The news is a particular blow to Vice President Kamala Harris, since the union was the first to endorse Joe Biden's presidential bid in 2020. In a statement, Edward A. Kelly, the union's president, said that the group's executive board voted on Thursday by 1.2% not to endorse. Both presidential campaigns made personal appeals to the union’s members at a convention in Boston in August, with Minnesota Gov. Last month, the Teamsters union, which represents over 1 million truck drivers, freight workers and others, also declined to endorse a presidential candidate. The AFL-CIO and the United Auto Workers union — which represent millions of workers combined — have each endorsed Harris this cycle.

Some of the ads feature doctors speaking passionately about abortion and saying that Republican candidates shouldn't represent "us" or "our" communities in Congress. But in at least four instances, House Majority PAC, a super PAC aligned with House Democratic leadership, featured Republican-blasting doctors in their ads who did not live in the district where they were advertising. The path to the House majority runs through all four of the districts where these ads ran. Since then, both doctors and patients have often become key personal messengers on abortion for Democrats. But Republicans blasted House Majority PAC over the ads, calling them misleading and accusing the group of spreading falsehoods about GOP incumbents and candidates.

Former GOP Sen. Jeff Flake endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for president on Sunday, writing in a statement that he wanted to support a presidential candidate who represents “a new generation of leadership based not on grievances of the past, but hope for the future.”“I’ve served with Kamala in the U.S. Senate. I want to support a president who understands and appreciates the difference.”Even before the 2020 presidential election, Flake had long sparred with Donald Trump. In August, the campaign unveiled more than two dozen Republican endorsements for the vice president. And in September, former GOP Rep. Liz Cheney, another high-profile anti-Trump Republican, endorsed Harris. Days later, her father, former Vice President Dick Cheney, also said he would vote for Harris.

Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., on Sunday blasted the Biden administration for not defining "what victory means in Ukraine" and said that a future Trump administration would end the war "with a negotiated settlement." And I think that's what [former President] Donald Trump is trying to say," Rubio said during an interview on NBC News' "Meet the Press." His remarks come after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's visited the U.S. last week for meetings with Trump, President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. Meanwhile, Trump's running mate, Ohio Sen. JD Vance, who has been a staunch opponent to aiding Ukraine, sparred with Zelenskyy last week.

Ohio Sen. JD Vance is set to participate in a town hall in Pennsylvania on Saturday with evangelical religious leader Lance Wallnau, who said after this month's presidential debate that Vice President Kamala Harris used "witchcraft." Wallnau has warned that Harris is being guided by demonic forces and has used “the spirit of Jezebel” to deceive followers. “She can look presidential,” Wallnau said on an online talk program this month, referring to Harris' debate performance. Lance Wallnau said Vice President Kamala Harris employed "witchcraft" following this month's debate. He has hosted Wallnau on his podcast, endorsed Wallnau’s voter mobilization efforts and has personally invoked the Seven Mountains Mandate.

In a bid to coax Donald Trump back onto the debate stage with Vice President Kamala Harris, Democrats plan to launch a new messaging campaign dubbing the former president a "chicken" for saying he won't debate again. The chicken billboards, which will first appear at Trump's rally Monday in Indiana, Pennsylvania, include a digitally altered image of Trump in a chicken suit alongside the words "There's no debate: Donald Trump's a chicken." Harris and Trump met for their first debate, hosted by ABC News, this month in Philadelphia. On Saturday, Harris' campaign announced that she'd accepted CNN's invitation to participate in a debate on Oct. 23. The Trump campaign didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.

Sen. Raphael Warnock, D-Ga., on Sunday said GOP gubernatorial candidate and North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson previously called Martin Luther King Jr. “worse than a maggot,” according to a CNN report. During a rally last month in Asheboro, North Carolina, Trump wished Robinson luck and told attendees, “Mark’s got to win. I said, I think you’re better than Martin Luther King. I think you are Martin Luther King times two,” the former president said at the time.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., on Sunday told reporters that there’s a “really good chance” that the government will not shut down at the end of the month. “We really now have some good news: There’s a really good chance we can avoid the government shutdown with all the pain it would cause for New York and America this week,” Schumer said. Discussions about keeping the government open are particularly tense now, with less than 50 days left before the presidential election. There’s too great a consequence for the American people.”Johnson is expected to unveil and vote on a short-term bill to fund the government this week. Last week, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., lambasted the idea of shutting down the government, especially so close to the election.

Sen. Lindsey Graham told NBC News’ “Meet the Press” on Sunday that North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson “has an obligation to defend himself” following reports last week that Robinson made lewd posts on a pornographic website over a decade ago. Currently, Nebraska splits its three Electoral College votes by congressional district, with the Republican nominee usually taking two votes and the Democratic nominee taking one. Maine is the only other state in the nation to participate in the Electoral College this way. On Thursday, Nebraska GOP Sen. Pete Ricketts told NBC News that 48 states have a winner-take-all electoral vote system and Nebraska should too.

The largest single-contributor donations went to MAGA Inc., the super PAC backing Trump, with Wisconsin roofing billionaire Diane Hendricks, a prolific GOP megadonor, giving $10 million to the group. On the Democratic side, tech entrepreneurs were the biggest donors to FF PAC, also known as Future Forward, a super PAC backing Harris’ presidential bid. Moskovitz donated $3 million to FF PAC, while Hastings, Jeff Lawson and Erica Lawson each gave $1 million. Super PACs like FF PAC and MAGA Inc. are havens for prolific political megadonors like Hendricks, Lutnick and Hastings because, unlike campaigns and their affiliated committees, super PACs don’t have limits on how much individuals can donate.

Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign on Saturday said it would accepted an invitation to participate in a second debate with former President Donald Trump. The potential debate would take place on Oct. 23 and be hosted by CNN, Harris campaign chair Jennifer O’Malley Dillon said in a statement. “The American people deserve another opportunity to see Vice President Kamala Harris and Donald Trump debate before they cast their ballots,” O’Malley Dillon said, adding, “Donald Trump should have no problem agreeing to this debate. O’Malley Dillon’s statement comes after Trump and Harris met for their first debate on Sept. 10, which was hosted by ABC. An Oct. 23 debate would pit Trump and Harris against each other less than two weeks before Election Day, but weeks into early voting in multiple states.

In today’s edition, we explore one positive and on negative development for Kamala Harris' support from organized labor. The influential Teamsters union on Wednesday declined to issue an endorsement in the presidential race, Megan Lebowitz and Alexandra Marquez report. Prior to the announcement, the Teamsters also released survey data showing more rank-and-file members preferred to endorse Trump than Harris. Still, Harris has won the endorsement of just about every other major labor union in the country (the International Association of Fire Fighters remains a notable holdout). Instead, the Trump campaign appears to be approaching this apparent assassination attempt as an opportunity rather than as a moment to reflect.

The Teamsters on Wednesday declined to endorse a candidate for president, the first time in decades that the union hasn't backed a candidate in the presidential election. It found that almost 60% of rank-and-file union members preferred to endorse Trump, while 34% backed Harris, according to an electronic member poll. The law forced union workers to accept a union contract that had been brokered by the Biden administration. The union endorsed Biden in 2020. The AFL-CIO, which represents dozens of unions and millions of workers, and the United Auto Workers union have each endorsed Harris.

Former President Donald Trump is planning to visit Springfield, Ohio, "soon," a source familiar with the planning told NBC News. “In Springfield, [Ohio], they’re eating the dogs.

Sen. JD Vance, former President Donald Trump’s running mate, on Sunday backed away from comments he made in August saying that Trump would veto a federal abortion ban if it came to his desk. “I’ve learned my lesson on speaking for the president before he and I have actually talked about an issue,” Vance told NBC News’ “Meet the Press,” just days after Trump publicly said he hadn’t ever discussed with Vance what he’d do if an abortion ban crossed his desk as president. “I didn’t discuss it with JD, in all fairness,” Trump said during Tuesday’s debate with Vice President Kamala Harris. She won’t even come close to it,” Trump added. He wants abortion policy to be made by the states.”

Former President Donald Trump said Thursday that he will not participate in any future debates against Vice President Kamala Harris. "There will be no debate," he said in all-caps on his Truth Social website, before criticizing the vice president's debate performance. Trump has claimed the moderators were unfair and was initially noncommittal about participating in another matchup with Harris. In multiple TruthSocial posts, Trump had said he was considering debate offers from Fox, CBS and NBC. During an interview with "Fox and Friends" on Wednesday, host Steve Doocy said the network on Tuesday night had offered the Trump and Harris campaigns three potential dates in October for an additional debate.

Following Trump's comment, Johnson tied a six-month spending bill, or continuing resolution, to the SAVE Act, GOP-sponsored legislation that would overhaul elections.
