The co-hosts of "The View" were excited to see the footage from the Washington, D.C., rally on Tuesday night at the White House Elipse.

Former Donald Trump aide Alyssa Farah Griffin said that she was grateful to see Vice President Kamala Harris reclaim the space that was used on Jan. 6, 2021, before the crowd marched to the Capitol for the violent attack.

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and Speaker of the House Mike Johnson say they have big plans to implement "massive" changes to the entire U.S. food, drug, and health care system — from killing ObamaCare and all its protections, to handing over control of all health, food, and drug policies and agencies to conspiracy theorist and anti-vaxxer Robert F. Kennedy Jr.—and they're openly bragging about it just days before Election Day.

Republicans conspired to block every one of Barack Obama's initiatives even before the 44th President was sworn in to office in January, 2009. They have spent years promising to "repeal and replace" ObamaCare, or just end the Affordable Care Act entirely. Donald Trump for over a decade has repeatedly vowed to kill ObamaCare, and repeatedly said he would end it and unveil his new health care plan soon, before admitting during the presidential debate all he had were mere "concepts of a plan."

Former Republican lawyer George Conway urged a supporter of Donald Trump to "look in the mirror" over complaints that the former president had been called a fascist.

During a Wednesday appearance on C-SPAN's Washington Journal, Conway was confronted by a Republican caller who objected to being called a fascist.

One of the most closely watched swing states on Election Night 2024 will be Pennsylvania, where Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump have been campaigning aggressively in the hope of winning the state's 19 electoral votes.

Pennsylvania has gone Democrat in most of the United States' post-1980s presidential elections. But Trump carried Pennsylvania in 2016 before losing it to now-President Joe Biden four years later in 2020.

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (R) advised Vice President Kamala Harris to label Donald Trump a "Nazi" after President Joe Biden seemed to suggest that the former president's supporters were "garbage."

During a Wednesday interview with Real America's Voice, Huckabee addressed Biden's reaction to a comedian at a recent Trump rally who suggested Puerto Rico residents were "garbage." A transcript that was later corrected by the White House seemed to say that Trump supporters were also garbage.

A Republican senator faced significant backlash Wednesday after he first disavowed racist jokes told at former President Donald Trump's recent rally then promoted his on a podcast with a white nationalist.

Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL), who is running for reelection this year, promoted his appearance on Laura Loomer's show just days after condemning comedian Tony Hinchcliffe's slur on Puerto Ricans, whose nation he called a "floating island of garbage."

United Auto Workers president Shawn Fain late Tuesday called for working class unity against Republican nominee Donald Trump in the final stretch of the 2024 race, warning that the former president would serve the interests of his own class and embolden the nation's executives to intensify their decades-long war on the labor movement.

Responding to members who question why the UAW is involved in the political process at all, Fain said during a video livestream that "we are up against a billionaire class that will not stop their attack on us at the bargaining table."

During a discussion on why Donald Trump is taking his show on the road into states he has no chance of winning in less than seven days, one MSNBC analyst suggested the former president and his campaign is being dogged by low turnout in MAGA territory which has become an embarrassment.

The morning after Vice President Kamala Harris packed the ellipse in Washington, D.C., the "Morning Joe " panel noted that the Trump and his aides are trying to project an aura of invincibility despite polling that shows a close race.

According to MSNBC host Jonathan Lemire, the show of bravado is likely tied to the fact that no one who is close to Trump wants to tell him he's losing.

'There are two things in play," he told the co-hosts of "Morning Joe."

"First the Trump team is going to boast and focus on the good news because the boss, ie. trump, doesn't want to hear the bad. There's not someone walking in saying, 'Sir we're losing,' that's not how that campaign works."

"So even if there is data that shows a tight race or even trailing, they're not going to share it widely because Trump won't stand for it," he added. "But the second piece of it is what you and I were talking about and have talked about before: this idea that they're projecting the victory to lay the ground work for a possible appeal. That they want to get their supporters so conditioned to expect a win, there will be therefore so much anger if they lose and they can try to stoke that anger in their attempts to contest the election."

"And Mika, we're also seeing a projection of what appears to be confidence from the Trump campaign scheduling events in blue states," he elaborated. "He's got a rally coming up in Virginia and another rally in New Mexico. The Trump team says, well, we see numbers there we thought we could be in play, maybe help some congressional candidates. Democrats suggests the opposite. Trump, this is his third presidential cycle. He's been in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan so many times people have seen him so many times he's having trouble drawing the rally crowds he wants. If he goes somewhere new, he's more of a novelty factor, people will show up."

A slew of businesses across the U.S. say they're preparing to spike prices should former President Donald Trump regain the White House in 2025, the Washington Post reported Wednesday.

Companies that rely on foreign suppliers for baby products, auto parts and clothing — to name just a few — say the only way to survive Trump's promised tariffs on foreign imports will be to offload the cost on consumers, according to the report.

On Wednesday morning, MSNBC host Mika Brzezinski cast a skeptical eye on former Washington Post journalist Bob Woodward's claim that Post owner Jeff Bezos made a mistake when he blocked the paper's endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris.

The decision, announced last week, set off a firestorm with readers and employees of the venerable newspaper which has reportedly lost close to 250,000 subscribers and has drawn nearly universal scorn for the timing, coming just 11 days before the election.

Appearing on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," Woodward admitted his dismay with Bezos interfering with the editorial page editors who had a Harris endorsement already written and ready to publish.

"How disturbed are you that the editorial page wanted to endorse a candidate just like the L.A. Times editorial page was ready to endorse a candidate and their billionaire owner stepped in and nixed the idea?" co-host Joe Scarborough asked his guest.

"Well, that's what they can do," Woodward conceded. "I know Jeff Bezos, I haven't talked to him for a while, I haven't talked to him about this, but this is a super mistake."

"Let the paper operate, let the news side and the editorial side work together –– they actually should," he continued. "During Watergate, that's exactly what happened. and to just kind of say oh ... anyway. It's disturbing."

"It doesn't feel like a mistake to me, I'll take that as my words," co-host Brzezinski quickly chimed in. "I know you call it a mistake, a big mistake."

"Why?" a seemingly startled Woodward replied.

"Well, the statement that Jeff Bezos put out conflicts with the statement the Washington Post put out," she replied. "It seems to me that Jeff Bezos is bending to Trump."

"It may not be a deal for something tangible right now but he's bending to Trump," she added.

A revelation that Donald Trump and his campaign have yet to reach out to former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley (R) for help with women voters stunned the co-hosts of MSNBC's Morning Joe who agreed it should alarm the Republican Party leadership.

Appearing on Fox News on Tuesday, the runner-up to the GOP presidential nomination trashed the "bro-culture" on display at the Trump Madison Square Garden rally that has sent the former president's re-election bid into doubt.

As "Morning Joe" contributor Katty Kay put it, "The way she pushed back says this isn't a joke, people feel very sensitive about this and this matters to them."

"Imagine if someone called your state or your hometown or your country and denigrated the way it was," she continued. "I think the point she made saying this went too far, all they needed to do was apologize and say women are not liking what they are hearing; they're not liking this hyper-masculinity. Donald Trump is re-posting things on Truth Social saying manhood is under attack. Manhood is not under attack."

"I have not met one alpha male who doesn't want to take care of his wife and daughters every way possible and wants every bit of health care available to them. I don't know of one," co-host Mika Brzezinski interjected.

That led co-host Willie Geist to contribute, "I would submit that the Republican leaders who scurry behind Donald Trump calling themselves alpha, that is a definition of beta doing whatever you're told by another guy."

He then added, "Katty is so right. Nikki Haley said Donald Trump has not called me since June –– sort of like throwing up a red flag and saying, it's actually political malpractice. It's actually insane in races in some of these states that might be decided in four digits with thousands of votes not to court Nikki Haley's voters. But his ego is such that he can't bring himself to that."

On Wednesday morning, MSNBC host Joe Scarborough laughed off the meltdown Donald Trump and his supporters are having over comments made by President Joe Biden that they believe labeled all of his followers as garbage.

The segment kicked off with "Morning Joe" regular Jonathan Lemire reporting on Trump and Fox News trying to make hay out of the comment which Biden asserted later was aimed solely at the Madison Square Garden rally comedian who smeared Puerto Rico and created a firestorm for the Trump campaign which has been in damage control ever since.

As Lemire explained, "The president said something and immediately tried to clarify it, Joe, but certainly a story on the right who are trying to paint this to be the next basket of deplorables."

A laughing Scarborough replied, "Well, of course. Donald Trump says shocking things every day on Fox News and all of his apologists in the Republican Party immediately go to it and brush it off and explain it away or just completely ignore it."

"Here, they are trying to make a firestorm out of something that, again, if you look at it, you see what he said immediately afterward, which Donald Trump didn't say, and he said I was talking about the comedian and people who support that kind of talk," he elaborated.

"Joe Biden obviously doesn't believe that," the MSNBC host insisted. "I forget what state it was in but it was during a hurricane –– after a hurricane I believe –– and Joe Biden went in and he went in and talked to the crowd. Went and talked to a big Trump supporter and joked with him and put the hat on him. And again, trying to bring people together and even saying, 'Hey, I'll wear your Trump cap. We are on the same team.' That is the type of leadership you want."

The chants Tuesday in the largely Hispanic Pennsylvania city of Allentown came from a small but proud and passionate group of protesters outside Donald Trump's latest campaign rally: "Immigrants make America great!"

The refrain -- a play on Trump's "Make American Great Again" slogan -- along with pointed calls of "Trump, fuera!" (Trump, go away) reflect mounting anger among Latinos, in particular those from Puerto Rico, after a comedian who spoke at last weekend's Trump rally in New York likened the US island territory to a pile of garbage.
