Transition teams met with both candidates' reps: Sources

Federal agency transition members met with representatives from both the Harris and Trump campaigns, sources with knowledge of the meetings confirmed to ABC News.

Up until now, the Trump team has been very reticent to conduct any formal meetings with Biden White House staff and had blown past ethics and funding agreement deadlines.

A spokesperson for the White House confirmed the meeting, which took place in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building.

"The ATDC has been meeting regularly for months to prepare for a transition, and the meeting this week included representatives from both transition teams," the spokesperson said in a statement. "The meeting focused on post-election readiness to ensure agencies and the transition teams are ready to execute responsibly and efficiently."

Trump holds roundtable in Drexel Hill, Pa. ahead of Allentown rally

Former President Donald Trump was back in Pennsylvania on Tuesday, where he held a roundtable in Drexel Hill with Mike Huckabee.

He spoke about what he believes are the most important issues in the upcoming election.

"Every poll has inflation and economy as the number one thing, and the third is the border. I think inflation is horrible. I think it's wrong. I think the number one is the border," he said.

1 week until Election Day: Trump holds roundtable in Drexel Hill, set to rally in Allentown

Trump is also expected to hold a rally in Allentown Tuesday night, which has a majority Latino population.

That remains an important factor as the former president and his campaign try to distance themselves from disparaging comments made about Puerto Rico by a speaker at his rally in New York City over the weekend.

On Tuesday morning at Mar-A-Lago, Trump called the rally at Madison Square Garden a "love fest."

He also held a rally on Monday on the campus of Georgia Tech, in Atlanta, after attending the National Faith Summit. There, Trump blasted the Democrats for using what he says is disgusting rhetoric, and told the crowd that his administration would stop inflation and bring back the American dream.

A preview of what Harris will say in her Ellipse speech

According to excerpts of Harris' speech, as prepared for delivery, she will go after Trump for the dark language he has used to describe his political opponents and pitch herself in contrast as someone who will govern for all Americans.

"Donald Trump intends to use the United States military against American citizens who simply disagree with him. People he calls 'the enemy from within.' This is not a candidate for president who is thinking about how to make your life better," she will say.

Harris will describe Trump as "unstable" and "obsessed with revenge."

"But America, I am here tonight to say: that's not who we are," Harris will say.

She will then pivot to her optimistic plan for improving people's lives.

"I offer a different path. And I ask for your vote. And here is my pledge to you: I pledge to seek common ground and common sense solutions to make your lives better. I am not looking to score political points. I am looking to make progress," she will say.

Supreme Court rejects RFK Jr. appeals to be removed from 2 state ballots

The U.S. Supreme Court denied Tuesday evening Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s request for an injunction ordering the Wisconsin Election Commission to use stickers to cover his name on the state's presidential ballot.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., speaks before Republican presidential nominee former President Donald Trump at a campaign rally at Madison Square Garden, Sunday, Oct. 27, 2024, in New York.

The court did not elaborate on its decision in a single-sentence order and there were no noted dissents.

The court also denied Kennedy's appeal that sought to make Michigan reprint election ballots without his name.

The court did not elaborate on the decision, however, Justice Neil Gorsuch, in the sole noted dissent, indicated that he would have granted the injunction.

Gorsuch cited as his rationale the reasons given by several dissenting conservative members of a federal appeals court panel which had earlier weighed the case.

That minority in the appeals court had concluded that denying a federal candidate the ability to withdraw from the ballot may have infringed on his First Amendment rights.
