Election 2024 live updates: Trump and Harris to campaign in battleground Pennsylvania

Fox News revealed on Monday that Vice President Kamala Harris has agreed to sit for an interview with the network to be broadcast on Wednesday.

The interview will be conducted by chief political anchor Bret Baier and is set to be recorded near Pennsylvania shortly before airing.

Fox News said the vice president is expected to sit for about half an hour of questions.

It will be Harris’s first formal interview with the conservative network.

The 49-year-old Las Vegas resident was pulled over about half a mile from the Coachella Valley campaign event armed with an unregistered shotgun, a loaded handgun, and a high-capacity magazine.

Mary Trump is accusing her estranged uncle of having a “new owner” because of his increasingly close relationship with tech billionaire Elon Musk.

“Donald Trump has always been for sale,” she wrote in a Substack post this weekend.

“Given this decades-long pattern, it’s not surprising that the world’s richest fascist, South African jumping bean Elon Musk, would also be interested in purchasing a few shares in a man who is willing to sell whatever he can get his hands on — whether it’s steaks or American national security — because he values money more than anything.”

While Trump promotes a baseless idea that non-citizens are illegally casting ballots to rig the election against him, voting-eligible citizens are being swept up in Republican-led purges across the country, Alex Woodward reports.

Having questioned his opponent’s mental wellbeing earlier for absolutely no reason other than the strategy worked for him against Joe Biden, here’s Mike Bedigan on the 78-year-old getting mighty shirty when the tables are turned on him.

Here’s our data correspondent Alicija Hagopian with all the latest election polling as the candidates apparently remain deadlocked.

Here’s more from Gustaf Kilander on the Republican nominee’s fury at the forthcoming new biopic in which Sebastian Stan plays his younger self, Succession’s Jeremy Strong his cutthroat mentor Roy Cohn and Maria Bakalova his late first wife Ivana.

Trump says Ali Abbasi’s film, which has struggled to find an American distributor, amounts to election interference.

Oh boy. Trump’s running mate has been sharing his thoughts on the nuclear family once again.

The two White House candidates are descending on the pivotal swing state of Pennsylvania on Monday, which Joe Biden narrowly won four years ago and which promises to serve as kingmaker once again this time around.

Harris will be holding a rally in Erie, a Democratic majority city in the northwest of the state of about 94,000 people bordered by suburbs and rural areas that is home to plenty of registered Republicans in the hope of changing their minds.

Trump, meanwhile, will be in the southeast doing a town hall at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center and Fairgrounds in suburban Oaks.

The Vice President has announced a plan to give Black men more economic opportunities and other chances to thrive as she works to energize a key voting bloc that Democrats are worried lacks enthusiasm for her candidacy.

Harris’s “opportunity agenda for Black men” includes providing forgivable business loans for Black entrepreneurs, creating more apprenticeships and studying sickle cell and other diseases that disproportionately affect African American men.

The Democrat has already said she supports legalizing marijuana and her plan calls for working to ensure that Black men have opportunities to participate as a “national cannabis industry takes shape.”

She also is calling for better regulating cryptocurrency to protect Black men and others who invest in digital assets.

The VP’s plan is meant to invigorate African American males at a moment when there are fears some may sit out the election rather than vote for Harris or her opponent, Donald Trump, an issue Barack Obama attempted to tackle head-on in Pennsylvania last week.
