距离美国中期选举仅剩不到两天，特朗普在宾夕法尼亚州的竞选集会上发表了与以往不同的讲话，他反复质疑选举的公正性，重提四年前试图推翻败选结果后被起诉的旧怨。特朗普加剧了对“极度无能”的国家领导层和美国媒体的言语攻击，并在兰开斯特的集会上一度谈及对媒体从业人员的暴力问题。此外，他还谈到了枪支问题，并暗示只有通过作弊才能输给民主党候选人哈里斯。特朗普的言论引发了广泛争议，一些盟友鼓励他在选举结果尚未明朗的情况下提前宣布胜利，而民主党则批评他的言论危险且不适合领导国家。文章还描述了哈里斯在密歇根州的竞选活动，她呼吁选民拒绝“混乱、恐惧和仇恨”。

🤔**特朗普在竞选集会上反复质疑选举的公正性，并重提旧怨**: 在距离中期选举仅剩不到两天之际，特朗普在宾夕法尼亚州兰开斯特的竞选集会上发表了与以往不同的讲话。他反复质疑2020年大选的公正性，并重提四年前试图推翻败选结果后被起诉的旧怨。这番言论与他竞选后期通常的讲话风格大相径庭，也引发了外界对选举结果的担忧。他强调自己只有被作弊才能输给民主党副总统候选人哈里斯，进一步加剧了政治紧张局势。同时，他还加剧了对“极度无能”的国家领导层和美国媒体的言语攻击，甚至在集会上一度谈及对媒体从业人员的暴力问题，这引发了人们对言论自由和媒体安全的担忧。 特朗普还谈到了自己所面临的威胁，例如，他提到了在活动现场为他设置的防弹玻璃，以及他认为的媒体对自己构成的威胁。他表示，要伤害他，必须先穿过“假新闻”的障碍。这番言论似乎暗示了媒体对他构成的威胁，也引发了人们对言论自由和媒体安全的担忧。 此外，特朗普还谈到了枪支问题，并暗示前众议员利兹·切尼如果面临枪击威胁，就不会愿意支持外国战争。这番言论引发了人们对枪支暴力和政治言论的担忧。

🛡️**特朗普的盟友鼓励其提前宣布胜利，引发担忧**: 一些特朗普的盟友，特别是前首席策略师史蒂夫·班农，鼓励他在选举结果尚未明朗的情况下提前宣布胜利。这与特朗普四年前的做法如出一辙，当时他提前宣布胜利，并引发了一系列挑战选举结果的行动，最终导致了2021年1月6日美国国会大厦的骚乱事件。特朗普的这种做法引发了人们对选举结果的担忧，也让人们担心他可能会再次试图推翻选举结果。 特朗普的这种做法也引发了民主党方面的批评。民主党全国委员会发言人亚历克斯·弗洛伊德在一份声明中表示，特朗普的“疯狂胡言乱语和危险言论证实了那些最接近他的人已经告诉我们的事情：他完全不适合领导，如果给他机会，他会将我们的民主和法治置于危险之中。” 特朗普的一些前任助手，包括退休的军官，也曾警告不要让他重返白宫，他们认为他是一个法西斯主义者。这些警告也加剧了人们对特朗普的担忧。

🙏**哈里斯呼吁选民拒绝“混乱、恐惧和仇恨”**: 与特朗普的言论形成鲜明对比的是，哈里斯在密歇根州的竞选活动中呼吁选民拒绝“混乱、恐惧和仇恨”。她在底特律的一个以黑人为主的教堂的集会上表示，上帝为美国提供了一个“足以治愈分裂的神圣计划”。哈里斯的这番言论旨在向选民传递希望和团结的信息，也与特朗普的言论形成鲜明对比。 哈里斯还对特朗普关于美国选举的言论进行了反驳。她在教堂集会后对记者表示，特朗普的言论旨在转移人们对美国拥有并支持自由和公平选举这一事实的注意力。她表示，美国在2020年有“良好的选举制度”，而特朗普输掉了选举。哈里斯还敦促选民不要相信特朗普关于投票无效的言论。 哈里斯的言论表明，民主党希望通过强调团结和希望来赢得选民的支持，同时也希望提醒选民，美国拥有自由和公平的选举制度，并且要警惕特朗普可能试图破坏选举的企图。

In remarks Sunday that bore no resemblance to his standard speech in the campaign’s closing stretch, the former president repeatedly cast doubt on the integrity of the vote and resurrected old grievances about being prosecuted after trying to overturn his defeat four years ago. Trump intensified his verbal attacks against a “grossly incompetent” national leadership and the American media, steering his rally in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, at one point on to the topic of violence against members of the press.The GOP nominee for the White House noted the ballistic glass placed in front of him at events after a gunman’s assassination attempt in July at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Trump talked about places where he saw openings in that protection.“I have this piece of glass here,” he said. “But all we have really over here is the fake news. And to get me, somebody would have to shoot through the fake news. And I don’t mind that so much.”It was the second time in recent days that Trump has talked about guns being pointed at people he considers enemies. He suggested former Rep. Liz Cheney, a prominent Republican critic, wouldn’t be willing to support foreign wars if she had “nine barrels shooting at her.”With less than 48 hours before Election Day, Trump continues to promote falsehoods about elections and argue that he can only lose to Democrat Kamala Harris if he is cheated, even though polls suggest a tight race.Some of his allies, notably former chief strategist Steve Bannon, have encouraged him to prematurely declare victory on Tuesday even if the race is too early to call. That’s what Trump did four years ago, kicking off a process of fighting the election results that culminated in the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.For much of this year, Trump has run a relatively disciplined campaign that emphasized the issues and voters his aides believe could deliver him victory, even as he clung to false theories about voter fraud and went on frequent digressions stirring controversy. But that discipline is increasingly collapsing.Trump in recent weeks has joked about golfer Arnold Palmer’s genitalia, continued using gendered or sexist language in his efforts to win over women and staged a rally at New York’s Madison Square Garden that included crude and racist insults that dominated headlines.Trump co-campaign manager Susie Wiles, long credited with bringing order to his often-chaotic political operation, watched the former president silently from off stage Sunday.His campaign later sought to clarify his meaning in talking about the media.“President Trump was brilliantly talking about the two assassination attempts on his own life, including one that came within 1/4 of an inch from killing him, something that the Media constantly talks and jokes about,” campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung said in a statement. “The President’s statement about protective glass placement has nothing to do with the Media being harmed, or anything else.”Harris was campaigning Sunday in Michigan, where she told a predominately Black church congregation in Detroit that God offers America a “divine plan strong enough to heal division.”The two major candidates offered starkly different tones with the campaign almost at an end, as Harris said voters can reject “chaos, fear and hate.”Trump usually veers from subject to subject, a discursive style he has labeled “the weave.” But outside the Lancaster airport, he went on long tangents and hardly mentioned his usual points on the economy, immigration and rote criticisms of Harris.Trump referred to John Bolton, his former national security adviser and now a strident critic, as a “dumb son of a b—.” And he repeated familiar and debunked theories about voter fraud, alleging that Democrats could only win by cheating. Public polls indicate a tight and competitive race across the battleground states that will determine the Electoral College outcome.“It’s a crooked country,” Trump said. “And we’re going to make it straight. We’re going to make it straight.”Harris pushed back at Trump’s characterizations of U.S. elections, telling reporters after the church service that Trump’s comments are “meant to distract from the fact that we have and support free and fair elections in our country.” Those “good systems” were in place in 2020, Harris said, and “he lost.”The vice president said she trusts the upcoming vote tally and urged voters, “in particular people who have not yet voted to not fall for this tactic, which I think includes, suggesting to people that if they vote, their vote won’t matter.”“Trump’s unhinged ramblings and dangerous rhetoric confirm what those closest to him have already told us: he is completely unfit to lead and would put our democracy and the rule of law at risk if given a chance,” Alex Floyd, a spokesperson for the Democratic National Committee, said in a statement, referring to former Trump aides who have warned against returning him to the White House, including retired military officers who said he’s a fascist.Trump, for his part, acknowledged that he was sidestepping his usual approach with his conspiratorial speech. He repeatedly talked about disregarding the advice of his aides, repeating their feedback in a mocking voice and insisting that he had to talk about election fraud despite their objections.Trump at one point suggested that he wouldn’t deliver this version of his speech again: “I hope you’ve enjoyed this,” he said, “because I’m only doing this one time.”Indeed, his next speech a few hours later at an airport in Kinston, North Carolina, drifted between prepared remarks and familiar stories. Trump praised David McCormick, the businessman running for Senate in Pennsylvania, appearing to briefly lose track of his location but quickly recovering.“Where’s David? Is he around some place?” Trump said. “You know we just left him. He’s a great guy.”Some rallygoers began leaving almost immediately. One of them was Whitney Riley, 60, who said she desperately wanted to stay but had another event. She noted Trump started late.“I got to see him land. I got to see him open,” said Riley, wearing Trump’s signature “Make America Great Again” hat and an American flag scarf. “And that’ll have to be enough.”Upcoming event: Join business's brightest minds and boldest leaders at the Fortune Global Forum, convening November 11 and 12 in New York City. Thought-provoking sessions and off-the-record discussions feature Fortune 500 CEOs, former Cabinet members and global Ambassadors, and 7x world champion Tom Brady–among many others.
