Harris says she would take a cognitive test if asked

As former President Donald Trump continues to attack Vice President Kamala Harris with deeply personal insults, he also suggested she take a cognitive test.

In an interview with CBS News, Harris said “of course” when asked if she would take such a test.

“I would challenge him to take the same,” Harris said. “I think he’s actually becoming more volatile and confused and resorting to name-calling because he doesn’t really have a plan for the American people.”

It’s the same phrase Trump used when President Joe Biden was still running for president, amid questions about the 81-year-old’s age and mental acuity after his disastrous debate performance in June.

At 78, Trump is currently the oldest candidate for office.

Biden plans to hold an early vote on Monday

President Joe Biden plans to hold early voting Monday near his home near Wilmington, Delaware, according to a White House statement.

Since 1970, Biden has held office for all but a handful of years or run for office during election season. But this year, he’s pinning his hopes on a new generation of Democrats, including three up for grabs in Delaware, who are looking to make history.

Vice President Kamala Harris, who was endorsed by Biden after dropping out of the presidential race in July, is vying to become the first black woman and the first person of South Asian descent to serve as president.

Meanwhile, state Sen. Sarah McBride is seeking to become the first openly transgender candidate elected to the U.S. House of Representatives.

McBride is seeking to succeed Democrat Lisa Blunt Rochester, who is seeking to become Delaware’s first black woman to hold a U.S. Senate seat. As of 2017, she is Delaware’s sole representative in the House of Representatives.

Biden officially endorsed Blunt Rochester on Sunday night, cutting a video for her campaign in which he called her a “Delaware through and through.”

Harris singles out cost of living, abortion rights and border security as 3 immediate priorities

Kamala Harris says she has three immediate legislative priorities when she takes office if elected president.

In an interview with CBS News, Harris said her first priority would be to cut costs for Americans through expanded child tax credits and efforts to lower the cost of groceries and make homes more affordable. The second is to work to restore protections for abortion rights, and the third is to work to pass a border security bill.

Harris and Republican Donald Trump are in a tight race for the White House.

Harris is headed to Michigan

Kamala Harris will focus on production work on Monday, returning to Michigan.

She is going to visit the Corning Hemlock Semiconductor Next Gen Facility. The Saginaw company received a $325 million investment from the CHIPS and Science Act, legislation passed by the Biden administration.

She then attends a job training facility in Macomb County. The election is a week and a day away, and Harris is hoping to appeal to many different voting blocs in the battleground states in the uncontested race against Donald Trump. On Tuesday, she will give a closing speech in Washington.
