White House
On the Campaign Trail, Biden Blasts Trump As 'Reckless'
Kanye West Releases Presidential Campaign Ad
With three weeks until Election Day, President Trump and his Democratic rival, Joe Biden, are hitting the campaign trail hard this week.
The president was back in his home state of Florida late Monday night for his first campaign rally since contracting COVID-19.
"I am so energized by your prayers and humbled by your support," Trump told the crowd gathered in Sanford, FL. "We've had such incredible support and here we are."
Trump used the stage to tout his appointment of three judges to the Supreme Court, including the most re- cent selection of Judge Amy Coney Barrett.
"But who would have thought, we're on number three? You know, other pres- idents have never had any," the president remarked. "I will say this: it's driving them crazy," he said of his critics.
JOE BIDEN AND PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP
Rapper and unlikely pres- idential candidate Kanye West has dropped the first advertisement for his presi- dential campaign, just 22 days ahead of Election Day.
On Monday afternoon, West shared the video, which is a little longer than one minute, on Twitter to his nearly 40 million followers. In the video, he discusses how Americans should focus on strengthening their reli- gion and faith to improve the country.
The video ends with an “I
KANYE WEST
am Kanye West and I ap-
prove this message” endorse- ment and text urging people to write him in on the ballot.
Eleven days after testing positive for the virus, the president's doctor releasing a memo saying he's not in- fectious anymore and tested negative on consecutive days for the coronavirus.
Trump's Florida rally, packed with thousands of people, was his first stop this week that will include events in the key battleground states of Pennsylvania, Iowa, North Carolina, and Wiscon- sin.
It's a much different cam- paign scene for his rival, Joe Biden, who was out in
Toledo, Ohio, the same day holding a drive-in rally.
Attendees there chose to sit in their cars as the former vice president accused the incumbent of acting irre- sponsible.
"His reckless personal conduct since his diagnosis has been unconscionable," argued Biden.
The latest ABC polls show Trump trailing Biden by 12 points. But many Americans are distrustful of the polls since they were wrong in the Trump-Clinton contest of 2016.
White Supremacist
Group Wanted To Put
Governor On 'Trial '
The group of men, all white, was reportedly upset about Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s restrictions that came about due to the coron- avirus pandemic and wanted to rebel and create a “self-suf-
GOV. GRETCHEN WHITMER
ficient” society. Court docu- ments say their intention was to invade the Michigan state capitol building and take hostages.
According to the FBI, the men have been plotting since at least June and six others linked to them were also planning to storm Whit- mer’s vacation home in Delaware and take her cap- tive. Those individuals were identified in a criminal com- plaint as Adam Fox, Barry Croft, Ty Garbin, Kaleb Franks, Daniel Harris and Brandon Caserta.
They were reportedly plotting to force Whitmer to stand “trial” for “treason” be- fore the Nov. 3 election, ac- cording to the News.
The individuals involved were backers of what is known in white supremacist and domestic terrorist ex- temist circles as “the booga- loo,” or a revolution that upends American society into a second civil war.
