Trump Spews Anti-Immigrant Hate Speech; Harris Joined by Obama, Celebs in Final Days of Campaign
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In campaign news, Donald Trump rallied in Tempe, Arizona, Thursday,
where he unleashed another torrent of anti-immigrant hate speech.

Donald Trump: "Kamala's migrant invasion, given to us through gross
incompetence, disqualifies her from even thinking about being president.
… And we're a dumping ground. We're like a - we're like a garbage can
for the world. That's what's happened."

Trump deployed a similar hate-filled rhetoric at another Thursday rally
in Las Vegas, where he also claimed he was "leading by a lot" in swing
states, even as most polls put him neck and neck with Kamala Harris.

Meanwhile, in Clarkston, Georgia, Kamala Harris shared the stage with
Barack Obama for the first time during her campaign, as she touted her
support for abortion rights and her proposals to lift up the middle
class. The star-studded rally also featured Spike Lee, Samuel L. Jackson
and Tyler Perry, and a performance from Bruce Springsteen. As of
Wednesday, nearly 2 million Georgian voters had cast early ballots, a
record for the state.
