Trump escalated his criticism by showing a campaign ad that featured Alexis Nungaray, whose 12-year-old daughter, Jocelyn, was killed by two illegal immigrants from Venezuela. Trump characterized Harris as being directly responsible for such tragedies, saying, “What Kamala did to Jocelyn and her family is the most heartless and cold-blooded betrayal imaginable. Thousands of cases just like that…they come in from parts unknown. People have no idea who they are, where they’re from, anything about them.”
He didn’t hold back, adding, “Kamala violated her oath…she got innocent girls like Jocelyn tortured and killed. Anyone who knowingly sets loose these monsters into our country has absolutely no right to be running for office, let alone the office of president.”

Trump also took the opportunity to address his standing in the polls, stating confidently, “We’re leading, I believe, in all seven swing states” with just one week until Election Day. The former president expressed concern over potential election issues in Pennsylvania, alluding to “serious things” that had been discovered but did not elaborate further. “The election itself is going very well,” he assured.
As he continued, Trump emphasized that his campaign is about reversing the damage he believes Harris has done. “In less than four years, Kamala Harris has obliterated our borders…decimated the middle class and runaway inflation has caused problems the likes of which we never thought possible.” His message was clear: “I’m running on a plan to save America. We’re going to save America.”
Shortly before Trump’s press conference, the Nevada Supreme Court ruled against a Republican challenge concerning mail-in ballots. The court upheld that ballots received up to three days after Election Day could still be counted, even if they had no postmark. The ruling was a significant setback for Republicans, who argued that ballots without a postmark should not be included.
According to The Hill, the court’s majority opinion stated, “If a voter properly and timely casts their vote by mailing their ballot before or on the day of the election, and through a post office omission the ballot is not postmarked, it would go against public policy to discount that properly cast vote.” The ruling further noted that there is “no principled distinction” between ballots with illegible postmarks and those without any postmark at all.
Five justices supported the ruling, while two concurred with the outcome but expressed concerns over the lack of evidence to suggest mail-in ballots could lead to voter fraud. In a separate opinion, one justice wrote, “It is not in the public interest to change the rules governing this election this close to election day.”
Bold, Durable, and Patriotic: Trump Yard Signs Selling Out!
The Republican National Committee expressed disappointment with the court’s decision. “Requiring ballots to be postmarked on or before Election Day is a critical election integrity safeguard,” said RNC Spokesperson Claire Zunk. “By allowing Nevada officials to ignore the law’s postmark requirement, the state’s highest court has undermined the integrity of Nevada’s elections.”
With Nevada being one of the seven key battleground states, Republicans fear the ruling could affect the election’s outcome. However, polling data suggests that Trump holds a lead over Harris in the state, potentially making him the first GOP candidate in decades to secure a victory there.
Trump’s press conference set the stage for a dramatic final week of campaigning, as he positioned himself as the candidate to reverse Harris’ policies, particularly on border security. Meanwhile, the Nevada mail-in ballot ruling serves as a flashpoint in the battle over election integrity, with both parties watching closely as Election Day looms.
