Trump slammed by Giuliani’s daughter as Vance and Walz prepare to go head-to-head at VP debate: Live

As part of his frankly opportunistic attacks on Biden and Harris over the federal response to the deadly storm that has claimed at least 133 lives in America’s southeastern states, the Republican presidential nominee has set up a GoFundMe page that is already well past its $1m goal.

This gentleman raises a valid point, however.

Republican organizers in battleground states are worried that the Trump campaign isn’t doing enough to drive GOP turnout, as Kamala Harris tains a roughly three per cent lead in national polls and similar margins in battleground states.

GOP operatives told Politico that the Trump campaign’s tactics to reach voters, relying heavily on super PACs and an army of “Trump Force 47” volunteers to knock on doors and get out the vote, hasn’t made as much of a dent as they would’ve wished in key toss-up states like Michigan and Nevada.

“There’s really no organization,” a Republican operative in Nevada told the outlet.

“He comes out, they scramble to do a rally… but after that, there’s just really nothing else.”

Several prominent GOP members have sought to distance themselves from “insulting” comments made by Trump in which he claimed Kamala Harris is “mentally disabled.”

Many Republicans have urged the former president to “stick to the issues” of his campaign, rather than reverting time and time again to personal attacks on his Democratic rival.

During a rally in Wisconsin on Saturday, Trump claimed Harris was “mentally disabled” and “mentally impaired.”

Here’s how Kamala is plotting to take the fight to her rival over his inability to offer a coherent policy on one of the most fundamental concerns of American voters.

As Republicans and Democrats gear up for the vice presidential debate tonight, exclusive polling reveals the upcoming encounter between Walz and Vance has the potential to change everything.

Two-thirds of Democrats believe the VP candidate has a significant impact on the overall presidential ticket, according to polling from Prolific for The Independent, and three in four Americans say they will be tuning in.

Joe Biden is among those sending birthday wishes to the peanut farmer from Plains, Georgia, who became America’s 39th commander-in-chief as he hits his centenary today, a truly remarkable feat.

I guess this account has no more worlds left to conquer…

The Democratic National Committee has been trolling the Republican ticket ahead of tonight’s face-off between Walz and Vance in the Big Apple by projecting anti-Trump slogans onto the exterior of the nominee’s signature building, including his own running mate’s October 2016 verdict that he is, in fact, an idiot.

Here’s the latest from last night’s Daily Show…

…and here’s James Liddell with a full report.

This was utterly ridiculous from The Donald in Georgia yesterday – and a rather unwise visual reminder of the last wall he left unfinished.

Republicans like Minnesota congressman Tom Emmer have been bragging ahead of tonight’s showdown that JD Vance will “wipe the floor with Tim Walz”, calling his state governor “a total fraud” who will try to deploy his “Minnesota nice” persona to fend off attacks about Kamala Harris’s “open-border and soft-on-crime” policy positions.

Big talk, but rather at odds with what Trump himself had to say to Kellyanne Conway on Fox Nation yesterday…
