Donald Trump and Kamala Harris.

Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are making their final push into the battleground states with less than a week until Election Day.

Trump was in Wisconsin on Wednesday, where he again criticized Joe Biden for the president’s “garbage” comment. “On a call for her campaign last night, crooked Joe Biden finally said what he and Kamala (Harris) really think of our supporters. He called them trash,” he said at a rally in Green Bay.

Harris said Wednesday that she “strongly” disagrees with “any criticism of people based on who they vote for.”

Here’s what else you need to know:

Exclusive: Maryland Republican Senate candidate Larry Hogan praised a Trump endorsement in a private donor call, suggesting it would help him gain access to the former president’s “hard core” supporters — after repeatedly stating he Trump didn’t want.

Approval Loss for Trump: Latin superstar Nicky Jam announced to his 43.5 million followers on Instagram that he has withdrawn his support for Trump over a comedian’s comments about Puerto Rico during the former president’s Madison Square Garden rally. This comes a month after the reggaeton artist appeared on stage with Trump wearing a MAGA hat.

Trump’s opinion on non-endorsements: Trump said the decision by The Washington Post, Los Angeles Times and USA Today not to endorse a presidential candidate this election means they think Harris is “no good.”

Harris in Pennsylvania: In Harrisburg, Harris said that “nothing will stop me from working for you” if she is elected president next week. She was interrupted by demonstrators shouting something unintelligible. The crowd chanted “Kamala!” above the demonstrators. “Look, everyone has the right to be heard, but right now I’m speaking,” she said.

Harris in Wisconsin: In an appeal to young voters, Harris told a crowd at a college in Madison that she understood they were impatient for change. Both campaigns are aimed at winning over young voters, a demographic that could be decisive in battleground states like Wisconsin.

New poll: Harris maintains a narrow lead in two of the three “blue wall” states – Wisconsin and Michigan – that together represent her clearest path to an Electoral College victory, according to new CNN polling conducted by SSRS. But the race is tied in Pennsylvania, the biggest electoral prize of the three states.

Voices Across America:

In Pennsylvania:

  • A Pennsylvania judge granted a request from the Trump campaign and ordered Bucks County election officials to offer on-demand mail-in voting through Friday, extending the deadline by three days.
  • Voting rights groups and state Democrats urged the U.S. Supreme Court to let Pennsylvania residents cast provisional votes if their mail-in ballots are rejected, backtracking on an emergency appeal from Republicans who want to halt that process in the key swing state.

In Oregon: Investigators in Oregon searching for the person responsible for three ballot box fires in recent weeks believe “it is entirely possible the suspect plans to continue the attacks,” police say .

In Michigan: According to the Michigan Secretary of State, confusion about vote tallies arose due to a formatting error that has been corrected, with no additional votes counted.
