Trump repeats debate conspiracies at Vegas rally as questions asked over Laura Loomer’s campaign influence: Latest updates

The theory – which city officials have said there is no evidence for – was even discussed on the debate stage as Trump faced off against Kamala Harris. Debate moderator David Muir pointed out the claim was unfounded, but Trump doubled down.

A September 11, 2001 responder and victims’ rights advocate said he believes Donald Trump is running for president “to stay out of jail” and doesn’t actually care about the American people after the former president invited far-right figure Laura Loomer to the 9/11 memorial.

John Feal, who was injured while working as a demolition supervisor at Ground Zero after 9/11, told CNN on Thursday that he thinks the former president only cares about himself and has surrounded himself with other “self-absorbed” people like Loomer.

“Donald Trump’s not running for president, he’s running to stay out of jail,” Feal said.“I don’t care what anybody says.”

“Unfortunately right now, we have to focus on making sure this rhetoric is dispelled, that these rumors are just, they’re just not true. Springfield is a beautiful place, and your pets are safe in Springfield,” Springfield mayor Rob Rue told CNN.

Springfield’s police and city manager, as well as the Ohio governor, have all affirmed that claims of Haitians eating pets are without evidence.

The day afterwards, Vance appeared on Fox News to lament Swift and her politics, adding that the 34-year-old pop star is “disconnected” from American society.

The Ohio senator said: “We admire Taylor Swift’s music, but I don’t think most Americans, whether they like her music or are fans of hers or not, are going to be influenced by a billionaire celebrity who I think is fundamentally disconnected from the interests and the problems of most Americans.”

A political action committee with apparent ties to Republican groups has aired advertisements in Michigan zip codes with notable Mulsim populations that emphasize Vice President Kamala Harris’s ties to Israel and her husband, Doug Emhoff’s, Jewish faith – seemingly in an attempt to draw the specific voters away.

A series of six advertisements from the Future Coalition PAC have aired in cities like Dearborn, Dearborn Heights and Hamtramck where the largest concentration of Arab Americans live.

At first, the ads appear celebratory of Emhoff potentially being the “first Jewish presidential spouse ever”.

When Paige Cognetti first ran to become mayor of Scranton, she was told she couldn’t win because she did not have an Irish last name. She also had to overcome the fact that no woman had held the position in the city’s history.

Her victory in a special election in 2019, and again two years later, was seen by many as a sign of shifting tides.

“There were a lot of factors against me,” she says over coffee at Abe’s Deli, in the center of the town. “But I think it was pretty clear that the city needed a change candidate,” she adds.

Kamala Harris visits the area on Friday to try to win over the same kind of voters that helped Cognetti win in this key city in the swing state of Pennsylvania. Donald Trump was also there last month. It is no exaggeration to say that her path to the White House runs through these streets.

On his show on Thursday night, the late-night host waded into the damage control efforts by Republicans and Trump allies following his showdown with Kamala Harris on Tuesday night.

RFK Jr was one of many trying to defend Trump’s performance.

As the story goes, a cat owner found her dead pet hanging from a tree ready to be skinned, butchered and eaten at a house said to be occupied by Haitian immigrants.

A scathing report from the Secret Service details failures by agents in the hours leading up to the shooting of Donald Trump -including breakdowns in communication and haphazard securing of the site.

The findings are part of a Secret Service probe into the July 13 shooting at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. The shooting wounded Trump in the ear. It also left one spectator dead and two more hurt.

Gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks was able to climb onto the roof of a building only a few hundred yards away and fire at Trump with an AR-style rifle. Crooks was shot dead by snipers, but not before wounding the Republican nominee for president.

This is not true. There has been no draft since 1973. Enlisting in the service is voluntary. Men 18-25 are already required by law to register for Selective Service.

In June, the House of Representatives passed a measure within the National Defense Authorization Act that would automatically enroll men 18-26 with the Selective Service System.

Trump is an expert on the draft and how to avoid it.
