“Republicans are pouring tens of millions of dollars into getting GOP voters to cast ballots before Election Day,” Politico reports. “They’re frustrated because Donald Trump keeps getting in the way.” “In just the last few weeks, the former president has dismissed early voting as ‘stupid,’ falsely claimed that 20 percent of mail ballots in Pennsylvania are ‘fraudulent,’ suggested mail carriers could ‘lose hundreds of thousands of ballots, maybe purposefully,’ and baselessly accused Democrats of exploiting a program that sends ballots to overseas and military voters to evade citizenship checks.”

“This is no longer a fight between Republicans versus Democrats, left versus right. It’s good versus evil. And good is going to win.” — RNC co-chair Lara Trump, at a rally in Pennsylvania for Donald Trump.

“Top aides to Kamala Harris are heading into the final month of the 2024 presidential race still wrestling with how much distance she can credibly claim from Joe Biden as she looks for more ways to weave in breaks with him on the campaign trail,” CNN reports. “But she keeps getting pulled back to his side for official business at the White House — and he keeps injecting himself into the conversation.”

“Vice President Kamala Harris will engage in a media blitz this week, sitting for a series of mostly friendly interviews as her campaign shifts into exhorting her supporters to make sure they cast their votes,” the New York Times reports. “The increased exposure on television, radio and podcasts comes with less than one month until Election Day as voters in several battleground states receive their absentee ballots in the mail.” Bloomberg: Harris, Walz kick off weeklong media blitz.
