A worker group in North Carolina on Wednesday criticized former U.S. President Donald Trump and one of the Republican nominee's allies for campaign stunts involving garbage trucks.

After struggling to open the truck's door—which led to a viral video clip and concerns about Trump's physical condition—the ex-president climbed into the passenger seat of a white truck adorned with American flags and a banner that said, "Trump, Make America Great Again! 2024."

Former President Donald Trump has told several campaign aides that he’s furious with his senior advisor Chris LaCivita and plans to sever ties with him as soon as the election is over.

LaCivita is one of two aides considered to be in charge of running Trump's campaign to become president.

It wasn’t the urging of multiple allies or her history of blatantly racist comments that got controversial right-wing influencer Laura Loomer booted from Donald Trump’s campaign, according to a new report.

Loomer sparked panic among many of the former president’s friends, allies and donors as she was seen several times accompanying him on his campaign trail in early September.

Former President Donald Trump was bombarded with panicked phone calls after he chose to appear with a controversial right-wing influencer at a 9/11 ceremony at Ground Zero, a report claimed Saturday.

Multiple Trump camp insiders told The Atlantic writer Tim Alberta that the appearance triggered all spheres of Trump supporters.

Shocked Trump staffers “pleaded” with Donald Trump to abandon plans to use an offensive slur as a new nickname for President Joe Biden, a report claimed Saturday.

Tim Alberta based his revelation, made in The Atlantic, on conversations with several Trump camp insiders in the run-up to Tuesday’s election.

A judge has ordered the Erie County Board of Elections to extend its operating hours and take other steps to ensure that thousands of voters who requested mail ballots but did not receive them can still get mail ballots and return them by the Election Day deadline.

The judge’s order comes after the Democratic Party of Pennsylvania sued the county in an attempt to get officials to remedy the problems.

TOPEKA — Kansas Republican Party chairman Mike Brown touted preliminary evidence the state’s GOP voters were matching the advance-voting operation typically relied on by Democrats to boost turnout.

Brown, chosen state party chairman after losing the 2022 primary for secretary of state on an election-integrity platform, said on Friday at the Capitol that Kansas voters responded to former President Donald Trump’s plea for his supporters to vote in advance of Election Day on Tuesday.

Just days before Tuesday’s election, Donald Trump upped the ante on his opponent Kamala Harris Saturday, accusing her of having contempt for America’s population.

He also complained of repeated comparisons between himself and Adolf Hitler.

Businessman Tim Sheehy, who is vying for Montana Democrat Sen. Jon Tester's U.S. Senate seat, did not do his campaign any favors by appearing on conservative Megyn Kelly's podcast.

Sheehy, a former Navy SEAL, has been under fire for claiming during his campaign he was shot in combat which has been disputed by a park ranger who recalled dealing with him and his wound after he accidentally shot himself during a family trip in Glacier National Park in 2015.

With the cloud of where, when and how he was shot hanging over his head, host Kelly gave him a chance to clear the air on Friday and he seemed unprepared with a straightforward answer.

"But were you wounded? In the park? Did you have a wound, Tim, in the park?" Kelly pressed her guest.

'No, no. Yes," he replied. "I fell and injured my arm when we were hiking. So that’s why I went, because, you know, I could feel the bullet get dislodged when I fell and fell on the arm, you could feel the bullet get dislodged, and then went to the ER to say, 'Hey, you know, look, you know, I’ve got internal bleeding going on here, I’ve injured my arm, can you take a look at this, make sure there’s nothing serious going on here.'"

Pressed further by a puzzled-looking Kelly who asked, "Are there medical records where the ER could say, “We did not treat a gunshot wound”? he replied, "Well, there, there isn’t, I mean that’s the point. You go in, you check on it, and you leave."

In her campaign stump speeches, Vice President Kamala Harris has contrasted herself with former President Donald Trump by saying she's going to enter the White House with a "to-do list," while her opponent would begin his administration with an "enemies list." One far-right activist adjacent to Trump's inner circle recently created such a list.

The Atlantic reported that Ivan Raiklin, who is a retired Army Green Beret and self-described "constitutional lawyer," recently sat down with insurrectionist cattle rancher Cliven Bundy (famous for instigating an armed standoff with federal authorities in 2014). He called himself Trump's "secretary of retribution," and said he had come up with a "deep-state target list" of roughly 300 people for the former president to persecute first should he be elected to a second term next week.

Podcaster and tech journalist Kara Swisher lost patience with a conservative Reihan Salam on CNN on Saturday morning and accused him of not caring that Donald Trump is obviously "addled."

During their weekly face-off on "The Chris Wallace Show," Salam tried to dismiss the firestorm created by a conservative speaker at a Trump rally, calling Puerto Rico "garbage," and tried to make the case that President Joe Biden's response to it was worse.

According to Salam, too much is being made about the Madison Square Garden "joke" and it should not reflect on Trump's re-election campaign as well as comments the ex-president has made recently.

That drew a swift rebuke and accusation from Swisher who repeatedly said "Stop it" as Salam spoke.

Making his case he told the panel, "I think basically you have a lot of voters who believe that there is a certain censoriousness coming from the left and the idea that we are elevating a warm-up act who tells rancid jokes and have been doing it for years."

"I think that might have been a bad call," he continued as Swisher protested. "The president of the United States [Biden] was actually, for four years, been denouncing his political opponents and talking about ultra MAGA and fascism when referring to people who oppose his agenda. This is absolutely routine background noise and this garbage remark is something that actually does remind people of it."

"Trump makes, literally, every hour Trump makes an offensive remark," Swisher pushed back. "Every hour Trump makes another offensive remark, one more offensive than the other."

"Because, one, he's addled. You don't mind him being addled," she accused.
