Just In: Trump says he doesn’t expect chaos on election day: ‘Not from the side that votes for Trump’ – live…. See More

Several polls released on Sunday show Kamala Harris in the lead or in a tight race with Donald Trump

Republican representative Liz Cheney criticized House speaker Mike Johnson for saying there was a peaceful transfer of power to Joe Biden after Donald Trump lost in 2020.

“I do not have confidence that Mike Johnson will fulfill his constitutional obligations,” Cheney said. “He has a record repeatedly of doing things that he knows to be wrong, that he knows to be unconstitutional, in order to placate Donald Trump. You saw that sycophancy just now.”

Earlier in the show, Johson said: “We have the peaceful transfer of power.”

“I believe President Trump’s going to win, and this will be taken care of,” he added.

spent Sunday trying to shore up political support among what they perceived to be must-have voting blocs with polls showing them locked in a tight 5 November presidential race.

With election day less than a month away, the Democratic vice-president attended a Black church in Greenville, North Carolina, as part of her campaign’s “souls to the polls” push. Her Republican opponent was in Arizona, looking for Black and Latino support as he seeks a second presidency, after a rally in California a day earlier.

Both candidates are attempting to get a decisive edge among votes who have not yet decided who to support. Surveys show that early voting, which tends to favor Democrats, is down 45% from previous election years – a sign that there may be millions of undecided voters.

Trump has now switched from condemning early voting as a Democrat plot to engineer his defeat to Joe Biden in 2020 to urging people to vote early and by mail.

A recent ABC News-Ipsos poll showed that support was split down gender lines, with women voting 60-40 to Harris and men breaking for Trump by a similar margin.

Trump needs white women, who supported him in a greater numbers in 2020 than in 2016 – but also Black men. On Sunday, he argued that his fellow former president Barack Obama’s call last week for Black men to support Harris based “solely on her skin color, rather than her policies” as “deeply insulting”.

Here’s more on the candidates’ campaign events:

Trump says he doesn’t expect chaos on election day: ‘Not from the side that votes for Trump’
Donald Trump on Sunday said he does not expect chaos from his supporters on the day of the 5 November election.

Asked on Fox News’s Sunday Morning Futures if he anticipated chaos from those who support him over Kamala Harris, the former president said: “No, I don’t think. Not from the side that votes for Trump.”

Supporters of Trump aimed a deadly attack on Congress weeks after he lost the presidency to Joe Biden in 2020. The US Capitol attack – launched after he told his supporters to fight like hell – was a desperate attempt to prevent congressional certification of the US president’s victory.

Hundreds of participants have been indicted on federal crimes pertaining to the violence. And Trump himself was charged with illicitly trying to overturn his 2020 defeat in the lead-up to the attack.

Homeland security secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Sunday said the slew of misinformation online about the hurricanes devastating parts of the US is “extremely pernicious”.

During an interview with Face the Nation, Mayorkas called for officials to debunk the false claims because “we’re not seeing enough of that.”

Democratic committee releases ads calling out Jill Stein as a ‘vote for Trump’
The Democratic National Committee released a six-figure ad campaign in the battleground states of Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania calling out Jill Stein as a “vote for Trump”.

The ad opens with a photo of Stein morphing into the Republican presidential nominee.

“Why are Trump’s close allies helping her? Stein was key to Trump’s 2016 wins in battleground states,” says the ad. “She’s not sorry she helped Trump win. That’s why a vote for Stein is really a vote for Trump.”

Democratic party chair Jaime Harrison, California Senate candidate Adam Schiff, activist Jessica Craven, and others reacted to the ad on social.
