'Fanning fuel of hate': Harris says Trump is focused on dividing US

Responding to Sunday night's rally on her way to a campaign stop in Michigan yesterday, Harris said the former president was "focused and actually fixated on his grievances, on himself, and on dividing our country, and it is not in any way something that will strengthen the American family, the American worker".

The lawsuit by the district attorney, Larry Krasner, accuses the tech billionaire and his America Pac group of attempting to influence voters in the US election with hopes of a cash prize.

"America PAC and Elon Musk are running an illegal lottery in Philadelphia (as well as throughout Pennsylvania)," the suit says.

Pennsylvania is one of the key swing states where the presidential election between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris will be decided.

The suit specifies that at a 19 October campaign rally, Musk announced that if a registered voter turned over personal identifying information and signed a petition pledging "support for the constitution", they would be eligible to be selected randomly for a $1m prize.
