US election briefing: Trump escalates anti-immigrant rhetoric as Harris promises bipartisan council
Trump’s team reportedly ask for ‘extraordinary’ military protections, while ally calls for armed guards to be sent to polls and Harris lands her second US Vogue cover
Donald Trump doubled down on his anti-immigrant and xenophobic messaging at a rally in Colorado, calling for the death penalty for migrants who kill US citizens and announcing a sweeping plan to deport Venezuelans.
“The invasion will be stopped. The migrant flights will end and Kamala’s app for illegals will be shut down immediately within 24 hours,” he said in the city of Aurora, which he claims has been overrun by Venezuelan gang members, despite pushback from local officials, including Republicans.
Kamala Harris, meanwhile, was focusing on a more positive message, telling an event in Phoenix that if elected president she would create a bipartisan council of advisers to provide her feedback on her policy initiatives and appoint a Republican to her cabinet.
“I love good ideas wherever they come from,” said Harris, who is making a push to get Republicans with doubts about Trump to support her.
