Live: 2024 Presidential Election Today – Cuban Attacks the Women Around Trump

After facing a wave of criticism, billionaire Mark Cuban attempted to clarify his comments about the “weak women” surrounding former President Trump in a post on X, arguing that his words had been taken out of context.

“I know many strong, intelligent women voting for Trump. Including in my extended family. I’m certainly not saying female voters are not smart , strong and intelligent,” Cuban explained. “I know he has worked with strong intelligent women, like Elaine Chao, Kelly Anne, Ivanka and many others.”

Billionaire Mark Cuban stirred controversy with his comments on women supporting or close to former President Donald Trump, describing them as weak.

“Donald Trump, you never see him around strong, intelligent women. Ever,” Cuban said during an appearance on The View. “It’s just that simple. They're intimidating to him. He doesn't like to be challenged by them, and, you know, Nikki Haley will call him on his nonsense with reproductive rights and how he sees and treats and talks about women. I mean, he just can’t have her around. It wouldn’t work.”

Following these remarks, Cuban received widespread backlash, including a response from Trump himself, who accused him of attacking women.

“I may, in fact, be surrounded by the strongest women in the World, including Heads of Countries, who make Mark look like a 'baby!' All strong women, and women in general, should be very angry about this weak man’s statement,” Trump wrote.

Vice President Kamala Harris, visibly frustrated, used her iconic phrase "I'm speaking" when pro-Palestine protesters interrupted her speech at a rally in Wisconsin.

Republican entrepreneur and politician Vivek Ramaswamy interviewed a garbage collector in North Carolina after picking up trash with him. Ramaswamy asked the man about President Biden's controversial comments regarding supporters of former President Trump.

"Keep the prices down," he responded when asked what leaders could do to make life easier for sanitation workers.

A Chinese citizen attending the University of Michigan allegedly voted illegally, according to the Michigan Secretary of State's office.

The suspect reportedly voted at a polling place in the University of Michigan Museum of Art on Sunday, October 27, Fox News reported. Authorities have opened an investigation and reminded that voting without being a citizen is a felony.

Actress Jennifer Aniston made public on social media her vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. Through a post on her Instagram account, she criticized Donald Trump and explained her endorsement of the Democratic ticket.

“I know we don't agree on everything, and that's the beauty of this country, but my God, aren't you tired of this negativity towards each other? The constant bullying and threats to those who don't think the same as the other? Please, let's put an end to this era of fear, chaos and the attacks on our democracy - and vote for someone who will unite us and not continue to threaten to divide us. I proudly voted for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz,” Aniston wrote.

Donald Trump leads Kamala Harris in Pennsylvania, the key state among all the battleground states in the presidential election. With the polls just days away, the latest Quinnipiac poll found the Republican slightly ahead of his Democratic opponent. It also showed an increasingly close race between Bob Casey and Dave McCormick for the Senate.

The Quinnipiac poll, conducted Oct. 24-28 with a margin of error of 2.1 percentage points, confirmed the trend of recent weeks with Trump up in Pennsylvania. According to its results, the Republican leads with 47% to the Democrat's 46%. Jill Stein of the Green Party trails with 2% and Chase Oliver of the Libertarian Party has just 1% of voting intention.

Trump gained ground since the last Quinnipiac poll in early October, which had Harris winning Pennsylvania.

Legendary Apollo 11 astronaut Edwin Eugene "Buzz" Aldrin Jr. announced Wednesday that he endorsed former President Donald Trump on the social network X.

Aldrin, 94 who is the second person to walk on the moon after mission commander Neil Armstrong, said his endorsement is due to Trump's re-elevation of space exploration to a relevant policy category.

"The Trump Administration also reinstituted the National Space Council, and our Nation’s defense was enhanced with the creation of the U.S. Space Force – increasingly important as space becomes a contested domain," Aldrin wrote in X. "At the same time, I have been enthused and excited by the great advancements in the private sector space economy, led by visionaries like Elon Musk. These are concrete accomplishments that align with my concerns and America’s policy priorities."

Iconic actor Arnold Schwarzenegger, who served as Republican governor of California from 2003 to 2011, announced an unexpected endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris in a lengthy post on X.

"Let me be honest with you: I don’t like either party right now. My Republicans have forgotten the beauty of the free market, driven up deficits, and rejected election results. Democrats aren’t any better at dealing with deficits, and I worry about their local policies hurting our cities with increased crime," the Terminator franchise star wrote before explaining why he won't vote for Trump.

"Rejecting the results of an election is as un-American as it get," he said. "It will just be four more years of bulls--- with no results that makes us angrier and angrier, more divided, and more hateful."

Following his recent campaign strategy, former President Donald Trump returned to "work" at a blue-collar job in a key state after frying fries last week at a McDonald's in Pennsylvania: he drove a garbage truck in Wisconsin.
 
"How do you like my garbage truck? This truck is in honor of Kamala and Joe Biden," Trump told reporters while already aboard his new vehicle, which is going viral on social media.

The former president also addressed the controversy over Puerto Rico: "I love Puerto Rico and Puerto Rico loves me. I don't know anything about a comedian."

Trump's handling of the garbage truck comes a day after President Joe Biden called Trump's voters " garbage."
