Donald Trump and Kamala Harris are both holding rallies in Michigan this evening as they try to win voters in the key swing state.
Trump is speaking in Detroit, where his microphone has malfunctioned. The former president was forced to pace the stage for over 15 minutes, occasionally waving at attendees.
“I won’t pay the bill for the stupid company that rented us this crap,” he said.
Before the audio error, Trump was telling supporters that his Democratic opponent is “grossly incompetent” and he will “save” the city. Meanwhile, Harris is speaking in Oakland County. The latest Emerson College poll shows the two candidates are tied in the key swing state with just over two weeks until Election Day.
Also tonight, former President Barack Obama is campaigning on the vice president’s behalf in Tuscon, Arizona.
Ahead of tonight’s rally, the former president called Judge Tanya Chutkan “the most evil person” and labeled special counsel Jack Smith a “sick puppy” after new evidence was released in the January 6 case against him.
Trump has called the case against him “a terrible thing” and “election interference” as he navigates indictments in Washington and Georgia for his efforts to subvert his 2020 loss.
Trump-supporting pastor calls for women who ‘falsely accuse’ men of assaulting them to be publicly executed
Far-right pastor Joel Webbon, who has said he’ll be rooting for Donald Trump, called for women who “falsely accuse” men of sexual assault to be executed.
“#MeToo would end real fast…All you have to do is publicly execute a few women who have lied,” Webbon said.
The #MeToo movement exploded in 2017 as women around the world used the hashtag to share their stories of surviving sexual harassment and assault.

Trump takes the stage in Detroit
Donald Trump has taken the stage for his Detroit rally on Friday night.
“Detroit was decimated as if by a foreign army…Our factories were left in ruins, and under Kamala Harris, the US has lost nearly 50,000 manufacturing jobs,” Trump told his supporters.
When he was in Detroit earlier this month, Trump called the city a “mess.”
“The whole country is going to be like, you want to know the truth? It’ll be like Detroit,” Trump said last week. “Our whole country will end up being like Detroit if she’s your president. You’re going to have a mess on your hands,” he said. “We’re not going to let her do that to this country. We’re not gonna let it happen.”

Obama campaigns for Harris in Arizona
Former president Barack Obama is campaigning on behalf of Kamala Harris in Tuscon, Arizona on Friday night.
Obama slammed Trump’s economic plans, taking a jab at the argument that the US economy under Trump was “good” for the first two years of his presidency.
“Yeah, it was good, it was my economy that I gave to him,” Obama told the audience. “I spent eight years cleaning up the mess that Republicans had left me. So when I handed over the economy to Donald Trump, we had had 75 straight months of job growth…All he did with it was give a tax cut to people who did not need one and drove up the deficit in the process.”
“Now he wants to do it again,” Obama continued.
Meanwhile, Trump and Harris are both speaking in Michigan this evening.
