1 week until Election Day: Here’s how Harris, Trump are making their final pitches

Vice President Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are making their final pitches to voters ahead of next week’s presidential election. 
Trump delivered remarks to reporters Tuesday morning at his private club and residence in Palm Beach, Florida. He opened his remarks to reporters at Mar-a-Lago on Tuesday morning by saying Harris is running on a “campaign of destruction” and “of absolute hate,” accusing her team of “perhaps even trying to destroy our country.” 
The former president wrapped up his remarks without referencing the controversial comments comedian Tony Hinchcliffe during his New York rally last weekend. But he did reference the event overall, calling it “an absolute lovefest” in his hometown.
Trump said he doesn’t know the comic who made racist and vile jokes at his big Madison Square Garden rally. But he’s not denouncing the comments either.
Hinchcliffe called Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage” during the Sunday event at Madison Square Garden. His remark has drawn wide condemnation and highlighted the rising power of a key Latino group in the swing state of Pennsylvania.  He also made demeaning jokes about Black people, other Latinos, Palestinians and Jews during his routine before Trump’s appearance.

The Harris campaign has released an ad that will run online in battleground states targeting Puerto Rican voters and highlighting the comedian’s remarks, the Associated Press reported. 
The comments landed Harris a show of support from Puerto Rican music star Bad Bunny and prompted reactions from Republicans in Florida and Puerto Rico.
Trump will head to Pennsylvania later in the day for a Building America’s Future event in Drexel and a rally Tuesday night in Allentown.
Harris will speak at 7:30 p.m. ET Tuesday from the same spot in Washington, D.C. where Trump helped incite a mob that attacked the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
A top aide to Harris tells the AP that Richmond the speech will be about the “clear choice voters are facing this election between Trump and his obsession with himself versus her new generation of leadership that is focused on the American people.”
Harris’ campaign leader tells the AP that the Democratic presidential nominee’s speech will also focus on talking about what her generation of leadership “really means,” and how much she will work to shape the country and impact people’s lives for the better.
The vice president is also doing five interviews Tuesday, including one with a Spanish-language radio in Pennsylvania aimed at Latino voters, in particular Puerto Ricans. These interviews come in the aftermath of Hinchcliffe’s comments. 
She also has interviews in Detroit, Milwaukee, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh before she gives a speech in Washington, D.C. later Tuesday where she’ll lay out her closing arguments.
Uncertainty reigns entering the final full week of the 2024 campaign with Democrat Kamala Harris and Republican Donald Trump locked in a fiercely competitive presidential contest. John Reid, conservative commentator, joined LiveNOW from FOX to discuss the race to the White House.
Separately, during an interview Tuesday morning, Harris called Los Angeles Times and Washington Post decisions not to endorse in the presidential race “disappointing.”
The Democratic presidential nominee made the comment during an interview with Charlamagne tha God, DJ Envy, and Loren LoRosa for “The Breakfast Club.”
According to the Associated Press, both newspapers announced last week that they will not make endorsements in the presidential contest between Harris and Trump.
Harris sought to tie the decisions to billionaires in “Donald Trump’s club.”
Both publications are owned by wealthy executives, Jeff Bezos at the Post and Patrick Soon-Shiong at the Times.
In a post on the social platform X, Rogan says the Democrat’s campaign offered a date for Tuesday for an hourlong conversation, but that he would have had to meet her on the road. Rogan said he feels strongly that the conversation is best when done in his studio in Austin, Texas.
He headlined the post: “!! Austin TX podcast or let her walk. Thoughts?”
Asked for comment, a Harris campaign official said they were willing to sit down with Rogan when Harris was in Texas last week, but Rogan couldn’t accommodate, according to the Associated Press. 
The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the campaign’s internal deliberations, tells the Associated Press that Rogan was offered the option of joining Harris on the road but that Rogan has insisted that the conversation be taped in Austin.
Trump sat down with Rogan for three hours last Friday in Texas.
