Trump said he would impose tariffs on goods from Mexico of 25% and would do the “same thing to China” for exporting fentanyl to Mexico.
“Every damn thing that they sell into the United States is going to have like a 25% (tariff) until they stop drugs from coming in. And let me tell you something, those drugs will stop so damn fast that your head will spin,” Trump said.
Trump, at his rally, also spoke extensively about his pledge for the mass deportation of migrants from the United States if he is elected on Tuesday.

TikTok helped put old political scandals on young voters’ radar, activist says

A voter fills out their their ballot during early voting in the general election in Fall River, Massachusetts, on November 1.

Both Kamala Harris and Donald Trump targeted Gen-Z voters as they campaigned ahead of the election, many of whom will be voting for the first time today.

Columbia University’s Columbia Magazine found that Gen Z make up more than 40 million voters, including eight million new voters.

And social media’s influence on these voters cannot be underestimated, according to Aidan Kohn-Murphy, founder of advocacy group Gen-Z for Change. He told CNN that TikTok has helped inform many young people about the presidential candidates and their campaigns.

Key issues for younger voters are “climate, reproductive justice, gun violence and Biden’s incredibly unpopular support for the Israeli government,” Kohn-Murphy said.

He said that young people shared information on TikTok in a “peer-to-peer model, that really leads people to support candidates more.”

He also noted that many first-time voters did not have previous political scandals — such as former President Donald Trump’s “Access Hollywood” tape — on their radar, but social media had enabled them to learn more about the candidates.


 

Trump argues he’s really running against “an evil Democrat system,” not Harris, during his final rally

Donald Trump speaks during a campaign rally at Van Andel Arena in Grand Rapids, Michigan on November 5.

Former President Donald Trump argued during the final rally of his campaign that his real opponent this election was not Vice President Kamala Harris but instead “an evil Democrat system.”

“The silent majority is back and tomorrow you need to get out and vote,” Trump said.

It’s decision day in America. Here’s what to watch for

Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump.

It’s decision day for voters in America’s battle for the White House and control of Congress — even if the results could take days or weeks to sort through.

Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump are hoping to win over seven swing states: Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, the three Great Lakes states that make up the “blue wall” that Trump cracked in 2016 but President Joe Biden carried in 2020, and Arizona, Georgia, Nevada and North Carolina, the four Sun Belt battlegrounds.

While the election of either candidate would be historic, there’s much more being decided Tuesday, including five states — Arizona, Florida, Missouri, Nebraska and South Dakota — voting on whether to turn back abortion bans with constitutional amendments.

Republicans hope to take advantage of a favorable Senate map, with Democrats defending seats in the red-leaning states of Montana, Ohio and West Virginia. The party’s hopes of holding onto its narrow House majority winds from the coast of Maine through New York’s Hudson Valley, the rolling hills of Virginia’s Piedmont, a “blue dot” in Nebraska and into California’s Orange County, where the political ebbs and flows of the Trump era have been on vivid display.

The initial results in the hours after polls close might not be determinative. States decide their own election procedures, and the order in which states count early, mail-in and Election Day votes varies across the map — as does how quickly certain cities, counties and regions report their results.

Former President Donald Trump has ended his final campaign rally after speaking for nearly two hours in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

He repeated many of his campaign promises, such as vowing to impose hefty tariffs and to crack down on illegal immigration.

At one point he also brought several of his children and their spouses to the stage, who delivered brief remarks, including Tiffany, Eric and Donald Jr.

His marathon address ends a long campaign trail — with Trump saying he had attended more than 900 rallies this year.

“We are voting for healing over hate,” she said.
