With four days to go -- and the candidates engaging in their final push -- Donald Trump is lashing out at Liz Cheney, who's supporting Kamala Harris. Thursday night in Arizona, he called her a "war hawk" and said she should face "nine barrels," appearing to suggest a firing squad.
As of 4 p.m. ET on Friday, more than 68 million Americans have voted early, according to the Election Lab at the University of Florida.
Of the total number of early votes, 36,397,988 were cast in person and 31,941,931 were returned by mail.

Musk asks for $1 million lottery case to be moved to federal court
In a filing late Wednesday evening, Elon Musk sought to have the lawsuit against his $1 million giveaway moved into federal court, arguing the claims "turn principally on the allegation that defendants are somehow unlawfully interfering with a federal election."
Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner has accused Musk and his America PAC of running an illegal lottery and violating state consumer protection laws.
The filing specifically states "this is not a case" about whether or not Musk violated state or federal laws that prohibit vote buying.
But Musk's Wednesday filing notes the lawsuit's repeated references to the upcoming presidential election. That includes Krasner's claim that Musk and his PAC "hatched their illegal lottery scheme to influence voters in that election."
"The complaint, in truth, has little to do with state-law claims of nuisance and consumer protection," Musk's attorney wrote in his filing.
"Rather, although disguised as state law claims, the complaint's focus is to prevent defendants' purported 'interference' with the forthcoming federal presidential election by any means."
The filing argues any order in the case would "require judicial intervention into the progress of an ongoing federal election" -- a move they say is not allowed.
The filing comes before a Thursday morning hearing in Philadelphia on the issue.

Harris responds to Trump's comments on protecting women
Vice President Kamala Harris seized an opportunity to criticize former President Donald Trump on abortion after the Republican presidential nominee told a rally Wednesday night that he would protect women "whether the women like it or not."
"Donald Trump thinks he should get to make decisions about what you do with your body," Harris wrote on X. "Whether you like it or not."
Harris's campaign clipped Trump's comments and edited it into a loop with a split screen of headlines about Trump saying "he could prosecute women for abortions," "might monitor pregnancies" and other abortion-related headlines.
