Trump Spews Anti-Immigrant Hate Speech; Harris Joined by Obama, Celebs in Final Days of Campaign

HeadlineOct 25, 2024

In campaign news, Donald Trump rallied in Tempe, Arizona, Thursday, where he unleashed another torrent of anti-immigrant hate speech.

Donald Trump: “Kamala’s migrant invasion, given to us through gross incompetence, disqualifies her from even thinking about being president. … And we’re a dumping ground. We’re like a — we’re like a garbage can for the world. That’s what’s happened.”

Trump deployed a similar hate-filled rhetoric at another Thursday rally in Las Vegas, where he also claimed he was “leading by a lot” in swing states, even as most polls put him neck and neck with Kamala Harris.

Meanwhile, in Clarkston, Georgia, Kamala Harris shared the stage with Barack Obama for the first time during her campaign, as she touted her support for abortion rights and her proposals to lift up the middle class. The star-studded rally also featured Spike Lee, Samuel L. Jackson and Tyler Perry, and a performance from Bruce Springsteen. As of Wednesday, nearly 2 million Georgian voters had cast early ballots, a record for the state.
