Trump told his audience in Pittsburgh that the US mixed martial arts organization UFC should set up a league in which professional fighters would fight with migrants.
“In the end, I want the migrants to compete against the champions. And I think the migrants could actually win – that’s how nasty some of these guys are,” Trump said. A little later, he assured the crowd he had whipped up that serious crimes committed by migrants would be punished harshly in the future if his Republicans won the election. “I hereby demand the death penalty for any migrant who kills an American citizen or a police officer,” said the 78-year-old to cheers from numerous supporters.

Trump made restricting illegal immigration one of his central issues in the election campaign, repeatedly portrayed migrants as enemies of America and deliberately used false claims to create sentiment against foreigners. During the election campaign appearance in Pennsylvania, Trump emphatically addressed the almost 13 million residents of what is probably the most important swing state. “If we win in Pennsylvania, we win everything,” he shouted to his supporters. The Republican continued that he had waited four years for this moment. “America, November 5, 2024 will be the day of liberation.” It was the second of four planned appearances by the 78-year-old on Monday (local time).
US election 2024: “It will be a tricky situation”
Kamala Harris or Donald Trump? How close is the race for the White House really? And when will it all end? No matter how the election turns out, USA correspondent Thomas Spang is sure that there will be repercussions.
“Left-wing radical crazy people”
At his final rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Trump insulted his rival Kamala Harris. “She’s a radical left-wing crazy person,” said Trump in the particularly hotly contested “swing state” of Michigan. Until recently, no one knew who the US vice president actually was. “But then they wanted to be politically correct. So they chose Kamala and called her Harris, and nobody knew who Harris was.” That’s why you would only address them by their first name. Trump called Harris “a person with a very low IQ.”

JD Vance calls Harris “trash”
The Republican candidate for US Vice President, JD Vance, ended his campaign with an insult to Trump’s opponent Kamala Harris. “We’re going to take out the trash in Washington DC, and the trash is called Kamala Harris,” Vance said during an appearance in the state of New Hampshire.

Since a comedian’s appearance at a campaign event for Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump in New York’s Madison Square Garden, “garbage” rhetoric has persisted in the US election campaign. The comedian described the Caribbean island of Puerto Rico, which belongs to the USA, as an island made of garbage floating in the ocean – and thus sparked outrage.
Shortly before his comments about Harris, Vance also criticized a statement by outgoing President Joe Biden. The stumbling block: Biden’s campaign phone call with the Latino community. It is not clear from a recording released afterwards whether Biden called Trump’s supporters “trash” – or the widespread views about Latinos. Since then, the Trump camp has been spreading the former reading, the White House the other. Biden himself claims that he was unclear and was misunderstood. Vance now described the president’s comments as disrespectful.
