Election 2024 live: Beyonce takes stage with Harris; Trump leaves MAGA crowd waiting three hours in Michigan

Donald Trump halted his remarks in Michigan to let medics help a rallygoer, suggesting crowds might like to listen to a song while they waited.

“Should we listen to a nice song while we wait? Okay, Ave Maria by Pavarotti,” he said “I want The doctors to take their time.”

The former president stood onstage swaying to the music, before beginning again.

In Michigan, Trump reeled off the methods of attack the Harris campaign had allegedly taken against him.

“Kamala Harris is leading a hate campaign. Got a new thing, you know?” he said. “I think now they’re calling me a dictator.”

“So they started off where I was a dictator. None of it worked. And they went to, he’s an evil genius that didn’t work. Then they went, he’s a dumb son of a bitch that didn’t last long, that didn’t last too long. Then they went back to the dictator stuff.

“They don’t know what they’re doing, those poor people, those poor lost souls. They’re like lost souls.”

Harris recently said she believed her political rival was a “fascist,” following reports that Trump had once told White House officials he “needed generals like Hitler.” Such reports were later confirmed by his former chief of staff John Kelly.

After arriving late to his rally in Michigan, Donald Trump accused Kamala Harris of being “out partying” while a war was going on, following reports that Israel had launched targeted missile strikes against Iran.

“You got a little dose of bad management. You got a little dose of incompetent people,” he said.

“You know where she is tonight? She’s out partying. So Israel is attacking. We got a war going on, and she’s out partying. At least we’re working to make America great again. That’s what we’re doing.”

On Friday Harris held her own campaign rally, focused on women’s reproductive rights, in Texas with music superstar Beyonce.

Donald Trump apologized to fans in Michigan after being some three hours late to his rally, telling them he had just completed “the longest interview of my life.”

“I am so sorry… We got so tied up, and I figured you wouldn’t mind too much, because we’re trying to win,” he said.

“I got interviewed by actually, a great guy. I didn’t know him too well, but I got to know him because it was longest interview I’ve ever done in my life.

“Joe Rogan – a good guy – you know, it’s quite something, and we had some other things really important [things], and I said, you know, we’re gonna get this stuff done.

“And my people came to me, ‘Sir, we could cancel our evening event, I’m sure the people wouldn’t mind.’ I said, ‘Are you crazy? I’m not canceling! No way!”

Kamala Harris trolled protesters at her rally in Houston, directing them to “that small rally down the street.”

“It will be fine,” she said to laughter. “Some people do not have a greater sense of direction, but that is okay. We will show them the way.”
