24.10.2024 โ‡ข The Day Harris Called Trump a Fascist
โŒจVice President Kamala Harris's CNN town hall dominated the news cycle. In a significant escalation of campaign rhetoric, Harris agreed that Trump is a fascist, responding to former Chief of Staff John Kelly's comments about Trump praising Hitler's generals. This statement became her closing argument, sparking debate across media platforms. Trump retaliated, calling Kelly a "lowlife." Meanwhile, election officials battled voting conspiracy theories as early voting surged. The L.A. Times editorial editor resigned after the owner blocked plans to endorse Harris. In foreign policy news, the U.S. announced $135 million in humanitarian aid to Palestinians, while Blinken revealed plans to resume Gaza cease-fire talks. Late in the day, Los Angeles DA Gascรณn recommended resentencing for the Menendez brothers, potentially leading to their release.
