Former President Donald Trump made sensationalized claims about Venezuelan gang members allegedly taking over the city of Aurora, Colorado, during a campaign rally in Reno, Nevada. Trump accused Vice President Kamala Harris of supporting a Venezuelan prison gang known as Tren de Aragua, which he claimed had seized control of an entire apartment complex in Aurora. He likened the gang members to himself in the real estate business, but noted their use of weapons.
Trump also criticized Democratic Colorado Governor Jared Polis, without naming him directly, for being hesitant to confront the gang members. Polis responded by stating that he was pleased to divert Trump's attention from his actual opponent, Vice President Harris, emphasizing that he was not on the ballot.
During the rally, Trump took aim at CBS News for allegedly editing an interview with Harris on '60 Minutes.' He urged his supporters in Nevada, where early voting was ongoing, to submit their ballots promptly.
