Vice President Kamala Harris criticized former President Donald Trump for describing the events of January 6 as a “day of love” during his keynote speech at a charity dinner in Manhattan.
Harris visited Wisconsin for the sixth time since stepping in as the Democratic presidential candidate following President Biden’s withdrawal. Her visit included three stops, culminating in a rally near Green Bay’s Lambeau Field, underscoring the importance of mobilizing voters in the final stretch before Election Day.
At the rally, Harris sharply criticized Trump’s attempts to revise the narrative of January 6, 2021, portraying the insurrection as a mostly peaceful event. She also poked fun at Trump’s recent claim that he was “the father of I.V.F.” Earlier in the day, upon learning of the death of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, Harris commented that it “provides an opportunity to end the conflict in Gaza,” adding, “justice has been served.”
Meanwhile, Nevada’s sole Senate debate for the 2024 race has concluded. The debate was generally low-key, but the most heated exchange occurred during a discussion on abortion. Senator Jacky Rosen claimed that Sam Brown supported a nationwide abortion ban, which he denied. Brown also shared a personal story about his wife’s abortion and affirmed his support for Nevada’s law permitting abortion up to 24 weeks. Rosen shot back, saying, “If you don’t think he’d back a nationwide abortion ban, I’ve got oceanfront property to sell you on the Las Vegas Strip.”
Halfway through the debate, the candidates addressed a range of topics, including housing, inflation, and even U.F.O.s, as the debate took place near Area 51. Both candidates were asked if Congress should investigate the issue further, but neither gave a clear response.
