US election recap: Trump escalates anti-immigrant rhetoric as Harris promises bipartisan panel
Trump's team reportedly demands 'extraordinary' military protection, while allies call for armed guards at polling stations and Harris lands her second US Vogue cover
Donald Trump doubled down on his anti-immigrant and xenophobic message at a Colorado rally, calling for the death penalty for migrants who kill US citizens and announcing a comprehensive plan to deport Venezuelans.
"The invasion will be stopped. Migrant flights will end and the Kamala app for illegal immigrants will be shut down immediately within 24 hours," he said in the city of Aurora, which he claimed had been overrun by Venezuelan gang members, despite objections from local officials, including Republicans.
Kamala Harris, meanwhile, focused on a more positive message, saying at an event in Phoenix that if elected president, she would create a bipartisan advisory council to provide her with feedback on her policy initiatives and appoint a Republican to her cabinet.
“I like good ideas no matter where they come from,” said Harris, who is working to win over Republicans skeptical of Trump to her side.
