Two high-profile Trumps were noticeably absent when former President Donald Trump's family took the stage at a rally courting women voters.

On Monday, Donald Trump's campaign event in Reading, Pennsylvania, included hundreds of pink signs that said "Women for Trump."

During the event, the presidential candidate called his family to the stage. However, daughter Ivanka Trump and wife Melania Trump were missing.

"They're really good kids," Donald Trump said of his children. "They're really good. That's not to say that I didn't have a little difficulty with them on occasion, especially Don. But no, I'm only kidding."

Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, Lara Trump, and Tiffany Trump were all offered a chance to speak.

"We love you, we support you, and my father's here fighting for you, and he's never going to let you down," Tiffany Trump promised. "So please vote. Let's get this country back on track."

It was not immediately clear why Ivanka Trump and Melania Trump declined to attend the event.

Writing that former President Donald Trump and his senior adviser Stephen Miller would “champion racist and xenophobic laws” if allowed to return to the Oval Office, Miller’s former rabbi came out Monday to call on Jewish Americans to vote for Vice President Kamala Harris.

“I’m casting my Jewish American vote for Kamala Harris because she knows firsthand that despite our progress, we have a long way to go before we treat all citizens equally and fairly,” Neil Comess-Daniels wrote Monday in The Forward. “She is the daughter of immigrants. She experienced growing up as a multi-racial child in America. She has the empathy for the most vulnerable among us that Trump and Miller lack."

In his op-ed endorsement of Harris, Comess-Daniels said it was Trump’s widely criticized Madison Square Garden rally that compelled him to speak out against his onetime congregant “and to call on all Jewish Americans who feel similarly — knowing our heritage and commitment to justice — to vote for Vice President Kamala Harris.”

Comess-Daniels, the spiritual leader of Beth Shir Shalom synagogue in Santa Monica, California, first publicly opposed Miller because of his involvement in persuading then-President Trump to family separation policy, along with other anti-immigrant proposals.

“I felt embarrassed and ashamed that a Jew in a leadership role could give voice and support to such inhumanity,” he wrote Monday. “And I felt further compromised because, for a couple years in Stephen Miller’s childhood, his family belonged to my synagogue.”

He concluded his piece by writing that Harris is “a true leader,” who “champions a society built on law,” while Trump and Miller have advanced rhetoric that has become “more threatening, volatile and venomous.”

“This year, I am going to vote against the candidate advanced by my former congregant, and for a candidate who I believe shares one of my most central Jewish values: that of honoring, learning from, and building upon the lessons of our past,” Comess-Daniels wrote.

“Kamala Harris is the only candidate in this election who represents these and other critical Jewish American values. I am proud to vote for her — and I hope you will be, too.”

Another statue has popped up to commemorate a major moment in Donald Trump's history: his alleged tryst with adult film star and director Stormy Daniels.

Huffington Post's Jen Bendery has been following the statues as the civic crafting group erects them around the country. So far, similar monuments have appeared in Washington, D.C., Portland, Oregon, and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

On Monday, the new statue was in the Donald J. Trump State Park in Yorktown Heights, New York.

On Monday, it was a "7 feet wide by 8 feet tall" Trump statue, and on top was "a tiny golden mushroom." Daniels infamously compared a Trump extremity to a mushroom in an interview with Jimmy Kimmel.

Named "The Very Large Donald J. Trump Monument," the tiny mushroom stands atop a large pillar. Bendery said it's clear it "trolls Trump over the size of his manhood."

"Despite this towering statue's impressive heft, The President's former mistress, Stormy Daniels, knowingly slandered the President as having a 'smaller than average' monument and claimed it is an 'unusual' monument similar to 'a mushroom.' She further went on to describe his monument as 'the least impressive I've ever had,'" the plaque reads.

"The circumstances surrounding her statements have been verified by a New York State court of Law," it also reads.

Indeed, Trump's company faced off against several felony counts for attempting to cover up a payoff to Daniels to stay quiet about the affair. He was found guilty on all counts.

One of the most closely watched swing states on Election Night 2024 will be Pennsylvania, where Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump have been campaigning aggressively in the hope of winning the state's 19 electoral votes.

Pennsylvania has gone Democrat in most of the United States' post-1980s presidential elections. But Trump carried Pennsylvania in 2016 before losing it to now-President Joe Biden four years later in 2020.

According to NBC News' Garrett Haake, Trump already appears to be gearing up to "contest Pennsylvania election results" if they go Harris' way.

Trump posted on his Truth Social platform Wednesday: "Pennsylvania is cheating, and getting caught, at large scales rarely seen before. REPORT CHEATING TO AUTHORITIES. Law Enforcement must act, NOW!"

In response to Trump's post, Haake tweeted, "Trump appears to be laying the groundwork to contest Pennsylvania election results, claiming without evidence this morning that the whole commonwealth somehow is cheering at 'large scale levels.'"

Polls, in late October, are showing a very close race in the Keystone State.

An InsiderAdvantage poll released on October 28 showed Trump with a 1 percent lead over Harris in Pennsylvania. But a CBS News poll that came out the following day found Harris and Trump tied.

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (R) advised Vice President Kamala Harris to label Donald Trump a "Nazi" after President Joe Biden seemed to suggest that the former president's supporters were "garbage."

During a Wednesday interview with Real America's Voice, Huckabee addressed Biden's reaction to a comedian at a recent Trump rally who suggested Puerto Rico residents were "garbage." A transcript that was later corrected by the White House seemed to say that Trump supporters were also garbage.

The former Arkansas governor and Republican presidential candidate offered some advice to Harris.

"When something like that happens, the smart play is to disavow yourself and say, look, I think Donald Trump is a Nazi, which she's been saying, which is ridiculous in itself, because then that means all of us who support him, we must be following a Nazi," he said. "So the fact that she has kept silent on this is an agreement with Joe that all the people who support Donald Trump are garbage."

Huckabee also said Biden was treating Trump supporters like Jews killed in the Holocaust.

"So if you've decided that some human beings really are garbage, rubbish, and trash, and need to be exterminated because they just aren't that important, it's not hard to get there," Huckabee opined. "One of the reasons that the Nazis were able to murder 6 million Jews and 11 million people total is because they spent decades telling people that some people just weren't taking care of, the infirm, the elderly."

A Republican senator faced significant backlash Wednesday after he first disavowed racist jokes told at former President Donald Trump's recent rally then promoted his on a podcast with a white nationalist.

Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL), who is running for reelection this year, promoted his appearance on Laura Loomer's show just days after condemning comedian Tony Hinchcliffe's slur on Puerto Ricans, whose nation he called a "floating island of garbage."

"Excited to talk about the Senate GOP Leader race soon with [Loomer]!" wrote Scott. "We need Republicans in Washington to act like Republicans again. Looking forward to the conversation!"

Replied independent journalist Aaron Rupar, "Did Alex Jones turn you down or what?"

Loomer is the controversial MAGA activist who has spread conspiracy theories about the terrorist attack on Sept. 11, pronounced herself a "proud Islamophobe" and addressed white nationalists at a 2022 conference during which she declared she was a "white advocate," reports show.

When Trump last month summoned Loomer onto his personal plane and brought her to a Sept. 11 anniversary ceremony in New York City, and at the time it sparked outrage on the right.

And when Scott promoted his appearance on her podcast Tuesday night, he faced similar condemnation from policy experts, political commentators and even a former Trump aide.

"So Rick Scott condemned the anti-Puerto Rican bigotry at the MSG rally, but is going to appear with Laura Loomer, a self avowed white nationalist and Islamophobe on her podcast," wrote Tim Wise, a senior fellow at the African American Policy Forum.

"Lets you know Scott's concerns: it's not that he minds racism. He just needs Puerto Rican votes."

Mark Jacob, a former Chicago Tribune editor, urged Florida voters not to validate Scott's campaign tactics with their votes on Nov. 5 — and threw support behind his Democratic challenger instead.

"Here’s Republican Sen. Rick Scott legitimizing conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer, who said 9/11 was 'an inside job' and suggested the Parkland school shooting was a hoax," he wrote. "Please, Florida. Vote Scott out. Vote Debbie Mucarsel-Powell in."

Christopher Mathias, senior reporter for the Huffington Post, noted Scott's promotion came within days of condemning Hinchcliffe.

"Less than 48 hrs after distancing self from the racist Puerto Rico remark at MSG, Scott promotes Loomer," wrote Matthias, "who calls herself 'proud Islamophobe' & 'pro-white nationalism' who 'really does believe in IQ science' & called Ilhan Omar 'black dog' & said Somalis are 'inbred' & 'low IQ.'"

Mathias' HuffPo colleague Igor Bobic also highlighted a racist joke Loomer herself made last month that drew criticism from Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) as well as Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Thom Tillis (R-NC).

"Loomer said if Harris wins the election 'the White House will smell like curry,' drawing condemnations from Graham, Tillis, & even MTG," Bobic wrote. "Graham called her “toxic” and urged Trump to keep his distance."

Trump's former deputy press secretary Sarah Matthews posited Scott's decision to appear on the show reflected his desperation to hold onto his Senate seat.

"Imagine wanting power so badly that you’re willing to debase yourself like this," Matthews wrote. "Feeling the need to kowtow to Laura Loomer is disqualifying for someone seeking to lead the Senate GOP."
