Supreme court rejects Republican bid to throw out thousands of Pennsylvania ballots; Harris takes stage in Milwaukee – live | US elections 2024

“You were a very difficult state,” Trump says of Wisconsin, talking about how hard the state was for him to win in 2016, and then falsely claiming that he actually won the state again in 2020. (He did not.)

The AP has a fact check of Trump’s comments just now on the economy, and what his comments leave out: two major hurricanes as well as big strikes.

Donald Trump is saying that the US jobs report today, which showed that employers added 12,000 jobs in October, showed that the Biden-Harris administration is failing on the economy. Last month’s hiring gain was down significantly from the 223,000 jobs that were added in September.

“This is like a depression,” Trump said of the numbers as he heaped insults on Harris.

Economists estimate that Hurricanes Helene and Milton, combined with strikes at Boeing and elsewhere, pushed down net job growth by tens of thousands of jobs in October.

Kamala Harris appears to be wrapping up her speech, urging her supporters to remind everyone they know to vote, and to reach out to people through text and conversation.

“Let’s please be intentional about building community,” she adds. “There’s something intentional about this whole Trump era. It’s been powered by this idea that Americans should be pointing fingers at each other, and to make people feel alone and to make people feel small, when we all know we have so much more in common than what separates us.”

“I love Gen Z. I really do,” Kamala Harris laughs, talking about “all the younger leaders I see who are voting for the very first time.”

“Here’s what I love about you guys. You are rightly impatient for change. I love that about you. You are determined to live free from gun violence. You are going to take on the climate crisis. You are going to shape the world you inherit. I know that. I know that.”

“And here’s the thing about our young leaders. None of this is theoretical for them. None of this is political for them. It’s their lived experience. It’s your lived experience, and I see your power, I see your power, and I am so proud of you.”

“I see her today … she’s exhausted. She looks like … she’s exhausted,” Trump says of Kamala Harris, at his Milwaukee rally.

Harris is simultaneously speaking very energetically to her cheering crowd a few miles away.

Both Trump and Harris are performing with a surprising deal of energy tonight after a long day of travel and multiple swing state events.

Here’s a link to watch Trump speak live at his Milwaukee rally tonight:

The crowd at Trump’s rally has been frustrated with the sound levels in the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, even chanting earlier, “Fix the mic!” the Associated Press reports.

Trump eventually got the message and ripped the microphone from the podium to hold it closer to his mouth. “I think this mic stinks,” Trump said.

Trump has been jumping from topic to topic, mentioning that this is his third campaign rally today, then referencing his rally at New York’s Madison Square Garden nearly a week ago, and then hurling insults at his Democratic rival.

In two different venues across Milwaukee and its suburbs, both Donald Trump and Kamala Harris’ Wisconsin crowds have been waiting hours to hear the candidates speak, and both crowds sound fired up and enthusiastic.

“When I win … you are four days away from the best jobs, the biggest paychecks, and the brightest economic future the world has ever seen,” Trump tells his Milwaukee crowd, to big cheers.

He said that if Harris wins, the country will sink into a “1929-style depression.”

“I love Wisconsin,” Kamala Harris says, praising the state’s motto, “Forward.”

“I’m not giving Donald Trump a second chance,” Cardi B says. “I am not taking any chances with my future, and I damn sure ain’t taking no chances with the future of my children.

“I’m with Kamala.”

“We all knew Trump was a hustler … but hustling women out of their rights to their body is nasty work. Hustling Americans out of their hard-earned money by selling Trump watches, Trump sneakers, Trump Bibles … is nasty too,” Cardi B says.

“Do we really trust this man with our economy?” Cardi B asks. “Today it’s your wallet, tomorrow it will be your healthcare rights.”

“Speaking of healthcare, let’s talk about it … Did you hear what Donnie Trump said the other day?” Cardi B asks.

“He said he’s going to protect women whether they like it or not.”

“Donnie don’t, please. Protection for women, especially if we’re talking about maternal and mental healthcare, isn’t telling them what to do with their bodies. It’s supporting and giving them the care they need for what they choose to do with their bodies.”

“People like Donald Trump don’t believe women deserve rights. And when those rights are taken away, they are nowhere to be found.”

“When a mother’s doing through postpartum, he’s not there to hold her hand. When a child is in foster care or in a shelter because their mother is not mentally stable or financially stable to take care of them, they’re not there … they’re all gone.”

“Trump says he’s going to protect women whether they like it or not. Well, if his definition of protection is not the freedom of choice, if his definition of protection is making sure our daughters have fewer rights than our mothers, then I don’t want it! I don’t want it! I don’t want it.”

More from Cardi B’s speech about Kamala Harris:

“I believe in every word that comes out of her mouth. She’s passionate. She’s compassionate. She shows empathy, and most of all she is not delusional.”

“Just like Kamala Harris, I, too, have been the underdog, I’ve been underestimated. My success belittled and discredited,” Cardi B says.

“Let me tell you something: women have to work ten times harder, perform ten times better, and still people question us, how we got to the top. They’ll be like: how she got there?”

“Let me tell you something: I can’t stand a bully. But just like Kamala, I always stand up to one. All the time, I’m ready for them.”

“Ima be real with you all. I wasn’t going to vote this year. I wasn’t. But Kamala Harris joining the race, she changed my mind. Completely. I did not have faith on any candidate until she joined the race and said the things that I wanted to hear.”

“I’ve been waiting for this moment my whole life,” Cardi B tells Harris supporters in Milwaukee. “Are we ready to make history?” she asks. The crowd cheers.

Reading off a cellphone, Cardi B says, “I do not take lightly the call to show up. The call to speak up. The call to deliver a message that’s been on my heart for a hot minute now.”
