US election briefing: Trump escalates anti-immigrant rhetoric as Harris promises bipartisan council

Donald Trump doubled down on his anti-immigrant and xenophobic messaging at a rally in Colorado, calling for the death penalty for migrants who kill US citizens and announcing a sweeping plan to deport Venezuelans. Kamala Harris, meanwhile, was focusing on a more positive message, telling an event in Phoenix that if elected president she would create a bipartisan council of advisers to provide her feedback on her policy initiatives and appoint a Republican to her cabinet. “I love good ideas wherever they come from,” said Harris, who is making a push to get Republicans with doubts about Trump to support her.
