Live election updates: 80 million have voted early as Trump, Harris sprint to finish

Former Republican Rep. Liz Cheney responded to former President Donald Trump's attacks on her in an interview with ABC's "The View" on Monday, including a remark he made suggesting she should "have guns trained on her face."

"He knows what he's doing," Cheney said. "He knows it's a threat with the intent to intimidate. Obviously, the intimidation won't work."

Cheney emphasized Trump's history of violent rhetoric, including how he responded to the violence on Jan. 6.

"For over three hours, he watched police officers be brutally beaten. He was told the vice president had been evacuated, he said, 'So what?'" Cheney said. "People were rushing in, pleading with him, 'Tell the mob to leave,' and he wouldn't."

"That level of depravity, he knows he has no defense to that, and he knows that the American people will not entrust again with power anyone who would do something that cruel," she continued. "And so because he can't respond to that, he tries to change the subject, he tries to threaten. It's what autocrats do to try to get their political adversaries to be silent."

JD Vance addressed voters in Wisconsin during a rally in La Crosse on Monday.

"Tomorrow is our last chance," Trump's running mate said. "Tomorrow is the big day when we are going to vote in very big numbers in the state of Wisconsin. We're going to vote for change. We're going to vote for American prosperity."

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz is also campaigning in Wisconsin on Monday. Vance called it "tough work" to "convince the American people" that Harris can be president.

"I think that's the toughest job in the United States of America," Vance said, saying Harris is "more of the same" high grocery prices, unaffordable housing and "wide open border."

A lawyer for Elon Musk's political action committee told a judge in Philadelphia on Monday that so-called "winners" of his $1 million-a-day voter sweepstakes in swing states are not chosen by chance but are instead chosen to be paid "spokespeople" for the group.

GOP lawyer Chris Gober also said that the recipients Monday and Tuesday will come from Arizona and Michigan, respectively, and therefore will not affect the Pennsylvania election.

A lawyer for Elon Musk's political action committee said winners are not chosen by chance but are instead chosen to be paid "spokespeople" for the group.

He said the recipients are chosen based on their personal stories and sign a contract with the political organization, America PAC.

"The $1 million recipients are not chosen by chance," Gober said Monday. "We know exactly who will be announced as the $1 million recipient today and tomorrow."

Musk did not attend the hearing, held on the day before the presidential election. Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner took the witness stand Monday and called the sweepstakes a scam as he asked the judge to shut it down.

The Alabama Republican Party announced on Monday it has launched its most comprehensive poll watcher deployment, with more than 400 poll watchers and election lawyers in Georgia and Alabama.
