Vance continues to harp on 'garbage' comments at New Hampshire rally

Sen. JD Vance held a rally in Derry, New Hampshire, on Sunday in the final stretch of the 2024 presidential election.

The vice presidential candidate's event in New Hampshire was the liveliest and most enthusiastic solo campaign event he has had since joining the Republican ticket, with people outside of the event who couldn’t get in due to space.

In his pitch to voters, Vance continued to remind people that President Joe Biden called Trump supporters "garbage," falsely claiming that Harris is also attacking Trump supporters.

"Here's my message to all of our fellow Americans: We know you're struggling, and we know that you deserve better leadership, but I will never and Donald J. Trump will never call our fellow citizens garbage. We are not garbage for thinking Kamala Harris has done a bad job," Vance said.

Harris doesn't mention Trump by name during Michigan rally

While addressing a crowd of mostly young people on the Michigan State University campus, Vice President Kamala Harris chose to not mention her opponent, former President Donald Trump, by name.

The decision is something she hasn't often done since becoming the Democratic nominee for president.

A senior campaign official told ABC News it's part of a strategy to close out the race in a "fully positive" manner.

"So, Michigan, I am here to ask for your vote," Harris said at the East Lansing rally, just two days before Election Day.

"And here is my pledge to you: As president, I pledge to seek common ground and common-sense solutions to the challenges you face," she added. "I am not looking to score political points. I am looking to make progress."

Trump loses crowd after arriving 2 hours late to North Carolina rally

At his second campaign stop of the day, former President Donald Trump lost the crowd after arriving two hours late to his rally -- with a massive number of people leaving just minutes into his speech.

It’s common to see supporters trickling out toward the end of his speeches, but the surge of supporters that headed for the exit at this rally, especially so early on, was unprecedented.

Hundreds of people continued to leave the rally throughout his speech, even those seated in the prime bleacher spots right behind Trump. Seated sections noticeably thinned out, and the standing section only had a few rows of people.

Many people exiting said they were leaving early because they had other commitments to get to or had just been standing outside in the sun for too long.
