Episode Synopsis

Latino protesters gathered outside a Trump rally in Allentown, Pennsylvania following racist jokes made at his Madison Square Garden rally. Harris said on Wednesday that she strongly disagrees with criticism of groups of people based on the candidate they support. The Supreme Court on Wednesday allowed Virginia to purge over a thousand people from its voter rolls, a temporary victory for the Republican officials in the state. The man suspected of setting fires in ballot boxes in Oregon is an experienced metalworker and may be planning additional attacks. Former President Donald Trump and his allies are “seizing routine election processes as signs of fraud” in Pennsylvania, amplifying allegations, videos and litigation around voting irregularities. Even as local officials push back. President Biden and First Lady Jill Biden hosted local students, military- related children and families in the neighborhood at the White House Halloween event.
