Closing summary

This blog is closed – thanks for following along. Here is a summary of today’s key developments:

  • Kamala Harris’s interview on Call Her Daddy with Alex Cooper aired on Sunday. The host, whose podcast targets a diverse set of audiences, and the vice-president discussed issues revolving around abortion, reproductive healthcare, housing and student debt relief.

  • Donald Trump delivered his roughly two-hour speech at a rally in Juneau, Wisconsin. The former president was standing behind barriers of bulletproof glass, which is now a standard US Secret Service practice at outdoor rallies.

  • Arizona senator Mark Kelly criticized Elon Musk during an interview on CNN’s State of the Union for supporting Donald Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania this weekend.

  • President Joe Biden ordered 500 more troops to assist with Hurricane Helene relief efforts. The troops will move into western North Carolina and assist with the response and recovery efforts after the deadly and devastating Hurricane Helene.

  • Tim Walz said during his appearance on Fox News this morning that Donald Trump’s agenda would destroy the US economy, while he supported Kamala Harris’s plan to lower costs and stimulate job growth.

Updated

Kamala Harris finished her interview with Call Her Daddy’s Alex Cooper by pledging to fight for student debt relief and listing key issues she hopes to address if she’s elected president.

“I care about making sure that people are entitled to and receive the freedoms that they are due,” Harris said. “I care about lifting people up and making sure that you are protected from harm. I care about tapping into the ambitions and the aspirations of people knowing that we are capable of so much.”
