US Presidential Election Updates: Trump visits McDonalds as Harris delivers 60th anniversary sermon | US elections 2024
Donald Trump visited a McDonald's franchise in Pennsylvania on Sunday, working the drive-thru and tending the fryer while answering questions from reporters. The former president took a moment to brag about his time in office and sarcastically congratulated Kamala Harris on her 60th birthday. Maybe I'll bring him some fries, Trump said.
The visit was intended as an attack on opponent Harris, who worked at a fast food chain while in college. Trump has frequently questioned this experience, without providing any evidence.
Harris celebrated her birthday at two Georgia churches, continuing her election campaign to reach black voters across religious communities.
Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz visited churches in Michigan and Minnesota while Donald Trump and his supporter Elon Musk held separate town hall meetings in Pennsylvania. Both campaigns aim to rally support from voters in battleground states, 16 days before an election that polls show is still on a razor's edge.
Here's what happened on Sunday:
Kamala Harris election news
Kamala Harris celebrated her 60th birthday by visiting two community churches in Georgia. The first congregation sang Happy Birthday as Harris took the stage, while Stevie Wonder joined Harris and sang Bob Marley's redemption song during the second visit.
Harris explained how the religious experiences of his youth in Oakland, California, influenced his politics, speaking to the congregation at New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in Atlanta. Drawing on the parable of the Good Samaritan in the Gospel of Luke, the vice president argued for policies that embrace compassion. What kind of country do we want to live in – a country of chaos, fear and hatred, or a country of freedom, compassion and justice? When we encounter our brothers and sisters in need, let us see, as the Good Samaritan did, when faced with a stranger, a neighbor.
Walz, attending a church service in Saginaw, Michigan, criticized Trump for selling designer Bibles. We understand in our faith that the Bible must be read, followed and absorbed. It shouldn't be branded and sold for $59, Walz said, telling the crowd he felt rather uncomfortable with that idea.
Harris does not plan to campaign with Joe Biden before the election. The decision was mutual, the anonymous Harris campaign and White House officials told NBC News. The president will instead help Harris by leveraging his long-standing political connections. The most important role he can play is doing his job as president, a White House official said.
Harris spoke with Rev. Al Sharpton during a one-on-one interview in Atlanta on MSNBC's PoliticsNation, where she discussed the latest poll suggesting a decline in her support from black men. This narrative about the type of support we receive from black men simply doesn't pan out in reality, she said. I have to earn everyone's vote, regardless of race or gender.
News from the election of Donald Trump
Trump doubled down on his dangerous rhetoric calling Democrats the enemy from within during an interview with Howard Kurtz on Fox News, which aired Sunday. The former president said that the radical left crazies, the enemy within, should be very easily handled, if necessary, by the National Guard, or if really necessary, by the military, before specifically denouncing Representatives Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff. Similar comments made by Trump in recent weeks have raised concerns and fears of an authoritarian crackdown if he were to become president again.
Trump reiterated his statement that the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol was a day of love during the same interview with Fox News. When asked if he was comfortable calling January 6 the day of love, Trump responded: They came to protest a rigged election, you have a right to protest in this country. Earlier, he said there was a beauty and love to it, repeating comments he made at a recent town hall in Miami.
Trump held a town hall meeting in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, his second rally in the battleground state this weekend. Former ESPN anchor Sage Steele moderated the conversation while Trump answered questions from the audience. When asked if he would protect Social Security and Medicare benefits, Trump listed his priorities as follows: No Social Security tax on our seniors, it's a big deal No tax on tips [and] no overtime tax.
Elsewhere on the electoral campaign
Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and owner of X, held a town hall in Pittsburgh in support of Trump. In a brief speech, Musk repeated false and alarmist claims, telling attendees that the constitution was literally under attack. Musk also discussed his goal of speeding up government processes and his promised role as cost-cutting secretary in a second Trump administration. I'd like to say it's hard work, but it's not, he said.
Musk also issued his second check for $1 million to a signer of his petition that encourages Republicans in key states to register to vote. The tech mogul, whose net worth is estimated at $247 billion, pledged Saturday to donate $1 million every day to anyone who signs a petition supporting the First and Second Amendments.
