Kamala Harris holds a rally in Greenville, North Carolina
At a campaign stop in Greenville, North Carolina, the Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris attacked her rival Donald Trump for spreading misinformation related to hurricanes Helene and Milton.
“We can already see the harm he’s up to as a candidate,” Harris said. “Most recently, spreading disinformation in the wake of natural disasters.”
“Donald Trump cares more about scaring people, creating fear, running on a problem instead of what real leaders do, which is to participate in fixing problems,” Harris added.

Closing summary
Thanks for joining us today. This blog is closing soon. Here’s where things stand:
-
Kamala Harris and Donald Trump spent Sunday trying to shore up political support among what they perceived to be must-have voting blocs with polls showing them locked in a tight 5 November presidential race.
-
Kamala Harris held a rally in Greenville, North Carolina, where she attacked her rival Donald Trump for spreading misinformation related to hurricanes Helene and Milton. Meanwhile, Trump delivered his remarks at Prescott Valley, Arizona.
-
A Las Vegas man was arrested for illegally possessing firearms near Trump’s rally. Deputies assigned to Donald Trump’s rally “contacted” the driver of a black SUV at a checkpoint near the intersection at around 5pm on Saturday, law enforcement said.
-
Speaker Mike Johnson said that passing additional hurricane aid for states impacted by hurricanes Helene and Milton “can wait” until Congress is back in session after the election.
-
Three major polls were released Sunday, showing Kamala Harris either ahead of Donald Trump or running a head-to-head race.
Before concluding his speech, Donald Trump criticized critical race theory and made homophobic remarks about gender identity lessons at schools.
“Our cities are suffering,” Trump said. “We will get critical race theory and transgender insanity out of our schools, and we will keep men out of women’s sports.”
He later finished his speech at Prescott Valley, Arizona.
Republican Senate candidate in Arizona, Kari Lake, took the stage, calling former president Donald Trump one of the “greatest leaders in human history”.
“I want to go to Washington DC and help President Trump secure our border, make our state safe again, make our state affordable again, and make our kids have access to the American dream,” Lake said before walking off the stage.
Trump then expressed his support for several Republican leaders, including Representative Andy Biggs of Arizona, Utah congresswoman Celeste Maloy, and Arizona politician Paul Gosar.
Donald Trump pivoted to the economy, delivering his usual remarks about Kamala Harris being a “tax queen”, his promise for no tax on tips, and his plans to impose an across-the-board tariff of either 10% or 20% on every import coming into the US.
The former president later criticized the New York Times for publishing a review of Trump’s rallies and other events that looked at the change since he first took the political stage in 2015, with some attributing his harsher and less-focused performance to his age. Others have accused him of being cognitively impaired.
“I’ll let you know when I will be, someday. We all will be someday, but I’ll be the first to let you know,” Trump said.
Trump pledges to ask Congress to raise the wages of border patrol agents if he’s elected
Donald Trump said agents at the southern border are going “to save our country”, which is why he plans to ask Congress to approve a 10% raise and a $10,000 retention and signing bonus for each agent.
“We’re going to retain them, and they deserve it. They’ve been treated unbelievably badly,” he said.
Donald Trump invited National Border Council president, Paul Perez, to the stage. He quickly attacked Trump’s rival, Kamala Harris, and condemned her stance on immigration and her handling of the US-Mexico border.
“[Trump] has always stood with the men and women who protect this border, who put their minds on the line for the country, a man who knows about putting his life on the line for what is right,” said Perez.
“On behalf of the 16,000 men and women represented by the National Board of Patrol Council, we strongly support Donald J Trump for president of the United States,” Perez said.
Donald Trump expressed his support for Kari Lake, the Republican candidate in the Arizona Senate race, calling her a “tough one”.
Lake is running against the US Representative Ruben Gallego, with whom she debated on Wednesday.
“You destroyed that poor guy,” Trump said about her performance. “That was a destruction.”
Donald Trump called the mayor of Aurora, Colorado, Mike Coffman, a “radical left Democrat”.
During his rally, Trump repeated his comments about Venezuelan gang activity at an apartment complex in the city.
Coffman previously said these remarks were “grossly exaggerated”, adding they “have unfairly hurt the city’s identity and sense of safety”.
Donald Trump bragged about his list of endorsements, including SpaceX founder Elon Musk, former US representative Tulsi Gabbard, former third-party candidate Robert F Kennedy Jr, and former Trump national security adviser Robert O’Brien.
He also boasted about the harsh immigration policy undertaken during his presidency. Trump displayed a chart he usually presents during his rallies, showing a decline in people entering the US through the southern border while he was president.

He started his remarks by encouraging the crowd to vote “to take back our country”.
“With your help, 23 days from now – can you believe it? – we’re going to win Arizona and we’re going to defeat Kamala,” he said. “She shouldn’t even be running.”
He proceeded to use degrading language toward immigrants.
“We are here together this Sunday afternoon because we love our country,” Kamala Harris said during her rally in North Carolina. The crowd cheered “USA, USA, USA!”
“I do believe it is one of the highest forms of patriotism to then fight for the ideals of our country and to fight to realize the promise of America,” Harris said before concluding her speech.
Kamala Harris said Donald Trump’s presidency resulted in more than one in three women living in states with abortion bans, including North Carolina.
“General Milley, former chairman of the joint chiefs under Donald Trump, said: ‘No one has ever been as dangerous to this country.’ Think about that,” the vice-president said during her rally.

At a campaign stop in Greenville, North Carolina, the Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris attacked her rival Donald Trump for spreading misinformation related to hurricanes Helene and Milton.
“We can already see the harm he’s up to as a candidate,” Harris said. “Most recently, spreading disinformation in the wake of natural disasters.”
“Donald Trump cares more about scaring people, creating fear, running on a problem instead of what real leaders do, which is to participate in fixing problems,” Harris added.

Donald Trump is scheduled to deliver his remarks soon at a rally in Prescott Valley, Arizona.
Before his speech, Trump’s former adviser Stephen Miller took the stage, attacking the Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris.
“She not only annihilated our border, but she began using your tax dollars by the billions to smuggle, fly, bus, transport and, in every way possible, relocate illegal aliens en masse inside the United States,” Miller said.
He continued to make anti-immigrant comments and condemn the Biden administration’s border policy.
