As Kamala Harris celebrated her 60th birthday, she chose to spend it differently than Donald Trump. While Trump visited a McDonald's and repeated his controversial "enemy within" rhetoric, Harris attended church services in Georgia to rally Black voters. She shared stories of her youth in Oakland, California, and how her religious experiences shaped her politics. Using the parable of the Good Samaritan, Harris emphasized the importance of compassion in policies. She asked the congregation what kind of country they want to live in: one of chaos and fear, or one of freedom and justice. Harris urged everyone to answer this question not just with words, but with actions and votes.
Meanwhile, Trump's comments targeted Democratic representatives Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff, suggesting they could be handled by the National Guard or military. This has sparked concerns about potential authoritarian actions if he returns to power. The Harris campaign quickly responded, criticizing Trump's divisive tactics and his avoidance of mainstream interviews. Trump's campaign stop at a McDonald's in Pennsylvania appeared to be an attempt to mock Harris's past work at the fast food chain. Trump's town hall in Lancaster was centered around attacking immigrants and promoting harsh immigration policies.
Elon Musk, a billionaire supporting Trump, made false and fear-mongering claims at a town hall in Pittsburgh, saying the constitution is under attack. He also announced a daily $1 million donation to those signing his petition backing the first and second amendments, though the legality of this is unclear. Democratic governors from key states highlighted Harris's policies and criticized Trump's record, aiming to sway voters in the tight race. Trump's vulgar rhetoric at a Saturday rally caused controversy, with Republican senators trying to avoid discussing it. Early voting has begun in several states, with high turnouts reported in Georgia.
