At the legendary arena, a large list of Trump’s most prominent supporters joined the 78-year-old presidential contender, from SpaceX founder Elon Musk, Hulk Hogan, and UFC CEO Dana White to running mate JD Vance and other prominent Republican politicians. In a rare campaign appearance, Melania Trump, the former first lady, also introduced her husband.”
What is Trump planning to do this week?
With a series of swing state rallies, Trump is beginning his final full week of campaigning before Election Day, following his historic night in New York.

Trump then travels to Henderson, Nevada, on Thursday, before going back east for engagements in Salem, Virginia, on Saturday, and Milwaukee, on Friday.
Trump’s final campaign message focuses on immigration and the economy.
As Election Day draws near, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump assured a throng at Madison Square Garden on Sunday that he will usher in “America’s new golden age” during a boisterous, celebrity-filled rally at one of the country’s historic arenas.
Trump began his part of the gathering by restating his key talking points on immigration and the economy in a White House campaign that is still very close. After mentioning his intention to deport undocumented immigrants, he prompted chants of “send them back” and demanded greater tax breaks for those taking care of loved ones at home.
A comedian who supports Trump calls Puerto Rico a “floating pile of garbage” as he begins his rally.
During Trump’s historic closing speech at Madison Square Garden, a comic made jokes about Latinos having too many children, compared Puerto Rico to a floating garbage island, and mentioned “carving watermelons” with a Black friend.
The audience laughed and moaned during comedian Hinchcliffe’s opening remarks for Trump’s speech. Regarding Latinos, Hinchcliffe, whose comic series “Kill Tony” has almost two million YouTube viewers, stated, “Just know that they love making babies, too.” Yes, they do. “That’s one of my buddies,” he added, pointing to a Black man in the crowd. Last night, he had a Halloween party. We enjoyed ourselves. Together, we carved watermelons.
What location will Kamala Harris be at on Sunday?
In Pennsylvania, a crucial battleground state, Kamala Harris has a busy day of campaigning while Trump hosts a large rally at Madison Square Garden.
The Democratic presidential candidate began her agenda by attending a religious service at The Religious of Christian Compassion in West Philadelphia on Sunday morning. Harris also traveled across Philadelphia to speak at Freddy and Tony’s Restaurant, a Puerto Rican eatery. On Sunday, her campaign unveiled a plan for Puerto Rico’s “opportunity economy” that would prioritize fixing the island’s electrical grid and generating employment prospects.
Reaction to the Washington Post’s decision to not support a presidential contender
Some of The Washington Post’s staff and subscribers have taken issue with the publication’s announcement that it will not support a presidential candidate in the next election. The decision deviates from decades of custom, as the publication has supported Democrats in the majority of presidential elections since the 1970s.
The leadership of the Washington Post Guild, which represents the paper’s employees, expressed “deep concern” over the move. Since the announcement, hundreds of people have commented on The Washington Post’s news piece about the decision, with many subscribers stating that they had canceled their subscriptions.
According to Ms. Garza, the paper’s owner, millionaire Patrick Soon-Shiong, reportedly vetoed the LA Times’ plan to support Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris.
After Ms. Garza resigned, Mr. Soon-Shiong disputed that claim on social media, stating that he had “given the opportunity” for the editorial board of the paper “to draft a factual analysis of all the POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE policies by EACH candidate during their tenures at the White House, and how these policies affected the nation.”Rupert Murdoch’s media empire’s newspaper, The New York Post, endorsed Republican nominee Donald Trump on Friday.
The editorial stated, “America is ready for today’s heroic Donald Trump to reclaim the presidency.”
