Former President Donald Trump urged a New Mexico rally on Thursday to not make him “waste a whole damn half a day here,” by voting for his Democratic opponent.
The state hasn’t voted for a Republican on the presidential level since 2004. Trump suggested that he would win a number of Democratic states as long as the vote was “honest” as he continues to make his false election fraud claims.
With less than a week to go in the US presidential election race, Kamala Harris and Trump are making their final pitches to voters.
The Democratic presidential nominee has hit back at her Republican rival after he vowed to “protect” women “whether the women like it or not” at a rally in Green Bay, Wisconsin, on Wednesday.
“Donald Trump thinks he should get to make decisions about what you do with your body. Whether you like it or not,” Harris posted on X.
In a bizarre stunt prior to his speech, Trump had posed in a garbage truck dressed as a sanitation worker in an attempt to troll Harris and Joe Biden after the latter allegedly called MAGA voters “garbage” in anger over comedian Tony Hinchcliffe’s already-notorious Madison Square Garden joke about Puerto Rico.

The candidates continued their sweep across the Sun Belt battleground states on Thursday, with rallies in Arizona and Nevada. Both will then head to the Midwest on Friday.

Meanwhile, back in Henderson, Nevada
Meanwhile, back at the Trump rally, things are going pretty much as expected.
The former president has said he will “put the drug smugglers and human traffickers right out business” if elected and will enforce the death penalty for undocumented immigrants who commit murder.
Referring to Joe Biden’s “garbage” gaffe, Trump says: “How stupid is a man to say that? But she believes it too. I’d love to hear that conversation.”
Returning to the topic a little later, he says: “Two days ago Joe Biden called our supporters ‘garbage’. That’s nasty. I think that’s worse than ‘deplorables’… My supporters are far higher quality than Crooked Joe… My response to Joe and Kamala is simple: you can’t lead America if you don’t love Americans.”

Both Trump and Harris will campaign in Milwaukee tomorrow night
As the 2024 election campaign narrows to just a few battleground states and the clock ticks down to November 5, it is perhaps not entirely surprising to see both Donald Trump and Kamala Harris will be campaigning in Milwaukee in the crucial state of Wisconsin on Friday night.
Former President Trump will be back the FiServ Forum, the site of the Republican National Convention in July, with the program starting at 8pm CT (doors at 4pm).
The “When We Vote We Win Rally” with Vice President Harris features special guest Cardi B featuring performances by DJ GEMINI GILLY, Flo Milli, GloRilla, The Isley Brothers, and MC Lyte. That will take place at the Wisconsin State Fair Exposition Center from 6pm to 10pm CT.

Trump speaking in Henderson, Nevada
Taking to the stage 40 minutes late after an extended playlist of his Broadway favorites, Donald Trump begins his rally: “Five days!… We’re doing great in Nevada.”
“I’d like to start with a very simple question: are you better off now than you were four years ago?”
The crowd responds loudly: “No!”
After accusing Kamala Harris of lying every time she gets on stage, Trump then says: “I feel like I’m the father of IVF.”

Watch: Trump acts out mock Harris and Biden ‘phone call’
Trump acts out mock Harris and Biden ‘phone call’ in new ‘garbage’ dig
Donald Trump acted out a mock “phone call” between Kamala Harris and Joe Biden as he made a new “garbage” dig at his Democrat rivals. Trump acted out the scene in an attempt to troll the vice president and president after the latter allegedly called MAGA voters “garbage” in anger over comedian Tony Hinchcliffe’s already-notorious Madison Square Garden joke about Puerto Rico. Speaking at his New Mexico rally on Thursday (31 October), Trump posed as Harris on the phone. “What the hell are you doing, Joe?”, Trump mocked. “I’m trying, I’m at a big disadvantage. They say I’m not smart and you make it more difficult.”
