Trump requires twenty fifth Amendment modifications forward of Harris debate: Live
Donald Trump rallied supporters in Mosinee, Wisconsin on Saturday, in his first visit to the deep-red, mostly rural part of the important swing state.
The former president made a new attack against Vice President Kamala Harris, suggesting expanding the 25th Amendment to include the possibility of removing a vice president for shielding any health issues of a president from public view. Trump has been openly bitter about President Joe Biden’s decision to exit the 2024 race.
Accusing Harris and other Biden allies of pushing him out of the race in a “cover-up,” Trump told the crowd: “I will support modifying the 25th Amendment to make clear that if a vice president lies or engages in a conspiracy to cover up the incapacity of the president of the United States — if you do that with a cover-up of the president of the United States, it’s grounds for impeachment immediately and removal from office, ‘cause that’s what they did.”
At another point during the rally, Trump offered an explanation for his frequent references to the fictional cannibal Hannibal Lecter.
The Silence of the Lambs character is a “representative of people that are coming into our country,” he said.

New Mexico governor to campaign for Harris in Virginia ahead of debate
New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham will campaign for the Harris-Walz team in Northern Virginia on Monday ahead of Tuesday’s debate.
There she will hold “fireside chats” to “highlight the stark contrast between Vice President Harris’ vision for a New Way Forward and Trump’s Project 2025 agenda,” the Harris campaign said in an advisory.
Lujan Grisham will take part in a Women for Harris event to speak about abortion rights and a Latinos con Harris-Walz event where she’ll “highlight how Trump’s Project 2025 would make life harder and more expensive for Latino families in Virginia and across the country,” the campaign added.
Harris says she’s ‘ready’ for debate
The vice president, wearing all black, a hat, and a scarf, and the Second Gentleman, wearing a Harris/Walz sweatshirt, walked past reporters as part of what took on the feel of an impromptu procession, preceded by and followed by aides and security personnel both on foot and in vehicles.
At first, she did not answer questions about how she would respond to Trump at their upcoming debate and said “thank you” in the reporters’ direction.
The Independent asked if she is ready for the debate. The vice president turned, made a thumbs-up gesture up and replied: “Ready!”
Warnock responds to JD Vance’s comments on Georgia shooting: Guns make us all ‘sitting ducks’
He was asked about the comments by Vance, which ignited a media firestorm and were seized upon by Kamala Harris’s campaign as the latest sign of Republicans’ refusal to address such horrific attacks in American schools.

Liz Cheney torches Nikki Haley over support for Donald Trump
Anti-Trump Republicans including Cheney have become increasingly vocal in the past few months as Kamala Harris has ascended to the top of the Democratic ticket; emboldened by the new vigor her party has found in her wake. Trump, now running for the presidency for a third time, is poised to either pull off a massive political comeback or suffer his second defeat in as many presidential election cycles — to say nothing of the defeats his hand-picked candidates suffered in 2022’s midterms.
His enemies on the right, despite his dominating victory in the Republican primary earlier this year, still smell blood in the water and are now looking to Harris to deal an electoral deathblow this November.
NC gov says if Harris wins his state, she wins the White House
North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper, who was in the race to be Vice President Kamala Harris’s running mate before asking that he not be considered, told CBS’s Face the Nation that if Harris wins his state, she’ll win the White House.
The last time a Democrat won the Tar Heel state was in 2008, when Barack Obama won it for the Democrats for the first time since Jimmy Carter ran in 1976.
Cooper told CBS that if Harris wins North Carolina, “she is the next president of the United States.”
“It’s close here in North Carolina. It always is,” he added. “This was Biden-Harris’s closest loss in 2020, only 1.3%. So the fact that Kamala Harris, as Vice President of the United States, has been to North Carolina 17 times shows that she cares about our state.”
“She’s got a plan to lower costs for North Carolinians, particularly in this childcare arena, drug pricing. We’re excited about the economic plan that she has … and I think North Carolinians will respond to it,” the governor said.
“When we continue to get this information out to the American public, and to people here in North Carolina, that Kamala Harris has an economic plan that’s going to help lower the cost for everyday people, that’s going to help families thrive, that is going to protect women’s reproductive freedom. I think at the end of the day, that’s going to be what works here,” he added.
Harris campaign touts Republican support
The Harris campaign noted in a press release on Sunday the amount of support from Republicans the vice president has received, such as from former Vice President Dick Cheney, his daughter, former Congresswoman Liz Cheney, her former January 6 Select Committee colleague Adam Kinzinger, former Georgia Lieutenant Governor Geoff Duncan, former Trump White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham, and former Mike Pence advisor Olivia Troye.
They added that Harris has the support of more than 230 alumni of George W Bush, John McCain, and Mitt Romney.
“As hundreds of Republican leaders have already realized, Vice President Harris is offering a New Way Forward for all Americans who reject Donald Trump’s threats to our freedom and his dangerous Project 2025 agenda,” the campaign said. “Between now and Election Day, Team Harris-Walz will continue making the case to conservative, independent, and moderate voters that they have the choice to put their country and democracy first and leave Donald Trump’s toxic chaos and division behind.”
‘The Republicans have nominated someone who is depraved,’ Cheney says
