Former President Donald Trump urged a New Mexico rally on Thursday to not make him “waste a whole damn half a day here,” by voting for his Democratic opponent.
The state hasn’t voted for a Republican on the presidential level since 2004. Trump suggested that he would win a number of Democratic states as long as the vote was “honest” as he continues to make his false election fraud claims.
With less than a week to go in the US presidential election race, Kamala Harris and Trump are making their final pitches to voters.
The Democratic presidential nominee has hit back at her Republican rival after he vowed to “protect” women “whether the women like it or not” at a rally in Green Bay, Wisconsin, on Wednesday.
“Donald Trump thinks he should get to make decisions about what you do with your body. Whether you like it or not,” Harris posted on X.
In a bizarre stunt prior to his speech, Trump had posed in a garbage truck dressed as a sanitation worker in an attempt to troll Harris and Joe Biden after the latter allegedly called MAGA voters “garbage” in anger over comedian Tony Hinchcliffe’s already-notorious Madison Square Garden joke about Puerto Rico.
