Right Side Broadcasting says we need a strong leader who will make the trains run on time
Kristi Noem warms up for Trump: "Kamala Harris sucks. Right? She sucks."
Trump takes a question from a woman who asks him about his plan to bring down grocery prices. He ends up ranting about migrants taking Black jobs and Hannibal Lecter.
Trump says he advises immigrants to who want to become US citizens to just cross the southern border illegally
TRUMP: The fact is that you know they want to get away from gas. And I have friends, they're into the cooking world -- I'm not, I just like to eat -- but they're into the cooking. And I don't know how you feel ...
While someone is having a medical emergency at the Trump town hall, a Trump fan yells out, "Joe and the ho gotta go!"
They are now playing Ave Maria at the Trump town hall as someone has a medical emergency in the crowd
There is a second medical emergency in the crowd just minutes after the first one. Trump's production team fires up Ave Maria again.
"Turn it up louder!" -- Trump calls for Ave Maria to be played again while his favorite chart is displayed, which he says "I sleep with every night. I kiss it."
Kristi Noem: "Life is hard, but it's harder when you're stupid. I think that perfectly explains Kamala Harris ... can you imagine what it's like to wake up as Kamala Harris?"
Wow -- this was weird. Trump wrapped up his "town hall" in Oaks, Pennsylvania, after just a few questions, and right after he said he would take a few more questions. More music then played while Trump stood around on stage. Deeply bizarre scenes.
they're now playing an opera version of "It's A Man's Man's Man's World" while Trump continues to bob around on stage. words fail.
Trump takes the mic again. He says he'll take another question, changes his mind, and calls Democrats "evil. They're evil."
He then tells his production crew to play YMCA "nice and loud" and wraps it up. Definitely one of the most bizarre Trump events I can recall.
Trump is now just standing on stage while religious music plays
they're now playing Sinéad while Trump bobs around and dances
Trump is still standing on stage bopping around to music fyi
Guns N' Roses is playing now. Can't make it up. Trump is still standing around.
We will all be dust and bones and Trump will still be standing onstage in Oaks, Pennsylvania, bopping around to loud music
i get the vibe they're about 5 minutes from passing around Kool-Aid
Trump gives Kristi Noem a smooch and finally walks off the stage as the end of "November Rain" plays

Walz in Green Bay: "I just came from Lambeau Field. First visit. My staff was like, 'don't say anything about the Vikings.' I said, that's like telling somebody not to swear in church! Of course you don't do that ... this year, the road to the WH goes through the NFC North"
Tim Walz on going on Fox News: "Our policies help the people who listen to Fox News. That's why we need to get out there."
Walz hits Trump for not releasing his medical records and says, "Trump said he would release his medical records ... I think he forgot to do it. He's been forgetting things ... it would be funny if it wasn't so dangerous."

Trump is going full nazi right out of the gate: "She's imported an army of illegal alien gang members and migrant criminals from dungeons all over the world."
huge reaction for Kamala Harris in Greenville, North Carolina
Kamala Harris: "I'm gonna tell you, it's gonna be a tight race. Until the very end. And we are running as the underdog. So we have some hard work ahead of us ... [but] with your help in 23 days, we will win."
The crowd starts chanting, "We will win! We will win!"
Harris on Trump: "Why does his staff want him to hide away? One must question -- are they afraid that people will see that he is too weak and unstable to lead America? Is that what's going on?"

I'm going to put together a thread covering Kamala Harris's Univision town hall. Follow along for clips and commentary.
The first q Harris fields is about the hurricane response. She says"there has been a lot of mis & disinformation about what we have been doing over the last two weeks and what we are gonna do going forward. And I have to stress that this is not a time for people to play politics"
Harris takes a tearful question from a woman whose mother recently died in part because she was an undocumented immigrant and as a result couldn't get the healthcare she needed. She responds with empathy and by explaining her immigration plan in detail.
