President Joe Biden called the death of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah “a measure of justice” for the thousands of civilians that he and the terrorist organization killed over the last three decades.

“Hassan Nasrallah and the terrorist group he led, Hezbollah, were responsible for killing hundreds of Americans over a four-decade reign of terror,” Biden said in a statement. “His death from an Israeli airstrike is a measure of justice for his many victims, including thousands of Americans, Israelis, and Lebanese civilians.”

The president’s statement arrives after Lebanon’s Hezbollah group confirmed that Nasrallah, 64, was killed in an Israeli airstrike in Beirut on Friday.

Vice President Kamala Harris echoed Biden’s statement, saying, “Today, Hezbollah’s victims have a measure of justice.”

Donald Trump’s rally in Wisconsin was moved to a smaller indoor venue because the Secret Service resources are being “pushed to their limits”, a senior official briefed on the planning told The Independent.

During Trump’s rally speech on Saturday, he complained that the venue was forced to move indoors to a smaller space because the Biden administration refused to allocate more Secret Services resources.

“The administration couldn’t give us the Secret Service necessary because they’re guarding the Iranian president who is looking to kill Trump,” the former president said.

An official, briefed on the rally security planning but not authorized to speak to the media, said that the personnel and equipment are being pushed to their limits because of the number of protectees they are trying to manage. Trump’s Saturday rally arrived at the same time as the U.N. General Assembly in New York City where the Secret Service is responsible for the safety and security of more than 140 world leaders.

Anthony Guglielmi, Secret Service Chief of Communications, said in an official statement that Trump is “receiving heightened levels of U.S. Secret Service protection and our top priority is mitigating risks to ensure his continued safety at all times.”

Guglielmi said he could not provide specific details about the resources used for the event for security reasons.

Trump used words like “disgusting”, “animals”, “hoodlums”, “thugs” and “invasion” to describe the influx of migrants to the United States during a rally on Saturday in Wisconsin.

The former president, who is campaigning on an anti-immigration platform, told rallygoers that migrants would take their “culture” away from them and criticized migrants in Springfield, Ohio for not speaking English.

Trump often claims migrants are creating widespread violent crime – something there is no evidence of – and that more violent crime will occur if mass deportations don’t happen and the US–Mexico border isn’t “closed.”

A fly interrupted Trump’s rally speech in Wisconsin on Saturday, which he insinuated could be due to an influx of migrants.

“Two years ago I wouldn’t have had a fly up here,” the former president said.

In 2020, Senator JD Vance sent private messages on X complaining about Donald Trump’s economic “failure” during his first presidential term and predicted he would lose the 2020 election, according to a new report from the Washington Post.

The new report brings to light more critical comments Vance made about his running mate – something Democrats have used to paint the Trump–Vance ticket as inconsistent and untrustworthy.

“Trump has just so thoroughly failed to deliver on his economic populism (excepting a disjointed China policy),” Vance allegedly wrote to an anonymous source in February 2020.

Months later, in June 2020, Vance predicted Trump would lose to President Joe Biden.

A spokesperson for Vance told the Washington Post that Vance’s remarks were targeted toward “Establishment Republicans who thwarted much of Trump’s populist economic agenda to increase tariffs and boost domestic manufacturing in Congress.”

“Joe Biden became mentally impaired, Kamala was born that way,” Trump told a room of rallygoers in Prairie du Chien while criticizing the administration’s position on immigration.

The former president falsely asserted, once again, that Harris was appointed “border czar” and allowed migrants to cross the border and commit violent crimes.

“Only a mentally disabled person could have allowed this to happen to our country,” Trump said.

There is no evidence of mass “migrant crime” happening across America nor any indication Harris was born with a disability that impacts her mental or cognitive functioning.

Former president Donald Trump’s rally in Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin was cut down from a large outdoor rally to a smaller indoor one because “the administration” could not give him the Secret Service resources necessary.

Trump claimed an outdoor space could have held “40,000” or “60,000” people but instead, the venue he held the rally could only  hold “2,000” or “less.”

He said it was a result of lacking Secret Service resources – there have been two attempts to assassinate the former president in the last four months.

“Because the administration couldn’t give us the Secret Service necessary because they’re guarding the Iranian president who is looking to kill Trump,” the former president told people.

The former president insinuated Secret Service was protecting the president of Iran. The Independent could not verify that information immediately.

Donald Trump will campaign in Prairie Du Chien, Wisconsin at 3:30 p.m. where he will discuss immigration just one day after Kamala Harris visited the US southern border.

Vice President Kamala Harris’s team is running ads during the Alabama and Georgia college football game, which Donald Trump is attending, that mocks Trump for refusing to participate in a second presidential debate against Harris.

The “Say It To My Face” ad uses stock footage of football players in contrast to footage of Trump golfing to claim the former president is a “loser” who will “take his ball home.”

“Winner never back down from a challenge,” the ad says. “But losers, they whine and waffle and take their ball home.”

The ad will air nationally during the primetime game and be featured on a plane that will fly above the Bryant-Denny Stadium while Trump is at the game.

“Donald Trump walked off the stage at the first debate angry and rattled after he failed to offer any coherent vision for where he wants to take this country, so now he’s trying to take his ball and go home,” Harris-Walz Communications Director Michael Tyler said/

“No matter where Trump looks tonight – whether it’s up in the sky or at the TV in his luxury box – he won’t be able to escape the truth: Trump is running away from a second debate with Vice President Harris because he doesn’t want the American people to see just how weak and unpopular he and his Project 2025 agenda are.”
