In a new social media post today, Harris is highlighting her remarks on race from Tuesday's debate, where she told viewers, "I think it's a tragedy that we have someone who wants to be president, who has consistently, over the course of his career, attempted to use race to divide the American people."

"The vast majority of us know that we have so much more in common than what separates us," she added.

Her answer during the debate came after Trump was asked about his infamous comments from earlier this year where he said Harris "happened to turn Black." On the debate stage, he said, "whatever she wants to be is OK with me.”

His remarks come as both campaigns are seeking to expand their reach in minority communities, including Black communities in key swing states. Harris held two events in North Carolina yesterday, coming off what Democrats saw as a strong debate performance Tuesday.

Two law enforcement officials told NBC News the Justice Department is planning to file criminal charges in its investigation of the hack of Trump’s presidential campaign.

It was unclear who exactly would be charged, and whether there were any targets in the United States. The FBI has said that Iran was behind an effort to steal emails and offer internal Trump documents to news organizations. So far, none of the material appears to have been published. 

The plan to file charges was first reported by The Washington Post. 

U.S. intelligence agencies have said that Iran is seeking to interfere in the election and would prefer that Trump not win.

Singer John Legend called for people to be kinder to the Haitian immigrants in his hometown of Springfield, Ohio, after the town has become the target of right-wing anti-immigrant attacks this week.

Immigrants "saw opportunity for themselves and their families in the American dream," he said in an Instagram post yesterday after Trump mentioned Springfield and unfounded claims about immigrants eating pets during the debate earlier this week.

Legend detailed the job opportunities that Haitian immigrants filled in recent years as the numbers of native Ohioans in his town dwindled.

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton reacts to Joe Biden dropping out of the 2024 race in audio recorded for the epilogue of her upcoming book "Something Lost, Something Gained." MSNBC's "Morning Joe" has an exclusive first look at the audio.

In the audio, Clinton recounts learning that Biden was leaving the race to endorse Harris. She also recalls speaking to Harris shortly after about her own endorsement of the vice president.

"Some people have asked how I feel about the prospect of another woman poised to achieve the breakthrough I didn’t," she says in the audio. "If I’m being honest, in the years after 2016, I also wondered how I would feel if another woman ever took the torch that I had carried so far and ran on with it. Would some little voice deep down inside whisper, 'That should have been me'?"

She added, "Now I know the answer. After I got off the phone with the vice president, I looked at Bill with a huge smile and said, 'This is exciting.' I felt promise. I felt possibility. It was exhilarating." 

Trump is expected to make two public appearances today, with a news conference at Trump National Golf Course in Rancho Palos Verdes, California, at noon ET and a rally in Las Vegas at 10 p.m. ET.

Vance has no public events on the schedule for today.

President Joe Biden will hold talks with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer later today, with the U.S. and its allies appearing open to letting Ukraine use long-range Western missiles to strike deep inside Russia — the culmination of a monthslong push by Kyiv.

President Vladimir Putin warned that Russia would be “at war” with the United States and its allies if they approve such a move.

“We are not talking about allowing or not allowing the Ukrainian regime to strike Russia with these weapons,” Putin said yesterday in comments to propagandist Pavel Zarubin. “We are talking about deciding whether NATO countries are directly involved in the military conflict or not.”

The Democratic National Committee knows the influence of Taylor Swift "all too well" and is launching ads referring to her in Times Square and on the Las Vegas Strip. 

The ads refer to Swift with statements such as “We’re in our Kamala era!” and “A new way forward … ready for it?” They also urge voters to visit a website that helps them research where and how to vote.

“As we drive the contrast between Vice President Harris’ New Way Forward and Donald Trump’s Project 2025 agenda, which would rip away reproductive rights and rig the economy against working families, we’re reminding voters that it is critical to speak now to dump Trump and enter our Kamala era by visiting IWillVote.com and doing their research on how, where, and when to vote in this election,” DNC spokesperson Rosemary Boeglin said in a statement. 

No one can keep Trump away from Laura Loomer.

Throughout his third presidential campaign, aides and advisers have done their best to shield him from Loomer, a far-right social media influencer, and similar figures who stroke his ego and stoke his basest political instincts.

They lost that battle this week as Loomer traveled on Trump’s jet to his debate with Harris on Tuesday and to Sept. 11 memorial services Wednesday. Her presence at the latter infuriated some Democrats and Republicans because one of the many conspiracy theories she has promoted is the false notion that the terrorist assault on the U.S. was an “inside job.” It wasn’t.

Loomer’s return to Trump’s side is pitting key figures in his coalition against one another, testing the strength of a campaign already reeling from his subpar debate performance Tuesday and Democrats’ resurgence in the wake of their July candidate switch. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., and Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., major Trump allies in Congress who represent opposite ends of the Republican ideological spectrum, are publicly pressing him to ditch her. Loomer fired back yesterday with a string of invective about Graham.

Harris will make two stops in Pennsylvania, a vital swing state that she and Biden flipped in 2020. She will visit a small business in Johnstown and then is holding a campaign rally in Wilkes-Barre in the evening, the campaign said.

Walz will continue campaigning in Michigan today, stopping at a campaign office in Grand Rapids and a canvass lunch in Lansing. Later, he will head to Wausau, Wisconsin, another vital swing state.

At the same time, Emhoff will speak at a campaign event in Oxford, Mississippi, before traveling to The Villages, a large retirement community in central Florida that leans conservative.

"Right in Donald Trump’s backyard, the Second Gentleman will highlight how dangerous Donald Trump’s extreme Project 2025 agenda is for seniors, including his plans to gut Medicare and Social Security and repeal the Affordable Care Act, stripping millions of Americans of their health care," the Harris campaign said.

Gwen Walz will make multiple stops across Maine today.
