In an unprecedented move, Democrat Kamala Harris rallied support from over 100 former Republican officeholders, urging them to prioritize 'country first' and reconsider backing Donald Trump. Harris stressed the patriotic duty of GOP voters to choose her party this election, citing concerns about Trump's leadership style.

The Democratic candidate, speaking near George Washington's historic Delaware crossing, accused Trump of undermining democratic values. She vowed to include Republicans in her administration and form a bipartisan council for advisory roles. Harris aims to secure votes in battleground regions by drawing contrasts with Trump's approach.

While Harris campaigned in Pennsylvania, Trump targeted Latino voters in Miami. Engaging in a town hall, Trump defended stringent immigration policies while acknowledging the workforce's need for immigrant labor. He also faced scrutiny over past controversies, including comments related to Jan. 6, and the changing dynamics within the Republican Party.
