Harris delivers closing address at site of Trump's Jan. 6 rally
Vice President Kamala Harris on Tuesday night addressed voters from the scene of Donald Trump's alleged crime -- the infamous Jan. 6, 2021 rally -- to make her closing case to the American people before next week's presidential election. An estimated 52,000 supporters turned out to the Ellipse in Washington, D.C., taking her Republican rival to task for his divisive campaign while also painting a picture of the future if she is elected to office with the White House prominently featured in the background.

Trump defends jokes at NYC 'lovefest' rally

Donald Trump disregarded fallout over several racist and offensive comments made by speakers at a recent New York City campaign rally, insisting the event was "a lovefest." At a Mar-a-Lago address on Tuesday, the former president defended his Sunday rally at Madison Square Garden, which has faced backlash from both Democratic and Republican observers for racist and sexist comments targeting Latinos, Black people, Jews and Palestinians. Tony Hinchcliffe's joke referring to Puerto Rico as a "floating island of garbage" drew particular outrage, especially given the importance of Puerto Rican voters in swing states.
