'We all want the war in Gaza to end,' Harris responds to 'cease-fire now' chants

A few chants of "cease-fire now" broke out as Vice President Kamala Harris took the stage during a rally at the University of Wisconsin-Madison on Wednesday night.

"Listen, we all want the war in Gaza to end and get the hostages out as soon as possible," Harris said in response to the chanting. "And I will do everything in my power to make it heard and known."

As the chants continued, she said, "And everyone has a right to be heard. But right now I am speaking." The remark garnered loud cheers.

The event was billed as a "Get Out the Vote" rally and took place at the University of Wisconsin-Madison featuring performances by Gracie Abrams and Mumford & Sons.

With less than a week before Election Day, Harris is taking her "closing argument" to voters on the road after a big speech at the Ellipse in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday night. (Pro-Palestinian protesters were also escorted out of that speech)

Harris' remarks in Wisconsin lasted about 25 minutes. In them, she did not address President Joe Biden's controversial comments Tuesday that seemed to refer to Trump supporters as "garbage."

Trump rides to rally in marked garbage truck

Days after a comedian labeled Puerto Rico a "pile of garbage" at Donald Trump's MSG rally, the former president rode to a Green Bay, Wisconsin, rally in a Trump-marked garbage truck Wednesday.

Trump continued to bash President Joe Biden's response to the controversial moment from the MSG rally in which he said that Trump's supporters were garbage.

Biden clarified his comments and Vice President Kalama Harris told reporters, "I strongly disagree with any criticism of people based on who they vote for."

Trump, however, told reporters while riding in the garbage truck that "250 million people are not garbage."

Republican presidential nominee former President Donald Trump talks to reporters as he sits in a garbage truck Wednesday, Oct. 30, 2024, in Green Bay, Wis.

"I can tell you who the real garbage is but I will not say that," he continued.

Trump falsely claimed there was corruption in Pennsylvania.

Later pressed if he would accept election results if there's no evidence of fraud, Trump reiterated claims about Pennsylvania, and then said, "If they find no evidence of cheating anywhere, I'll accept it."

Pressed on a potential role Robert F. Kennedy Jr. could play in his administration, Trump vaguely said he would work with him but while not confirming that he'd be given the top Health and Human Services job.

"We'll work with him, and he's a very talented guy. He wants women's health. He wants health for people, and we're going to work with him. He's a very, very talented guy," Trump said.
