A little earlier, Donald Trump spoke to evangelical Christians in Concord, North Carolina during his last event of the day.Among the dozens of people in the crowd he singled out to mention was former Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson, who Trump said told him in 2016 that God had selected him as the next US president.At one point some of the crowd chanted "Jesus" as Trump spoke.Towards the end of his remarks, he spoke at length about the assassination attempt against him on 13 July in Butler, Pennsylvania, saying he felt as though he had been "knocked to the ground by a supernatural hand"."I now recognise that it's been the hand of God leading me to where I am today," he said.He also claimed, without evidence, that the FBI has been sending "spies" into Catholic churches. He claimed that Democrats consider Catholics to be "potential domestic terrorists".Trump is using the final days of this campaign to try and appeal to religious Americans, including Catholics, evangelicals and Jews, in the final days of his campaign.

Donald J. Trump and Kamala Harris closed out their campaigns in the final hours before Election Day in starkly different moods: The former president, often appearing drained at arenas that were not filled, claimed that the country was on the brink of ruin, while the vice president promised a more united future as energized supporters chanted alongside her, “We’re not going back.”In stop after stop, the presidential rivals essentially offered up two competing versions of reality on Monday and into early Tuesday. Mr. Trump repeatedly raised the specter of unchecked immigration and the dangers of Democratic policies as he spoke to crowds in North Carolina and Pennsylvania before closing with a midnight rally in Michigan.With a comparatively more optimistic message, Ms. Harris crisscrossed Pennsylvania, which holds 19 electoral votes that could decide the race. Stopping in Scranton, Allentown and Pittsburgh before a nighttime rally in Philadelphia, Ms. Harris talked about bolstering the economy and restoring federal abortion rights. She asserted that Americans were “exhausted” and ready to move on from the politics of the past decade.About 30 miles to the southwest, Mr. Trump was in Reading, Pa., broadly portraying undocumented immigrants as mentally ill criminals and calling those accused of crimes “savages” and “animals.”Both leaned on Hispanic supporters as they tried to rally Latino voters. The pro-Harris rapper Fat Joe, who is Puerto Rican, practically shamed his fellow Latinos in Allentown as he asked, “Where’s your pride?” Mr. Trump, still facing fallout from his rally in New York at which a comedian called Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage,” brought Roberto Clemente Jr., the son of the Puerto Rican baseball legend, to the stage at a rally in Pittsburgh.But Mr. Trump, reaching the end of a grueling marathon of a campaign that began in 2022, looked visibly weary, battling fatigue in front of listless crowds, though he was relatively more upbeat and energized in Michigan. Ms. Harris, still appearing fresh after a three-month sprint, appealed for unity and pressed the contrast to her rival without uttering his name.“The measure of a true leader is based not on who you beat down,” she said. “It is based on who you lift up.”Despite the sharply different tones, polls suggest the race remains tight, with the final New York Times/Siena College surveys showing the candidates tied or holding only narrow leads in all of the seven battleground states.

President Trump fired two Democratic commissioners from the EEOC - Charlotte Burrows and Jocelyn SamuelsThe dismissals occurred before the end of their five-year termsBoth commissioners are seeking to challenge their dismissals as potentially illegalThe EEOC is a five-member bipartisan panel created under the 1964 Civil Rights ActThe commission's terms are intentionally staggered across presidential terms to maintain independenceThe firings have left the EEOC without a quorum to conduct businessThe move is part of Trump's broader effort to eliminate DEI programs in federal governmentThe commissioners had previously opposed Trump's executive orders on DEI and transgender worker protectionsRep. Bobby Scott criticized the decision as undermining civil rights lawsThe EEOC's primary role is protecting workers from discrimination based on protected characteristics
