Live updates: Trump-Harris election news

Former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are racing to make their pitch to voters in key battleground states with less than five weeks until Election Day.

They are both back in key states on Saturday.

Here's a recap of what happened on the campaign trail yesterday:

Republican ticket

Trump was in Evans, Georgia, on Friday, where he received a briefing on damage from Hurricane Helene and delivered remarks with GOP Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp. It was their first face-to-face meeting since their relationship frayed around the 2020 presidential election. Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance said he respects former first lady Melania Trump voicing her support for abortion rights , but it won't impact the way he or the Trump campaign speaks about the issue . At an event with Vance, GOP Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene urged residents in Georgia to resist the urge to tune out politics and said if they don't vote , they are part of the problem.Democratic ticket

Harris campaigned in Michigan on Friday. She highlighted her record on labor issues while visiting a fire department near Detroit, just after a major firefighters' union declined to endorse either candidate. Harris also met with a group of Arab American and Muslim American leaders in Flint, Michigan. Next week, Former President Barack Obama will commence a 27-day campaign sprint for Harris in Pennsylvania , an adviser to the Democratic presidential nominee's campaign said. The Harris campaign launched a new ad as part of its aggressive approach to reach Latino voters in key battleground states, highlighting her record working for middle-class families and tackling corporate greed.Election security

The onslaught of foreign election interference "is more aggressive than ever this election cycle" and represents a "clear and present danger," according to Matthew Olsen, head of the National Security Division within the Department of Justice, including from Russia, Iran and China. President Joe Biden said he is confident the election will be "free and fair; I don't know whether it will be peaceful," and added that the "things that Trump has said and the things that he said last time out, when he didn't like the outcome of the election, were very dangerous." Donald Trump is returning Saturday to the Pennsylvania venue where he narrowly survived an assassination attempt in July, holding a high-profile rally in what his allies are billing as a key moment as the 2024 race for the White House enters its final month.

The former president described this weekend's trip to Butler, an hour's drive north of Pittsburgh in what could be the election's most important swing state, as unfinished business.

Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance and Tesla CEO Elon Musk will be joining Trump, according to a campaign official.

The Trump campaign also announced Friday that family members of the man who was killed during the assassination attempt in July and a number of other guests — including GOP members of Congress — will also join Trump at the rally.

Some background: The rally in Butler comes less than three months after the July 13 attempt on the former president's life. Trump was minutes into a speech when a gunman fired eight shots at the stage, bloodying the former president's right ear. Secret Service agents killed the gunman at the scene.

Trump's reaction to the shooting — standing and raising his right fist while mouthing "Fight" to the Butler crowd as the Secret Service rushed him off stage — became a rallying cry at the Republican convention and in his campaign appearances since.
