Vance attribue les critiques passées de Trump aux “mensonges médiatiques”
Alors qu’il faisait campagne à Reno, dans le Nevada, Vance a imputé ses précédentes critiques à l’égard de Trump aux médias.
“Lorsque Donald Trump s’est présenté à la présidence, j’ai cru à beaucoup de mensonges médiatiques à son sujet”, a déclaré Vance en réponse à une question d’un journaliste sur ce qui l’avait fait changer d’avis sur le bilan économique de l’ancien président.
Le candidat à la vice-présidence a un jour comparé Trump à Hitler et a déclaré qu’il n’était pas apte à la Maison Blanche. En messages privés, selon le Washington PostVance a également dénigré le bilan économique de Trump, affirmant qu’il “avait complètement échoué à mettre en œuvre son populisme économique”.
“Vous savez, celui qui se souvient mieux que quiconque de ces critiques est Donald J. Trump”, a déclaré Vance. “Quand Biden était encore candidat et que les médias essayaient d’attaquer Donald Trump et de dire, eh bien, vous savez, ces deux candidats ont parfois des problèmes de mémoire, et c’était incroyablement malhonnête parce que Donald Trump se souvient de ce que j’ai dit à son sujet sur Le 9 juillet 2015, à 8h32 pile, et il m’a cassé les babines à ce sujet.”

Karine Jean-Pierre on Biden’s “lock him up” remark: “He was referring to defeating Donald Trump”
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was asked during Wednesday’s press briefing what President Biden meant when he said, “We gotta lock him up.”
Jean-Pierre said Mr. Biden “made very clear yesterday that he was referring to defeating Donald Trump. That is what he was talking about.”
On Tuesday during a campaign stop in New Hampshire, Mr. Biden said, “We gotta lock him up. Politically lock him up. Lock him out. That’s what we have to do.”
When a reporter noted that Mr. Biden first said “lock him up,” Jean-Pierre said the president clarified his remarks himself on Tuesday when he added “politically.”

Justice Department warns Elon Musk his $1 million giveaways could be illegal
The Justice Department has sent a letter to billionaire Elon Musk’s political action committee, saying Musk’s sweepstakes giving away $1 million to voters who sign a pledge could violate federal law, according to an individual familiar with the letter.
The 24Sight newsletter first reported the letter from the DOJ. Musk has promised $1 million to voters chosen at random for signing a petition in support of the First and Second Amendment. Experts previously told CBS News the legality of the move was dubious.
Musk has donated about $75 million to his pro-Trump PAC, America PAC, since he founded it.

Trump says he’ll stop illegal migration at the border on day one
The former president said he plans to shut down the border to illegal immigration on day one of a second Trump administration.
“It’ll be done in the first hour of the first day,” he said.
But Trump couldn’t manage to entirely shut down illegal immigration during his entire four years in office, and “day one” promises rarely work out as intended. Former President Barack Obama, for example, promised to shut down the prison at Guantanamo Bay on “day one,” but it was still partially open when he left office in 2017.

Walz knocks Trump for “descension into madness”
Speaking to reporters after voting early in his home state of Minnesota, Walz said the last 24 hours have been “a bit shaking” following a report from The Atlantic about Trump’s comments about the military and service members that he says shows his “descension into madness.”
“Donald Trump made it very clear that this is an election about Donald Trump taking full control of the military to use against his political enemies, taking full control of the Department of Justice to prosecute those who disagree with him, taking full control of the media on what is told and what is told to the American public,” the Democratic vice presidential nominee said.
Walz referenced comments Trump made about Hitler, according to his former chief of staff John Kelly, and argued those who worked for the former president are issuing warnings about him.
“The opportunity here and the absolute requirement of Americans is to understand that this rhetoric has not been used in this country, certainly not by a party’s presidential nominee, and the opportunity here is to elect Kamala Harris,” he said.
Walz echoed comments from Kelly, a former Marine general, about Trump’s understanding of the Constitution.
“Donald Trump doesn’t understand the Constitution nor does he respect the rule of law,” he said. “If there was ever a red line, he has stepped across it.”
Walz closed with an appeal to the American people two weeks before Election Day: “Go look. Go see what he’s saying and watch this descension.”

JD Vance on campaign trail: “We’re going to make Las Vegas red, we’re going to make Nevada red”
GOP vice presidential candidate Sen. JD Vance is campaigning in Las Vegas on Wednesday, as Republicans try to flip the crucial battleground state of Nevada. He highlighted housing, blasting the Biden-Harris administration for “failing” to do its job on the issue, among other economic issues that are particularly salient for voters in the Silver State, while lambasting the Democratic presidential nominee for her serious tone in recent weeks of the campaign.
“The joy is gone from the Kamala Harris campaign,” Vance said, accusing Harris of scolding his running mate.
Vance said Harris is “acting like a vice principal” who had called a child into the office, while contrasting her behavior with his running mate’s disposition.
“Do you want Kamala Harris who’s going to scold you when you’re having a good time?” Vance asked, rhetorically.
The Ohio Republican also leaned in on immigration, another issue that has been particularly relevant for Nevada voters, promising stronger border security under a Trump administration.

Harris calls Trump “unhinged and unstable”
Harris delivered brief remarks from outside her residence at the Naval Observatory about comments John Kelly, a former Marine general who served as Trump’s chief of staff, made about the former president to The New York Times.
Kelly said Trump matched the definition of a fascist and had spoken positively about Adolf Hitler.
“Donald Trump said that because he does not want a military that is loyal to the United States Constitution,” Harris said. “He wants a military that is loyal to him. He wants a military who will be loyal to him personally.”
The vice president called it “deeply troubling and incredibly dangerous” for Trump to invoke Hitler and said it further shows the American people who he is.
“Donald Trump is increasingly unhinged and unstable,” she said.
Harris said Trump wants “unchecked power.”
“The question in 13 days will be what do the American people want?” she said.

Trump encourages early voting
Trump called into a radio show hosted by conservative commentator Mark Levin on Wednesday morning, where he pushed listeners to cast their ballots early while continuing to sow doubt about the integrity of the election.
“They have to get out, ideally, get out early. But get out,” Trump said during the appearance. “I’ve been very strong at that, just make sure you get out. And we have to watch very carefully that this is going to be a fair election.”
The Republican presidential nominee also criticized Catholics who support Harris, questioning, “If you’re Catholic, how can you vote for Kamala?” He said Catholic voters who back his opponent should have to explain themselves.
During a separate appearance on a radio show hosted by Fox News host Brian Kilmeade, Trump said he would be voting early in Florida.
“I have the old standard of the Tuesday vote and all. A lot of people like to vote, and I really miss you know, the main thing to me is you’ve got to vote. You got to vote,” he said. “Voting early, I guess, would be good. But you know, people — I’ll have different feelings about it. But the main thing is you got to get out. You got to vote. And I’ll be voting early. I’ll be running early.”

British PM refutes Trump campaign’s claim about election interference
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Wednesday said that any Labour Party election workers in the U.S. were there as volunteers after claims by the Trump campaign that the party had “recruited and sent party members to campaign for Kamala in critical battleground states, attempting to influence our election.”
The Trump campaign filed an FEC complaint on Tuesday night, accusing the Labour Party of “illegal foreign campaign contributions and interference in our elections.”
The complaint referenced media reports about meetings between Labour and Democrat officials, and a now-deleted LinkedIn post in which a Labour staffer said there were “nearly 100 Labour Party staff (current and former) going to the U.S. in the next few weeks” to swing states, according to The Associated Press.

Georgia secretary of state expects to pass 2 million early votes cast in state “by lunch”
Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said the state is seeing record early voting turnout with just under two weeks until Election Day, with nearly 27% of active voters having already cast their ballots.
“Georgia is having continuing records every day, it seems, with early voting turnout,” Raffensperger said. “By lunch, we should cross the incredible hallmark of 2 million voters casting their ballots already.”
Raffensperger, who in 2021 resisted Trump’s urging to “find” more than 11,000 votes and overturn the results of the election in the Peach State, said the milestone proves that in Georgia, “it’s easy to vote and hard to cheat.”

Georgia secretary of state says state has “cleanest voter list” in the nation
Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said at a news conference on Wednesday that the state has the cleanest voter rolls in the nation, pointing to technological advancements in its voter registration technology and a new cancellation portal.
“Georgia has the cleanest voter list in the entire country,” Raffensperger said, adding that “Georgia can trust in their elections.”
Raffensperger said other states haven’t been able to get to the level of detail that his office achieved through an audit process, citing Georgia’s emphasis on technological advancements, along with its willingness to work with other government agencies.
The secretary of state also called Georgia a “model” for preventing noncitizens from voting. The state found 20 individuals who were identified as noncitizens, Chief Operating Officer Gabriel Sterling said.
Sterling said noncitizen voting, an issue that Republicans have expressed serious concerns about, is “rare,” especially in Georgia.
“In Georgia, we know we have the best system in America of stopping it on the front end,” he added.

In both of those states and several others, including North Carolina, Kentucky and Montana, state high courts have decided high-profile cases and could see their compositions shift in November.
