Harris visits Puerto Rican restaurant in Pennsylvania
Vice President Kamala Harris visited a Puerto Rican restaurant in Reading, Pennsylvania, Monday night, accompanied by the state's governor, Josh Shapiro, and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York.
A woman, who appeared to be the owner of the restaurant, Old San Juan Cafe, showed Harris a spread of food.
The vice president joked, "I’m very hungry. I don’t get a chance to eat as often as I’d like."
Later, Harris and Ocasio-Cortez huddled with the restaurant owner to discuss the rapid growth of Latino-owned small businesses.

Joe Rogan endorses Donald Trump for president
Joe Rogan has endorsed former President Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election.
The podcast host's endorsement accompanied the release of a three-hour-long interview with Elon Musk, making the case for his support for Trump.
"The great and powerful @elonmusk. If it wasn't for him we'd be f-----. He makes what I think is the most compelling case for Trump you'll hear, and I agree with him every step of the way," Rogan wrote.
"For the record, yes, that's an endorsement of Trump. Enjoy the podcast," he continued.
Michelle Obama to young voters: ‘You have to vote for Kamala Harris’
Michelle Obama went on social media to share a “message to all the young people out there,” encouraging them to vote for Vice President Kamala Harris as the next president of the United States.
“Look, I know it’s easy to feel what we do doesn’t matter. Like the world’s problems are too big and complicated to tackle. Like nothing’s ever going to change at all," she said in a video, pointing to contentious issues like reproductive health rights and climate change.
"That’s exactly why you have to vote: because we need a better leader than Donald Trump. We simply cannot afford another four years of his incompetence, weakness, and division," she added.
The former first lady goes on to say that Harris is the opposite — suggesting that the Democratic presidential candidate will "expand your freedoms" and "protect the planet."
"While he denigrates anyone who is different than him, while he looks out only for himself, Kamala will be a president for all Americans. I know she will listen to you. And that’s why you have to vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz on November the 5th,” she said, before urging young people to make a plan to vote on Election Day.

In closing message, Trump sets the stage to challenge election results
In what campaign aides are classifying as his "closing message" speech, former President Donald Trump is already setting expectations for his supporters to challenge the results of the election, saying Vice President Kamala Harris only has a 4% chance of winning the race.
"So based on what I'm hearing -- she's at 4%. And so we never want to take anything for granted. But we're really doing well," Trump said during his rally in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Trump again falsely accused Democrats of cheating in the 2024 election, but added that it's "too big to rig."
“I do believe it is too big to rig. They'll try. And they are trying, you know, though. It's too big to rig. This is a big movement," Trump said.
Doubting the fact that President Joe Biden legitimately won the 2020 Election, Trump said that he has since learned.
"This is that big, powerful, vicious party -- that's a vicious machine. They can take all these bad ideas and win elections." he said.
The comments come as the Trump campaign has 230,000 poll observers along with 500 attorneys in every battleground state.
