    Only a week remains until former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris face off on Election Day.

    Trump will hold a rally on Tuesday evening in Allentown, Pennsylvania, about 60 miles northwest of Philadelphia. The former president is hoping to secure a victory in the Keystone State next week after winning Pennsylvania in the 2016 presidential election but losing it in 2020.

    Harris is in the nation's capital on Tuesday. She will deliver a “closing statement” for her campaign at the Ellipse Stadium, the same place where Trump gave a fiery speech nearly four years ago before a mob of his supporters stormed the capital on January 6, 2021.

    HArris rejects Trump's calls for retaliation

    Harris, who will address voters on Tuesday at the Ellipse (the site of Trump's Jan. 6, 2021 rally), said on “The Breakfast Club” radio show that part of her speech will focus on the stark differences between her become candidacy versus Trump's candidacy.

    “I would ask people to imagine the Oval Office…Either Donald Trump is sitting behind this desk writing down the list of his enemies on whom he will exact revenge and retaliation, or I am working on behalf of the American people,” said she.

    She added that her presidency will focus on elevating discourse “that is not about constantly denigrating people,” referring to comments made about Puerto Rico at Trump's rally at Madison Square Garden on Sunday were submitted.

    Comedian Tony Hinchcliffe called the US territory a “floating island of trash” at the rally, sparking backlash from both Democrats and Republicans.

    “Bad Bunny even supported me all the way to Puerto Rico. He knows and Jennifer Lopez – and they love Puerto Rico, and they are proud of that heritage, and they know how demeaning and destructive Donald Trump can be on these things,” she said.

    Harris addresses claims that she is losing the support of black men

    Harris, in a live interview on “The Breakfast Club” radio show with co-host Charlamagne tha God Tuesday morning, dismissed claims that she doesn't speak directly to black men and the issues that matter to them.

    “The brothers don’t say that,” Harris said, noting that she recently spoke to black men at a stop in Philadelphia and at rallies supporting her.

    “Especially the black men who are at the rallies have been saying to me lately, 'Don't listen to this, then they'll have to stop all this noise.' “We support you,” she said.

    A New York Times/Siena College poll in October found that 70% of black men said they would vote for Harris, while 20% voted for Trump. Ten percent were undecided or declined to answer. That's down from the 87% of Black men who supported President Joe Biden in 2020.

    “Black men are no different than any other voter. “You have to earn their vote,” Harris added in the interview. “And part of the challenge, I think, with that perspective and that narrative was to suggest that anyone has black men in their pockets. No, you have to earn the vote, that’s why I talked to people.”

    Steve Bannon, a former White House chief strategist under the Trump administration, was released from a Connecticut prison on Tuesday – a week before Election Day – after serving a four-month sentence.

    He is host of the “War Room” podcast — a favorite among Trump supporters — which has reached millions of listeners. Since Bannon's incarceration, his podcast has hosted guest hosts including Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas.

    Bannon made false claims on the podcast about the 2020 election, including that it was affected by voter fraud. Trump has made similar false claims about voter fraud that would impact the 2020 race, claims that have been rejected by courts.

González Nieves, archbishop of San Juan, Puerto Rico, called on Trump in an open letter to “disavow” comedian Tony Hinchcliffe's comments that Puerto Rico is a “floating island of trash.” Hinchcliffe made the comments at the former president's rally at Madison Square Garden in New York on Sunday.

    “It’s not enough for your campaign to apologize. It is important that you personally apologize for these comments,” Nieves wrote.
