Donald Trump delivered a speech in Erie, Pennsylvania, where he repeated similar remarks to his rally on Saturday, calling Kamala Harris “mentally impaired”. He also reinstated his anti-immigrant proposals and his support for fracking in the state of Pennsylvania.
Larry Hogan, a Republican Senate candidate in Maryland, criticized Trump’s recent remarks calling Harris “mentally impaired” during an interview on CBS’s Face the Nation on Sunday. Also, Republican senator Lindsey Graham said that he did not think Harris was mentally impaired during an interview with CNN.
Jeff Flake, a former Republican senator from Arizona who recently left his position as US ambassador to Turkey, announced his endorsement of Harris for president.
Although Kamala Harris has a lead over Donald Trump among Latino voters, Democrats’ advantage over Republicans with Latinos is lower than it was in the past four presidential races, according to an NBC News/Telemundo/CNBC poll released Sunday.
The rules are set for the vice presidential candidates Ohio Senator JD Vance and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as they prepare to take the debate stage on Tuesday.

Kamala Harris’s campaign is trying to reel in younger voters by painting Donald Trump’s tariff-centric economic plan as a threat to tequila.
The Harris campaign recently launched “Trump’s Tequila Tax”, a social media campaign aimed at linking the former president’s proposed 10-to-20% universal tariff plan on all imported goods.
One Instagram video captioned “pov: you’re buying tequila” shows Trump pointing at the camera filmer with the words “20% tax” popping up.
