Trump accused of ‘dodging’ Labor Day as Harris, Biden court union vote: Live

Joe Biden was met with chants of “thank you Joe!” as he began his remarks in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

“I’ve celebrated many labor days at Pittsburgh. It’s always good to be back with so many great friends,” the president told them. “Let me just say, it means so much to be with true friend, Vice President and the next great president of the United States of America.”

Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro delivered remarks in Pittsburgh, praising the records of both Kamala Harris and Joe Biden in regard to workers.

“Here’s what I want you to know about vice president Kamala Harris: she don’t let anyone mess with workers here in Pennsylvania, or anyone else in the country,” he said.

“She’s taken on those who would take advatange of workers, she’s put them behind bars, she’s stood up to the bullies and she has always won for us. That’s vice president Kamala Harris.”

Meanwhile, Robert F Kennedy Jr is suing to remove his name from the North Carolina ballots ahead of November’s presidential election – just months after he took legal action to get on them.

The Harris campaign has responded to Donald Trump’s recent, and brazen claim that he had “every right” to interfere with the 2020 presidential election.

“Everything Donald Trump has promised on the campaign trail – from ‘terminating’ the Constitution, to imprisoning his political opponents and promising to rule as a dictator on ‘day one’ – makes it clear that he believes he is above the law,” Harris-Walz 2024 Spokesperson Sarafina Chitika said.

“Now, Trump is claiming he had ‘every right’ to interfere in the 2020 election. He did not.

“While Donald Trump is pushing his false history about the past, the American people are ready for a new way forward. They know Vice President Harris is the tough-as-nails prosecutor we need to turn the page on chaos, fear, and division, and uphold the rule of law.”

Trump made the remarks on Sunday during an interview with Fox News, despite facing a slew of legal challenges, including a fresh indictment from Special Counsel Jack Smith over the former president’s election subversion case.

Last night in an interview with Fox News’ Mark Levin, Donald Trump admitted to interfering with the 2020 presidential election and claimed he had “every right” to do it.

“Whoever heard you get indicted for interfering with a presidential election where you have every right to do it, you get indicted and your poll numbers go up,” the former president said.

Several cars in the Walz motorcade were involved in a crash around 1pm on Monday, according to a pool reporter.

A staff member in a press van may have a broken arm and was treated by medics. According to the report others were “shaken” but largely unharmed in the incident.

Walz, who was travelling with Rep. Gwen Moore, was not traveling in any of the vehicles involved in the crash.

The Democratic vice presidential nominee is in Milwaukee, en route to speak at Laborfest at Summerfest grounds.
