The 2016 Vice President’s Message: “Serving as a president for all Americans,” Trump reportedly told reporters at a rally in Charlotte

One woman raised her hand when Trump said that no one had raised their hands. He shared shouted comments from the rally-goers and said it could have be Nancy Pelosi, or a woman who transitioned.

He asked if any woman would be offended by the fact that he said he would protect him as president.

“What I do is very controversial. I don’t care. I do the right thing,” Trump said. “I want to protect women, I want to protect our men, I want to protect children. I would like to protect everyone.

At his afternoon rally in Gastonia, N.C., Trump repeated his calls for the death penalty for any migrant who kills any American citizen or law enforcement officer.

In a Saturday post on his platform Truth Social, Trump said that his opponent “is slumping to the finish line, yawning, shrieking, and cackling” calling Harris “a Low IQ individual.”

I would ask people who have yet to vote to not fall for his tactic of suggesting that the integrity of our voting system is not intact so that they don’t vote.

The theme of the two-minute Harris advertisement is “serving as a president for all Americans” and it will run during the Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions football games on Sunday.

“At the top of my list is bringing down the cost of living for you,” Harris said at her Charlotte rally. “That will be my focus every day as president.”

In her final days on the trail, Vice President Harris plans to focus on the specific things she hopes to do to improve the lives of Americans from all walks of life, according to officials from her campaign.

A True Torss-Up in North Carolina after the 2016 Midterms: The Case for a Democratic Reelection Candidate

Trump won 52% of the vote in the counties designated by FEMA as qualifying for assistance under its updated disaster declaration, according to an NPR analysis. And when the heavily Democratic Mecklenburg County is excluded, Trump won 63% of disaster-affected counties.

In presidential elections for the last five decades, North Carolina has been on the Republican side. But this year, the state is a true toss-up.

The campaigns of Harris and Trump are holding a lot of events in the state on Saturday.

Harris attended a rally in Atlanta on Saturday and then went to Charlotte for an event with Cooper and Jon Bon Jovi.

The last Democratic presidential candidate to do it was in 1976, when Gerald Ford won it. Despite a lot of attention from his reelection campaign, Obama narrowly lost the state in 2012.

Changing demographic could boost Harris’ chances in the state but Trump carried it by three percentage points in both 2016 and 2020.

There has been rapid growth in the so-called Research Triangle in the last 20 years, home to North Carolina State University, Duke University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, leading to an increase in the state’s population of college-educated voters – who are more likely to be Harris supporters.

The GOP has a large advantage with white voters who don’t have college degrees, and they have also focused on reaching conservatives in the areas that were impacted by Hurricane Helene.

The Second White House: How the Voting Machines Are Stolving The Voting Process in North Carolina, and the Future is Now

The race for president is likely to go down to the wire in a few swing states, with Americans having two days left to cast their votes.

Trump was scheduled to travel to Kinston, N.C., for another rally Sunday afternoon. He’s then set to put on a third rally in Macon, Ga., — just 2 hours north of Kinston. The former president is scheduled to campaign in the Tar Heel state every day until the end of the election. Trump won North Carolina’s electoral votes in 2016 and 2020, but polls show an increasingly tight race.

During his speech at the Lancaster Airport, Trump told his supporters that this election is being stolen — a false claim he also made in the lead up to the 2020 election.

Trump pointed to the press and said that the people were fighting like a son of a gun. “We’re fighting. They are doing everything they can to steal it. Take a moment and look at what’s happening. Look at what’s going on in your state every day. They are discussing extending hours.

The former president provided no supporting evidence of the election being stolen, but cast doubt on voting machines citing tech-billionaire Elon Musk, who is backing Trump and has used his ownership of X, the online platform previously known as Twitter, to push misinformation about the electoral process.

“The polls are just as bad as the writers back there are,” Trump said. They can make those polls sing. They talk about it. I’m in front in Iowa by 10 points. One of my enemies just put out a poll — I’m three down.”

“Kamala broke it, and we will fix it, and we’re going to fix it fast,” Trump said after he arrived more than an hour late. America will be bigger, better, bolder, richer, safer and stronger than before.

Black Voting, Black Churches, and the Corresponding Media: The U.S. Will Be Tested Next Two Days

For the fourth Sunday in a row, Harris attended a service at a Black church in a swing state. She was going to campaign at the barbershop in the neighborhood that has a lot of Black-owned businesses. On Sunday night, she will have a rally in East Lansing, home of Michigan State University.

Black voters and college students are key to the coalition the Harris campaign needs to get her across the finish line in states like Michigan, where the race is tight.

“Everyone must know that their vote is their power to determine the outcome of the election, and their vote will count. She said to reporters that it does matter.

Asked how her campaign would respond if Trump prematurely declares victory on Tuesday night — as he did in 2020 — Harris emphasized that U.S. elections and the U.S. voting system has integrity and can be trusted.

In a statement following the speech, Trump Campaign Communications Director Steven Cheung said Trump’s comment “has nothing to do with the Media being harmed, or anything else.”

In his remarks Sunday, Trump suggested he “shouldn’t have left” the White House after his election loss in 2020 and joked about the media being shot during another assassination attempts against him.

“In these next two days, we will be tested,” Harris told the congregation at the Greater Emmanuel Institutional Church of God in Christ, in Detroit. “These days will demand everything we’ve got.”

Harris also stopped by Elma’s Barber Shop in Pontiac, Minch. where she spoke with local leaders and Black men. She is going to have a rally in East Lansing that is about Michigan State University.

Harris attended a service at the Black church on four Sundays in a row. She then worked the crowd at Kuzzo’s Chicken and Waffles in Detroit’s Livernois district, a restaurant owned by former Detroit Lions player Ron Bartell.
