Harris and Trump deadlocked in new poll: Live updates

Trump vows to ‘take other countries’ jobs’ while campaigning in Georgia

Donald Trump has vowed to take jobs from other countries if he wins the presidency in November through a program of tariff hikes and tax incentives that he believes will encourage foreign companies to relocate production to the US.

The Republican presidential nominee was speaking at a rally in Savannah, Georgia, on Tuesday as part of a week of swing state events.

On Monday night he told a crowd in Pennsylvania that he would be a “protector” for women who “will no longer be thinking about abortion” if he is re-elected.

Also at the rally in the city of Indiana, chants of “send them back” broke out after the former president whipped up the crowd about immigration.

Meanwhile, Kamala Harris has told Wisconsin Public Radio that she is in favor of axing the Senate filibuster in order to codify abortion protections that were previously guaranteed under Roe v Wade.

The latest Reuters poll has Harris up six points nationally but a Quinnipiac University poll also released today has the candidates neck-and-neck among likely voters. A CNN poll also showed the pair locked in an exceedingly close race — with Harris 48 per cent to Trump’s 47 per cent.

Everyone is being dishonest about the filibuster — including Kamala Harris

But on Tuesday, she seemed to betray that virtue when she told Wisconsin Public Radio that she would support eliminating the filibuster to restore abortion rights enshrined in Roe v Wade. To be clear, that would mean getting rid of the filibuster only in the case of reproductive access — and not for other issues.

Prosecutors: Capitol rioter mistakenly released from prison

The federal Bureau of Prisons mistakenly released an Iowa man from custody before he finished serving his 30-month sentence for storming the Senate chamber during a mob’s attack on the U.S. Capitol, Justice Department prosecutors said in a court filing this week.

Leo Christopher Kelly of Cedar Rapids was freed last Thursday after an appeals court agreed to throw out one of his convictions stemming from the Jan. 6, 2021, riot.

Giuliani forced to pay firm that probed his finances in tossed bankruptcy case

Cash-strapped former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani must still pay roughly $300,000 to a firm hired to investigate his finances, a bankruptcy judge ordered Tuesday, despite Giuliani’s request to reduce that amount by nearly $80,000.

More than a month after his Chapter 11 bankruptcy case was officially dismissed, a dispute between Giuliani and Global Data Risk (GDR), a firm hired by Giuliani’s creditors to investigate his finances, has still plagued the case. The dismissal order requires the former mayor to pay the firm’s expenses — but he objected to the amount the firm says it is owed.

Kelly Rissman has been following the case.

‘Are you trying to lose’: Haley skewers GOP candidate questioning why women over 50 care about abortion

Former Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley gave some biting feedback to a GOP Senate candidate who questioned why women voters over the age of 50 care about the issue of abortion, suggesting it would cause him to lose support.

Bernie Moreno, a candidate in Ohio who made headlines with a shiny Trump endorsement, told a group of voters during a town hall last week that “a lot of suburban women” are “single-issue voters” on abortion.

Ariana Baio has the story.
