Donald Trump in 'obvious mental decline', says Michelle Obama

Trump in 'obvious mental decline', says Michelle Obama as she urges voters to shun former president

Kamala Harris is held to a different standard to Donald Trump, Michelle Obama says, as the former first lady describes herself as "angry" at the "indifference" towards the Republican candidate's behaviour.

"I hope you'll forgive me if I'm a little angry that we are indifferent to his erratic behaviour, his obvious mental decline, his history as a convicted felon," she says at the rally.

"A known slumlord, a predator found liable for sexual abuse, all this while we pick apart Kamala's answers in interviews he doesn't even have the courage to do."

"So I am praying that those of us contemplating voting for Trump or not voting at all will snap out of whatever fog they are in," she adds.

"In any other profession or arena, Trump's criminal track record and amoral character would be embarrassing and shameful and disqualifying."

What really drew the crowd to Elon Musk's event?

Elon Musk, the billionaire owner of social media site X and outspoken Donald Trump backer, is expected to appear at the Republican candidate's rally tonight in New York.

He hosted an event of his own last night in the neighbouring state of Pennsylvania - and our US correspondent Mark Stone was there to witness a strange evening.

The crowd had been queuing for several hours, only for Mr Musk to arrive late without apology or explanation.

From there, it was a meandering evening with a little substance - and, of course, a million-dollar win for one member of the audience.

Harris sets contrast with Trump - portraying rival as sitting in Oval Office with 'enemies list'

As we've been reporting, Kamala Harris is in Philadelphia, meeting voters across the city.

She's just been to a church service, after which she told reporters she's hoping to speak with people all over the city "about what we all have in common" and a "collective desire to bring the country together".

"This obviously will be in stark contrast to Donald Trump," she added, accusing him of using "dark and divisive language" even more than before.

"Just imagine the Oval Office on 20 January. It's going to be one of two people.

"If it's Donald Trump... it will be him sitting at that desk stewing over his enemies list. He is full of grievance. He is full of dark language that is about retribution and revenge."

She also said she would be focused on her "to-do list" and the American people, if she wins.

Trump ad featuring assassination attempt footage to air

More than three months after an assassination attempt on Donald Trump, his campaign is expected to use footage from that incident for the first time in an advert.

A campaign adviser has told our US partner network NBC News that clips of the 13 July shooting will run in a national ad during the third quarter of the Philadelphia Eagles NFL match against the Cincinnati Bengals today.

It is a two-minute spot amounting to a closing argument, NBC adds, and while there's contrast with rival Kamala Harris, it is largely focussing on Mr Trump.

Harris says she is not concerned by Trump-Netanyahu talks

Kamala Harris says she is not concerned about recent talks between Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu and rejected a suggestion that they could undermine what the current US government is trying to achieve.

The former US president said last week that he'd had a "very nice call" with Mr Netanyahu the previous weekend and that the Israeli leader had asked his opinion about what to do with Iran, prior to yesterday's strikes.

Mr Trump and Mr Netanyahu have also spoken on at least one other occasion recently.

Asked today whether discussions between the pair could undermine the Biden administration's goals, Ms Harris replied: "No."

Former Trump assistant rejects Nazi parallels

Ahead of Donald Trump's address at Madison Square Garden, New York, his opponents have highlighted the Nazi rally that took place at the same venue in 1939.

I spoke to Marc Lotter, former assistant to Donald Trump when he was president. 

He firmly rejected any parallels, pointing out basketball team the New York Knicks play their home games there in the NBA.

"Madison Square Garden is one of the historic arenas in the world, definitely in the country," he said.

"It didn't stop Hillary having her inaugural event there after she was elected to the senate in 2000.

"I would dare say that [New York] Knicks fans and people who go to see Billy Joel aren't Nazis."
