Week in Assessment: Trump Amps Up Violent Rhetoric; Johnson Proposes Property Tax Hike


All of it comes all the way down to Tuesday as polls present an extremely tight race for president.

Former President Donald Trump has used more and more violent rhetoric within the closing days of the marketing campaign, telling Tucker Carlson on Thursday he want to see former Republican Congressman Liz Cheney with “weapons skilled on her face.”

Vice President Kamala Harris made a pitch for unity in Washington D.C. on the Ellipse – the place Trump supporters gathered in 2020 earlier than storming the Capitol.

In the meantime, Chicago’s Mayor Brandon Johnson say he’ll shut a funds hole with a property tax hike, which breaks a key marketing campaign pledge.

And after solely every week on the job, the mayor pressured out his CPS college board president over inflammatory social media posts.
