    Vice President Kamala Harris and Former President Donald Trump are making their final pitches to voters on Monday, the last full day of campaigning before Election Day.

    During a rally in Raleigh, North Carolina, Trump appeared to reference the infamous Access Hollywood tape which was published late in the 2016 campaign in which he said he could grab women by their genitals because of his fame.

    Discussing Elon Musk’s and SpaceX’s rocket boosters, Trump said, “And those two big arms, you saw the arms, they grab that thing like you grab your beautiful baby ... Years ago, I would have said something else, but I’ve learned.”

    He added: “I would have been a little bit more risque.”

    The ex-commander-in-chief made similar comments over the weekend.

    The vice president will be joined by celebrities Lady Gaga, Oprah Winfrey, Ricky Martin, and The Roots in Philadelphia this evening as Katy Perry and Christina Aguilera support her in Pittsburgh and Las Vegas.

    Trump, meanwhile, is also concentrating on the pivotal swing state of Pennsylvania, delivering rallies in Reading and Pittsburgh before closing in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

    Elon Musk’s ‘random’ $1 million winners are pre-selected ‘spokespeople’ for his pro-Trump PAC, lawyer admits

    Swing-state voters who signed the PAC’s petition for a chance to be presented with a novelty-sized check were instead deliberately chosen to be paid “spokespeople” for the group, lawyer Chris Gober told a judge in Philadelphia on Monday.

    Gober said that there is “no prize to be won” at all, and that recipients instead “must fulfill contractual obligations” on behalf of the PAC, he told Judge Angelo Foglietta in a Philadelphia County Court of Common Pleas courtroom.

    Former Homeland Security general counsel says it’s time to ‘close the book on Trump'

    John Mitnick — former Homeland Security general counsel who was appointed and fired by Trump, and a former official at Raytheon and the Heritage Foundation — warned fellow conservatives that the former president is “reckless, angry, vengeful, and narcissistic, and he has no respect for the Constitution or the rule of law.”

    “He is not a conservative; rather, he is a would-be autocrat and fascist motivated exclusively by his personal self-interest,” he wrote in a thread on X on Sunday. “If you think he cares about you or your family, I assure you that he does not. He cares only about himself.”

    He urged support for Kamala Harris and said, “It’s time to close the book on Trump” and “rebuild” the Republican Party.
