Back to Butler Former President Donald Trump held a rally on Saturday in Butler Township, the site of the first assassination attempt against him. Roughly 45 minutes into the speech, Trump invited billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk on stage. Musk urged the crowd and the audience watching to register to vote. He cautioned that this year will be "the last election" if people don't take the step. "Nothing is more important," Musk said. The former president, who is in the final stretch of his second bid to regain the White House, had vowed to come back to Butler shortly after narrowly avoiding a direct hit from a bullet; it pierced his right ear. Trump thanked the law enforcement and first responders who were involved in protecting him and rushing him off the stage and to a hospital. He also devoted several minutes to commemorate Corey Comperatore, the man who was killed in the shooting. The former president paused the rally for a minute of silence in memory of Comperatore, timed to 6:11 p.m., the moment the shooting in July began. A singer performed "Ave Maria" as the crowd stood by. Read the full story here› | |
Election Extension The South Carolina Election Commission said on Friday that the state's voter registration deadline has been extended to Oct. 14 due to the widespread impact of Hurricane Helene. The initial deadlines for in-person, online, and mail-in voter registration were Oct. 4, Oct. 6, and Oct. 7, respectively. All registration methods have now been extended to Oct. 14 for voters in all counties.
The announcement followed a recent decision by Circuit Court Judge Daniel Coble to grant an extension following a lawsuit filed by the South Carolina Democratic Party (SCDP) on Oct. 3. The party had asked the court to extend the deadlines for all forms of voter registration, citing the destruction caused by Hurricane Helene, which made landfall on Sept. 26 as a Category 4 hurricane. In its suit, the SCDP said the storm had shuttered numerous government offices, including those in charge of voter registration, and many residents were still without power and internet.
