Election 2024 live updates: Trump to rally in deep-red part of Wisconsin as new poll shows tighter race than expected in Florida and Texas
Former President Donald Trump will rally supporters in Mosinee, Wisconsin on Saturday during an event that’s supposed to focus on the economy.
It’s his first visit to the deep-red, mostly rural part of the important swing state. Trump is scheduled to speak at 2pm ET at Central Wisconsin Airport.
This comes as new polling shows that Florida and Texas are within the margin of error. The Emerson College Polling/The Hill poll released on Friday has Trump leading Harris in Florida by five points, 50 to 45 percent, and by four points in Texas, 50 to 46 percent.
Meanwhile, former vice president Dick Cheney, a staunch Republican, has vowed to vote for Kamala Harris in November.
His daughter, former congresswoman Liz Cheney said her father believes “there’s never been an individual in our country who is as great of a threat to our democracy as Donald Trump is.”
Governor Tim Walz will speak at the Human Rights Campaign Annual National Dinner in Washington, DC on Saturday night.
Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff will speak at a team Harris-Walz Weekend of Action canvass launch in Allentown, Pennsylvania at 12.25pm ET before delivering remarks at a Latinos Con Harris-Walz campaign event at 1.45pm.
Crypto No! Allies worry about Trump family’s ventures into digital currency
Months after Donald Trump and his eldest sons were found liable for civil fraud associated with a family business, the Trumps have sparked new concerns with a growing family venture — cryptocurrency.

Can Kamala Harris beat Donald Trump? Latest poll updates
It is now less than two months until Vice President Kamala Harris will go head-to-head with Donald Trump as Americans cast their votes in the 2024 election, after she replaced President Joe Biden on the Democratic ticket in July.
Fresh polls suggest that Harris may be sweeping up elusive independent voters; though races in the swing states are still too close to call, with Harris and Trump neck and neck in Pennsylvania.
So how will Harris actually fare against Trump in November?

‘She needs to let Trump be Trump’: Inside Kamala Harris’s unconventional debate prep
Less than three months ago, a disastrous debate performance by President Joe Biden put Kamala Harris on a collision course with Donald Trump.
Now at the top of the Democratic ticket, Harris’s first public face-off with Trump on the ABC debate stage in Philadelphia is just days away. Right now, she is hunkered down in Pittsburgh for intensive preparations with a close circle of aides and confidantes who are getting her ready for her best — and perhaps only — chance to convince Americans that she, and not the former president, should spend the next four years in the White House.
According to NOTUS, the vice president will be participating in sessions led by Paul, Weiss partner Karen Dunn, the Washington super-lawyer who masterminded then-Senator Harris’s prep for her 2020 debate against her predecessor, Mike Pence. Harris will also reportedly be coached by her veteran policy adviser Rohini Kosoglu, as well as Democratic National Convention mastermind and longtime operative Minyon Moore; domestic policy aide Brian Nelson; campaign chief-of-staff Sheila Nix; veteran adviser Sean Clegg; and Cedric Richmond, the former Louisiana congressman who is a co-chair of her campaign.

A surge of Black women and young people registering to vote in Pennsylvania spells trouble for Trump
New voter registrations surged among Black women and young people in Pennsylvania when Kamala Harris became the Democratic nominee for president, according to newly released data.
In the week that Joe Biden announced he would not run for re-election, new registrations increased by 262 percent among Black women under 30 compared to the same week in 2020.
Registrations among Black voters increased by 110 percent, and among voters under 30 years old by 59 percent, also compared to the same week in 2020.
Pennsylvania sees surge in Black women and young people registering to vote
‘This data is suggesting that women, younger voters, voters of color, and then especially younger women of color are going to vote at a much higher rate than they did in 2020,’ one strategist says, predicting that it could have ‘a significant potential impact on the outcome of this election’
