#Harris spox Jen O’Malley Dillon: It is okay to be nervous & to be anxious, but don't be freaked out bc we feel very good about where we are. We are very confident we're going to win this thing. & not just bc we want to win. It's bc what we're seeing in numbers & early voting, what we're seeing with this extraordinary enthusiasm everywhere we go, we are seeing signs where we look to make sure that we are on track to win very close race

Elon #Musk and Tucker Carlson, in a new conversation, joke about "no one" trying to assassinate Vice President #Harris.
Musk: "I made a joke, which I realized I deleted, which is like no one's even bothering to try to kill Kamala because it's pointless." Both laugh. "What do you achieve? Nothing. Just find another puppet."
Carlson: "It's deeply true though."
Vice President #Harris, responding to NBC News reporting that Ron #DeSantis is ignoring her calls ahead of Hurricane #Milton:
"Moments of crisis, if nothing else, should really be the moment that anyone who calls themselves a leader says they're going to put politics aside and put the people first. People are in desperate need of support right now and playing political games with this moment, in these crisis situations … it's just utterly irresponsible and it is selfish."
Good.
Vice President #Harris calls out #Trump's lies about #FEMA on The View:
"It's profound, and it is the height of irresponsibility and frankly, callousness, the idea that somebody would be playing political games for the sake of himself. But this is so consistent about Donald Trump. He puts himself before the needs of others. I fear that he really lacks empathy on a very basic level to care about the suffering of other people."
No other country impacts Canada the way America does, especially when they vote in a new president. We asked #UniversityOfCalgary #PoliticalScience prof & "#WhatNow?!? An Alberta Politics Newsletter" creator Dr @JLisaYoung what #Election2024 means for us

NEW: On Oct. 21, Vice President #Harris will join Liz #Cheney for a series of moderated conversations in suburban communities across #Pennsylvania, #Wisconsin, and #Michigan, "as part of her ongoing efforts to earn the support of swing voters."
Hell yes.
Kamala #Harris on CNN: "I think we need to take a look at the filibuster to be honest with you."
Amen.
#Harris tells MSNBC "the American people deserve so much better" when asked about #Trump calling her a 'shit Vice President.'
"What you see in my opponent … really is— it demeans the office and I have said — and I am very clear about this — Donald Trump should never again stand behind the seal of the President of the United States."

#Trump says he's about to speak to #Netanyahu and says, "Biden is trying to hold him back ... he probably should be doing the opposite, actually."

Howard Stern: A new report just came out today that #Trump was sending COVID tests to #Putin and Putin said, ‘don't let anyone know.’ What do you make of that?
VP #Harris: Trump gets played by dictators. They are manipulating him with flattery and favor. Remember, people were dying by the hundreds and couldn’t get testing kits. And Trump is sending tests to Russia to a murderous dictator for his personal use while he was telling Americans to put bleach in their blood
#Trump flubbed anchor Sage Steele's name at a town hall event, calling her "Paige."
"Thank you very much. Thank you. Let's have a little fun, Paige. OK?" Trump told Steele, who stood next to him onstage at Sunday's event in Lancaster, #Pennsylvania. Steele moderated the town hall.
#Harris campaign quickly posted footage of the incident on Twitter, where it had received more than 800,000 views by Monday a.m.”

#KamalaHarris announced a plan today to expand Medicare's home health care coverage for older Americans in an effort to support the "sandwich generation" caring for both kids and aging parents.
Savings from negotiating drug prices will help fund it.
Here's a quick Q&A with 2 scholars of long-term care, to assess what’s known so far about the plan:

Hundreds of #Doctors Are Demanding #Trump’s Health Records
The ex-president promised hard evidence that he was fit to serve. Where is it?
After Trump’s very #weird week, >400 doctors & health professionals are questioning his #mental & physical #fitness to serve, & calling for him to release his #MedicalRecords.
The development…comes about a week after the group Doctors for #Harris first released the letter, w/a little more than ½ the 448 signatures it has now.

Gov. #Walz in Reno: "There's news reporting that Donald #Trump has had as many as seven private phone calls with Vladimir #Putin. I can guarantee you that Kamala #Harris and I do not have dictators on speed dial. Look, it's pretty simple. You get it. Our allies don't trust him. The people who work with him know how dangerous he is."
Via @Brandi_Buchman:
#Harris on #Trump reportedly sending COVID tests to #Putin:
"Remember what those days were like?... People dying by 100s every day...in hosp, w/o fam, where the only touch they had was of a nurse they hadn't met bc their fam couldn't get there?"
"He's giving tests to Putin? Think about what this means. On top of him sending love letters to Kim Jong Un. He thinks Putin is his friend? Think about the Amer. ppl. They shd be your 1st friend."

We've been waiting to see whether #Harris' emphasis on GOP endorsements will pay off. This, plus Siena poll showing 4% gains among GOPers, suggest it is.

Bluff called, Trump:
“#Harris, responding to #Trump's claims about her IQ, said she would take a cognitive test — and "would challenge him to take the same one."
"This is what he has resorted to, and I think he actually is increasingly unstable and unhinged and has resorted to name calling because he actually has no plan for the American people," Harris said in an interview with "CBS Evening News”
