Former President Barack Obama rallied a crowd on behalf of Vice President Kamala Harris along with Senate candidate Ruben Gallego in Tucson, Arizona, on Friday, detailing what he sees as Donald Trump's selfish vision for America.

"One of those values that Ruben shares and is talked a lot about in the campaign is freedom," said Obama. "So I want to talk a little about that. I do not think we've ever had an election with candidates who understand freedom so differently."

Donald Trump sounded off Friday night at his Detroit rally after audio issues caused the former president to stop speaking mid-sentence and pace around the stage – before telling rally-goers that he would sue the equipment contractor if it went out again.

"So now what happens is I won't pay the bill for this stupid company that rented us this crap,” Trump said when the audio was later restored. “I won't pay the bill and then we'll have a story that Trump didn't pay a bill to a contractor. No, when they do that kind of a job, don't pay the bill. That’s terrible. They also had a little problem with energy coming in the building."

House Republicans are attempting to hold onto their razor-thin majority by getting a handful of members in swing districts reelected this November. But in a leaked internal memo, House GOP leaders are keenly aware of their financial disadvantage compared to their Democratic opponents.

CNN reported Friday on the memo it obtained from the Congressional Leadership Fund (CLF), which was intended to motivate Republican donors to dig deep and contribute to the races of several incumbent Republicans in hard-fought races. CLF President Dan Conston estimated that Republicans would be able to stay in power by minimizing their losses to a small handful.

Donald Trump’s idea of demanding Fox News founder Rupert Murdoch stop the network from airing “negative commercials” about him for the remainder of the election could be against the law, a CNN media analyst said Friday, adding that the former president’s comments show he is clearly bothered by the attack ads.

“Here’s the interesting thing: Trump asking Fox to ban anti-Trump ads is arguably against the law,” CNN media analyst Brian Stelter told anchor Wolf Blitzer on Friday night. “Fox operates local TV stations across the country that are subject to FCC oversight. The FCC has rules in place that require stations to be fair about airing political ads. For example, they can’t just run a Republican’s ads and not run a Democrat’s ads.”

Former President Donald Trump has proved more strongly than ever his unfitness to return to the nation's highest office, conservative former Naval War College professor and The Atlantic contributor Tom Nichols wrote in an analysis Friday.

"Trump, of course, tops the leaderboard for gobsmacking moments, and this week, his comments ran the gamut from vile to hilarious to head-scratching. Even so, nothing could match his description of the January 6 insurrection — one of the darkest moments in American political history — as 'a day of love,'" wrote Nichols.

A Japanese civil rights group blasted former President Donald Trump on Friday calling his statement "flat-out offensive" comparing Jan. 6 defendants to World War II internment camps.

Trump's comment came during an interview Friday with MAGA podcaster Dan Bongino, in which he said, "Nobody's ever been treated like this," referring to people charged in the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.

Experts and pundits aren't buying former President Donald Trump's proof that he "crushes" Kamala Harris when it comes to creating manufacturing jobs.

The vice president has torn into Trump as "one of the biggest losers of manufacturing jobs in history" in her campaign statements. The Trump campaign hit back with an ad that purports to compare the record of the Trump administration with the Biden-Harris administration on manufacturing.

Experts are skeptical that a betting market being pushed by MAGA supporters of Donald Trump as proof that the former president is a sure bet to reclaim the White House is not the ace in the hole it’s proclaiming to be.

According to a Daily Beast report, experts are warning that the Elon Musk-supported Polymarket, which the publication notes is funded by Musk’s close friend and GOP mega-donor Peter Thiel, is being "manipulated by multi-million dollar wagers to make him appear certain of victory.”

Vice President Kamala Harris' presidential campaign is doing everything it can to reach young male voters in the final weeks — and they have hit on a novel strategy.

According to Bloomberg's Josh Wingrove, the campaign has taken out ads on Yahoo Sports and the sports betting app DraftKings, showing pictures of Harris and running mate Tim Walz in the style of a lineup.

International media reported that North Korea sent troops to Russia to help them fight their continued invasion of Ukraine.

While complaining about not getting a White House briefing, Ohio Rep. Mike Turner, the House Republican Intelligence Committee chairman, called the move a "red line."

Former White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany vehemently defended Donald Trump from an Obama-era official's claim that the former president has “demonized brown and Black people” – which she characterized as a tired campaign playbook that isn’t working.

The moment came Friday on Fox News’ “Outnumbered” during a discussion about Vice President Kamala Harris skipping the Al Smith charity dinner the night before. Patrick Murphy, an Obama-appointed former under secretary of the Army, told the show’s hosts that Trump has for years “demonized brown and Black people.”

With less than three weeks until Election Day, Donald Trump is curtailing his schedule, canceling interviews with major mainstream media outlets while sitting down for “safe space” chats with Fox News and a former Fox News host.

In his “Fox & Friends” tête-à-tête Friday morning, Trump claimed that “a couple of people from Fox” helped write the speech he gave at the annual, elite Al Smith Dinner Thursday night.

Vice President Kamala Harris has found her closing message in the last few weeks of the campaign, former conservative turned anti-GOP columnist Jennifer Rubin wrote for The Washington Post — and it is the "final and most effective critique" of former President Donald Trump.

Specifically, she is highlighting how Trump, and indeed his whole campaign, appears to be falling apart at the seams.
