Former President Donald Trump traded his signature suit jacket for a fast-food apron Sunday as he looked to expand his advantage over Kamala Harris with blue-collar workers who have flocked behind his presidential campaign.
The spectacle of Mr. Trump taking orders and working the fryer at McDonald’s attracted thousands of supporters, and the stage was selected so he could rehash his unproven claim that Ms. Harris lied when she said she worked at McDonald’s while in college.
“I’m going for a job right now at McDonald’s,” Mr. Trump told reporters after arriving in Pennsylvania.

President Donald Trump was having a great time working at McDonald's on Sunday.
If anyone else had done it, they probably would have looked awkward. But he looked like he was in his element, especially when he was greeting people at the drive-thru window and handing out orders. This was the "joy" and the fun that the Kamala campaign can't duplicate. The customers and the crowd outside just loved it, and you could tell he was having a great time. The reason? He naturally likes interacting with people, unlike Kamala. But it's also an indication that he'll stop at nothing to serve

Four years ago, a sitting president — rejected by American voters — attempted to seize a second term anyway, plunging the nation into confusion, conflict and, in its last gasp, violence.
Now, Donald Trump’s political comeback has revived a sense of dread among the officials and institutions who stood in his way last time: Could it happen again?
Dozens of interviews with people deeply familiar or involved with the election process point to a clear consensus: Not only could Trump make a second attempt at overturning an election he loses, he and his allies are already laying the groundwork.
“The threat remains,”

Hamas chief Yahya Sinwar was prepared to hide out the war in his secret bunker beneath Gaza flushed with UN food rations, thousands in cash, cologne and his own shower, Israeli officials say.
Footage from the Israeli military gives a peek into how the Oct. 7 mastermind spent his days in Khan Younis during the first half of the war — before he was forced to flee to Rafah, where he was killed last Thursday.
The resurfaced video from February depicts a bright and cozy living quarters for Sinwar, 61, and his guards, with a fully stocked kitchen that Israeli Defense Forces officials said would help the terrorists ride out

The US is investigating a leak of highly classified US intelligence about Israel’s plans for retaliation against Iran, according to three people familiar with the matter. One of the people familiar confirmed the documents’ authenticity.
The leak is “deeply concerning,” a US official told CNN.
The documents, dated October 15 and 16, began circulating online Friday after being posted on Telegram by an account called “Middle East Spectator.”
They are marked top secret and have markings indicating they are meant to be seen only by the US and its “Five Eyes” allies — Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United Kingdom. They describe preparations Israel

Over 1 million voters have cast a ballot in Georgia just days after the critical swing state opened up its early voting polls.
The milestone sets a new turnout record for early voting in the Peach State during a general election, the Georgia Secretary of State (SOS) office confirmed with Newsweek over email Friday. State officials celebrated the record over social media, including Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, who posted to his X (formerly Twitter) account, "Great job, Georgia!"
"1 Million voters have cast their ballots early," Raffensperger wrote. "Election directors across Georgia have been working tirelessly to make this possible."

Former President Barack Obama came out swinging at Friday’s rally in Arizona, questioning former President Donald Trump’s competence.
The 44th president sharply criticized his successor throughout the appearance in Tucson, taking aim at Mr. Trump’s ability to articulate policy positions and his age. Mr. Obama’s comments come just months after President Biden, 81, dropped out of the race over concerns about his coherence.
If elected, Mr. Trump, 78, would be the oldest president in U.S. history by the end of his term. “Along with his intentions, there is also a question of his competence,” Obama said. “He’s giving two, 2 1/2-hour speeches. Just word salads.

A tentative agreement has been reached between Boeing and the roughly 33,000 machinists that went on strike last month, the union announced Saturday.
“We are finalizing the strike settlement agreement, which will be completed soon, along with additional contract details to provide you with a clear understanding of the offer,” the International Association of Machinists (IAM) said in a post on social platform X.
The latest proposal from Boeing includes a 35 percent wage increase over four years and reinstates an incentive pay plan, with a guaranteed minimum annual payout of 4 percent. The union, which represents roughly 600,000 active and retired machinists,

CNN senior political data reporter Harry Enten said Friday on “News Central” that Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign has “stalled” while former President Donald Trump is “more popular” compared to 2016 and 2020.
Enten said, “If you believe Donald Trump has somehow become less popular over time, let me change your mind about that. In fact, he is more popular at this point in the campaign than he was at this point in the 2020 campaign or the 2016 campaign.”
He continued, “I think there’s this real question in. Kamala Harris’s mind, in the campaign’s mind, why is Trump more popular now than he was at this point in 2020 and 2016?.

Democrat Senate candidates in key swing states are pleading to Trump voters for support – a bad sign for their own campaigns and a flashing warning sign to Kamala Harris.
In Michigan, Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) is openly courting voters who support Trump. In Pennsylvania, Sen. Bob Casey’s (D-PA) campaign released an ad showing Donald Trump signing a bill in the Oval Office, with the narrator touting Casey sided with Trump on his historic trade deal ending NAFTA. And in Wisconsin, leftwing Sen. Tammy Baldwin’s (D-WI) campaign released an ad broadcasting her alignment with Trump on trade policies.

Al Smith, the beloved four-term governor of New York, was the first Catholic to appear on a major party ballot for president.
The 1928 presidential campaign was marred by the Herbert Hoover organization unleashing a wave of anti-Catholic bigotry, aided by the Klu Klux Klan and other nativist groups, that accused Smith of being an agent of the papacy and hence the devil himself. Protestant preachers railed against him from the pulpit. Even mainstream protestant churches warned against Smith's "dual loyalties."
The Smith campaign was such a disaster that neither major party would put up a Catholic candidate for thirty years, when Democrats nominated John F. Kennedy.

A new ad for Pennsylvania Democratic senator Bob Casey features a married couple with different politics but who find common ground on the incumbent senator. On politics, we just don’t agree — except for Bob Casey. He’s independent. That’s right! Casey’s leading the effort to stop corporate greed-flation and price gouging. Casey bucked Biden to protect fracking and he sided with Trump to end NAFTA and put tariffs on China to stop them from cheating.
First, don’t buy the spin that Bob Casey is some independent maverick; he voted with the Biden administration’s position 98.5 percent of the time.
Second, note Casey isn’t
