Donald Trump held a rally in Juneau, Wisconsin on Sunday afternoon at which he demanded that 60 Minutes give him an “apology.”
Trump backed out of the interview on Tuesday, just ahead of the vice presidential debate on CBS, the same network that airs 60 Minutes.
Earlier this week, CBS said that Trump committed to the interview while the Trump campaign told CNN that the interview was never “locked in” and that the network had “insisted on cutting out of the interview to do fact-checking.”
Meanwhile, Kamala Harris will go on a media blitz this week as she sits down for interviews with 60 Minutes, The View, late-night host Stephen Colbert and radio host Howard Stern with just 30 days left until Election Day.
In a preview for her own 60 Minutes interview, Harris was pressed about the US’s relationship with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu nearly one year after Hamas attacks on October 7 — questions she largely dodged.
Trump’s Wisconsin rally came just one day after he held a lie-filled event at the venue in Butler, Pennsylvania where he survived an assassination attempt just three months ago.
At Saturday’s rally, he suggested that his political opponents “maybe tried to kill me.”
Harris discusses what her mom taught her about ‘agency and autonomy’ on podcast
Kamala Harris attributed everything she knows about “agency” to her mom during her October 6 interview with popular podcast Call Her Daddy, which Spotify has listed as “the most listened-to podcast by women.”
The vice president and Democratic presidential nominee joined podcast host Alex Cooper in Washington DC for an unfiltered interview where they talked about her upbringing as well as sexual assault, abortion rights, and criticisms against her.
Harris discussed her childhood growing up with two divorced parents and being primarily raised by her mom, Shyamala Gopalan Harris. When asked by Cooper what “values” her mom “instilled” in her, she said she learned the importance of expressing her emotions.

Trump returned to Butler, the scene of his first assassination attempt. What’s changed?
Donald Trump returned to the Butler, Pennsylvania venue where he survived an assassination attempt three months ago — but the 2024 race has dramatically changed since then.
July 13 — the day that a lone gunman opened fire at the Butler rally, killing one, and injuring others, including the former president — marked a pivotal moment in the highly contested race.
Since then, President Joe Biden dropped out, a heavily scrutinized Secret Service identified its failures and underwent sweeping changes, Trump picked JD Vance as his running mate, enthusiasm for Vice President Kamala Harris grew and Trump lost his lead in the polls, and yet another alleged attempt on Trump’s life unfolded on September 15 at his Florida golf course.

Trump often touts his economic experience as a successful businessman — but economists worry his plans for a second term would be harmful
Donald Trump’s economic policies are extremely popular with voters and often what supporters cite when asked why they support the former president in his third bid for the White House. But economists beg to differ – and they’re begging the public to differ too.
On the surface, Trump’s vague plans to lower corporate taxes, extend his 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, implement tariffs on imported goods, eliminate taxes on tips and increase domestic employment opportunities sound appealing.
Though the former president has not released a comprehensive economic plan, he has consistently said he will lower costs for Americans and restore the nation’s finances back to a pre-pandemic era.

ICYMI: Trump reportedly asked Putin for advice about whether the US should help arm Ukraine
Donald Trump reportedly asked Vladimir Putin for his advice on whether the US should help arm Ukraine at their first in-person meeting.
The Republican presidential nominee, who has been vocal in his criticism of Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky, reportedly asked Putin “what do you think?” when the pair met in Hamburg in 2017, according to The New York Times.
Trump has wildly claimed Putin “would never have gone into Ukraine” if he were president and has touted his “very good relationship” with him several times.
The meeting — which took place three years after Russian forces invaded the Crimean peninsula — was “an opening” for Putin to begin exploiting Trump’s “escalating political grudge” against Ukraine in a bid to weaken US support for the country, officials who were privy to the exchange have shared with the newspaper.

Kamala Harris hits back at ‘childless’ attacks on Call Her Daddy podcast: ‘This is not the 1950s anymore’
Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders said last month that “my kids keep me humble” and that “unfortunately, Kamala Harris doesn’t have anything keeping her humble.”
Harris responded to the Republican governor’s statement on the latest episode of Call Her Daddy, a mega-popular podcast that Spotify calls the “most-listened-to podcast by women.”
“I feel sorry for [her],” Harris told podcast host Alex Cooper.
“I don’t think she understands that there are a whole lot of women out here who, one, are not aspiring to be humble, two, a whole lot of women out here who have a lot of love in their life, family in their life, and children in their life,” she added. ”And I think it’s really important for women to lift each other up.”

VP shares why she became a prosecutor on ‘Call Her Daddy’ podcast
Kamala Harris opened up about why she became a prosecutor on the mega-popular Call Her Daddy podcast.
“When I was in high school, my best friend, her name is Wanda, I learned was being sexually assaulted by her stepfather. And you know, I knew something was going on because she didn’t want to go home, she just seemed sad. And so she told me, and I immediately said, you have to come and stay with us,” Harris said.
“It upset me so, that someone, where they should feel safe and protected, were being so horribly abused and violated, right? And anyway, I decided at a young age I wanted to do the work of protecting vulnerable people,” the vice president continued.
“I mean, look, I was raised, I’m the eldest of two daughters, I was raised with my mother saying, since practically the day my sister was born, you know, look out for your sister, so maybe it started when I was two, but Wanda and her experience really convinced me and made me realize how this can happen and what we need to do to stand against it,” she added.
“A lot of my career was as a prosecutor. And so it was about really wanting to protect the most vulnerable and where they did not have the power, and it wasn’t of their own choosing, but because they were the subject of abuse, because they were the subject of an imbalance of power, right? And so a lot of the work that I’ve done has been about wanting to restore, to the extent I could play a role in that, their right to have justice, to have a voice.”
Here’s more about her appearance on the hit podcast.
