2024 election updates: Trump slams Biden over 'garbage' comments, calls opponents 'lowlifes'

Vice President Kamala Harris held her first of three Wednesday rallies in Raleigh, hammering a message of unity.

Harris encouraged North Carolinians to take advantage of early voting, which ends Saturday in the state.

"We have just six days left in one of the most consequential elections of our lifetime, and we have work to do," she said.

"It is time for a new chapter where we stop ... pointing fingers at each other and instead let us lock arms with one another, knowing we have so much more in common than what separates us," she said.

When a protestor began shouting, Harris spoke about bringing people with opposing views into her tent.

"Unlike Donald Trump, I don't believe people who disagree with me are the enemy. He wants to put them in jail. I'll give them a seat at the table, and I pledge to be a president for all Americans and to always put Americans before myself," she said.

Harris also gave a shoutout to Gen-Z supporters.

"I see the promise of America in all the young leaders who are voting for the first time," she said.

A judge has granted a request from the Trump campaign to extend the deadline to apply for mail-in or absentee ballots in Bucks County, Pennsylvania.

The comes after the Trump campaign filed a lawsuit against the county.

The new deadline for voters in Bucks County is now 5 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 1. This is more than the one-day extension the Trump campaign had asked for.

The deadline in Pennsylvania passed on Tuesday at 5 p.m.

In his one page order, Judge Jeffrey Trauger wrote that Bucks County violated the Pennsylvania Election Code after "turning away voters who sought to apply for a mail-in ballot and receive one in person before the deadline."

He ordered the county to allow anyone who wishes to "apply for, receive, vote, and return a mail-in ballot" before the close of business on Friday.

In a lengthy post on the social platform X, former Republican Governor of California Schwarzenegger said he "hates" politics more than ever, is not happy with either political party and would prefer to "tune out."

But, he said, he is endorsing Democrats Harris and Walz because "I will always be an American before I am a Republican."

Schwarzenegger went on to harshly criticize Donald Trump for rejecting the results of the 2020 presidential vote.

The Trump campaign sued Pennsylvania's Bucks County Board of Elections and others Tuesday night over claims the county "turned away voters," according to a filing in the Bucks County Court of Common Pleas.

The campaign filed a writ of summons, which contained no allegations or specific claims.

A spokesperson for Bucks County told ABC News in a statement Tuesday evening that the county "has been made aware that litigation may be filed tomorrow. We have no comment at this time."

Lawyers for the county entered an appearance on Wednesday, according to the docket.

The county was previously accused of "suppressive and intimidating" tactics, including claiming voters were turned away and lines were closed early.

However, the county pushed back on any suggestion that what occurred in Bucks County amounts to intentional voter suppression.

"Contrary to what is being depicted on social media, if you are in line by 5 p.m. for an on-demand mail-in ballot application, you will have the opportunity to submit your application for a mail-in ballot," the county said in a statement.

The county did acknowledge that there was indeed some "miscommunication" from officials on site.

Those in line applying for on-demand ballots were "briefly told they could not be accommodated," the county said, but added that those individuals were ultimately allowed to submit their applications, according to officials.

In a post on X, the secretary of state's office echoed that sentiment, asking for voters to "be patient."

"Earlier today, we spoke with Bucks County election officials who assured us that every registered voter who goes to their county election office by 5 p.m. today will be provided an opportunity to apply for their mail ballot," the post said. "Please be patient with all county election office staff as they work hard to ensure every registered voter is able to vote in this election," he said.
