    Harris warns of 'brutally serious' consequences if Trump returns; Obama urges unity at rally | N18G

    On October 28, Vice President Kamala Harris warned at a rally in Ann Arbor, Michigan, that Donald Trump’s return to the presidency would have "brutally serious" consequences. She emphasized that there would be no one to stop him, not even the Supreme Court, which had previously indicated his immunity from accountability while in office. Current polls show Harris and Trump are neck-and-neck in critical battleground states as they both vie for undecided and independent voters while energizing their bases ahead of the November 5 election. Former President Barack Obama joined Harris in Pennsylvania, urging voters to reject "politics of division and hatred," a call sparked by controversial remarks made by a comedian at a Trump rally regarding Puerto Rico. Puerto Rican voters are crucial in swing states like Pennsylvania, and both candidates are competing fiercely for the Latino vote, which has trended more Republican but still leans Democratic.
