A Harris campaign official has said they “fully expect” former President Donald Trump to declare victory before all votes have been counted.
“It won’t work,” the official said during a press call.
“He did this before. It failed,” they added. “If he does it again, it will fail.”
With four days of campaigning to go in the 2024 race, Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are making their final pitches, spending Friday hosting competing rallies in Wisconsin where they will attempt to appeal to “blue wall” voters.
Having already addressed two gatherings of his supporters on Thursday, the former president ended his day in a sit-down interview with Tucker Carlson on stage in Glendale, Arizona, at which he shockingly fantasized about former Republican congresswoman Liz Cheney being shot at.
Cheney has since hit back at Trump, calling him “a petty, vindictive, cruel, unstable man who wants to be a tyrant.”
Vice President Harris closed out Thursday with a rally in Las Vegas in which singer and actor Jennifer Lopez emotionally endorsed her.

Trump campaign files FEC complaint against Harris campaign and The Washington Post
18:20
Gustaf Kilander
The Trump campaign has filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission accusing the Harris campaign and The Washington Post of making “in-kind contributions” by paying platforms to boost articles that portray the former president in a negative light.
“The Post’s own articles support a reasonable inference that the Harris team provided information about the content of communications that is material to The Washington Post’s communications, providing reason to believe the conduct prong is satisfied,” an attorney for the Trump campaign wrote in a letter to the FEC. “Thus, there is reason to believe The Washington Post has made coordinated communications, which constitute illegal corporate in-kind contributions to Harris for President, and that Harris for President has accepted such contributions.”
JD Vance claims teens become trans to bolster chances of getting into Ivy League schools

JD Vance claimed during an interview with podcaster Joe Rogan that teenagers become “trans” to better their chances of getting into Ivy League schools.
In the three-hour episode of The Joe Rogan Experience that was released on Thursday, the Ohio senator and Republican vice presidential nominee also claimed that some women “celebrate” their abortions and that studies show that “testosterone levels in young men” are connected to “conservative politics.”
Vance spent significant amounts of time criticizing transgender and nonbinary people, and added that he believed he and former President Donald Trump are likely to win the “normal gay guy vote.”

Trump’s record of leaking intelligence and doubts over his new team have allies worried, experts say
17:00
Rhian Lubin
With days to go until America decides who will become the next president, there are concerns among some US allies over one of the most important aspects of their alliance with the world’s most powerful nation — intelligence-sharing.
While a Kamala Harris presidency is expected to fit into a more predictable pattern of intelligence-handling, security experts say some US allies have more “anxiety” about the alternative: Donald Trump’s return to the White House.
The Independent spoke to experts in intelligence, national security, and foreign policy from the UK, Australia, and Canada on the implications of a second Trump term. They all agreed the stakes couldn’t be higher — and suggested the Republican candidate’s track record when it comes to leaking secret intelligence is one of their causes for concern.
‘Stupid b***ard’ and ‘sleazebag’: Trump launches profanity-laden attacks on Biden and Harris in sitdown with Carlson

Former President Donald Trump launched a profanity-laden attack on Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, calling the president a “stupid bastard” and the vice president a “sleazebag.”
Trump made the comments on Thursday night during a sitdown event with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson in Glendale, Arizona.
“When Biden got up with a red background, the pink background, and he looked like the devil. he looked so stupid, right?” Trump said. “And he said, ‘We will stop MAGA’ ... I said, ‘Listen, you stupid b***ard’. ... Maga means ... I think if you asked him, what does it mean, he does he doesn’t know what Maga means. Make America Great Again, that’s what MAGA means.”

Taylor Swift and Beyonce are the latest musicians to shun Donald Trump - but who else has rejected him?
16:00
Roisin O'Connor
Musicians and Donald Trump have a fraught relationship. From ordering him to stop playing their music to calling out his politics, some of the highest-profile artists in the world have aligned themselves against the former president, who is campaigning in the 2024 election against Democratic candidate Kamala Harris.
While several prominent singers have been calling out Trump as long ago as 1989, when he was a promoter for the Rolling Stones (Keith Richards was not a fan), his time as president prompted many more to criticise him at shows, write protest songs about him, or mock him from their social media accounts.
From his 2016 presidential campaign to his bid in the 2024 election, here’s an extensive timeline of some of the most notable moments involving Trump and the music industry.
VOICES: Jeff Bezos needs to choose: be a Trump puppet or a courageous newspaper owner

Thus we have one of the world’s great news organisations, The Washington Post (hereinafter the WashPo), now not telling its readers which candidate it considers would make the best next US president. Its voice has been silenced – by its owner.

“Earlier today, our office became aware of a video purporting to show a Haitian immigrant with multiple Georgia ID’s claiming to have voted multiple times.
“This is false, and is an example of targeted disinformation we’ve seen this election. It is likely foreign interference attempting to sow discord and chaos on the eve of the election.
“We are working to combat this and identify the origin of it with our state and federal partners. CISA is currently investigating. In the meantime, we ask Elon
Musk and the leadership of other social media platforms to take this down. This is obviously fake and part of a disinformation effort. Likely it is a production of Russian troll farms.

Recent national polling from ABC News/Ipsos, The News York Times/Sienna College and CNN show that Harris leads Trump 62 percent to 33 percent; 59 percent to 40 percent; and 61 percent to 36 percent respectively, according to an analysis by The Washington Post.
The same trend is also true across almost all of the swing states, according to surveys from CNN, Fox News, Marist Poll and USA Today/Suffolk University.

The Super PAC run by former GOP operatives that’s been working to convert former Trump voters into supporters of Kamala Harris is making a final push in key swing states with a massive billboard campaign meant to hammer home the message that it’s OK for a Republican to vote for a Democrat this time around.
On Friday, Republican Voters Against Trump rolled out a six-figure campaign to cover the sides of main roads in three key swing states with signs featuring ex-Trump voters who are now voting for Harris.
The billboards will be placed in “swarms” in which multiple signs will greet drivers, back-to-back, as they commute over the next few days. They will run in the Philadelphia, Milwaukee and Detroit media markets on November 1 and November 4.

Let’s start with a look back at Donald Trump’s final event of Thursday, a 90-minute sitdown with Tucker Carlson, in which the Republican presidential nominee fantasised about the shooting of former Republican congresswoman Liz Cheney, a truly shocking moment.

With Election Day drawing near, Republican Larry Hogan believes he can convince Democrats to vote for him
08:00
Oliver O'Connell
John Bowden reports from Odenton, Maryland:
Thursday was the perfect weather to do some last-minute voter canvassing. Larry Hogan said he might just do that.
Maryland’s former two-term governor is in the home stretch of a Senate campaign which began only in February — a run, he says, that was born out of frustration over the inaction just a short drive away in Washington, particularly as the Senate this year failed to reach a compromise (once again) on border security and immigration reform.
He was outside of the Odenton library on Thursday with less than a week to go in the election, revving up a small crowd of volunteers who were greeting early vot
