UNITED STATES

A federal appeals court on Sunday ruled that a lower court was correct to re-instate some 1,600 Virginia voters who have questionable citizenship status to the rolls.The ruling came after immigrants and women’s rights groups sued the state and its Board of Elections after Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin issued an executive order in August directing state officials to identify noncitizens, who were given two weeks to dispute being disqualified before being removed from voter rolls.Youngkin’s attorneys argued that the law applies to actual voters and that removing non-citizens isn’t covered. The appeals court for the Fourth Circuit said the state was mixing various parts of the law together.YOUNGKIN VOWS TO APPEAL ‘TO SCOTUS’ AFTER US JUDGE ORDERS 1,600 VOTERS BACK ON BALLOT”That is not how courts interpret statutes,” the appeals court said in its ruling. On Sunday, he vowed to take the case to the U.S. Supreme Court. “It’s commonsense: noncitizens shouldn’t be on our voter rolls,” he wrote on X. “Thank you @JasonMiyaresVA for filing immediately with the U.S. Supreme Court for an emergency appeal of the order for Virginia to put over 1,500 people who self-identified as non-citizens back on the voter rolls,” the governor said to Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares. On Friday, U.S. Judge Patricia Giles issued a preliminary injunction to reinstate all voters who had been removed from state voter rolls in the past 90 days. The judge found that the removals had been “systematic,” not individualized, and were thus a violation of federal law.Her ruling came after the Justice Department filed a lawsuit against the State of Virginia, Virginia State Board of Elections and Virginia Commissioner of Elections on Oct. 11, saying that by removing voters from rolls too close to the Nov. 5 general election, the state had violated the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (NVRA).YOUNGKIN HITS BACK AT DOJ SUIT OVER ‘COMMON SENSE’ LAW THAT CULLS NONCITIZENS FROM VOTER ROLL”Let’s be clear about what just happened: only eleven days before a Presidential election, a federal judge ordered Virginia to reinstate over 1,500 individuals–who self-identified themselves as noncitizens–back onto the voter rolls,” Youngkin said in a statement Friday. “Almost all these individuals had previously presented immigration documents confirming their noncitizen status, a fact recently verified by federal authorities,” he added. Should the case be picked up by the high court, it would come within days of the election.

Week 8 was “National Tight End Day” in the NFL, and many at the position had quite the day to help their teams to a win. San Francisco 49ers star George Kittle joined the fun as well. Kittle totaled a team-high 128 yards on six catches with a touchdown to help San Fran take down the Dallas Cowboys, 30-24, on “Sunday Night Football.” But it wasn’t as easy as things initially looked for San Francisco.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMThis game wasn’t all 49ers to start, as the Cowboys found the end zone first. It was Ezekiel Elliott breaking the plane from one yard out to make it 7-3 early in the second quarter, and they would move that lead to a full seven points after a turnover on downs by the 49ers led to a Brandon Aubrey field goal. But the second half was a totally different animal for these two teams from the very start, as the 49ers were finally able to find the colored paint themselves on just five plays as Isaac Guerendo scored from four yards out on the ground after filling in for the injured Jordan Mason. Then, things started to fall apart for Dak Prescott and the Cowboys, as the veteran quarterback attempted to loft a pass to CeeDee Lamb down the left sideline. However, Deommodore Lenoir leaped and hauled in an interception, keeping his body in bounds to immediately give Brock Prudy and the offense the ball back. COWBOYS’ CEEDEE LAMB REACTS TO TROY AIKMAN SCRUTINY: ‘I TAKE THAT AS CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM’Purdy using his legs to scramble and pick up a key first down to make it first-and-goal the 49ers, cashed in with a touchdown pass to Kittle to make it 20-10, as San Fran started to create a gap. The lead was busted open after forcing Dallas to a three-and-out, with Purdy sneaking the ball at the line of scrimmage for the two-yard running touchdown. At 27-10, this game looked out of reach with the way the second half was going. The Cowboys, though, understanding they have not had good luck in this building, and after getting blown out last week at home against the Detroit Lions, had fight in them to get back into the game. They did so midway through the fourth quarter, as Lamb, who had a game-high 146 yards on 13 catches, scored twice on back-to-back drives to cut the 49ers’ lead to 30-24 with 3:31 left to play. The Cowboys got the ball back after forcing a punt, giving Prescott and the offense the chance for a potential game-winning drive pending an extra-point attempt. However, Prescott was incomplete on all four of his pass attempts, including one where the Cowboys wanted a pass interference call on fourth-and-10, but the officials kept the yellow laundry in their pockets. Prescott finished the game 25-of-38 for 243 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions. Meanwhile, Purdy was 18-of-26 for 260 yards with one touchdown pass, and he rushed for 50 yards on six carries with his score. Deebo Samuel, who left the game in the second half due to injury, also added 71 receiving yards on four catches, while rushing for 15 yards as well.Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

Vice President Kamala Harris has gone 99 days as the presumptive, and now, official Democratic nominee for president without holding an official press conference. Trump has held six news conferences where he took questions from the media since the beginning of August. Harris has done a pair of brief, informal press gaggles this week with the media while on the campaign trail.Harris also ended her streak of not appearing on Fox News earlier this month, sitting for an interview in Pennsylvania with chief political anchor Bret Baier. She also did a CNN town hall on Wednesday night and interviews this week with NBC News and Telemundo.KAMALA HARRIS ASSERTS HER PRESIDENCY ‘WILL NOT BE A CONTINUATION’ OF BIDEN’SHarris has stepped up her interviews in recent weeks, including doing radio hits, friendly appearances with “The View,” Stephen Colbert and Howard Stern and other media appearances.But as for when she’ll actually do a formal press conference as a candidate, that day may never come, at least while she’s still a candidate.Conservative Radio Libre host Jorge Bonilla feels Harris should do a press conference but said it’s almost “irrelevant” because she continues to get a pass. HARRIS DODGES QUESTION ON LOWERING PRICES BY DESCRIBING ‘MIDDLE-CLASS’ ROOTS: NEIGHBORS ‘PROUD OF THEIR LAWN’”She is highly unlikely to do a press conference because the media have enabled and encouraged her ‘plexiglass basement’ strategy, wherein she preserves the illusion of being out there while remaining wholly inaccessible to the press and therefore unaccountable,” Bonilla told Fox News Digital.Trump has skipped several potential interviews in recent weeks, but he showed up at the annual Al Smith dinner that has historically featured the presidential candidates doing lighthearted roasts. Harris decided not to attend, sending a video message instead.CBS NEWS BREAKS ITS SILENCE OVER EDITING ALLEGATIONS IN ‘60 MINUTES’ INTERVIEW WITH HARRISHarris also did an interview this month on “60 Minutes” that has generated controversy due to the show’s editing choices with an answer she gave to a question about Israel. In a preview of the interview on Oct. 6, CBS aired one portion of her answer but appeared to air a completely different part of it during the actual special on Oct. 7.Fox News Digital’s Paul Steinhauser contributed to this report.

Former President Donald Trump took the stage at his historic Madison Square Garden rally on Sunday evening, where thousands of supporters from the deep-blue Northeast state cheered wildly as the 45th president railed against Biden-Harris administration policies and vowed to “Make america great again.” Trump took the stage at Madison Square Garden just after 7 p.m. in the packed stadium, where he focused his speech on spiraling immigration, inflation woes and looking toward the future with lower consumer costs and securing the border. The rally was first-come, first-serve and sold out within hours of being announced this month. Madison Square Garden has a capacity of 19,500 people.”I’m hereby calling for the death penalty for any migrant that kills an American citizen or a law enforcement officer,” Trump told the crowds as he spoke about the illegal immigration crisis since 2021. “I will rescue every city and town that has been invaded and conquered, and we will put these vicious and bloodthirsty criminals in jail, going to kick them the hell out of our country as fast as possible. And to expedite removals of Tren de Aragua and other savage gangs like MS-13, which is equally vicious, I will invoke the Alien Enemies act of 1798,” he said. ELON MUSK, DANA WHITE TO APPEAR AT ‘HISTORIC’ TRUMP MSG RALLYTrump said Harris was behind “the most egregious betrayal” of any U.S. leader due to immigration policies under the Biden-Harris administration. “Over the past four years, Kamala Harris has orchestrated the most egregious betrayal that any leader in American history has ever inflicted upon our people. She has violated her oath, eradicated our sovereign border and unleashed an army of migrant gangs who are waging a campaign of violence and terror against our citizens,” he said. The 45th president said that if he’s re-elected, he will also immediately ban sanctuary cities across the nation. The massive rally, where nearly 200,000 people tried to gain access, according to Donald Trump Jr., included a handful of high-profile speakers ahead of Trump’s remarks, including an address from former first lady Melania Trump. TRUMP AT MADISON SQUARE GARDEN: ICONIC VENUE HAS PLAYED HOST TO MANY CAMPAIGN GATHERINGS NEAR ELECTION DAY”Envision a wonderful America where the seeds of security, prosperity and health are so and once again for the benefit of our families,” Melania Trump said before introducing her husband. “Let us start together with a shared vision that builds on American greatness. Let’s seize this moment and create a country for tomorrow, the future that we deserve. And now.”Other notable speakers at Trump’s rally included House Speaker Mike Johnson, pro wrestling legend Hulk Hogan, tech billionaire Elon Musk, former presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Trump’s running mate, Sen. JD Vance, and TV personality Dr. Phil McGraw. Trump’s speech included a focus on the economy and spiraling inflation and “bringing back the American dream,” including vowing to the audience that he will cut their energy costs in half by January 2026 if he’s elected.TRUMP PREPS FOR MASSIVE CAMPAIGN RALLY SUNDAY AT NEW YORK CITY’S MADISON SQUARE GARDEN”I will terminate the ‘green new scam.’ And we’ll cut your energy prices in half, 50%, within one year from Jan. 20th. Is the fake news hearing that?” he said before directing the audience to the “fake news media” at the rally.Trump touted that if he wins the election next week, he will lower costs for consumers as well as end taxes on tips, overtime and Social Security benefits. “We will rapidly defeat inflation, and we will very simply make America affordable again. We’re going to make it affordable. I will massively cut taxes for workers and small businesses, and we will have no tax on tips. No tax on overtime. And no tax on Social Security benefits for our seniors,” he said. Trump added that under his leadership, the Republican Party has become the “party of inclusion.”ELON MUSK COMES OUT IN SUPPORT OF TRUMP IN ‘DARK GOTHIC MAGA’ AT MADISON SQUARE GARDEN”Jews and Muslims and Catholics and evangelicals and Mormons, and they’re all joining our cause in large numbers, larger than anyone has ever seen in this country before, larger than they’ve ever seen in any country,” he said.”And we’re a big, powerful party, and they’re losing it. They’re really losing it. Together we will lift America to glory beyond your wildest dreams. It’s going to happen fast, too.”Kennedy, who ran for president as a Democrat before endorsing Trump in August, railed against the Democratic Party for morphing into a party he no longer recognizes. “The Democratic Party is the party of war. It’s the party of the CIA. You had Kamala Harris giving a speech at the Democratic convention that was written by neocons. It was belligerent, pugnacious. It talked about domination of the world by the United States through our weapons of war. It’s the party today that wants to divide Americans. It’s a party that is dismantling women’s sports by letting men play women’s sports,” he said. TRUMP TO HOLD RALLY AT NEW YORK’S MADISON SQUARE GARDEN AHEAD OF ELECTION DAY”It’s the party of Wall Street. It’s the party of Bill Gates, who just gave $50 million to Harris. It’s the party, and the Harris campaign is very proud that it received the endorsement of 50 former CIA agents and officers and of John Bolton and of Dick Cheney.” Musk wore his all-black MAGA hat during the rally, which he called “dark gothic MAGA,” and vowed to cut government spending if Trump secures the election and appoints Musk to the administration as “Secretary of Cost-Cutting.”Trump had teased for months that he would hold a rally at Madison Square Garden and officially announced the event earlier in October. “This is going to be an iconic, historic day, and you can see it’s already full. I mean, it’s amazing. These tickets sold out in less than three hours. And it shows the enthusiasm, the momentum, the energy as we are in this closing chapter of an unbelievable campaign,” New York Rep. Elise Stefanik told Fox News Digital ahead of the rally, saying New York is in play for the Trump campaign. Fox Digital spoke to attendees outside the arena, who said they are “excited” to see Trump at home in New York City and that many New Yorkers are ready to pull the lever for the GOP ticket next week. “Absolutely,” Westchester native Alexa Brink told Fox Digital when asked if other New Yorkers she knows will vote for Trump. “All day long; let’s go Trump!” She added that she wasn’t sure if Trump could win New York, “but we’ll try!”Another rally-goer named Anas Shuaib said that on Nov. 5 voters will tell Harris: “You’re fired.””I’m an Arab American, Muslim American, and I’m voting for Trump because just like Kamala kicked out that Muslim at the rally, Ahmed Ghanim, we’re going to kick her out of the White House. And when Trump becomes president, there’s going to be peace, there’s going to be prosperity, and America first … no one else first,” he said. “We’re running against something far bigger than Joe or Kamala. And far more powerful than them, which is a massive, vicious, crooked, radical left machine that runs today’s Democrat Party. They’re just vessels. In fact, they’re perfect vessels because they’ll never give them a hard time. They’ll do whatever they want. I know many of them. It’s just this amorphous group of people. But they’re smart, and they’re vicious, and we have to defeat them,” he said.”We’re going to have the biggest victory in the history of our country on Nov. 5, and it’s going to be the biggest victory in history. We’re going to make America great again.”Get the latest updates from the 2024 campaign trail, exclusive interviews and more at our Fox News Digital election hub.
