Harris and Trump campaign to the limit and tornadoes rip through Oklahoma: Morning Rundown

As the campaign enters its final days, Harris and Trump are using starkly different messages to sway voters. Tornado spawning storms leave a path of destruction in Oklahoma. And a recap of the NFL’s Week 9.

Here’s what you need to know today.

Harris and Trump are addressing voters with completely different tones in the final campaign days

Former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris spent the final weekend of their campaigns moving between battleground states, hoping to boost last-minute support. But travel plans aside, their endgames couldn’t be more different.

During a speech in Pennsylvania, Trump noted the bulletproof glass his security team has used to protect him since he was shot earlier this year. “To get me, someone would have to cut through the fake news,” he said. “And I don’t mind that so much.” Trump was immediately criticized for the violent rhetoric.

Meanwhile, Vice President Kamala Harris made a very traditional — and politically safe — appearance on NBC’s “Saturday Night Live.” The choice to deviate from the swing-state path for a moment — but not from tight scripts and a friendly audience — reflects the very cautious approach Harris has taken as she contrasts herself with an opponent she calls “unhinged.”

If anything, this clash of styles has become clearer by the end of the campaign. Harris differs little from her stump speech at rallies. Many of her lengthy interactions with the media took place with friendly interviewers. Her opponent in just over a week has spoken about people shooting through the media, said he would protect women “whether they like it or not” and appeared at a rally where one of his warm-up acts called Puerto Rico “trash.” “

At least 11 people were injured after heavy rains and tornadoes ripped through Oklahoma over the weekend. No one died as a result of the storms, but 100 homes were damaged across the state, Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt said at a news conference. Stitt said he has issued emergency declarations for six counties.

It’s unclear how many tornadoes hit the state, but the Oklahoma City Fire Department said damage remained to several structures, downed power lines, traffic lights and trees. Video shows an elementary school in the Oklahoma City metro area suffered extensive damage. The severe weather is expected to continue into today “with the heaviest rain expected to impact central eastern Oklahoma in parts of northwestern Arkansas and southern Missouri,” according to an advisory from the National Weather Service .

Most of Oklahoma remains under a flood watch thousands are still without power.

NFL Week 9 Highlights

NFL: Indianapolis Colts at Minnesota Vikings

A big win for the Minnesota Vikings after ending a two-game losing streak, and the argument for why the Detroit Lions are arguably the best team in the NFL. NBC Sports Editor Greg Rosenstein discusses Week 9.

💪 The Minnesota Vikings snapped a two-game losing skid by defeating the Indianapolis Colts 21-13 at home on “Sunday Night Football.” Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold threw two picks and lost a fumble, but he stepped up when it mattered most: His three second-half touchdowns pushed Minnesota to 6-2 on the season. The Colts, who benched QB Anthony Richardson this week in favor of 39-year-old Joe Flacco, fell to 4-5.

🏃The Detroit Lions beat the Green Bay Packers 24-14 to improve to 7-1. Lions QB Jared Goff was incredibly efficient, going 18 of 22 for 145 yards and a score. Jahmyr Gibbs and Amon-Ra St. Brown both got into the end zone, as did safety Kerby Joseph who returned a 27-yard interception for a touchdown.

🩹 The Dallas Cowboys lost more than just their game against the Atlanta Falcons. Quarterback Dak Prescott left Sunday’s game in the fourth quarter with a hamstring injury and was replaced by backup quarterback Cooper Rush. It is unclear whether he will miss time. The Cowboys (3-5) have dropped three straight games while the Falcons improved to 6-3.

🏈The Chicago Bears, one week after a brutal Hail Mary loss to the Washington Commanders, were embarrassed by the Arizona Cardinals (5-4) in a 29-9 loss. To make matters worse for the Bears (4-4), rookie quarterback Caleb Williams twisted his ankle on the final play, giving him 20 fewer points. The pressure is starting to increase on coach Matt Eberflus to turn things around.

Personnel choice: Convicted of the same murder – twice

Four con artists were found guilty of the 2008 murder of an art dealer described by friends as a “rich, gay socialite” in Palm Springs, California. But their beliefs were unraveled by a judge’s homophobic comments. Prosecutors had to start from scratch and although they have since secured more murder convictions, not all of the guilty have been convicted. Reporters Tim Stelloh and David Ketterling dig into the matter and the art dealer’s friends’ quest for justice after his death.
