Harris and Trump campaign on the final weekend before Election Day

Former President Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris targeted the southeast on Saturday, including both candidates holding rallies in North Carolina.

Trump campaigned in Gastonia, North Carolina, and Salem, Virginia, before returning to North Carolina for a rally in Greensboro.

"The United States is now an occupied country ... but it will soon be an occupied country no longer. On November 5th, 2024, it will be Liberation Day in America," Trump said at his Greensboro rally.

Harris, meanwhile, held a rally in Atlanta, Georgia, with director Spike Lee and singer Victoria Monét. She then traveled to Charlotte, North Carolina, for another campaign stop.

On Saturday, a shocking poll found that Harris was leading Trump in Iowa by three points after the former president won the state in 2016 and 2020.

The poll, conducted by pollster J. Ann Selzer, president of Selzer & Co., showed a seven-point shift from September when Trump had a four-point lead over the vice president — 47% to 43% — in the same survey.

"It’s hard for anybody to say they saw this coming," Selzer told The Des Moines Register. "She has clearly leaped into a leading position."

Three years have passed since the Taliban's swift takeover upended Afghanistan.

Women have largely taken up home confinement, and men live in fear of being suspected of aiding the resistance, a charge that could result in death. In the chaos, as the U.S. hastily withdrew, countless Afghan allies were abandoned to an uncertain fate.

While the wall-to-wall press coverage of what’s been called President Biden’s "Saigon moment" has largely quieted down, the Afghan diaspora living in the U.S. has not forgotten relatives in the homeland.

Zoubair Sangi helped found a movement for the Afghan diaspora to unite and bring a sense of betrayal by the Biden administration to the ballot box with the new advocacy group Afghans for Trump.

"If you were to ask [Afghans in Afghanistan], would you want a continuation of the last three years, which has been the failed policy of the Biden-Harris administration? They would say no because their lives are miserable right now," Sangi told Fox News Digital.

"It's been three years where women can't go to school. Terrorism has been on the rise. We have the attacking of ethnic and religious minorities," Sangi added.

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, a Democrat, said she is "optimistic" about the election, which is just days away, but stresses that there is still work to be done until polls close on Tuesday.

"I'm optimistic. I'm very clear, though, we've got to make sure we continue the work all the way through the close of the polls," Whitmer told Fox 17. "There are a lot of folks in this state who are good, hard-working people who've not yet made their plan to vote, or maybe are still trying to figure out who to vote for. That’s why our 'Get Out The Vote' effort is so important to have those conversations with trusted community members. Every one of us can make a difference."

The Democratic governor of the crucial battleground state also laid out her final pitch for Vice President Kamala Harris, emphasizing the GOP endorsements Harris has received and the vice president's pledge to give Republicans a seat at the table.

"We want and need leaders who want to solve problems and get things done, who will make a seat at the table for people who aren't dyed-in-the-wool Democrats," the governor said. "That's why I'm so grateful Kamala Harris has gotten the endorsements of so many Republicans, that [state Rep.] John Fitzgerald has also been overwhelmingly supported by people on both sides of the aisle."

"We need leaders who actually see everyone, who want to solve problems, roll up our sleeves and move Michigan forward," she continued. "This isn't about retribution against people who disagree with us, like you see on the other side. This is about building a Michigan and building a United States where every person can get ahead, and that's why we need people like John Fitzgerald all the way up to Kamala Harris and everyone in between on this ballot."

Democratic Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez attacked the Green Party presidential ticket after the party's vice presidential nominee, Butch Ware, spoke out against transgender athletes in women's sports.

"I don’t think that biological males should play in female sports," Ware said in a video posted to X by lawyer and columnist Olayemi Olurin. "I think it gives an unfair, you know, competitive advantage."

Ocasio-Cortez responded to the video, labeling the ticket "predatory."

"Like I said. This ticket is predatory and people deserve better," she wrote.

Ocasio-Cortez has attacked the Green Party throughout the election cycle, previously calling it "predatory." The congresswoman spoke out against the party and its presidential candidate, Jill Stein, during an Instagram Q&A in early September.

"If all you do is show up once every four years to speak to people who are justifiably pissed off, but you’re just showing up once every four years to do that, you’re not serious. To me, it does not read as authentic. It reads as predatory," she said.

"What I have a problem with is the fact that if you’re running for president, you are the de facto leader of your party. And if you run for years and years and years and years in a row, and your party has not grown and you don’t add city council seats, and you don’t add down-ballot candidates, and you don’t add state electeds, that’s bad leadership. That, to me, is what is upsetting," she added.

Stein responded to Ocasio-Cortez's September comments in her own social media post on X.

"Clearly AOC is the attack dog du jour, and the Democrats are running scared. And they should be, because who wants to support a genocide? Who wants to vote for a genocide?" Stein said in the video. "If there’s anything that’s predatory here, it’s saying that your candidate is ‘working tirelessly for a cease-fire’ when actually they are actively funding and arming genocide and actually refusing to even consider an arms embargo, which would bring the genocide to a screeching halt."

Early voting has had such a high turnout in Georgia that more than 4 million ballots were cast before Election Day on Tuesday.

With more than 50% of voters in the state having already cast their ballots, a state election official says it could be a "ghost town" at the polls on Election Day.

"There’s a possibility it could be a ghost town on Election Day," Gabe Sterling, chief operating officer for Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, said, according to Fox 5 Atlanta. "We had less than a million show up during COVID in 2020 with all the uses of pre-Election Day voting."

Early voting records have been shattered in other states across the country as well, including battleground states but also others.

Former President Trump, who criticized early and absentee voting in 2020 and 2022 and instead urged voting on Election Day, has encouraged early voting this year. Republicans now have a high early vote turnout compared to the last two elections, when they largely voted on Election Day. Republicans also have increased absentee voting but to a lesser extent.

"This was the most successful Early Voting period in Georgia history because voters trust the process," Raffensperger said in a statement. "Four years of progress brought us here. We’re battle-tested and ready, regardless of what the critics say. And we’re going to hold those who interfere in our elections accountable."

Vivek Ramaswamy crashed a MAGA party in the parking lot at Beaver Stadium before Penn State's loss to Ohio State Saturday.

Ramaswamy was cheered when he arrived at a tailgate event hosted by Real America's Voice.

Ramaswamy, an Ohio native, was greeted with trash talk by the local Penn State crowd but embraced any outcome of the game as "national unity." Ramaswamy got the last laugh when Ohio State won 20-13.

More important to the MAGA crowd was the state of former President Trump's re-election bid. Pennsylvania is a key swing state and arguably the most vital state on the electoral map this time around. Ramaswamy expressed optimism about Trump's chances based on early voting numbers.

"The early voting numbers are looking pretty good, but most of the people I've talked to haven't voted yet, our way," Ramaswamy said.

In 2020, Democrats led Republicans 70.9% to 20% in early voting in Pennsylvania. So far in the 2024 cycle, 56.9% of Democrats and 32.4% of Republicans have voted early.

President Biden won Pennsylvania in the 2020 election by just over 2%.

Hundreds turned out to participate in the Woman's March in Massachusetts ahead of Election Day, in a strong show of support for Vice President Kamala Harris and abortion access.

People marched on Boston Common, holding signs that read, "We won't go back" and "Abortion is health care." Some men joined with them.

The women's march happened in Boston, as well as in Washington, D.C., and in Kansas City, Missouri.

Speakers urged people to vote in the election — highlighting that abortion is on the ballot in nine states.

"How many of you are going to vote on Tuesday? How many of you can’t wait to wake up to a woman president?" Rev. Dr. Deborah Haffner, of First Unitarian Universalist Society in Newton, Massachusetts, asked.

Tracy Murphy told NBC 10 Boston that she organized the women's march because she wanted to give it her all no matter who wins.

"Today’s message is that we want everybody to vote," Murphy said.

Vice President Kamala Harris made a cameo on the final episode of "Saturday Night Live" before Tuesday's election alongside her impersonator on the show.

Harris appeared as the "mirror image" on Saturday night of herself, portrayed by Maya Rudolph, at the end of the cold open that poked fun at Donald Trump wearing a sanitation vest at a rally this week, as well as Joe Biden's repeated gaffes.

Rudolph's Harris wondered, "I wish I could talk to someone who’s been in my shoes. You know, a Black, south Asian woman running for president. Preferably from the Bay Area."

Harris then was revealed to be sitting across the table from her, leading to huge cheers from the audience. Harris grinned and said, "You and me both, sister."

Harris then took a shot at Trump, saying, "I'm just here to remind you, you got this. Because you can do something your opponent cannot do. You can open doors."

Trump was seen struggling for a moment to open the door of the garbage truck he talked to reporters from this week. The garbage truck and vest were meant to draw attention to Biden's suggestion this week that Trump's supporters were "garbage."

Rudolph poked fun at Harris' distinctive laugh, leading Harris to ask, "I don't really laugh like that, do I?"

"A little bit," Rudolph responded.

Vice President Kamala Harris was at a rally in Ann Arbor, Michigan, where she brought out singer-songwriter Maggie Rogers in an attempt to fire up college-age supporters.

Rogers told the crowd at the rally and concert in the battleground state that doing something like voting is "greater than fear" at a time when "the future feels so uncertain," according to The Associated Press.

"We have an opportunity to turn the page and chart a new and joyful way forward," Harris said at the rally on Oct. 28.

Thousands were in attendance at Burns Park, where Rogers performed some of her hit songs, including "Love You for a Long Time." Rogers said in between sets that the headlines she has seen are "terrifying."

"The future feels so uncertain and I don’t always know what to do with that feeling," Rogers said.

"Voting is the key to the future," she added.

The campaign website of former President Trump published a memo about the Des Moines Register's shocking poll published on Saturday, which claimed that Vice President Harris held a strong lead in Iowa.

The memo, which was written by RNC pollsters, concluded that the poll was a "clear outlier."

"Emerson College, released today, far more closely reflects the state of the actual Iowa electorate and does so with far more transparency in their methodology," the memo read.

"To their credit, the Emerson College poll has an R+4 party split (below 2020 exit polls at R+10), and a Trump +8 recalled 2020 vote margin that aligns with reported returns," the experts explained. "Emerson shows Trump ahead of Harris 53-43 in their survey. In the outlier Des Moines Register poll, they claim Harris leads with seniors (age 65+) by 19 points (55-36). In 2020, President Trump carried seniors 54-45 over Biden according to CNN exit polls."

Vice President Kamala Harris leads former President Donald Trump by three points in the final Des Moines Register-sponsored poll of Iowa three days before the election.

The shock poll showed a seven-point shift from Trump to Harris from September when he had a four-point lead over the vice president (47% to 43%) in the same poll. 

"It’s hard for anybody to say they saw this coming," pollster J. Ann Selzer, president of Selzer & Co., who conducted the poll, told the newspaper on Saturday. "She has clearly leaped into a leading position."

According to sources who spoke with the Associated Press and New York Post, the Democratic nominee will appear in the show's cold open in the final episode Saturday night before Tuesday's election.

Rust Belt autoworkers, traditionally a cornerstone of the blue voting base, are not casting their votes for Vice President Kamala Harris this time around, the founder of Auto Workers for Trump 2024 insisted.

Brian Pannebecker, founder of Auto Workers for Trump 2024, spoke to a roaring crowd of former President Trump at a rally in Warren, Michigan, on Friday – just days before the presidential election.

"We're not voting for Kamala Harris... Don't believe anything you see Shawn Fain talking about," he said. "The autoworkers — UAW members — are voting for Donald Trump for president!"

A judge in Georgia on Saturday dismissed a Republican lawsuit that sought to block voters from hand-returning mail-in ballots in the state over the weekend.

The lawsuit centered around officials in Fulton County, a Democratic stronghold, opening normally closed country offices on Saturday and Sunday to allow voters to hand in their ballots.

Five other Democratic-leaning counties in the state also announced that county offices would be open over the weekend.

Kamala Harris's presidential campaign posted a video message from actor Harrison Ford on Saturday.

"Look, I've been voting for 64 years. Never really wanted to talk about it very much," Ford says in the video. "But when dozens of former members of the Trump administration are sounding alarms saying, 'For God's sake, don't do this again,' you have to pay attention. They're telling us something important."

The "Indiana Jones" star claimed that Harris would "protect your right to disagree with her about policies."

"The other guy, he demands unquestioning loyalty since he wants revenge," Ford said.

"I'm Harrison Ford. I've got one vote, same as anyone else, and I'm going to use it to move forward. I'm going to vote for Kamala Harris."

Former President Trump promised to "keep men out of women's sports," during a rally in Salem, Virginia, on Saturday, and was then joined by seven female student swimmers.

"Last year, the radical left's gender insanity arrived right here in Salem when a man was allowed to transfer onto the Roanoke College women's swim team," Trump said, causing boos in the audience.

"And I just met them backstage. They're great swimmers. I didn't notice a male on that particular team... I don't understand what's happening, but I didn't see any males on that team, believe me," he joked.

Trump commended the "brave" members of the swim team and called them up to the stage. One swimmer named Lily Mullens took the podium.

"Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have advocated for. and pushed for, this anti-woman sex-based discrimination to continue all over this country," the student athlete said. "And point blank, it's unfair. So I would like to thank you, President Trump, for standing with women and promising to protect the rights of all of us."

The wife of Montreal Canadiens star goaltender Carey Price is calling out her critics after she announced her vote for former President Donald Trump on social media this week, adding that she has "reservations" about Vice President Kamala Harris becoming the first female President of the United States.

Angela Price held a Q&A session on her Instagram Stories on Friday, where she answered a range of questions spanning politics, health and her clothing brand. But a majority of questions were about her blunt admission that she had already voted for Trump in the upcoming election. 

"Are you actually going to vote for Donald Trump," one question read. "Already did," she responded.
