WASHINGTON — Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign is seizing on racist comments made by an ally of Donald Trump this weekend about Puerto Ricans to launch a new digital ad targeting Latino voters that argues they “deserve better” than what the former president has to offer. Beyond Pennsylvania, there are sizable Puerto Rican populations in North Carolina, Wisconsin and Michigan as well, where the race could be determined by mere margins. The Trump campaign attempted to distance itself from the remarks and some high-profile Republicans quickly rebuked them. Before Trump's event, Harris had rolled out her economic proposals for the Puerto Rican community during stops in Philadelphia, including at one Puerto Rican restaurant. The Harris campaign posted a video summarizing the policy, which was later shared on Instagram by Puerto Rican superstars like Bad Bunny, Jennifer Lopez, Ricky Martin and Luis Fonzi.

As Election Day approaches, former President Donald Trump has increasingly been warning that if he loses, it will be because of cheating. That’s all they want to do is cheat,” Trump said of Democrats during a rally this month in Juneau, Wisconsin. “They’re actually using it to cheat,” Trump said on the Los Angeles radio station KFI AM 640 on Oct. 8. “They have early voting, late voting, everything is so ridiculous,” Trump said onstage in Palm Beach, Florida, in July. And that’s what we’re striving for.”But Trump has also spoken favorably of early voting, usually in more choreographed settings.

Georgian Dream Party supporters celebrate the exit poll results in Tbilisi on Saturday. Diego Fedele / Getty ImagesPresident Salome Zourabichvili spoke the day after the vote, which the electoral commission said the ruling party had won. The Georgian Dream party clinched nearly 54% of the vote, the commission said, as opposition parties contested the result and vote monitors reported significant violations. Georgian Dream has become increasingly authoritarian over the past year, adopting laws similar to those used by Russia to crack down on speech. Despite that, Georgian Dream has adopted Russia-style laws and many Georgians fear the government is distancing the country from the West and into Moscow’s orbit.

Crapser made history as the first Korean adoptee to sue the South Korean government and his adoption agency for damages in 2019. As he awaits a court decision in Seoul, a bill that could grant him US citizenship remains stalled in Congress. CNN reached out to the adoption agency, Holt Children’s Services, for comment but did not immediately receive a response. In response to recent media reports about adoptions from South Korea in the 1980s, Holt International acknowledged the potential unethical practices in a public statement and noted Holt Children’s Services separated from Holt International in 1977.

Democrats had warned the new rules around certification could allow local election officials to delay or altogether decline to certify the election results as they searched for purported fraud or irregularities. Key GOP state officials, including Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, had also opposed the new rules. Republican state officials have launched an emergency appeal in Virginia, while Trump has attempted to play up the ruling for political gain. A Republican lawsuit led to a settlement with Detroit election officials that affirmed that there would be at least one GOP poll watcher in each precinct. But in Wisconsin, a judge rejected a lawsuit there to force election officials to hire more GOP poll workers in Racine.

Harris was in red-state Texas on Friday to highlight hardline GOP abortion policies she warns could spread countrywide if Trump wins. The CNN Poll of Polls shows no clear leader nationally with Harris at 48% and Trump at 47%. Harris’ rally will provide an emphatic exclamation point for an increasingly important theme of her campaign — that Trump represents an existential threat to American democracy.

It’s a feeling permeating the heavily Jewish neighborhood — and one that has affected how the swing-state community has processed the 2024 election. Amid a somber anniversary and with Election Day on the horizon, concerns about rising antisemitism are at the forefront of many voters’ minds. “I don’t believe a word Trump says, period, much less how he is trying to court Jewish voters. Republicans are aiming to make inroads with Jewish voters and chip away at the margins, with groups including the Republican Jewish Coalition spending big on ads like one featuring three Jewish women discussing antisemitism at an iconic Jewish deli in the Philadelphia suburbs. He says the Jewish community has felt a “political awakening” after the terror attacks on Oct. 7, and if that does not manifest in the presidential race, there could be signs of it in down-ballot races.

Initial figures suggest turnout is the highest since the ruling Georgian Dream party was first elected in 2012. Georgia’s Central Election Commission said Georgian Dream won 52.99% with the majority of votes counted. Georgian Dream stood against four main opposition groups, which indicated they did not accept the results. The biggest opposition party, United National Movement, said its headquarters came under attack on polling day. Many Georgians fear Georgian Dream is dragging the country toward authoritarianism and killing off hopes it could join the EU.
