Obama appeals to undecided voters on last day of early voting in Wisconsin

In Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on Sunday, -- last day of early voting in the state -- former President Barack Obama continued to pitch Vice President Kamala Harris to undecided voters, while blasting former President Trump and addressing recent discourse about the Affordable Care Act.

"So in these last three days, I hope you are talking to people who are still undecided. I hope the conversation isn't just about policy," Obama implored the energetic crowd during his rally Sunday afternoon in Milwaukee, emphasizing the importance of values and a "moral compass" in this election.

"One of the most disturbing things about this election -- not just this election, but Trump's entire rise in politics, you can see it just pervading our political culture -- is how we seem to have just set aside those values that we were taught," Obama said.

Obama also jumped to defend the Affordable Care Act that was enacted during his presidency, also known as Obamacare, following recent suggestions that the Republican ticket would conduct "massive reform" of the healthcare act.

“If you ask Donald Trump what he's going to do to make healthcare more affordable, he's got one answer, and that is to repeal the Affordable Care Act," Obama said. "And he's not by himself. The other day, the Speaker of the House, the Republican Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, said there would be 'no Obamacare,' if Trump wins."

Obama also continued to make jabs at Trump throughout his speech, saying he got rich because he was "given $400 million by his daddy," claiming he would call his chauffeur rather than changing his own tire, and mocking Trump's infamous "concepts of a plan" line.

RFK Jr. says Trump has 'assured' him a job in the White House

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said Sunday that former President Donald Trump has “assured” him a job in the White House, though which position has not been determined.

Kennedy, speaking to Fox News’ Martha MacCallum, said the Trump team has been “very, very accommodating to give me what I want.”

Kennedy, a presidential candidate-turned-Trump surrogate, was responding to comments by Trump’s transition co-chair Howard Lutnick, who told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins last week that Kennedy would not be secretary of Health and Human Services.

“That is not true. The campaign has walked back those statements by Howard Lutnick, and he himself has disavowed those statements,” Kennedy said.

Asked by MacCallum if he could be selected to be head of HHS, Kennedy said, “We don’t know what I’m going to do.”

ABC News reported last week that Kennedy has floated to Trump the [names of several people](https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/video/rfk-jr-recommends-vaccine-skeptic-lead-hhs-115408893that he believes could lead the agency.

“I talked to the president yesterday and he asked me what I wanted, and I said we’re developing a proposal now," Kennedy said.

Kennedy added, "I want to be in the White House and he’s assured me that I’m going to have that. But I want to be in the position where I’m most effective to end the chronic disease epidemic and I’m confident that if I wanted to do HHS secretary, the president would fight like hell to make that happen.”

Vance pulls out $5,000 cash to make a point on inflation

During a campaign event on Sunday, Trump running mate Sen. JD Vance pulled out $5,000 in cash to demonstrate what he claims is how much more expensive things have gotten for the average American under the Biden-Harris administration.

“I brought this just to illustrate how much Kamala Harris's inflation has cost us," Vance said at a campaign event in Sanford, North Carolina, as he displayed the wad of cash. "This is $5,000 right here. This is five months of Kamala Harris' inflation; every North Carolina family is paying this in additional grocery prices and additional rent prices and additional offices."

Holding up the money, Vance told the crowd, "Ask yourselves, how much bigger is this stack going to be with 48 months of Kamala Harris' leadership? The answer is it's going to be way too high."

Vance then went on to say that Trump would rather give the $5,000 to the American people as a tax cut.
