Latest election 2024: With a week to go, Harris travels to Washington and Trump rushes into Pennsylvania

Vice President Kamala Harris will deliver her campaign's “closing statement” on Tuesday at the same location in Washington where former President Donald Trump helped incite a mob that attacked the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.

A week before Election Day, Harris' address on the grassy Ellipse near the White House is intended to encourage Americans to imagine their alternative futures if she or Trump take the Oval Office in less than three months.

Trump will deliver what his campaign is calling an “address to the press” at 10 a.m. at his private club and residence in Palm Beach, Florida. It's unclear whether the Republican will answer questions. He will travel to Pennsylvania later in the day to attend an event in Drexel about “Building America's Future” and attend a rally in Allentown on Tuesday evening.

In the final days of the election, Arab American voters are making their choice – Harris, Trump or neither

DEARBORN, Mich. – Bowls of labneh and platters of za'atar bread covered the tables at a Lebanese restaurant near Detroit, but no one seemed to have much of an appetite.

On one side were Kamala Harris' top emissaries to the Arab American community. On the other hand, local leaders explained – once again – why many in the community could not vote for vice president because of the war in Gaza.

“I love this country, but I tell you, we have never been more disappointed in this country than we are now,” said Nabih H. Ayad, president of the Arab American Civil Rights League. “We wanted to give the Democratic Party a chance to do something, and they didn’t do that.”

“The only line we cannot cross,” Ayad said, “is genocide.”

Republicans are working to win over pro-Trump Jewish voters in swing states to narrow the Democrats' lead

WEST BLOOMFIELD, Mich. – Rachel Weinberg describes herself first as a religious Jew, then as a proud American. She said she only has one choice for president: Donald Trump.

“I don’t like everything he says,” the 72-year-old retired Michigan preschool teacher said after volunteer canvassers from the Republican Jewish Coalition knocked on her door Sunday. “But I vote for Israel. It is our life. I support Israel. Trump supports Israel with his mouth and his actions.”

Weinberg's home in West Bloomfield in vote-rich Oakland County was among more than 20 homes the Republican Jewish Coalition visited that morning. She also voted for Trump in previous elections.

The door-to-door outreach to Jewish voters who have historically supported Republicans is part of a new initiative the group is undertaking this year in five battleground states in hopes of defeating Trump in the Nov. 5 election against the Democrat Kamala Harris.
