Trump fawns over Bret Baier’s ‘tough’ Fox News interview with Harris amid report of new bid to silence Stormy Daniels: Live

This is what Sebastian Stan and Jeremy Strong had to say on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme this morning about Trump’s insane Truth Social post about their new film.

GOP establishment members are becoming increasingly concerned that Trump is spending more time airing personal grievances and obsessions than talking about Harris’s policies.

Polling suggests that Trump has an advantage over Harris in many key policy areas, such as the economy, but Marc Short, former chief of staff to Mike Pence during his time as VP, said he needs to remind voters of his positions.

“He can make an appeal that gets away from personality and appeals to people who may not like him but do like his policies,” he told The Washington Post.

“Staying focused on the issues does that; if you’re commenting on other things, it I think can remind reluctant voters why they have concerns.”

Trump had an opportunity to do just that during a town hall event in Oaks, Pennsylvania, on Monday night.

Instead, after taking a few softball questions, the Republican presidential nominee spent almost 40 minutes swaying to music on the stage.

Gustaf Kilander has more.

Rhian Lubin has more on the Fox man’s post-match comments on his encounter with Harris yesterday.

In an attempt to boost Trump’s record on healthcare, his running mate touted his family members obtaining private insurance for the first time under the former president’s administration.

However, he failed to mention a key fact – it was through the Affordable Care Act, better known as Obamacare.

Here’s Ariana Baio’s report.

The former president’s eldest son is reportedly leading an effort to compile a list of people who would be banned from serving in a second Trump administration should that come to pass.

On the list are people connected to Project 2025, first-term staffers who resigned in protest after the Capitol riot on January 6 and those seen as lacking loyalty to his father, two ex-Trump officials told Politico.

Donald Trump had “no sense of who he was in front of or who he was talking to” when he made a shocking slur about his Democratic rival Kamala Harris during a recent dinner for billionaire donors in New York, according to New York Times journalist Maggie Haberman.

Longtime Trump observer Haberman and her colleagues Jonathan Swan and Shane Goldmacher reported over the weekend that the Republican presidential nominee had vented his frustrations about Harris out-fundraising him by launching into a grievance-filled rant at the exclusive gathering.

During the tirade, Trump had angrily referred to the vice president as “retarded” and also rebuked affluent Jewish Americans for not backing him, the report alleged.

This is what Haberman had to say about that episode and other recent examples of Trump’s erratic public behavior in conversation with CNN’s Kaitlan Collins.

Here’s a look at where the key players will be today.

• Kamala Harris is touring Wisconsin, stopping off in Milwaukee, La Crosse and Green Bay.
• Her running mate Tim Walz will be in Durham and Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
• Donald Trump will meanwhile attend the 79th Alfred E Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner in New York, a Catholic gala emceed by comedian Jim Gaffigan (who has been playing Walz on Saturday Night Live of late). Trump was busy last month rebuking Harris for not attending but made waves himself at the same event in 2016 by attacking rival Hillary Clinton during his remarks, which was not exactly in the spirit of the occasion.
• His running mate JD Vance will be in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, keeping up the pressure campaign on the swing states.
• Trump cheerleader Elon Musk will also be continuing his series of “talks” in the same state.

The Republican also took part in a pre-taped Fox event with Harris Faulkner yesterday in which he made the embarrassing admission that he had to ask the “young, fantastically attractive” Alabama Senator Katie Britt (yuck) what IVF was before deciding whether he was for or against it, despite outrageously pronouncing himself the “father” of that science earlier this week.

For good measure, here’s Kamala’s two-word assessment of his IVF babble, by the way.
