Election security updates: CISA says election saw only 'minor' disruptive activities

On Joe Rogan’s podcast, Elon Musk defended various comments Donald Trump has recently faced backlash for, saying he’s being misunderstood.

The two defended Trump’s recent violent rhetoric against former Rep. Liz Cheney, suggesting she should have a rifle "with nine barrels shooting at her," claiming the former president’s comments have been misconstrued.

"A lot of people reached out to me -- they're like, oh, Trump says he wants to execute Liz Cheney. I'm like, that is utter b---s---. That’s not what he said at all. It's not what he said at all," Musk claimed.

"What he's saying is that, look, if Liz Cheney actually had to fight at the front lines, [she] should think twice about going to war. It's easy to be a warmonger if you don't have to, you know, risk dying at the front lines,” Musk said, despite the fact that the backlash Trump faced was about the violent rhetoric itself.

Cheney, a Republican who was once a rising star in her party but lost reelection largely over her vocal criticism of Trump, has endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 election.

The two women have appeared together at several events as Harris works to woo disaffected Republican voters.

For her second rally of the day, Vice President Kamala Harris addressed a crowd of about 15,000 against the backdrop of an old steel mill in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Accompanied by Katy Perry’s power vocals, Harris encouraged supporters to utilize their hard-earned momentum to cross the finish line.

“Pittsburgh, this is it. Tomorrow is Election Day. Tomorrow is Election Day, and the momentum is on our side," she said. "Our campaign has tapped into the ambitions, the aspirations and the dreams of the American people, and we know it is time for a new generation of leadership in America, and I am ready to offer that leadership as the next president of the United States.”

She urged the crowd to “turn the page” to chants of “We’re not going back.”

“And we have an opportunity in this election to finally turn the page on a decade of politics driven by fear and division. We are done with that," she said. "We're done. We're done. We're exhausted with it, and Pittsburgh, we are not going back. We're not going back.”

She continued: “Ours is not a fight against something. It is a fight for something. It is a fight for the future, and it is a fight for freedom, like the fundamental freedom of a woman to make decisions about her own life and not let the government tell her what to do.”

Harris’ fairly brief speech was nearly line-for-line the same as her one in Allentown, Pennsylvania, earlier in the day. Her campaign has said that the speeches are being timed ahead of her next and final stop in Philadelphia.

Harris continued to avoid directly using former President Trump’s name, barely referring to him at all except to acknowledge that voters are ready for a president who doesn’t stew over an “enemies list.”

“We are ready for a president who knows the true measure of a leader is not based on who you beat down, it is based on who you lift up," she said. "And instead of stewing over an enemies list, I will spend every day working on my to-do list. All full of priorities to improve your life.”

In his "closing message" in Pennsylvania, just a day before the 2024 election, former President Donald Trump touted his relationship with Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Trump called the former independent presidential candidate "a credible guy" and said he’s going to be very involved in his administration.

"Bobby Kennedy, you know, he's a credible guy... He's going to be very much involved. You know, he's got a tremendous view on health and pesticides and all this stuff. And we're not really a healthy country," Trump said.

Then Trump said he would allow RFK Jr. "to pretty much do what he wants."

"Bobby's going to pretty much do what he wants. I want him to do something really important for our country, make people healthier," Trump said.

RFK Jr. previously said he would oversee public health agencies in Trump's administration including the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Agriculture.

In a Spanish-language radio interview released Monday, Vice President Kamala Harris again vocalized her support for Puerto Rico.

“My commitment to Puerto Rico is longstanding. Even when I was in the United States Senate as representative of California, I took on a responsibility for myself of also prioritizing the needs of Puerto Rico, because I was aware that Puerto Rico did not have a U.S. senator, and so I was responsible for getting more resources to Puerto Rico," she said in an interview on Univision Radio.

She vowed to continue honoring that commitment "when I am elected president of the United States, God willing, and with the votes of the people listening right now."

She positioned her inclusive approach as a stark contrast to former President Donald Trump's language in recent weeks, which she called "hateful."

“Trump’s comments are hateful [and] are, you know, just furtherance of these tropes that are really unfair and meant to divide and demean people,” she said, citing what Jennifer Lopez said onstage while campaigning for Harris last week.

Harris also called immigration reform “one of [her] highest priorities.”

“The immigration system is just broken,” she said, listing a few of her approaches to fixing it, including securing the border, hiring more asylum judges, creating more humane asylum processes and creating a pathway for "hard-working people" to earn citizenship.
