally straight from voting in-person early and was sporting her ‘I voted’ sticker. She said she’s worried about Social Security and believes Trump is not qualified at all to be on the ballot.

‘He’s trying to cut out the middle class completely regardless if you Republican, Independent or Democrat. He don’t care, he just wants the vote,’ Cheek said.

Ballot box fires in two states are CONNECTED as cops hunt ‘suspect vehicle’

Police say two fires set at ballot boxes in separate states are connected with just eight days until Election Day in what appears to be a serious case of attempted election interference.

In Portland, Oregon, police have identified a ‘suspect vehicle’ after a ballot box in the southeast part of the city was lit on fire early Monday morning and hundreds of votes were destroyed.

Officials responded to the fire around 3:30am. By the time they arrived, the fire had already been put out by security employees working in the area.

Meanwhile, flames and smoke were spotted early Monday morning coming out of a ballot box in Vancouver, Washington.

Police confirmed that the two fire incidents are connected and are also linked to a separate ballot box fire in Vancouver on October 8.

Multnomah County Elections Director Tim Scott revealed that the county has now employed 24-hour private security ‘roving patrols’ to ‘put eyes on the drop boxes.’
