Former President Donald Trump's outspoken niece took aim at the media on Tuesday night over criticism that Vice President Kamala Harris has ducked mainstream news outlets in favor of less orthodox platforms — even as the MAGA leader reportedly backed out of an agreed-upon "60 Minutes" interview.

Mary Trump took to her newsletter, "The Good In Us" to note that Harris has done several interviews this week, including on the popular "Call Her Daddy" podcast, in a sit-down with comedian Stephen Colbert, radio host Howard Stern and the hosts of "The View."

CNN panelists sparred on Tuesday night during a discussion over legendary investigative journalist Bob Woodward's new book, which revealed up to seven phone calls former President Donald Trump had with Russian President Vladimir Putin after the MAGA leader left the White House.

Scott Taylor, a former Virginia Republican congressman, told CNN anchor Abby Phillip on "NewsNight" that it's "fair to ask" why the former president has repeatedly had phone calls with Putin — "if it's true."

Doubling down on misleading claims repeated throughout the campaign, Donald Trump again insisted in a social media outburst that he was responsible for lowering the monthly out-of-pocket price cap on insulin for Medicare recipients to $35, a statement which Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign and a leading health policy organization have disputed.

“I was the one who got the $35 Insulin, not Lyin’ Kamala,” Trump said in a Truth Social post Tuesday night that diverted into rants on a hodgepodge of topics. “I’ve never seen a group that lies so much, like making up, out of thin air, that the U.S. produced 818,000 New Jobs, when it was a total fraud that they had to recant; or that she worked so hard at McDonalds, BUT SHE NEVER WORKED THERE. They even said that they knew nothing about Deranged Jack Smith going after their political opponent, ME - And that was the biggest lie of them all. But fear not, we will WIN and, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”

In an op-ed published by MSNBC Tuesday, Republican strategist Susan Del Percio argues that although there's no official "playbook for a three-month presidential campaign," Vice President Kamala Harris may have it figured out what it takes.

"While I don't know what it's like inside the Harris headquarters any more than the next pundit," Del Percio writes, "the way the campaign has gone so far gives me confidence in how things are going there."

Former President Donald Trump is making an abrupt about-face, and demanding last-minute emergency changes to the voting system in North Carolina, in the aftermath of the disaster caused by Hurricane Helene.

According to Politico's Meredith McGraw, the Trump campaign called for several voter access expansions in western North Carolina, including countywide early voting, expanded vote-by-mail procedures, expanded early in-person voting hours, expanded Sunday voting, and waiving the residency requirement for poll workers.

Imploring his followers to “never lose our capacity to be outraged and disgusted,” a former federal prosecutor fiercely attacked Donald Trump on Tuesday amid reports that the former president prevented the FBI from investigating Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

“This may come as no surprise, but new reporting just revealed that Donald Trump and his White House henchman corrupted the investigation into Brett Kavanaugh when his nomination to the Supreme Court was pending confirmation,” Glenn Kirschner said in a YouTube video.

Former President Donald Trump is being hidden away from media because he's compulsively throwing barely coherent tantrums at every opportunity, argued a former Republican Party strategist turned anti-Trump adviser on Tuesday evening.

This is the real heart of the GOP's frustrations when they attack Vice President Kamala Harris for going off the beaten path to speak to unconventional audiences, Tara Setmayer said on MSNBC.

The Lincoln Project, an anti-Trump group run by former GOP operatives, called out Donald Trump’s record on reproductive rights in a new ad appealing in dramatic fashion to men with daughters as both presidential campaigns seek out a core constituency key to winning the White House in November: women.

The two-minute ad, which the group says is an updated take on Lyndon B. Johnson’s 1964 Daisy ad, begins with a young woman in pain in a hospital bed before she pleads with her father to reconsider his vote for Trump.

The mayor of Coachella — home of the world-famous Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival — slammed former President Donald Trump, who plans to hold a campaign rally in the area this weekend, noting the MAGA leader "ain't like us."

Trump plans to deliver remarks at a rally in Coachella on Saturday at 5 p.m. In a news release Monday announcing the event, the Trump campaign said that under Kamala Harris and her "dangerous" Democrat allies, the "notorious 'California Dream' has turned into a nightmare for everyday Americans."

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, the running mate for Vice President Kamala Harris, advocated for eliminating the Electoral College during a fundraiser at California Gov. Gavin Newsom's private home, according to CNN's Aaron Pellish — and Trump supporters went ballistic.

"I think all of us know the Electoral College needs to go," Walz said. "We need national popular vote, but that's not the world we live in."

US Rep. Chuck Edwards (R-North Carolina) on Tuesday issued a scathing rebuke of the misinformation and disinformation spreading across social media regarding the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) response to Hurricane Helene.

CBS News correspondent Scott McFarlane posted to X a screenshot of a letter the North Carolina congressman published to his website, debunking a list of myths repeated by Donald Trump and parroted by others online amid the hurricane's devastating impact on the Tar Heel State.

Lara Trump, co-chair of the Republican National Committee and wife of Eric Trump, laughed on Fox News as she threatened more potential election-related lawsuits, this time over ensuring people in states devastated by natural disasters can cast their ballots.

Lara Trump joined host Laura Ingraham on Fox News on Tuesday night, with Ingraham saying many people worried at former President Donald Trump's rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, that people in North Carolina and elsewhere may have trouble voting in the election.

An Afghan national has been charged by federal authorities with plotting a terrorist attack on Election Day in the United States in support of ISIS, according to a report.
