Harris shares medical report in psychological resilience bid; Trump well being scrutinized: Live

Kamala Harris has released a health summary from her White House physician, which states that she “possesses the physical and mental resiliency required to successfully execute the duties of the presidency.”

In the summary released on Saturday morning, the vice president’s physician Joshua Simmons writes that she is in “excellent health.”

Harris is releasing her medical information in a challenge to Donald Trump, whose health and age are coming under increased scrutiny.

Donald Trump wants to immediately invoke a more than 200-year-old wartime law that grants the president unilateral authority to deploy federal law enforcement for rounding up and deporting immigrants as soon as he enters office.

The former president, speaking from Aurora, Colorado on Friday, told supporters that he plans to revive the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, which would give the president unprecedented ability to target foreigners for removal, without a hearing or due process, based solely on their place of birth or citizenship.

His “Operation Aurora” — named after the Colorado city he has denigrated as a “war zone” from “migrant crime” — would also dispatch “elite squads of ICE, border patrol, and federal law enforcement officers to hunt down, arrest, and deport every last illegal alien gang member until there is not a single one left in this country,” he said.

House Republicans are becoming more and more frustrated with their colleague Marjorie Taylor Greene and her bizarre, and debunked, claims that Democrats are “controlling the weather” following the recent devastation caused by hurricanes in the southeastern US.

The Maga firebrand from Georgia has doubled down on her conspiracy, leading even her fellow party members to speculate that she “needs [her] head examined.”

Greene claimed online last week that “they” can control the weather after Hurricane Helene killed more than two dozen people in her state and more than 230 in total. On Wednesday she doubled down, clarifying that she was referring to governmental organizations including NOAA.

Her remarks have been met with outrage, including from representatives whose districts have been directly affected by both Helene and now Milton. One described Greene’s remarks about the weather to Axios as “loony tunes”.

Carlos Gimenez, who represents a Hurricane-prone district in South Florida, replied to one of Greene’s posts writing, “NEW FLASH —> Humans cannot create or control hurricanes. Anyone who thinks they can, needs to have their head examined.”

“Everybody knows that’s false,” Trump said on the podcast.

Referring to the election, he continued: “But this is a thing [that’s] gonna end in 29 days, so they can say what they want,” Trump said. “I have a hard time doing it to them, because … I’m basically a truthful person, but —”

Schulz struggled to compose himself when Trump said this.

Finding the statement so amusing, the comedian leaned back in his chair and laughed out loud.

“What does that mean?” Schulz asked the former president, who tried to continue talking over the laughter.

Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan has slammed Donald Trump after he criticized his city in a speech to the Detroit Economic Club, saying Detroit would be badly impacted if Vice President Kamala Harris was elected in the two-hour address on Thursday.

“The whole country is going to be like, you want to know the truth? It’ll be like Detroit. Our whole country will end up being like Detroit if she’s your president. You’re going to have a mess on your hands,” he said. “We’re not going to let her do that to this country. We’re not gonna let it happen.”

Duggan responded to Trump on X.

“Detroit just hosted the largest NFL Draft in history, the Tigers are back in the playoffs, the Lions are headed to the Super Bowl, crime is down and our population is growing. Lots of cities should be like Detroit. And we did it all without Trump’s help,” Duggan wrote. “Numbers and Facts don’t lie. Detroit is the beacon of light. The beacon of progress. The beacon of resurgence.”

Duggan added on Instagram: “We’ve got record low homicide rates and we’re growing our population for the first time since the 1950s.”

Vice President Kamala Harris could not come up with three virtues about former president Donald Trump when she was asked to do so on Thursday evening at a Univision town hall event.

The Democratic presidential nominee laughed upon hearing the question, posed by an audience member, and immediately shared a negative trait about Trump that she does not like.

“Let me start with this, based on a life experience I know that a vast majority of us have much more in common than what separates us and part of what paints me is the approach that, frankly, Donald Trump and some others have taken – which is to suggest that it’s us vs. them, whoever that may be,” Harris said.

The Harris campaign has launched yet another organization to engage with and mobilize a specific group of voters: hunters and anglers.

The new coalition will target sportspeople, conservationists and rural gun violence prevention voters in key swing states across the country as the candidates enter their final three weeks of campaigning before Election Day.

“In rural America, hunting and fishing is more than just a hobby,” Matthew Hildreth, the Harris campaign’s National Rural Engagement Director, said.

“For generations, it’s been our way of life that not only brings together friends, family, and neighbors; but also creates countless jobs in small towns and rural communities nationwide. While Donald Trump’s Project 2025 agenda would disinvest in critical conservation efforts to support wildlife and limit access to hunting and fishing, Vice President Harris cast the tie-breaking vote on the most consequential climate and conservation agenda in decades.”

The launch occurs just as Governor Tim Walz prepares to participate in an early hunt in Minnesota.

At the same time Donald Trump falsely accused and criticized Vice President Kamala Harris for using a teleprompter, the former president removed a piece of signage that fell on his teleprompter at a rally in Reno, Nevada on Friday evening.

Halfway through Trump’s rally, he walked away from the lectern to pick up a piece of signage that fell onto the teleprompter which caused it to stop projecting a script.

“Thank god I don’t use teleprompters too much,” Trump told rallygoers. “I look at the teleprompter, it’s totally gone. I say ‘What the hell happened’. The sign fell on top of it.”

The irony of the incident comes to light when reflecting on the number of times the former president has accused Harris of relying on a teleprompter and mocking her for it.

Trump told supporters on Friday he would “level” with them, admitting to his teleprompter usage and yet still asserted Harris uses one more.

“Isn’t it nice to have a guy that doesn’t need a teleprompter, a president, a potential president that doesn’t need a teleprompter?” Trump asked supporters moments after fixing his teleprompter.

He went on to, again, falsely accuse Harris of using one during her town hall with Univision on Thursday.
